Chapter 523: The First Day of Being a Coolie
Slaves, that's the people at the bottom. Unlike the warriors, they are a group of undignified beings who are imprisoned in the dark and slaughtered.
Ye Lingyu thought that he would be depressed one day, but he never thought that he would one day become a slave.
Before he could speak, the beard had already dragged him over: "Haha, look, my lord, this kid is strong, and he suffered some minor injuries a few days ago, so it's good to take care of it for two days." ”
Although Ye Lingyu looks sluggish now, he has finally honed a tight muscle. He wasn't the burly type, but he was extremely tough, and his whole body seemed to be as hard as steel.
The man on the other side looked at Ye Lingyu twice: "Well, it looks like it has been refined, but that's it, such a person is dragged back, we still have to raise it, no matter how you look at it, it's not a cost-effective deal, give you two hundred and fifty spirit crystals, get out." ”
"Ouch, my lord, I just said that it was three hundred, why has it become two hundred and five. ”
"Less nonsense, and more nonsense, I'll only give you two hundred. The big guy on the other side snorted coldly.
Ye Lingyu couldn't help but laugh beside him, he was actually worth two or three hundred spirit crystals, which was really cheap enough.
Xiao Hei wanted to get out of his arms, but he pressed him back.
Although it is unpleasant to be treated as a slave, it is not to the point of making trouble.
"Lord, you let me teach them a lesson. ”
"Shut up and be quiet. Don't make trouble until I recover. "Just kidding, they don't know where they are right now, if they make any noise and are discovered by Mo Ye and them, it will really be ten deaths.
The strong man circled around Ye Lingyu twice, stretched out his hand and slapped him on the back.
Usually, such a gentle pat can be regarded as a greeting at most, but the power of the Heavenly Dao in Ye Lingyu's body is chaotic, and with a slap down, he only feels that his internal organs are churning, and a mouthful of blood is spit out.
Both the strong man and the bearded man were so frightened that they hurriedly jumped back, just patted it lightly, and actually slapped the kid to vomit blood.
"Hey, isn't this guy a mortal!" Seeing the blood stains all over the ground, the strong man's face was extremely displeased.
"No, no, my lord, you misunderstood, really not, he ...... He...... That's what he just was...... It's a little bit off. ”
"!" the strong man shook his flesh, "you are angry, spit blood on me! A hundred and fifty spirit crystals at most, and any more, you don't want any more. ”
The beard looked depressed, just now it was still two hundred and fifty, and in the blink of an eye, it shrank to one hundred and fifty spirit crystals, he really wanted to chop Ye Lingyu with a knife, so he didn't want to die but he vomited blood at this time.
"Bad luck. He snorted coldly, "Lao Tzu kindly picked you up, you are not interesting to find me." ”
Accepted one hundred and five spirit crystals, turned around and went back to the house with hatred.
Ye Lingyu was forcibly dragged into a cage by the strong man and his party, and was locked up with several other skinny guys. The dragon-bearded horse pulling the cart let out a neighing roar and dragged the cart away.
It took nearly half a day to follow the carriage and travel all the way to a jungle. In the middle of the jungle, against a mountain wall, there is a simple bungalow made of wood. Countless ragged people came and went in the caves in the mountain walls.
Along the way, Ye Lingyu heard a lot of news from the escorts and the people around him. I know that this is a chamber of commerce called "Black Cliff", and the Black Cliff Chamber of Commerce is doing business openly, but secretly it is doing human trafficking. They collected slaves from all over the world and used them to mine the veins and other hard laborers.
The Black Cliff Chamber of Commerce is one of the best slave camps, famous in the entire continent, no matter what slaves, as long as they still have a breath, they will take it as promised. Ordinary human teeth are usually sold to the Black Cliff Chamber of Commerce after abducting and selling slaves. There are four major domains, southeast, northwest, and slaves in each domain.
And when you enter here, you are almost doomed to the fate of a lifetime, and those who can enter here are almost exhausted to the moment of death.
Among the slaves, there are also many people who have cultivation, whether it is the yellow rank, or even the Xuan rank. But even if there is a Xuan-level cultivation, there may not be any way out.
When they arrived at the slave camp, Ye Lingyu and the others were each handcuffed with a chain weighing more than ten catties under their feet. Along the way, when the sound of the long voice is endless.
In addition to being heavy, this chain can also limit people's cultivation, in other words, in this case, anyone is just an "ordinary person".
The people who came in batches were escorted to various barracks, and Ye Lingyu and several others were taken by a shirtless strong man to a broken wooden house in the corner. There were already a few people in the wooden house, all of them skinny and skinny. Even if someone came, they were blinded.
"Come here, this is where you guys live. I will give you three hours of sleep a day, one meal a day, and no one shall complain to me. Don't say we don't treat you well, we can give you food every day, you don't have this treatment anywhere else. Don't even think about escaping, our slave camp is guarded by the Ladder. If you think you can escape, just try and get caught...... Hmph, those air-dried corpses hanging on the cliffs are your example. ”
The jailer raised an iron whip in his hand and said viciously: "Sleep for me tonight, and no one will want to be lazy for me tomorrow." ”
With that, he walked out with a high toe.
There was silence in the room for a moment.
The whole wooden house was messy, except for a wide bed and a few broken porcelain jars that caught rainwater. The whole room was filled with a foul and musty smell.
Ye Lingyu slowly walked to the side of the bed and sat down in the corner of the bed.
"Hey, boy, get up. A thin old man next to him immediately shouted, "That's my place." ”
Ye Lingyu glanced at him slightly and moved to the side slightly.
"Hey, you're sitting in the wrong place. Then another voice said, "There's no one in the moldy place by the window, so I'm going to sit over there." ”
Looking over there, in the corner by the window, there is a hole in the top of the head, which may be dripping with rain all year round, and the corner of the bed on that side is a little moldy.
Ye Lingyu didn't bother to take care of them, so he found an open space to meditate and rest.
Now he can't even summon the slightest spiritual power, and he doesn't plan to cause trouble.
"Heh, still meditating, thinking that you are a beautiful warrior?" A cold laugh came from a corner of the room, "When you enter here, you will be in the dark for a lifetime, a warrior, a warrior is a fart." ”
Ye Lingyu didn't raise his eyes, a group of people who were waiting to die, he had nothing to say to these people.
They rested all night, and the next morning, someone kicked open the door, carried them out, and then drove them all to the bottom of the mountain wall.
Beneath the huge mountain wall, there are thousands of caves that have been dug through, and the caves go straight underground. There were tens of thousands of people coming in and out.
Among the information he learned yesterday, there were many slave camps in the Black Cliff Chamber of Commerce, and this one was one of the largest of them.
In all directions, there are a lot of strong aura, and it is all the aura of the ground level, and it is no wonder that there are so many people, almost no one dares to escape.
And the man who had brought them threw in front of each of them a basket, a small shovel, and a pole.
He pulled a steel whip in his own hand: "You people, listen to me." Lao Tzu's surname is Qu, you can call me Qu in the future. In those caves in front of you, there is Haixin Jade, as long as you can collect 500 catties every day, you can come to me to get a bowl of pure heart liquid, and then you can also go to eat. But if anyone can't finish it, hum, it's five whips, and no one can try to escape. If you don't want to go hungry, if you don't want to be whipped, give me work!"
As soon as he said this, the people around him hurriedly picked up the guy and ran towards the cave.
Only Ye Lingyu was slightly taken aback.
Others care about food and whips, but he cares about Hai Xinyu and Pure Heart Liquid.
Haixin jade, which is also a relatively precious jade, can often be used in casting, and can also be sold at a good price in the market. But there is only one problem, that is, Haixin jade itself also contains a certain toxicity, if it is exposed for a long time, ordinary people can't bear it at all.
Only then did he realize that in the coming and going coolies, many of them had turned a little blue, and even some of them had grown blue spots. This is undoubtedly the symptom of Haixinyu poisoning. The blue face is because a certain amount of toxicity has accumulated in the body, and the growth of blue spots is a manifestation of toxicity entangled in the internal organs, and the appearance of the latter symptom indicates that death is not far away.
As for the heart purifying liquid, Ye Lingyu hadn't heard of it, but he guessed that it might be something that could dissolve the toxicity. After all, they paid for these coolies, and they certainly didn't want these people to die.
"Hey, you kid, what are you still inking?" Seeing that Ye Lingyu didn't move, Steward Qu opened his mouth to let out a loud shout.
Ye Lingyu skimmed him, didn't speak, and picked up the bamboo basket on the ground.
"Lord, do you want me to spray him to death with a mouthful of dragon breath?" Xiao Hei's indignant voice resounded in Ye Lingyu's heart.
It's just too annoying, Ye Lingyu is the inheritor of the dignified Demon Lord's position, and he was actually called by this small Xuanjie branch, and he had to do coolies for him, which is simply a dog's eye looking down on people.
"Okay, don't make trouble, I think it's good here. Ye Lingyu stopped its riot, "Mo Xie is definitely still looking for me, if he finds me now, I will definitely die." It's just right to stay here, and I'll find a way to leave when I'm back stronger. ”
The crowd here is dense, knocking and digging in the cave every day, no matter how good Mo Xie's brain is, he would not expect him to be mixed in such a group of people. It was both drudgery and an opportunity for him to recover.
Without much hesitation, I casually found a cave and entered it, and I could see that on the walls of the cave, there were a lot of blue lights shining with stars. Those should all be sea heart jade, so dense, there should be a sea heart jade vein below this.
A warrior with a long whip patrolled back and forth inside, but anyone who saw a lazy person would go down with a whip.
Ye Lingyu pretended to come to a cave wall and casually scraped two pieces of scattered sea heart jade.
"My brother just came. An aging voice came from the side.
When I turned my head, I saw that it was an old man, whose face was also a little blue, his skin was shriveled like tree bark, and his two eye sockets were deeply sunken.
"Yes, I only came yesterday. My husband must have been here for a long time. Ye Lingyu asked casually.
Compared to other self-contained people, this old man seems to be more talkative.
"Haha, I've been here for years. The old man smiled and said, "Dare to ask what the little brother is called?"
Ye Lingyu hesitated: "Wind ...... My name is Feng Lingyun. ”
Every time he used Fengyunlong's name as a pseudonym, he himself was a little embarrassed. Another day, if Fengyunlong knew about it, Brother Yunlong would have to use his hammer-sized fist to punch himself twice. Ye Lingyu didn't want to be angry.
"What do you call my husband?"
"My surname is Qi, just call me Uncle Qi. The old man smiled faintly.
"By the way, I want to ask my husband about it, dare to ask what kind of place this place is? Could it be that this is also the Western Regions?" Ye Lingyu suddenly asked.
Uncle Qi's face was a little strange: "Why don't you know where you are?"
Ye Lingyu was a little embarrassed: "I actually suffered some injuries before, I fell asleep for more than ten days, and when I woke up, I was sold here, so I don't know where I am at all." ”
"I see. Uncle Qi nodded, "It was actually sold, hey, these days, it's really not a good way to live." This is not the Western Regions, this is the Eastern Regions, the place you are in, called Pingyanggang, the closest city from here, is a city hundreds of miles to the east, called Eternal Night City. ”
