Bypassing the small town in the middle of the basin, I saw rows of low and simple bungalows built at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by thorny fences that were nearly 20 feet tall, and there were arrow towers every twenty or thirty feet. Looking closely, this

The bungalows are divided into five major areas, separated by streets and alleys, and have eye-catching signs at the junction. The wooden signs are engraved with symbols of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

There is no doubt that this is the residence of the mine slaves.

The entire mine slave living area is quiet, as depressed as a dead cemetery. Black crows jumped and pecked on the snow, making extremely unpleasant cry from time to time.

After the slaves were registered, each of them received a wooden license plate of different colors, which was divided into five teams, and then taken away by different managers. Fu Jingtao received a white license plate and was assigned to the gold area.

There was a dilapidated wooden house on the edge, and there were five Western slaves traveling with them.

The six of them entered the designated house and saw that there were bowls, chopsticks, braziers and other debris on both sides of the door. Against the wall was a large bunk bed more than a foot from the ground. A thick layer of dry hay leaves were covered with

There was also a pile of black and worn quilts stacked randomly. When Fu Jingtao came, he was relieved. He used fire tongs to remove the carbon ashes and took the initiative to create a fire to drive away the cold. The five slaves were crowded in the corner and whispered, not knowing what they were discussing.

Fu Jingtao was too lazy to pay attention to it, so he closed his eyes and rested after raising the fire.

It was almost dusk, and the sound of a gong suddenly came outside the house. Soon, a wave of sound came from far to near, like a torrent, and the originally dead and silent area was full of vitality.

Fu Jingtao opened his eyes calmly and turned his eyes to the door.

Only the footsteps, the shouts were getting closer and closer, yelling! The door shaft turned, and the cold wind poured into the house with noise. As the light swayed, seven or eight ragged men squeezed in, strong

The smell of sweat suddenly filled the nose. A man with a hook nose stomped the snow mud on his feet hard, glanced at Fu Jingtao and others, and laughed, "A group of unlucky people are coming again!"

Fu Jingtao coughed lightly, clasped his fists and said, "Boy Yang Tao has just arrived and doesn't know anything. I hope you guys will give me more and give me some advice."

The hook-nosed man looked at him in surprise: "Are you a Han person?"

Fu Jingtao nodded and briefly explained his origin.

The man with hook nose sighed, "Hey, you actually missed this place because you got lost. I don't know if you should say you are lucky or unlucky. Since the establishment of the Scorpion City, I have never heard of any mine slaves who can go out alive. My name is Zhu Ziqiang,

It’s the Golden Scorpion Hall Armour Group Mine Head. You have to follow me from now on. As for how long you can live, it depends on your own luck."

It turns out that there is a natural cave in the mountain that goes deep into the ground and contains various rare minerals. The most precious specialty is a blood jade. It is said that this blood jade is condensed by the blood of the ancient dragon and stores huge energy inside.

It is of great benefit to practicing demon skills. Therefore, the Heavenly Demon Sect secretly sent disciples to build a city, and tried to collect mine slaves and force them to dig out blood jade. Although the cave has treasures, there are still countless underground creatures in it.

It is also called "Demon Scorpion Cave" because of the number of various poisonous scorpions.

The Scorpion City is named after the Scorpion Cave and has a history of nearly a hundred years. Currently, there are about 4,000 people of all kinds living in the city, six of which have become mine slaves. In order to control the huge number of mine slaves, the "Five Elements" has also been established.

Hall” is divided into gold scorpion, wood scorpion, water scorpion, fire scorpion, and earth scorpion hall.

The supreme ruler of the Scorpion City is the city lord, with six people in charge of the powers of Wuwei, medicine, mining, equipment, money kuoku and other powers. The city lord Qu Yaoxian and Shenlong are not seen at the beginning and end and rarely appear on weekdays. The three city lords are in charge of mining.

Xiong Qiang can decide the life and death of a mine slave at will.

Fu Jingtao frowned and said, "Does the mine slaves have no other way out except mining?"

Zhu Ziqiang said: "That's not. Either you are very skilled, dare to fight and kill, and join the mine protection team; or you lose your luck and dig up enough blood jade, and use your merit to eliminate the identity of the mine slave, and be able to get the demon.

Scorpion City is scrambling to live."

Fu Jingtaoqi said: "What is the way the mine protection team is?"

Zhu Ziqiang said quietly: "The mine cave connects to the underground abyss, and countless insect holes are hidden, and various poisonous insects are growing. There is a lot of noise during mining. Every time I go to the mine, there are always unlucky eggs that are swallowed by poisonous insect monsters, and I can't even catch the corpse!

The life of the disciples of the Demon Sect is so precious, how could they go deep into the underground to take risks? For this reason, brave and powerful people were specially selected from the mine slaves to form a "mine protection team", equipped with weapons and armor, and are responsible for resisting attacks by insects and beasts.

”

There are countless poisonous insects and beasts that reproduce and survive. They have a strong sense of territory. When they find invaders, they will attack them. This is a nightmare in the underground world. In order to ensure the smooth excavation of blood jade, the "Mine Protection Team" will be in charge.

Born.

The members of the "Mine Protection Team" are very complicated, including warriors from all races in the Western Regions, prisoners captured by the Heavenly Demon Sect, losers of internal fighting in various sects, disciples of the Demon Sect who committed the death penalty, fleeing soldiers, horse thieves, bandits, etc.

They don’t need to mine. They can eat meat and drink wine. The only task is to kill off underground poisonous insects and beasts and protect ore benefits. Of course, the mine protection team is on the front line, and the disability rate is also extremely high, and they can survive a year.

And those who do not die are strong people favored by God.

Fu Jingtao's heart moved slightly and asked, "I wonder how this mine protection team should join?"

Zhu Ziqiang glanced at him in shock: "The mine protection team fought with their lives, wandering on the brink of death every day, and the danger they encountered was thousands of times better than mine slaves! Do you want your life?"

Fu Jingtao said lightly: "I understand martial arts a little and are not afraid of fighting." He knew in his heart that to get rid of the current predicament, he had to recover his skills. To restore his skills, one would need a lot of pills to treat internal injuries, and the other would need sufficient.

For food replenishment and consumption, three is necessary to have relatively independent space to regulate breathing and breathing. These things cannot be owned by an ordinary mine slave. Only by becoming a member of the mine protection team can you have the opportunity to get everything you need.

Zhu Ziqiang's face changed slightly. Who is not afraid of meeting a ruthless person who is not afraid of death? He explained in a low voice: "Actually, the conditions for joining the mine protection team are very simple. Just hand over a fresh corpse of poisonous insects and prove your own combat power.

Approved to join.”

Fu Jingtao asked with interest: "So how to find a place for poisonous insects?"

Zhu Ziqiang couldn't help but sweat. Normal people were afraid of the fierce and terrible poisonous insects, so how could they proactively provoke them? This boy is such a naughty boy! He smiled bitterly and said, "Don't look for him. After you enter the scorpion cave, you

, you may bump into them at any time."

Fu Jingtao smiled: "If I could kill a few more poisonous insects, would there be an additional reward?"

Zhu Ziqiang nodded and said, "The more poisonous insects you kill, the more rewards you receive!"

Fu Jingtao was ready to say, "Okay, I hope I will encounter a group of poisonous insects while mining tomorrow!"
