"Chief, how long will it take? A cavalryman asked.

The leading cavalryman raised the whip in his hand and pointed ahead

"Crossing the plain in front of you and seeing the mountains in the distance, that's the destination. ”

"Boss, can we have a good rest after we complete this task this time? It's been a long time since I've been drinking and playing with women!" Another voice followed, and the laughter was full of lewd D.

"What do you want to do? The task ordered by the above, we have to be responsible for guarding the mining area when we catch the strong man, and this time we will be stationed here. ”

"Ah, it's a chore! Chief, how could you choose such a coolie according to your character?"

"You know a chicken neck, do you know what mining area you went to this time?"

"What mining area?" Several voices surrounded him, and the volume was significantly lowered.

"Pearls and Flints"

"Ahhh......h

"This is a power stone!" exclaimed.

"This is a necessity for refining artifacts!" another exclamation.

"Yes, yes, I've heard that the more times an artifact is refined, the higher the grade, and the beads and flints required for each more tempering are explosive. And the more times you quench, the greater the likelihood of failure, and once you fail, all the previous pearls and flints will be lost. ”

"Yes, so things like artifacts, except for nobles, are really not something that ordinary people can play. ”

"Yes, the further you go, the more beads and flints you need, like the beads and flints needed by the Nine Rank Artifact, a hundred mining areas are not enough. Not to mention the ten-rank or even the 'Orderless Artifact'. ”

"Boss, I finally know why you chose this mission, it seems to be hard, but there is a lot in it!"

"You just wait to get rich with me, with money, what kind of money to spend all day and wine, what kind of fragrant mansion and beautiful women make you tired of dying in it. ”

"Hahaha............" Kinky D's laughter crossed and mixed.

Bead flint is a necessary energy stone for refining artifacts, because the major nobles always want to refine more powerful artifacts, so the demand for bead flint is in short supply. The major nobles collected as much as they wanted, and some countries made laws prohibiting the transfer of large quantities of pearls and flints to other countries, and violators were punished as treason.

Pearl-flint is the hard currency of various countries, and it is not easy to mine, and the price is comparable to gold, and sometimes the price of pearl flint once exceeded that of gold.

The mining area that Huai'an went to this time is the newly excavated pearl flint mine.

Hearing the conversation of the cavalry, the captives were also refreshed, they were not happy because they had pearls, they were happy because they finally knew where the end was.

There is no greater fear in life than not knowing where the end of suffering is!

It was already dark when it approached the peak, and in the distance there was a high mountain, and through the moonlight, the summit could be seen towering into the clouds. Looking at this mountain from a distance, it is not big, not far away, who knows that the peak of a few steps away has been walking all day. When you get closer to the bottom of the mountain, you realize how small you are.

The area around the mountain peak for several kilometers is all blocked, and there is a clear post every fifty meters in the outermost layer, and then there are countless secret posts on the surrounding mountains and underground.

The underground sentry was very hidden, digging a pit two meters in diameter and two meters deep into the ground, revealing only an observation hole twenty centimeters above the ground, and the rest of the ground was completely covered as the ground. From a distance, there was nothing unusual, and the two of them took turns on duty.

There are also mobile patrol posts in the innermost layer of the blockade.

The cavalry escorted the team to the mining area, and when they arrived at the door, they exchanged official documents, and only after learning the password could they continue to walk inside.

In the middle of the night, the earth sleeps, and everything seems to be still. It is as if the landing of a needle will wake up the earth and mountains.

Huai'an and the other captives bowed their heads and bent over, and marched deep into the mining area.

Suddenly, there was a loud shout of "stop" and "password"

The "urgent" leading cavalry also shouted. "Order"

An echo came from across the other side of "Done".

After more than a dozen password inquiries along the way, Huai'an's team finally reached the center of the mining area. What he saw and heard along the way, Huai'an also secretly remembered it in his heart.

When he arrived at the place, Huai'an looked up and saw a huge mountain peak in the center, and near the top of the mountain, an arched hole was opened, and the light was shining inside.

All of them were thrown into a hut at the foot of the hill in the dark of night, filled with a foul stench, and animal droppings were everywhere, which should have been the horses and cattle that had been locked up.

"Throw them here first, the brothers have worked hard all the way, let's go back and take a hot bath, sleep well and rest. Disband!" After the leader finished speaking, the crowd dispersed. Only a group of people in Huai'an who were thrown into the thatched house, after running all the way, everyone was already exhausted, and they fell to the ground and lay down, the thatched house space was very small, and everyone could only cross their heads and feet in a row. The sound of coughing came and went, some people were infected with malaria, some people were infected with unknown diseases, some vomited, some diarrhea, all in the corners of the huts. The stench of the people, the smell of animal and human feces, the stench of vomit, mixed with the sound of coughing, all fermented in this hut.

At this time, human life is like dust!

All this is like what happened to Huai'an, it stinks, and life will give you a big easter egg at some point, and sometimes you will turn into meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered. Sometimes you turn into a thin donkey, "fate" holds the reins in one hand and waves a big long whip in the other, the whip is bloody, but you can't break free!

Huai'an was like meat on a chopping block and a donkey at this time, but he still chose to move forward resolutely!

The next day, the door of the hut was kicked open, and the sound of rough orders was incessant, and the people in the hut were frightened, and hurriedly got up and walked out of the door, and at this time they were discharged like a piece of. The stench covered the soldiers' noses.

"Stand in a row" "You hurry up for me" The soldier kicked at a weak man who had just left the door, and the man fell to the ground, and the soldiers laughed. Huai'an saw it and hurriedly went over to help the man who fell.

"Stand in a line and walk forward" The soldier led the group to a puddle.

Then a soldier came, holding a wooden barrel filled with blue powder, and sprinkled it on each captive. When he had finished scattering, he ordered the captives to jump into the nearby puddle. The puddle was muddy, and the captives were forced to jump into it. They don't know what's going to greet them next.

"Wash your dirty skin, this is your last bath in months. ”

When the captives heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief, for to them staying alive was the most important thing.

After washing their bodies, Huai'an and the others changed into uniform prison clothes and took them to a camp, where rows of wooden houses were lined in a circle, and there was a large open space in the middle. Huai'an and they stood in a neat row in the clearing, and then a strong man came over, wearing a shoulder made of animal skin, a pair of wide-cut trousers on the bottom, leather boots on his feet, a crescent scimitar hanging from his waist, and a short whip in his hand. Tiger Tiger walked towards Huai'an and a group of people.
