There was silence in a tunnel on the tenth floor of the mine, and everyone froze on the spot. Instead of the ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pang-pong digging sound, there was an incomprehensible voice.
Because the person sitting on the ground is the master of this mine, the person who controls the life and death of all slaves, Pei Yuan.
"Ha~ don't be so nervous, just relax, relax." Pei Yuan saw a different atmosphere here from elsewhere, so he stopped here specifically.
After all, starting from the first floor of the mine and walking all the way to the tenth floor, it is inevitable that you will feel a little tired physically and mentally. It is also a good choice to rest here for a while before walking.
It just so happened that the people here were a little different, which aroused his curiosity. If he talked to them, he might be able to get unexpected surprises.
Pei Yuan glanced at everyone one by one and said with a smile: "Xianlang's son, Pei Yuan. Come, sit down and talk."
Zi Yang and the other three people's faces were slightly calmer. They stared at Pei Yuan and slowly sat down. They told him their names without any trace of fear on their faces.
On the contrary, Jia Juesheng and Zhufeng had their hands full of sweat. They had seen this kind of thing a lot, and the more people put smiles on their faces, the more terrifying they were.
The most terrifying thing is that he is also the owner of this mine.
Let me ask, how can a master and a slave be equal?
Pei Yuan pointed at the two of them, and seeing that Zi Yang didn't have any pretense as a mine owner, he asked with a smile: "Are these two your friends? It seems that they don't give me, Pei, this face."
The smile on Pei Yuan's face gradually solidified, and there was a hint of threat in his words.
Zi Yang glanced at the two of them, and they all dropped their pickaxes and sat next to the sloppy man, not daring to sit too close to Pei Yuan.
"How long have you been coming to the mine?" Pei Yuan asked casually.
Zi Yang said calmly: "It's been almost half a month."
"Half a month." Pei Yuan nodded to himself and continued: "After being here for so long, have you noticed that apart from you, there are no young people like you in this mine? Are there any?"
Ziyang and others shook their heads.
Pei Yuan smiled and continued: "In the past, most of the people sent by Ghost Three were old, weak, sick and disabled. How can there be anyone like you who has been mining for nearly half a month and is still thinking about how to escape."
Zi Yang opened his eyes slightly and said, "You heard it all."
"Sorry. I overheard it, otherwise I wouldn't be here." Pei Yuan said calmly.
"What are you going to do?" Jia Juesheng suddenly became bolder.
"Don't worry, I haven't finished what I said yet. Gui San sent you guys to me because he wanted to use your hands to get rid of me." Seeing everyone confused, Pei Yuan explained: "That's the one The man in the mink coat is Ghost Three."
"Aren't you all in the same group? Why did he want to get rid of you?" Zhufeng spoke without thinking, then quickly closed his mouth.
Pei Yuan pointed at him, blinked, and said with a smile: "That's a good question! What would you do to a person who is stronger than several other mine owners but disobeys discipline?"
Everyone looked at each other, obviously not knowing how to answer him.
Pei Yuan slapped his head and asked: "You have a subordinate who is stronger than yourself and disobeys your orders. What will you do?"
Jia Juesheng sneered and said in detail: "Get rid of him! If you don't take action, you will only let others take your place. Where will you go?"
"It's better to strike first! A sharp thorn pierces the palm of your hand. If you don't pull it out, how can you sleep peacefully?"
"That's right!" Pei Yuan cast an appreciative look at him and said, "I didn't believe you had the power to overthrow me at first. But when I heard what you just said, I suddenly changed my mind."
The sloppy man asked hurriedly: "You want to let us go?"
Pei Yuan laughed loudly, looked at Zi Yang and asked, "If you can leave here smoothly, what is the first thing you will do?"
"Destroy this place, and then destroy the rest of the mines." Zi Yang said with a serious face.
"Do you have that strength?" Pei Yuan stared at him with a smile.
Zi Yang met his gaze and said with a serious smile: "How will you know if I have this strength if you don't try it."
Pei Yuan smiled and left.
"I don't know why, but I always feel that this matter is not as simple as he said." Jia Juesheng looked heavy, but he couldn't figure out what he had overlooked.
Zhufeng said in a deep voice: "Although I don't know what his purpose is, I feel that we have no other choice but to help him."
"Help him?!" Zi Yang explained in detail: "He doesn't need our power, he just wants to borrow our hands to clear the obstacles for him."
"What are you going to do?" the sloppy man asked.
"If I don't agree to him, there is only death waiting for us. Of course, this depends on our own strength. He will look down upon a person who is of no use value." Ziyang smiled mysteriously.
"So..." Xiaohai looked up at him.
Zi Yang stretched out his hand to pinch his face and said with a smile, "So we are leaving here soon."
"I always feel like that guy doesn't look like a good guy." Jia Juesheng on the side was still unwilling. The feeling of being taken advantage of made him extremely unhappy, especially when you knew you were being taken advantage of and still rushed forward without hesitation. .
Zhufeng persuaded: "There is no way, who made us prisoners?"
The sloppy man picked up the pickaxe and urged: "Don't think about it, hurry up and work, otherwise you won't even be able to drink porridge at night."
Zi Yang said excitedly: "What kind of work are you still doing? We don't have to continue mining here anymore. Tonight he will not only bring wine and meat, but maybe also some spiritual source stones."
"By the way! Xiaohai, what do you want to eat after you go out?"
Xiao Hai whispered: "I want to eat small dried fish."
"Okay! Then let's eat dried fish." Zi Yang picked him up and walked out of the tunnel.
Looking at the two people walking out, the sloppy man asked: "No! Hasn't he agreed to let us go yet? If he changes his mind, then I will be hungry."
Before he finished speaking, Pei Yuan's voice rang throughout the tunnel, saying: "Whoever among you can defeat me, I will let you go safely."
Zhufeng was unconvinced and said: "We are both in the fifth realm of entry, who is afraid of whom? I will go first!"
"You'd better forget it and don't go up and embarrass yourself." Jia Juesheng said unceremoniously.
"Cripple, you may not be able to beat me, so what qualifications do you have to stand here and speak?" Zhufeng curled his lips and said.
"You have nothing but wine and rice bags, I..." Jia Juesheng clenched his hands together and said nothing further.
Just because he didn't have the Spiritual Origin Stone in his hand, and he might not be able to beat Zhufeng with his bare hands, even the confidence in his words was slightly lacking.
Seeing that he didn't dare to speak, Zhufeng walked up to him shamelessly, patted his chest, and taunted: "Lame, don't worry, after I defeat that kid, I will definitely take you away. Ha." Ha ha!"
Jia Juesheng's face was ashen, and he couldn't say much, so he had to walk out of the tunnel alone.
Wu Zhengzhen
Wu Yuanxiao was reading a book upstairs when he suddenly felt unbearably hot under his feet, as if he was being baked in a stove. His clothes gradually became wet with sweat.
He put the book on the table and hurried downstairs. He found that the ground outside the door was red, like pig iron that had just been heated by a fire.
The wooden door and windows had long since disappeared, leaving behind a pile of black powder.
After hearing the sound, Hua Yao stood up quickly, wiped the blood on the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, then quickly lay down on the bed, and then covered her body with the quilt.
Wu Yuanxiao dragged his shoes forward. When he walked in, he saw that the blood on the ground had solidified just like before.
He did not speak, but stood under the door frame with a solemn expression, his hands clasped behind his back, unwilling to go out.
Hua Yao gently pulled off the quilt covering her eyes and looked at him quietly, like a child who made a mistake.
"Yao Yao, if you continue to work hard like this, your body will inevitably suffer backlash. By then, the old injuries will have added new ones before they heal, and you will be completely useless. Do you know?" Wu Yuanxiao clenched his hands. His body was shaking, and he slowly turned his head to look at her.
It was precisely because of his action that tears fell quietly from his eyes, without even him knowing.
Wu Yuanxiao shook his head and said in a daze: "A useless person, who would be willing to take care of you? Is what you have done really worth it? Huh?"
"I lost everything to save you. Do you 'cherish' your body like this? Are you worthy of me? Are you worthy of Xiuwen?"
"Xiuwen suffered from illness all day long because of your family. Do you know how many people died because of the things you were involved in?"
After saying that, Wu Yuanxiao walked out of the room, quickly returned upstairs, sat on the chair by the window, and opened the medical book.
Hua Yao hid in the quilt and sobbed. What Wu Yuanxiao just said deeply stimulated her.
No one likes a loser.
Not long after Wu Yuanxiao went upstairs, Zifu came with his feet on the blue clouds, flew into the room from the window, picked up the teapot on the table and took a few sips.
After that, he took the medical book from Wu Yuanxiao's hand, threw it aside without reading it, and said: "Reading is so boring. Let's go out and compete."
After saying that, he grabbed Wu Yuanxiao's arm and walked out.
After Wu Yuanxiao broke free, he opened the medical book and pretended to read: "You and I are so different in realm. I can't beat you, but reading is still interesting."
Zifu fanned the breeze with his hand and said, "Then we can lie on the lawn and talk about swordsmanship in the sun. You can't refuse this, right? It's weird? This room is so hot. What's going on?"
"Let's go!" Wu Yuanxiao flew out of the window with a whoosh, and Zifu immediately became interested and chased after him.
The medical book on the table was slowly blown open, but the content on the page was exactly opposite to where Wu Yuanxiao was sitting. Even he didn't know that he had been holding the medical book upside down.
Zi Fu, whose heart was in heaven, actually ignored this.
