At the edge of the mine, Nangong Xian'er had a cold temperament. She looked at the team of slaves she had brought, and then looked at the old man in gray robe.
"Brother, among the slaves brought this time, there are two people you need to pay attention to."
"Duan Qian, the late True God, was a ruthless character and very powerful. When he was at the border with Shenling City, he betrayed his comrades for his own selfish gain, and even seriously injured himself without changing his expression. He wanted to hide it from the public, but in the end he was leaked. All in all, this is the only way to expose the matter and get him captured."
"There is also the middle-stage True God dressed like a beggar, named Ye He. He is a deserter who escaped from the border battlefield. Although he is only a mid-stage True God, he can fight undefeated against the captain of the law enforcement team who captured him in the late-stage True God realm. If he hadn't been outnumbered, he would have probably run away."
"These two people are special and need to be taken care of by my brother."
"After a scum like Duan Qian has been drained of all his value, let him die in the mine. As for Ye He, if he performs well enough, train him here for three to five years and then grant him freedom. , let’s see if we can recruit him into the family and use him for our use.”
Nangong Xianer said.
In her eyes, these two people were the only ones who needed special attention and care from her oldest cousin.
"good."
The old man in gray robe nodded.
"Sister, I think the young man we picked up on the road is not simple either."
At the right time, the man who arrived with Nangong Xianer also looked at Nangong Xianer and said.
His name is Nangong Qingxuan, and he and Nangong Xian'er are brothers from the same father and mother. He is fifteen years older than Nangong Xian'er.
"Of course it's not simple. If it had been anyone else who had suffered such serious injuries, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago."
When Lin Bei was mentioned, Nangong Xian'er's face showed a chill.
Obviously, Lin Bei stared at her before, which made her extremely unhappy.
If it weren't for Nangong Qingxuan's dissuasion, she would have ordered Lin Bei's eyes to be dug out.
"Then...?" Nangong Qingxuan said.
When Nangong Qingxuan just spoke, Nangong Xian'er's lips moved slightly and said again: "It is impossible for this person to be so seriously injured for no reason. Moreover, when we found him, he also had the traces of an enemy from another world on his body. His aura and attire are even different from those of us, and his identity is unclear. He looks like a deserter who escaped from a defensive line somewhere. If it weren't for the confirmation that he was not an enemy from another world, he would have been killed long ago."
Nangong Xian'er's tone was not very good.
There was a chill in the voice.
"That's all, brother, this person is a bit special. Please observe him carefully. I will also send someone to investigate his identity in detail."
"However, if we find that he has any involvement with another world, we will kill him immediately."
"Before that, send him to the deepest part of the mine and let him work in the most dangerous place."
Then, Nangong Xianer spoke again.
............
............
On the other side, Lin Bei was wearing shackles on his hands and feet, and was being escorted by the guards led by Shan Biao as he walked towards the entrance of the mine from the other side.
Along the way, Lin Bei and others kept encountering some mining slaves, like zombies, working mechanically.
These people, after a long period of torture, seem to have lost their souls.
insensitive.
After meeting Lin Bei and others, most of the mine slaves responded with indifference, as if they had not seen Lin Bei and others.
But there are also a few people who have sneers, sarcasm, etc. on their faces, as if they are in hell, and now they see new people and are pulled into hell, which makes them feel a rare feeling of closeness in their hearts.
A perverted version of pleasure.
Finally, we arrived at the entrance of the mine.
Countless stairs made of fine steel spread out from the entrance of the mine into the bottomless mine.
There was thick smoke inside, as well as the high temperature hitting the face, making it impossible to see the bottom with the naked eye.
"I am the person in charge of this ancient mine in Taixu - Nangong Sheng. From now on, you will work in this ancient mine under my jurisdiction. I will say something ugly in front of you. Anyone who dares to do anything that goes beyond the rules
When something happens, I will let him fully understand what it means to be unable to live and to die!"
"I hope you don't think I'm joking, because in that case, your end will definitely be miserable."
And just when Lin Bei and others arrived at the entrance to the edge of the mine, the old man in gray robe that Lin Bei had seen before appeared out of thin air in front of Lin Bei and others, looked at everyone, and spoke.
The tone is indifferent.
But it gives people a feeling that is beyond doubt.
After experiencing it up close, Lin Bei had a more intuitive feeling for the power and energy exuded by Nangong Sheng.
"I'm afraid that Nangong Sheng's strength is on the same level as the Pope of the Holy See."
Lin Bei thought to himself.
If Lin Bei recovers from his injuries, Lin Bei will naturally not care about Nangong Sheng. But now, Lin Bei's strength can only reach 10% or 20% of what it was at its peak. Naturally, it is impossible for this Nangong Sheng to be Nangong Sheng.
Sheng's opponent.
Therefore, after Nangong Sheng arrived, Lin Bei restrained his energy and stayed among the crowd, trying to make himself inconspicuous.
"The rules here are also very simple. As long as everyone completes their work according to the amount every day, they can get time to rest."
"The sooner you finish, the longer you'll have to rest."
"Of course, correspondingly, if you fail to complete the tasks you should complete for more than one day, not only will you not get any rest time, but you will also be severely punished."
"During the rest time, you can have up to an hour to absorb the energy of heaven and earth and restore your energy."
"In the mine, all harvests will be turned over. Once they are found to be hiding something..."
Then, Nangong Sheng spoke again and introduced some of the rules in the Taixu ancient mine.
After the introduction, Nangong Sheng waved his hand.
"Now, everyone, come to the mine with me."
"Whether it's a true god, a divine realm, or a transformed realm, all walk down the fine iron stairs."
"Of course, anyone who relies on his strength and is not afraid of death can also jump in."
As Nangong Sheng spoke again, Nangong Sheng, who was dressed in gray, stepped in the air, and every time Nangong Sheng's footsteps fell, a staircase condensed from the source out of thin air beneath his feet, firmly dragging him down.
soles of feet and body.
step by step.
Nangong Sheng walked down from the entrance of the mine.
"Hurry up and follow."
Seeing Nangong Sheng walking towards the mine, Shan Biao once again showed a sinister smile on his face, made an explosion in the air with the iron whip in his hand, and said.
Lin Bei and other teams of 500 people, who were all at least in the Transformation realm, followed Shan Biao's arrangement, starting from dozens of stairs made of fine iron, and descended step by step, along the stairs, towards the depths of the mine.
Soon, Lin Bei discovered that Nangong Sheng's intention was to make all of them walk step by step along the fine steel stairs towards the depths of the mine.
Because, along the stairs, all the way down, Lin Bei and others saw countless mining slaves. The miserable appearance made Lin Bei and others a little shocked.
At the same time, Lin Bei and others went all the way down.
One hour.
Two hours.
Three hours.
............
Finally, after walking down step by step along the fine iron stairs for a full seventeen hours, Lin Bei and others finally reached the ground below the mine.
If he could leap, at the peak moment, Lin Bei would be able to come down from the entrance of the mine in just a few breaths.
But because they were walking down step by step, it took them a full seventeen hours. It was as if they were going deep into a bottomless pit and could not see the bottom.
Moreover, the further down you go, the higher the temperature becomes.
The air was also filled with countless harmful substances, corroding their bodies, forcing everyone to start using true energy or origin to resist.
During this period, it is enough to give countless people desperate and frightening thoughts.
It is not only to make these new mining slaves feel a strong sense of awe, but also to facilitate the future. Giving a little sweetness can make these mining slaves feel happy and see hope.
If Lin Bei didn't know clearly in his heart, as long as he secretly slowly regained his strength, not to mention all his injuries, but as long as he could recover to about half, even Nangong Sheng might not be able to stop him if he wanted to leave.
If you are as determined and strong as Lin Bei, you may be affected to a greater or lesser extent.
At the same time, after arriving on the ground, Lin Bei also gave Nangong Sheng a high look in his heart.
Because, Nangong Sheng came down at almost the same speed as them, step by step.
Lin Bei discovered that the purpose of his move may also be to temper his own origin and increase his control over it.
............
............
After reaching the ground below the mine, Lin Bei also discovered that when viewed from the ground, the entire mine looked like a huge sinkhole.
But when you get underground, you will find that the space underground is countless times larger than what can be seen from the ground.
Even with Lin Bei's current eyesight, he could not see the edge at a glance.
You can only see countless mine slaves, various low mines underground, and countless dense mines.
certainly,
"Stay in Huajing, and the others will follow me."
After arriving on the ground, Nangong Sheng opened his mouth and said.
All the transformations were left in place, and someone took over them and began to arrange them.
Lin Bei and all the other gods and true gods left with Nangong Sheng again.
Finally, after passing through a mine, Lin Bei and others began to face downward again.
At this point, Lin Bei discovered that the underground ground they arrived at before was actually just a layer of ground.
After arriving at the next level, most of the divine realms were left behind.
On the third level, all the powerful gods are left behind.
However, the footsteps of Lin Bei and others still did not stop. Three of the six true gods including Lin Bei were left on the fourth floor.
In the end, only Lin Bei, the beggar true god who was in the same iron cage with Lin Bei, and the late true god who was alone in an iron cage that Lin Bei had noticed in particular, the three of them.
, was brought to the fifth floor by Nangong Sheng.
This is also the deepest level in the entire Taixu ancient mine.
The area within this mineral layer is not too large, only about the size of four or five football fields.
Before Lin Bei and others arrived, there were only seven mining slaves here, wielding tools.
Regarding the arrival of Lin Bei and others, those people just looked back and continued to work.
It's not that I'm not curious, it's that I don't want to waste time for Lin Bei and others.
The sooner you can complete your tasks, the sooner you can rest.
Of course, what they are more afraid of is that after twelve hours a day, they still have not completed the task. Not only will they have no time to rest, but they will also be punished.
Likewise, if you pile up day after day, the task will never be completed.
What awaits them will be a bottomless abyss.
"They are all the cultivation of the late True God!"
When Lin Bei arrived at the fifth mineral seam, he saw the seven people waving shovels and waiting. He was surprised to find that these seven people were all in the later stages of the True God.
If these people were placed outside, any one of them would be a powerful person with a strong reputation.
Just like the island owners of several major fairy islands such as Penglai Fairy Island, they are only in the late stage of true gods.
And in those places in the Chaotic Demonic Sea, there are only a handful of powerful people in the late True God stage.
But now, the powerful men in the later stages of True God are actually here, with shackles on their hands and feet, and have become slaves in mining.
"Moreover, the temperature here is really terrifying. The harmful substances in the air are also extremely rich. If it weren't for the True God, it would be impossible to bear it. Even if the True God comes here in the early stage, he may not be able to last long, ten days.
Half a month, or a month? I’m afraid it’s all unknown.”
Lin Bei was also surprised.
Even he can only use his original energy to form a layer of original energy on his body to protect himself.
But even so, Lin Bei still needs to constantly use the source to replenish the original body-protecting Qi. Otherwise, the original body-protecting Qi will be eroded by the harmful substances here in a short time.
Lin Bei had encountered this situation before meeting the corrosive man in the Forbidden Land of Underworld.
"Just being here, being able to persevere and survive for a long time is already difficult for a true god. If you have to continue to consume your source to carry out work, it will only become even more difficult."
"If you follow what Nangong Sheng said, you are only allowed one hour a day to recover, it will be okay in the short term. But if it goes on for a long time, you will not be able to make ends meet, and your own source of energy will be exhausted."
Lin Bei thought to himself.
"But if you can use this place as a place to hone yourself, as long as you persist, you will definitely gain a lot."
Lin Bei's eyes also flashed with light again.
For others, Lin Bei doesn't know if this is the case, but for Lin Bei, it must be this way.
"Although the environment here is the most difficult, there is a greater chance of digging out the best ore here. As long as you can dig out the best ore, you will have three days to relax and rest. Likewise, you will be credited with a meritorious deed." , as long as you have enough merit, you will have the opportunity to leave here and regain your freedom."
"Duan Qian, Ye He, Lin Bei, since today is the first day for the three of you, I will give you a period of time to adapt. Your task today is to dig outwards at the edge of this area to expand this area. The area of this area. When the section is two meters wide, two meters high, and two meters deep, you can rest!"
"Ye He and Lin Bei, you two, once you finish two meters wide, two meters high, and one meter deep, you can rest!"
"These tools are specially made and have a better effect on mining the ores here. You can choose on your own!"
While speaking, Nangong Sheng also pointed towards one of the places where there was a pile of tools.
As for Nangong Sheng's arrangement, it was because Duan Qian was in the late stage of True God cultivation, while Ye He and Lin Bei were only in the middle stage of True God cultivation.
According to regulations, Ye He and Lin Bei do not need to go to the fifth floor, but can be placed on the fourth floor.
But due to Nangong Xian'er's "special care", Nangong Shengze also brought Ye He and Lin Bei to the fifth floor.
After making arrangements, Nangong Sheng also looked at Ye He and Lin Bei. Especially for Ye He, Nangong Sheng's eyes lingered a little longer.
Arranging Ye He to the fifth floor is both a danger and an opportunity for him.
After saying that, Nangong Sheng also stretched out his hand, and an iron awl fell into Nangong Sheng's hand.
Then, Nangong Sheng also walked straight to the edge of a zone and began to use an iron awl to dig out ore.
Speaking as Nangong Sheng, his move was not for mining, but more for tempering himself.
He wants to make further progress.
Seeing that Nangong Sheng just left after giving instructions, it seemed that he didn't pay much attention to them.
However, whether it is Duan Qian, Ye He, or Lin Bei, they all know that although Nangong Sheng seems to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
However, as Nangong Sheng is a strong man at the peak of the True God, even if it is the lowest level of the Taixu Ancient Mine deep inside him, the entire Taixu Ancient Mine, I am afraid that every place is under his supervision.
Duan Qian's complexion changed, but he still chose to abide by the rules for the time being, picked a tool, and chose a direction on his own.
Ye He is no exception.
Lin Bei was the last one and chose a pickaxe. He also remained silent and chose a deserted place.
Then he waved the pickaxe in his hand and tried to swing it towards the ore wall in front of him.
"Clang!"
However, as a burst of sparks flew, only a faint mark was left on the iron ore wall. Instead, Lin Bei's arm, which was already full of countless wounds, was in pain from the shock.
