Chapter 51: Exploring the Way
"Hurry up and dig!" another whip, and an overseer walked to Lin Xiqi's side at some point.
Lin Xiqi hurriedly withdrew his gaze and didn't look at anything more.
In this way, Lin Xiqi stayed here for half a month.
He was scarred, there were whip marks everywhere, there were old injuries and new injuries, how many times he was whipped, Lin Xiqi couldn't remember.
In addition to the fact that the other party didn't want to let himself die so soon, Lin Xiqi knew that he could persevere, thanks to the 'Dark Ice True Scripture'.
He looked miserable, but these were skin injuries, and he could bear them.
It's just that Lin Xiqi knows that he can't stay here any longer, and if he can't escape, he will be wasted even if he doesn't die.
There are many such people in the mine, they were originally from the rivers and lakes, and their martial arts were also good, but they were crippled not long after they came here, and once they were crippled, they wouldn't live long.
The battle for the position of the boss in the small courtyard has gone through several rounds, you have come and gone, many people have died, and some new prisoners have been added in the middle.
In this way, Lin Xiqi can be regarded as an old man here.
Those stinky buns, Lin Xiqi did not refuse, some of them are very good to eat here, even if they are not full, if they don't eat, they can't live.
wanted to escape, but Lin Xiqi couldn't find any chance, he comforted himself to be patient, waiting for the opportunity, there must be a chance.
It's a pity that there are too few such opportunities, otherwise there would not be very few people who escape from here.
In the past half a month, Lin Xiqi has been practicing the 'Dark Ice True Sutra', and now his true qi is at least three times stronger than half a month ago.
Although he had not yet broken through the second 'strong ice realm', Lin Xiqi felt that he was missing an opportunity.
The next day, it was still dawn and the work began.
At noon, Lin Xiqi was alarmed by a noise.
He looked up and saw a group of men heading down a road between them and into the depths of the mine.
"Yo, and women. ”
"Tut-tut, little girl, she looks less than twenty years old, she looks smart, come here, uncle loves you well. One of the prisoners laughed loudly.
The man who spoke up was immediately whipped by an overseer, but he didn't seem to care about it, and still laughed incessantly.
It wasn't until the other two overseers came over and kicked him to the ground, punching him several times that the man fell silent.
Lin Xiqi could see that these people did not look like prisoners, they were not very old, they should be less than twenty years old, a total of thirteen people, ten men and three women.
All of them have extraordinary temperaments, and they are definitely not ordinary people in the rivers and lakes.
From the mouths of these people around him, Lin Xiqi probably understood something.
These thirteen people were the top ranked in this junior group competition, and they chose to enter the Dead Silence Mountain to temper.
There are all kinds of exotic grasses, some magical spirit beasts, and most importantly, some of the places where the ancestors of the past generations have lived in seclusion.
Once you find these hermitages, most of you can get the inheritance, exercises, pills, and divine weapons of those predecessors, depending on your luck.
In history, there are many people in the rivers and lakes who have got such luck, and suddenly became a man of the year from an unknown junior.
Therefore, many people in the rivers and lakes bet their last hope on the Dead Mountains because the enemy is too strong or too powerful, and they will enter it at the cost of their lives to find the last chance.
"There is a Jedi in the depths of the mine, and it is said that once inside, no one will come out alive. ”
"And these people?"
"They just want to go there to find an opportunity, of course, on the periphery of the Jedi, and even if they are on the periphery, there is a possibility of a big harvest. Every year after the competition in Dunhuang County, there will be some young people who rank high in the junior group. In addition to the benefits obtained in it, once you return to Dunhuang City, you can also get greater rewards. ”
"What's the catch?"
"Then who knows? Anyway, it's good, at least it can improve your skills, otherwise who will come here to practice?"
"How long are they here?"
"It's usually not more than a month, it's very dangerous inside, and people often die in it. And in the middle of the year, it can only be entered from mid-July to mid-August, and it is usually full of miasma and poisonous fog, so it is impossible to enter at all. ”
"Tsk, it's a pity if that little girl dies inside, isn't it good to be with Uncle Ben?
The surrounding miners were talking.
Most people are still talking about the three women, and for them, this is the time to meet them.
Lin Xiqi listened to these words in his ears, and his heart moved.
In his opinion, this is a good time for him to escape from the mine, and of course it is a dead end.
Since there is a Jedi in the depths of the mine, I am afraid that the guards over there may not be so tight, Lin Xiqi has decided, he will put it to death and come back to life.
"I'll go explore the road in the evening. Lin Xiqi made up his mind and said.
That night, after everyone around him had fallen asleep, Lin Xiqi cautiously slipped out of the small courtyard and headed towards the depths of the mine.
The number of overseers around is not too large, it is already late at night, and most of them are dozing off.
The prisoners of the Chiyan Mine basically did not dare to make trouble, and there had been no incident of prisoners daring to kill the overseers and escape for several years.
So, the overseers gradually didn't care much about it.
Anyway, there are still many guards on the perimeter, and it is impossible for these prisoners to escape.
Everything was going well, Lin Xiqi had already set foot in the depths of the mine that he had not entered all these days, and the road had been stretching, and after walking for half an hour, he found that the road was beginning to move towards a peak in front of him.
"Are you going up the mountain?" Lin Xiqi frowned, and said secretly in his heart.
Just then, there was some noise ahead.
Lin Xiqi hurriedly hid his figure in the shadow of the trees.
He looked and saw that there were two guards at the intersection up the hill.
"Looks like the guards are pretty tight. Lin Xiqi didn't move here.
He squatted here for more than an hour, and discovered the pattern of these guards changing guards, about half an hour, and they were all guarded by two people.
And the strength of these two people, Lin Xiqi found that he should be able to deal with it reluctantly, of course, this is a sneak attack.
Because if you can't kill the two of them in one blow, there is a guarded camp not far away, and it is easy to attract more guards, and then you will be dead.
It's been more than two hours since I came out, and it's almost dawn, and Lin Xiqi knows it's time to go back.
Today I just came to explore the way, and only after I figured out the terrain and the situation of the guards could I make a plan to escape.
For the next three days, Lin Xiqi sneaked out late at night, he carefully explored other directions, and finally found that there was only one way to go up the mountain, and if you wanted to go out from there, there was only one way up the mountain.
As for what is on the mountain, Lin Xiqi doesn't know, it should be the Jedi in these people's mouths.
