Chapter 504: Who Counts Whom
Lance climbed between the mountains one foot deep and one shallow, and he gradually showed a bitter color as he watched the accumulation of rocky brown earth seem to be endless and endless. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It has always been very difficult to work outdoors at night, but tonight the moon entered the clouds. He leaned over the ground, barely able to see until his eyes touched the ground.
He fell just now, with many scars on his body, and his palm was also scratched, blood dripped down his palm, and he felt a piercing pain.
In order to avoid attracting the attention of the guards and ruining the boss's good deeds, he didn't dare to use defensive magic to protect his body, nor could he rely on auxiliary magic to help investigate, so his selection and digging speed was very average, and it took half a day to barely fill a small half bag of worthless stones in his chest pocket, and the harvest was worse than some of the healthy women in the team.
Gaisce had been following Lance a short distance away, looking for an opportunity to push him off a cliff. He was originally a miner, but he was injured a little while mining some time ago, and after deliberately currying favor with the flattering cell leader, he was assigned to a relatively relaxed red team.
"This guy is thin, he should be easier to start!" he looked at Lance with a fierce look in his eyes, looking back from time to time to see if anyone around him was paying attention, and quietly looking for the best opportunity to start.
"Over here, there are so many gems here, come on!" a woman cried out on the hill ahead, calling for her companions to come and help. When the others heard this, it was as if they had seen all the meat flies pounce on them, and Lance wanted to go there, but when he saw that the little hill was crowded and couldn't stand still, he had to retreat and stay where he was and continue to look at the surrounding rocks.
"It's coming!" Gace only felt his heart start beating faster, licking his lips and smirking. At this time, it was the night of the murder of the moon and the dark wind, and there was not even a ghost around, and everyone was attracted by the situation over there, as long as he pushed him off the cliff and fell to his death, he would definitely die without proof.
Thinking of this, he was evil in his heart, and his killing intent suddenly appeared, and he tiptoed over on tiptoe, and the lone shadow under his feet was dragged into an old elder under the dim moonlight, like a ghost.
Suppressing the excitement and fear, Gess was short of breath like a deer, quietly moved behind Lance, stretched out his palms and saw that he was about to stick to Lance's back, the other party seemed to have found something in front of him, and suddenly accelerated his pace and moved forward, but he avoided his push.
Gaiss stood in place, there was a sudden shock under his feet, and there were cracks on the rocks that could barely bear the weight of a person, and Gess showed an unbelievable look in his eyes, and he watched the stones under his feet crack and shatter, and the whole person suddenly lost his support and began to paddle down the slope.
"How so?" he cried, and quickly climbed back and forth with his hands and feet, and the ten fingers of his hands were like claws, and he barely fixed himself on the edge of the cliff. At this time, his hands hurt like a heart, and his arms lost sensation, but Gace didn't dare to move, so he had to grit his teeth and insist.
"Help!" he opened his mouth and wailed, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a cold wind poured in, and his voice could not be heard at all.
The crack continued to expand, and Ges's heart seemed to be clenched by someone, and he suddenly felt a trace of despair, and suddenly lost support under his feet, and his body began to fall.
"Ahh
"Don't be afraid, I see you!" a crisp voice came from above, and Gais's hand was grabbed by the owner of the voice, dragging his body to hang in the air.
Geth opened his eyes and saw that half of his body was poking out of it, and it was the strange-looking child he wanted to kill. The other man propped himself up on the edge of the cliff with one hand, and with the other he grabbed Geis's arm and hung him there steadily.
"This kid has so much strength!" A strange thought suddenly appeared in Gais's head, he is more than one meter eight tall and weighs almost two hundred pounds, ordinary adult men may not be able to catch him, let alone this child who is as weak as a bean sprout, and even the wind blows and will fall.
"Hold on, don't let go, I'll pull you up!" Lance said loudly to him. Because human life is at stake, he can't care about obeying He Jinshui's instructions to hide it, the arm covered with scales glows faintly and then suddenly thickened, and the small slap grabbed Ges's arm like an iron tong, even making him feel a little painful, and then he lifted it up like a chicken and gently placed it on the stone next to him.
Geth braced his hands on the ground, his chest heaving violently, gasping for air, and feeling lucky. The smoke in front of me is filled, and the strange rocks under the cliff are craggy, and if you look at it from above, you can't help but feel a sense of dizziness and weightlessness.
"Huhu, it was so dangerous just now, thank you!" Rao hated him to the bone, and Gaiss couldn't help but do superficial work to express his gratitude, otherwise the other party would be suspicious.
"It's nothing, it's just a gesture!" Lance clapped his hands lightly, as if saving the other man's life was a trivial matter.
"Be careful, I'm going to work!" Lance instructed, looking around.
"Kill him, kill him!" the demon's voice rang in his ears, and at this moment the boy was walking on the edge of the cliff, and a gentle push could kill him!
Geth gritted his teeth and quietly followed, stretched out his arms and gestured from behind, and only after feeling that it was foolproof did he step forward and push it out hard, and said silently in his heart: "Bye-bye, reincarnate early!"
"Hey, what are these glittering ones?" A flickering light caught Lance's attention, and as the black hand behind him was about to slap his back, he suddenly bent down and carefully examined the stones beneath his feet.
A grim smile froze on his face, and Ges's palms suddenly flew into the air with all his strength, and his upper body tilted forward uncontrollably. He was startled, and hurriedly took a step forward to keep his center of gravity, but he didn't want to kick Lance's body and mix garlic under his feet, and the whole person flew out of the cliff at once.
"I ...... Good...... Hate!" The wail dragged on and dragged on with a long tail that echoed through the wind, and was quickly blown away. Lance felt that someone was filming him, but when he turned around, he didn't see anything, and the strange man he had just saved was gone, and he probably had gone down the hill.
"Strange, no one, maybe I feel wrong!" Lance scratched his head in some confusion, turned his head to look at the shining gems under his feet, his eyes were suddenly dazzled, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands and said with joy: "So many gems are dug up, the cell boss will definitely be satisfied, I think everyone doesn't have to starve today." ”
......
Under the strict guard of the dwarven jailers, He Jinshui and his entourage walked slowly with heavy footsteps with handcuffs and footcuffs, and came to a gentle slope of the mountainside, where they stopped in front of a huge pothole.
The workers of the previous shift came out of it one after another. They are disheveled, and their gray faces are invisible, like terracotta warriors and horses who can walk. Shirtless, wet and sloppy with their prison clothes draped over their shoulders, they staggered with heavy steps, and when they came out, they didn't say much, just stood there greedily breathing in the fresh air, and let the jailers rush up and put heavy handcuffs and anklets on them.
"One, two......" The cell boss counted the number of people, and saw that there were no more and no less, and the mined ore was piled up in a thick pile in the open space next to it, and he couldn't help but smile on his face, nodded and said, "Good job, add dinner in the evening!" and then waved his hand to call for someone to take them away.
"Alright, it's your turn!" the cell boss turned to the new prisoners and said, "Lao Tzu's request is very simple, that is, to work hard! If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished, and if you are lazy, you will have to eat a whip, and if you eat a few more times, Lao Tzu will peel his skin!" After saying that, he ordered someone to remove the shackles, and pushed the prisoners into the pit.
The cave is filled with the smell of earth, and the rock wall is not high, and you have to bend down to walk, and after a long time, you will feel uncomfortable. It was dark inside, and although there was an oil lamp resting on the rock wall every few tens of meters, the flickering flames were better than nothing. He Jinshui and Arnold fell at the end of the line and walked in with their fellow prisoners.
At the end of the pit, the ground is piled up with unmined ore, and digging and mining tools are scattered all around. The jailers followed, divided each prisoner according to their physical condition, and then ordered them to pick up their tools and get to work.
The crisp sound of the bang came and went, and the prisoners began the long night under the watchful eyes of the jailers and overseers. He Jinshui and Arnold, two tall guys, were the focus of the overseers' attention, standing there and standing out from the crowd, attracting almost everyone's attention.
He Jinshui is a lot taller than when he came to the Otherworld two years ago, his height is already close to one meter nine, his body is well-proportioned and muscular, and he looks powerful.
Arnold is a man of great talent, a berserker, and his size and strength are the things he is proud of. Now he has a wide waist and a round waist, a height of more than two meters, and the muscle bumps all over his body are raised high, showing a heroic image of infinite strength and infinite energy.
"These two guys, not bad!" the cell leader nodded with a satisfied look, he hit them at first sight, so they were placed at the front of the team, in the first line of digging rocks, hoping to use their brute force to increase the mining speed, and successfully pass the month-end assessment two days later.
The rock wall trembled violently.
He Jinshui and Arnold respectively grabbed a stainless steel chisel more than one meter long in their left hands, and wielded a huge hammer in their right hands, sweating like rain in the dim light, hammering one hammer after another, deeply embedded the chisel into the rock wall, and immediately formed a crack like a spider web around it.
The two of them have the intention to retain their strength, without using any martial arts or abilities, relying only on physical brute force is enough to alarm the surroundings, just like two mighty human flesh piledrivers, with a rumbling sound all the way forward, when they encounter rocks, they dig up, and those that can't dig are smashed and moved, and the mining work goes extremely smoothly, even the cell head was stunned by their work results, their mouths opened wide, and gradually formed an O-shape, happily closed their mouths, and their hearts shouted that they had found a treasure.
The two of them are so violent, the surrounding workers are a lot easier, there were originally people digging together, now they only need to pull down the rock wall and gravel that they knocked loose and drag it to the mouth of the hole, the original excavation + loosening + transportation of ore The manual ratio is 3:3:4, and now the work of excavation is wrapped up by these two guys, and others can't get involved, so they change to loosening and transporting, and the speed still can't keep up with the progress of the other party's excavation, and the work efficiency of the whole team has been greatly improved.
"What two mighty hammers!" the cell leader looked at them with his chin pinched, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious, if it were not for pretending to be majestic and calm in front of the prisoners, I am afraid that they would all have to jump up and show off their dancing skills.
The more he looked at these two people, the more he liked them, especially Arnold, whose dark skin and strong body seemed to contain explosive power, as long as he could maintain this state, he was confident that he would be at the top of the assessment at the end of each month, and when the time came, he would definitely impress the Dwarf King and find a better position.
He Jinshui observed the surroundings while wielding a hammer, the mine is rich in minerals, the black rock is obviously iron ore, and there are a large number of shiny materials inlaid in it, it should be some precious gems, no wonder the cell boss will arrange a special person to carry out mining. But to his surprise, the guards paid the most attention to the yellow clay that had been knocked down, shining with a strange light, and was taken out and put into the storehouse after being dug up, which was much more precious than other ores placed in the open air.
"This yellow mud must be of great use, but what can it be used for?" He Jinshui squinted his eyes slightly thoughtfully, but he couldn't figure it out.
The two of them sweated like rain, but someone looked at their backs in a dark corner and frowned, gradually revealing a resentful look. This is a stout man, one size smaller than Arnold, and he is also known for his strength, but he is not as perverted as these two guys.
His name is Ai Hu, and he is the foreman of Prison No. 8, and although he is still a prisoner, he has privileges in the prison. This is a ruthless guy, good at observing words and feelings, he used to be a good hand in a mercenary group, and after being caught in, he took the initiative to help the cell boss clean up and deter some disobedient thorns, and he was appointed as the foreman by betraying his co-workers in exchange for the trust of the cell boss.
Seeing that the two guys worked so hard to get the injury of the cell leader, Ai Hu worked absentmindedly while calculating in his heart. He felt that the cell boss admired these two guys very much, and if he allowed them to continue performing, he might shake his position in the eyes of the cell boss.
"Bastard, I won't let you succeed!" Ai Hu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and a vicious idea came out of his head, thinking about how to kill these two people and completely eliminate the trouble.
