The fox ran to the meeting point and smiled flatteringly at the overseers.
"I thought you weren't coming!"
The hawk-beaked overseer smiled strangely. Not only did his hands have eagle claws, but his feet also had eagle claws. He raised one leg to catch the fox and threw it high.
"I just found another piece of ore, so I wasted a little time."
The fox dropped a piece of ore that Gu Zheng had seen in the air.
The hawk-billed overseer caught the ore, and then threw the fox up again: "A small piece of ore, you made everyone wait for you for so long, if you keep us waiting for you next time, I will piss you on
Pinch it out!"
The hawk-billed supervisor grabbed the fox again and squeezed it hard. The fox's tongue was stuck out for a long time.
"Goo!"
A strange scream sounded deep in the mine, and then there was another loud bang, as if something huge fell from the top of the mine.
"Okay, the mine god has woken up, let's leave the mine now," the supervisor said.
The meeting point was not too far from the exit of the mine, and the supervisor led everyone towards the exit.
On the way, Gu Zheng pretended to glance at the fox several times casually, but the fox seemed not to notice.
Everyone quickly walked out of the mine, and the air in front of them became much fresher.
"Just rest here for a day, no one is allowed to run around!"
The big miner said something to the slaves, and then the overseers gathered together talking and laughing, while the slaves walked aside in silence.
Among the several slaves, some were looking into the distance, while others were lying on the ground rolling. Gu Zheng, on the other hand, did not want to appear too conspicuous. After sitting on the ground, he lowered his head and fiddled with the vines on his arms.
Slaves were not allowed to communicate with each other, and soon there was a sound of snoring, and among the sleeping slaves was the fox that Gu Zheng missed the most.
"What is this guy doing? Is he looking for an opportunity? Or is the light I saw last time just an illusion?" Gu Zheng thought to himself.
Time passed by little by little, and several hours passed before I knew it.
A scent began to fill the air. It was the overseer responsible for cooking, making food for the slaves.
Gu Zheng glanced at the super big pot from a distance. Although he felt that the smell wafting out of it was very fragrant, it was just a pot of food that didn't look good.
The slaves who were sleeping had already woken up, and they were all looking eagerly at the pot, salivating like pigs waiting to be fed, including the fox.
Finally it was time for dinner. Iron troughs, large or small, were thrown in front of Gu Zheng and the others by the supervisor, and food was poured from the buckets into the iron troughs like feeding pigs.
The sounds like pigs eating swill continued one after another. Except for Gu Zheng, all the other slaves ate deliciously.
Seeing the other slaves eating, Gu Zheng became a little hungry, so he began to paint the tree roots he brought out of the hole.
After completing the task ahead of schedule for two consecutive days, Gu Zheng felt that the supervisors would not say anything about the food he baked.
Sure enough, the overseers didn't stop him from baking food, but looked at him with contempt.
"Uh-huh!"
A slave made an inarticulate sound to Gu Zheng. Through gestures, he was asking if he could eat the food that Gu Zheng didn't want to eat.
Although communication between slaves is prohibited, such communication does not seem to be illegal, and the overseers have not expressed their position on this.
In his heart, Gu Zheng didn't mind the slaves begging for food from him eating food that he didn't want to eat, but he felt that it was inappropriate to do so! So he kicked the iron trough away with one kick.
Sure enough, when the supervisors saw Gu Zheng's actions, they all burst into laughter, and the slaves, including the fox that Gu Zheng valued most, all fought for the food on the ground like vicious dogs.
Seeing the way the fox stretched out its tongue to lick the food on the ground, Gu Zheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He thought he might have been teased by a silly fox, right?
No longer paying attention to the fox, Gu Zheng began to concentrate on roasting his tree roots.
The sweet smell comes from the roasted tree roots, and a long section of tree roots has been roasted by ancient competition.
Regarding the sweet smell emitted by the roasted tree roots, the supervisors showed that they were not tempted, which made Gu Zheng feel a little depressed. On the other hand, the slaves beside him looked very coveted, and the fox was even more
Just stretch out your paws and ask for it from him.
Gu Zheng was unhappy with the fox and opened its outstretched claws, causing the supervisors to laugh again.
"These bastards are always observing the situation here!"
Gu Zheng cursed the supervisors in his mind, picked up the roasted roots and started eating them.
However, just when Gu Zheng was about to swallow his first mouthful of roasted tree roots, he almost choked because the fox's resentful voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"How cruel!"
Gu Zheng was shocked by the fox's voice. He didn't expect that the fox would dare to speak to him directly, and he didn't expect that the supervisor who had been paying attention here would act like nothing was wrong.
"Don't be too surprised. Keep chewing on your tree roots. The sound transmission I use is not divine. They can't hear it at all."
The fox's voice sounded in Gu Zheng's mind again.
Gu Zheng's heartbeat accelerated a bit. Could things really be turning around for the fox?
"If you don't eat the food they give you, it means you have discovered some problems! If you don't give your food to others, it means you are very cautious! Through my observation of you, I think you are a person with whom we can communicate."
The fox paused, and then said: "If you want to communicate with me, wait until you finish eating and enter a state of cultivation. If you want to ask then, just ask me in your heart, I can read minds.
"
The fox's words once again shocked Gu Zheng. In addition to being able to transmit sounds without being discovered, this guy could also read minds. This was really beyond Gu Zheng's expectations. It was great!
After eating the roasted tree roots at a steady pace, Gu Zheng seemed to have closed his eyes, but in fact he entered the state of cultivation like that of an immortal cultivator.
"fox!"
After entering the cultivation state, Gu Zheng shouted in his heart.
When there was no response, Gu Zheng shouted again: "Fox!"
"Where's the reminder? I heard it!"
The fox's voice sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"Are you from the prehistoric times?"
Gu Zheng was a little excited. To be able to see a guy from the ancient times in such a predicament made him feel like a fellow countryman meeting a fellow countryman, with tears in his eyes.
"I know about the ancient world, but I am not from the ancient world. The plane I am in is very similar to the ancient world. There are also immortal cultivators there. The energy in the air is immortal energy. There are also heavenly immortals, golden immortals, and Daluo golden immortals." Fox said.
The voice has infinite emotion.
Although the time he entered this space was not long, Gu Zheng knew that more than a year had passed in the wilderness, and he missed what the fox said very much.
"Even if I'm not a fellow villager, I can still be considered half a fellow villager in this damn place." Gu Zheng smiled bitterly.
"Indeed." The fox also smiled bitterly.
"How did you get in? How long have you been here? What was your cultivation level before you came in? Is the fox your original body?" Gu Zheng asked four questions in succession.
"The fox is not my original body. This is also the body that was reshaped by the power of the law after entering this space. I am a demon cultivator, and my strength is equivalent to the early stage of the Golden Immortal. I came in without knowing whether to live or die! Calculate according to the time here.
, I have been here for five hundred years, five hundred years!" The fox's voice sounded like he wanted to cry.
"Five hundred years!"
Gu Zheng was shocked. Five hundred years of time in this space is equivalent to how many years in the prehistoric times!
"Have you been a slave in this mine for five hundred years?" Gu Zheng asked.
"No, I have only been a slave in this mine for eighty years. The rest of the time I was in other places." The fox said.
"What exactly is this place?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Here? You're right to say it's the inner space of an immortal-level space artifact. It's okay to say it's an immortal array space. It's okay to say it's a real world."
The fox's voice paused, and then he said: "No matter what is here, it is not easy to get out of here!"
"Then do you know a way out of here?"
Gu Zheng's heart beat a little faster. He was really afraid that the fox would say he didn't know.
"Know."
The fox's answer made Gu Zheng undecided. It was an answer that he didn't dare to hope for, but he got it.
"Can you tell me this method?" Gu Zheng asked.
"I'm talking to you just because I want to get out of here. I've had enough of staying in this hellish place! I'll tell you the method, but you have to do it step by step." said the fox.
"How do you do it step by step?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"This is a space inside the Immortal Space Immortal Artifact. It is said to be the real world because unless you are as special as me, otherwise if you stay in this world for a long time, sooner or later you will be assimilated by this world and become this
A member of the world! Just like the slaves around us, including the overseers we saw, they are not natives of this space. They are all members who entered this space through various channels and were assimilated by the space.
!Once assimilated by this space, you will accept the identity arranged by the power of the law and remain in this space until your death. It is said to be an immortal formation space because there are methods to crack the immortal formation, and there are also fixed ones here.
There is a way to escape, but this method is more complicated and difficult to handle!" said the fox.
"If we want to escape from this space, we must first escape from the environment we are in now, but we have been branded as slaves. With this brand, it is impossible to escape from this mine unless we risk our lives.
"The fox said again.
"My brand can be resolved with immortal power. If you have immortal power, help me resolve the brand, and I will be able to help you escape from this mine." Gu Zheng thought to himself.
"Don't be naive, our bodies have been recast by the power of law, how can we still have immortal power! Not to mention that your brand's immortal power can be unlocked, my brand's immortal power can also be unlocked." The fox said.
"Then what should we do? Do we need these supervisors to help us remove the brand?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"It's not us, it's you! If you want to escape from this fairy formation, you can only be a main force, and I can only assist you. In addition, you are not looking for the overseer to help you remove the brand, but you are looking for the Mine God!" said the fox.
"God of Mines?"
Gu Zheng was somewhat surprised.
"The Mine God is a kind of ferocious spiritual beast, and it is also a way of life that wants to break out of this space. If you meet some conditions, the Mine God will help you remove the brand!" said the fox.
"Why am I the main force and you are the auxiliary?"
It's impossible for the fox to say whatever he says, and Gu Zheng also has his doubts.
"Because I'm not strong enough. My current strength is equivalent to the early stage of becoming a god. I can't take on the big task of breaking out of this space." The fox smiled bitterly.
"You are in the early stage of becoming a god, and this body of mine is also in the early stage of becoming a god!" Gu Zheng said.
"As the saying goes, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. You see, I can transmit messages to you now. This should make you envious, right? And I can transmit messages to you precisely because what I cultivate is not divine thought! But
, the special power I have cultivated has no lethality at all! Therefore, even if I can be released from the seal by the Mine God, I cannot escape the pursuit of the Maosen tribe. You are different, the divine mind you cultivate, your seal
Once you are lifted by the Mine God, you shouldn't be afraid of all the supervisors here just by relying on your spiritual thoughts, right?" the fox said.
"That's true, but Chief Crow can restrain my spiritual thoughts, otherwise I wouldn't be caught!" Gu Zheng said.
"The Mine God and the Crow Chief are both the gates of life and death in this space. If you use the right method, you will live, if you use the wrong method, you will die! If you can let the Mine God lift the seal for you, then you have used the right method.
As the Crow Chief of another Gate of Life and Death, he loses the qualification to hunt you down. This is the power of the law that he cannot defy. It is precisely because the Mine God is a Gate of Life and Death that the supervisors do not allow us to contact the Mine God."
Fox said.
"It doesn't make sense! If it's to prevent us from contacting the Mine God, we don't need this mine. Could it be that the ore is very important to Chief Crow?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"Yes, the ore is indeed very important to Chief Crow!"
The fox paused, then continued: "This space is very big, and the forces in this space are not only the Maosen tribe, but also a place called the Jinshi tribe, and the people there are spirits different from the Maosen tribe! Everyone
Every six months, the Maosen tribe will pay tribute to the Jinshi tribe, and the tribute is the various ores we dug. If it fails to meet the requirements of the Jinshi tribe, then Chief Crow will die!"
"How can I get the Mine God to help me lift the seal?"
After asking some doubts in my mind, the ancient dispute returned to the theme again.
"If you want the Mine God to help you lift the seal, you need to give the Mine God a potion. This potion is made from five things. They are: water jade, secret gold essence, ghostly silver, and gilded water.
, The fragrance of dark feathers." The fox said.
"I saw the Shuiying Jade from Chief Crow. He said that as long as I can complete the task for seven consecutive days, he will reward me." Gu Zheng said.
"Chief Crow actually said such a thing?" Fox looked a little surprised.
"Can it turn into the water-yellow jade that people want?"
The fox was so surprised, and Gu Zheng was a little unsure whether the water jade they were talking about was actually the same thing.
"Yes, that's Shuiying Jade!" said the fox.
"That's right, Chief Crow did say such a thing!" Gu Zheng said.
"Great, it seems that it is really possible to get out of here! Regardless of whether what Chief Crow said is true or false, at least you have seen Shuiying Jade, which is a very good start." Fox said.
"Don't Chief Crow know that Shuiying Jade is the key item to open another door of life and death?" Gu Zheng was confused again.
"Chief Crow himself is the gate of life and death, and he is also a chess piece. There are some things that he cannot know. If he knows, then it can only be said that the escape method I know is fake, and the gate of life and death is also fake. He is a chess piece.
It’s still fake, everything is fake!” said the fox.
"Where did you get all this information?" Gu Zheng suddenly felt uncertain.
"Somewhere in this world, there is a stone tablet engraved with the Book of Heaven. These things I know are from deciphering the inscription."
The fox paused and said solemnly: "Whether it's true or false, this is our only way, unless you want to be assimilated into this world and be a slave forever!"
"That's true."
Gu Zheng sighed: "Besides the water crystal jade, what are the other things?"
"The essence of secret gold is the essence of the secret gold mine. The possibility of encountering this kind of thing is extremely small. I was lucky enough to see it once. It is like a small metallic monster. If you really see it,
Naturally, we know that it is the essence of secret gold."
"Ghost Silver is the mineral I mine. Although this mineral is relatively rare, you don't have to worry about it. I will prepare this for you."
"The gilded water is in the wine pool and the meat forest that the Overseer opened for you that time. It is a kind of wine with a golden color. You will recognize it when you see it."
"The fragrance of dark feathers is something that is hard to get! There is a dark feather on the Crow Spirit Pearl. This dark feather is like the reverse scale of a dragon, but under this dark feather, it will secrete something similar to
The grease-like thing is called the Fragrance of Dark Feather. Before it is assimilated into this world, the Fragrance of Dark Feather smells extremely foul, but if it is assimilated into this world and becomes a member of the Crow Chief's territory,
Then the fragrance of Dark Feather can have a great attraction to people, that is, it is a real fragrance! If you perform well in the mine, you will have a chance to get it when Chief Crow feels that you have been assimilated into this world.
The fragrance of dark feathers.”
Gu Zheng's mood became heavy as the fox told him. Just refining a special potion, not to mention some of the subsequent things, it was already obvious that this process was very time-consuming! He couldn't let go of his extremely fragrant little building.
But the reality is that he has no good solution.
"After obtaining these things, how should the potion be refined?" Gu Zheng asked.
"After you get these things, I will help you refine the potion. Then you just need to take it to the Mine God at the right time," the fox said.
"The Dark Feather Fragrance can only be obtained if Chief Crow feels that I have been assimilated into this world! Taking the food they give is a process of accelerated assimilation, right? So how can I do it?
How can you, like you, eat the food they provide but not be assimilated into this world?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Indeed, eating the food they provide is a process of accelerated assimilation, but assimilation actually occurs all the time, just a little slower under normal circumstances. Just like if you eat the roots of a tree, you will also be assimilated! If
If you don't eat the food they provide, don't go to the wine pond and meat forest of the Eagle Beak Overseer, and stay like this, it will only be half a year before you are assimilated into this world! You must be able to feel pain now, and you will also feel them
Does the food provided to you taste better?" the fox asked.
