Chapter 20 Blood Debts and Blood Repayment
At night, Zhang Han lay on his back on the ground, clasped his hands behind his head as a pillow, staring at the bright stars in the night sky, and his brain was completely empty. Since coming to this Tenglong Empire for nearly half a year, he has been like this every night, he doesn't think about anything with his eyes open, but all he looked at before was the beams on the house, but now he looks at the starry sky.
"I didn't expect this place to be so deceitful, I didn't have enough to eat, and I didn't have freedom, so I wouldn't have come if I knew it. A young man about twenty years old lying next to Zhang Han vented his emotions dissatisfied.
Hearing his words, someone around immediately echoed him, and the originally quiet open space suddenly became lively.
"That's it, at the beginning, it sounded so good, five hundred dragon coins a day, food and shelter, and after this, it was no different from a slave. ”
"Their monks have always looked down on us ordinary people, in their eyes we are slaves, if I was born with spiritual roots, maybe I am better than them. ”
"I see that the entrance to the mining area is not guarded by anyone, so why don't we flee back together, even if we go hungry, it is better than in this bird place. ”
"If you don't want to be burned to ashes, stay here honestly. Zhang Han closed his eyes and replied to them lightly.
"Why will we be burned to ashes when we escape?" The young man lying beside Zhang Han turned his head and looked at Zhang Han suspiciously.
Zhang Han opened his eyes and said in a very flat tone: "There is a prohibition at the entrance, don't you feel the fluctuation of the rich fire attribute spiritual power on the red light curtain?"
"What kind of fire attribute spiritual power fluctuates? Isn't that just red light?"
As if thinking of something, Zhang Han suddenly sat up and muttered, "How is it possible?"
At this time, Zhang Han's heart was filled with countless questions, and then he asked the people around him, "Then can you feel the aura that is free between heaven and earth?"
"How can we possibly feel it, I heard that the aura can only be felt by those who have a spiritual root, and we ordinary people who were born without a spiritual root can not feel this kind of thing. Zhang Orion, can you feel the aura?"
Zhang Han nodded, affirming their question. Everyone looked at Zhang Han's eyes, full of envy.
"It seems that Zhang Orion should have a spiritual root, which is really enviable. It's just that you haven't found out you have a spiritual root for so many years, which is really strange. If you leave here in the future, you can find a clan to join in, so that you can know the method of cultivation. ”
Zhang Han smiled self-deprecatingly and sighed: "It's still a question of whether we can get out of here, and our next days will not be easy." ”
"yes, it's a question of how to get out of this bird place, and it's a day to live. ”
"With so many people digging this mine, there will always be a day when the digging will be finished, and I hope that when the Nalan family promises us five hundred dragon coins a day, we will be developed. ”
"It's too early to think about that! By the way, do any of you know what that strange ore we dig up today is? I've never seen such a magical stone. ”
Everyone shook their heads, they obviously didn't know. Zhang Han smiled and said: "That is the spirit stone, which contains extremely pure spiritual power, and after the spiritual power contained in it is consumed, it will absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and store it, and it can also be artificially injected with spiritual power." Almost all of the magic circle prohibitions will use spirit stones. ”
"Zhang Orion, how do you know this?" everyone was surprised by Zhang Han's words.
"I've seen it in a book before. Okay, it's not too early, let's go to bed, and we have to get up early tomorrow to work. ”
"Yes, let's go to sleep, if you don't sleep again, you won't be energetic tomorrow. ”
Gradually, the clearing fell silent again. When everyone fell asleep, Zhang Han tried to communicate the aura of heaven and earth again, but the result was still the same as before, unable to communicate. Although he could feel the aura of heaven and earth, he couldn't absorb the aura that was free of heaven and earth, and it seemed that he lacked a carrier.
After several attempts to no avail, Zhang Han lay on his back again, looking at the starry sky in a daze.
Although he didn't know why he could still feel the aura of heaven and earth after he had no spiritual root, maybe it was because he had cultivated and his spiritual sense was stronger than that of ordinary people, so he could feel the aura of heaven and earth. But this is finally good news, at least it shows that he is different from ordinary people, and different means that it is still possible for him to cultivate again.
Day after day, Zhang Han repeated mining, eating, and sleeping every day, and before he knew it, three months had passed. Over the course of three months, several new miners have arrived in the mine, but the total number of people in the mine has not increased much, as people die every day.
Zhang Han and many of their group also died, from more than 200 people to only about 100 people left. The cause of death was all due to a strange disease, and the symptoms were the same. And among the only 100 people left, except for Zhang Han, everyone else also had that strange disease.
After coming here for a month, some people with weak constitutions have symptoms of dizziness and weakness in their limbs, and as the symptoms deepen, they will have a high fever until their bodies can no longer bear to die. As for why they got this strange disease, no one knew, and the Nalan family did not give any answer, just let them mine every day, give them food, and even those who were sick had to continue mining.
Zhang Han now knows what Nalantai meant on the first day he came here, the so-called "As long as you keep working, five hundred dragon coins a day will not be less." "It's just empty words, because it's impossible for ordinary people to keep doing it.
What Zhang Han can think of is the magnetic mountain itself, because he has been working in such a strong place with a magnetic field for a long time, and the internal functions of his body are interfered with by the magnetic field, so he will get that strange disease. And Zhang Han is not affected by the magnetic field, which may have something to do with the fact that he has cultivated before, and his body is different from ordinary people.
In fact, even if the monks of the Jindan stage have been in this magnetic mountain for a long time, they will be affected by the magnetic field, and the reason why Zhang Han is okay is related to a red seed in his chest, but Zhang Han himself can't feel the existence of that seed.
It was another starry night, Zhang Han was still lying on his back, looking at the starry sky.
Bao Da was lying next to him, and compared with three months ago, Bao Da at this time was like two people, his eyes were dull, and his skin was a little pale. Those of them who got sick always thought that Zhang Han was okay because he had a spiritual root in his body, so he would not get this strange disease.
"Zhang Orion, you don't have this strange disease, if you have the opportunity to go out, you must go back to our Fengnan City and tell everyone not to come here. This is a cannibalistic mine, where there is no freedom, everyone is like a puppet, without their own consciousness, just working non-stop. What I want most now is to be able to eat my mother's food, but I don't have a chance. Bao Da's voice was very weak, not at all like the voice of the rugged man three months ago.
Zhang Han looked at Bao Da and the people around him looking sick, and felt very uncomfortable, after all, everyone has been together for three months, and they have affection for each other, watching the people around him fall one after another, Zhang Han hated the Nalan family more and more.
If the people of the Nalan family could let everyone leave here when everyone was just sick, maybe everyone's illness would be better, but the Nalan family not only didn't let them go, but also let them work all the time with their illness.
Zhang Han gently patted Bao Da on the shoulder and said softly: "Brother Bao, don't worry, I will definitely go out." In the future, I will use the blood of the Nalan family to pay off the debt they owe now. ”
