Chapter 31: Doubling salaries
The golden needle slowly dissipated, obviously it was not an entity, but some kind of spell condensed by spiritual power.
At this time, Chen Ke and the others discovered that in less than two minutes, hundreds of people were killed and injured.
Some of the unlucky ones who were stung in the head died on the spot.
Some people who were lucky enough to be stung in the arm and other people who were not critical, also fell to the ground and screamed.
The poison of the exploding golden bee seemed to be very terrifying, and even a third-rate master could not bear it.
Zhang Yuan palpitated beside Chen Ke and said: "The tail needle of this gold bee restrains the metal, and the metal will burst open after being stabbed. In addition, it is also very toxic. ”
Chen Ke nodded slightly.
Many people have a look of resignation on their faces, even if the job pays very well, but they have to be paid for it.
So many people died on the first day, and who knows what will happen after that?
Suddenly, someone in the distance was frightened: "It's so dangerous, I won't do it......"
As he spoke, he ran down the mountain, tearing off the filial piety from his head as he ran.
Some people took the lead, and some timid people also slowly retreated, tearing off the filial piety.
Zhang Yuan looked at Chen Ke, but saw Chen Ke staring at those who had escaped.
Just as he was puzzled, he suddenly found that the people who had ripped off the filial piety were burning, screaming and rolling to the ground.
To be exact, it was their filial piety that burned, and then the invisible flame swept them in.
"Building such a serious matter as building the tomb of the human king, how can you not do it if you say it?"
Suddenly, an indifferent voice came from the sky.
Everyone's hearts sank.
In the distance, a man covered in fire screamed and roared, "The devil knows who the king of men is, why should we build a tomb for him with our lives......
"Bastard!"
The invisible man in the sky said indifferently: "If there are no strong people such as the king in front of them to fight with the big demons and fierce demons, the human race has already become the food of the demons and monsters, and even an ignorant ant ant dares to blaspheme the king of people......"
Chen Ke and the others' eyes flashed slightly.
"Uncle Zero, forget it." Suddenly, a crisp and pleasant sound sounded, and then the rain fell, dousing the flames on those who were burning.
When the rain stopped, the filial piety on those people returned to their original state and was put on them again.
The strange thing is that they who were burned and screamed before look unscarred at the moment, and everything before is like an illusion.
Or, what was burned before could be their vitality or longevity?
Those who originally thought they were going to die suddenly showed ecstasy, but they didn't dare to have any more disrespect.
The reason why the man dared to anger the mysterious man before was because he felt that he was going to die, so he was fearless.
The crisp girl's voice sounded again: "The king of people has fallen, the human race is sad, it is definitely not possible to leave, but you can give you a salary increase, originally scheduled to be one gold coin a day, but now two gold coins a day." Uncle Zero, let's pay today's salary first. ”
"Yes."
The indifferent voice from before sounded again.
Immediately after that, the sky was densely packed with dots of golden light, and those golden lights were scattered into everyone's hands, two points per person, and when they fell into their hands, they turned into two gold coins.
Chen Ke glanced at the gold coin in his hand with a little surprise, and made sure that it was real, so he put it away.
After getting the salary, and the salary was doubled, most of the people who were originally hesitant calmed down again, and the panic in their hearts also weakened a lot.
Two gold coins a day, which is already a huge salary for most people.
With such a pay, it's worth the risk.
Of course, the main thing is that now I can't leave if I want to, so I can only accept my fate.
The girl's voice came from the sky again: "Those who have killed the Golden Bee before can choose to become a guard, and the guard needs to support everywhere and cut out the danger. The guard's salary is 10 gold per day. ”
Four people immediately came out of the hillside with a look of surprise on their faces.
Zhang Yuan and the others nearby looked at Chen Ke.
However, Chen Ke didn't seem to hear the girl's words at all, and stood motionless.
At this time, Zhang Yuan suddenly discovered that those who had killed the Golden Bee were all first-class masters.
Except for Chen Ke.
Chen Ke is just a third-rate.
Zhang Yuan was secretly surprised, but he didn't say anything, pretending not to know.
Soon, guards came to take the bodies away, to take the wounded and not dead for treatment, and to take four new guards with them.
Chen Ke and others continued to start construction.
After continuing to work, Chen Ke found that the people who had been unintentionally sheltered before were approaching him intentionally or unintentionally.
Even, Zhang Yuan always went to him when he carried soil and stones back and forth.
Chen Ke was secretly helpless, he didn't want to attract attention, but fortunately, Zhang Yuan and the others were all smart, worried that he would also go to be a guard, and he and the others had no one to shelter, so they all had tight mouths.
Finally, it's time for dinner.
Everyone received a piece of jerky and a water bag, and was taken down the mountain to rest by the leader of the engineering team.
As soon as Chen Ke and the others came down the mountain, they saw tens of thousands of people coming from the other direction, continuing their work and digging the mountain.
This time the tomb was built for the king, and I don't know how many people came.
Anyway, there are crowds of people, and there are people on several nearby mountains, either logging and clearing wasteland, or digging mountains.
Most of the invisible people in the sky have the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea, but those people do not use their abilities, but want people to dig mountains little by little.
I don't know if it's because of the ceremony, or because of something else.
After returning to the bottom of the mountain, Chen Ke and the others found that a huge square had been built under the mountain.
The square is made of one-meter-square boulders directly embedded in the ground, and they are tightly sealed.
And in this huge square, at intervals, there are toilets and other places.
It's hard to imagine that in just one day, this huge square and some simple buildings have been built.
There is also a place for Chen Ke and others to rest, a simple room for each person, and this place should be demolished at the back, because it is built very randomly.
After eating, someone came to inform that in the days to come, Chen Ke and others worked during the day and moved freely at night.
That is, six hours of work in a day.
At other times, you can move freely, but you can't leave the area that has been cleared, otherwise Hyopa will spontaneously combust and burn Shouyuan until Shouyuan is exhausted.
……
Inside a dimly lit stone house.
Chen Ke took a Gathering Spirit Pill, and then began to practice the mountain and river inner exercises.
Even if he was working here, he didn't dare to slack off, and he began to cultivate as soon as he had time to rest.
This time he cultivated, and his state was better than any other time.
Because whenever a sore muscle occurs, a wave of energy appears in the body to calm the tired muscles.
An hour had passed, and he was not tired, and the proficiency of Shanhe Nei's cultivation had actually increased by one point.
Chen Ke's heart moved, and he continued to cultivate.
When the numbness is unbearable, the proficiency has increased by four points.
And at this time, the Gathering Spirit Pill was almost exhausted.
"It's equivalent to a Gathering Spirit Pill, does it increase proficiency by four points?"
Chen Ke was slightly happy in his heart, this is not a huge progress.
Because even if you eat meat before, you can only increase your proficiency a little a day.
Now, in four hours, that's an increase of four points.
This rate of progress is even faster than when it was still the last stream.
[Chen Ke: Third-rate]

"Four o'clock a day, this should be the limit."
After all, he has to work now, and he can't just walk if he wants to, and he can't be lazy at will.
And even if you don't have to work, your body has a limit, and it is impossible to cultivate forever, so you need to combine work and rest.
"At this rate, it will be upgraded to the second rate in less than two months."
In the dark, Chen Ke lay down on the stone bed, and there was a light of hope in his eyes.
"In less than two months, I can become a second-rate master!"
