Someone with a good relationship with this young man mustered the courage to ask.
"Or won't you stay with him?"
Cao Man asked coldly.
No one responded. Who knew how many poisonous snakes and beasts there were in the jungle? Friendship is one thing, and life is another. When encountering danger, everyone first thinks of protecting themselves.
"Since no one stays, let's go quickly."
Cao Man glared at her eyes, and everyone immediately lined up obediently and continued to move forward.
Li Xuan walked at the end of the team and walked not far away and looked back. He saw a barbarian standing next to the poisoned young man, wiping his sharp axe.
As soon as he walked out of the jungle, Li Xuan heard the sound of a sharp blade cutting into his muscles.
He sighed slightly in his heart, knowing that the fate of the young man was irreversible.
Perhaps because of the poisonous snake incident, everyone's morale was set and they were silent all the way.
The barbarians seemed to have noticed something, scattered to every corner of the team, and monitored closely.
The next morning, when the team was resting, a young man who often chatted with Li Xuan came over and whispered to him: "Do you think something is wrong?"
"What's the meaning?"
Li Xuan asked.
"These barbarians don't treat us as humans at all..." The young man looked at the barbarians' movements vigilantly, "You have also seen what happened last night, but that person is actually saved."
Li Xuan silently said nothing. He just went to Liming Town by way of the way and didn't want to worry about these nosy business.
"Someone heard the conversations of those barbarians and actually called us Zhuzi."
The young man did not notice Li Xuan's mood and continued to say angrily, "They seem to be selling us to a place called Death Mine.
We are not here to be slaves, we just want to make more money."
"What do you plan to do?"
Li Xuan suddenly found that there were many young people around him looking over, and he immediately understood the intentions of these people.
"We are thinking, when we meet the patrol again, we will run away together."
The young man said excitedly, "As long as everyone works together, they can't do anything."
Li Xuan shook her head secretly, but couldn't bear to hit their dreams, so she could only say perfunctorily: "I will act together then."
The young man patted Li Xuan's shoulder with satisfaction and quietly went to lobby others.
When we set out again, everyone had already received the news and were waiting for the opportunity to attack together.
"Go ahead and you can reach your destination tomorrow. You can make a lot of money when you get there."
The barbarians did not notice the dissatisfaction in the team. They would say some inspirational words from time to time to speed up everyone.
Many people pick up branches in the jungle as crutches to deal with the steep mountain roads, and the barbarians don’t care.
Today most people have switched to very strong wooden sticks. Li Xuan could see that they wanted to solve the problem with violence.
"Oh..." Li Xuan really wanted to tell these naive young people that the barbarians they faced were not ordinary people. Not to mention others, they were just Cao Man, one of them could beat twenty ordinary people.
Seeing a few young people whispering, Li Xuan couldn't bear to let them die, so he leaned over and said, "I think it's better to forget it. These wooden sticks can't deal with those barbarians."
Someone glared at Li Xuan fiercely, and a young man with a rough temper poked Li Xuan's chest: "Hey, I warn you not to make trouble, otherwise I will clean up with you later."
Li Xuan shrugged and took a few steps back. Since they couldn't listen, they were seeking death, and it had nothing to do with him.
Seeing the young people whispering and ready to rub their hands, Li Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly again.
He used to be a monk without emotions. How could he care about the life and death of strangers after he was reborn? If this continues, he would not become a guy with overflowing emotions, right?
The young men probably had discussed it, winked each other and gestured, and were ready to move.
The moonlight shone on the narrow mountain road, and a patrol suddenly appeared in front of him, with only four barbarian warriors. When they saw the smuggling team, they immediately showed a look of joy.
Cao Man put his hand into his arms and was about to take out the bribery wallet, but the team behind him suddenly became turbulent.
The appearance of the patrol team was equivalent to a signal of action. Someone whistled, and everyone started to rush towards the jungle beside the road with a clamor.
According to their plan, as long as they rush into the dense jungle, the barbarians with insufficient numbers will be unable to hunt them down.
"What are you going to do!"
Several barbarians shouted and rushed to the side of the road to block the young people's way.
The young men were full of energy. Since they decided to escape, they would naturally not be lenient. Seeing the barbarians blocking them, several leading young men waved wooden sticks and smashed them down on their heads.
Li Xuan didn't move, and sighed when she saw this, turned her head and couldn't bear to see the tragic scene.
"Bang", blood light burst out.
The young man who poked Li Xuan's chest with his finger was the first to suffer. His head was like a watermelon on a chopping board, shattering open suddenly, and red and white splashed out, spraying on the faces of his companions behind him, scaring them.
The soul is not possessed.
"Puchi", the second person also fell down. It was the young man who was chatting with Li Xuan during the day. A huge blood hole was penetrated through his chest, and his eyes were wide open, as if he didn't believe that he would die.
As soon as the two leaders fell down, the other young men stopped, looking at their dead companions with horror, and their bodies trembled non-stop.
The two attacking barbarians roared: "If you want to die, come over, I will definitely give you some fun!"
No one dared to move. Although everyone was strong, they were just ordinary farmers. Facing well-trained warriors, they had no chance of winning.
Cao Man walked over with anger on his face. A whip appeared in his hand at some point. He swung the whip and hit the young people with a "slap".
"Are you looking for death?"
The whip fell down, and the person who was hit immediately moaned in pain. Everyone picked up their heads and squatted down. The wooden stick in their hands had long been thrown away, and they dared not resist at all.
The resistance ended in shame, with two bodies thrown into the jungle to feed the wolf, and as for the others, their hands were tied up and then stringed in a string with ropes so that they would not escape.
The only thing that was spared was Li Xuan. Some barbarians proved that Li Xuan did not participate in the resistance from beginning to end, and Cao Man was very satisfied with this.
The barbarians also needed a human being as their agent, and Li Xuan was granted this power for granted.
Of course, the barbarians didn't know that if they had to tie Li Xuan up, Li Xuan would kill them all without any mind.
"You're lucky."
Li Xuan stood beside the team, looking at the dejected young men tied into a string, thinking to himself.
"Boy, you do it well, I'm very optimistic about you.
By the way, what's your name?"
Cao Man walked over and wanted to pat Li Xuan on the shoulder, but unfortunately he was not big enough to reach it.
"My name is Pang Juan."
Li Xuan said a fake name without hesitation.
That poor five-star golden elixir knows that he will definitely die of anger again.
“Pang Juan?
What a good name. As long as you are loyal to me, I will let you be the foreman when you arrive at your destination."
Cao Man said.
"That's great. The foreman's salary should be more."
Li Xuan acted like a rude and greedy countryman, and the more he did, the more Cao Man trusted him.
The only thing that was a little unhappy was that the young men looked at Li Xuan as if they were looking at a monster.
Li Xuan doesn't care about this, after all, elephants don't care about the ants' eyes, and who says they are so stupid.
After experiencing this turmoil, the team returned to order. After walking for another two days, they arrived at the foot of a mountain.
There are rows of iron houses at the foot of the mountain. A bluestone road is built from the bottom of the mountain to the side of the mountain. Cars filled with ore drive down from the mountain, and empty cars drive up the mountain, and traffic flows non-stop
, never stopping.
Many mine caves were opened on the mountainside. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, it was like the pupils of a mountain, so dark that it was impossible to see through.
Huge mining machinery emitted a deafening roar, some were excavated, some were transported, some were crushed, some were loaded and unloaded, and there were furnaces and workshops to form a one-stop operation factory.
As soon as the ore is dug out, it is cast into blocks and transported to countless workshops in the barbarian kingdom.
“So spectacular.”
Li Xuan secretly praised him. He finally understood why the barbarian kingdom was rich in craftsmen.
This automated production line even reminds Li Xuan of the earth's technological level.
"Cao Man, you finally arrived."
Several barbarians came over, and the leader was a barbarian with a big belly. At first glance, he looked like a rich and unkind guy.
"Haha, my dear motor, long time no see, you have gained a lot of weight. It seems that the business of the mine is very good."
Cao Man walked over with a smile and hugged the fat man.
The two of them exchanged a few greetings. Motor looked at the young people in a string and asked Cao Man, "How many people are brought this time?"
“Thirty-four.”
Cao Man said, "I guarantee that everyone is a strong young man, and I have been trained to be honest. I guarantee that I can go down the mine immediately."
“Very good, very good.”
Mada said with a smile that when he smiled, his chin jumped up tremblingly, which was really annoying.
"I'll be more relaxed after I've given it to you."
Cao Man laughed, "This time you have to arrange more beautiful girls for my brothers."
"No problem, I guarantee that you will be comfortable to arrange."
Motor put on Cao Man's shoulder and walked towards the iron houses with a chat and laughter.
His men came over and took over all the young people.
“Where do you want to take us?”
Seeing that the barbarians were very rude, someone asked in horror.
"Stop talking nonsense, do whatever you want, otherwise you will break your limbs and throw them into the mountains to feed the wolf."
A barbarian jumped up and waved his hand to slap the questioner in the face.
Another barbarian walked to Li Xuan's side, reached out and pushed him, "Get out there."
