Chapter 192: Into the Ground
But I saw that on the back side of the red clay mountain, along the slope of the mountain, twenty or thirty holes were dug that went straight to the ground.
The largest hole is more than five zhang in diameter, the hole in the middle is more than two zhang in diameter, and the smallest hole is not much bigger than a basin.
Whatever kind of hole, there was an iron fence locked on it, and next to the fence was a pole with a string of bells hanging from it, and beside it stood thirty or forty canu-soldier soldiers.
In a pergola not far away, there was even a Pixiu sitting swaggeringly.
There was also a band of savage slaves, about seventy or eighty men, chained to their ankles, and digging the hillside, all of whom seemed to have been caught in the red walled city long ago.
At that moment, next to a medium-sized hole, a bell rang.
The dog soldiers were in good spirits, carrying bone spears, and gathered next to the hole.
A dog opened the iron fence, and in a few moments, a group of exhausted savage slaves, more than twenty people in all, came out of the cat's waist.
These savage slaves had not seen the sun for many days, and their bodies were unhealthily white, and the last drop of their sweat was squeezed dry, and even the dazzling vertigo of the sun could not be resisted, and as soon as they crawled out of the hole, they fell to the ground one after another.
The dog soldiers shouted loudly, and seven or eight leather whips were drawn mercilessly, and these leather whips were soaked in some juice, and as soon as they were drawn, the skin and flesh immediately opened, and blood was dripping.
The savage slaves, however, seemed accustomed to whipping, preferring to lie on the ground and enjoy a moment of respite. It wasn't until the Dog Soldier pointed his bone spear at them that he struggled to straighten up.
More than twenty savage slaves, each carrying a bulging leather bag with two shoulder straps deeply embedded in the shoulder.
Under the wielding of the leather whip, the crowd staggered towards the tent.
The Pixiu came out of the tent, called a savage slave, and ripped open the leather bag behind his back. With two sharp claws, he pulled out a fist-sized stone from it and placed it under the sun to look at.
In the sunlight, the stone emits a faint blue glow. Wu Ye saw it clearly through the eyes of the Fu Ghost.
Even though they were hundreds of feet apart, this blue light still gave Wu Ye a very comfortable feeling. It's like a hot summer day, and a clear stream suddenly pours into the bottom of my heart.
"It's a hedroon!"
Only spar can give people this feeling.
In this case, there should be a spiritual mine underneath!
No wonder the pig demon had to occupy the cemetery of the remnants of Great Xia to build a walled city, it turned out to be to develop the spiritual mine below!
The largest hole is supposed to be the main tunnel that leads to the center of the vein, the medium hole is the one that slaves usually enter and exit, and the smallest hole is the pipe used for ventilation!
Pixiu casually opened the leather bags of the three slave miners, and after checking the fineness of the hedrons, he waved his hand, and the group of slave miners carried the heavy hedrons. Walk towards a large cave on the back hill.
It looks like it's the warehouse where the hedron is stored.
Wu Ye was unsure of how to use this spiritual mine, when suddenly there was a commotion in front of him.
When I looked back, it was a two-headed Pixiu. More than 20 dogs, escorting a group of wild people, came to the spirit mine.
Most of these savages were scarred and unruly, and they were all newly captured captives.
All the captives were shackled and unarmed. Where is the opponent of the heavily armed dog Rong, not to mention that there are three Pixiu beside him, even Wu Ye does not dare to act rashly.
"Whoa!"
Four dog soldiers pulled the rope with the thickness of their arms, the winch turned, the iron fence outside the main mine road slowly rose, and a Pixiu and ten dog Rong escorted the slaves into the mine and disappeared into the ground. ...,
Wu Ye waited calmly.
It was only after about half an hour that Pixiu and Inurong returned to the surface and hurried away with their companions, and not long after, a second group of captives were escorted over.
This group of captives was also more than thirty people, but among them was a giant of the Kuafu clan, who was firmly chained to his hands, feet and neck, and was dragged to death by two Pixiu and seven or eight dogs, for fear that he would break out.
The iron fence was opened again, and the captives were silently devoured by the earth.
In the following day and night, more than 20 groups of prisoners were escorted one after another, totaling more than 700 people, some from various tribes, and most of them were covered in bruises.
However, before going to the mine, the pig demon's subordinates also applied ointment to them, apparently not wanting the miners to die in vain before they even started working.
After a day and a night, no more slaves came.
Wu Ye was still cowering in the corner under the city wall, and he didn't move his position for a day or a night.
He kept recalling the picture of himself fighting with the pig demon, playing it over and over again in his mind.
From beginning to end, the pig demon said a total of three words.
"Not bad. ”
"Roar!"
The pig demon didn't say his name, nor did he ask Wu Ye's name.
Obviously, the current Wuye is neither worthy of being remembered nor qualified to listen to his name.
Wu Ye secretly clenched his fists.
His original plan was to hide in the red walled city for a few days and then walk away when he had the chance.
But as soon as he thought of the pig demon's eyes that looked at the world and looked empty, a fire in his heart rose irrepressibly, burning more and more, and he couldn't suppress it.
For some reason, he was very eager to see the panicked expression on the pig demon's stinky face.
Being able to make such a tough guy like steel and iron panic is like turning a woman who is three chastity and nine fierce, ice clear and jade into a lewd-baby-, which is the most refreshing thing in the world.
Wu Ye hibernated for five days and five nights.
It wasn't that there were no opportunities, but he didn't want to take even the slightest risk.
As time passed, and there was no trace of his whereabouts, the pig demon seemed to become impatient and took a group of guards from the mine.
Originally, there were two Pixiu guards in shifts, but one was taken away, and only one was left, guarding it day and night, of course, there would be omissions.
Even if the meal can be solved in the tent, the matter of the reincarnation of the five grains has to go to the thatched hut in the distance - Pixiu is a nobleman among the demon clans, and loves cleanliness more than the human race, and of course will not make his workplace dirty.
Finally, on the evening of the fifth day, shortly after Pixiu swaggered towards the hut, a bell rang on a mine road.
The Inujun soldiers had a strong confidence in their master, and in many cases, this confidence turned into laxity.
They didn't wait for Pixiu to return, they opened the fence.
Wu Ye floated silently like a wandering spirit.
When all the slave miners had climbed up, and the Inujon soldiers were about to re-lock the fence, Wu Ye took advantage of the gap and burrowed into the mine.
The dog soldier only felt a gust of wind blowing in his face, blinked his cloudy eyes twice, and found nothing unusual, and immediately after locking the fence, he devoted himself to the pleasure of whipping the slaves.
Wu Ye used his hands and feet to advance through the mine.
He also took a certain risk in doing so, the mine was so narrow that only one person could pass through, and if a dog came up from underneath, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although after five days of observation, nothing like this happened, and the dog soldiers in the mine were all changed shifts through the main mine, but carefully sailed the 10,000-year-old ship, and he still crossed the mine as fast as possible, and descended to a mine layer seventy or eighty zhang below the ground. ...,
This mine layer was originally an underground cave with a radius of more than 100 zhang, and after extensive excavation, it was not depressing, but the air was very dirty, and under the high-intensity labor of the slave miners, the air was filled with a strong smell of sweat.
Despite a dozen vents, it didn't work much.
On the roof of the mine are two bright rune lights, made of fire crystals, emitting an orange-red light, illuminating every corner of the mine.
About three or four hundred miners toiled around the mine, carefully priing the hedrons off the rock walls, clanging and occasionally the painful moans of the slave miners and the shouting of the canine soldiers.
Compared with the spirit ore found by Wu Ye in the Chaotic Blade Gorge, the quality of this piece of spirit ore is not good, most of the spars are scattered and embedded in the rocks, and each spar is more or less wrapped in a layer of rock, and there are also a lot of impurities inside the spar, which need to be carefully polished and refined before it can be used.
However, the area of this spiritual ore is much larger than the spiritual ore in the Chaotic Blade Gorge, in addition to this ore layer, after Wu Ye passed through a horizontal ore tunnel, he actually found a second ore layer.
He wanted to find out how large this spiritual mine was, and under the cover of Yun Mengwan, he silently explored in the mine.
There were not many indicators left underground, only two or three in each mine, and most of the slave miners were tortured to the point of dying, not even noticing his existence.
He walked through five layers of ore of different sizes in a row, and these were only developed ore layers, and in the unknown darkness, he didn't know how many priceless hedras were still contained.
The scale of this spiritual mine is at least ten times that of the Chaotic Blade Gorge spiritual mine!
What is hidden here is a water spare, which explains why a grassland will appear very abruptly on the wasteland - water is the source of life, and the water spar is born with the function of nourishing the land and giving birth to all things.
These fertile fields nourished by spiritual mines are called "spiritual fields", and the crops grown from the spiritual fields are born with incomparably abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and many cultivators do not eat crops that are not produced by spiritual fields.
And this further confirms Ma Boguang's inference - the Kyushu Dingding Fu has partially failed, and the border wilderness that my uncle didn't love and didn't love my grandmother has become a paradise for the aura of heaven and earth!
At this moment, Wu Ye heard a fierce roar coming from a narrow mine tunnel. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
