Chapter 1: Slave of the Abyss
"Abyss" is another name for the world underneath. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are a lot of humans living here, but their lives are markedly different from those on the ground.
The "abyss" has a clear hierarchy:
The royal family, the ruler of the "abyss", within this "abyss", holds the power of life and death, and can dispose of the lives of non-royal families at will.
The earl, second only to the "abyss" of the royal family, also has the power of life and death for slaves, but in front of the royal family, they are inferior, but in this "abyss", the number of royal families is only a handful.
The nobles, although they have no right to disobey the orders of the royal family and the earl, still have the right to dispose of their own slaves, but they have no right to interfere with other people's slaves.
Slaves, the lowest level of the whole "abyss" constitution, are exactly like this, they are oppressed, not only do they have to pay a lot of physical labor every day, but their nicknames are in the hands of the big people, they want to take their lives without waste.
At this time, Xun Dan and John belonged to slaves, and they were the lowest slaves.
Among these slaves, they were also divided into three, six, nine and so on, but fortunately, the female slaves who were "saved" before John took good care of them, so that they would not suffer some unwarranted disasters.
"Get up and eat quickly, or you'll be hungry and working."
The slave woman, named Rayla, was the head of the small tribe.
Because she had previous experience in managing the tribe, the successful establishment of this tribe had a lot to do with her.
Her previous village was sentenced to death by the nobles due to the lack of supplies to be handed in, and the slaves of the entire village became death row prisoners and sent to the slaughterhouse on the ground.
However, Rayla was "lucky" to meet her benefactor, John.
Xun Dan can feel that Rayla's admiration for John is very pure, not like the intention of urban people, but simply liking.
But John wasn't interested in Rayla, and in his opinion, it was just a beautiful encounter.
Xun Dan and John reluctantly got up from the bed and walked out of the house.
The so-called bed is just a small mat made of hay, and for a small tribe like Xun Dan and them, it is already good to have a place to live.
There were only about 20 people in the whole village, and when the village was about to perish, Rayla saved the life of the village chief here, so the three of them came to defect, and the village chief directly accepted the three of them.
The village mainly lived by collecting ores, and young people like Xun Dan John took on the responsibility of supporting the village.
The reason why this village has fallen to this point is because the strong men in the village have suffered heavy casualties, otherwise, they would not have been hovering on the verge of life and death.
"You two be careful when you mine! If you listen to me, you really should go with Jesse and the others, it will be safer. ”
Jesse is the captain of their village's mining team, although he is only thirty years old, he is very experienced in mining, and has a wealth of experience in dealing with all kinds of exotic beasts.
At the beginning, Xun Dan and the others also followed them, but after a few times, the two decided to go it alone.
With the skills of the two of them, it is not difficult to survive here, but in order to hide their identities, they still pretend to be normal slaves.
"As always, the two of us will go our separate ways, and the badge will be in touch when the time comes."
"Oh!"
The reason why the two dared to act separately was the "Eternal Terminator" badge.
This badge is able to communicate normally even underground, not only the two of them can communicate, but even Lucy on it can have a normal conversation with them.
Xun Dan also had deep doubts about this invention.
In such a complex underground, even walkie-talkies are not able to communicate over long distances, let alone satellites outside celestial bodies.
Since it is not the radio frequency carrier signal of the walkie-talkie, nor is it a satellite signal, the working principle of this "Eternal Terminator" badge makes Xun Dan puzzled.
The advantage of going it alone is that they can double their scouting power, allowing them to explore more areas in a limited amount of time.
I don't know how many generations have excavated the world underneath, but in addition to the areas they have lived in for a long time, collapses have happened from time to time.
Shortly after they parted, John's voice came from inside the badge.
"Xiao Danzi, the direction I walked before is about five hundred meters deep, I need support, if nothing happens, I will have meat to eat tonight."
Xun Dan hurriedly put away the shovel in his hand, and wanted to rush back on the way back, with John's guidance, Xun Dan quickly found John.
In front of John, on the other hand, was entrenched a poisonous snake several meters long.
The serpent was the size of a bowl and spit out a long core, as if it could pounce at any moment.
"Snake meat, little Danzi, haven't you opened meat for a long time?"
"Of course, it's a miracle that I didn't starve to death with you, I didn't expect you to be able to have this **** luck, and you can also dig up a giant python in mining, this thing should be enough for us to eat."
Just as John's words fell, the viper suddenly attacked, and his whole head flew directly in front of John.
However, John is the elite of the FBI in the United States after all, and this level of crisis can still be easily resolved.
His head shrank back as he fell to the left, the head of the snake sliding against his shoulder.
John directly lifted the shovel in his hand and slashed it at the viper's abdomen.
It's more than a meter long, and it looks shocking.
Seeing this, Xun Dan rushed forward, dropped with a shovel in his hand, and cut off the head of the poisonous snake.
But what I didn't expect was that as soon as the snake's head hit the ground, it bounced directly to the ground, you know, there was nothing below the snake's head.
The snake's eyes showed two cold glints, it seemed that there was too much dissatisfaction with the death at this time, for the situation at this time, Xun Dan could only act angrily, otherwise, their casualties would be inevitable.
As soon as the snake's head flew in front of John's body, John struck him with a backhand, hitting the severed head of the viper.
"Phew!" With a crisp sound, the snake's head finally rolled to the ground and stopped struggling.
"You ruined kid, you actually cut off the snake's head directly!"
"Did you know that this is a poisonous snake, and we should bring a bowl over and let it bite around the bowl, so that it will spew strong venom from behind its two small tiger teeth."
"These poisons are priceless to practitioners and biologists, and even if we bring them to the ground in the future, they will be considered to be the bottom of the box."
