A thousand people live in a huge castle, and each person is only assigned a small room of less than ten square meters. They feel like animals in captivity.
Some government soldiers gave everyone a small black iron pickaxe, and told everyone how to dig Qingyang Gold and how to find Qingyang Gold.
"The monthly mission is ten. If you have one more, you can get one hundred divine sources. Of course... you can save it and turn it in as a mission next month. However, after the service time is up, all Qingyang Gold must be handed over.
, Anyone who is found hiding it will be killed without mercy. You are not allowed to rob other people's Qingyang Gold. Once discovered, you will be killed without mercy!"
The government troops left after giving an explanation. Everyone gathered in the hall of the castle and chatted non-stop. Some people had already left the castle to gather information.
Lu Li did not take action immediately. He waited quietly. Several people went out to gather information. It was expected that news would come soon. He was sharpening his sword and not chopping wood. He wanted to find out the situation first.
"Everyone, everyone!"
After half an hour, a dark-skinned little old man walked in. As soon as he came in, he said solemnly: "This Cangyan Mountain Range is indeed a pit. Many people have served here for hundreds of years. Qingyang Jin is very unhappy."
It's easy to dig. If you're lucky, you can complete a month's task in a few days, but if you're unlucky... you won't be able to dig out a piece for several months."
Lu Li and others' hearts sank. If they couldn't dig out a piece for several months, wouldn't they serve here indefinitely? The Cangyan Mansion had made a good calculation, thinking that the newly ascended gods would do long-term hard labor for them for free.
"Also...be careful, everyone!"
The little old man reminded again: "It is true that you cannot use force in Cangyan Valley, but the mines are very deep, and some are tens of millions of feet underground. The people above are not aware of the fighting below, and the government army will not care. People below often join forces.
To rob Qingyang Gold, I suggest... that we join forces, divide into groups, and jointly dig. If someone robs us, we can also protect ourselves, otherwise we will be easily killed."
Many people immediately agreed with the little old man's words. Although they were not familiar with each other, the people who ascended in the same group and entered the Cangyan Mountains together could be regarded as having some friendship. If they can unite, they will not be bullied by others and can protect themselves.
power.
"Okay, let's work in groups of fifty. If others bully us, we will rescue each other and take care of each other. Unity is our strength. No one can bully us."
A group of people chatted non-stop, and the discussion was in full swing. Many people began to take the lead in organizing. An orc god came towards Lu Li and asked Lu Li to join his team. Lu Li pondered for a moment but chose to refuse.
"Don't want to join the team? Humph, if you get chased later, we won't care about you."
The beast god looked at Lu Li mockingly, and many people glanced over with sarcastic expressions on their faces, looking a little unkind to Lu Li.
Lu Li has a very young life. He has been sitting cross-legged on the way to Cangyan Mansion and never chatted with others. Many people have noticed him for a long time. At this moment, Lu Li actually chooses not to team up with everyone. In the hearts of everyone, Lu Li is such a proud person.
A very arrogant person will naturally have no favorable impression of him.
Lu Li said nothing and stood silently. He did not join the group because it was inconvenient.
Another point is that if you form a team, you must be safe? Your teammates must be trustworthy? Not necessarily. We all come from different interfaces and don’t understand each other. Who knows whether they will stab you in the back?
Coming to this strange world, Lu Li didn't want to trust anyone for the time being and just wanted to rely on himself. It's not that he didn't have a trump card. The Deaf Taoist Divine Corpse was his trump card. Facing ordinary gods, he didn't have the strength to fight.
The castle was quickly divided into countless groups, all noisily heading outside, preparing to explore the mines. They were all gods who were very energetic and did not need to rest or adapt at all.
Most of the people in the spacious hall soon left. Lu Li found that there were also people who did not form a team like him, and watched with cold eyes as groups of people left.
"Shashasha~"
When Lu Li was about to go out, a purple-haired young man with a somewhat cold temperament came over from the corner. He cupped his hands and whispered: "Su Zixi, you come from Hongwu Realm. I don't believe those people. You are... very strong.
I want to team up with you."
"Well?"
Lu Li raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. He was also a newly ascended god. Su Zixi actually said that he was very strong?
He blinked and asked: "I just ascended, and what I understood was the ordinary true meaning. Why do you say I am strong?"
"have no idea!"
Su Zixi shook her head, then looked at Lu Li with piercing eyes and said: "It's just an intuition. I feel that you are the strongest among our group of people to ascend. I am right to follow you. My intuition has always been very accurate."
"hehe!"
Lu Li laughed dumbly. He himself didn't have the confidence, but Su Zixi had a lot of confidence in him. He shook his head and refused: "Sorry, I don't form a team, I go alone."
"Okay..." Su Zixi said with some regret: "Then can you tell me your name? I hope we can become friends in the future."
“Plow Deer!”
Lu Li pronounced his name backwards and used two homophones. After saying this, he walked out of the castle in a low-key manner, randomly chose a mine and walked in.
The mine is very large, thousands of feet wide, with black stones on all sides. People are constantly coming in and out, walking in a hurry.
Lu Li walked along the mine. The mine began to extend downwards. After walking for dozens of miles, several forks appeared. Lu Li randomly chose a fork and continued moving forward. His mind scanned the surroundings, looking for Qing Qing.
Yangjin.
Of course, he knew that Qingyang Gold would not be found here. If there were, it would have been excavated long ago. Along the way, he could see many potholes on the stone walls, which had obviously been excavated.
Lu Li's spiritual sense is very powerful. Although the space of the divine world is stable, it can still detect tens of thousands of miles in radius. However, the black stones in the mine can affect the exploration of his spiritual sense. Lu Li can only explore into a few hundred feet, and cannot explore any further.
.
Running all the way, I encountered a fork along the way. The mines below were getting smaller and smaller. They should have been dug out by others. I don’t know how many years the Cangyan Mountains have existed and how many people have dug them. There are mines everywhere.
, there are traces of excavation everywhere.
After running for half an hour, Lu Li felt that he had traveled at least tens of thousands of miles, but he didn't find any Qingyang Gold. Lu Li did encounter a lot of people on the road, and saw teams after teams, but they were only a few people.
One group glanced at Lu Li, ignored him, and left in a hurry.
"It's like an ant nest under this mine."
Lu Li almost fainted inside, so he simply ignored it and continued moving downwards. There must be no Qingyang Gold in the mines above. With so many people searching for it, how could there still be Qingyang Gold?
"Huh? There's someone, Qing Yang Jin!"
After running for another half an hour, Lu Li found a man in a small mine. His spiritual sense detected that he had just dug out a piece of Qingyang Gold.
"Go away!"
A murderous voice came from inside. The man immediately put the Qingyang Gold into his arms, then took out a sword, pointed it at Lu Li and said, "You want to steal my Qingyang Gold? Believe it or not, I will kill you!"
