Chapter 119: I'm going to dig coal
The ferocity of the fire quickly spread to the entire floor of the Sleepy God Tower, and the cell where Li Xiao and the others were located was surrounded by flames, and the prisoners poured out like a tide under the guidance of the officials.
Soon, the prisoners in Li Xiao's cell were accused of arson by the angry warden and sent to the third floor of the Trapped God Tower.
The third floor of the Sleepy God Tower is completely different from the first floor, it is not so much a prison cell, but a small world, the moment you enter the cell, everyone sees a black wall that reaches into the sky towering on the vast grassland, this wall is huge, there is no end in sight, almost endless, human beings are as small as ants in front of it.
More than a dozen prisoners stood on the grassland, looking up at the almost invisible peaks, their expressions shocked, and one prisoner couldn't help but tremble: "This ...... This is the rumored coal mountain!"
"Coal Mountain?" Hong Qi wondered: "This is clearly a wall!"
"It's really a mountain. Chunqiuzi walked to the front of the team and sighed: "It's just that it's too big, giving people the illusion that it's a wall!"
"It's a mountain!" and one of them asked, "What is this place, and why is there a mountain here?"
"Stop talking nonsense!, hurry up!" a black-faced jailer next to him shouted impatiently.
As they approached the foot of the mountain, they saw prisoners fetching water near the river, almost all of them carrying a bamboo building stained with charcoal on their backs, their faces black and thin, and their clothes were also black, as if they had just come out of a coal cave.
It is worth noting that there is a jade plaque suspended above the heads of these people, most of whom are engraved with the word "Ying", and many of them are engraved with the word "Huang", and there are very few engraved with the word "Emperor".
"These people are all people who have passed the dungeon test and obtained the title!" Li Xiao glanced at the prisoners by the stream, shocked in his heart, and the officials who escorted them also had a jade plaque suspended above their heads, that is, the warriors who had obtained the title! This means that the people who can enter here must all be elite powerhouses with the title of Hero, Human Emperor or Great Emperor.
Until now, he hadn't seen anyone without a jade plaque on his head, which meant that the people who had won the title in the dungeon were likely to have been caught here! And a few martial artists like them who were entertained in the martial arts arena were lucky enough to escape, but they couldn't leave the killing realm, and eventually became either jailers or soldiers.
Thinking about the key to this, Li Xiao was even more curious about this place, who gathered these elites here, and what was the purpose?
Crossing the stone bridge, everyone came to a crowded thatched house, where about thirty or forty people gathered, all of them facing the sky in black, besieging the city in a circle, staring intently at a white-haired and blue-robed old man standing on a boulder, with a jade plaque engraved with the word "Huang" suspended above the old man's head, who was a titled human emperor.
The old man held an account book in his hand, glanced down, and looked at everyone: "A bricklayer in District A!"
"I'm a brick mover by nature! I'm still a title emperor!" a middle-aged man with an imperial plaque on his head raised his hand frantically and jumped, trying to make the other party notice his presence.
"Give me! Give me!!I am also the Emperor of the Title! I have a wealth of experience in moving bricks!" an old monk shouted hysterically.
"Get out of the way of the poor nun!" a yellow monk hat and yellow shirt old nun screamed heart-rending in the crowd, "Get out of the way!
When everyone heard this, they fell down in an instant, which of them didn't come here to fight for a place in the job, this old nun is good, and he struggled desperately in the crowd like them, just to see the muscular man.
Zhang Shanfeng is very proud, because he has a rough face, a curly beard, and an enviable perfect muscle, relying on this muscle, he has found a lot of good jobs in the coal mountain, and has become a middle-level worker that everyone envies.
Today, however, he was terrified of his muscles, and the old nun who came out of nowhere stared at him, to be precise, was staring at his muscles! Seeing the other party's appearance of wanting to swallow him alive, he was terrified to the extreme.
If the other party was just an ordinary old nun, he would have shot away a long time ago, but this nun is a titled emperor! Oh my God! This is the strongest of the strong! I am the title of the human emperor, don't look at the infinite scenery in the eyes of the heroes, but in front of the titled emperor, even lifting the toe of the shoe is not worthy!
"It's over!" Zhang Shanfeng's face was like ashes, he didn't want to be the face of Lao Ni, in case she made excessive demands, would he have the courage to refuse?
Just when Zhang Shanfeng was worried, a black-faced strong man came from behind the crowd, he saw Lao Ni blocking the middle of the road, raised his hand and slapped her out, and then said to the man standing on the boulder: "Senior, I am the Title Emperor!
As soon as they heard the words of the Titled Emperor, everyone reflected, and they all looked at him in awe, and the old man standing on the boulder nodded to the strong man and said: "Since you are the Titled Emperor, you are naturally more qualified for this job than these people!"
"Thank you, senior!" the strong man excitedly grabbed the flying jade plaque, stared at the bull's eye, and left arrogantly under the awe-inspiring gaze of everyone.
"Damn bastard! dare to hurt the poor nun!" The old nun who was beaten away rushed towards the departing strong man with a sword, and the other party only then realized that the old nun was also a titled emperor, and his pupils contracted at the same time, and he ran away.
"The poor nun is injured! you have to support the poor nun for the rest of your life!" Lao Ni's domineering words rang in everyone's ears, and everyone was a spirit.
Seeing the two chasing away, everyone secretly pinched their sweat, this old nun with the title of the emperor is too terrifying, next time you go out, you must wear more, you have to walk around when you meet a nun.
"Cave No. 30 in District B, a coal digger!" the old man standing on the boulder looked down at the account book and said loudly.
"I'm a Titular Hero with a Strength Bonus!"
"I, my lord, I, I, I am a master of coal digging!"
Everyone resumed their state of looting again, and Li Xiao and other rookie prisoners who saw the situation clearly also joined the battle for work under the instructions of the jailer.
Judging from the popularity of everyone's scramble, Li Xiao knows that this coal mountain is divided into: A, B, C, D, four major districts, each district has hundreds of caves, District A is the best, and District D is the worst, of course, good caves are generally given to people with high titles, like them, the lowest-level titled heroes, are all ranked at the end of the district, even at the end, there are good and bad, it depends on what the attribute bonus of the titled hero is, the strength attribute is the most popular, the martial arts are second, and the speed is the worst.
"Cave No. 36 in District B, one stone prospector!" the old man read out loudly, and as soon as Li Xiao heard that it was District B, he immediately learned from the performance of everyone before, stood in the crowd and raised his arms and shouted: "I, I, I! I am a speed hero, and I am the most suitable for long-distance travel!"
Sensing that something was wrong, he stopped his movements, looked around in confusion, and saw that everyone was swarming back in panic, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he knew that he had been pitted!
"Congratulations to this brother!" the old man threw a jade plaque to Li Xiao like a hot potato, "In the future, you will be the second master of the No. 36 Cave Mansion,"
"Second place?" Li Xiao was stunned, "Could it be that there is another person in the cave besides himself?"
"Not bad. The old man's jaw headed, "The excavation and exploration of the coal mountain are all two people working together, if you find a large amount of coal and stone, you can invite multiple people to dig in a team, no more than six people!"
"I see!" Li Xiao suddenly asked; What should I do with the excavated coal?"
The old man was not impatient with his question, but answered in detail: "The excavated coal must be handed over to the exchange office, and after handing it in, you will get a certain amount of contribution points, which can be exchanged for elixirs, game props, system points and other items!
"Okay! get the jade plate and go to your own cave, as a newcomer, there are still many things to learn!" the old man said, looking down at the account book again, "District C......"
Li Xiao stopped the old man's words, did not continue to ask, and did not go to his own cave, but waited for Xu Yaoshi, Xifu, Southern Enemy, and Hong Qi to go to the Coal Mountain Cave Mansion with them after they all got the jade plates, the so-called cave mansion is those dense anthill-like caves on the mountain wall.
Walking up the coal mountain along the smooth stone steps, it didn't take long for the five people to come to the No. 188 cave in the Ding District, and the cave with the stone door closed in front of him was Hong Qi's cave, and before he entered the door, he warmly invited Li Xiao and a few people: "My cave has arrived, everyone comes in and sits in the ......."
As he spoke, he pushed open the stone door, and then the whole person froze.
A few people raised their eyes and swept away, but in the brightly lit room, a slender black-haired figure was slowly fading her red dress, revealing smooth fragrant shoulders.
"Haha! Since Brother Hong is so hospitable, we're welcome......" Nan Di said, raising his feet and about to walk in, but seeing Hong Qi laughing, "Haha! I sent it!" After speaking, a strong step ran in, quickly closed the stone door, inserted the latch, and no longer cared about a few people outside the door.
"This oblivion bastard!" The southern enemy pushed the stone door and found that it was bolted, and his teeth itched with anger, so he had no choice but to leave in a huff.
Soon after.
"Haha! I sent it!" In front of the No. 8 Cave Mansion in District C, the southern enemy laughed wildly and rushed to the weak back of the Fuqin in the cave.
"Haha! I sent it!" the old woman grinned and quickly pulled the West Poison into the cave.
"Haha! I sent it!" the two old monks smiled and brought Pharmacist Xu into the cave.
"Haha! I'm ......" Li Xiao stood in the cave, looking at the woman in the purple dress who slowly turned around, and was overjoyed in his heart, when he saw the other party's bearded and rough face, it was really bad.
Gently closing the door, Li Xiao squeezed out a trace of an ugly smile, and hugged his fist at the bearded girl who looked sideways: "Old man Li Qing, he is a newcomer who just came here, and I will ask my sister to take care of me in the future." ”
