Xu Chunniang stood up silently, picked up the pickaxe and backpack on the ground, and walked into the mine, following the example of others.
Judging from the current situation, I’m afraid that all the monks on the flying boat have become captives of the orcs.
She is the fish on the chopping board and others are the butchers. She should not act rashly before she recovers her strength.
Just mine, it’s better than dying.
The spiritual energy was sealed, but fortunately, the little walnut in the soul was still there.
Fortunately, after the Beast Abyss appeared, she realized that something was wrong and hid the twigs and other important things into the small world in advance.
There were only some worthless fourth-level spiritual objects in the mustard seed space, so it wouldn't be a big loss if they were destroyed.
In the dark and narrow mine, there is an orc supervisor patrolling at regular intervals.
If someone walked too slowly, they would be whipped, accompanied by a few unintelligible words of Orc, and the atmosphere was oppressive and silent.
Most of these human cultivators, who are dressed in rags and have dull expressions, have reached the Spirit Transformation Stage, and many are even at the Void Refinement Stage.
Now that they have been reduced to captives, their cultivation and supernatural powers have been sealed, and they have been enslaved to do hard labor, one can imagine the resentment and frustration in their hearts.
Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore. He threw down the backpack on his back and pounced on the orc in front of him.
He would rather die than suffer such inhuman torture!
The orc was thrown to the ground, but he was not in a hurry. He directly used his spiritual sense to detonate the restriction in the ring.
"Bang!"
The human on top of the orc screamed, only to see his hands and feet blown off.
What’s even more terrifying is that a bloody hole appeared at his dantian.
The orc pushed him away, stood up, and swung the whip in his hand towards the monk on the ground.
“Snap, snap!”
One after another, the crisp sound of whips echoed in the mine.
The human cultivators on the earth had already turned into a pool of flesh and blood, but because of the powerful vitality of the Divine Transformation cultivators, they were unable to die.
The human monks who saw this scene showed anger and pity in their eyes, and they wished they could fight these orcs to the death.
But the heavy iron rings on their wrists and ankles forced them to calm down. Even if they rushed forward, they would not be able to change anything and would only make their situation worse.
After swinging the whip dozens of times, the orc stopped, looked around, and spoke slowly in the human language.
"Before I empty this mine, you better behave yourself, or I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death!"
The human monks became even angrier, but also more silent.
They held their pickaxes tightly in their hands, lowered their heads, and walked in the mine without saying a word.
Xu Chunniang witnessed all this and became increasingly aware that she must not act rashly before removing the strange rings on her hands and feet and figuring out the strength of these orcs.
She remained silent and continued walking underground.
When they reached the depths of the mine, without the presence of those orc overseers, the atmosphere finally eased.
Along with the sound of ore mining, voices could be heard faintly coming from a mine.
"Today, we only mined six phoenix stones and more than seventy pieces of level five spiritual ore. I'm afraid we'll have to starve again. When will this day end?"
"Hold on, maybe one day, a powerful human will come to save us."
"Alas, I don't know if we can wait until that day..."
Xu Chunniang walked into an empty mine and looked at the strange iron ring on her wrist.
There are many black runes engraved on this iron ring, which contain the power of several laws and look very complicated.
She grabbed the iron ring on her ankle with both hands, trying to see if she could remove it, but to no avail.
This iron ring seemed to be welded to the body and could not be removed by brute force.
Using the Meteoric Heart Flame, perhaps the iron ring can be burned...
After devouring the white cold fire, the grade of the Meteorite Heart Flame broke through to level six in one fell swoop, and was able to melt level six spiritual ore.
I don’t know what material this iron ring is made of, but I think its grade will not be higher than level six.
However, using the Meteoric Heart Flame to forge the iron ring would most likely be sensed by the orcs, thus alerting them.
Until we figure out how many orcs are in this mine, the best strategy is to remain dormant.
She picked up the pickaxe on the ground and began to mine the spiritual ore silently.
After staying in the mine for several days, Xu Chunniang quickly figured out the rules of the mine.
The daily mining task for all human cultivators is ten level six spirit stones and one hundred level five spirit stones.
If the amount mined is not enough and the task cannot be completed, it is common to suffer from hunger and beatings.
The cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage have been practicing fasting for many years and originally do not need to eat.
The strange rings on their bodies sealed off all spiritual energy, and the mining day and night consumed a lot of their physical strength, so they could only replenish their strength through spiritual food.
The spiritual food provided by the orcs is naturally not a good thing. If it were not for the purpose of using these human monks to mine minerals, they would not even provide spiritual food.
When the time came to hand in the spiritual ore, a large number of human cultivators dragged their tired bodies out of the mine and headed towards the mine pit outside.
The orc overseers would pick and choose the spiritual ore that was mined, and if the quantity was insufficient, half of the spiritual food would be deducted.
If you are unlucky, you will be whipped a few times.
Xu Chunniang stood in the long queue, looking inconspicuous.
It was her turn. She poured out the spiritual ores she had mined from the backpack. There were a total of ten level six spiritual ores and one hundred and one level five spiritual ores.
The orc overseer snorted, collected all the spiritual minerals, and threw out a bundle of spiritual herbs that sparkled with silver light.
This spiritual herb is called Silver Star Grass, a lower grade of the second level. It is the most common thing in the spiritual world and can be found almost everywhere.
Among the human race, even the spiritual pets in the foundation-building stage are reluctant to eat the Silver Star Grass, but the orcs take it and use it as their spiritual food.
Xu Chunniang picked up the silver star grass on the ground, put it in her backpack, turned around and walked towards the mine.
Except for the time when the spiritual ore is handed in, human cultivators are not allowed to leave the mine at other times.
After entering the mine, Xu Chunniang did not rush to go deeper, but deliberately slowed down her pace.
Not long after, the figures of brother and sister Xie Xun and Xie Ying appeared in the mine.
The two men caught up with Xu Chunniang, exchanged glances, and tacitly chose the same mine tunnel.
They continued to go deeper into the mine until there were no more orc overseers around, and only then did the three of them relax a little.
Xie Ying looked indignant and threw the pickaxe and backpack to the ground.
"This spirit world is too deceptive! And the Long family took 60,000 spirit crystals from me and my brother, but what did they do with it
If I had known that I would be captured by the orcs, I would have gone directly to Crane City. Even if I encountered robbers, I would not have ended up in such a situation. "
Xie Xun sighed and smiled bitterly.
"What's the point of saying this now? Who knew these orcs were so bold that they dared to go deep into the human race and openly kidnap everyone on the flying boat."
