The construction of the Road to Heaven in the Inner Ring is well underway, and thanks to the efforts of the desolate slaves who are stronger than the Terrans, they are being built at a much faster rate than before.

Of course, it is impossible for a thousand desolate slaves to be piled up at the front to build the road, and some will be divided into various parts of the road to transport materials and do other chores, and the Terran soldiers are also scattered throughout the road, monitoring these powerful and savage desolate slaves.

After receiving the news, Yin He came to the edge of the inner ring and the outside world, and met with Ji Hou and others who were waiting here.

Ji Hou didn't talk nonsense, and after the meeting, he sent everyone away, and when the two were alone, he went to the temple to meet the high priest, and the high priest's requirements for building the road now.

When he heard that the high priest actually asked to double the current speed of road construction, Yin He's face suddenly sank, and after glancing at Ji Hou, he was silent.

Ji Hou snorted and said, "Don't look at me like this, this is what the high priest said, and I haven't changed a word from beginning to end." ”

Yin He took a deep breath and said, "This is very difficult to do, I'm afraid I can't do it." ”

Ji Hou said a little irritably: "I also said this to him that day, but at that time, the high priest said to me with the will of the gods, only saying that this is an oracle, which cannot be changed, and must be done." What do you want me to do?"

Yin He shook his head, turned around and left, and said at the same time: "I shouldn't be able to do it, you can do it again." ”

"Hey!" Ji Hou was taken aback, grabbed Yin He, glared at him, and said with some annoyance, "You kid, you have such a big temper at a young age, and you haven't finished speaking, why are you going to flip the table?"

Yin He smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Elder Ji, it's not that I don't want to help you, I really tried my best in this matter." But the Great Elder sat in the temple of the Holy City, and said this kind of thing lightly from afar, so that those of us who were tired and tired in front of us could not do anything. ”

Ji Hou frowned, and shouted in a low voice: "Be careful!" As he spoke, he looked around and saw that there was no one left and right, so he said in a low voice: "No matter how much you want to complain, hide it in your heart, and you must not be disrespectful to the high priest verbally." ”

The high priest has a respected status in the human race, almost close to a demigod, although he does not interfere in the mundane affairs of the human race, but if he really speaks, it is basically a situation of saying his word.

Of course, Yin He also understood this truth, and sighed softly at the moment, nodded, and stopped talking.

Ji Hou pondered for a while, and then said to Yin Dao: "In this way, since the high priest has already spoken, and said that it is the will of the gods, then of course we can't disobey it." You still try your best to build roads in the Inner Ring, no matter what, you still have to try your best to repair them as quickly as possible, and you don't have to be too sympathetic to those desolate slaves, you should use them, you should use them, you should ...... Death is death. ”

Yin He was silent, his face was a little ugly, but after a while, he said in a low voice: "Since the road was built, fifty-six desert slaves have died. But if you really want to push forward desperately, first, it will be unpredictable and dangerous to go deep into the inner ring, and second, if you are too aggressive, the casualties will definitely rise significantly, and I am afraid that the death toll will probably increase tenfold. ”

Ji Hou was shocked and said, "How can there be so many?"

Yin He nodded and said, "Although it is my estimate, I think it will be almost so." Now I am also cautious and try to take care of the lives of these desolate slaves, but even so, accidents are still unavoidable, and people die almost every day. And if you go deep into the Inner Ring, the front will definitely be even more dangerous, and then ......" He shook his head with a wry smile, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You can continue to find such a desolate slave." ”

Ji Hou took a deep breath and said, "How much do you think is enough?"

Yin He thought for a while and said, "Let's have another three thousand people." ”

Ji Hou's face changed greatly, he gasped, and said, "Why do you want so many people?"

Yin Hedao: "The future is difficult and unpredictable, and I am also here to ensure that it happens." ”

Ji Hou's face was also ugly, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly "hummed", and seemed to curse in his mouth, "What kind of is this?"

Yin He didn't answer him, just stood aside.

After a while, Ji Hou nodded and said to him: "You don't care about this matter, I will arrange it, as for whether I can catch so many desolate slaves," he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It depends on luck." In short, you should build the road in there now, and try to build it as fast as possible, so that it will not be difficult for me to give an account to the high priest. ”

Yin He nodded and said, "Okay." ”

With that, he turned and left, seemingly walking back into the mysterious and dangerous Inner Ring.

Ji Hou stood behind him, looked at Yin He's back, shook his head, there was a bit of helplessness on his face, frowned and pondered for a while, and then turned around and left here.

The road to Mount Kinabalu continued to stretch forward every day, and in the sweat of the deserted slaves, and under the watch, urging, scolding, and reprimanding of the murderous Terran soldiers around them, the speed of the road began to slowly increase.

But at the same time, the number of dead people who fell on this road began to increase.

Although it is not enough to say that there are bones and bones all over the field, the corpses that are discarded on both sides of the road and then swallowed up and disappeared by this strange land still add a bit of coldness to the road.

Yin He has been leading this team with a blank face for most of the time, and the lives of those dead people never seem to be able to touch his heart, nor have they made him weaker a little. He just tried his best to do what he could, so that these desolate slaves did not die in vain, but even so, the number of desolate slaves in this team was reduced to only seven hundred and fifty after the road construction time entered the third month.

Along the way, this road to the heavens has passed through many terrains, including rivers, deep ravines, sand seas, hills and canyons that have never been experienced before, and there are also many dangers that no one has ever encountered, but the only fortunate thing is that they did not encounter a golden-blooded terrifying demonic beast like the black mantis again, so along the way, the number of casualties was actually better than Yin He expected in his heart.

Then, one day in March, the road construction team led by Yin He suddenly encountered a huge sand pit in front of them.

This sand pit occupies a huge area, and the middle is all yellow sand, if you want to bypass it, you have to turn into a huge circle, but I am afraid that the road will not be repaired in a month. Therefore, Yin He, who had no choice, could only lead everyone into this desert like being imprisoned in a big pit.

Once you enter this huge bunker, there is nothing strange and dangerous at first, but the trouble is that the sand here is very soft, and it is easy to sink into it when you step on it, let alone build a road to cross it, which is really difficult.

After discussing with several other officers for a long time, Yin He finally found a good solution, in fact, it is more appropriate to say that it is a stupid way, that is, relying on the large number of people on his side, cut down many tree branches from the forest behind him, stack them in this sand pit, lay the foundation first, and then build the road, so that the problem was solved, and the road to the mountain began to continue to extend forward.

It's just that when the road reached the middle of the huge sand pit, a gust of wind suddenly blew one day, and suddenly the yellow sand covered the sky, covering the sky and the sun, making people unable to see.

The people who finally endured the wind and sand passed, and the people who came out of the thick yellow sand to breathe suddenly froze, looking at their surroundings one by one.

The storm swept away a lot of sand, causing the sand around them to flow away, revealing something that had been buried beneath the sand.

At first, they saw a large skeleton closest to them. 8910
