There was nothing but a bed, a table, and a chair. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info old and new slaves combined, more than 200 people lived in a large room like a sheepfold.

Soon after the slaves returned to their quarters, several yokai carrying large wooden barrels came.

He put the barrel on the ground and shouted, "It's time to eat." ”

The human slaves, who were already hungry with their backs on their stomachs, rushed to surround them.

The leading monster shouted viciously: "What a squeeze, the starving ghost is reincarnated! ”

The youkai grabbed a wooden bowl from a large wooden barrel, scooped a spoonful of gooey with a wooden spoon into the bowl, and handed it to the person in front of them.

Bai Xiaojian also got a bowl.

There was no light in the bamboo building, he couldn't see what was in the bowl clearly, and it was difficult to swallow just by smelling the strange smell.

Seeing that there was a person beside him, he looked like he was still unsatisfied after eating all the bowls, so he simply gave him his own bowl.

The man took it, and without thanking him, he poured the bowl of something he didn't know what it was.

Bai Xiaojian curled up alone in the corner of the wall in a silent daze, he didn't feel sad, but tears couldn't help but flow down his cheeks.

Suddenly, a wooden bowl was handed over to him, and the strange-smelling food in the bowl was still full and had not been touched.

"Little baby, you better eat some, otherwise you will starve to death. ”

Bai Xiaojian turned his head.

It was dark in the room, and I couldn't see the man's face clearly, but I could tell by the sound and appearance that the man must be very old.

"Grandpa, I'm not hungry. You eat it. ”

Worship the little sword and say politely.

"I'm a dying person, it's the same whether I eat this bowl or not, you're young, and you still have a long way to go. ”

Bai Xiaojian's heart was moved.

But he still shook his head, "Thank you, old man, for your kindness. But I'm not really hungry. ”

The man sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"It's so hard to live......"

At night, Bai Xiaojian casually found a bed where no one slept and lay on his back.

The snoring around him was like thunder, but his thoughts were spinning, and he couldn't sleep.

Suddenly, I heard a cough in the darkness.

At first, Bai Xiaojian didn't care, but gradually, the cough became more and more urgent, and even evolved into a painful gasp.

Bai Xiaojian, who was already upset, couldn't lie down even more.

Following the voice, I walked over in the dark.

He sat at the head of the man's bed, and saw him alone in the darkness, struggling to breathe, and a sadness swelled in his heart.

Reaching out to hold the man's cold hand, he asked with concern, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

The man's voice was hoarse, "I...... I'm going to die......"

Bai Xiaojian's heart was cold, but he was relieved: "You may just be infected with the wind cold, it's not that serious." ”

"Are you...... The one who doesn't eat...... Little baby. ”

Bai Xiaojian came back to his senses, and the person lying on the bed was the old man who had left the contents of his bowl for him to eat.

Bai Xiaojian nodded and said, "Grandpa, don't think nonsense, you will be fine as soon as the morning dawns." ”

"I ...... in my heart There are ...... , Grandpa I...... A lot of age...... It's nothing to die, pitiful...... Pity you for being so young, but you don't know how long and how long you will suffer here!"

Bai Xiaojian was said to have hit the headache, and there was silence for a while.

It was just that the old man's hand was held tighter, as if to pass on his own life to him.

"Little baby...... I have something for you. ”

The old man said, tremblingly and took out a palm-sized "iron piece" from his bosom

。

"This thing...... It's me last year from ...... Excavated from a crack in the stone. I don't know...... What is this. I look at it...... The engraving on the surface is beautiful...... Perhaps, it was a fragment of a magic weapon used by the immortals, so ...... It's been hidden. Right now...... I'm going to die, and it's useless to keep it...... I'll give it to you......"

After the old man said this, he stopped breathing, and the whole person was as quiet as if he was asleep.

Bai Xiaojian knew that the old man had gone to ...... He sat at the head of the bed and stood stunned for a long time, feeling the old man's arm gradually become cold, and withdrew his hand.

"This thing is a piece of the old man's heart, he is gone now, whether this thing is useful or not, I will keep it in the future. ”

Bai Xiaojian thought to himself.

And then from the old man's hand the "iron piece"

Pulled out and hid in his arms.

Feeling the darkness, he returned to his bed, still lying on his back, his mind flying.

I don't know how long it took, but I finally couldn't get through the sleepiness and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, when the morning light was still faint, the demon clan Luo Yu drove the human slaves to the construction site.

Gusts of yin wind blew from the Spirit Clan's territory north of the city walls, setting off a misty haze like a rolling white wave.

The human slaves were ragged and shivering in the cold wind.

The temperature in Wushan is very abnormal.

It's still warm as spring during the day, but when night falls, it's as cold as an ice cellar.

It wasn't until the sun rose and dispelled the white mist that it gradually warmed up.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Not long after the white fog cleared, a loud sound like a muffled drum and rolling thunder came from nowhere.

The overseer's demons began to look nervously to the north.

The strange loud sound was getting closer and closer, and even the mountain under his feet was faintly trembling.

At the end of the plain, a gray shadow slowly climbed up from the horizon.

Bang Bang Bang!

The little demon on the observation deck sounded the alarm bell desperately.

The demon clan Luo Yu who came in a hurry opened a formation on the city wall and waited for it.

The little demon who oversaw the overseer hurriedly drove the human slaves, climbed over the city wall, and evacuated to safety.

Bai Xiaojian was sandwiched in the crowd, and there was something wrong in his heart.

Thinking back to the encounter on the Shuangxia Front, the humans, who are usually sanctimonious, completely ignore the life and death of laborers, and even these ugly-looking demon clans are inferior.

The gray shadow's movements seemed sluggish and slow, but in fact they were surprisingly fast.

In a few moments, he had come to the foot of the city wall.

As he fled among the slaves, he passed a ruined wall.

He turned his head curiously, and peered through the broken hole in the wall to see a large piece of ooze slowly moving towards him.

On top of the city walls, the leader of the huge youkai in armor was stamping back and forth, like a beast in a cage.

Suffering from being trapped in an iron cage, he couldn't threaten the enemy, and he cursed in his mouth.

"It's this abominable filthy spirit again! ”

The leader of the demon clan looked at the few fortifications that had not yet been repaired, and frowned and shouted urgently, "Enchantment Master, Enchantment Master!"

"Chief. ”

Three demon clans dressed in robes and different appearances came over in response.
