Chapter 20
"Okay, cheer up, let's work happily together."

Qiba clapped his hands and led the group of them into the mine.

rumbling...

The sky was thundering, and the rain gradually became heavier.

The ground of the mine is wet and dirty, and many workers who have finished digging are being transported out on wooden carts, with guards guarding them.

Wentian could only follow up, it is still very unwise to run away now, his physical strength is still very weak, he must have suffered internal injuries when he was sucked into the vortex, and he didn't know where it was, so he dared not act rashly.

The light in the cave is a bit dim, but torches are used to illuminate it at intervals.

After walking for seven or eight minutes, a huge inner space appeared in front of them. Even Wentian was a little surprised. They actually hollowed out the entire mountain.

Ganqing looks like a huge mountain range on the outside, but it is actually a shell.

After distributing a pickaxe to everyone, Nangong Wentian and the others were assigned to the so-called fourth team.

clang clang...

Looking at the former red-haired man who was working hard in the coal mine, Wentian looked around the mine tunnel and found no soldiers, so he hurried over to ask.

"Brother, what is this place?"

It can be seen that there is no more expression on this person's face, and he just replied flatly: "Tianji Mine."

Wen Tianzhu thought for a while with the pickaxe, but he didn't hear it, so he continued to ask: "Then how far is it from Tianyang City?"

Bei Mingxue and Dongfang Tiexin were still waiting for him outside the Dark Night Forest, and they would definitely worry if he didn't go back.

Unexpectedly, the red-haired man just looked up a few times, then continued digging, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up, or we won't have anything to eat at noon."

Wentian shook his head, a little helpless, he knew that this person probably had no hope of living, because he would dig mines here for a lifetime.

"Let's get to know each other, my name is Gu Bei."

In order to avoid trouble, he reported the name of his previous life.

"Qi Lei!"

The red-haired man just responded to these two words.

……

After a few hours, Wentian, who had not recovered from his internal injuries and physical strength, didn't dig out much coal. Others dug out a basket, but he only had a third.

When Qiba came to check at noon, he found that all the workers who came today worked hard to complete the production, but there was only one person who did not.

"Why did you only dig so much?"

Qiba walked up to Wentian, tapped the basket in front of him with a stick in his hand, said in a deep voice, his face extremely ugly.

"It's not good for me to be injured, I can't dig that much."

Wentian answered briefly, if he had the strength to dig out so much, would he still need to talk nonsense with you here?
"Hehe...Okay, you are not allowed to eat at noon, and the output in the afternoon will be double for me, otherwise you will not be allowed to eat at night."

Hearing Wentian's answer, Qiba didn't get angry, but instead smiled and said, before leaving, he didn't forget to pat him on the shoulder.

Wentian clenched his fists tightly. This is a place where people cannibalize. Seeing other miners looking at him mockingly, he knew that these people would rot here for the rest of their lives, and even had servility in their bones.

Noon is said to be a meal, but in fact it is a steamed bun of whole grain noodles and a bowl of porridge for each person, which is not enough for an adult's daily workload.

Wentian sat alone on the ground of the mine tunnel, and had a half-hour break at noon. He planned not to work in the afternoon to recover his strength, and then escaped at night.

"Give you."

At this time Qi Lei suddenly walked over, stretched out his thick arms and handed half a steamed bun in front of him.

"You?!" Wentian's body trembled slightly. In this place where there is not enough to eat, is there anyone who is willing to give him half of the food?It really moved him a little.

He was not polite either, he took the steamed bun and gnawed on it, and said with a smile, "Thank you brother!"

Qi Lei also sat beside him, and laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "They're all suffering people, if we can help a little, we're going to stay in this damn place for the rest of our lives anyway."

"Why don't you want to escape?"

Wentian gnawed on the steamed bun in his hand, and asked with a choked mouth.

Qi Lei turned his head to look at him, and said with a light smile, "You are not from our place, are you? If you escape, you will die."

Before Wentian could answer, he continued, "I've heard of the Tianyang City you mentioned, and it takes about half a year to reach the south of Moxi Town."

"Half...half a year?!"

Wentian was stunned for a moment, he stammered and said the last few words, isn't this a bit of a joke?

With such a suction, he was sucked so far away?It will take half a year to go back.

And even if he went back, he didn't think Bei Mingxue and Dongfang Tiexin would just wait there for him for half a year.

After taking a deep breath and calming down, he continued to ask, "How did you get caught here to mine?"

"It's the Alliance of Divine Soldiers... Each of our family needs to send a person to mine for life to provide supplies for the people of the Holy Alliance."

Qi Lei sighed softly and explained, "It was originally my dad who came here. Because he has worked hard all his life, I secretly replaced him. Maybe I will never see him again."

When he said this, Qi Lei's eyes trembled, and his tone became lighter and lighter, obviously speaking of pain.

Wentian didn't answer. He had seen the existence of the Shenbing Alliance on the Shenbing Continent Analysis, which was similar to the ancient dynasties in his previous life.

He is the manager of Tianlong Kingdom, and in the previous Tianyang City, he was also in charge of the Shenbing Alliance.

It's just that they didn't expect that they were so cruel and forced to expropriate slaves for profit. How is this different from slavery in feudal dynasties?
Moreover, there are very few people who have transformed magical beasts, and most of the magical beasts in the Divine Soldiers Continent do not have the ability to transform.

Therefore, most people do not follow the magic soldiers and beasts.

"Thank you for the food, a drop of water will be repaid."

Wentian stood up with a smile, unlike other people in the mine, Qi Lei looked at him coldly and mockingly because he was fined not to eat.

Just take him with you when you leave tonight, it won't bother you anyway.

In the afternoon, everyone was diligently digging with iron picks, but Wentian was pretending to be doing foreign work there for the patrolling soldiers to see.

When it was getting close to night, everyone saw that he had dug out only a few pieces of coal all afternoon, and they were all shocked. Did this person want to rebel or didn't want to live anymore?

You must know that Qiba's ruthlessness is not a joke. When I come to inspect and see that there is no production, the consequences can be imagined...

"Do you think I have a good temper?"

When everyone stood up and waited for inspection, Qiba looked down at some broken coal in the basket and said in a low voice.
