Chapter 140: The Mine
Wei Yang gritted his teeth and tore off the tattered shirt on his body, revealing a body of fierce muscles.
The wound on his back was severe, as could be seen from the dripping blood under his feet, but he acted as if he had just been beaten with thirty lashes.
Baroness Lester's tall and delicate carriage stopped when she was about twenty paces away from Wei Yang.
A tall and handsome young man dressed in the uniform of the guard of the Lester family walked to the side of the carriage, bowed his head slightly, raised the sword in his hand with his left hand, put his right hand on his left chest, bowed his upper body halfway, and slightly bent his left leg, and saluted the Baroness Lester solemnly and respectfully.
Although he bowed his head during the salute, the eagerness and admiration on his face could be seen by anyone who was not blind.
The delicate curtain of the carriage, embroidered with the coat of arms of the Reist family, was lifted from a corner, and a slender, slender, white hand slowly stretched out from the corner, and lifted it casually to the handsome young man who was saluting, and motioned for him to stand up.
The young man whispered to Baroness Rester about all the great and minor events he had seen and heard with his own eyes.
The baroness opened the curtain curiously and glanced at Wei Yang, who was standing proudly, her gaze first swept over Wei Yang's face, and then slowly swept over Wei Yang's upper body, the tight knotted muscles, and then, saw Wei Yang's cold face.
On her beautifully groomed face, the original excitement suddenly disappeared.
Suddenly, she became disinterested, as if she had seen something dirty that made her unhappy, and even her voice suddenly became indifferent: "An ant, since he wants to find death, then fulfill him!" Let him go to the quarry! It just so happens that there is a shortage of people in the quarry these days, so let him enjoy what life is better than death! ”
After saying these words, Baroness Lester lowered the delicate curtains on the carriage window with a cold face, and the carriage moved slowly.
She also had to go to see the new gadgets brought back by the maritime merchants, how could there be so much effort wasted on an ant.
Wei Yang clearly heard the words of Baroness Lester, however, hearing that something was dangerous and deeply understanding how dangerous it was were were two completely different things, and Wei Yang had no concept of quarrying at all.
And his cousin Weito, who had been by his side and was worried about him, changed his face drastically when he heard the words quarry.
Wei Yang noticed that something was wrong with Wei Tuo, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What's wrong with you!" ”
Weto's face was miserable, "Quarrying...... The most dangerous of all! Ordinary slaves are often consumed half of them after a year, and the remaining half are also covered in injuries and diseases, and they have almost half a life. And the slaves who go to quarry, and after a year, they can have one-tenth of the normal people left, which is the gift of the goddess Krama! ”
Goddess Krama is a goddess of the indigenous faith on the planet Qingyang, and it is said that she is able to control the life and death of human beings.
Hearing Wei Tuo say this, Wei Yang realized the danger of quarrying.
The big man who saluted respectfully to Baroness Lester but was ignored had already recovered from the blow of being ignored at this time, and showed a fierce and vicious appearance to Wei Yang and the others, and his smile was terrifying:
"Hehe, since Baroness Lester looks up to you and lets you go quarrying, this is your creation! Slaves who go to quarry, as long as they can work for five years without dying, you can redeem yourself with Beirut coins! ”
Wei Tuo quietly gritted his teeth in Wei Yang's ear: "Phew! Five years! If you can survive five months, it's a big fate! ”
However, no matter how indignant the group of slaves were, they had already been decidedly decided by Baroness Leist's careless words.
"Mole Ant" Wei Yang's face did not move, but he was deeply shocked in his heart.
The crowd was silent, like meek lambs, driven and whipped and dragged on a long journey to their destined death.
There was no hope in their eyes, and they bowed their heads in silence.
Wei Yang, who was mixed in the crowd and walked forward slowly, was perhaps the only exception, and they walked for almost five days on this long road.
After arriving at the mine, everyone was exhausted, except Wei Yang, who still had the spirit to observe the surrounding environment.
On earth and elsewhere, Wei Yang has never seen a mountain like this, red as fire, not so much a mountain, but a fire coral with no edge in sight.
From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, it is basically straight up and down, slashing and axe, and there is nothing to be borrowed, and it seems that it will be difficult for you to escape from this place even in the future.
The big man who led the team blew a curved horn, with a somewhat desolate and distant whining sound, which instantly echoed in everyone's ears, and before the horn sound ended, Wei Yang was stunned to see that on the steep rock wall that went straight up and down, close to the ground, a huge square rock protruded, and as the rock moved, the cliff continued to make a rumbling sound.
Wei Yang visually inspected it, this "stone gate" is almost five meters high, nearly three meters wide, and the thickness is at least more than one meter, almost 100 tons.
However, behind the stone door, two big men wearing short uniforms came out, and this stone door was actually pushed open by their bare hands.
Everyone was startled, and there was a low buzz in the crowd, and they were talking about the divine power of the two big men.
Wei Tuo whispered in Wei Yang's ear: "These two guys, I'm afraid they have already cultivated and have reached the stage of refining their muscles. The martial arts of this world, Wei Yang became interested, and was about to inquire with Wei Tuo in detail, when he was kicked by the leader.
There were two great men with the amazing strength of the deterrent, and the machetes that led the escort to supervise, this team of two or three hundred slaves, like little sheep, obediently walked into the mountain wall, and entered today, I don't know how many people will come out in the future.
The mountain wall is open and vast, and some torches are hung on the inner wall that are not extinguished all year round, and the warm yellow light illuminates the boundless darkness. Wei Yang couldn't help but be a little amazed, was the hollow in the belly of this mountain out of the magic of nature, or was it hollowed out by the hard work of this slave?
The road within the mountain wall is a narrow, hanging path in the air, the path is almost five meters wide, the red stone path looks eerie, and some blood residue appears in front of you from time to time.
The group walked tremblingly, and even the big men who were escorted with machetes on their backs were all solemn.
Wei Yang was slowly adjusting his body with the breathing method of Neijiaquan all the way, although the whiplash on his back was quite painful, and the wounds were criss-crossed, hideous and terrifying, but it was just a flesh wound.
After running the internal qi once, he felt a faint warm current, which followed the meridians in his body, flowed through the whole body, and then slowly merged into the dantian.
It's like a drop of water that gently falls into the ocean, and if you don't pay attention to it, you can hardly feel its existence.
However, it is a real progress, although it is insignificant.
Wei Yang almost couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart, he crossed over to Qingyang Xing, Wei Yang's body, and his body didn't follow, and the skills he had originally practiced were naturally gone.
Thankfully, all the luck formulas, breathing patterns, and various perceptions are still vivid.
Wei Yang continued to operate the internal qi heart technique, silently adjusting the rhythm of breathing, and silently improving the sensitivity of his five senses and muscles, which was basically equivalent to practicing while walking.
After walking along this trail for a long time, there are narrow, low, and cramped mine caves that stretch and connect with each other. The mines are densely packed inside the mine, making people feel dizzy at first sight.
Inside the mine, there is the kind of ore that needs to be excavated for "quarrying", and the ore grows on the rock wall, and the whole body exudes a green and faint fluorescence, and the shape is somewhat similar to the crystal, which is a columnar hexahedron.
It's just that they are all associated with the masalt, and the rock wall must be dug up and the masalt smashed in order to dig out the green ore intact.
The rock that accompanies this ore is very hard, and this ore is very fragile.
It takes not only strength but also undivided concentration and meticulous manipulation to smash open the rock that accompanies it, leaving it intact, and the pit is full of minorrymen with hammers and pickaxes.
Wei Yang looked at their thin but strong bodies, curved backs, pale faces, especially those scalps with almost lost hair, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but feel a shock, and his face turned bitter.
That ore, if it's really the kind of thing he thought of, I'm afraid that even if he really practiced the inner boxing, he wouldn't be able to survive the day when he got out of this ghost place!
However, reality did not give Wei Yang a chance to continue to be in a daze.
The big man who led the team struck Wei Yang on the back with a knife, causing his wound to burst again, and then kicked him in the ass again, kicking him into a mine.
Wei Yang flew to the mine almost on his stomach.
In the mine, a slave who was almost curled up in a ball, dressed in tattered clothes, and barely visible in human form, was hit by Wei Yang on the head.
He struggled to get up from a pile of ore, and in a slow and trembling voice, he instructed Wei Yang a few words, handed Wei Yang the handle of the wheelbarrow, and told him to push the cart full of ore to the square at the end of the mine to collect the ore.
Then he pulled another empty wheelbarrow and stacked pieces of beautiful ore with a glowing green light on it with his bare hands.
Although his movements were slow, he could see his strong perseverance.
Wei Yang's mouth was bitter for a while, and he became more and more convinced that this green ore was the kind of thing he thought of! Uranium ore!
