Chapter 8: Blessings and Misfortunes

A blood-red sun was sinking and setting in the west, the purple moon was rising, and the day in the underworld was over.

There is moonlight falling, purple and demonic, and the ghost slaves who have worked hard for a day have finally completed their tasks for the day.

Syllable!

"Hurry up!"

In the square, the ghost pawn flicked his whip, snapped, and sparkled on the ground.

His face was hideous, and he pointed at the soul whip one by one, and shouted: "You lowly ghost slaves, slow moving, do you want to enter the oil pot and stay?"

Syllable!

"Ahh

"Hurry up!"

The ghost pawn looked furious, and slammed the whip on an old man's cheek, causing him to scream miserably. The hundreds of ghost slaves nearby suddenly shuddered, while Ye Chen observed carefully and found that many people's expressions were a little strange.

"These people are pretending!"

He understood at a glance that there were many people who were as unwilling as him, and he was not alone. It's that human beings themselves can't stand being a slave, which no one can bear, even after death.

The ghost slaves handed over their ore one by one, and then, under the threat of the ghost pawns, they entered the mine one by one to rest. Wait for tomorrow to come, continue to start the day of mining, and all mining tools have been confiscated.

That kind of black catalpa for mining, Ye Chen had also checked, it was a unique Horcrux. You can dig out that kind of magical soul crystal in this soul crystal vein, and you will naturally be charged.

And, without this kind of minerale, Ye Chen would not be able to dig out the ore, let alone obtain soul crystals from it. Only during the day, digging a little more, hiding a little more ore, can you have the opportunity to cultivate at night.

Cultivating with this kind of soul crystal is much easier than absorbing ghost qi from the void to cultivate, and it is many times faster. As for the promotion from a ghost slave to a ghost pawn, it is actually very simple, as long as you can absorb ghost qi into your soul, you can condense your ghost heart.

Call!

Ye Chen returned to the small cave where the ore was hidden, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the pile full of ore, his heart was hot. He didn't talk nonsense at all, and directly began to crush the ore and take out the soul crystals one by one. Strangely, the ore itself is difficult to break when it has not been excavated, but when it is excavated, it is found that it is easy to break.

"More than three hundred and forty soul crystals!"

Ye Chen's face was excited, looking at the pile of glittering crystals in front of him, he directly sat cross-legged to the side and began to enter cultivation. This is today's total harvest, some of the ore that I hid, and I was finally able to cultivate.

Crash!

As soon as he entered the cultivation, a mysterious power emanated from his body, and the pile of soul crystals wrapped his entire body with a bang. And, swirling around his body, emitting one amazing energy after another, this is a kind of ghost energy, or soul energy, that can make the soul strong.

Rumble -

Ye Chen was washed by one majestic soul qi after another, and his body was submerged in a thick black mist. The entire small cave** was filled with a thick black fog, and there were even many ghosts gathered from all directions outside.

Streams of black ghost qi washed his body over and over again, and finally melted into his heart. It seems that the boundless ghost qi rushes into the ghost heart, and is compressed and refined by a pitch-black heart, forming a magical power, which is called - ghost power!

Bang! Bang!

In the process, many soul crystals were devoured, and one after another exploded into a pile of powder. And this time didn't last long, all the soul crystals were absorbed, and they became the foundation of Ye Chen's promotion strength.

"Promoted to the top ghost!"

As soon as Ye Chen came to his senses, he muttered this slightly excitedly. But because of this cultivation, he was finally promoted to the top ghost pawn, and his own strength increased several times.

"Big brother, what do you say?"

At this moment, a subtle voice came, which shocked Ye Chen's expression. He swept out of the cave and suddenly found that thirty meters outside there were five people gathered together, discussing something in a whisper.

Hush!

"Don't be so loud!"

Among them, a burly middle-aged man sighed lightly, he looked around, and then whispered: "We were first-class in life, and we never wanted to die and become a lowly ghost slave!"

"That's it!"

The other four men nodded one after another, and one of them sneakily glanced around and whispered, "Big brother, we are not discussing the things before we died, but what we should do!"

"Big brother, come on, we'll all listen to you!" another man whispered.

"Yes, we listen to Big Brother!"

The remaining two men nodded one after another, and the four of them quietly looked at the burly middle-aged man, waiting for him to speak.

"What do they want to do?"

Ye Chen's brows frowned slightly, and he had doubts in his heart, and then quietly observed these five people and listened to what they said. Seeing that burly middle-aged man pondered slightly, for a long time, he slowly raised his head and swept past the other four one by one.

He said: "We are in a very bad situation now, according to my knowledge of one of the oldest ghost slaves, this place is a soul crystal mine of forces, and we are only one of the branches. ”

"As far as I know!"

He paused slightly before continuing: "There are still many ore veins near us, and we are on the periphery, and in the center, there is the real main vein, where there are at least a hundred thousand ghost slaves. ”

"Hundreds of thousands?"

The four of them looked so shocked that they almost exclaimed, and even Ye Chen, who was eavesdropping on the side, was also surprised. He then listened more intently, which was not something he knew, so he was very attentive.

Kindness!

The middle-aged eldest brother bowed slightly, looked around, and then whispered: "We must unite more people, our first task is to find a way to become strong, otherwise we will always be a slave." ”

"Big brother, how can we be strong?" asked a man.

"Yes!"

"We listen to Big Brother!"

Looking at the reactions of the four people, the middle-aged eldest brother was slightly satisfied, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, do you remember, what was that guard like before? Is he a ghost slave like us?"

"Don't talk, listen to me!"

He immediately interrupted the four people who wanted to speak, and continued: "According to the scattered information I heard, that guard is a ghost pawn who is stronger than us, and I have heard that there are stronger ghost soldiers above the ghost pawn!"

"But—"

The middle-aged eldest brother's face was serious, he swept the four of them one by one, and said, "I found out that he became a ghost pawn by accident, as for why he became a ghost pawn, I think this is the reason!"

"That's it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a crystal the size of his thumb appeared, which made Ye Chen's expression slightly surprised. He never imagined that someone would discover the secret of these ores, and then there was a burst of natural knowledge, and there was no shortage of intelligent people in human beings. Even if he dies, he is still wise, and these people are often people with strong hearts and strong beliefs.

"Big brother, is this the ore we dug up?" a man asked, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"Not bad!"

The middle-aged elder brother looked affirmative, quietly glanced around, and then said, "Do you have a feeling? That is, when you see this thing, you are very eager to eat it?"

"Yes, yes!"

"What's going on?"

Hey!

The middle-aged eldest brother suddenly smiled in a low voice and said: "This is our hope for being promoted to a ghost pawn, as long as we eat this ghost crystal, we can gradually strengthen ourselves, I have eaten a lot, and I am already about to reach the realm of ghost pawns." ”

"Really?"

When the four people on the side heard this, they were immediately excited, and their faces began to flush. Their conversation surprised Ye Chen on the side, he never thought that someone would dare to eat the soul crystal, and he really ate it right.

"Don't make a noise!"

The middle-aged eldest brother sighed in a low voice and said, "Our primary purpose now is to secretly hide a few ghost crystals every day, and then secretly eat them when we rest at night, and when we become ghost pawns or even stronger, we can find a way to escape." ”

"Yes, we all listen to big brother!"

The four of them nodded excitedly, and then, the middle-aged elder brother took out five thumb-sized crystals and sent them to the four of them one by one.

"Come!"

He stretched out his hand and said: "One piece per person, eat it first, we will be brothers in the same boat in the future, share wealth and hardship!"

"Wealth and misfortune are shared, never abandoned!"

The five of them said this sentence in unison with serious expressions, as if there was an invisible force that connected the hearts of the five people, brotherly feelings, and seemed to be the sincere feelings of comrades-in-arms.

"A good blessing and misfortune, never give up!"

Ye Chen walked out of the cave ** after the five of them left quietly, and muttered this. He sighed in his heart, in human society, many people have forgotten the most precious things, but when they came to such a netherworld, they found these precious things because of oppression.

"Ghosts have ghost hearts, people have human hearts, people's hearts are the most unpredictable, and the most rare thing is also people's hearts!" Ye Chen looked at the five people who returned to the ghost slave and muttered.

Ye Chen returned to the side of the ghost slaves in a blink of an eye, leaning against the wall of the cave, thinking about his future. He thought that it was not a way to stay here all the time, and he had to get a better identity for himself before he could continue to cultivate.

Otherwise, it may be discovered later, and there may be some trouble at that time. After all, a ghost slave actually knows how to cultivate strongly, and he is not unaware of the endless cultivation, which may cause a big problem.

Rumble!

At this moment, a tremor came from afar, from far and near, causing the entire mine to tremble slightly, and mud and stones slid down. Everyone's faces changed greatly by this sudden shock, but Ye Chen jumped up in an instant, his expression was very surprised!
