Chapter Seventy-One: The Beginning of Something Wrong
In the world of dungeons, there is no sunlight, so you can't feel the heat, and if you stay for a long time, you will find that the feeling of cold is everywhere, and even sweating is a luxury.
Therefore, you can't live here without some clothes, and no matter how strong a person is, you can't resist this long-term cold.
'Whew', I let out a long breath and moved the boulder in my hand into the tin cart, if there must be a place in the world of the dungeon where clothes are not too important and it is easy to sweat, it is a place of labor.
At this time, my shirt had already been taken off, and I casually stuffed it into the belt, and the thick linen pants on the lower body were also moistened by sweat.
I wiped the sweat from my head, and Ye Xiao came up to me, handed me a leather bag, and said, "Big brother, drink some water." ”
I took the leather bag handed by Ye Xiao and took a few sips, no matter what, compared to the surface world, the water in the dungeon has a different sweetness, maybe it is not too polluted.
After drinking the water, I handed the leather bag to Nightscream, and without a moment's delay, I pushed the heavy iron cart along the rough road towards the place where the dirt and rocks were dumped down the mountain, and Nightshade hurried to help me.
This was my second day of labor in the dungeon, and here I really experienced what it means to be a hard worker!
But speaking of which, the content of labor here is very simple, if you want to sum it up in two words - excavation, yes, keep digging, expand the scope of the underground world that can be used for habitation, in addition to this excavation, there is a little work, that is, if you find valuable ore, also pick it up by the way.
In general, five to ten people are responsible for excavating an area, and there are no specific requirements, as long as the area can be excavated within the specified time.
If it is not completed within the specified time, but the ore accumulates enough, it can be forgiven, and a certain amount of time is given.
Therefore, any excavated ore is equally important in the eyes of the servants.
This kind of labor is heavy, but it may be to protect the slaves who are now in short supply, and the intensity of labor is still within the range of bearing, except for me and Nightscream.
I don't know about everyone, but as far as the same group of laborers as me are concerned, Nightscream and I have the heaviest labor tasks, not only are we responsible for a large area, but there is no preferential treatment in terms of time, and there are only two people in our group, me and Nightscream.
This was the first day I was assigned a task, and I felt that it was unfair, but the overseer in charge of us only threw us one sentence: "If you are capable, you will naturally do more." If you are not convinced, you can go to the fighting ring. But if you want to escape, you can try. ”
Faced with such an answer, I had no choice but to agree in silence, and Ye Xiao wanted to turn around and leave, applying to go to the fighting ring, but I stopped him.
The reason is very simple, I don't want to go to the fighting arena as a laborer, because after learning about the fighting arena specifically, I realized that if you go to the fighting ring as a free person, you can leave at any time no matter how many fights you have. But servitude, slaves, or quasi-civilians had to fight a full fifty battles before they were eligible to leave the arena.
I don't mind playing the full fifty games, but I don't want to show too much strength.
As for Ye Xiao's strength, he only went to the fighting arena to deliver food, and I estimate that if he doesn't fight five games, the probability of death will reach more than 90%, unless he is particularly lucky.
I just want to earn a sum of money as soon as possible, and then return to the status of a free man and leave, and then go to the fighting arena, where some systems and rewards are what I urgently need, so I am doing the labor assigned by this labor, but at the end of the day, I can only evaluate that this is heavy labor.
I don't know if it's intentional or not, but the place where I and I worked was almost close to the highest place, and this transportation work would also waste a lot of time, and it would take almost an hour to transport this cart of earth and rock from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
Therefore, I chose to stuff as many tin cars as possible before going down the mountain, and the tin cars seemed to be overwhelmed on the road, making 'squeak' and 'squeak' sounds.
Ye Xiao and I were silent, because of the heavy labor, the two of us even wanted to save our strength when we talked, so we walked halfway up the mountain, Ye Xiao finally couldn't help but burst out a little: "Big brother, why do I think many people look at us wrong along the way?" It's not the kind of ridicule, like looking at a fool, it's the kind of incomparably sympathetic look. ”
I've also noticed the problem that Ye Xiao said, in fact, it's not just today, since yesterday when we went to pour the first pile of earth and rock, there has been this situation, it's just that Ye Xiao is a person who can't hold back his words, and I want to observe it again, I don't want to make trouble after only a day or two.
However, now that the night howls have erupted, I also feel deeply strange, and there is no need to endure this matter any longer.
At this time, we passed by the side of the road, and there happened to be a demon who seemed to be a weasel clan leading a group of Terrans to work, he looked at us with no clear meaning in his eyes, but with obvious ridicule on his lips, and even whistled.
Night Howl glared at him, but I put down the cart in my hand, stood up and wiped my sweat, and then walked straight to the yellow demon.
The yellow demon looked at me with a defiant gaze, while the Terrans behind him looked cowering and quickly avoided it.
Of course, the yellow demon has no fear, after all, in this labor area, there is also a certain protection policy for the demon clan, which prohibits the demon clan from fighting each other, but the demon clan is allowed to fight humans. Even if you kill a human by mistake, as long as you spend a certain amount of money, you can avoid punishment. Of course, the amount of this money is necessarily related to the number of slaves in this period.
Thinking of this, a wave of hatred surged in my heart, and I sneered, suddenly speeding up and rushing towards the Yellow Demon.
Looking at my posture, the Yellow Demon's gaze suddenly became defensive, he picked up the shovel in his hand, so that as long as I rushed over, he would not hesitate to give me a shovel, but I didn't dodge or dodge, and even when his shovel fell, he deliberately paused for a moment, so that he could have enough time to smash down towards me.
Otherwise, it's up to him? I'm 100 percent sure I'll kill him before he makes any moves.
The yellow demon thought that he had taken the advantage, with a smug look in his eyes, the shovel hit my arm, he didn't dare to go too far, after all, the fight between the demon clans was expressly forbidden.
I didn't dodge or dodge, my fist directly met the yellow demon's shovel, and with the sound of 'bell', the yellow demon was surprised to see an obvious bulge appear on the shovel, and then he couldn't hold the shovel with both hands anymore, and could only watch it fly towards the rear.
Just one punch is enough to prove his strength, and the yellow demon shouted in panic: "You are a noble citizen!" Then, I wanted to run to the side.
How could I give him this opportunity, as soon as I stretched out my hand, I caught him in front of me, his whole body trembled, his eyes kept rolling, and I threatened: "If you dare to fart, I will dare to beat you to cripple!" You know how miserable it is to be crippled or sick in a labor area. ”
Yes, the yellow demon fart is very annoying, even if it is not a demon weasel, the smell of fart, as long as you smell it once, it will be unforgettable, not to mention that it is still a demon? This is a unique skill of the Yellow Demon Clan, and the smell is integrated into the soul power to cultivate, and the smell becomes more intense, and it can even be compared to poisonous gas, because it is cultivated in the soul power, and if it is hit, it will also have a certain amount of damage to the soul.
I'm not afraid of that, of course, but I definitely don't want to encounter such a disgusting move.
My threat is obviously useful, and the strength of the noble people that appears also has a certain deterrent effect, the yellow demon was stunned for a moment, and quickly smiled flatteringly: "Your lord, how dare I?" ”
At this time, Ye Xiao ran to my side, and naturally he inevitably threatened the Yellow Demon fiercely, and then praised my strength, I didn't have the anger to shut up Ye Xiao, and I didn't give the Yellow Demon too much nonsense, and asked directly: "Let's just say it, what are you laughing at us?" ”
The Yellow Demon didn't expect me to ask like this, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and finally chose not to admit it: "No, Lord Guimin, where do I dare to laugh at you?" I"
I didn't give him a chance to quibble at all, after he opened his mouth, I grabbed his arm, and with a force, I broke his arm, and the yellow demon let out a painful cry: "No, the cruel wolf clan is really the most cruel, and this is absolutely not allowed here." ”
The humans behind him looked at me with even more fear.
"You think I'm going to be scared? Three chances, the second time you quibble, and I'll break all your limbs. As for the third time, I'll break your neck, I'm definitely not kidding. "I'm naturally serious, these demon clans don't care about human lives, and I naturally don't care about their lives.
I don't want to think about the truth of who is right and who is wrong, it's too profound, I don't bother to think about it, I just know that I'm a person.
The Yellow Demon would obviously believe my words, because I looked at him with cold eyes, without a trace of emotion, and I couldn't allow him not to believe it, so after hesitating for a long time again, he endured the pain and said to me in a cold sweat: "Your Excellency, I just said it." But you must not say, I said it. ”
"You're not qualified to be a conditioner." My face became serious, and a sense of fulfillment gradually enveloped me.
