After pondering for a long time, Xu Chunniang made a decision.
"I can join you, but in the past few days, we have contacted a total of five monks, and I promised them that I would take them with me."
The old man looked calm and did not refuse directly.
"What are the cultivation levels of those five monks?"
"Two in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation, one in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation, and two in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation."
The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "Two cultivators in the late stage of the Spiritualization Stage can join us. The cultivation bases of the other three are too low, and it would be too risky to take them along.
Of course, if the laws they comprehend are related to the forbidden laws, or if they have other special methods, that is another matter."
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly. Among the three people, two of them comprehended the law of force, and the other female cultivator in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm comprehended the law of light.
The female cultivator who comprehended the law of light opened up a hidden space of light in her body, in which magic tools, spirit crystals and other items were hidden and were not taken away by the orcs.
In a few words, she gave a brief introduction to the situation of several people.
Hearing this, the old man weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
The entire mine is shrouded in a forbidden formation, so spirit crystals are extremely important. They directly determine the level of cultivation that can be restored after everyone removes the iron ring.
Let’s not talk about the two cultivators in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation for now. As for the other female cultivator, if she has enough spirit crystals on her, she can be won over.
"Did she reveal how many spirit crystals there are in the Light Space?"
"She didn't say it explicitly, but she mentioned to me that she was a cultivator from the Ji family."
"Someone from the Ji family!"
The old man's expression changed slightly. As early as tens of thousands of years ago, the Ji family had a Mahayana cultivator who was very famous for a time. Especially that Mahayana cultivator, who finally ascended to become an immortal smoothly, and made the Ji family's reputation reach an unprecedented height.
Although the Ji family has seemed a little lonely in the past few tens of thousands of years, and the monks of the Ji family have become increasingly low-key, they are still not comparable to ordinary aristocratic families.
"If she is really from the Ji family, then she must have a lot of spiritual crystals on her. In addition, the light space she possesses can provide a temporary shelter for us, greatly reducing the risk of being discovered by the orcs!"
The old man looked slightly excited and nodded towards Xu Chunniang.
"Thank you for telling me this, my friend. I will discuss this with the Ji female cultivator in person. As for the other two cultivators in the early stage of the Spiritualization Realm, although they cannot move with us, they can hide in the Light Space and leave with us."
Xu Chunniang thought for a while and thought that this was a good idea.
Time is limited, and it is unrealistic to remove the iron rings on everyone without alerting the orcs.
The best way is to let those with weaker strength hide in the space of light, while those with stronger strength stay outside to break through.
It won’t be too late to untie the iron rings on those people after we escape from the orcs’ territory.
"With the space of light, it is not impossible to take everyone away together."
The old man smiled and lowered his voice.
"March 3rd of every year is the day when the Orcs celebrate the birth of the Beast God. On this day, most of the Orcs will go to the Beast God Temple, and only a small number will stay in the mines.
The next Beast God Festival will be our chance."
Xu Chunniang understood what he meant. The Beast God Festival was mentioned in several books she had read about the Orcs.
For the Orcs, this is a very important day. The more advanced they are, the less likely they will miss it.
On this day, the guards in the mines will certainly not be as strict as usual.
After staring at the direction the old man left for a while, Xu Chunniang retracted her gaze, picked up the pickaxe in her backpack, and continued to mine the spiritual ore.
The days in the mine were silent and depressing. Every once in a while, a human monk would be unable to endure such inhuman persecution and would launch a sudden attack, but would be easily countered by the orc overseers, and would fall into a situation worse than death.
But Xu Chunniang discovered that since her conversation with the old man, more and more human monks chose to endure under the oppression of the orcs.
It seemed that the old man had already told them the plan.
It would have been fine if there was no hope before, but now that there was a chance to escape, naturally no one would take the initiative to provoke the orcs.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye it was March 2nd. Tomorrow is the Beast God Festival.
In the past few days, the orc overseers in the mines have been extremely excited and have been causing trouble for the human monks who are mining at every turn.
When it came time to hand in the spiritual ore, he was even more unscrupulous to the extreme. Regardless of whether the cultivator in front of him had completed the task or not, he would just raise his hand and whip him a few times.
"These pieces of spiritual ore are too small and unqualified. I will punish you with one day's spiritual food!"
Seeing them being whipped without making a sound, the orc overseer felt a little strange.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but in recent months, these people seemed to be too honest.
After collecting the spiritual ore, he walked towards the warehouse, put the newly collected spiritual ore into the warehouse, and asked the several orcs guarding the warehouse.
"Do you feel that there is something wrong with those people's cultivation?"
"What's wrong?"
The orc overseer thought for a moment and said, "Before, they would look at me with hatred and try to attack me, but in recent months, no one has done that."
Several orcs guarding the warehouse laughed loudly, and one of them even showed a disdainful look.
"Human cultivators are a despicable race, they are afraid of death and cowardly. They might be scared, hahaha!"
is that so
The orc overseer was a little confused. While he was still asking questions, he heard a few people talking about tomorrow's Beast God Festival.
A fanatical look appeared on his face, and he instantly threw away the doubts in his heart.
Tomorrow will be his first time to go to the Beast God Temple to participate in the Beast God Festival. For any half-orc, this is a great honor.
As they were talking, one of the orcs suddenly thought of something and his expression became serious.
"Tomorrow is our great celebration. Those despicable humans will definitely take the opportunity to invade our territory as they did in previous years. We must be on guard against the border."
"Don't worry about these. If you can think of it, how can the elders not think of it? And in just one day, the human race can't come up with any tricks.
You should think carefully about how to gain the favor of the Beast God during the Beast God Festival tomorrow!"
Just as the orcs were celebrating for the upcoming Beast God Festival tomorrow, in the narrow and dark mine, the human monks reached a consensus in a unique way.
Whether you can escape from this dark mine depends on tomorrow!
"Dong Dong Dong."
Three light knocks were heard on the stone wall of the mine.
Xu Chunniang turned around and exchanged a glance with the thin and dark monk who was knocking on the stone wall. Everything was said without words.
The thin and dark monk nodded slightly, turned around and disappeared into the dark mine tunnel.
It was the hour of Yin and the celebrations in the various Beast God Temples had not yet begun. The many orcs who were invited had already been waiting in the Beast God Temples for a long time.
