Chapter 001: Life is as cheap as grass
Two thousand miles west of Yancheng, you can see the Tianshan Mountains from high altitude, with mountains and mountains, ancient wood wolf forests, and the atmosphere of desolation and antiquity is pervasive.
In the depths of the Heavenly Mountain, the field of vision is very broad, just like standing on the edge of a giant sinkhole, looking at it, it is boundless, and there is no end in sight, only the blue sky and the huge pothole.
Leaning down, there is a terrible abyss, and a red light looms in the depths!
The edge of the sinkhole was covered with wide, steel-framed roads that led down to the ground, and there was a cacophony of clanging and whipping below, as well as faintly audible cursing and screaming.
Thousands of meters down the steel and iron staircase, at the bottom of the mine, the world is foggy, shrouded in clouds and smoke, and the flames are rolling, day and night are indistinguishable, and the outline of the undulating mountains can be vaguely seen.
In the middle, there was a huge bottomless black abyss, I don't know how deep, and a scorching aura emanated from it, keeping the temperature of the pit high.
This is a pit of the Taigu Mine, which is controlled by the Tang family, the five major forces of Yancheng.
The change of power, from ancient times to the present, I don't know how many forces have controlled this mine, and still provide them with a steady stream of wealth.
At the bottom of the pit, around the huge platform of the black hole, there are miners wielding hammers everywhere, some gathered on the flat ground, some hung on the mountain, and some carried ore in groups, densely packed, tens of thousands.
With the lowest layer as the boundary, the layer by layer extends upward, there are mine slaves, and in this pit alone, there are no less than 100,000 mine slaves.
The sonorous chiseling, the roar of rage, mixed with the terrible screams, filled the air of despair.
The scene is spectacular, but it is a poignant picture stained with blood.
A miner with shackles, about 1.7 meters tall, gray miner clothes are dirty and messy, under the unkempt hair, is a knife-like face, water chestnut horns, the face is covered with sweat stains, dust, between the opening and closing of the eyes, the occasional light is as sharp as a blade.
The body is not very strong, but it hides amazing strength, wielding a hammer to smash a piece of ore under his feet, the huge anti-shock force not only has no effect on him, but even uses the power of the anti-shock to increase the strength of the hammer.
Coordinated without losing beauty.
While!
Click!
As the ore beneath him cracked, a hedron as red as a diamond rolled to the ground.
Fire marble, which contains abundant fire energy, can be used to refine weapons and cultivation, and is the cultivation material that martial artists are most enthusiastic about.
"Oh ho, fire marble, another piece?" Tumanf, the leader of the overseers, was attracted by the glow and sat up from his chaise longue.
He has been paying attention to the "232" miner for a long time, and he can successfully complete his mining task every month, and there are no more than ten such miners under his jurisdiction.
But the others are all old miners in their forties and fifties with rich experience, but the "232" miner is no more than eighteen years old, which is a bit powerful.
"Come here!" Tumanf beckoned to Mine Slave 232.
Tang Le picked up the fire marble, his eyes fluctuated slightly, he dragged the hammer over, handed the fire marble to Tumanfu, and when he saw that it was recorded, he was about to turn around and leave.
"I've been paying attention to you for a long time, and I collect no more and no less fire marble every time, just ten pieces, don't say it's a coincidence, let's say it, how do you do it?" Tumanfu pinched the fire marble in his hand, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.
Tang Le's eyes flashed slightly, and he said hoarsely: "I used to be a martial artist, and I am more sensitive to fire marble, but I can only complete the tasks every month, and no matter how much my body can't bear it!"
"Oh, warrior?" Tumanfu was stunned, then nodded, "I can't complain, but how did you become like this, deposed?"
Tang Le's heart twitched violently, his eyes twitched a few times, and he said, "Someone destroyed the dantian!"
"Shhh......h
Who is so ruthless, even if he breaks the dantian, and sells him here to mine, it is worse than death for the arrogant warrior!
"In this way, if you dig a few more pieces, I will give you a few more meals......" Before Tumanfu could finish speaking, he suddenly saw a group of people walking down the steel ladder, his body trembled, and he quickly stood up and roared: "Assemble!"
Two young men, a man and a woman, were followed by six gold-armored warriors.
The man, the skin is very fair, giving people a cold and handsome feeling, although he is smiling, but the edge of his eyes occasionally reveals a faint coldness, and he can be seen at a glance that he is a ruthless character.
The woman's snake waist and bee buttocks are enchanting and charming, like ripe peaches, which can pinch out the water.
The two were so close that the woman was almost hanging on the man's body.
"It's their ......" The assembled miners turned pale and looked at the two "devils" in horror.
Tang Hai, the person in charge of the lowest layer of ore veins, would come down every once in a while, and women would also come down occasionally, and every time in order to please her, many mine slaves gave up their lives in vain.
The two of them were full of curiosity about the bottomless black abyss in the middle, although they knew that there was no possibility of success at all, but in this smoky ghost place, there was no place to have fun, so they focused on the black abyss.
"Hai Gongzi!" Tumanfu looked at it, hunched over and ran to Tang Hai's side, nodding his head, full of servants.
"Tumanfu, prepare the ropes, pick a few sturdy miners to go down and have a look, this time you must find out the secret, if not, you can go down!"
Tang Hai glanced at Tumanfu obliquely, and swept the girl's right hand over her chest, making the girl's body tremble, and her mouth made a sound of ecstasy.
Tumanfu's face turned pale, he bowed back a few steps, turned around, his smiling face instantly became hideous, pointed at the miner, and roared: "You, you...... Stand up for me!"
The person named trembled and almost fell to the ground.
"Throw them down to me!" Tang Hai looked at it, and his evil spirit was rampant.
How can you be scared like this before you go down?
Several of the overseers pounced on them with a fierce look, dragging them into the bottomless abyss, and the howls grew farther and farther until they disappeared.
The sound of landing didn't come up, I really don't know how deep.
"You, you...... Come out!" Tumanfu ordered a few more miners.
Three of them fell to the ground and were thrown down.
Ten people were singled out, and fourteen were implicated and thrown into the abyss.
Mine slaves are like grass and can be harvested at any time!
"Prepare the ropes, go down!" Tumanfu commanded, and the ropes were tied up and thrown into the abyss.
Unfortunately, Tang Le was singled out.
Originally, Tumanfu didn't want him to go down, there were too few minions who could complete the task, but if he didn't succeed this time, he would probably have to finish the game, so why bother with anything else!
"Wait!" Tang Le took two steps forward and said to Tumanfu, "My lord, I have a request!"
", why the hell do you want to make a request?" Tumanfu almost peed in fright, and slapped him in the face.
Tang Le turned to one side, dodged Tumanfu, looked at Tang Haidao: "This son, I have a way to find out the secret of the black abyss!"
Tang Hai was laughing at the girl in his arms on the recliner, his eyes lit up when he heard this, he waved his hand, and asked Tumanfu to step aside and said, "Then you say, if it is feasible, I can transfer you to a few higher floors!"
It seemed that he had a lot of power, but Tang Le's eyes just flashed, and he said:
"Childe, I used to be a martial artist, and my dantian was ruined, but the strength of my body is still there, this black abyss must be very deep, and the rope is not long enough at all!"
"So, I can go down with the rope on my back, and borrow two more long knives to do my best to find out the secret for my son!"
Tang Hai was very excited when he heard this, waved his hand, and asked a gold-armored warrior to investigate Wang Xiaofan's body, and quickly came to the conclusion:
"Childe, this person's physical strength is very good, it is impossible for an eightfold martial artist to be so powerful!
Tang Hai laughed loudly and said, "Okay, Tumanfu, prepare meat for him, let him eat enough, bring some more, prepare five other ropes for him to carry, and then remove his shackles, let him travel lightly, haha......"
Tumanfu did so, Tang Le ate two catties of beast meat into his stomach, carried the Xuan Rope on his back, hung two golden knives and some animal meat from his waist, and climbed down step by step along the Xuan Rope.
Hei Yuan didn't know how many years it had existed, and he didn't know how many lives it had devoured, and many strong people didn't come up alive when they entered, how could Tang Le succeed?
But if he doesn't go down, he will be thrown in, he must gamble, even if he can't succeed, he must find a way to get out, so he has won everything he can fight for.
The further down he went, the hotter it became, and after a thousand meters, Tang Le was out of breath, feeling that the five ropes on his body weighed a thousand catties, and his palms were all slashed.
Cut out a stone ridge with a golden knife, put the five Xuan ropes and food, climbed up again, broke the Xuan rope that went down and carried it back to the stone ridge and put it away, and borrowed a long knife to climb up more than ten meters, broke the last Xuan rope, and returned with the help of a double knife.
After resting for a while, he dug out a stone ridge in the distance horizontally, and turned things upside down, and then he collapsed in the stone ridge and rested for a while.
The intention was obvious, and he had no intention of going back.
If you don't succeed, you will succeed.
Although I really wanted to escape from the pit, for a year, there was no chance at all.
Thinking that this pit was still captured by him for his family's bloody battle, but in the end he became a mining slave for mining, Tang Le was furious.
Blood Shura Tang Le, the sharp blade of the younger generation of the Tang family, won a hundred battles, was invincible, and made a hundred meritorious contributions to the growth of the family, but was ambushed by the man in black, destroyed the dantian, and was sold to the mine.
Although he had some guesses, how could he have been trapped in the pit for a year, and the Xuan Qi in his body dissipated little by little, and he fell to the eightfold body forging realm, and if he didn't think about it, what was waiting for him would be a catastrophe.
The first few times I wanted to take a risk to enter the black abyss, but I was stopped by Tumanfu, all because he had a high mining success rate, and he was reluctant to lose such an excellent mining slave.
Of course, it's not about Aicai, but for his personal consideration.
If he can't complete the task, he will have to be punished, and there are few decent mine slaves who are not easy to mix!
After recovering his strength, he connected the rope one by one and fixed it, and then threw it down.
Then he tied the golden knife and food to his body, kicked against the stone wall, grabbed the rope, and quickly slid down.
The temperature is getting higher and higher, and the clothes on my body can't withstand the high temperature and fall off one by one, and the hair finally disappears.
When he came across a protruding stone platform, he would sit cross-legged and drive the exercises.
Although the dantian was broken, the exercises were not lost, and the absorbed and refined Xuan Qi could not be stored, and it would dissipate after a long time.
However, the effect is still quite large, as more and more Xuan Qi accumulates in his body, his resistance has gradually increased, and the burning sensation has decreased a lot.
