Chapter 33: Brothers Go Together
This kind of ore needs to be polished off the outer skin, and the inside is the real spirit stone. There are large and small spirit stones, and the miners have to polish the spirit stones into the size and shape they usually use.
Walking before living again, the mine cave suddenly divided into three, with a hole on the left, middle and right.
Zhou Yang and his team were taken to the end of the mine on the left.
There are already hundreds of people mining in the huge pit, and there is also a team of ten people, both cultivators and mortals, in a mixed ratio of one to ten. Some are responsible for digging ore with sharp tools, some are responsible for cleaning up the loose ore that has been excavated, and some are responsible for transportation, and the final grinding process should not be here.
Zhou Yang's team is responsible for digging ore, and it is also the most tired team. The captain has no special treatment here, and he has to take the lead.
The Xuanfu Sect assigned a task to each team, and ten caravans of spirit ore must be mined every day, and if the task is not completed, it will be severely punished, and there will be a reward for overcompletion. Zhou Yang didn't think about the excess, as long as he wasn't fined. When they arrived, they didn't know what the heavy punishment was, but just looking at the way those miners sweated and worked hard, they must have been unbearable.
What was assigned to Zhou Yang's hand was a low-grade magic weapon, similar to a giant sword, but the hilt was very large and long, he held the middle, and the four mortals held both sides. He is responsible for injecting Yuan Force into the magic weapon, and then hitting the mine wall. The long sword has a single function, and with the blessing of Yuan Li, its sharpness and hardness can be increased several times. Under the strong blow of the long sword, the ore fell in a row, and then a few other mortal team members sorted out and boarded the car.
At first, Zhou Yang was still very curious about the excavation process of the spirit stone. But within a few days, this curiosity was consumed by thousands of repetitive labors.
There are guards and supervisors in the mine, and the slightest neglect will be reprimanded at least and whipped at worst. This boring and hopeless toil, day after day, has no end.
Not only that, but there is also competition between dozens of mixed squads, and there will even be incidents of snatching spirit ore, which are constantly contradictory to each other. Mortal slaves are fine, just beating their heads and bleeding. However, the battle between the leaders of the Xiunu squad is life and death. The guards in charge of the order of the mine turned a deaf ear to this, and let it go, as long as they did not use the blade magic weapon, and did not make a big incident, they would turn a blind eye and close one eye. Their duty seems to be to prevent the escape of the miners and to ensure the number of miners.
Everywhere, newcomers are used to bully.
The first few days were okay, Zhou Yang and several other newcomers mined day and night, and barely completed the task. However, within a few days, a team of three carloads of spirit ore was robbed, and it was two to one, and the two cultivators beat the rookie team leader half to death, which was really too bullying!
The rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the other rookie captains couldn't stand it anymore, so they wanted to help. However, the old captains seemed to be more united, and they rushed over with a hula, surrounding several people in the middle.
Zhou Yang stopped digging the magic weapon, wiped a handful of sweat, and frowned deeply. The mortal miners beside him also clenched their fists.
"A few shitty things, it's against you, are you looking for death?" The head cultivator had a beard on his face, glared at the bull's eye and reprimanded, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
Before, it was he who broke several ribs of the newcomer, causing him serious injuries, and this person was also famous among the nurs.
Several rookie squad leaders were surrounded, at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, and they were intimidated by this person, and they couldn't help but feel afraid.
"The same mine cultivators, the situation is already extremely miserable, do you still treat your fellow Daoists like this, do you really do it?" a fair-looking young man asked angrily.
"Don't tell Lao Tzu this, are you a rookie in the cultivation world, do you understand the law of the jungle, don't you understand what Lao Tzu teaches you!" scolded the bearded man, and at some point there was an extra stone in his hand, and he threw it at the white young man.
This young man's cultivation was also in the Kaiyuan Ninefold Realm, and his reaction was naturally not slow, and he grabbed the stone with his hand and threw it back again.
"Damn, dare to fight back! Brothers, cripple these for Lao Tzu!" The bearded man was furious, struck down the stone with a wave of his palm, and a flame condensed in his hand, and rushed towards the crowd first.
More than a dozen people behind him also rushed forward, each using their own means to launch a siege, and the frightened mortals hurriedly avoided it.
"This lord, if you continue like this, it will definitely cause a catastrophe, please hurry up and stop it!" Zhou Yang threw down the magic weapon and said loudly to the guards.
Several guards glanced at him with disdain.
"You!" Zhou Yang's heart was nameless, his sense of justice exploded instantly, and he completely forgot the law of the cultivation realm of the weak and the strong, and self-preservation, and said angrily: "Newcomer brothers, if you don't want to be bullied by those bastards, rush with me!" With that, the wind was blowing under his feet, his palms shook together, and two flames rose, rushing straight towards the crowd of people in the melee.
"Boy, you're looking for death!" The bearded man had already noticed Zhou Yang, and when he saw him rushing over, he quickly popped out the flames in his hand, aiming directly at Zhou Yang's door.
Zhou Yang greeted him with fire, and with a sound of "boom!", four flames collided and suddenly exploded, radiating several zhang square.
The robes of the two were also ignited, but they ignored it, and before the flames were gone, they slapped each other.
"Bang!"
The palms intersected, and the sound of an explosion sounded, Zhou Yang was shocked back three steps, and the flames of his whole body were all extinguished.
"You!" The bearded man took seven or eight steps back, his eyes wide and staring at Zhou Yang fiercely.
His cultivation was also at the peak of Kaiyuan, but he was much older than Zhou Yang, but he didn't expect that his strength was inferior to the other party, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Zhou Yang himself was also a little surprised, he originally thought that with the help of the elixir to quickly improve his cultivation, Yuan Li should not be so strong, but today's palm gave him a surprise, and he couldn't help but increase his confidence.
The bearded man's eyes rolled, and he turned his head and shouted, "Big head, two sets, come here!"
However, before his words fell, Zhou Yangling's palm wind arrived again.
"Boy, you!" The bearded man didn't expect the other party to be indifferent, and he didn't say anything about it, and he didn't say anything ambiguous, he was really a ruthless character. He didn't dare to slack off, and he also swung his fists to meet it.
"Bang bang bang!" After four consecutive palms, the corners of his beard and mouth were bleeding and flew away.
Zhou Yang stepped forward, and the power of the empty Xuan palm struck out again, ready to give him a profound lesson.
"Whew!" However, at this moment, two flames struck one from the left and one from the right, as fast as the wind.
Helpless, Zhou Yang had no choice but to retreat, and at the same time split his palms and scattered the two flames.
"Big head, two sets, kill him for him!" said the bearded face turned blue, wiped the blood from his mouth, and said fiercely.
"Don't worry, big brother, I'll let him know what life is better than death in a while!" The big head stared at Zhou Yang, Yin*.
"Do you want to be embarrassed! You want to fight in a group, don't you? Okay, newcomer brothers, let's go together!" Zhou Yang shouted, but there was no movement, he glanced away, and his nose was almost crooked. Not only did the rookie captains not rush to help in the battle, but they dug up the ore with their heads bored!
"Hahahaha!" Big Head and Erset looked at him like idiots, and couldn't help but laugh.
"I'll make you laugh!" Zhou Yang was extremely angry, shaking his palms together, and the power of his empty palm slapped towards the two of them with a strong wind.
"Cheap breed looking for death!" The big head dodged sharply, avoided the palm wind, and slammed his fist at Zhou Yang's door.
The second set let go of the palm force, and kicked Zhou Yang's lower abdomen with flying feet.
At this moment, the beard also leaned in, and he didn't make a move, but attacked Zhou Yang with stones.
The three Kaiyuan peak cultivators beat him alone, and Zhou Yang immediately fell behind. Fortunately, his six senses are wide open, his perception is very strong, and his body speed is extremely fast, and he has repeatedly avoided punches and kicks and stones that fly over from time to time, although he has no power to fight back, he can also parry.
However, as time passed, his Yuan Force gradually ran out, and although he tried his best, he was also restrained everywhere, and he had already received several heavy blows on his body.
The corners of Zhou Yang's mouth were bleeding, and he gritted his teeth stiffly. Desperately suffering a heavy blow to the head, he slammed the second set away with a wave of his palm, causing it to blood on the spot.
The beard was startled, but he took advantage of the situation to attack Zhou Yang from behind with his flame technique.
Although the primary flame technique cannot cause death in one move, if it is burned on the body, it will also open the skin and flesh, and it will be difficult to heal from serious injuries.
As soon as Zhou Yang made a heavy blow, he heard the sound behind him, and then the heat wave hit his body, and he was horrified, and before he could think about it, he fell to the ground.
Two flames roared against his back, tearing down his robe and flesh behind him.
Zhou Yang pinched his teeth in pain, but he didn't dare to slack off, one turned over and rose into the air, and two flames shot out casually, as fast as lightning, straight to his beard.
Seeing Zhou Yang fall down, he was about to step forward, but he didn't expect him to suddenly burst out, and he used his own way to treat his body, and he burst into flames in an instant, and was suddenly hit by one of them in the lower body, and immediately burned.
"Ah......h
Zhou Yang didn't care to see where he was injured, and urgently avoided the two punches of the big head, but he was hit by two sets of kicks that came back, and he was kicked in the back firmly, and opened his mouth to spew out a bloody arrow, and the injury was not light.
At the same time, the second battlefield was one-sided.
More than a dozen people besieged six, and after a short time, two newcomers were seriously injured, and the rest were also knocked to the ground.
At this time, the white pure youth was hit by two flames, and his whole body was on fire, although he desperately pounced and forced the flames outward with Yuan Force, but as soon as he extinguished part of it, several more flames attacked, and his whole body was suddenly surrounded by flames again. It didn't take long for the cave to smell of burnt human flesh.
In the end, the white young man was burned alive, leaving only a small piece of ashes.
And several others are also in danger.
"Stop, stop!" Seeing this scene, several guards did not dare to watch from the wall anymore, and quickly rushed over.
If there were a lot of casualties that affected ore mining, they couldn't explain it.
No one dared to challenge the authority of the mine guards, and everyone stopped. But before an old nun stopped, he took the opportunity to kick the newcomer who fell to the ground with his foot, and the kick hit the injured place, and the person who hurt screamed again and again.
The captain of the guard was furious, the long sword was unsheathed, and in the midst of the sword, the old cultivator's head flew up, and a fountain of blood erupted from the broken neck.
Everyone was shocked, hurriedly retreated, bowed their heads and stood, not daring to move again.
The same goes for the big head and the second set.
The beard covered his lower body with Yuan Li and slapped the flames clean. But judging from his pale face, the flame must have burned hard, and it is difficult to say whether his life will be saved. He gritted his teeth and glared at Zhou Yang viciously, and stood aside unwillingly.
Zhou Yang naturally didn't touch the guard's moldy head, dusted off his torn robe, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stood still.
