Chapter 42: Acceptance
The five hundred slaves of the burrowing rabbit department were stunned and looked at everything in disbelief.
The seemingly unbreakable cage that imprisoned them just now has fallen apart in an instant.
If they are still in it at this time, just this time, I am afraid that not many of the hundreds of people on the scene will survive.
Look at the punishment heaven who threw such a domineering throw, the two-meter-high fierce body, the face was not red, the breath was not panting, and he stood proudly like a god.
After this furious blow, this group of slaves of the burrowing rabbit department realized how powerful and fierce the characters standing in front of them at this time were, and how could they be allowed to mess around in front of such a strong person.
Hundreds of people knelt down in unison, throwing themselves to the ground, their bodies trembling, and said in unison: "I am willing to listen to the master's orders." ”
"Hahaha, that's great. Xingtian proudly walked into the slaves, and said loudly: "I make it clear to you that I am not a merciless person, I know that you live a miserable life, and you are not afraid to increase your labor, as long as you are willing to be obedient and can do what I ask, it will be easy to get out of slavery in the future and become my servants and people." Be my subordinate, merit will be rewarded, and if you have a mistake, you will be punished, and I will be a master, and I will definitely be fair, fair, or TMD fair!"
"The Lord is wise!"
Xing Tian slowed down and continued: "But if you have become my slave, you must abide by my rules, and if you defect to me, you can no longer betray me! Now, I have something to ask you...... One of you once stole a dagger from my hand, a relic left by a father to his son, his hope, and his desire for his son to grow up to be like him, or even better than him. That man is among you...... Tell me, who is that person?"
Ji Su, Mu Qian and others carried spears in their hands, stepped forward, their eyes showed murderous aura, and swept over the prostrate people on the ground one by one.
But although the group of burrowing rabbits trembled with fright, none of them spoke.
Xing Tian couldn't help nodding secretly, after all, these people would not easily betray their own people, so righteous anger can be regarded as some advantages.
However, he didn't let it go, but pretended to be angry, and shouted: "What? don't say it?haha, okay, what a backbone!" raised his head and winked at Yili, and snorted coldly: "You guys listen clearly, after ten breaths, if no one answers, ten people will be executed at will, and then they will be given ten breaths, and if no one has said yet, ten more will be killed...... Until you kill them all!"
Yes!?
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, and when they looked up, the wind sounded, and several cave rabbit tribesmen who looked up in surprise were firmly nailed to a short spear, and Yili's cold voice sounded: "Don't act rashly, otherwise even if the time is not up, I can kill people......"
Yili had previously performed a spear-throwing stunt, the cave rabbit people were born with a sensitive body, jumping more than two meters high, extremely fast, and the three most agile guys at that time scattered and fled, but it was only a breath away, and they were firmly nailed to the ground or on the fence by Yili's spear, and they failed to escape a bit.
The rest of the clansmen clearly knew that what Yili said was not a lie, and they didn't dare to move.
The corners of Xingtian's mouth curved slightly, and then shouted in a deep voice: "Start now, timer!"
The people of the Cave Rabbit tribe were even more frightened and soft to the ground......
"That's enough, no more timers!"
Xingtian and the others raised their eyebrows, turned their heads to look, and saw a figure in the crowd shouting, bouncing to the ground, flexible as a cunning rabbit volleying three somersaults, rising more than three meters into the air, and finally landing firmly in front of Xingtian.
He is a thin boy with a horse face, between the ages of sixteen and seventeen, and a height of about 1.7 meters, but he has long hands and long feet, giving people a sense of agility. The most particular is a pair of eyes, flexible and shrewd, showing the endowment of cunning and wisdom.
At this time, the thin boy looked sad and angry, took out a dagger from his arms, threw it directly at his feet, and said loudly: "The dagger was stolen by me, that person is domineering, but teach him a lesson." It's all my idea, and it has nothing to do with my people......"
"Bold! Dare to talk to my family like this!" Ji Su was already angry when he was teased, and when he saw that a rabbit from the other party dared to talk to Xingtian like this, he was even more angry, and he stepped forward to do it!
"Alas, all right. Xing Tianyi waved his hand, dismissed Ji Su, slowly lowered his head, picked up the dagger from the ground, weighed it, and said: "My people, arrogant, I will be strict and disciplined, and I will not work for others." Xing Tian looked at the other party's shining eyes, and said slowly: "The little brother is not only to teach my rebellious subordinates a lesson, is it also a warning, don't do too much?"
The thin young man's face stiffened, then reddened.
He did have this idea, but he didn't expect to be used by the other party to use despicable means to coerce himself with the safety of his clansmen and force himself to stand up, which is really hateful.
"There are very few people in the burrowing rabbit department who are as agile as you, and you are quite bold. Get your name in!"
The thin young man sighed helplessly and said, "In the thirty-eighth part of the cunning rabbit, I tiptoeed into the air." ”
Xingtian nodded, he didn't have any concept of this name, but Yili, who often inquired about external news, moved his eyebrows, stepped forward and explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if you don't report the wrong name, then he is the most famous thief of the younger generation of the Cave Rabbit Department, he is very famous in the entire Beizhou, and he has always been a thief, and his pen is very large, and such a character will never be captured as a slave." ”
Although Yili's voice was small, but his ears were sensitive, he heard it sincerely, and said with a smile: "This brother, I can't hide it, this time I sneaked into the Tubi Division, in addition to rescuing this suffering compatriot, I also heard that the Tubi Department found a huge copper mine - a high-purity copper mine at the edge of the Black Kui Forest, so I planned to make a sum of money from him and get some money to spend, but I didn't expect it to fall into your hands in the end, alas......"
High-purity copper ore?
Everyone was amazed when they heard this, and at the same time a feeling of ecstasy hit their hearts.
Copper mines mean great wealth.
In the monetary system of the Savage Continent, the lowest level is copper coins, then silver coins and gold coins, and above that, there are bronze coins issued by the Witch Temple.
Copper coins are the basis of money, but also an indispensable part of living materials, because bronze is the only metal carrier attached to the soul power, so the best weapons of the barbarians are made of copper mixed with other metals smelted by heterogeneous bronze.
The Wild Continent is rich in wild beasts, but all kinds of minerals are extremely scarce, so the discovery of a copper mine means a huge fortune.
This wealth is enough to sustain the rise and fall of a tribe.
It is no wonder that the Tubi Tribe, as a branch tribe of the Pig Tribe, can stay in this wasteland so willingly, it turns out that it is because of this high-purity copper mine.
"Where is the copper mine?"
"A hundred miles north of this place, there is a secret passage in the black forest, which leads to the copper mine ......"
"Does the Pig Ministry know about this?"
"I don't know. The only people who knew about this were the patriarch of the Tubi tribe and their barbarian witch elders. They want to rely on these copper mines, slowly accumulate their own strength, and in the future, seize the dominance of the Pig Tribe, the Tubi Patriarch will become the Tubi King, and the Barbarian Witch Great Elder will become the Great Witch Sacrifice. ”
"How do you know?"
"I'm here to get rich, and of course I want to eavesdrop on their conversations." That's what I overheard. ”
Yili is really right, the cell here can't hold this excellent thief at all.
Xingtian was silent.
This huge copper mine is undoubtedly the key to the revival of the Lying Cattle Department, but it is also a hard bone to gnaw, and if it is not handled properly, I am afraid it will bring disaster to the tribe.
The Tubi tribe has existed here for decades, and although it has hidden its suzerain's clan, the pig tribe, it is also trembling and walking on thin ice. And this time, after learning about the copper mine, not only can I not hide it from the people in the clan, but I am afraid that I can't even hide it from Fengcang!
Such a large piece of fat, by no means can be swallowed by the Lying Cattle Department today, rather than turning the face with the Wind Horse Department, it is better to find a wind warehouse to cooperate, joint development, equal distribution of risks and profits, for the Sleeping Cattle Department to win the backer at the same time, but also get the opportunity for development.
Xing Tian had already made up his mind, and when he looked up, he happened to see the expression of wanting to speak and stopping, so he said happily: "Thank you Brother Kuikong for telling me the details, I will be rewarded for this great achievement." And rest assured, I will not kill your people, with or without the copper mines. ”
He nodded and said, "What else can I do but believe in you." Well, my life is in your hands, kill or chop, listen to it!"
Xingtian looked around, exchanged glances with Yili, Ji Su and others, and laughed in unison.
It's inexplicable, and I don't know why.
Yili rarely laughed out loud and said, "I misunderstood, what my lord did, but joked, he would never take your life." ”
Ji Su said: "My lord likes talented people the most, not only will he not kill you, but he will also reuse you!"
Jumping on the spot, he looked at Xingtian blankly, and said blankly: "This is ...... Really?"
Xing Tian stepped forward and patted the empty shoulder, and said, "Seriously, seriously." If not, how can I find you among the people? and I will find that you are so righteous that my heart is very fond of you. Little brother, instead of wandering the world and living a life of wandering, it is better to return to my command, and give full play to your talent to ensure your wealth and glory in the future, how about it?"
Tiptoeing into the sky is like a dream, how can anyone in the world value their "talent"?
"I'm afraid that adults are looking up to the sky, where does the talent come from, it's just the ability to know how to chirp chickens and dogs, and apply oil to the soles of ...... feet."
"Hahaha, brother is too humble. Xing Tian looked at the other party's eyes and said solemnly: "Brother is very deaf, bold and careful, and he is agile, extremely fast, and good at concealing approach...... Usually no one cares about it, it's because the layman doesn't understand the talent of his brother. But did you know that when these two armies are fighting, they anticipate the enemy's planes, spy on military intelligence, obtain intelligence, and even assassinate the enemy's commander...... What an important means of this, and I'm relieved to have a wizard like the Empty Brother by my side......."
