When you walk into the cave, the first thing you see is not a person.

Rather, it was the constant sound of coughing, whipping, shouting, screaming, and the sound of axes and chisels striking stones.

Hearing these voices, Chu Qingyu knew that her guess was wrong.

This is not a gathering place for demonic cultivators.

These people are not demon cultivators either.

It's just that although they are not demon cultivators, they are more ruthless than demon cultivators.

The missing people, the entrance to the cave guarded by monks, and the sound of ping-pong pounds coming from inside the cave.

Obviously, this is a mining cave, and it is also a black mine that captures ordinary people to come to mine.

The two guards chased after them, and Chu Qingyu's spell fell, easily knocking the two unconscious.

She looked back, and the Chen family master, who was following her from a distance, had an inexplicable look flashing in her eyes, and the Chen family master was shocked for a while.

Walking along the cave, the belly of the mountain has been hollowed out, and the inside is extremely spacious, and the view is extremely open.

Even the torches that were still lit during the day allowed Chu Qingyu to clearly see the picture inside.

Here, she saw the big men and the homeless people she had seen before.

The homeless man has chains wrapped around his feet and wields a pickaxe in his hand, chiseling at the ore again and again.

The big man stood by his side, whip in his hand.

When he saw that the homeless man was lazy, he threw a whip at him.

It's a scene like this, it's happening to everyone here.

Dozens of people who looked like vagabonds, some with shackles on their feet.

Some of them have no restraints on their bodies, but their bodies are thin and withered, their skin is sallow, and they cough a few times from time to time, and it is impossible for them to resist.

Brandishing pickaxes and chisels, these men kept knocking off piece after piece of ore.

Behind them, several shirtless men with whips in their hands, made them dare not rest and be lazy in the slightest.

Seeing Chu Qingyu and the others coming in, someone immediately shouted, "Who are you?" Why is it here? ”

At the same time as the questioning was being asked, the men had already gathered around, either with whips in their hands or wielding wooden sticks, ready to arrest them on the spot.

Chu Qingyu's gaze turned to a scar-faced man who was not far from her, sitting on a wide chair and not moving, looking at her dangerously.

He is also a person who has cultivated in his body.

I guess I'm in charge here.

After the big men surrounded them, they also looked at Scarface, as if waiting for him to decide.

Scarface waved his hand: "Since you're here, let's stay here, these two little girls will catch them alone, and the remaining two will stay here to mine." ”

Chu Qingyu smiled.

Liang Ximan and the others who followed her also smiled.

With just three or two kittens here, let alone her, even Liang Ximan can easily solve them.

Half a minute later, Chu Qingyu pressed Scarface to the ground: "Say, who are you doing things for, and where are the people here." ”

Scarface's face was full of horror, but he kept his mouth shut and refused to speak.

Chu Qingyu beckoned to the homeless man who had seen him, and the homeless man came over tremblingly.

Chu Qingyu asked, "Do you owe them money?" ”

The homeless man immediately shook his head into a rattle.

Chu Qingyu said in his heart Sure enough, if you don't pay back the borrowed money, it's just an excuse for the people here to arrest people who are afraid that things will spread and make a big fuss.

Chu Qingyu beckoned another short man who looked extremely weak.

The short and thin man was already extremely weak, and hung himself completely on his breath, and even those who were often whipped and urged to do their work avoided him when they were violently urged.

Chu Qingyu asked, "How long have you been working here?" ”

Short and thin man: "It's been half a year." ”

Half a year, it has been destroyed like this.

Chu Qingyu asked again: "Have you ever died here?" ”

The short thin man glanced at Scarface, his numb eyes fluctuated slightly, and murmured, "Dead? ”

Chu Qingyu: "Yes, have there ever been deaths here?" ”

The short, thin man suddenly laughed.

He was laughing, but more like crying.

"You should ask, how long can we live here."

Even if he was already mentally prepared, hearing his words, Chu Qingyu's heart still trembled.

"I've been here for half a year, and I've been here for the longest time."

"Half a year ago, I was caught here."

"When I came here, the next day, my brother came to me and was also caught by these people."

"On the same day, my brother took me and tried to escape, but I was found beaten half to death."

"I survived, but my brother didn't get his wound well and became infected."

"On the fifth day of coming here, I saw a man here who suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't breathe anymore."

"That was the first time I saw someone die in front of my eyes."

"But that's just the beginning."

"After that came the second dead man, the third."

"Half a month later, my brother still couldn't survive and fell here forever."

"I saw people who came here before me either die of exhaustion or die of illness before my eyes."

"Even if you are sick and cough up blood, as long as you still have qi, you must continue to work."

"There are no idlers here, and there is no need for sick people who can't work."

"I sent away one old man after another here, and soon, I became an old man here."

"Three months ago, I sent off the first person who came late."

"It was a very introverted young man who would often come to me in fear and talk about his fears and fears."

"I don't know how to comfort him, because we all have no hope, we all count the days and see how long we can live."

"I thought he was young and strong, and he could hold on for a while longer, and survive a little longer."

"But, he's gone, gone."

Chu Qingyu was silent when he listened.

After Scarface was defeated, the black absentees who stopped to peek in this direction were silent.

The other big men who fought for the tiger also didn't dare to say a word in this extremely depressing atmosphere.

The scene was a little eeriely quiet.

The mines here are so dark that they need torches to illuminate them even during the day.

But the hearts of people here are even darker, and they are so black that they can't see a little bit of their original color.

Chu Qingyu squatted down and looked at Scarface calmly.

"While I'm still talking to you calmly, tell me, who is the person behind you?"

"You are also a monk, and you should know the methods of monks."

"No matter how hard you are mouthed, I have 11,000 ways to make you speak."

Scarface shrank back in fear, and just when Chu Qingyu thought he was ready to compromise, Scarface's face suddenly showed an extreme look of fear.

Then there was a fierce flash in his eyes, and he raised his palm violently.

Chu Qingyu thought that he wanted to fight back and sneak attack, and subconsciously defended.

It's just that the next moment, the palm of Scarface's spiritual power fell on his forehead.
