Chapter 80: Land Grabbing
"Bad luck, there is so much garbage again, what a waste of Lao Tzu's time!" Their foreman is called Wang Long, a third-order martial artist, tall and dark-skinned, not a good match at first glance, just a long way of kung fu, many ambitious men were whipped by him with colorless faces, and they couldn't stand it before they entered the mine.
There are many people who want to enter Chengtianzong to mine, Wang Lung doesn't care, and takes people into the chaotic mining cave, and then says: "Rabbit cubs, one person leads a shovel, and dig enough five catties of low-grade spirit stones or one catty of medium-grade spirit stones to come out to eat, don't think about hiding spirit stones for Lao Tzu, when you get out of the cave, there is a magic circle to detect, and those who find that they hide spirit stones will be killed directly!" ”
With that, one person kicked a group of coolies into the dark cave, and the stone gate was closed.
Anyway, you can only eat if you hand in enough spirit stones, and the physical cultivators only have the strength to work if they are full, and if they don't pay enough spirit stones, they won't have anything to eat, and if they don't have enough food to eat, they won't be able to make up enough spirit stones, and in the long run, they will only starve to death in the cave in the end.
In addition, every time you go in and out, there is a formation to detect whether someone is hiding privately, and you can't bring things like storage bags into it at all, so you can only bring as many things as you can with you, so Wang Lung never worries about someone being lazy.
Tong Xiaoye held Ning Yuan's hand tightly, and before he could adapt to the surrounding environment, he felt a big foot kicking towards him, Ning Yuan moved quickly, pulling her to dodge lightly.
"Little rabbit cub, hand over the dry food and shovel, Lao Tzu will spare your life, otherwise it will ......" A group of big men laughed and surrounded them, and by the glow of the night pearl on the top of the cave, Tong Xiaoye found that the things on the newcomers had been robbed. There were cries everywhere, and there was a young man who was the most miserable, wearing a brand new brocade robe, and even his clothes were stripped clean.
Those who came here were not vegetarians, and many of them were also strong men, so they immediately shouted and cursed, but were stopped by a group of equally strong men.
It was three middle-aged men who came to shout Ning Yuan, Ning Yuan's eyes swept slightly, he quietly threw down the shovel in his hand, and silently released his package.
Tong Xiaoye did the same. Cowardly shrank beside Ning Yuan. It's very timid.
A thin young man and a child, all dirty, all cowardly and obedient, the big man has to clean up the new thorns. Didn't look at them. Take the shovel with the baggage. With a bang, a curled shovel was thrown at Ning Yuan's feet.
They took two shovels and returned only one.
Ning Yuan didn't make a sound. Pulling Tong Xiaoye straight towards the crowd that had been looted.
There, there's a guy arranging a place for them.
"The three of you go to that hole, you two go to the one on the west side, you, you and you, the one with the circle on the left!" The man kept shouting, everyone dispersed, and after a while, Tong Xiaoye and Ning Yuan were left.
The man glanced at them in disgust, and stretched out his long hand: "You two rabbit cubs, what are you doing standing there stupidly?" ”
Tong Xiaoye knew that he was asking for benefits, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "This uncle, we are from over there, where can there be anything left." ”
"Qian San's dog|day, I don't even give Lao Tzu any soup!" The man glanced at the direction Tong Xiaoye was pointing, muttered, and scolded impatiently: "You two, dig the westernmost edge!" ”
"Huh?" Tong Xiaoye was slightly stunned, and asked suspiciously: "Uncle, don't everyone else have to dig in the hole?" There's nothing to the west!"
"Just you two skinny monkeys, you still want to dig in the hole, go to the wall and lie down!" The man didn't raise his head, and went directly to call the next person, Ning Yuan shook her hand, Tong Xiaoye nodded obediently, and followed Ning Yuan to the west wall.
There were several people crawling on the wall, each of them was as thin as a monkey, and it looked like they hadn't eaten for several days.
"Brother, didn't you say we could mine in the cave? But ......"
Tong Xiaoye was puzzled.
Ning Yuan told her before that they could occupy a deep mine cave when they entered here, and as long as they dug up enough spirit stones, both of them could concentrate on cultivation.
But now that they are digging in the wall, there are people everywhere outside, where do they dare to cultivate.
Ning Yuan helped her wipe the beads of sweat dripping from her forehead, and said: "There is more than one force in the mine, when the newcomers come, these forces will be temporarily twisted together, and they will try their best to suppress the newcomers to avoid chaos, at this time, we can't act rashly, wait for a few days to return to normal, many strong newcomers are starting to move, and the territory will be redivided, let's take the opportunity to grab a promising mine." ”
It turns out that this is the case, I didn't expect to be so particular about digging a mine!
Tong Xiaoye suddenly realized, and took advantage of the gap where Ning Yuan was digging the spirit stone to seriously look at the surrounding environment.
This place is not what she imagined, there are shiny spirit stones everywhere, in fact, most of the mines are black and swarthy rocks, and occasionally there are low-grade spirit stones embedded in the rock wall, and someone is holding a shovel and digging hard.
There are also people who can't find the exposed spirit stones, so they vigorously wield their shovels and dig directly into the rock wall, hoping to try their luck and chisel out one or two spirit stones.
The situation is clearly better in the north.
Through the light of the Night Pearl, you can see a large number of spirit stones embedded in the mountain rocks, and several men are digging hard, judging from their figures, their strength is around the third order, which is very amazing.
Listening to Ning Yuan, the situation in the mines inside is not necessarily, some of the mines are very barren, not as good as the rock wall where they are, and they can't dig anything for a day.
And some mines are rich in spirit stones, and if you are lucky, you can even dig out large pieces of medium-grade spirit stones.
"Then why are we digging outside?" Tong Xiaoye looked at the thin boy lying on the wall, still a little puzzled.
"Just look at that person, wait for his spirit stone to dig out." Ning Yuan kept digging with a shovel, turned around and winked at her.
Tong Xiaoye didn't have a shovel, so he was idle, so he went to observe the thin boy.
His spirit stone was about to be dug out, and the young man seemed to see hope, so he dug harder, and finally, a spirit stone the size of an apricot kernel fell into his hand.
The young man picked up the spirit stone, but did not hide it on his body, but ran to a strong man with the spirit stone in his hand: "Brother Yu, I have been digging for three whole days, and I haven't eaten, I really can't dig anymore, just give me food to eat, I will dig hard!" ”
"Cut, you lazy stinky boy, it took three days to dig ten catties of spirit stones, and now you want to eat, dream, the one who dug fifteen catties hasn't eaten yet!"
"Brother Yu, just let me take a bite, I really can't hold on." The young man knelt at the feet of Brother Yu and begged hard, but was kicked out by Brother Yu: "Get out, you bastard, continue to dig for Lao Tzu, don't dig enough twenty catties to eat?" No way! ”
Tong Xiaoye instantly understood why he wanted his brother and sister to dig here.
It turned out that the people dug on the rock wall were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and the spirit stones dug out couldn't be kept at all, and they were robbed in an instant, so they simply attached themselves to a force and ate under them.
"The foreman also knows about these twists and turns in the mine, but as long as they can collect the spirit stones, the others will turn a blind eye, and with these people squeezing the coolies fiercely, the efficiency of digging spirit stones will only be higher. Fortunately, there are more people in Chengtianzong who are afraid of death, which will arouse the anger of the people, and if there are more deaths, the small boss must be punished, otherwise the situation will be even worse. ”
Ning Yuan explained to her that he had dug out a spirit stone the size of a walnut in his hand.
"Hey, kid, hand over the spirit stone!" Yu San, who was counting, had already stared at him, and as soon as the spirit stone fell off, he screamed from afar.
Ning Yuan didn't resist either, and threw the spirit stone over with a wave of his hand.
He has already opened the valley, as long as there is a spirit stone, he can restore his body, he doesn't need to eat at all, Xiao Ye doesn't eat much after entering the qi refining period, and the food in the space he carries is enough, and they have a big plan, and they can't face a group of people for a spirit stone.
An An steadily dug the spirit stone for a week, in order to avoid trouble, Ning Yuan also went out with Tong Xiaoye to have a meal, and on the eighth day, someone finally started to make trouble.
"Fuck off, they're all the same work, why should Lao Tzu work for you, brothers, kill this group of blood-sucking mosquitoes that eat people and don't spit out bones!"
Many of the newcomers are acquaintances, and they have made a lot of friends in the past few days, and as soon as a big man raised his arms, several people responded, and surrounded the small group headed by Yu San.
After a fire, a few people led by the big man robbed a cave with a good output of spirit stones.
Someone took the lead, and the people below rioted.
There were successful and suppressed, except for the old, weak, sick and hungry guys who couldn't get up, many people began to resist in groups, and chaos gradually became in the mines.
"Ono, let's go over there!" Ning Yuan waved Tong Xiaoye, and the two walked quietly to the northwest corner.
There is a deep cave in the northwest corner of the mining area, where the production of spirit stones is good, but the temperature is the highest underground, and the cave is especially hot, the master is reluctant to go there, and the weak can not survive, so it has been occupied by a small force.
There were three people in this small group, and the leader was a third-order martial artist named Zhou Yi.
"Stop, who are you, why did you come to our territory?" A few meters into the mine, a voice shouted.
Ning Yuan didn't speak, and three cold ice palms passed, directly knocking the man to the ground.
After cultivating for so long, Ning Yuan has not only entered the late stage of foundation building, but has already reached the third order in terms of body refining, but he has also cultivated the Nine Transformations Fusion Yuan Gong, and his body shape has not changed much, and the level of physical cultivation can only be judged by strength and appearance, so no one knows his true strength at all.
After the man fell to the ground, Zhou Yi quickly jumped out, holding a shovel in his hand, and guarded the deep hole with a second-order martial artist vigilantly. (To be continued......)
