"All those who pick quarrels and provoke trouble, the number of mining has increased by 10% today, if you dare to disobey, he will be doomed!" the sword was sheathed, and the captain of the guard said sharply to everyone.

Whether it is the old cultivators or the newcomers who have fallen to the ground*, they all dare not come out of the atmosphere, but their faces are full of gray. It's okay if they weren't injured, but the few newcomers who were seriously injured couldn't complete the original task, let alone add another one.

"Adult ......"

"Shut up. ”

Zhou Yang just wanted to speak, but the captain of the guard interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said coldly: "Aren't you very good at fighting! Okay, your team's mission has increased by two percent!"

"I ......" Zhou Yang was anxious, how could it be done!

"Sancheng! Otherwise, there is only one end, and that is death!" The captain of the guard interrupted him again, his voice became even colder, and at the same time, the peak aura of the Lingtai burst out, and the oppressed Zhou Yang took a few steps back.

Zhou Yang expelled Ling Ling with a cold war, his mind immediately sobered up, and he subconsciously covered his face, then realized something, and quickly let go.

He fully believes that as long as he says another word, his life will be over. Moreover, his robe was already torn, and if someone found a storage bag hidden in his robe, it would be more than worth the loss.

"Hmph, let's get started!" the captain of the guard snorted coldly, turned and left.

Several guards began to shout out to everyone, driving the new and old nuns back to work.

The beards and beards dispersed, and the five rookie captains also supported each other to return to the team, gritted their teeth and picked up the lower magic weapon to re-excavate.

Zhou Yang sighed secretly, and silently returned to his original position to continue his previous work, but the wound on his back was painful. There is no way, he can only endure it, he will definitely do a Tongxiao tonight.

The next day, Zhou Yang and the other mortals were tired and a little prostration, and they could be considered to have completed the mining task.

Yesterday's mission was completed, but with the current state of their team, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it today.

"Let's rest for a while. Needless to say, the crowd would have collapsed to the ground, and they couldn't scream.

"Captain, captain!" suddenly came an urgent cry not far away.

He searched for prestige, but a rookie captain was lying upright on the ground, and a group of mortals were shouting anxiously.

Zhou Yang walked over with a strong spirit, and the next moment he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

The man was dead.

A guard came over to inspect it and ordered the body to be carried out. He saw Zhou Yang at a glance, and after a moment of silence, he said, "These nine mortals are temporarily entrusted to you to take care of, as for the mining task, we will talk about it later." ”

At this moment, there was a violent shaking in the mine, large pieces of stones fell, and the screams of a group of mortals were heard, and the cultivators also used their own means to avoid the big stones.

"Mountain earthquake, it's a mountain earthquake!"

"The intensity has increased again!"

The crowd screamed, and there was chaos in the mine.

Zhou Yang struggled to shoot a boulder, and his face turned a little pale. Fortunately, after a few breaths, the shaking disappeared, and the boulder stopped falling, but he still looked at the top of the cave with palpitations.

He also understood that a landquake is a type of earthquake, which refers specifically to an earthquake that occurs deep in the mountains. But he didn't expect the mountain earthquake to be so violent, if his acupoint was still sealed, he would have to be smashed and seriously injured.

"Shut up! It's all about the earthquake, it's worth making a fuss, give me work!" the shaking disappeared, and the guard snapped as he stabilized his figure.

The commotion gradually subsided, but the wails were still heard from time to time.

"Come and see, there's a lot of spirit ore falling!" A moment later, someone began to shout again.

"Great, we can exceed the task today!"

"Eh, it's finally time to rest!"

There were bursts of cheers from the cultivators in the mine.

"Shut up and keep working for me!" the guard shouted.

The noise died down again, and everyone began to get busy again.

Zhou Yang also breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the ground, and closed his eyes comfortably.

Soon after, the mine guards sent another cultivator to take over the nine mortal slaves from before.

In the following days, the bearded man and the others did not make any moves, as if they had forgotten Zhou Yang, or they were afraid of his strength, and they did not dare to make a move.

Zhou Yang also understands that no matter how good he is, it is impossible for him to single out those old cultivators, and he still understands the truth that it is difficult to support alone. Therefore, he deliberately co-opted a few new cultivators to confront the old cultivators led by the bearded man, and there was no major conflict for a while.

The days are monotonous and tasteful, and the key is not to cultivate. And this, for a cultivator, is simply a slow suicide.

"Do you want to stay here for the rest of your life? Absolutely not, you must find a way to escape. Zhou Yang was unwilling in his heart.

Although the aura here is extremely rich, there is no semi-aura existence, he is only in the Kaiyuan realm, and he can't absorb it directly. And the spirit stone is very tightly controlled, and there is no chance to absorb it secretly. In this case, the cultivation cannot be advanced inch by inch, although it will not regress, but after a long time, the longevity will be drastically reduced under heavy labor.

The lifespan of a Kaiyuan realm cultivator is slightly longer than that of mortals, more than a hundred years. Lingtai Realm cultivators are longer, one hundred and fifty or sixty years, while Tianyuan Mirror cultivators have a lifespan of two or three hundred years, and they can reach five or six hundred years when they break through to Jindan. However, here, the cultivator's longevity is drastically depleted, and his body functions begin to weaken, and the more he goes on, the more difficult it is to break through the shackles. If you stay here for a long time, even if you can go out, no matter how many spirit stones and pills you have, you won't be able to break through to the next realm.

In the mines, the lives of cultivators may wither in a short period of time, and mortals die even faster. Of course, Zhou Yang was not willing to waste his life here, even if he was devoured by demon beasts outside, it was better than suffering here.

The mine is very deep, and the space is also very large, the miners in charge of mining eat and live here, and are monitored by a large number of guards day and night, and the nuns do not know anything about the situation outside the cave, and there is almost no possibility of escape.

Zhou Yang was trying to figure out a way every day, but every day he would be disappointed, and he slowly became a little numb.

It was noon on the day.

"Miss, slow down, it's not safe here, and there is a possibility of a mountain earthquake at any time. ”

"Why am I so squeamish, do you think Miss Ben is cowardly?"

"Don't dare! ”

The two black-armored captains bowed down and accompanied a young girl into the mine.

"This is the spirit stone mine! how is it different from the spirit stone I use!" the girl asked curiously, it seemed that it was the first time to enter the mine.

"That's the kind of young lady, this is a poor mining area, this kind of ore can only produce about one or two percent of the spirit stone, so the color is much worse. A black-armored captain respectfully explained to the girl.

Zhou Yang, who was in the distance, also looked over, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, about the same age as him, and seemed to be about the same in cultivation, wearing a purple bodysuit, showing off a graceful and slender waist. A face that is even more delicate and beautiful than Binglan, with big eyes and abnormal agility. The girl's voice is crisp and pleasant, making people feel more comfortable when they hear it. However, this girl and Binglan's quiet personality are very different, and at first glance she is lively and cheerful, and she is very active.

At this time, the girl's eyes were not enough, she looked at the mine for a while, touched the ore for a while, and knocked on the cave wall with her little white hands from time to time.

"Wow, there are still a lot of cultivators among the mine slaves! Hey, this young man actually has the cultivation of the peak of Kaiyuan! Isn't it a pity to do such a thing?" The purple-clothed girl couldn't help frowning when she saw Zhou Yang at a glance.

"Miss, this person has a murder case, and the sect will give him a way to live and let him become a mining slave to atone for his sins. Captain Black Armor glanced at Zhou Yang and hurriedly replied.

"I don't have a murder case!I'm also a permanent resident of Anping City!" Zhou Yang couldn't help but be annoyed again when he heard this, and shouted.

"Shut up, you is not qualified to talk to Miss, hurry up and get to work!" Captain Black Armor rebuked. Immediately, two guards whipped it with leather whips, and Zhou Yang, who was in pain, bared his teeth. This is a special leather whip for low-level cultivators, which is designed to break through the Yuan Force and make people feel pain into the bone marrow.

"You're a resident of the city, and you haven't killed anyone yet?" the girl wondered, patting the stone chips in her hand.

"No, I don't know why they brought me here!" Zhou Yang shouted again.

He faintly felt in his heart that this woman's identity was very unusual.

The guard wanted to raise the whip and strike again, but the girl waved her hand, and the guard took the whip and stepped aside.

But the captain of the black armor glared at Zhou Yang viciously, and warned him with his eyes not to talk nonsense.

The girl walked up to him and looked curiously for a while before asking, "What's your name?"

"Zhou Yang. ”

"How old are you?"

"XVI. ”

"Wow, it's the same as me! You've reached the peak of Kaiyuan at your age, that's good!" the girl looked very happy. Her cultivation realm is also at the peak of Kaiyuan.

"It's a pity to be a mine slave, Miss Ben is going to stay in this mine for a while, would you like to be my guard?"

"Guards?" Zhou Yang was stunned.

"Yes, would you like to?" asked the girl.

"As long as you don't become a mining slave, you can do anything. Zhou Yang was overjoyed and said busily.

"You're really, of course not a miner. Captain Hu, let them go!" the girl glanced at Zhou Yang, turned her head to Captain Heijia and said.

"This ...... Miss, his status is low, how can he be your guard, he, he is not worthy. The captain said.

"I promoted him to be a guard, isn't his status the same as yours?"

"This ...... He is a cultivator, no more than a mortal. subordinates, subordinates can't be the master, and they have to report to Elder Li. "Captain Black Armor is starting to sweat on his head.

"I'll tell Elder Li personally, you just have to release the people. The girl waved her hand directly.

As soon as her words fell, the mine suddenly shook violently, accompanied by falling stones, which immediately caused a noise in the cave.

"It's a mountain earthquake!Miss beware!" Captain Hu shouted.

At this time, directly above the girl in purple, a basin-sized ore suddenly fell down and smashed directly on the top of her head. The girl looked up in horror, her face was so frightened that she screamed, and she couldn't move her legs.
