Mu Yang's consciousness was awake, but he couldn't open his eyes.
I couldn't move any part of my body.
He could clearly feel someone tapping his face, and an old voice seemed to want to wake him up.
Mu Yang felt helpless. He couldn't remember how many times he had been knocked down. This familiar feeling of coma,
It is almost becoming a part of his life.
After a long while, Mu Yang finally slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a face full of wrinkles.
The long beard is also black and white, and it seems that it has not been washed and groomed for a long time.
"Young man, please wake up quickly, we are going to work soon."
There was a trace of pity in the old man's eyes, as if he was sighing for Mu Yang's tragic fate.
Mu Yang's face was full of doubts when he heard this, and he said softly: "Work? What kind of work are you doing?"
"Hey, you'd better wake up quickly. You'll know later."
After the old man finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Following his back, Mu Yang saw a group of people wearing tattered clothes. Everyone's face was dirty.
And as if he was malnourished for a long time, he was so thin that even his skeleton could be clearly seen.
Looking around again, there should be a village here, but the short houses are all made of dry grass and dead branches.
Poverty is no longer enough to describe the situation here. The entire village is lifeless, and even the younger children have sad faces.
Mu Yang was about to get up when he suddenly saw something like a collar on his foot, and a trace of blood was flowing down his ankle.
"What the hell?"
Mu Yang subconsciously reached out to pick it, but he heard the old man shouting urgently: "Don't touch it!"
The old man hurriedly walked over, handed an earth-yellow thing to Mu Yang, and then sighed: "You didn't do it voluntarily, did you?"
"What's voluntary?"
"Hey, poor kid, now that you're here, you should adapt here as soon as possible." The old man paused and then said, "This thing on your feet is called a slave pen. You can't dismantle it and you can't run away, otherwise you will die."
"Look." After speaking, the old man exposed his ankle and pointed at the four long needles inserted into the flesh and said, "These four needles contain very overbearing poison.
Once triggered, it will be injected into your body immediately, and it will kill you in an instant."
"And that poison is not an ordinary poison. It can invade your soul and crush it into pieces, leaving no hope of survival."
Mu Yang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and couldn't help but secretly thought: "How can this stupid Qiu Yu be so vicious?"
"Then where is this place?" Mu Yang asked aloud and couldn't help but look around again.
"This is at the foot of Bald Mountain, and our location is Camp Three."
"Bald Mountain? Camp No. 3? What are you doing?"
"Hey, we are all slaves of Xuanjia Palace, helping them dig mines to make soul weapons and soul armor." The old man shook his head, and then said, "I have lived here for forty years.
I have seen countless young people like you who were caught here and tried to escape as soon as they woke up, but ended up dying here.
You must not do anything stupid. Only by working hard can you survive."
Mu Yang was immediately furious when he heard this. It was better now. Li Jiaojiao's life and death were uncertain, and he was caught as a coolie again.
But the slave circle that the old gentleman mentioned should have no effect on him, right?
I think that the pink light was very strong at first, but in the end it was blocked from the transparent energy.
If this poison is meant to corrode the soul, it will probably be blocked by the transparent energy.
But he didn't dare to risk it, because if he got hit, he would lose blood.
Over the next period of time, Mu Yang finally figured out what kind of place this place was.
It turns out that the bare mountain in front of me is a mine, and the reserves are so huge that it will take hundreds of years to empty them out through manual mining.
But the most troublesome thing is that this is actually a "monster spawning point" for soul beasts. Compared with the one by the seaside in Hengshui City, this place is
The number of monsters spawned here is much higher than that over there.
More than ten elementary soul beasts appear almost every day.
Fortunately, most of the people here are soul masters, and they can fight if they meet.
However, casualties occur from time to time, and almost every day someone dies at the mouth of a spirit beast.
What Muyang needs to do now is endless digging and mining. As long as the required amount cannot be completed in one day,
Then there will be no food.
With such rules, many people will eventually starve to death under the vicious cycle.
According to the old man, there are four camps around this mountain, located at the southeast and northwest foothills of Bald Mountain.
There are about a thousand coolies in each camp, and one responsible foreman is appointed for every hundred people.
Above the foreman is the camp manager. Each manager is a wise master and is responsible for sitting here.
Mu Yang secretly thought about it for a long time, and now it seems that he can only take the risk. If he is trapped here for too long,
Maybe something unexpected will happen to Li Jiaojiao. Isn't there some news about her?
I guess I have already missed it.
As for the sage general manager, there should be a chance to kill him without knowing his 'invincible' nature.
Just do what he said, Mu Yang made many twists and turns on the bald mountain and finally found a relatively secluded place. He was about to perform the 'Soul Killing'.
Suddenly I saw two figures approaching slowly.
Seeing this, Mu Yang quickly found a bunker, quietly hid his figure, and waited patiently.
"Brother, it's been so long, why hasn't he come to save us?"
The shorter person turned out to be a woman, and her sweet voice seemed extremely aggrieved, full of complaints.
"Don't worry, I believe he will come." The tall man raised his hand and rubbed her head, then took out a piece of khaki food and handed it to her.
The more Mu Yang listened, the more uncomfortable he became: "These two idiots, how come..."
"I'll wipe it!"
"Shengtai Shengran!"
Mu Yang screamed, immediately startling the two siblings.
"Brother Mu?"
"Muyang?"
The brother and sister quickly came to their senses and shouted in unison.
"Is it really you two?"
"Huh? Shengtai, why did you get hammered into such a bad shape?"
Mu Yang quickly ran towards the two of them, and only when he got closer did he realize that Shengtai's face was covered in bruises and bruises.
There were even blood stains on his clothes.
Shengtai couldn't care less about his ridicule, he was already so moved at this moment,
He really didn't expect that within a few months of knowing each other, Mu Yang would come and risk his life to save him, showing his righteousness!
"Brother Mu!" Sheng Ran was so excited that she threw herself into Mu Yang's arms, and her tears instantly fell out.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, I'm here, don't be afraid."
Mu Yang gently patted Sheng Ran on the back, trying to ease her mood.
Shengtai came back to his senses, looked Muyang up and down, and immediately discovered the slave ring on his feet.
His face immediately fell, and he wailed: "Oh no, why are you being cuffed too? Then why are you trying to save someone like this?"
Mu Yang's old face turned red when he heard this, and he said awkwardly: "I'm going deep into the tiger's den. You know a ball, can this thing hold me down?"
After saying that, he helped Sheng Ran away, picked up a stone, attached the word "soul-killing" to it, and threw it towards the slave pen.
"Don't!" Shengtai stopped him quickly when he saw this, and exclaimed in shock, "Are you crazy? If you hit him, the foreman and general manager will come immediately.
Let's run away for a while."
"Besides, if this thing breaks, someone will die."
Sheng Ran also looked at Mu Yang with a sad face, but she felt a lot more relieved at the moment, at least she could be with Mu Yang until she grew old.
"Oh, yes, I can do this alone. Now that there are two of you, I still need to consider the long term."
"Not just the two of us, Si Kui, Liu Tianyi, and Liu Qi are all here."
"What's going on? How did you..." Mu Yang realized it immediately in the middle of his words, his face turned cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Qiu Yu! Damn it!"
"Well, it was him. When we arrived in Luliang City that day, we immediately went to the residence of the Li clan to look for Li Jiaojiao.
Unexpectedly, I met Qiu Yu nearby, and then fell into his trap and was cast a "magic sealing curse" by a soul curser.
I’ll be here when I wake up.”
"What about Liu Tianyi and the others?"
"Liu Tianyi, like us, is also in Camp Three, Sikui is in Camp One, and Liu Qi is in Camp Two."
When Mu Yang heard this, he felt a headache, and they occupied three places in the southeast, northwest, and they could not free themselves from the slave pen at will like him.
This is big trouble.
"Okay, it looks like I'm going to stay here for a while." Mu Yang said melancholy, then suddenly remembered something and asked quickly, "Where is Li Jiaojiao?"
"I heard from Liu Tianyi that she seems to be locked up at home. We don't know why exactly."
Mu Yang suddenly took a deep breath and said: "Huh~ It's safe if you stay at home, that's good, that's good.
Then, we have to think about how to save everyone."
Shengtai thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "This slave pen is difficult to deal with. I heard that the manager has a switch in his hand that can be released or triggered.
And they seem to know our relationship. If one person escapes, the others may not survive.
They can only be rescued at the same time."
"I'm going, I'm in trouble."
Mu Yang covered his forehead, feeling quite annoyed.
As he said, this bald mountain is huge, and each camp is nearly twenty kilometers apart.
It is really difficult to rescue both at the same time.
This means that the general managers of the three camps must be gathered together and killed instantly.
After all, they were three sages, so killing them instantly would be a bit hasty.
And he still doesn’t know how this so-called switch works.
If you can control it with just your thoughts, then don't even think about it.
The three of them had a brief exchange and then went down the mountain and back to their huts.
According to Shengtai, Liu Tianyi was also in this camp, but he started working at different times.
So it's hard to meet.
Qi Sikui and Liu Qi are in the other two camps. It should be impossible to find them for the time being.
In the next few weeks, Muyang completed the task while observing everywhere.
Finally found Liu Tianyi in the camp.
At this moment, he is still the taciturn young man, silently enduring everything here.
When he saw Mu Yang, he just nodded briefly, which was considered a greeting.
"Tianyi, if you hold on for a while longer, I'll have a way to save everyone."
Mu Yang said with some choking, he really felt that he owed Liu Tianyi a lot,
This kid has been making silent contributions since the outskirts of Hualin City, so much so that he is still the weakest in the team.
The most expensive soul technique is just a heaven-level 'stepping branch'.
"I'm fine."
Liu Tianyi smiled, patted Mu Yang's shoulder gently, and then continued: "Li Jiaojiao is safe."
Mu Yang was even more moved when he heard this. At this time, he was still thinking about other people's feelings and their safety.
The two chatted for a while before Mu Yang left. Next, they needed to find a way to find Si Kui and Liu Qi as soon as possible.
If it takes too long, some accidents will inevitably happen. Mu Yang is a bit weak in luck.
But after a few weeks, Muyang still couldn't think of a way to get to other camps.
The only feasible way is to establish a good relationship with the foreman and general manager, and then be responsible for delivering food.
But from the interactions these days, it seems that the foreman and general manager must have been specially informed by Qiu Yu, and almost everyone is targeting him.
It is extremely difficult to have a good relationship.
