In the dim and damp mine tunnel, Lu Ye carried the mine basket and the mine pickaxe in his hand, and walked forward step by step.
The boy's expression was a little sad, his eyes focused on the space in front of him, as if he was staring at something.
From outsiders, Lu Ye was empty in front of him, but in fact, he could see a translucent shadow in the boy's vision.
It was like the shadow of a tree, gray, and it was hard to see clearly. The branches and leaves were lush. The branches separated from one-third of the tree's body to the left and right, supporting a semicircular crown.
It has been more than a year since he came to this world called Jiuzhou. Lu Ye has not figured out what this is. He only knows that when his attention is focused enough, the shadow tree has a chance to appear in his field of vision, and others will not notice it at all.
"What a sad life." The young man sighed.
A year ago, he suddenly woke up in this strange world. Before he could get familiar with the environment, his power was captured by a group of thieves. Many people were killed. He and other young men and women became prisoners of the thieves, and then sent into this mine vein and became a lowly mine slave.
Afterwards, he learned from the scattered conversations between others that his power was affiliated with the Haotian Alliance, a sect called Xuantian Sect.
The name of this sect sounds cool and mad, but in fact it is just a small sect that is not as good as the class.
The one who captured Xuantian Sect was the Evil Moon Valley under the command of Wanmo Ridge.
Haotian Alliance and Wanmo Ridge are two major camp organizations in this world. They are formed by countless large and small forces, fighting each other, with the intention of completely eliminating each other, which is said to have lasted for hundreds of years.
In Lu Ye's view, such a struggle is simply a confrontation between the orderly camp and the evil camp. He was just accidentally involved in such a confrontation tide.
Over the years, the Jiuzhou Continent has been in full swing. Every year, small forces like Xuantian Sect have been uprooted, but soon more forces have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, occupying various territories, making the situation even more chaotic.
Let’s just mine slaves... Lu Ye comforted himself. Compared to those who were killed, he was still alive.
It is not that he has any special skills, but that Xieyue Valley needs some errands to do things. People like Lu Ye who have no cultivation and are still young are undoubtedly the best choice.
In fact, the mine slaves in this ore vein are not only from the Xuantian Sect, but also from some other small families and disciples from small sects.
The strength of the Evil Moon Valley is not weak. Over the years, many territories have been captured. The original forces on these territories have naturally been destroyed, and some of the available human beings were sent to various places by the Evil Moon Valley.
These people have one characteristic without exception. They have not yet learned their skills and have no cultivation, so they are easy to control.
There is a saying in the Jiuzhou Continent that it is difficult to transform a demon without opening his orifices, and it is difficult to practice without opening his orifices.
If you want to practice, you need to open the spiritual orifice. Only by opening the spiritual orifice can you be qualified to practice.
It is not a simple matter to open the spiritual orifice. After systematic training, ordinary people can open the spiritual orifice after only one hundred or more years. If they are from a cultivation family or sect, and if they have elders’ guidance, the proportion may be higher.
Lu Ye failed to open his spiritual orifice, so he could only make a living by mining in this dim mine.
However, the mine slaves are not without a way out. If they can successfully learn and find the person in charge to report, they will have the opportunity to participate in an assessment. If the assessment is successful, they can become a disciple of the Evil Moon Valley.
However, there are very few people who can learn the skills among the mine slaves. They work all day in this dark environment and can't even eat enough to eat. How can they still learn the skills?
Therefore, basically 99% of the mine slaves have already accepted their fate and work hard every day just to make a full meal.
Lu Ye had no sense of belonging to Xuantian Sect. After all, as soon as he came to this world, Xuantian Sect was destroyed, and he didn't know who was the one in the sect.
He didn't want to become a disciple of the Evil Moon Valley. This is not a serious force. Just listening to the name gives people a sense of evil, and it will be cold sooner or later.
But I can't stay here for the rest of my life as a mine slave. What kind of tradition is that? After all, he is an elite in the new era. What is the difference between being a human being without dreams and being a salted fish?
So he has been working hard to get to know this year. Originally, he thought that the shadow tree that he could see could provide him with some wonderful help, but until now, this shadow tree is still just a shadow. Not to mention any help, it sometimes affects his vision.
Lu Ye seriously doubted whether there was something wrong with his eyes.
After turning a corner, a faint light appeared in the distance, which was one of the exits of the mine.
The harvest is good today. I should be able to make three contributions by handing over the ore in the mine basket. Including the accumulated ones in the previous few days, it is about twelve o'clock. I can exchange two steamed buns at two o'clock, and the remaining ten o'clock is just enough to exchange for a Qi and Blood Pill.
Qi and Blood Pill is a very low-level elixir and is not an auxiliary object to open the orifice. However, if you want to open the orifice, you must be filled with qi and blood. Although Qi and Blood Pill is low-level, it is suitable for people like Lu Ye who are not open to the orifice.
The reason why Xieyue Valley is willing to take out Qi and Blood Pill is not that kindness occurs, but that they are well versed in the ways of human hearts. This cheapest and low-level pill can make hopeful people work harder and harder to mine.
For example, Lu Ye... is very hardworking every day.
Thirty feet away from the exit of the mine channel, Lu Ye's eyes inadvertently glanced at a corner in front of the left, where a huge rock stretched across.
He kept walking forward until about ten feet before he put down the mine basket behind him, tightened the mine pickaxe in his hand, took out a stone of moderate size from the mine basket, and weighed it for a moment.
The next moment, he ran towards the huge rock, approached the rock, slid sideways, stepped on the rock wall of the mine, and used the rebound force to dive downward towards the back of the huge rock, like a strong cheetah.
Two figures were squatting behind the huge rock, using the huge rock to cover their bodies. Unexpectedly, the people who came would find their traces.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! When I heard the movement, it was too late to see Lu Ye wanting to get up again.
Under the terrified gaze of the two, Lu Ye raised his hand and threw out the ore in his hand, hitting the bridge of one of them. The man immediately cried out with a bitter cry, fell to the ground with blood flowing from his face.
Lu Ye's other mine pickaxe attacked again, but failed to hit the second person. The man reacted well and turned his head to dodge.
However, Lu Ye had already rushed to him and kicked him down, hitting the other party's lower abdomen. The man suddenly felt pain in his face, fell out, fell to the ground, and vomited out a mouthful of sour water.
Lu Ye stepped forward, grabbed the other person's hair with one hand, saw the other person's face clearly, and sneered: "I said who it is? It turns out that it is you two brothers!"
He knew these two people, who were disciples of the Liu family. After the territory where Liu family was captured by Xieyue Valley, some young disciples of the Liu family were sent here to act as mine slaves.
Strictly speaking, Lu Ye and the two brothers Liu are also connected to each other.
"Have I ever said that I should not let me see you again, otherwise I will kill you!" As Lu Ye spoke, he picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it hard.
This time it was very difficult, and the second son of Liu snorted and was knocked unconscious.
Lu Ye walked towards Boss Liu, who had been injured by him before.
Boss Liu's forehead was smashed, and his eyes were blurred with blood. When he saw Lu Ye approaching him, he was so scared that he crawled: "Give up your life, my brothers didn't know that you were here, but they thought it was someone else... Give up your life!"
The Liu brothers were sneaking in front of the exit of the mineway, so they naturally had no good intentions.
Before these two people were captured, they were spoiled. Even if they became mine slaves, they would not want to endure hardships. However, the mine slaves were low-ranking and the people in Xieyue Valley did not regard mine slaves as humans. If there was no contribution to ore exchange, they would not be able to get food at all.
So these two brothers often squatted in front of an exit of the mine track and robbed the lonely mine slaves. Many of them were unlucky because of this. Not only were the ore that was mined hard every day been robbed, but they were also beaten to death.
Last time they wanted to rob Lu Ye, but they were no match and were taught a lesson.
I never thought that in just a few days, I met these two brothers again.
The same rice raises a hundred kinds of people. Among the mine slaves, there are people who are lazy and lazy like the Liu brothers, and there are people who have dreams like Lu Ye.
Over the past year, Lu Ye's contributions through ore exchange have been exchanged for Qi and Blood Pills for taking them in addition to ensuring daily food and clothing.
He took no less than thirty Qi and Blood Pills in Linlin.
This has created Lu Ye's body that is stronger than most mining slaves. Although his body is not strong, the power contained in his body is better than that of ordinary people.
It is naturally no problem to deal with two lazy mine slaves.
Boss Liu was still begging for mercy, but Lu Ye just pretended that he didn't hear it. He grabbed his hair, raised the stone in his other hand, and smashed it hard.
In his more than a year of mine slavery, Lu Ye has seen too many tragedies and has long understood one thing: in this world where people cannibalize, any pity or sympathy is useless.
The mine slaves are not in harmony. Miner slaves from different forces are destined to be unable to unite. For a good piece of ore, the mine slaves often get beaten to the point of bleeding.
People die in the mine road every day. Every time you walk a distance, you can see a dry bone scattered on the ground.
There are many mine slaves who starve to death because they are robbed.
Boss Liu fell down in response.
Lu Ye picked up his mine pickaxe, carried the mine basket again, and walked towards the exit. He did not kill the Liu brothers. It was not that he was ruthless, but that the injured mine slaves usually couldn't live long here.
After walking a few steps, a person suddenly rushed in at the exit in a panic.
"Get out!" The man sniffed and swept towards Lu Ye with a slap.
At this moment, Lu Ye's body became cold because he saw a light blue light flowing through his palm.
That was the light of spiritual power. In other words, it was a monk who took action against him!
Only by opening the spiritual orifice can one be qualified to practice and be qualified to be called a monk.
The spiritual power of a monk is an extremely magical power. Lu Ye had seen a monk from the Evil Moon Valley take action. Although he did not have too strong power, the man just slapped a piece of ore with a light palm. It was because he had seen that magical scene that Lu Ye made up his mind to open his own spiritual orifice and become a monk.
He also secretly evaluated that even the cultivator with the lowest cultivation level in the Evil Moon Valley could easily beat ten of himself.
So when he realized that it was a monk who was attacking him, Lu Ye knew that he was about to be in trouble.
At the critical moment of life and death, he stopped his pace and jumped backwards suddenly.
The chest was numb, and the sound of fracture sounded, and Lu Ye flew backwards and fell to the ground.
The severe pain made him clearer. After realizing that he was still alive, he immediately stood up.
"Huh!" The monk who took the action was a little surprised. Although he didn't use all his strength to take the palm just now, he just took it, but it shouldn't be something that the mine slave could bear.
He saw the appearance of the mine slave in a shimmer and blurted out: "Lu Ye?"
Lu Ye had already turned around and ran away at this moment, and was shocked after hearing the sound: "Manager Yang?"
This monk named Yang is a small manager in the mine. Lu Ye often deals with him because the Qi and Blood Pill was exchanged from him, so they are familiar with each other.
Manager Yang is very optimistic about Lu Ye. After all, it is rare for mine slaves who are hard-working like him.
However, no matter how optimistic it is, there is no special preferential treatment. If you don’t know anything about it for a day, there is an insurmountable gap between mortals like Lu Ye and monks.
After recognizing Lu Ye, Manager Yang felt relieved of the fact that he could not slap the other person with one palm. Lu Ye has exchanged a lot of Qi and Blood Pills from his hands over the past year, and his physical fitness is better than ordinary mine slaves. In addition, he just hit him casually and did not want to kill people deliberately. It is not surprising that the other person can survive.
Opposite Manager Yang, Lu Ye was upset in his heart.
The monks in the Evil Moon Valley generally ignore the lives and deaths of mine slaves. They also know that mine slaves often have fights in the mine veins, and unless they are met by them, they basically ignore them.
Lu Ye just beat the Liu brothers to the point of bleeding and fainted on the ground. He turned his head and then patted him. In Lu Ye's opinion, it was clearly that Manager Yang was teaching him a lesson.
But soon he felt something was wrong again, because Manager Yang looked flustered when he rushed in, unlike being standing up for the Liu brothers.
Just as he was thinking about it, Manager Yang had already looked surprised, as if he had encountered Lu Ye here, and bullied him, and grabbed Lu Ye's shoulder: "Follow me!"
