"How is this possible? I can't even feel anyone's breath!" Kite shouted, "And look at those plants and trees, they don't look like they have just grown. They should be many years old."
"Yes, Master." The little slave girl lowered her body and said, "Because there are many mineral veins, some masters will forget their slaves and let them fend for themselves. Moreover, if the mining slaves want to survive, they must continue to go deeper. Digging, where there are many mineral veins, there will be more grass that can be eaten."
"Then why don't they dig up?" Mu Ziyun thought this was quite ridiculous. How could a group of people survive underground? How long can they survive eating grass if no one cares about them? Is there water?
"Master" the little slave girl continued: "There is no light underground, they can only touch it with their hands. They may not know which direction they are digging in. If they are lucky enough to dig to the ground, they will most likely be sent back underground, so No matter where you dig, the result will be the same."
"It didn't take long for the world to reorganize. Could it be that in such a short period of time, the so-called masters have lost their humanity?"
"Master, slavery has always been prevalent in this sea area. The use of slaves to mine mines has a history of at least hundreds of years in the Tariyang Kingdom."
"What about those slaves?" Ling Dang was confused by this terrible phenomenon. "Have they been brainwashed? They won't resist?"
"Slaves are meant to serve their masters and die for their masters, right?" When this teenage slave girl said this, she smiled innocently, and her eyes were so fascinating that she looked so full of energy. Fake, with a hint of innocence, it’s hard to imagine that just a year and a half ago, she was still a human being, a girl who still hated slavery.
The little slave girl continued: "But those low-level slaves don't need to trouble their masters to brainwash them. Their nature of wanting to live will make them continue to dig out mines. Guys like that will die if they die. , it is our honor as slaves to be able to create value for our masters.”
Everyone took a breath of cold air, feeling mixed emotions due to the little slave girl's words. Li Peiyun stood next to Lingdang, sighed, and said: "I have only been captured for two months, and I am already close to collapse. If there is one more Yue, I might say the same thing to her, those beasts are using all kinds of means to torture us, and no one can stand it."
Huzi frowned and asked, "How long have you been separated from that friend?"
"Master, it's been almost a year."
"One year," Huzi said worriedly, "If you stay down there for one year, you will definitely die."
"Master, Xiaonu remembers that after we separated, two groups of people were chasing Xiaonu and Du Xiaoyue. The person chasing Du Xiaoyue was the owner of this mine. Xiaonu didn't know if she had been caught, but Most of the girls in the Tatar Kingdom are destined to be slaves. A beautyless slave like her is not qualified to serve the master and can only work in the mines!" When the little slave girl said this, she deliberately listened to her breasts, as if for I feel proud that I can serve my master directly. "However, Master Xiaonu thinks she will not die, because she told Xiaonu that she wants to become stronger and goes to sea alone to learn skills. It seems that all her family members are dead and she wants revenge, so she must Will survive."
"Du Xiaoyue" Huzi looked silently among the mountains. Everywhere was lush and green, with no place to stay at all. Who would believe that there were still some living slaves desperately looking for a way out in the underground covered with weeds and flowers? , and, among those people, there are his compatriots
"Do it!" Huzi gave the order solemnly. Muziyun burned the grass with fire, and the bell inserted his fingers into the soil. Roots grew from his fingers and spread deep into the ground to explore the mine road. The bell was the magic tiger. He made his body rise to a height of seven feet and seven, and used his front palms to scrape the soil to a certain depth. Fang Tianmu then went in to explore the energy in the ground.
All the slaves found tools, stones or sticks, and began to go into the pit and dig up the soil. Things did not go smoothly. Because they did not know the specific location of the veins, they dug wrongly more than a dozen times. No trace of the man could be found.
Late at night, Huzi's hands were still stuck in the ground, clawing at the hard soil.
"Take a rest, Huzi." Mu Ziyun was exhausted, as if he had taken a bath in the quagmire. He sat next to Huzi sadly and said, "Look at your grass and land. It has been dry for at least half a year. After climbing over it for so long, there is no light, no water, only grass, she can't survive."
Huzi stopped, kept his kneeling position, grabbed some dirt with both hands, and brought it to Mu Ziyun's eyes, "Come closer."
Mu Ziyun lowered his body, and Hu Zi sprinkled the soil on Mu Ziyun's head. Mu Ziyun remained silent and did not speak. Hu Zi stared at him and said, "If you were down there, would you give up hope?"
"I don't know."
"I don't know whether you will or not, but I know that you don't want the person who is saving you to give up hope. She is from Huzhou. Even if she dies, take her back to your hometown."
"Yeah" Mu Ziyun moved his body back, "Hu Zi"
"Um?"
"After you find her, can you take her home?"
"And you?"
"I will follow you. If you return, I will also return."
This time, Huzi was not in a hurry to answer. He fell into deep thought. It was not that Muziyun didn't want to go home, but that various phenomena now showed that there was a force similar to fate, guiding him and guiding these people who were born to be different from others. Different guys, maybe, they really have a mission that they have to do.
"It doesn't matter." Huzi grinned, "The one who brought you out must also take you back. I can't go to see eldest sister alone to see Li Mu." (Li Mu's grave)
The two smiled at each other. One of the two men was eighteen years old and the other was twenty-one years old.
They lay on the dirt and slept all night. In the early morning of the next day, the bell hurriedly woke them up and shouted: "Brother Mu has sensed the energy in the ground." The three people ran out quickly.
Half of Fang Tianmu's black knife was stuck in the ground. He was pressing his hands on the handle of the knife with his eyes slightly closed. Huzi ran over and asked urgently: "Brother Fang, how many people are there?"
"It's always changing," Fang Tianmuleng said: "The energy is very weak, similar to that of an insect, but it is indeed a human being."
"What does it mean to keep changing?" Mu Ziyun asked, "Boy, you don't really think of insects as humans, do you?"
Fang Tianmu opened his eyes and said coldly: "They are people, but they are dying with every breath. The dead people may live again after a while. They live and die like this, and there is no difference between life and death." ."
"How deep?"
"About two hundred feet above the ground."
"So deep!" Kite exclaimed, "If I drill there, the roots of the tree might be able to get there."
"Okay, then quickly drill in and see if there are people there."
"Okay!" Kite squatted down and inserted his hands into the soil. A large number of tree roots drilled in one direction, fifty feet, one hundred feet, and one hundred and fifty feet later. The roots were a little weak. The mud and stone there were very hard. , I could only grope downward inch by inch, and it took more than half an hour to reach the two hundred feet.
"Is it clear?" Everyone asked anxiously.
"No, it's not even close." After a few more breaths, Kite shouted, "It's clear! Eh? Isn't that right?"
"What's wrong?"
"The roots of my tree are gone. Wait a while and I will drill the roots again." Then the kite cried out again, "No, no, my roots are gone as soon as they get there."
"Is there some kind of barrier here? Can it block foreign objects and prevent slaves from escaping?" Huzi asked suspiciously.
"Everyone" Li Peiyun opened her mouth, "Slaves like that, no one will take care of them. It can't be the barrier, it should be them."
"What do you mean?"
"They are hungry, they will eat anything."
"What do you mean?" Kite covered his mouth, "They ate the roots! This is too fast!"
Huzi stood up, walked around, and muttered: "How to get down, how to dig a way out."
"Up and down together!" Mu Ziyun clapped his legs and said, "We dug up and they dug down, and finally they came together. The kite gave them the roots and used the roots to guide them."
"good!"
Everyone made a simple and quick plan. The kite used tree roots to attract the underground slaves. Huzi and Fang Tianmu made noise on the ground to attract the attention of the underground slaves. The bell led the slaves to prepare a large amount of food, water and Herbal medicine.
Mu Ziyun squatted next to Kite and grabbed Kite's hand, "Ah! Smelly wood, you are looking for death!"
"Give them some light."
"Um?"
"They haven't seen light for a long time. Maybe their eyes are damaged. Start with a subtle light and slowly let them regain the feeling of light." Mu Ziyun grabbed the kite's hand and called out the fire beads.
"No!" Kite whispered: "I can't touch your fire."
Yes, Mu Ziyun hurriedly moved to the side. Kite gritted his teeth and pulled out a small section of the tree root, and then signaled Mu Ziyun to act quickly. Mu Ziyun thought to himself: "The roots of this tree are at least two hundred feet deep in the ground. How strong is this woman?" Then he gently placed his hand on the root of the tree. Mu Ziyun's flame was too strong and he could only Let the fire beads float under his hands, absorbing the large amount of fire energy he emitted, and let the very small amount of fire energy flow into the ground along the roots of the tree in the form of a thin mist.
Deep underground, in the endless darkness, occasionally in a corner, a small fire cloud will appear inadvertently. Its light is very weak and fleeting. In the darkness, there is the never-ending sound of chewing.
