The guards took a roll call and found that except for the injured who fell on the ground, everyone was there, so they began to arrange breakfast. There were still two kinds of treatment. Most of the slaves ate batter and didn't dare to say anything. At least some of them ate.
. ?
Akiyu was prepared with broth and scones, and for safety reasons, he was allowed to eat them alone in a corner, and there were guards to supervise other slaves to avoid another fight.
After breakfast, a guard said angrily: "The work has started, no one is allowed to be lazy, otherwise don't blame me for being rude..."
The life of slavery is destined to be full of hardships. Even if a group of strong men are highly cultivated and now reduced to this, they can only obey orders and continue to cut meteorites. The bearded strong man is also included in the group because he is unable to extract black iron.
In this camp, only his beard was burned off and there were burn marks on his body. He looked more and more miserable.
As a result, Qiu Yu was left to smelt meteorites alone, and the pressure was quite high. After all, extracting a certain amount of black iron was considered a chore by others, but he didn't think so. Anyway, he didn't have to worry about food and drink.
Think of it as practicing fire attribute skills. After all, you will make progress while using martial arts, and your skills will also deepen.
There are many small pieces of meteorites placed on the stone table in front of them, some of which are in a semi-melted state and are semi-finished products that the bearded strongman had previously refined.
Taking a slight breath of concentration, Qiu Yu waved his palms like clouds and flowing water, but he heard a whirring sound, and flames surged out from his palms, which turned purple and was very gorgeous, causing the surrounding temperature to rise suddenly. As his palms swayed slightly,
, the flame twisted like a snake and rushed to the long table, rolling up a meteorite and rising into the air.
Even though this meteorite is only no bigger than a fist, it weighs dozens of kilograms. Now it is wrapped in the fire of magma, and it is constantly being heated and smelted...
Because the black iron was successfully extracted yesterday, Qiu Yu was already familiar with the process, and there was almost no difficulty. In less than half a day, the black iron was extracted and he placed it on the table casually.
Even so, his face was covered with sweat. He let out a long sigh, then jumped onto a huge rock to meditate and rest. In fact, he was running the spiritual energy in his body and starting another cultivation mode. He really didn't waste every minute.
Those strong men are also paying attention to this situation. Because they were beaten violently last night, some of them can't help but harbor resentment. They hope insidiously that Qiu Yu cannot smelt black iron, and it is best to be crippled by Song Yanluo in order to eliminate them.
of anger.
However, things backfired. It was only half a day, and before noon, a piece of black iron had been extracted, making them gnash their teeth with hatred, but there was nothing they could do.
The progress in the afternoon was also quite smooth. He extracted black iron from another meteorite. It didn't take much trouble. Qiu Yu completed the task. He also felt that his skills had improved. He felt that being a slave here was nothing.
, at least it's more comfortable than being in a dungeon, and nothing is wasted.
At dusk again, Song Yanluo came to inspect the fruits of everyone's work. He arrived at a group of strong men first. When he saw that the meteorites he had cut were not as many as yesterday, he couldn't help but get furious and cursed. He was so frightened that these people all knelt down on the ground out of fear.
My whole body was shaking.
A strong man said in a trembling voice: "Returning to your lord, it is really because Mr. Zeng was injured and could not participate in the work, and there was a lack of one person to perform the cutting. In addition, everyone was punished last night and their abilities were reduced, so they did not complete the task. Please forgive me, lord."
."
After hearing what he said, Song Yanluo felt that it made sense. He turned around and looked at the old guy lying in the corner. It turned out that there were fewer people working, so no wonder the progress was slower. However, he couldn't be reasonable. For the sake of
Shuweifeng said fiercely: "You are so bold and dare to quibble. It's obvious that you are lazy and don't work. Come on, give these guys ten lashes each."
When the guards came forward and whipped a group of people with whips, making a crackling sound, the strong men did not dare to say anything and could only grit their teeth and endure.
Fortunately, it was just a whipping, and they were able to withstand it. In order to drive the slaves to work more, Song Yanluo distributed healing medicine to a group of guys for the first time, and ordered the strong men to treat the severely injured Zeng Lao.
Instead of feeling compassion, he wanted to save his life and continue to work as a cow and a horse.
It was obvious that Song Yanluo was very good at managing prisoners. After teaching a group of slaves a lesson, he walked over to Qiu Yu and saw the two pieces of black iron placed on the stone table. His eyes flashed brightly and he quickly stretched out his hand.
When he reached out, a surge of spiritual power rushed over, rolled up the black iron and flew back, falling into his hand, feeling it carefully.
"Yes, the black iron is of good quality, you did a good job!" Song Yanluo said with excitement on his face. At this point, the troubles that had troubled him for many days were finally solved, and he felt happy.
"I'm not very talented, but I finally completed the task assigned by the adults." Qiu Yu looked humble. After all, he was a slave at the moment, so he couldn't be too arrogant, otherwise he would easily cause trouble.
Song Yanluo rolled his eyes, thinking about it, and said in a deep voice: "It's just that extracting two pieces of black iron in one day is too little, and the progress is still slow. We should refine three pieces of the same size."
Qiu Yu frowned, naturally he would not agree. He is really trying to go too far, and wants to squeeze out all my bone marrow oil! He responded: "Master Qi, I have tried my best, and I can only do this, and I can't do it at all."
You don’t have to stick to it. If you are still not satisfied, then let others come over and melt it.”
There is no doubt that this kid is very difficult to manipulate, which makes Song Yanluo feel angry, but he can't do anything. After all, he is the only one who can do it. If it were someone else who could still have this ability, he could only suppress his anger and said:
"In this case, you should keep going and complete your current tasks every day."
Qiu Yu nodded and said without missing a moment: "As long as I eat and drink well every day to replenish my strength, I should be able to do it."
You bastard, you are really more cunning than a fox. You never forget to make terms with me. How can it be unreasonable? I just want you to bluster for a while and see how I will destroy you in the future! Song Yanluo cursed secretly in his heart. He is also extremely insidious, but on his face
Without showing any emotion, he said, "Then it's a deal."
The two parties also reached a verbal agreement. In the next seven days, the other strong men still ate poor food and were exhausted. Only Qiu Yu ate wine and meat every day and became more energetic. As his skill continued to increase,
The speed of smelting meteorites has also been shortened. It only requires refining two pieces, and the rest of the time is busy practicing skills.
On this day, Song Yanluo came over personally and ordered Qiu Yu to fuse the black iron extracted over many days into one piece. It turned out that the Siren Ancestor was going to inspect the goods.
This was not a difficult task, but it was just a piece of cake for Qiu Yu. It took him a while to melt and re-melt many small pieces of dark iron to form a large piece, and then handed it over to the other party.
