After distributing the mining tools, Ma Jun also ordered people to take a few thumb-sized pieces of ore and distribute them, one for each person as a sample.

"What has been sent to you is the ore of the cold iron ore, and each of you must dig at least a hundred pieces of ore the size of a fist every day in order to get enough food for a day. Of course, if you're lucky enough to dig up this particular ore, you'll be able to get something else besides food, such as wine. Ma Jun said as he took out a thumb-sized piece of ore from his sleeve.

The ore is also reddish-brown in color, but it is mixed with dots of silvery white, as if many white sesame seeds are scattered in the red mud, which is very special.

Although Ma Jun didn't say what kind of ore this was, Qin Tian recognized it at a glance, this was the original culprit that attracted many cottage alliances, dark iron ore.

After explaining everything that should be explained, Ma Jun left the cave with his people, leaving only Qin Tian and the other five prisoners in the cave. Facing the mine in all directions in front of them, the five prisoners hesitated for a moment, and then each chose a different mine hole to drill into.

Qin Tian and the four of them were not too anxious, they first took a serious look at the mine where they were now.

They should be located in a specially carved place for the exchange and transportation of ores, or they could simply call it a trading floor. This space is very huge, and it must have cost a lot of manpower and material resources to open up such a large space underground, so it can be seen that the importance of the site here must not be low, but I don't know if this is the only trading place in the cave.

The underground mine is very dark, although there are more than a dozen oil lamps lit on the surrounding cave walls, but the visibility is only a dozen meters at most, and it is pitch black in the distance. In the thick darkness of the mines, the caves were like monsters with their mouths wide open, ready to devour anything they wanted to get close to.

"Qin Tian, what should we do next?" Li Ze was the first to ask.

Under the light of the flickering lights, Qin Tian's face seemed to be changing uncertainly, and he was silent for a while before he spoke, "We must escape from here!"

"How to escape?" asked Liu Hai directly.

"It's so heavily guarded, there are so many masters, and we're all shackled, how can we escape?" Li Ze asked with a depressed expression as he moved his hands and feet that were chained with iron chains.

Although this set of special shackles will not prevent the locked person from using tools to do some simple work, if you want to escape or fight with people, there will be many inconveniences that people can't use it.

Although the fat man Yan Qiu was just despised by everyone for the characteristics of a crow's mouth, he still had more ideas, and his little eyes turned to think of something, so he said: "It's not impossible to say that you want to escape, but you have to wait for the opportunity!"

"What chance?" asked Li Ze and Liu Hai almost at the same time.

The fat man was sold at this time, and he smiled and said, "I think it's up to Qin Tian to tell you!"

Li Ze and Liu Hai both turned their heads and cast an inquiring look at Qin Tian at the same time, Qin Tian didn't like to sell guanzi like fat people, he said directly: "The opportunity for the bandits to break through the mine!"

"That's right! If the bandits can really break through the mine, then the mine will definitely be in chaos, and the guards will not have time to fight with the bandits, where can they take care of us! This is the best time for us to escape!" Li Ze immediately realized when he heard this, and he slapped his big foot so happily that he almost jumped up.

Liu Hai finally put his mind at ease, even if they knew that the bandits would definitely attack here, so as long as they prepared in advance, there was still a great possibility of escaping.

The fat man laughed proudly, he touched his chin and said with a scheming expression: "When I sold those copycat bandits to that Cai Zhen before, I deliberately omitted this most important news, just to prevent them, and now I really use it!

Li Ze also smiled happily when he heard it: "It's still you a lewd dead fat man." Hehe, if those copycat bandits knew that they had been sold by you, they would be depressed to death!"

"Okay, don't be too complacent! This time, we cut such a big heel, we should first wake up!" Qin Tian said with a serious face.

Speaking of which, the fat man Yan Qiu couldn't laugh anymore. He thought seriously for a while before he slowly spoke: "Qin Tian is right! We are really careless this time, and we always think that the government will definitely be good and will act in accordance with the law and discipline. But he completely ignored that this is the Tianyun Continent, which is a continent different from our earth. Many things are unknown to us here, and any gullible behavior can bring unexpected and terrible consequences. Therefore, I think that we must be careful in everything we do in the future, and we must not trust anyone or anything easily. ”

"The fat man is right! This time we cut so badly, we almost lost our lives! If we can save our lives this time, we may not be so lucky next time. So I think that unless everything is under our control, none of us can trust it!" Li Ze was also apprehensive, he didn't want to encounter a similar situation again!

"One time is enough!" Liu Hai nodded in agreement.

"That's what I mean, once is enough! In the future, unless everything is under our control, everything must be careful, and we must not be gullible to others!" Qin Tian made a final summary of the painful lesson this time.

"Let's discuss it again, how should the next preparations be carried out, right?" Qin Tian threw out another question.

The fat man preemptively said: "Of course it's digging treasures! We have such a good opportunity to dig treasures to our heart's content, how can we let it go so easily! Dark iron ore, I'm here! Whahahaha!"

The first thing is, of course, to find a way to remove the shackles on his hands and feet, otherwise how can he mine well if he is locked, and how can he escape easily?

"Both have to be solved!" bangs support both sides!

Qin Tian showed a thoughtful look, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he spoke: "Of course, the shackles must be removed, and the mines must also be dug, otherwise we won't come here for nothing." I think let's think we'll find a way to solve it slowly, and we'll solve it first if it's easy to solve!"

"Qin Tian, do you already have some eyebrows?" The fat man saw that Qin Tian seemed to have an idea, so he hurriedly asked.

"The idea of getting rid of the shackles is a little bit, but it's not feasible, you have to really try it to know!"

"What's the solution?" the fat man continued to ask, and Li Ze and Liu Hai also listened attentively.

"Master Niu Kui once taught me a bone reduction technique, which was an exercise he learned by chance when he was young and wandering the rivers and lakes. However, since I needed to cultivate to be able to practice, he taught me only after I advanced to Huajin. It's just that because my brother's incident happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to practice for a while, so I don't know if it's feasible yet. Qin Tian didn't intend to hide it, he directly told the three fat men his method.

"Ah, is there really such a magical exercise?" asked Li Zejiang suspiciously.

"There are so many kinds of martial arts in the world, how many of them can we really see? It's just that I have a question, the three of us haven't reached the point of cultivation yet, how will we practice the bone shrinking technique by then?" The fat man and Li Ze's habitual lifting of the bar began again, but his question did get to the point.

"That's exactly what I've been trying to figure out how to solve, and I'm going to wait until I'm done to see if I can change it for you to practice as well. If it really doesn't work, then I'll find another way to get you the keys to the shackles when I'm free. ”

Qin Tian told the three fat men about his plan, and after hearing it, they also felt that this method was quite feasible, so the plan was decided.

The plan had been decided, so Qin Tian and the others randomly chose a mine path and walked in. They don't separate, but they act together, so that if something happens, they can take care of it.

The mine road was as dark as ever, and the light of the oil lamp couldn't emanate far at all, so Qin Tian and the others could only move forward slowly, observing both sides of the mine road from time to time as they walked, to see if they could find anything.

However, after some searching, they found that although the cold iron ore here was very abundant, the ore that was relatively close to the ore trading hall had been mined. They had to walk slowly for nearly a kilometer before they could see the reddish-brown ore again. According to Ma Jun's requirements, each person had to dig up a hundred fist-sized ores every day, and they also had to transport them to the trading hall, which would be a lot of work.

Because on the one hand, the cold iron ore is very strong and heavy, and it is very difficult to mine, even if they have the strength of the qi sense level, if they want to dig out a piece of ore the size of a fist, they have to dig five or six times hard; on the other hand, this kind of long-distance transportation is not necessarily very safe, just as Qin Tian and they continue to move forward, they found that there are many pairs of eyes staring at them in the dark, and what is revealed in those eyes is almost naked greed.

It can be seen that it is not safe here, and even very dangerous, perhaps Ma Jun is right, after digging the mine, whether it can safely transport the ore to the trading hall is also not a difficult task.

Facing those greedy eyes hidden in the dark, Qin Tian and the four of them were not very afraid. Although they are all shackled on their hands and feet, people at the general qi level and even at the internal strength level are not necessarily their opponents, let alone these miners who don't know how to be hungry for a few days. So they almost swaggered all the way forward, not affected by those who were in the shadows.

Maybe it was Qin Tian's fearless and powerful aura when they were advancing, which shocked those greedy eyes, and they didn't encounter even a single attack along the way.

Qin Tian's target was not those ordinary cold iron mines, so they almost didn't stay too much in the cold iron ore area. As soon as it was confirmed that there was only the Cold Iron Ore here, they immediately turned away, confusing many of the people who had been watching them secretly.
