Chapter 474: Slave Life
On the vast desert, a large dense forest appeared, the trunks and leaves of this forest were dark blue, and there was a faint light lingering from the inside out, such a gorgeous tree species, but it reminded the execution of the strange plants in the Phantom Moon Valley.
However, this huge forest alone was certainly not enough to surprise the executioner, because in the depths of the forest there was a strange mountain tens of thousands of feet high.
The mountain was dark blue, and it emitted a dazzling blue light, and it looked exactly like the holy stone. It's a holy stone, and a holy stone of this size is simply crazy.
"Gone, gone"
"Don't look at it, from now on you will have to get along with it day and night, enough for you to see, hahahaha..."
Just when the executioner and the others were amazed by such a huge holy stone, the urging voice of the guards suddenly sounded in their ears, and that voice contained a meaning.
Only 1,000 people can successfully pass the test of the Tianji Battalion, and there are 30,000 mortals who enter the Starfall Dynasty from the mortal realm every month, and after the test is over, mortals who do not pass the assessment will be reduced to civilians or slaves.
However, of the remaining 29,000 people, at least 20,000 will be reduced to slavery, and they will be sent everywhere to perform inhumane hard labor, and nearly 1,000 slaves will be executed for this trip.
1,000 slaves, only 100 guards of the Tianji Battalion escorted, but this is enough, after all, the guards of the Tianji Battalion are all elite, and the slaves are just abandoned weaklings, plus the strange chains firmly buckle their hands and feet, it is difficult for them to escape.
But of course, the execution was not in this group of slaves, but at this moment the execution did not have the slightest desire to escape, because he was looking forward to it, looking forward to joining the working crowd soon, because they had already guessed the execution of the work they had come here, that is, the mining of sacred stones.
The Holy Stone is a must-have for the cultivation of the Battle Saint, but in the Starfall Dynasty, the Holy Stone is controlled by the Imperial City and the Heavenly Machine Battalion, and the civilians can't even see it, let alone use it for cultivation.
But here, there are endless holy stones, although I don't know what kind of scene is inside, but there is no impermeable wall, and the execution is absolutely certain, and you can get the holy stones.
Because along the way, the executioner has already discovered that the spiritual weapons on their bodies have long been stripped away, and even the storage bracelets have been taken away, and they are now completely destitute.
However, the Soul Eater Order of the Torture is an exception, and the Soul Eater Order of the Torture is now a seemingly inconspicuous ordinary ring, which is not rare at all, but they don't know that this Soul Eater Order can call itself a treasure of space.
Even if the entire giant holy stone is taken away, it will not be a problem, of course, with the current soul power, it is not possible to take away such a huge holy stone, but a little bit of accumulation is still very simple.
After walking for half a day, they finally came to the holy stone, but looking at the scene in front of them, they were a little speechless.
"Knock, knock, knock, knock,"
"Hurry, hurry, you hurry up"
"Pap~Pap~Papa~Pa~"
The screeching sound of the sacred stone was constantly resounding, and tens of thousands of slaves were toiling in front of the huge mountain-like sacred stone, some of them were mining with special spiritual weapons, and some were pushing the heavy loading cart and walking around with gritted teeth.
The most speechless thing is that when they are working hard, from time to time a guard with a leather whip will whip them twice, the leather whip is a spiritual weapon, even if they do not exert their real strength and just whip twice at will, it is not uncomfortable, and the slaves under such abuse are already incomplete and embarrassed.
"Damn, this is simply inhuman abuse, let Lao Tzu do this kind of thing, it is better to kill me. A middle-aged slave next to him said angrily.
"Kill you? It's too easy to kill you, it is said that the slaves of the dynasty here exhaust hundreds of people every month, and half of them are the guards here who look unhappy and kill and eat meat!" Seeing this, the man next to the middle-aged slave reminded.
"I'll wipe it, won't it, so cruel!" and the man's words caused the people around him to be shocked, and their faces were full of fear.
"I think I'm finally getting to know what it means to see the light of day. And at this moment, the executioner finally knew why people were so frightened when they talked about slaves before.
"Don't be stunned, let's go" At this moment, the urging of the guards came from around the executioner and the others again.
At the urging of the guards, the executioner and the others came to a small plain, on which were the dilapidated grass houses, which looked like slaves' residences, but on the opposite side of the grass houses were several luxurious palaces.
These palaces were not small, but they were in stark contrast to the dilapidated grass huts, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were supposed to be the quarters of the guards.
Looking at this appearance, the guards here seemed to be more comfortable than the guards of the Tianji Battalion, but at this moment, the executioner's eyes did not stop at those buildings, but were attracted by a strange object in the center of the plain.
The large array composed of several strange situations that were 100 meters high was indeed a large array, and it was an extremely mysterious array, but as for the use of this large array, the execution was unknown.
"Well, I sent another thousand, I don't know how long this time will last. ”
"It doesn't matter, anyway, a batch will be made up every month, there is nothing else in the dynasty, but the slaves are endless, hahaha..."
At this moment, from a rather luxurious palace not far away, two fat-headed men walked out, the men's spirit armor was wearing a red cloak, it seemed that they were captain-level guards, and they should be the leaders of this place, otherwise they would not be all skinny, but they are so well nourished.
But it is worth mentioning that they were followed by dozens of guards, and those guards carried what seemed to be very heavy in pairs.
"Quick, stand in two rows, stand in order. Before and after the execution, the guards with leather whips shouted again.
And when the torturer had waited for the thousand slaves to stand, they actually began to remove the chains from the hands and feet of the executioner, and took out very strange bracelets from the heavy chest, and finally put them on the wrists and ankles of the slaves.
"Buzz"
The bracelets were very strange, when they were worn on the wrist of the execution, they actually flashed their faint smoothness, and at this moment the bracelet actually began to shrink, when it was firmly buckled on the wrist of the execution, I only felt a strange energy into the body of the execution, and spread rapidly, all over the body, as if to devour everything in him, but in addition to this special feeling, there were no other uncomfortable symptoms.
"Let me tell you, this is called the Bondage Chain, and the special thing about this bracelet is that it can be easily placed in the place of your death. ”
"However, as long as you are obedient and don't think about running away, you will be fine. ”
"Alright, that's all there is to say, you can go and enjoy life here. ”
After bringing the so-called bondage lock for the executioners, one of the fat guard captains said loudly, and then gave a look to the surrounding guards.
After that, under the leadership of the guards, the executioners and the others began to receive the tools for mining the sacred stones, and returned to the sacred stones like a huge mountain, ready to start their life as slaves.
"Damn, this Captain of the Guards is so despicable. As he walked towards the stone, one of the slaves said indignantly.
"Oh, I don't know what to say?" Seeing this, the torturer asked curiously.
"This bondage chain is an extremely poisonous thing. ”
"See that big array, that big array is the eye of this binding chain, if we leave the limited distance of the big array, this binding chain will play its role. ”
At that time, he will be tortured and finally turn into blood and die. Seeing the executioner's question, the slave leaned into the torturer's ear and whispered.
"I see, what a ruthless method. ”
And at this moment, the executioner finally understood the slave's words, the reason why the captain of the guard did not clearly inform the slave of the function of the bondage chain, was that he wanted some slaves to take it lightly and escape while others were unprepared, but all slaves who did so would have only one end, a tragic death! It can be seen that the guards here did not treat slaves as human beings at all.
"Smack, smack, smack,"
"Damn, the old immortal pushes it quickly"
As he spoke, the executioner and the others had already returned to the place where the slaves worked, and not far from the execution, a skinny and white-haired old man was pushing a loading cart that was hundreds of times larger than him, but at the moment it was an uphill road, and the old man obviously couldn't push it up, so at this moment, behind him, a guard was waving a long whip at him.
But although the long whip kept waving on the old man's back, it had already broken his skin, but the old man did not even dare to cry out in pain, but continued to grit his teeth, endure the pain in his back, and push the loading cart hard.
However, the most surprising thing for the executioners and others was that there were obviously many young and strong slaves next to the old man, but after they just glanced at the old man indifferently, they were busy with the work in hand, and no one stepped forward to help.
"Uncle, I'll come"
This kind of thing, others can ignore it as if they didn't see it, but the execution can't be regarded as not seeing, he hurriedly put down the tools in his hand, came to the old man's side, and wanted to help the old man push the loading truck up this high post.
"Smack, smack, smack"
But just as the executioner put his hand on the loading cart, he felt a fiery pain in his back, and turned to look, and sure enough, it was the guard who was waving a long whip and looking at him with an angry face.
"Boy, you have to be a good person, right?"
"Okay, fulfill you, from now on you will push this loading cart for me, if you can't push it, Lao Tzu will beat you to death" Seeing that the torture was turned back, the guard shouted at him viciously.
"Hey, another quick death, fool. Seeing this, the surrounding slaves whispered after glancing at the execution, and then continued to busy their work, as if they had seen a lot of such scenes.
"Heh~"
And for the words full of ridicule around him, the execution was slightly smiled and ignored, although the weight of this loading cart is not light, but the execution has full confidence that it can be easily pushed away, and this loading cart is full of holy stones, if you can push this loading cart every day in the future, this is a great opportunity for the torture to steal the holy stones.
