Seeing that Chief Crow was still a little confused, Gu Zheng said again: "Is this a fairy formation space or a real world?"
"This is a real world!" Chief Crow said.
"How big is this world? I want to know the details." Gu Zheng asked again.
"This world is very big, but I don't know exactly how big it is. The people of our tribe only live in a certain area." Chief Crow said.
"Then you didn't leave this area?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Jiejie, why do you want to go out? You can get whatever you want here."
Chief Crow's answer was a little sarcastic.
Gu Zheng actually wanted to ask how to leave this world, but he knew that even if he asked, Chief Crow wouldn't be able to tell him.
"Why do you call me an entrant?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"Because you don't belong to this world, what would you be called if you weren't called to enter?" Chief Crow said with a smile.
"Have any entrants been here before?" Gu Zheng asked.
"That's right." Chief Crow said.
"So others,"
"Others are already dead because they disobeyed!"
Chief Crow interrupted Gu Zheng's question: "You are a smart man. Don't ask about things that you shouldn't ask about. You have to understand your identity. You are a slave of my Maosen tribe. If you weren't useful, I wouldn't ask.
I’ll talk to you so much.”
"What do you need me to do?" Gu Zheng thought for a while and asked.
"We don't have spiritual thoughts, so your spiritual thoughts are a good thing. You can help us mine."
Chief Crow laughed strangely, and then said: "If you are willing to work hard and complete the task I gave you for seven consecutive days, then I will reward you with a good thing."
"What good stuff?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Jie Jie!"
Chief Crow laughed strangely again, then took out a bottle and poured out a pool of jade-colored liquid.
After the jade-colored liquid fell on the stone platform, it crawled onto Gu Zheng's forehead like a living thing. Gu Zheng couldn't help but think of a person, and this person was the weapon spirit!
The moment Gu Zheng remembered the weapon spirit, the jade-colored liquid bounced up from his forehead, and then emitted a dazzling light. When it landed, it had turned into a girl who looked exactly like the weapon spirit.
.
"Ancient struggle!"
Jade Transformer Ling called out Gu Zheng's name in a lively manner, which made Gu Zheng couldn't help but feel shocked.
"Asshole, the things in this world outside this circle really cannot be measured by common sense. Just by staying on my forehead for a moment, you can know the person I miss the most, and you can know my name, and I don't know this information myself.
How did it leak out! However, this thing is really strange. Although I don’t know what it is, I think it is definitely a good material that can be used to refine clones!”
Gu Zheng's thoughts were surging. He did not lose his mind because the unknown liquid turned into a weapon spirit. Instead, he was thinking about the use of the unknown liquid.
"How?" Chief Crow asked.
"Okay, tell me about mining!"
Gu Zheng wants to get the unknown liquid, but he definitely doesn't want her to become a weapon spirit.
There is a secret gold mine a day's journey away from the Maosen tribe. There is another associated mine in the mine called hidden jade. This associated mine called hidden jade can move and can only be mined by entrants with spiritual mind.
Chief Crow set a task for Gu Zheng. He must find five kilograms of hidden jade every day. If he completes the task, he will have enough to eat. If he fails to complete the task, he will be whipped. Chief Crow plans to send someone to send him into the mining area in half an hour.
When Chief Crow said that he would have food after completing the task, Gu Zheng suddenly felt a little hungry.
"Are you a little hungry?" Chief Crow smiled evilly.
"I'm indeed a little hungry. Is there something wrong with the milk you gave me?"
It has been a few days since Gu Zheng entered this world. Before he drank the bottle of milk, he did not feel hungry.
"It's like this. If you can understand the language of this world, you are now a part of this world. It is normal to feel hungry."
As Chief Crow finished speaking, the door of the stone house was opened, and an elephant-like spirit entered the stone house carrying a plate of meat.
The meat was barbecue, and it was a whole animal. It was the kind of spiritual beast that was as big as a leopard and looked like a civet cat that Gu Zheng had seen before.
The meat was poorly roasted. Under normal circumstances, Gu Zheng would have disdained such barbecue. However, in his current state, he felt like he wanted to swallow his saliva.
"This meat is poorly cooked, I can cook better!"
Gu Zheng asked tentatively, if Chief Crow is delicious, then even if his body is very limited in cooking food, Gu Zheng is confident that he can cook food that conquers his taste buds. Once Chief Crow is conquered by delicious food, then things may be
It will be much easier to handle.
"The food is just for filling the stomach, why does it have to be so delicious? Don't try to exchange for privileges by making more delicious food. This won't work in our Maosen tribe!" Chief Crow looked at Gu Zheng mockingly.
"Then can I do it for myself?" Gu Zheng asked.
"If you can complete mining every day, I can allow you to make food for yourself."
Chief Crow paused for a moment, then continued: "However, I advise you to eat these things now, otherwise you will not have the energy to mine. Once you fail to complete the task, the taste of whipping will not be pleasant!"
"Don't worry, I will complete the task!" Gu Zheng said.
"Hmph, some people will never know what it feels like until they have a taste of whipping!"
Chief Crow smiled, but no longer forced Gu Zheng to eat the barbecue. He waved his hand towards Gu Zheng, and the shadow of the crow that originally imprisoned Gu Zheng's spiritual thoughts flew up from Gu Zheng's face.
"With the first layer of your seal lifted, you will have part of your spiritual energy to use for mining. However, don't play any tricks, because there are still six phantom crows sealing you. If you want to escape or are disobedient,
You will know what it feels like to be in pain. Okay, take a rest, and I’ll have someone take you to the mining area in half an hour!”
After Chief Crow finished speaking, he walked out of the stone house. Only Gu Zheng was left in the huge stone house.
Gu Zheng sat up on the stone platform and began to think seriously about his situation.
Although Chief Crow answered some of Gu Zheng's questions, Gu Zheng still had doubts about what he said in reply to Gu Zheng. However, at the moment, people are fighting for their own good, and Gu Zheng can only take one step at a time.
"The things in the Immortal Space Immortal Weapon are really beyond imagination. I didn't expect that after experiencing the calamity of life and death, I would become a slave."
Gu Zheng was really dumbfounded, but at his core he was the kind of person who refused to admit defeat. Since he was not directly killed by Chief Crow, everything could still turn around. He had lived a comfortable life for a long time, and it was time for some excitement.
Half an hour later, two elephant spirits came to take Gu Zheng to the mining area.
The Elephant Spirit's own strength is already at the realm of returning to the virtual world. This is something Gu Zheng already knew when he searched for the old soul tree.
Following the two elephant spirits, Gu Zheng and the others began to move towards the mining area. If the two elephant spirits were distinguished by color, one was a white mammoth and the other was a yellow mammoth.
"How many people are there in the mine?"
The two elephants seemed very quiet, while Gu Zheng tried to learn more.
"There are a total of eight overseers in the mining area, plus you and six slaves."
Gu Zheng was somewhat surprised by Bai Maoxiang's words. He thought he was the only slave in the mining area.
"The rest of the slaves, are they from this world, or are they entrants like me?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"them,"
"Don't talk to him too much, otherwise it will lower your status!"
The voice of the white mammoth was interrupted by the yellow mammoth.
"I don't have any other meaning. I just want to know more about the mining area." Gu Zheng said.
"I haven't settled the accounts with you for killing our people, but you still dare to talk so much?"
The yellow-haired elephant turned its head violently, and swiped its long nose towards Gu Zheng's face, but Gu Zheng blocked it with his arm.
Seeing Gu Zheng blocking his nose, Huang Maoxiang sneered and took out a bottle from his arms. The belly of the bottle seemed to be inlaid with a piece of glass, allowing people's eyes to pass through it and see a space in the bottle. I saw,
There is a crow turned into mist in the bottle, flying back and forth.
"Boom!"
The yellow mammoth's finger flicked on the bottle, making a sound like a bell. The crow in the bottle flew faster, and Gu Zheng felt an unbearable pain in his head.
"Don't try to play tricks. This is the way to punish you. Playing it once will make your head hurt, playing it twice will make you miserable, and playing it three times will make you disappear. As long as you are still in this world, you can't escape its sanctions!"
The yellow woolly elephant said proudly.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything, just gritted his teeth secretly, and he wrote down the account.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything else along the way. The two elephant spirits took him for a day and then came to the outside of the mine.
Today's landscape has changed from forest to mountain forest. The entrance to the mine is under a towering mountain, and there are two wild boar spirits guarding the entrance.
"Is there anyone new here?"
"Still a big guy!"
The two wild boar spirits guarding the mine looked up and down at Gu Zheng.
"He is an entrant. He is not responsible for mining ordinary minerals. He is only responsible for mining hidden jade. He has a task of five kilograms of hidden jade every day. If he completes the task, he will be fed. If he fails, he will be whipped." The white-haired elephant said.
"It turned out to be an intruder."
The two wild boar spirits looked up and down again and started arguing.
"Black Hoof, take him in and tell him what he needs to pay attention to when mining hidden jade. We will go back to the tribe now." The white mammoth said.
"Okay!"
The wild boar spirit with a pair of black hooves responded.
"Fang, you may not know that this guy killed your brother outside the tribe!"
The yellow woolly elephant looked at another wild boar spirit with longer tusks.
"What!"
The wild boar spirit called Fangs stared at Gu Zheng, as if he wanted to eat someone. However, Gu Zheng was a big man, and his height compared to Gu Zheng, only reached the top of Gu Zheng's thighs.
"Okay, let's take him in! Since he is already a slave in the mine, you can't punish him privately. If something goes wrong and the chief blames you, you will be unlucky," said the white mammoth.
"We can't punish him privately. Let's wait until he fails to complete the task. Now I want him to know the rules. He must take the whip before entering the mine!"
Fang stretched out his hand and rubbed his thigh. A gleaming green vine whip with barbs appeared in his hand. He raised his hand and whipped it towards Gu Zheng.
"Crack!"
A very loud sound came from Gu Zheng's body, and when the ivy whip was removed, it also brought out a lot of sawdust.
The fangs were clearly drawn with all their strength, but Gu Zheng didn't feel much pain. This may have something to do with the strength of his body.
Without stopping outside the mine, Gu Zheng was pushed into the mine by the black hooves.
There is no humidity and darkness as expected in a mine. The air in the huge mine is dry, and the glowing stones on the cave wall provide ample light.
As he walked, Black Hoof taught Guzheng the knowledge of mining hidden jade.
After walking for about a meal, Black Hoof led Gu Zheng to the bottom of a mine tunnel.
"Starting from now on, you have to dig up five kilograms of hidden jade in one day. If you can't dig it out, the punishment will be, needless to say, starvation. If you can dig it out, you will have enough to eat. However,
, on the first day when you enter the mine, you have nothing to eat, so the hidden jade you dug today will be your food for tomorrow."
Without saying anything more to Gu Zheng, Black Hoof's figure quickly disappeared around the corner of the mine tunnel.
Gu Zheng found that even though Hei Tu and the others didn't mention food, he wasn't too hungry. Whenever they mentioned food, the feeling of hunger was a bit unbearable.
Suppressing his hunger, Gu Zheng did not dig mine immediately. He was thinking about what Black Hoof had told him before.
In addition to imparting the knowledge of digging hidden jade to Gu Zheng, Black Hoof also told Gu Zheng that work is not done every day in the mine, and there is a day off every three days. During this day of rest,
, overseers and slaves would get together.
There is a special day of rest in the mine. This is not because the Maosen tribe has good intentions, but it is just not suitable for mining minerals on that day. As for why it is not suitable for mining minerals, Gu Zheng also asked about this, and Black Hoof's answer was that day
When the Mine God comes out to stretch his muscles, they have to dodge to avoid hitting the Mine God.
There are other slaves in the mine, which makes Gu Zheng a little happy. Some information cannot be obtained by asking the supervisors, but it is not possible to ask the slaves. However, there are still two days before the Mine God comes out for activities.
Gu Zheng needs to spend these two days well before talking about it.
The man with black hoof has mining tools. In front of him is the mining line of secret gold. Gu Zheng plans to complete today's task first.
The so-called mining tool is not a pickaxe, it is a dustpan-like thing made of an unknown metal.
Gu Zheng held the dustpan in his hand, and after the mana entered it, the size of the dustpan immediately became easier to grasp.
Aiming the dustpan at the mining line, Gu Zheng used his magic power to push the dustpan, and the dustpan immediately pushed into the rock like cutting.
Secret gold is a metal that has never been seen before in ancient times. If this thing were placed in the ancient times, it would definitely be a top-grade weapon refining resource.
Ore is piling up behind Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng, who is only responsible for mining, does not care what happens to the ore in the end.
A moment later, when the ore piled up into a huge pile behind Gu Zheng, a huge black beetle like an elephant pushed the pile of ore toward the outside of the mine tunnel like a rolling dung ball.
An hour later, Gu Zheng felt hungry again. With his current tree-man body, his mana consumption had reached as high as 70%, and he had to stop and rest.
He hasn’t encountered hidden jade yet, but Gu Zheng is not panicking, because he knows that hidden jade is not particularly easy to encounter, but as long as he is not lazy and makes no mistakes in operation, the task of five kilograms of hidden jade every day can still be completed.
.
After resting for about two hours, Gu Zheng stood up again. He was very dissatisfied with the recovery of magic power in this tree man's body. If it were his original body, even if all the magic power was consumed, he would only be able to recover half of his magic power at most.
Time will fill it up, and it will be like now.
Guzheng continues to mine, and his spiritual thoughts follow the mining line in depth.
This world originally suppresses spiritual thoughts, and the range that spiritual thoughts can detect is very limited. For exploration like this along the mine line, the range that can be detected is even smaller.
While mining and exploring, the ancient struggle was naturally to find hidden jade.
Half an hour later, Gu Zheng finally found the first piece of hidden jade.
In fact, mining hidden jade is not complicated. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that when you detect the hidden jade with your spiritual mind, you must immediately mark the hidden jade with your spiritual mind, so that the hidden jade cannot move, otherwise it will disappear.
There is no skill in marking the hidden jade with spiritual thoughts. What matters is whether the spiritual thoughts are strong or not. If the divine thoughts are strong enough, then the speed is fast enough, and naturally the mark can be left on the hidden jade.
Gu Zheng's spiritual consciousness was strong enough, and he easily marked the first piece of hidden jade. This piece of hidden jade was about the size of an egg and weighed half a catty.
If he used this hidden jade and added nine more pieces, Gu Zheng would be able to complete today's task. However, before encountering the second piece of hidden jade, Gu Zheng's mana would only be consumed by only 30%.
But this time, Gu Zheng did not stop, because the exploration with his spiritual sense allowed him to find something in the mineral vein, which should be the roots of a tree. After Gu Zheng used his spiritual sense to explore it, he found that this kind of tree root
Sweet, juicy, and edible.
When only 10% of the mana was consumed, Gu Zheng finally mined near the roots of the tree. He saw that there were many tree roots extending out from nowhere on the mountain, and each one was as big as an adult's arm.
It's thick and the juice splashes out after breaking it off.
Food was found, but there was no fire in Guzheng. The body of this tree man was originally afraid of fire, and naturally it could not cast any fire-attribute spells.
However, although the treant body cannot cast fire-attribute spells, Gu Zheng can still roast food.
Fixing the tree root in the void, Gu Zheng sat cross-legged under the tree root. The flower above his head bloomed in an instant, and the core of the flower radiated as high a temperature as fire.
As time went by, the tree trunks were softened by the high temperature, and the sweet smell of roasted sweet potatoes filled the mine, which also made Gu Zheng feel more hungry.
Gu Zheng couldn't wait to put the roasted roots into his mouth, and he tasted the sweet taste like roasted sweet potatoes.
Under normal circumstances, Gu Zheng doesn't know how to feel hungry. Even if he feels hungry, he can be full by eating something as big as a steamed bun. But now, his body is a tree man, with things like roasted tree roots.
, he seemed to have eaten a full fifty kilograms before he felt that hunger was gone.
