"You have to understand one thing. I am asking you, not you. My patience is always very limited. I will tell you one last time and tell you everything you know."
Xu You said calmly.
Xiaoguang trembled again, and finally realized that he had offended someone he should not offend, and he couldn't help but regret it.
Trembling, he told everything he knew about the situation.
Xu You listened calmly, because Xiaoguang was too frightened and could not express what he meant. After a while, he finally understood the general idea.
It turns out that this strange space is called the Black Mountain World. As the name suggests, it is a world named after countless black mountains.
There is no sun, no moon, no stars here, and there is no day or night. The light comes from an unknown place in the sky, and it is always just like dusk in the normal world, without any change.
The resources in the Black Mountain Realm are scarce, with very few vegetation and spiritual materials, but the mineral veins are extremely rich, about half of which are spiritual stone mines, and there are also veins of various other materials.
Because the spiritual energy is extremely thin, the monks in the Black Mountain world rely on spiritual stones to survive. Therefore, spiritual stones are extremely precious to the monks and are the basis for the development of the tribe.
There are countless tribes like Weishan in the Black Mountain world. Their strength is divided according to the cultivation level of the tribe leader. Just like outside, the spiritual realm is the first-level tribe, and the spiritual realm is the second-level tribe.
, and so on.
The leader of the Weishan Tribe, Fang Baiqing, is a Soul Realm monk, and there are two deputy leaders who are also Soul Realm monks. Therefore, the Weishan Tribe belongs to the ** tribe.
However, among the ** tribes, the Weishan tribe can only be regarded as relatively weak. Some ** large tribes may have dozens or even hundreds of soul-level experts.
The highest tribe is Level 4. As for whether there are Level 5 tribes, Xiaoguang is not sure. Even these contents are what he heard from hearsay.
Because there were too many tribes, wars between tribes were very frequent and fierce in order to compete for more mineral territory.
Although the strength of many tribes varies greatly, due to the vast and complex terrain of the Black Mountain Realm, shortage of resources, and numerous enemies, it is difficult for even the fourth-level large tribes to invade and merge with more small tribes. At most, they can only operate within the core sphere of influence.
Create a monopoly.
Therefore, the attitude of large tribes towards small and remote tribes is often one of exploitation. As long as enough spirit stones are provided regularly, you can be guaranteed to be safe and sound, which is the same as collecting protection fees.
If you cannot pay tribute regularly or refuse to pay, you will either integrate into the big tribe and become part of the big tribe itself, or the big tribe will annihilate it at all costs, otherwise it will not be able to form an effective deterrent to other small tribes.
The Weishan tribe, like a dozen other neighboring tribes, is controlled by a fourth-level tribe called Yueqing two thousand miles away. It needs to contribute 25,000 spiritual stones every quarter in order to have peace.
Not only do they have to pay protection fees, but they also have to develop and pretend to be big, and they also have to compete with other tribes for territory and have wars all the time. Therefore, spiritual stones are extremely important to the tribe, and slaves have also become important.
This is the real reason why Shouhou and Chen Sheng tried every possible means to capture slaves, and why Fang Baiqing became furious when she saw someone killing her tribe's slaves.
Without slaves, there will not be enough people to mine. If there are not enough people to mine, there will be no spiritual stones. Without spiritual stones, everything will be impossible.
As for the place outside the Black Mountain Realm, Xiaoguang didn't know. He had never heard of any tribe or monk who had gone out of the Black Mountain Realm. He had also never heard of the sun, stars, moon, day and night.
He used to be a tribal monk. After being defeated and captured, he became a slave, so he knew so much information.
Xu You pondered. He originally thought that there was a problem with the teleportation and that he just fell into a strange place. As long as he secretly inquired and explored, sooner or later he would be able to find the direction of the Northern Night Palace.
But now it seems that this is not the case. At least there is no sun, moon and stars in the Black Mountain Realm, which makes it look quite strange.
Of course, Xiaoguang's knowledge is definitely limited, and it is possible that no one will know what is outside the Black Mountain Realm. He still needs to inquire more.
No matter what, recovering from injuries and cultivation is the first priority. Only with strength can we have more methods, and other things can be done slowly.
"Sir, I have told you everything I know. You promised not to kill me." Xiao Guang said in fear, "And my leader knows that I am looking for you. If I disappear, he will definitely find out the reason.
, maybe it will be reported to the tribe, which will be very detrimental to you."
Xu You smiled faintly, this slave seemed stupid just now, but now he is smarter and actually knows how to threaten him.
But so what if there is trouble. From the moment he knew he had an invisible storage ring, this guy's fate was doomed. And with the purple flame spirit fire, there is no proof at all, so what if there is suspicion?
He didn't say anything, he just popped up a purple fire and fell on the little bald head instantly.
"You dare to kill me, you will pay..." Xiao Guang's heart was about to jump out. He was about to shout in horror, but suddenly stopped.
Then, his whole body was like a rapidly melting candle. Starting from his head, within a few breaths, it melted to his feet and was completely destroyed.
In the blink of an eye, a living person disappeared without a trace. Except for two extremely inconspicuous shoe prints on the ground, there was no proof that the little light had ever existed in this world.
With two clanging sounds, two spiritual stones fell to the ground out of thin air. They were the fruits of Xiaoguang's work today.
Xu You picked up the spirit stone and turned it over in his hands. He didn't find any difference from the spirit stone he owned. They were all ordinary low-grade spirit stones.
This means that he can completely hide his secrets with the spiritual stones in his hands. He only needs to hand over two pieces every day, and then he can hide deep underground to recover from his injuries, and no one will pay attention to him.
At the same time, you can use Corpse Poison Pill to absorb the fire poison in the underground air and strengthen your trump card.
"It seems that being a slave is not bad..." Xu You said to himself, smiled slightly, sat down and continued to take pills to treat his injuries, and at the same time, he took out the medium-grade spiritual stones and began to absorb the spiritual energy.
If Xu Yunzi saw this scene, he would definitely laugh at him for not being too beautiful, for actually using an underground mine filled with high temperature, poisonous gas and sultry heat as a sanatorium.
Soon, eleven hours passed. Xu You slowly opened his eyes. After being nourished by a large amount of spiritual pills, his injuries and spiritual power had recovered a lot. The seals and restrictions in his body had also been cremated by him with the Purple Flame Spirit.
Go, my cultivation has returned to the middle stage of spiritual body.
If his soul had not been severely eroded by the void storm and almost shrunk, he would be able to return to the spiritual realm today.
However, Xu You didn't care. His injuries healed slowly. Anyway, there was no rush. He might break and then stand up, or he could go deeper.
In order to prevent others from seeing the clues, he used the breath-condensing technique to hide his breath in the early stage of his spiritual body, and at the same time, he used the source of all laws to confine it in his body to perfectly simulate a seal.
This is a method that is completely based on the mind. Not to mention the spiritual body realm monks, even the spiritual light realm monks can't see the clues.
Then, Xu You calmly walked out of the cave.
After a while, he saw other slaves starting to finish their work and walking towards the place where they came from. However, there were still some slaves who were still digging hard on the mine wall with no intention of leaving.
Xu You understood that these slaves had not completed their tasks, so they did not intend to leave, otherwise they would be severely punished even on the ground.
Although slaves are very important, to the tribe, they must be useful slaves. Slaves who cannot dig out spiritual stones or dig out few slaves have no value in existence.
It's just that if you stay underground for a long time, without getting rest and replenishment, and unable to get rid of the fire poison, it is no different from committing suicide. The fate of the slave, whether dead or alive, is very miserable.
Xu You sighed and put away his cheap sympathy. He didn't even take care of his own situation, how could he care about others.
Gradually, as we walked out of the cave, we encountered more and more slaves.
Suddenly, Xu You's eyes narrowed and he saw the particularly strong middle-aged slave and others with Xiao Guang. They were looking back and forth in the crowd, as if they were looking for something.
Xu You remained calm and continued walking forward. He knew who these people were looking for, but unfortunately they never knew that there was no longer a slave like Xiao Guang in this world.
"Boss, it's him, the new slave. He's there. He must know where Xiaoguang is." Suddenly, a tall and thin slave saw Xu You and shouted excitedly.
Then he ran over in three steps and grabbed Xu You.
Xu You frowned, took a step back, let go of his hand, and stopped.
When the strong middle-aged slave and other slaves heard the cry and saw Xu You, their eyes suddenly lit up and they surrounded him.
"Boy, where do you want to run to?" the tall and thin slave said fiercely.
Seeing this, other slaves stopped to watch the excitement. Not only did no one try to dissuade them, but they all looked expectant and excited, as if they were very willing to see this scene.
"Run? Why should I run? I would like to ask you why you are blocking my way?" Xu You asked calmly.
"Stop talking nonsense, let me ask you, have you seen Xiaoguang?" The strong middle-aged slave asked with a gloomy face.
"Who is Xiaoguang? I don't know you." Xu You said.
"He has been following you, don't you know?" the strong middle-aged slave shouted.
"Why is he following me?" Xu You asked.
The strong slave was at a loss for words, right? Why did Xiaoguang follow Xu You? He couldn't reveal his purpose of finding out Xu You's reality in public.
But Xu You choked back, and he couldn't help but get angry: "Someone saw him following you, and you dare to deny it. If you don't tell Xiaoguang's whereabouts today, you won't be able to return to the ground."
He estimated that Xiaoguang had probably lost track of Xu You, and he didn't know where he was at the moment. Fortunately, the new slave escaped, but this didn't make Xu You any easier, so he might as well hit him with two spirit stones. (To be completed.)
