Chapter 1106: There Is a City Ahead
Not to mention how hard mining is, there is another thing that is difficult to accept, and that is the danger of mining. It is said that not long ago, due to the lack of infrastructure, there was a mine that was forced to dig deeper, causing the entire mine to collapse and bury more than a dozen people alive. The personnel in the mine actually don't know how to open a mine, but they blindly pursue efficiency, so they keep asking people to dig, and it doesn't matter if something happens, dig up the corpse and then continue to find someone to dig it.
After learning something about the mine from others, Zhang Yulong now regrets it in addition to fear. didn't find Lin Xuanzhong and didn't say anything, but he put himself into such a dark place, despair was always shrouded in his heart, if he wasn't too tired from work, Zhang Yulong wouldn't be able to sleep well at all. But no one said to escape, he didn't dare to do it alone, and he was even worried that someone would say that he wanted to escape.
In a situation where he was even more scared than when he walked alone on the border between the two countries before, what Zhang Yulong could do was to learn as much as he could about the situation.
On the fourth day of working in the mine, when the guard in charge of patrolling left, Zhang Yulong found a man who had been in the mine for many days to talk.
"Brother Li, has anyone managed to escape in the past?"
"Of course not, I don't believe you, look at that person," said the man, surnamed Li, and pointed at a man crawling on the ground with broken legs.
"Isn't that person good?" Looking over there, seeing that the man with broken legs could still crawl on the ground and work, Zhang Yulong had some respect for the other party's strength, and at the same time felt pity for that person.
"His leg was broken because he was caught and broken because he ran away before, Yulong, if you don't want to be like him, I advise you not to have any superfluous thoughts, work in it honestly, maybe we will have a chance to get out in the future!"
"Brother Li, what do you mean by opportunity?" After understanding the true intention of the man surnamed Li to let him see the man with the broken leg, Zhang Yulong's eyes lit up and he remembered the words behind the man surnamed Li.
"When all the jade in the mine is mined, they may let us go at that time," Glancing back at the guards who had left just now, the man surnamed Li put down his work and continued: "Or when the war in the vicinity is over, there are troops passing through here, and we can be saved at that time." ”
"How fast will that be?"
"At least two or three months, at most two or three years, the guards are coming back soon, I won't say more," said this, the man surnamed Li didn't turn his head and went busy with the work in his hands, and he didn't mean to deal with Zhang Yulong anymore.
"It's too long," muttered, Zhang Yulong turned around and did his work, because what the man surnamed Li said was much better, and now he finally had hope, and this hope temporarily dispelled Zhang Yulong's idea of escaping.
While working silently, while thinking about what the man surnamed Li had said, Zhang Yulong decided to endure it for a while and then see what to do. Recalling all the hardships he endured all the way from Yuncheng to here, Zhang Yulong felt that he could still bear this kind of tiring work now. In this way, Zhang Yulong continued to do hard labor honestly in the mine, doing the same thing every day.
Every few days, a group of new people would come in, and from time to time someone would die of exhaustion, and the situation in the mine always touched Zhang Yulong's weak will. Half a month later, Zhang Yulong, who had experienced all kinds of torture, had a deep understanding of what Cheng Hu meant by the sinister world. This is a world where the strong are respected, and the weak are destined to live in hardship.
And when Zhang Yulong was arrested and sent to hard labor, Lin Xuanzhong was actually in a place not far from Zhang Yulong. When leaving the Sifang Country, Lin Xuanzhong encountered some trouble, first being stopped by a group of soldiers from the Sifang Country as a gap, and then by a group of soldiers from another country as a gap. In order to get rid of the entanglement between the two parties, it took a lot of time, and then when he inadvertently passed by a village. Seeing that there was no one in the village, Lin Xuanzhong stayed there temporarily and devoted himself to cultivating the Bixing Sword Spectrum given to him by the Chen family.
The higher the grade of the martial arts, the more mysterious and infinite the content inside, no one to guide him, plus the sword that didn't fit at all, at first Lin Xuanzhong only felt that the Chen family's Bixing Sword Spectrum was very difficult to cultivate.
However, after practicing for a few days, Lin Xuanzhong still realized the advantages of high-level martial arts, and the sword moves in the Bi Xing Sword Spectrum were very clever, both the moves and the recruits were very particular, and the attack and defense were orderly, which could allow Wu Xiu to attack better and faster or defend well. I don't want to understand the mysteries of those moves, but at least practice the moves first, and then talk about it later, this is Lin Xuanzhong's preliminary decision.
After so many days in a row, Lin Xuanzhong has already given his sword a name, called "Overlord Sword". Because compared to ordinary swords, the overlord sword is not only wide and heavy, but also powerful, and ordinary martial arts cultivation is not suitable for using this kind of sword that is too domineering.
Even though Lin Xuanzhong had cultivated the bow technique to the fullest and improved the tenacity of his muscles and veins as much as possible, he could only barely use it at present, which was not at all more flexible than when he used an ordinary sword, and even affected his body technique, but no matter how inapplicable the sword was, it could not negate the quality of the sword. In any case, the overlord sword far surpassed all the weapons that Lin Xuanzhong had used before, and the more he used it, the more likable it became.
As for the domineering sword power, after many days of contact, Lin Xuanzhong had gradually gotten used to that feeling. It is worth mentioning that after living in a village where no one has lived for a long time, Lin Xuanzhong, who couldn't help but be curious, opened the secret book given to him by Chen Wenyu. As soon as he finished reading the first page, Lin Xuanzhong closed the book in shame, and then because he felt that he was not angry with Chen Wenyu, he wanted to throw the book away on impulse, but unfortunately considering Chen Wenyu's special explanation, Lin Xuanzhong finally kept the book.
In the following month, when he had nothing to do, Lin Xuanzhong turned a few pages to read, as Chen Wenyu said, this book is indeed a secret book, but this book teaches men and women. After watching it every time, Lin Xuanzhong only felt that there was a force under his abdomen that needed to be vented, and then he had to take some medicine that could calm people's minds, otherwise he would not even be able to practice swordsmanship with peace of mind.
After understanding Chen Wenyu's intention to let him go with Xiangqiao, Lin Xuanzhong also thought that those Qingxin Pills might have been specially prepared for him by Chen Wenyu. After scolding Chen Wenyu several times, Lin Xuanzhong collected the book better, but Lin Xuanzhong didn't expect that the book would bring him a lot of trouble in the near future.
In any case, for more than a month that a person had been in that lifeless village, he had to either go out to hunt and eat meat or get some wild fruits to eat every day, and when Lin Xuanzhong was completely immersed in the cultivation of the Bixing Sword Spectrum, time passed quickly, and before he knew it, a month had passed, and the situation of not perceiving the passage of time made practicing the best way for Lin Xuanzhong to avoid his worries.
More than a month later, Lin Xuanzhong had learned all the moves in the Pixing Sword Spectrum, and his understanding of each move had reached the maximum, because there was no one to guide him, when Lin Xuanzhong felt that his cultivation in swordsmanship could not be improved in a short period of time, Lin Xuanzhong planned to leave and go to the next place.
During the cultivation of the Bixing Sword Spectrum, the Overlord Sword became more and more comfortable to use, and Lin Xuanzhong's profound Yuan Force was just in response to the need to wield the Overlord Sword, but at present, it was not as flexible as using an ordinary sword.
Regarding the use of the sword, Lin Xuanzhong also didn't want to do more training, he just wanted to wait until he was outside to fight and kill people on the spot, because everything in the past reminded Lin Xuanzhong that fighting was the best way to improve his strength. With this mentality, Lin Xuanzhong, who rediscovered himself, hit the road again.
It took a few days to walk, because the horse before was injured, Lin Xuanzhong was now on foot, all the way straight through the small country that was busy with war, and arrived at the border between the small country and Yunze country. The border between the two small countries is located in the mountains and rivers, which is extremely wide, and Lin Xuanzhong walked for a few more days before passing through, relying on hunting fierce beasts to satisfy his hunger along the way. Because there was no seasoning, the meat of the beast was too greasy to eat, and in the end, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't wait to use wild fruits all day long to satisfy his hunger.
When a border city of Yunze Kingdom appeared in sight, Lin Xuanzhong's mood was extremely excited, and he only wanted to eat something good in that city. Although the jade he originally carried on his body had been used up, he could exchange the remaining pills for money, and Lin Xuanzhong was not worried about the cost at all.
On the way to the border city, Lin Xuanzhong didn't encounter many fierce beasts, but he found many traces left by the crossing of fierce beasts. The huge footprints of those fierce beasts, as well as the scene of the surrounding grass and trees being trampled, as well as the hair of various fierce beasts, all indicate that a large number of fierce beasts passed by before Lin Xuanzhong's current path, and they were facing the direction of the border city in front of him.
Considering the whereabouts of those fierce beasts, Lin Xuanzhong, who originally wanted to go to the city to sell some things for some wine and drink, accelerated his pace, especially when he saw smoke floating from the city in front of him, but it would take a while to get there at Lin Xuanzhong's speed for more than ten miles.
A little further, some large and slow-moving fierce beasts appeared in Lin Xuanzhong's sight, and when Lin Xuanzhong caught up, he found that those fierce beasts were walking very slowly because of their old age and decrepitness, but their direction was the city in front of them.
Thinking about it again, only these fierce beasts in front of him couldn't leave so many traces, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly thought that other fierce beasts might have rushed to the city, and the situation in the city must be very critical.
When Lin Xuanzhong thought of this, some fierce beasts in front of him noticed Lin Xuanzhong, and one by one they slowly turned around and opened their big mouths that were about to fall off, and rushed towards Lin Xuanzhong with a low roar, but the speed was not fast, and there was no momentum, but there were so many that Lin Xuanzhong could not be indifferent.
