A few months ago, he held a banquet to thank Manager Liu. At that time, there was a young man named He who was traveling with Shopkeeper Liang. That person was a disciple of the Xuanfu Sect.
What's your last name? Zhou Yang suddenly thought of the He brothers. Could it be that the young man was also a member of the He family?
There should be no mistake, that young man must have tricked him. That day at the wine table, he only asked one question and confirmed his identity, and his motive was only because of He Dongcang!
This is really a joy that brings sorrow. Everything went smoothly before and I earned a lot of spiritual stones. I didn't expect that I only invited guests once and ended up in this situation. It's also my own fault. If I had found out the other party's identity and responded early, this wouldn't be the case.
"It's this damn He family again, it's really lingering!" Zhou Yang was secretly annoyed, and his forehead was so angry that veins were popping up, and he was filled with hatred. After a while, he secretly wondered: "When did He Dongcang arrive in Anping City again!"
He carefully recalled the days of his escape, and soon he figured out the context and roughly understood the causes and consequences.
Calculating time, He Dongcang could have been to Anping City only during the seven or eight days when he took care of Red Tiger in the cave of Fenghuang Valley. And he probably doesn't know his secret yet, and he hasn't found himself yet. If Gothe arrived in Anping City, then he would not only be sent to be a slave in the mines, but in a certain sense, it would also be thanks to the beast tide.
Since the young man surnamed He was behind the scenes, but instead of killing himself, he still went to the mine to work as a slave. There should be two reasons. One is because Xuanfu Sect is in urgent need of cultivators as slaves. The second is to let yourself fend for yourself in the mine. This is about squeezing the value out of oneself and finally dying oneself. It is really vicious.
After understanding this, Zhou Yang became more and more frightened as he thought about it. What kind of big family is this He family? Why are there their children everywhere? And why do they send their family members to various major cities?
These problems are a little far away from him for the time being, but there is currently no way to escape. Now there is really no way to heaven and no way to earth.
"Alas, from now on I can only take one step at a time." Zhou Yang sighed secretly.
After eating, all the low-level cultivators had their acupuncture points sealed by the black-armored guards, but those mortals did not have this treatment.
The beast roars so loudly in the night that all mortals are too frightened to sleep.
Early the next morning, the team continued to set off, but the speed was obviously not fast as they rushed through the forest.
After walking for another three days, they gradually reached the edge of the forest. At this time, you can already see the mountains in the distance.
These three days were the most thrilling three days.
They were unlucky. Not only had they been attacked by monsters seven or eight times, but two high-level fifth-level monsters appeared on the last occasion! During the entire battle, five black-armored guards were torn to pieces by monsters, and more than ten people were seriously injured. Even the Tianyuan realm old man was in a very embarrassed state. In the end, he had to use the formation, spent a lot of spiritual stones, let the magical weapons surge wildly in the formation, and made the spiritual talismans fly all over the sky. Only then did he severely injure the two monsters, and then they were forced to escape.
In the final victory of this battle, the Tianyuan realm old man played a decisive role. This made Zhou Yang more deeply impressed by the Tianyuan cultivator's combat prowess, especially the magical weapon he used.
The magic weapon used by the old man is completely different from that of the Black Armored Guard. It is not on the same level at all. It is almost beyond the scope of the magic weapon. However, it is also very different from the legendary magic weapon. As for how it is different, he, a small Kaiyuan cultivator, naturally cannot say. clear.
This battle also resulted in nearly half of the Black Armored Guards' casualties and heavy losses, but the Xiunu and the mortals on the back of the Earthly Dragon were unscathed.
"If this is spread by the Xuanfu Sect, it will definitely be a touching drama in which the disciples of this sect do not hesitate to sacrifice their own lives and fight to protect the weak. Huh, this is really a great irony!" The above thoughts flashed through my mind. , Zhou Yang shook his head secretly.
Through this battle, Zhou Yang finally saw the strength of Xuanfu Sect. It is worthy of being one of the three sects in Anping City. The formation formed by just dozens of middle and low-level cultivators completely suppressed the strength of two high-level monsters. . What's even more arrogant is that those mid-to-high-level talismans don't require spiritual stones to be produced. They are so luxurious that even masters of fake elixirs will have a headache when they encounter them.
The further the team moved forward, the more Zhou Yang became frightened. If he were to go on the road by himself, his life would definitely be in danger.
Finally walking out of the forest, the group entered the Cangshou Mountain, which stretches thousands of miles.
For several days, the mining slaves did not eat a single meal, and they barely ate another meal after entering the mountains. The cultivators were a little better. Some of those mortals had fainted from hunger and fell on the back of the dragon. They didn't even have the strength to get up. What's more, several mortals with weak constitutions starved to death after unsuccessfully begging for food.
The bodies of those people were randomly thrown into the woods, and it would not take long for them to become food for monsters.
This may be the revenge of the Xuanfu Sect disciples. They fought desperately against the monsters, but the mine slaves were hiding behind them without any danger. They must not be balanced in their hearts. There should be another reason, that is, they are afraid that these mine slaves will have other ideas after they are full and drunk, and it will be difficult to control them then.
Zhou Yang was also so hungry that he lost all strength. He sat on the back of the terrain dragon and was too lazy to move. He kept cursing the Xuanfu Sect in his heart.
Cangshou Mountain really deserves its reputation. The peaks are undulating and endless, and it is countless times wider than Daqing Mountain.
Not long after, the mountain road they were walking on gradually became higher and more rugged and difficult to navigate. In the end, there was only room for one monster in the middle of the road, and nearly twenty large monsters formed a long dragon, winding its way through the mountains.
After climbing over several peaks and passing through a dense forest, Zhou Yang thought he was almost there, but he didn't expect that there were still endless mountains ahead, and the roars of the beasts were getting louder and louder, which showed that there were a lot of monsters in the mountains. In such a situation, even the well-trained monitor lizards and ground dragons were so frightened that they trembled all over.
With what little fighting power they have left, if they move forward, the entire army will be annihilated.
The Tian Yuan old man drank the giant lizard and released a bird to deliver the message to the mine. Then the whole team camped under a mountain peak, waiting for reinforcements.
About three hours later, it was completely dark, but a group of black-armored guards came running from a distance, numbering sixty or seventy people. These Xuanfu Sect disciples did not ride on giant lizards, but each had a blue wolf.
The leader is an old man in gray clothes. Judging from the aura, he is actually the same as the Tianyuan master in the team. The green wolf under him is obviously taller and more powerful than the others. He is covered in green hair and has a high head. He should have reached the fourth level or above.
The two Tianyuan masters chatted for a few words, and the team began to light torches, and then followed the Qinglang Brigade towards the mountains.
It is different in the mountains and in the forest. The high-level monsters here are very afraid of the marching brigades, especially the brigades with torches. If you camp in place, you will be easily attacked, so after the two teams meet, they set off immediately without delay.
After walking for about a whole night, Zhou Yang felt dizzy and numb all over. At this time, he felt that he had entered a cave. The cave was very large, deep, and cold, and there was the sound of water falling and rocks falling from time to time. He couldn't help but trembled, and woke up. He looked around, but it was completely dark, and he couldn't see his fingers.
After walking through the cave for two or three hours, I saw a bright light in front of me. It was the exit of the cave.
Zhou Yang suddenly felt comfortable all over, and his chest opened wide. However, the spiritual energy here is very strong. Although it cannot be completely absorbed, the fatigue all over the body is immediately relieved a lot when surrounded by the spiritual energy.
Ahead is a flattened mountain, and above the mountain is a flat land with rows of stone houses.
Could it be that the spirit stone mine has arrived! Only in places where mineral veins exist can spiritual energy be so strong.
When they arrived at the mountain plains, the old man in black gathered all the mining slaves together, and the black-armored guards distributed some food and water, and the mining slaves began to eat. The food given this time was relatively sufficient, and I was basically able to eat enough. It seems that they have really arrived at the place, and the people of Xuanfu Sect are relieved.
After eating, the mining slaves were placed in those stone houses with locks on the doors. However, all low-level cultivators did not have their acupoints sealed and were finally able to move.
After seven days and seven nights of nervous driving, I could finally take a break. Although the stone house was filled with the stench of sweat, Zhou Yang still had a good sleep, and his tired energy recovered a lot the next day.
In the morning, the black-armored guard let them out of the room.
A black-armored guard who looked like a captain loudly said to the mining slaves: "From today on, you are the mining slaves of my Xuanfu Sect, and your task is to mine spiritual stones. The work is a bit tiring, but You can have enough to eat every day, and you can take turns to rest at night, without any danger to your life. Of course, this is on the premise of abiding by the rules, otherwise you will only have one end, and that is death!"
He bit the word "death" very hard to intimidate.
After looking around at everyone, he added: "Don't try to escape. Regardless of whether you can escape or not, even if you escape from the mining area, do you think you can get out of this mountain? To put it ten thousand steps back, if you have walked out of the mountain, can you get through it? These two thousand miles of wasteland? Of course not. You only need to dig obediently, not be lazy, and abide by the rules to ensure your safety. Okay, let’s start dividing the work now, with ten people in teams, and each team is led by a cultivator. I will serve as the captain and lead nine mortals into the mine, do you understand?"
After speaking, the captain glanced at everyone with his cold eyes. Whoever he looked at would tremble in his heart and respond subconsciously.
Then the black-armored guards led them out of the plains and into the mine. The mine is very deep and seems to have been mined for a long time.
Zhou Yang saw the Lingshi mine for the first time. He was very curious and full of doubts: How are Lingshi formed? Are there natural spiritual stones in the mines? How is each spiritual stone polished and regularized?
With these questions in mind, Zhou Yang moved forward quickly with the crowd.
The deeper you go, the brighter the cave becomes and the richer the aura becomes. From time to time, mine slaves come out of the depths. Those people pushed a wooden wheeled cart with light green stones. These stones were much larger than the spiritual stones, but lighter in color.
Zhou Yang's eyes lit up and he thought that this was the spiritual ore.
