Chapter 130: Scum
After packing himself up and being similar to those people, Chu Jingtian walked out along the passage again. し
To his surprise, those people did not react unusually when they saw him.
Only a gray-haired old man glanced at him and said, "New here, don't run around, the passages in this pit are complicated, if you get lost, no one will save you." ”
"Hmm. Since he didn't know what to say, Chu Jingtian just hummed, and then found a position close to the old man and sat down, listening carefully to the conversation between the people.
"Elder Zhang, how did you get today?" a middle-aged man asked. And the old Zhang in his mouth was the old man who was talking to Chu Jingtian just now.
"Hey...... The rough stones in this tunnel are getting harder and harder to dig, and I only dug up a piece half a fist size today, and I can barely change it to a steamed bun. The old man's words were full of helplessness.
At this time, the other people who were sitting also spoke.
"Yes, it's getting harder and harder to dig, and I haven't been able to eat enough, and if it goes on like this, except for a few newly captured, we old people will all starve to death. ”
"Shall we react to the person delivering the food?"
"Reaction, that's simply looking for death, the people of the second team reacted a few days ago, and as a result, they were all seriously injured, and two people died the next day, so let's hold on, when the Golden Lion Gate takes us to change places, we will be able to eat two full meals. ”
Hearing this, everyone sighed helplessly, and the cave fell silent for a while.
And at this time, Chu Jingtian also heard some doorways.
These people seem to have been captured by a sect called the Golden Lion, and they have to exchange the excavated rough stones for food. It's just that now there are fewer and fewer rough stones, and the food they get is getting less and less, and these people are because they can't eat enough for a long time, so they are all skinny and bones.
Knowing this, Chu Jingtian's brows couldn't help frowning, in this situation, it seemed that it was not easy for him to leave smoothly.
"What's the matter, young man, didn't you find the original stone?" Seeing Chu Jingtian's frowning, Zhang Lao asked. He thought that Chu Jingtian was worried about the food at night because he didn't find the original mine.
Chu Jingtian hesitated for a moment and nodded.
There was a lot of food in his storage ring, and when he first entered the Heavenly Rune Secret Realm, he prepared a lot of food, but he basically didn't touch it after entering. And food doesn't break when it's in a storage ring, so he always carries it.
And the reason why he nodded was because he really didn't have a rough stone, and he didn't even know what the rough stone was talking about.
"Hey, novices are like that. Zhang Lao sighed a little helplessly, and said: "Tomorrow, you come with me, I will take you to find the original stone, now you don't have to worry, I will receive the food in a while, just share half of it." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. Chu Jingtian thanked him, now that the situation was unknown, he didn't dare to expose it, so he decided to take a look at the situation first.
"Okay, it's almost time, let's go hand over the original stone!" Zhang Lao said, standing up from the ground with some difficulty, but he didn't know if he was hungry, his body shook a little.
Seeing this, Chu Jingtian hurriedly went up and grabbed Zhang Lao's arm.
"Hey, I'm old, and I don't know how many days I have left. Zhang Lao sighed helplessly, and gently patted Chu Jingtian's palm holding him.
It was only at the moment when he saw Chu Jingtian's palm that Zhang Lao was slightly stunned, and then returned to normal.
It's just that due to the dim light, even Chu Jingtian, who was standing in front of him, didn't notice anything abnormal.
Zhang Lao glanced at Chu Jingtian, didn't say anything, and then walked towards a passage with a group of more than 20 people.
The passage twisted and turned, but Zhang Lao seemed to remember the way back clearly, and after walking with the group for about half an hour, they stopped in a huge cave.
It is a circular cave with a diameter of more than 100 meters and a height of almost 10 meters. On the walls of the cave around it, there are many passages leading to all directions.
At this time, in those passages, people also kept coming out.
A moment later, everyone entered the cave. Chu Jingtian roughly estimated that the number of people in this cave had exceeded a hundred. And the image of those people is similar to Zhang Lao's people, it seems that they are all miners who have been arrested.
Chu Jingtian also noticed that after these people entered the cave, they all looked at a square hole on the top of the cave with an extremely expectant and longing gaze.
Without a trace, he took a few steps closer to the entrance of the cave, and then looked up like everyone else, and then he realized that the entrance of the cave was actually a vertical passage leading to the top.
It's just that the top of this passage seems to be blocked, and looking at the darkness, he can't see how high this passage is.
"It's the only shaft that leads outside the pit, and it's 300 meters high. Zhang Lao didn't know when he walked to Chu Jingtian's side and said softly, as if he knew that Chu Jingtian didn't know this.
Glancing at Old Zhang, Chu Jingtian also knew that this old man must have discovered his abnormality, but for the sake of prudence, he didn't speak again.
Although the old man was kind to him, he didn't dare to trust anyone until he figured out the situation, otherwise the old man might have sold him for food.
Zhang Lao saw that Chu Jingtian didn't speak, and he didn't say anything again.
Just as Chu Jingtian was about to leave, in the courtyard, there was a sudden sound of "creaking" machine turning.
And with this voice sounded, there was also the sound of everyone swallowing saliva in unison, and the sound was so neat, as if it had been practiced.
Immediately afterward, the crowd became agitated, and then they lined up at an unbelievable speed, as if waiting for something.
This sudden scene made De Chu stunned directly there, and when he came back to his senses, everyone had already lined up, so he hurriedly walked over and lined up at the end of the line.
In the team, Zhang Lao, who saw this scene, was stunned again, and after a little hesitation, he walked over and stood with Chu Jingtian.
This scene made Chu Jingtian even more sure that this old man must have discovered something.
Because he could see that when queuing, everyone was scrambling to go to the front, and this old man actually gave up his position in the front and then stood with him at the end, which was very unreasonable.
However, after this old man came over, he stood so quietly, he didn't say anything.
"Crunch, squeak!"
The voice grew closer, and as it became clearer, a rudimentary wooden elevator slowly landed on the ground.
There were two people standing in the elevator, and at their feet were two baskets woven of wooden strips, which were full of steamed buns.
The two baskets were very dirty, and some of the white steamed buns had turned black, but Rao was so, and when he saw those steamed buns, Chu Jingtian heard the sound of swallowing saliva again.
"Come on, come on, hurry up, hand over the rough stone. In the elevator, a young man in green clothes, about 20 years old, shouted impatiently.
On the chest of his clothes, a lion pattern is embroidered with gold wire, which should be the person of the Golden Lion Gate.
The man in Tsing Yi's voice fell, and the person at the front of the line immediately ran over and handed the man a white stone the size of a walnut in his hand.
Seeing the stone, the man in Tsing Yi frowned dissatisfiedly, and said, "Less than half a fist, half a steamed bun." ”
Hearing this, another black-clothed Golden Lion disciple on the elevator took out a steamed bun from the basket, broke it in half, and threw it out.
The snow-white steamed bun fell to the ground, immediately contaminated with dust, and looked black, but the person who handed over the spirit stone, as if he didn't see it, quickly picked up the steamed bun, and left as if holding a treasure.
And when they saw this scene, the two people on the elevator showed extremely proud smiles, as if they were happy with it.
"Damn it!"
Chu's shocking eyes erupted with fire, and his teeth clenched fiercely.
The black-clothed disciple was obviously able to put the steamed bun in the hands of the person who handed over the original stone, but he deliberately threw it on the ground, which was clearly a deliberate insult.
"It's better to die than to live, here, if you want to live, you have to learn to endure. Zhang Laoruo's profound words sounded in Chu Jingtian's ears.
Hearing this, Chu Jingtian took a deep breath and calmed down.
Next, Chu Jingtian saw the scenes that made him extremely angry again and again.
A man who handed over the original stone was punched and kicked because he accidentally touched the hand of the man in Tsing Yi who collected the original stone, and was seriously injured.
Another man, because he received too few steamed buns, just begged, and he was also seriously injured.
......
Scenes like this kept happening, scene by scene, making Chu Jingtian want to break the two bodies into pieces, but the anger in his heart was ignited again and again, but he was suppressed again and again.
Now, it's not the time to act rashly, Zhang Lao said that this patio is the only way to leave, and once the Golden Lion Gate finds out that there is a problem here and seals the patio, he may never be able to get out.
So, in order to get out, he had to endure.
Soon, the people in front of him left after handing over the original stone, and Chu shook his steps and walked to the elevator.
"What about your original stone, take it out quickly, and use Lao Tzu to teach you?" The eyes of the man in Tsing Yi flashed with a fierce light.
"I, I didn't find the rough today. Chu Jingtian pretended to be a little panicked and said.
"Damn, I didn't find the original stone and dared to come to ask for food, let's look for death!" The man in Tsing Yi shouted angrily, raised his hand and slapped it on Chu Jingtian's head.
Judging from the experience of several people before, if this slap was real, Chu Jingtian's face would have to be broken.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Chu Jingtian was just about to fight back, but there was a strong force behind him, pushing him forward violently.
It was also this moment that made him dodge the slap, and then Zhang Lao's somewhat anxious voice sounded, "Forgive me, two masters, he is new here, he doesn't understand the rules, this is my rough stone today, and I don't want my steamed buns, let him go!"
"Damn, you're in luck. The man in Tsing Yi scolded, grabbed the spirit stone in Zhang Lao's hand, and then the elevator began to rise slowly.
Looking at the two slowly rising figures, a cold killing intent flashed in Chu Jingtian's eyes.
Whether he can get out of this pit or not, these two scumbags are dead
