Ye Chen carried the shovel into the mine cave and walked towards the depths of the cave. I didn't take many steps, and I saw two twelve- and fourteen-year-old miners in linen in front of me, each carrying a heavy basket and one or two hundred catties of black iron ore, panting out of the hole.

The two little miners were unkempt, their faces were covered with black black iron powder, their bodies were emaciated, and their shoulders were a little weak and shaky.

Ye Chen glanced at them and turned sideways.

The two little miners bowed their heads and carried the black iron ore out of the cave.

Soon, there was a plea from outside the mine.

Ye Chen had just entered the cave and heard it clearly.

"A few prison heads, can you give me more food!

Several prison chiefs guarding outside the mine shouted and scolded loudly, and whipped them fiercely, "Damn, two little mine slaves are so lazy to dig such a little ore, and they dare to ask for more food." Get out, get out of the hole, mine the stones, and dare to make trouble and kill you!"

Syllable!

Syllable!

The shrill sound of a whip breaking through the air sounded.

The two miners hurriedly begged for mercy, and the beaten escaped into the mine, only to avoid the whipping of the head of the prison outside. The two of them had several whip marks on their bodies, their beaten skin peeled open, and they held two bags of dried food wrapped in lotus leaves in their arms, and looked at the overseer outside the mine with hateful red eyes.

Ye Chen glanced back, and anger appeared in his heart.

These overseers are really ruthless. These miners dig hundreds of catties of raw ore, and they can only exchange for a bag of dry food, which has to be deducted from it.

However, now is not the time to move them.

He knew almost nothing about the situation in the Nanhu Xuaniron mining area.

The chief director, chief foreman, and chief guard captain in the Nanhu mining area are almost all in groups. They obeyed the orders of the upper echelons of the Tianxu Sect, and secretly colluded with Feng Zhongjie, the second-generation true disciple of the Immortal Sect, which was not reliable and could not be used.

But in this mining area, there is still a force that is not the same as those prison heads.

This force is thousands of mine slaves.

He could have set aside the head of the director and the chief foreman and a group of people, and started from among the miners to find someone who could be used.

It would not be too late for him to spend a few days figuring out the situation in the entire mining area, and then he would start to clean up Director You's group.

He has been the head of the Nanhu mining area for only two years, but he will not sit back and wait for others to deal with him.

"It's a hemostatic drug, rub it on. ”

Ye Chen took out a small bottle of elixir ointment from his arms and handed it to the slightly older miner.

"Don't, the immortals of Tianxumen, you are in the same league as those prison heads! You want to poison me with poison!"

The older miner slapped his hands and knocked the vial of ointment to the ground, glared at Ye Chen with angry eyes, and turned to the depths of the mine.

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He was wearing the robe of the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate, and he was the same brother as the head of the outside director, the chief foreman, and the captain of the general guard. It's just that Director You and his gang are trying to figure out how to calculate themselves, and he is not in the same group as them.

Another younger miner quickly picked up the bottle of elixir ointment that had fallen on the ground, sniffed it, touched a little elixir and rubbed it on the wound on his body, and immediately felt a burst of coolness, and the wound wound that was drawn by the whip quickly stopped bleeding, and even began to heal the scar.

"Brother, this is a real elixir, but it's a fairy baby!"

The twelve-year-old little mine slave couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly caught up with the little mine slave in front.

"Is this a real elixir?"

The slightly larger little miner glanced back at Ye Chen suspiciously.

The little miner, who was slightly older, saw that one of his brother's wounds was healing rapidly, and he had to believe it. I was shocked why Ye Chen gave such a good baby to two little mining slaves. In this cave, such treasures are even more precious than food, and the miners can fight for such treasures.

"This elixir ointment is very rare in the mines, and it can be used to save lives when it is critical. Save on it!"

The slightly larger mine slaves didn't use much elixir ointment, and carefully hid the elixir ointment.

"Thank you Immortal Elder for the medicine, just now the little slave was rude in anger! I don't know what the immortal chief is called?"

The slightly older miner's eyes changed when he looked at Ye Chen, he was full of gratitude, and bowed down.

Ye Chen was slightly surprised, how could the little mine slave still have these mundane etiquette, and couldn't help asking, "My surname is Ye." Who are you, so young, how are you mining in this mine?"

"Our two brothers are the sons of an earl in Wanchang Kingdom, and they originally enjoyed all the glory and wealth. The kingdom of Wanchang and the kingdom of Dongzong were at war, and the city guarded by my father was breached, and our two brothers were captured as slaves. Just because the two brothers were third- and fourth-level martial artists in the body refining period, they had more strength, and they were sent to the Tianxu Immortal Gate as mining slaves. ”

"In this mining area, almost all the warriors and slaves captured by various countries are very strong in secular countries. There are even some captains and generals who were captured here to become mine slaves. The Tianxu Immortal Gate is the leading immortal sect in Yunzhou, and worldly warriors like us can only be mine slaves here. ”

The mine slave was saddened, and quickly reined in, and said, "I don't know that Ye Xian came to this mine cave for mining?"

"Well, I'll come to the mine to dig some ore and earn spirit stones! You two brothers should be familiar with this mine, can you take me around the mine to see where it is suitable for mining?"

Ye Chen said peacefully.

What he wanted to know most was the slave riot in the tunnels. However, he had only just become acquainted with the two brothers, and asking about this would make them suspicious. These things will be asked after he is familiar with the two brothers.

Ah Zhi and Ah Li looked at each other, as if they were a little worried, but they still agreed.

"Okay!"

"However, mining in the mine requires the permission of the slave head. Let's take the Immortal Chief to meet the slave head in the mine!"

The three of them walked deeper into the mine.

Ye Chen walked all the way, silently noting the topography of the mine in his heart.

The mine is quite large, and some places can accommodate more than ten people to pass. A faint spiritual light can be seen on the cave wall, so that the dim cave can barely be seen clearly.

After walking for several miles, in the mine, Ye Chen could see some old and young mining slaves from time to time.

These mine slaves were very surprised to see Ye Chen appear in the depths of the mine, and even showed fear and awe. Ye Chen was wearing the clothes of a disciple of the Heavenly Void Immortal Sect, what kind of power this meant, they couldn't have been clearer.

Ye Chen was a little strange, "Why are there only mine slaves in this mine? Those prison chiefs and foremen, they don't go down the mine?"

"They didn't dare come in at all. The miners here hate them to death, and if they dare to enter the mines, they will not be left with any bones in an hour. ”

Ah Zhi snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

"Then how do the prison bosses urge you to dig for the rocks? If you don't mine, they won't go down to the mine to supervise the work?"

Ye Chen became more and more strange.

"The prison chiefs don't have to go to the mine at all, they trade food for ore. We, the miners, dig up the ore and transport it. One hundred catties of raw ore can be exchanged for three days' rations for one person. If we miners don't work in the mines, it won't be long before we starve to death. ”

Ah Zhi showed Ye Chen the bag of dry food in his hand, gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

Ye Chen understood a little.

The three generations of disciples of the Heavenly Void Immortal Sect came here to mine, and they could exchange a thousand catties of Xuaniron ore for a spirit stone. But such a dirty and tiring work, I am afraid that the three generations of disciples are rarely willing to do it. All the way over, he didn't see three generations of Xianmen disciples working in the mine. And these miners work, a hundred catties of black iron ore can only earn a bag of dry food, dry food is worthless for the monks, which is equivalent to almost no capital.

"No wonder the Nanhu mining area will use so many warrior and mining slaves to work! There are countless large and small countries in Yunzhou, and the number of warriors is extremely huge. It's more cost-effective than letting the disciples of the Immortal Sect do it. ”

Ye Chen said secretly in his heart.

As you can see on the large map of Xianmen, Tianxu Xianmen has a large number of mining areas, capable of mining various ores. This Nanhu Xuaniron Mine is just one of them, otherwise it would not be his turn to be a third-generation disciple to come to this mining area to be the head of the mine.

Calculated in this way, the number of mine slaves in the entire Tianxu Immortal Sect is probably quite huge.

Ye Chen, Ah Zhi and Ah Li walked to the depths of the mine, and the place gradually became spacious, and a huge cave hall of thousands of zhang appeared.

The entire hall is hollowed out by mining.

Thousands of elite miners, divided into three large groups, gathered in this cave hall.

"Phew!"

"Tianluo Fist!!"

In the center of the hall, a strong and burly miner was attacking another capable miner, his fists were dense and fierce, hitting his opponent's body, and a series of muffled bones sounded.

The defeated miner flew several feet away, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and was almost destroyed.

"Good fight!"

The surrounding miners were fanatical, all of them were knowledgeable people, and they burst into cheers.

Being able to be caught working in the mining area of the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate, they are naturally not ordinary slaves.

Any stone that was smashed over could hit a group of people above the fourth or fifth level of the refining stage. The military generals of the former secular country, the wealthy families, and the powerful officials and eunuchs, because the country was defeated and captured as slaves, can only stay in this mine now.

Don't look at their rags now, they are worse than beggars, but their strength is still there, and their martial arts skills have not been wasted.

Otherwise, the riot of the mine slaves would not have made the prison chiefs and guards in the mining area very troubled. Although their martial arts skills were much weaker than those of immortal cultivators, they were still a threat to cultivators in the early and middle stages of qi refining.

However, only the strength of these warriors can dig extremely hard dark iron ore.

A worldly mortal without force can't dig up the iron ore at all. It won't be sent to this iron ore area.

The miners are fighting.

Ah Zhi and Ah Li led Ye Chen in, and soon attracted the attention of many mining slaves, looking at Ye Chen's gaze, very fierce and unfriendly. Ye Chen was dressed in the costume of a Tianxumen monk, and in this mining area where mine slaves gathered, it was impossible not to attract attention.

"What are they fighting for? Fight so hard, fight to the death!"

Ye Chen's eyes were cold, and he asked Ah Zhi.

Medicine is scarce in the mine, and serious injuries are received, which is no different from waiting for death.

"Ye Xianchang, the mining slaves here are the three most powerful mining slaves in this mining area! The mining slaves of Wanchang Kingdom, the mining slaves of Dongzong Kingdom, and the mining slaves of Yunjin Kingdom! There are hundreds of thousands of people. This is a snatch for the right to allocate this year's mines. The mines in the cave are limited, and they have to fight almost every year. If you want to enter the mine to mine, you have to agree to the slaves. ”

Ah Zhi hurriedly said.
