Chapter 302: Underground Mining

But Fang Baiqing had already left, and he didn't hear his words at all.

The two captains walked over with hideous faces, and dragged him to the outside of the hall, and one of the captains patted his face and sneered: "Don't be afraid, but it's only two thousand three hundred knives, and I promise that I will cut it with one knife before you die." ”

Watching the three of them leave, the hall finally regained its calm, everyone was shocked by Fang Baiqing's ruthlessness, for a while, even the strong man killed dozens of slaves seemed to be nothing.

After a few moments, the remaining captains began to maintain order, directing the ordinary monks of the Weishan tribe to carry the dead slaves out of the temple for disposal.

As for the surviving slaves, they were all driven together and passed through the back door of the temple in the order of iron plates, and entered the tunnel.

It turns out that the leader of this Weishan tribe is a woman, named Fang Baiqing, but her personality looks like a very female man, fierce and ruthless, the so-called environment develops character, it seems that the tribal war in this strange place is very cruel......

Xu You thought to himself, followed the slaves in front of him through the back door of the hall, and lined up to walk towards the mouth of the tunnel, which should be the place where the mining was held.

A bearded monk stood in front of the tunnel door, with a row of dangling shovels at his feet, distributing them to the slaves in order.

He said loudly: "Each person should hand in at least two spirit stones every day, if you can't complete the task, according to the rules of the tribe, you will be punished with ten lashes, if you fail to complete the task for three consecutive days, the punishment will be doubled, and if you can't complete the task in ten days, you will be executed directly, if you still want to live well, you must work harder, if you can exceed the task, you will have the opportunity to break away from slavery and become a tribal warrior, so, for your life and hope for the future." Fuck it, damn slaves. ”

As if to verify the truth of his words, behind the bearded man, a row of dozens of wooden stakes was erected, to which a dozen scrawny slaves were tied naked and covered with scars.

Several ordinary monks of the Weishan tribe held long whips in their hands. Standing beside him with a blank face, he whipped several of the slaves hard.

The crisp sound of the leather whip falling on the skin, and the terrible screams sounded from time to time, and the faces of the new slaves turned pale and shuddered, as if they had seen their own miserable tomorrow.

Soon, as the team in front entered the tunnel, Xu You also received a shovel.

He put it in his hand and checked it, and found that the shovel was not a spiritual weapon. It has no function, just an ordinary iron made of hard material.

Among the mortal weapons, it probably belongs to the category of divine weapons, but among the spiritual weapons used by monks, it is not worth mentioning.

However, this shovel is quite heavy, about a hundred catties, if it is not a monk, even a warrior among mortals. It's also hard to bring up. And the edges are quite sharp, comparable to the edge of a sword.

He was holding a shovel. Continue to follow in the footsteps of the slave in front of you.

The bearded man glanced at Xu You in some surprise, this young slave looked very special, very calm, not at all like the other slaves who either looked desperate or numb.

It's estimated that he is a newcomer, and he still doesn't know how miserable his future life will be...... The bearded man shrugged his shoulders. Continue to distribute shovels.

The entrance to the tunnel was completely pitch black, and even if it was close, nothing could be seen, and the previous slave walked in and disappeared immediately. It's as if you're submerged in the sea.

This is the inspection ban of the Weishan tribe, and if you don't carry the identity iron tag, you will be banned and popped up immediately. At the same time, it is also possible to check if the slave has hidden any excess spirit stones.

Xu You passed through the prohibition, and a familiar trance feeling came, and then, the identity iron plate pinned to his waist flickered slightly, and then there was nothing unusual.

As soon as I walked into the tunnel, a damp and scorching breath hit my face, and the temperature rose sharply, as if I had entered a volcanic cavern, which was almost like the cool weather outside.

The tunnel continued to descend, apparently going deep underground, and as the crowd went deeper, the burning and damp sensation did not lessen, but became more and more severe.

And the most uncomfortable thing is that there is no wind in this tunnel, it looks extremely stuffy, and even breathing is not smooth.

After walking for about half an hour, the temperature inside the tunnel was already unimaginably high, and Xu You roughly estimated that it was at least sixty or seventy degrees.

No wonder it had to be mined by monks, and if it was a mortal, even if it was a strong person, he would be roasted alive without waiting to work.

And after going deep underground, Xu You also felt the slightest hint of erosion in the dirty air.

This is...... His spiritual sense moved slightly, and he quickly recognized what the source of this corrosive meaning was.

Fire poison is a kind of poison deep underground, mostly existing in volcanoes, geothermal and fire attributes are relatively strong, formless and substantial, with strong erosion.

Ordinary mortals will definitely die if they are poisoned by fire, even if they are spiritual realm monks, they can only seal the pores of their whole body, and after temporarily enduring it for a period of time, they must use spiritual power to drive away the poison, otherwise they will also die.

The conditions of this underground mining are not ordinary and sinister, no wonder those slaves' faces are either desperate or numb, Xu You thought to himself, and his spiritual sense probed into his body and activated the corpse poison ball.

Since the corpse poison ball was controlled by him, it has been automatically absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, slowly growing, and as he broke through the late stage of the soul, the poison intent of the corpse poison ball has also increased from four or five points to seven or eight points, and the toxicity is nearly ten times stronger than the original.

However, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth to grow, where can it absorb the origin of poisonous gas faster, feeling the rich fire poison contained in the air, the corpse poison ball suddenly trembled with excitement.

Without waiting for Xu You's command, it began to absorb the fire poison in the air on its own, although the two toxins were different, but they didn't know what method the Dao Corpse Poison Ball used to fuse the fire poison and strengthen itself.

In an instant, a large amount of fire poison was attracted by the corpse poison ball, and because the fire poison was formless and substantial, the slaves did not notice anything unusual except that they felt the erosion of the air suddenly decreased a lot.

After another meal, the terrain of the tunnel finally became flat, and although it was still hot and humid, the temperature no longer rose.

A large oval-shaped clearing appeared in front of it, surrounded by ore veins that had been dug out, and dozens of caves of different sizes under the black rock mountain dozens of meters high.

Before they arrived, there were already many slaves at work, and the sound of tinkling rocks was constantly coming from the depths of the cave.

The tall monk who led a group of Weishan tribes in front of him stopped, then ordered the slaves to disperse, freely chose the location to mine, and returned here after twelve hours to assemble and return to the surface to rest.

At the same time, he skillfully and quickly narrated the rules of mining, such as no fighting, no gangs, no robbery, no concealment and non-reporting, etc., so that the slaves remembered them.

The slaves scattered and searched for a suitable mining site on their own.

Xu You casually picked an inconspicuous cave and walked quickly. He hadn't thought of digging a spirit stone mine here, but being a slave could help him hide his true identity and take advantage of the depths of the ground to recover from his injuries.

As long as the cultivation is restored to the late stage of the soul realm, you can leave here, and after knowing the situation here, you can go to find the North Night Pole Palace.

Although there was a problem with the teleportation array, he was still alive, and Xuyunzi was at the peak of the Spirit Law Realm, so naturally he would be fine. Maybe the old guy was left in some nameless place, just like him.

Thinking of Xuyunzi, Xu You couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth. He was used to this old man babbling and selling cuteness beside him, and he was really unaccustomed to being alone again.

As soon as he entered the cave, he saw a dozen slaves holding shovels, sweating and raining on the dark mine wall, and the rock wall and the shovel collided with each other, making the sound of gold and iron, and from time to time sparks sputtered out.

Seeing him enter, a dozen slaves stopped moving, put down their shovels, and looked at him with hostility.

Xu You couldn't help but be stunned.

"Boy, are you in the wrong place? you're new?" a middle-aged slave who looked like a leader and was particularly strong squinted at him, and then spoke arrogantly.

Xu You was so smart, he immediately understood, what the monks of the Weishan tribe said that they were not allowed to form gangs, and they were not allowed to rob, I am afraid that they were all nonsense.

The slaves of this underground mining must also be like the gangsters, with a complex distribution of potential power, and what he inadvertently walked into should be the range of power of a slave gang, unless it is a slave within their gang, outsiders are definitely not allowed to mine here.

"I'm sorry, I'm in the wrong place, I'm sorry, I'm leaving. He immediately smiled and exited the cave.

"This new slave is very interesting, Xiaoguang, you follow him and explore the truth. The strong slave watched Xu You exit the cave, his eyes moved slightly, and he said slowly.

"Okay, head, then the oil and water on his body also belong to me?" a thin, swarthy teenager rubbed his palms and smiled.

"Whatever you want, if he can dig up the spirit stone. The strong slave didn't care about the tunnel, swung his shovel, and shoveled up the rock wall again.

The young man Xiaoguang smiled again, threw down the shovel, and walked quickly towards the entrance of the cave.

"It seems that this time there are new slaves coming, and we can relax for a while. The other slave laughed.

The other slaves also had a smile on their faces.

After Xu You walked out of the cave, he walked three places in a row, all guarded by different slave gangs, until he walked into a rather desolate cave at the end of the year, only to find that it was not occupied by people, and he was slightly satisfied in his heart, and walked towards the depths of the cave.

The young man Xiaoguang had been following him, although his actions were quite hidden, but how could he hide from him. It's just that Xu You doesn't bother to pay attention to him, so follow if you want to. (To be continued......)
