Chapter 686.
Chapter 686 – The Captive
Xu Chuniang got up in silence, picked up the mining hoe and basket on the ground, and followed the example of the others, heading towards the mine.
Looking at today’s situation, I’m afraid that the entire cultivators on the flying boat have fallen into the captivity of the Orcs.
The human being is the chopping board, she is the fish meat, before recovering strength, it is not advisable to act rashly.
Mining is fine, it’s better than dying.
The aura was sealed, but unfortunately, the little walnut in the spirit of the Yuan is still there.
Fortunately, she realized that it was not good after the appearance of the Beast Abyss and hid the twig and other important things into the small world in advance.
There were only a few worthless grade four spirit items inside the mustard space, so there wasn’t much to lose if they were destroyed.
In the dark and narrow mine cave, there was an Orc overseer who was patrolling at regular intervals.
Once someone walked slowly, a whip would fall on them, accompanied by a few sentences of unintelligible Orc language, the atmosphere was depressing and silent.
Most of these ragged and numb human cultivators had the cultivation level of the God Transformation Stage, and there were quite a few that were even in the Void Refining Stage.
Now that they were captives, their cultivation and aptitude were sealed, and they were enslaved to do hard labor, the unwillingness and grievance in their hearts could be imagined.
Finally someone could not bear it anymore, he threw down the basket on his back and pounced towards the Orc in front of him.
Instead of suffering this inhuman torture, he would rather die!
The Orc was pounced on the ground, but he was not panicked, and directly used his divine sense to detonate the prohibition in the circle.
“Bang!”
The human who was pressed on top of the Orc screamed miserably, only to see his hands and feet, both blown off in unison.
What was even more horrifying was that a bloody hole had also appeared at his dantian.
The Orc pushed him away and rolled over, waving the whip in his hand and flinging it down towards the cultivator on the ground.
“Snap, snap!”
One crisp whip sound after another echoed in the mine cave.
The human cultivators on the ground had long been bloodied and battered, but they were unable to beg for death due to the strong vitality of the Transformation Spirit cultivators.
Seeing this scene of human cultivators, their eyes revealed the color of anger and intolerance, and they could not wait to fight for their lives with these Orcs.
However, the heavy iron rings on their wrists and ankles forced them to calm down, swarming up would not change anything and would make their situation worse.
A series of dozens of lashes, the Orc stopped moving, he scanned the week, using the human language slowly said.
“Before digging out this mine, you’d better be honest, or I’ll make your lives worse than death!”
The human cultivator became even angrier, yet also more silent.
They gripped the mining hoes in their hands tightly, lowered their heads, and walked through the mine without saying a word.
Xu Chuniang witnessed all of this and became more and more conscious of the fact that she could not act rashly before removing the odd rings from her hands and feet and figuring out the strength of these Orcs.
She was silent as she continued walking towards the ground.
When they reached the depths of the mine vein, without the figure of those Orc overseers, the atmosphere finally eased.
Accompanied by the sound of ore mining, there was the sound of talking vaguely emanating from one of the mining caves.
“Today only six phoenix ripple stones were mined, and seventy-odd pieces of grade five spirit ore, I’m afraid I’ll be starving again, when will such days end!”
“Just stay up, maybe one day, someone great will come to save us.”
“Alas, I don’t know, can we wait until that day ……”
Xu Chuniang walked into an unoccupied mining cave and surveyed the odd iron ring on her wrist.
On this iron ring, there were many black runes inscribed, encompassing the power of several laws, and it looked very complicated.
She tugged at the iron ring on her ankle with both hands, trying to see if she could remove it, but in vain. This iron ring was like it was welded to her body, it was not something that could be removed by brute force.
Utilizing the Meteorite Heart Flame may be able to incinerate the iron ring ……
Since devouring the White Cold Flame, the grade of the Meteorite Heart Flame had broken through to the sixth level in one fell swoop, and was able to melt the sixth level Spirit Ore.
It was unknown what kind of material this iron ring was made of, but it was thought that its grade would not be higher than grade six.
Just using the Meteoric Heart Flame to calcine the iron ring would most likely be sensed by the Orcs, thus alerting the snakes.
Before finding out exactly how many Orcs were in this vein, it was best to continue to hibernate.
She picked up the mining hoe on the ground and silently mined the spirit ore.
After staying in the mine for a few days, soon enough, Xu Chuniang figured out the rules of the mine.
For all human cultivators, the daily mining task was ten grade six spirit stones, and one hundred grade five spirit stones.
If the amount mined was not enough, and the task was not completed, starvation and beatings were commonplace.
The Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators had been restoring their grain for many years, and originally, they did not need to eat.
The strange circle on their bodies sealed off all the spiritual qi, coupled with mining day and night, they used up a lot of physical strength and could only replenish their strength through spiritual food.
The spirit food provided by the Orcs naturally wouldn’t be anything good, if it wasn’t for the purpose of utilizing these human cultivators to mine the veins, they wouldn’t even provide spirit food.
At the hour of handing over the spirit ore, a large number of human cultivators dragged their tired bodies out of the mines and walked towards the pits outside.
The overseers of the half-beast human race picked and picked at the spirit ore that had been mined, and anyone who didn’t have enough would have half of their spirit food deducted.
Those who were unlucky would also receive a few lashes.
Xu Chuniang was in the long line, looking inconspicuous.
When it was her turn, she poured out the spirit ores she had mined from her back basket, a total of ten grade six spirit ores and one hundred and one grade five spirit ores.
The Orc Supervisor let out a light grunt and put away all the spirit ores, throwing out a bundle of spirit grasses that shimmered with silver light.
This spirit grass was called Silver Star Grass, a second-pole lower grade, the most common thing in the spirit world, and could be found almost everywhere.
In the Human Race, this Silver Star Grass was not even willing to be eaten by Foundation Establishment Stage Spirit Pets, but it was used by the Orcs as their Spirit Food.
Xu Chuniang picked up the Silver Star Grass on the ground, put it into her back basket, and turned towards the mine.
Other than the hour of handing over the spirit ore, the rest of the time, human cultivators were not allowed to leave the mine cave.
After entering the mine cave, Xu Chuniang didn’t rush to go deeper, but deliberately slowed down her pace.
Not long after, the figures of Xie Xun and Xie Ying’s siblings appeared in the mine cave.
The two caught up with Xu Chuniang and exchanged a look before unspokenly choosing the same mine path.
Following the mine path deeper and deeper until there were no more Orc overseers around, the expressions of the three only relaxed slightly.
Xie Ying looked indignant as she smashed the mining hoe and the back basket onto the ground.
“This Spirit World is also too pitiful! There’s also that Long family, collecting 60,000 spirit crystals from me and my brother, what’s the use of the result?
If I had known that I would fall into the captivity of the Orcs, I might as well have gone straight to Crane City, even if I encountered a robber of the road, I wouldn’t have been reduced to such a state.”
Xie Xie let out a long sigh and laughed bitterly.
“What’s the use of talking about this now? Who knew that these Orcs were so bold that they actually dared to penetrate deep into the Human Race and openly took all the people on the entire flying boat captive.”
