Chapter 58 Undercurrent (Part 2)
Yin He spent a whole day here, and once again told the various dangers here to the deserted slaves, telling them to work honestly and obediently if they want to survive. Whoever does not obey orders is a dead end. If they want to escape, there will be even more terrible death areas around them. If they run a little further, there will be countless fatal things that make people regret it.
The next day, they started to build roads.
The human soldiers monitored with weapons, did not work, but only looked at people; nearly a thousand desert slaves replaced the human race at that time, headed towards the sacred mountain, and began to explore little by little according to Yin He's instructions, flattened, built roads, and transported pieces of green jade forward.
At the beginning, the situation was a bit chaotic, but after the wasteland slaves worked for a long time under the pressure of human warriors, they became familiar with the work here and their efficiency suddenly increased.
Because the gap between the physical strength of the human race and the wild race is really natural.
In war, human warriors can rely on strong armor and powerful equipment such as sharp weapons to fight against the deserted people without being at a disadvantage. Coupled with excellent command and mysterious witchcraft, they can easily defeat the powerful deserted people. But in front of them, in this kind of work that is almost naked and rely solely on their own strength, the strong physical talent of the deserted people was quickly revealed.
In the past, the scene of human race working hard to build roads no longer existed under the hands of these deserted slaves. Although they were not willing to build roads, in any case, these deserted slaves built roads much faster than the human race.
The road began to extend forward quickly. About half a month later, in front of Yin He, a new green jade station that penetrated the inner ring was also the sixteenth green jade station.
This speed exceeded the speed of all human races building the Qingyu Station in the past. Even Yin He had already expected it, and he couldn't help but be amazed at this moment.
At the same time, he vaguely noticed another subtle thing.
The human race is not feeling well in the inner ring. Not only those who have practiced witchcraft must not enter, but even those who do not have witchcraft will be damaged over time.
However, these deserted slaves are different. Although the situation was scary at the beginning, and some people died, which made these deserted slaves very scared, but as time passed and until now, this situation has never happened again, Yin He even vaguely felt that the bodies of these deserted slaves seemed to be stronger than before.
This is a very subtle and difficult to describe in words. Maybe it is just an inexplicable illusion, and Yin He has no evidence, but he always has such a sense of crisis in his heart that cannot be lingered.
He wrote a letter to Ji Hou in the Holy City, telling him that everything here was not hidden from beginning to end, and happily told him that the road construction was going well here, and asked him to tell the high priest that he could see if this speed could work. If possible, perhaps the road to heaven that the high priest was looking forward to was really hoped to be completed in the hands of these deserted slaves.
At the end of the letter, he wanted to write his inexplicable premonition, but in the end he hesitated and endured it. If there was no evidence, he was afraid that it would only cause trouble.
The road was still underway, but fortunately, they rarely encountered such terrifying monsters to come and find fault this time, so everything went very smoothly. And this letter was quickly sent out of the inner ring and sent to the high-rise study in the Ji mansion as quickly as possible.

The Great Pyramid of the Holy City stands majestic and majestic, and is the center of the entire holy city and the entire human race yearns for worship. People believe in and respect the gods. As the smartest, most outstanding and most holy high priest of the entire human race, they are the only messenger in the human race who can communicate with the gods.
He is admired by all people.
He has a high status and is unattainable.
He has endless power and wealth. As long as he wants, he abandons himself as a piece of grass and devotes himself to the gods. He lives in the temple for decades and never takes a step forward from the Great Pyramid.
This also made people admire him more, worship him, regard him as the only spiritual leader, and regard his words as God's will, even the powerful presbyterians in the secular world dare not disobey his will.
He is the high priest of the God Cult.
He has been famous for decades.
Now he is already an old man.
Power, wealth, treasures, and even women have become meaningless in his eyes. The high priest often looks at the mountain of sacred, and the only thing left is the longing for life.
Although he is old, he still doesn't want to die.
He walked into the temple hall and looked at the light shining in the big window. He suddenly felt a little disgusted. He was unwilling to go to that bright place, because the light would shine his face particularly clearly, and would also make people see the increasingly dry and deep wrinkles on his face and the uncoverable old man spots.
He doesn't want people to feel old, and he doesn't want people to feel that they are about to die.
He wants to live! Live! Live forever!
He roared like this in his heart. Recently, he often roared like this, but his face still maintained the usual gentle expression for decades.
There were two people in the hall at this time, one was Ji Hou and the other was his daughter, but now his more important identity is Ji Honglian, the descendant of the high priest.
The high priest sat down first, Ji Hou bowed to him respectfully, the high priest smiled and asked him to sit up, and then Ji Honglian brought tea to both of them from the side.
In the middle, when the high priest went to take the teacup, he accidentally glanced over Ji Honglian's hand and was suddenly stunned.
The white, delicate and soft palm was filled with the breath of life, filled with uncontrollable vitality, and suddenly formed an extremely sharp contrast with his dry palm, who was close to him.
It's like...one is a living person and the other is a dead person.
The high priest was confused and felt a sense of pain and loss.
“…High Priest?”
A soft call woke him up from his trance state. The high priest shook slightly, then looked up and saw Ji Hou looking at him in surprise.
The high priest said "Oh" and smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
Ji Hou was a little surprised and looked at him more, but then he smiled and said, "High Priest, I came here this time to report to you specifically to build the road to heaven in the inner ring."
The high priest was immediately excited and hurriedly said, "What's the situation? Tell me quickly..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly noticed that Ji Hou's eyes were slightly surprised. The high priest immediately realized that he seemed to be a little disobedient. After coughing gently, his expression returned to calmness. He looked around and smiled at Ji Honglian and Ji Hou and said, "No matter what, this matter is what the gods told me to me descend the oracle. It is really crucial."
Ji Honglian nodded, and seemed to attach great importance to the oracle of Gods and turned her eyes to Ji.
Ji Hou sneered in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged. Then he began to explain to the high priest about the situation where Yin He led his men into the inner ring land so far, and also mentioned various dangers in the inner ring land.
Finally, he looked at the high priest and said earnestly: "High priest, the oracle is indeed extremely wise. We use wasteland slaves to build roads, which is indeed much faster than before."
The high priest nodded with a smile, very relieved.
Ji Hou said again: "Now according to this progress, the construction of Tongtian Road is at least twice as fast as before, which is really gratifying. I wonder if you feel satisfied with this?"
