Chapter 324: Mine

“Tsk tsk, it seems that it's still too good to you, some people want to play tricks..”

As the guard said, he walked through the crowd amidst the laughter of his companions and walked in front of the bald man..

He first slowly took out a brand-new neck ring artifact and put it on the strong man, then forcibly opened his mouth and stuffed a pill into it, and then he carried the bald strong man's back and led him aside. , Tied it to the mast of the flying boat, and that handleThe dagger hangs on the side of the strong man.

Under the action of the pill, the wounds on the strong man's body healed quickly, but at this time, the dagger would automatically excite, cutting more than a dozen wounds again, and then healing again..

Under the scorching sun, a lot of sweat came out of the strong man's body, which flowed into the wound from time to time, and it was even more tingling. It was repeated so repeatedly that the strong man was tortured to death..

When the monks and prisoners saw such a scene, they all felt sad..

“You have also seen what happened to him. I advise you to be honest, otherwise, the mast is still empty! "The guard snorted coldly and threatened..

Everyone was silent, and the mortal prisoners behind them lowered their heads one after another, not even daring to take a look..

Zuo Qinghui watched all this coldly, knowing that it was just a deliberate trap set by the guards to draw out the snake and make an example..

The flying boat continued to move forward, flying over the sea from the sand. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I saw a large area of black smoke in the distance. The flying boat stopped and slowly landed on the ground..

The guards yelled, ordered the prisoners to get up, and walked off the flying boat one by one..

At the same time, they also put down the bald strong man who was dying hanging on the mast, fed him an unknown pill, and then called two prisoners to help and drag the strong man away..

What appeared in front of everyone was a bronze gate standing on a sand dune. As the guards stepped forward, the gate was rumbling open, and two foundation-building monks in dark black robes walked out of it..

One of the dark-skinned middle-aged men glanced at the prisoners with neck rings, frowned and rushed away. The one-horned man in the front complained..

“I said, Brother Fang, there are a lot fewer monks this time, Elder Hai is afraid he will be unhappy..”

“Something happened on the way, so let's make do with these people first. ”The one-horned man's voice looked a little irritable..

“You should save this for Elder Hai to explain. Not long ago, someone from the sect said that something had changed in the western regions. Now there is an urgent need to prepare for the Yanlin Mine. Therefore, the monthly share has been increased. There are not enough people in the mine. His old man just got angry about it. ”The dark middle-aged man said.

Zuo Qinghui was in the crowd behind him, and when he heard their conversation, he seemed to be thinking about something..

Yanlin mine is a special kind of spiritual mine, the shape resembles a fish scale, which contains a lot of fire-based aura, but it is extremely disordered and cannot be used to refine general magical weapons, but it can be used to refine a special magical weapon called “Liaoyuan Fire”..

This artifact is somewhat similar to the heart-splitting thunder, and it is also a one-time consumable artifact..

It's just that the power is much weaker than that of the heart-splitting thunder. After it is thrown, a sea of fire will form, which is equivalent to a blow to the monks in the early stage of foundation building. Also, because the refining technique is not secret, the major departments in the Central Plains will more or less reserve some for a rainy day..

However, the mining of the Yanlin mine is particularly troublesome. The slightest carelessness will cause an explosion, and the fire aura contained in it will also cause a lot of damage to the body of the miner. Mortals can't bear it at all, so it can only be mined by monks..

As for the captured mortals, they were arranged to mine other deposits in the mine..

Yuan Ming's body had previously been possessed by Ulu through burning incense. He found that although he was in the mine, he did not show abnormality. He didn't know whether he was performing a mission or was really trapped in it. However, he found that the mortals and monks trapped in it were living in the dark.Every day, I pray that I can escape from the sky..

For him, if he can do something for these people to convince these people of themselves, it is a good way to collect willpower, which can help him practice Mingyue Jue..

In front of the gate, the dark middle-aged man roughly took stock of the number of monks and mortals sent, and then called a few guard disciples during the qi refining period and took them in. As for the one-horned man and others, they stayed outside..

As he stepped into the passage behind the gate, there were many disciples of Guiyuan Sect who had cultivated during the Qi refining period stationed on patrol. At the exit, there were several feet-tall blue wolves tied to them. They were wearing special leather armor, and their heads and necks were even protected by iron armor. It seemed that they were heavily guarded..

Seeing everyone approaching, the green wolves immediately gritted their teeth and let out a low roar in their throats. They were lying low and their muscles were tight, as if they were ready to attack at any time. The monks and prisoners were okay, but those mortals were already frightened. Their faces were pale, and many of them even trembled a little. Their legs were a little trembling..

After the guards on the side were calmed down, the green wolf put away the appearance of choosing someone to eat..

Zuo Qinghui and others followed the guards through the passage, and the scene in front of them suddenly opened up. It was an unusually open underground hollow. There are densely packed low stone houses neatly arranged near the passage. Inside are monks in black robes, while near the middle is the only four-story high-rise building with a quaint and atmospheric shape. The top floor is a transparent pavilion structure on all sides, which can transform the entire hollow situation.Panoramic view.

Zuo Qinghui had a sense of his soul, and he vaguely noticed that someone seemed to be looking at the high-rise building at this time, but when he looked up, he didn't see anyone..

The guard disciple did not stay here for a long time, and soon took a group of prisoners to the open space on the other side of the hollow..

This is a huge mining area. Zuo Qinghui swept his gaze and found that the entire mining area showed a huge fan-shaped shape with a downward slope, like a steep hillside. Sheets of cloth tents leaned against the earthen walls and stone slopes, densely packed into a ball, enough to haveThousands of them, this environment is a bit worse than Heitufang, and it seems to be the residence of the prisoners..

On the opposite stone wall, you can still see the entrances and exits of mines of different sizes. From a distance, it looks like a huge hornet's nest. Inside, you can see naked people, swinging hammers and smashing iron drills embedded in the stone cracks, putting huge pieces of them.The rock, smashed into small pieces.

At the bottom exit, there are also miserable-looking miner slaves, carrying baskets of light yellow ore in baskets, coming out of the inside..

These people dumped the ore they carried on their backs on the transport pallet truck waiting outside the entrance of the cave. Without stopping for a moment, they turned their heads and returned to the mine..

Those pallet trucks full of ore were pulled by another group of emaciated miner slaves and transported to several stone houses at the other end of the clearing..

There is a tall and dark chimney standing on one of the stone houses, which is directly connected to the stone wall at the top of the hollow. It should be the place where the ore is smelted. As for the black smoke caused by smelting, it is naturally discharged out of the hollow..

In the mine, a high platform is built almost every certain distance, with two to three Guiyuan Sect disciples guarding it, looking at all corners of the entire mine..

There are also guard teams walking back and forth in various areas, not to mention, there are even people who look like overwatch, carrying a long whip in their hands, patrolling back and forth, seeing a slightly lax miner slave, going up is a whip..

The long whip with thorns and thorns on the body, in just one click, can tear the clothes, beat the flesh and blood, flesh and blood, dare to shout out, it will definitely lead to more severe punishment..

In addition to these mortal mining slaves, the guards against the monk mining slaves are even stricter..

Those monks with neck rings around their necks are in groups of ten. The first eight hold special magic weapons that resemble rakes, while the latter two carry baskets with palm-sized, scaly fiery red ores..

And behind them, they will be followed by a monk supervisor in a light gray robe, who will always monitor them to prevent them from making any secret actions..

Under the leadership of the one-horned man and others, Zuo Qinghui and other imprisoned monks were separated separately and brought into a barracks. The monks sitting inside registered their names one by one, and then ordered them to stand in a row..

I saw the monk pinching his fingers with both hands and facing his forehead a little, and a gap opened in the center of his eyebrows in an instant, from which a vertical snake pupil was drilled, and a purple light flew out of the snake pupil, sweeping past Zuo Qinghui and others..

Soon, the purple light disappeared, and Snake Pupil also penetrated back into the monk's flesh and blood, while he turned his head and said to the guard disciple on the side..

“I've checked it all. They don't have magic weapons hidden in them. Now that there is a shortage of people in the mine, don't send this batch to Elder Hai. Let me see... Zhu Si, Shen Mang Xing, and Chen Shang are all short of people, so I'll send a message to them now.They, let them come back from the mine and come here to lead people.”

Soon, the three people the monk said walked in from the outside. They were polite to the monk in the room, and then they looked at Zuo Qinghui and others, all with eyes like choosing goods..

“Junior Sister Zhu is in great demand, and the people under her hands are easy to die. These three strong ones will be given to Junior sister. ”A male cultivator with an eight-character beard and a wretched face said.

“Hehe, let's give these to Brother Chen. After all, I heard that one of your subordinates was crazy by you. Now that there is a shortage of manpower in the mine, you have to collect your temper and make it impossible to pay your share. Elder Hai is not easy to explain. ”The one named Zhu Si is a mean-faced female cultivator. After listening to the eight-character beard, she immediately retorted..

The two of them seemed humble, but in fact they both wanted to put the strong in their pockets. Only the middle-aged man with an honest face remained, without saying a word, watching the verbal confrontation between the two of them..

In the end, Zhu Si and Chen Shang divided up the physically stronger of the monks, and the remaining few were either thin or old-fashioned, but they were all thrown to Shen Mang Xing, who didn't say a word..

Although Zuo Qinghui changed his face, he still looked like an old man at the roots of his figure. It was the kind that Zhu Si and Chen Shang couldn't see. Naturally, he was assigned to Shen Mang Xing..

So Zuo Qinghui and two other thin monks followed Shen Mang Xing out of the barracks, and then they saw that six monks with neck rings were already waiting outside..

They have men and women, either old or thin, and they are quite similar to Zuo Qinghui and the three of them..
