There are only two hours for eating and resting, and the rest of the time is spent working at high intensity. If they are lazy or the quantity of lapis lazuli dug out is not up to standard, these Liu family people will not stop people from eating, they will only change.
The law tortures people, makes them miserable, and forces you to work hard for them.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Xing has been here for seven days. He is extremely strong, has strong energy and blood, and has adapted to the hard work of the mine, but the same cannot be said for others.
On the third day, an old man who was over sixty years old, with gray hair and declining vitality and blood was working hard and he really had no strength. He rested for a while leaning on his hoe and was immediately discovered by a guard who was supervising him.
A whip was thrown on the old man's back, and the skin and flesh were torn apart, but the old man did not make a sound and fell straight down, dead.
As a result, the old man died, but the guard cursed and complained that the old man did not beat him and the amount of lapis lazuli did not meet the requirements every time.
Finally, Manager Xun scolded the guards and ordered people to carry the body out and feed it to the spirit beasts...
On this day, Zhou Xing and others were working repeatedly, and the guard with the hooked nose came over and said: "Starting from today, the number of lapis lazuli that each of you needs to submit will be increased by 30%!"
"What?" A tall man with a Chinese character face and thick chest hair said angrily, "You Liu family bullied me too much. You took me unawares and took me to work as a coolie. Now you want to increase it by 30%. No beast can be treated like this.
, I think you won’t give us a way to survive. Stop being slaves to them and fight out with me!”
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over. Many people were obviously moved, but had not yet made up their minds. Seeing this, the guard with a hooked nose quickly called several companions over, waved his whip, and shouted aggressively.
: "What are you looking at? Why don't you dig it out quickly, or I won't be able to kill you with my whip!"
Several guards looked ferocious and tried to suppress everyone, but it had the opposite effect. Instead, they aroused everyone's anger and resistance. A thin young man of seventeen or eighteen years old said with hatred on his face: "You devils,
You are so disrespectful of human life that even my Uncle Ying was beaten to death by you. Today I will bite off a piece of flesh from you even if I die!"
"That's right, let's fight them!"
"Fight them!"
…
Facing almost ten times the number of opponents, even though the several guards were in better condition and had stronger individual strength, they couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
"You are looking for death!" the guard with a hooked nose shouted fiercely, and immediately took out a heavy sword and attacked the big man with a Chinese character - as long as the leader is killed first, the others will fall into the crowd.
The big man with a Chinese character also thought the same way. To capture the thief first, capture the king. He is the only one of the four guards who is in the Tianwu realm. The other three are only high-level spiritual martial arts and can be captured by many people!
The space ring of the big man with a Chinese character face had been taken away long ago. Without a weapon, he picked up a cylindrical lapis lazuli beside him and went towards it.
"Cang!" The guard with the aquiline nose struck the hard lapis lazuli with his broadsword, leaving only a white mark. The two of them were knocked back at the same time, and they were evenly matched.
"How is that possible?" The hook-nosed guard had an expression of disbelief on his face. He was at the third level of Tianwu. Manager Xun clearly said that this guy barely had the strength of Tianwu level. He had been digging stone mines here for so long. Why?
Has it become stronger?
The tall man with the Chinese character's face laughed in relief and said: "If Liu Yulong hadn't led his men to ambush me when I was not in the right state, and if there was a serious fight, I would have killed him long ago. I have been pretending to be a grandson for so long these days, and I will do it now
I want them all back."
"So what?" The hook-nosed guard was full of spiritual power, making the big man with a Chinese character stand ready. Unexpectedly, the next second, he turned around and ran away.
"Exit first and guard the tunnel exit, they can't escape!"
"Don't let them run away!" The big man with a Chinese character shouted loudly, calling for the others to surround him.
But the four guards were closer to the exit, and their strength and condition were stronger. How could they stop them if they wanted to run away?
Having already started, there is no way to give up halfway. The big man with a Chinese character led the angry crowd and chased him out.
Zhou Xing fell at the back, and retreated after entering the tunnel, because he knew that once the narrow tunnel exit was guarded, the possibility of rushing out quickly was slim. When Liu Yulong came with people to support him, everything was in vain.
He is a person who has passed through the gate of hell many times, and he will do this kind of thing that is almost impossible to succeed without being hot-headed.
He returned to the distance and continued to excavate a corner that he had deliberately ignored before, where a head-sized, almost round light green lapis lazuli revealed its shape - no, it should be colorless, the color on the surface is only the green azure in it.
Illusion caused by ectoplasm.
The azure spirit liquid is the treasure that warms and nourishes the meridians and accelerates cultivation. Such a piece of celestial stone containing spiritual liquid may not be born in a celestite mine. With it, the erosion caused by the poisonous materials associated with the stone mine can be eliminated.
It can be swept away, and many hidden diseases may be cured without treatment.
Soon, Zhou Xing dug out the colorless lapis lazuli, then picked up a sharp-edged lapis lazuli next to it and smashed a small gap in the former.
"Fortunately, the texture of lapis lazuli containing spiritual liquid will become brittle, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to handle it."
Looking at the emerald green spiritual liquid in the stone, a strong desire arose in Zhou Xing's body, and then he lifted it up and drank it all in one gulp!
As soon as the spiritual liquid entered the abdomen, it quickly turned into thousands of warm energy and wandered around, integrating into the limbs and bones. The power of the poison pill and the gray haze emitted by the poison were all purified, and the meridians around the body healed.
He became tenacious, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him swarmed in.
Zhou Xing was overjoyed. After his spiritual root was damaged, no matter how hard he practiced, it was useless. Judging from the current signs, it seemed that his strength could be restored.
The spiritual energy enters the body, rushes through the meridians, and then rushes to the Dantian. However, like water flowing over a duck's back, it immediately flows between heaven and earth.
Zhou Xing had a look of frustration on his face. Unwilling to give up, he used his exercises and took the initiative to absorb spiritual energy, but the situation still did not improve. Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly found that the Thunder Tree and Thunder Pill in his Dantian seemed to have a little more luster.
The power of coldness has also weakened a little.
"I have recovered to the fifth level of spiritual martial arts!" Zhou Xing was so excited that he almost jumped up. Any progress was worth being happy about, and it gave him infinite hope.
While Zhou Xing was tinkering inside, the big man with a Chinese character and the others retreated in embarrassment. It seemed that a few people were missing.
"Block it, they can block the exit so that we can't rush out, and they can't get in either." The big man with the Chinese character face, whose face was covered with blood and his breath was floating, shouted.
"The mantis's arms are like a chariot!" A cold snort sounded, and then endless green wind blades shot out, knocking back more than a dozen people at the same time, including the big man with a Chinese character face, and blood flowed all over the ground.
A figure was too fast to see clearly, and instantly caught up with the big man with a Chinese character face, stepped on him, crushed his chest, and pinned him to the ground, unable to move.
The big man with a Chinese-style face vomited blood and said unwillingly: "I didn't expect that an old man like you is actually a high-level Tianwu!"
"Anyone who doesn't want to die, get down here!" Liu Yulong followed angrily and asked his guards to take control of the situation. He walked to the big man with a Chinese character and squatted down, slapped him and knocked out all his teeth, and vomited again.
He spat at him and cursed: "Aren't you very capable? Why are you like a dead dog now?"
"Bah!" The big man with the Chinese character's face sprayed Liu Yulong's face with blood, "If you want to kill or behead him, it's up to you!"
"I won't kill him," Liu Yulong said with a cruel smile, "Uncle Xun, destroy him."
"Yes." Liu Xun, the old man with a goatee, immediately took action and destroyed all the meridians of the big man at his feet.
Liu Yulong looked at the other people lying down in the mine and sneered: "You guys..."
Just as he finished the sentence, the entire mine suddenly shook, and a "rumbling" trampling sound came from above.
"What's going on?" Liu Yulong looked at Liu Xun in surprise.
The latter's face was very solemn: "It seems to be a beast tide, countless spiritual beasts entered the valley and wreaked havoc."
"Are you kidding me? Although this place is not far from the Kongsang Mountains, it is not very close either. Moreover, there has never been a tide of beasts hitting this area."
"I'll go out and take a look. It should be fine if we hide down here."
Liu Xun immediately went out, and when he looked out through the tunnel entrance, he saw one of his bodyguards being torn into pieces by a colorful tiger with an eye-catching white forehead.
"Silk... late third level." Liu Xun was just trying to see clearly the situation in the entire valley, when suddenly a white light flew toward him, carrying a terrifying aura.
Liu Xun was shocked. It was not white light, but an extremely compressed white flame. The incomparable heat could be felt from a few feet away, as if it was about to ignite him.
He pushed forward with both palms, and a solid blue wind wall was formed to block the attack. There was only a "bang" sound, and white light exploded. The white flames instantly broke through the wind wall and came in with claws and teeth.
"Shua..." Liu Xun ran away immediately, leaving only an afterimage swallowed up by the flames.
Seeing Liu Xun running down in a panic, Liu Yulong quickly asked: "Uncle Xun, what's going on outside?"
Liu Xun calmed down for a moment and then replied: "There are many third-level spiritual beasts in the valley. I saw several of them in the later stages alone. I'm afraid all the people outside are dead. Now we have nothing to do but hide here and wait for the beast tide to pass."
Other methods."
Liu Yulong was helpless and muttered: "This is a heavy loss."
Just when he was about to turn his attention to the big man with a Chinese character face on the ground, screams came from the tunnel. After a while, the screams stopped abruptly, and a broken human head was thrown out of the deep tunnel and landed on the ground.
The ground was completely shattered, and brains were splashed all over the floor.
Several guards guarding the edge of the tunnel retreated hastily to Liu Xun's side, staring at the entrance of the tunnel as if facing a formidable enemy.
"The late third-level three-eyed golden monkey!"
Liu Xun looked at the golden-haired monkey with three eyes that came out, and his face turned pale. This was a famous spiritual beast that few monks at the same level could rival.
"Everyone come with me." Liu Xun shouted loudly, as if to embolden himself.
These guards also knew that if they did not take action, the three-eyed golden monkey would kill them sooner or later, so they could only overcome their fear and all rushed forward with their spiritual soldiers.
"Squeak..." The three-eyed golden monkey scratched its head, and then grinned and waved the thick and long bone club in its hand. The huge shadow of the stick appeared, swept out domineeringly, and smashed the two guards rushing forward into pieces with one blow.
Bolognese.
"Don't be so rampant, evil beasts!" Liu Xun held two maces and struck down in the air. At the same time, countless wind blades followed, and there was a sound of breaking through the air wherever he passed.
The three-eyed golden-haired monkey raised his bone stick to block, turning a blind eye to the wind blade. The vertical eye between his eyebrows opened and emitted a golden light, piercing Liu Xun's shoulder blade as he avoided the vital point.
Liu Xun groaned, his hand suddenly lost strength and was knocked away by the bone stick.
The three-eyed golden-haired monkey hit the ground with a stick, and suddenly the ground was torn apart, like a landslide, making everyone unstable. At the same time, a yellow halo expanded rapidly with it as the center, sweeping away more than a dozen people.
Liu family guard.
Many Liu family guards coughed up blood, and some had their spines shattered, falling to the ground unable to stand up, or even dying.
Liu Yulong, who was watching the battle, was horrified to see so many people working together but they couldn't deal with a monkey. Instead, they were beaten to pieces. However, he was only at the peak of his spiritual martial arts, and he had been addicted to wine and sex all the year round. His body was hollowed out, so how could he have any fighting ability?
What's more, he didn't dare to fight at all.
He saw the captured slaves behind him. These people had already stood up from the ground, as if they were enjoying the battle taking place in front of them.
"You guys, hurry up and attack that golden monkey!"
Everyone looked at each other in shock. No one listened to Liu Yulong's order. Who would be willing to sacrifice his life for someone who captured him as a mining slave?
Liu Yulong was so angry that he really wanted to teach these slaves a lesson, but now he had no other strength. He could only endure his anger and rationalize: "When all my people are dead, none of you will be able to survive. After this disaster,
, I promise to give you spiritual crystals and let you leave."
With that said, Liu Yulong took out all the spiritual weapons from the space ring and threw them in front of everyone, "There is still a chance to survive together, you make your own choice."
A dark-skinned man picked up a handful of spirit weapons after a moment's hesitation, and the others were immediately ready to take action, as was Zhou Xing. No one believed Liu Yulong's lies, but they had to fight for their lives.
The three-eyed golden-haired monkey once again defeated the Liu family's guards, and after a few more corpses appeared on the ground, it cast its scarlet eyes on Zhou Xing.
It raised its bone club and thrust it forward quickly. The huge shadow of the stick rolled over like an Optimus Prime, and everyone along the way clung to the shadow of the stick and was knocked away.
Zhou Xing hid at the back and had a certain amount of time to react. Purple lightning lingered under his feet and he quickly ducked aside. However, he was still swept away by the diffuse shock wave and his internal organs were damaged.
He took a closer look and saw that several people were stabbed by the shadow of the stick on the hard rock formation and smashed into meat patties.
It's too strong and has no resistance at all.
Zhou Xing felt a sense of despair in his heart, how could he fight?
The others were also frightened, and the spirit soldiers in their hands fell to the ground with a clang.
Not long after, the three-eyed golden monkey grabbed Liu Xun's head, crushed it brutally, and then walked towards the person hiding behind.
While Zhou Xing looked at the approaching three-eyed golden monkey, he anxiously tried to mobilize the mysterious slate fragments in his dantian. Now he had this only hope.
