Chapter 4, Decapitation Rice

The one-eyed overseer immediately nodded respectfully and, along with more than ten other overseers, walked into the crowd amidst the fearful gazes of the miners, scrutinizing each miner as if selecting goods

The external world

When Meng Qingshuang gazes into the depths of the abyss

Do you want to listen to what you are saying yourself

In the discussions of the supervisors

This brings to mind the strangeness of the No. 1 mine cave.

His distinctly black and white eyes suddenly rolled upward and disappeared, replaced by a pair of crimson, cold-blooded vertical pupils

Lacking the strength of others and being constrained everywhere, it is imperative to leave the Chihuo Mine as soon as possible

Speaking

The one-eyed overseer cleared his throat and, with a beaming smile directed at the fifty anxious miners, announced: "Dear colleagues, we have great news!"

Wu Daozheng was about to turn around and take the risk of trying to catch another "fish," when suddenly, footsteps echoed from the entrance of the cave.

Meng Qingshuang's eyes, resembling slender willows, always left a trace of attention for Wu Dao, as if the moment he displayed even the slightest abnormality, a thunderous intervention would immediately descend

No one has stepped forward for a long time

After completely distancing from Mine No. 1

It is ! ''

Two meals a day

Silence

One month ago

To still have the heart of a Bodhisattva, truly one has the face to speak such words

As the serpent's eyes open, the world is drenched in blood red, and even in the depths of the dark mire, where the scorching sunlight cannot penetrate, clarity emerges.

Although the miners trembled involuntarily, they still lowered their heads, and no one was willing to take a step forward

He pointed to a bowl of fragrant meat dishes on the table and said: "Starting today, for the next ten days, everyone’s workload at the mine will be halved, and there will be meat for every meal, morning and evening, to bring everyone some joy and to help replenish your strength."

Meng Qingshuang finally retracted the warm smile on her face, her crimson tongue licking her lips, revealing a greedy look in her eyes akin to that of a hungry beast: "It smells so good, seeing pieces of meat every day but unable to eat them, tsk, but it won't be long now"

Finally

Like in an ink swamp

"Eat, why are you all just looking at me?"

The overseer threw a piece of meat, prompting the miners to kill each other in a brutal fight for entertainment purposes

Meng Qingshuang, although she is the person in charge of the Red Fire Mine, usually stays in the residence deep within the library and does not appear at the mine site

Great kindness and generosity

Snap

You, get lost

Spread open the palm

Wu Dao involuntarily rubbed his teeth, feeling a slight sense of unease in his heart

Do you dare to eat

Reality often proves that plans cannot keep up with changes

including Wu Dao

The share of the demon species from the Chihuo Mine will be delivered tomorrow

Wu Dao cooperatively began to "tremble", breathing rapidly, like a small rabbit awaiting the judgment of a fierce beast

Before long, most of the original three hundred miners had retreated to the rear, leaving only fifty still standing in front of the cafeteria

If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't win, every miner would want to stab out the remaining eye of that one-eyed overseer, since it is already blind, what purpose does it serve

Rest assured, the situation in Dali has become quite chaotic, and no one will be able to influence the plans of the Four Seas Gang any longer

The sound of continuous gong strikes echoed through the Red Fire Mine

The footsteps are heavy

The one-eyed overseer was thoroughly enraged, cursing loudly, and was about to whip the miners in the front row.

With Meng Qingshuang, whose strength remains inscrutable, leading the charge, even if Wu Dao resorts to the desperate measure of employing the secret technique of stealing the heavens, he still has little confidence in his chances of success

However

But upon reflection, Wu Dao chuckled to himself, feeling that his recent adventurous idea was somewhat impulsive

He continued to rub the iron ball, ignoring the chill in the cave and the wailing of ghosts carried by the wind, as he walked to the edge of the dark abyss, gazing down intently

Hoo.

The number of guards from the Four Seas Gang around the high walls of the mine has suddenly increased several times

Wu Dao, who had just come up from the mine, knew that it was time for a meal

Due to a trivial matter, Meng Qingshuang, from a distance of seven or eight meters, pierced the head of a foreman with an iron ball in her hand

What a pity

Fortunately

A meal consisting of a foul-smelling black sweet potato that could chip a tooth, accompanied by plenty of dirty water

Only a fool would dare

However, as soon as the number 1 mine appeared the "strange", Meng Qingshuang arrived, making it difficult not to speculate whether there is any connection between the two and whether there are any hidden conspiracies behind the scenes

On the way

Despite having experienced countless storms and waves, Wu Daoxin remained unfazed, while on the surface he trembled violently, stuttering and wearing a look of sheer fright: "Thank you very much, my lord."

The consequences are unimaginable

What matters more is strength

Observe for a moment

Limited by the lack of inherited memory, his understanding of the extraordinary aspects of this world is too shallow, making it difficult for him to come up with a rationale.

In the face of his fierce reprimand

When you discover a cockroach, it indicates that there is already a nest in the house

This is the food of the miners in the Chihuo mine, which even dogs outside would not eat, yet it is the life-sustaining medicine for the miners struggling to survive

It inexplicably reminded Wu Dao of the scene of selecting a suicide squad. Could it be that the Four Seas Gang is preparing to wage war against some enemy, allowing them to eat their fill before sending them to the front lines to die?

Ding ding ding

However, when Wu Dao saw Meng Qingshuang, who stood out among a group of overseers, his brows furrowed

Tick-tock

The strength is evident in certain aspects

If it were not for the strange incident that just occurred, he might not have thought much about it

However

Cough cough ... ...

Thinking of this

As a bucket of ice water fell from the sky, it violently extinguished Wu Dao's fervent aspirations for the outside world

The person in charge of the Red Fire Mine, the fourth adopted son of the leader of the Four Seas Gang

Between words, Meng Qingshuang's lips had already dripped with saliva, her entire being resembling a great serpent that devours those it chooses, her eyes filled with a frenzied longing.

Cough cough

Because he knows

The one-eyed overseer saw that the group of miners all had their heads down and were silent. Feeling that he had lost face in front of Meng Qingshuang, his expression immediately darkened.

Most miners have weak and unsteady legs

Those who treat you like a beast all day long, and readily shout threats of violence, suddenly offer you good food and drink

Meng Qingshuang

... ...

Accompanied by the sound of iron and stone colliding, the figure of the newcomer became clear in Wu Dao's field of vision

Ah, human greed knows no bounds.

Click.

Observe the changes calmly, face them with composure, and perhaps one can still break free from the constraints

The path following the Stealing Heaven's Secret Breathing Technique has been found

The conversation has concluded

Before reaching the cafeteria, the rich aroma of meat wafted through the air, instantly stimulating the digestive system and causing the mouth to water

At that time, you and I will naturally benefit immensely, and it is not impossible for us to be honored as ancestors in the future

Wu Daogang is precisely among them

An event that occurred the following evening

Strength like that of a mammoth, hide tougher than cowhide, perception and endurance beyond human limits, comparable to a humanoid beast of prey, effortlessly engaging in hand-to-hand combat against hundreds of armed assailants!

He currently has no chance whatsoever to break through the blockade; it is estimated that as soon as he reaches the wall, he will be shot into a beehive by crossbows!

Not bad, it's almost there

Meng Qingshuang crushed the small snake in her hand, her gaze icy: "We are in a symbiotic relationship, not a master-servant one. Without me, would you be where you are today? Be honest with me!"

Click click

More than three hundred miners stood in silence, facing the brutal overseers, a deathly stillness enveloping them as they could only gaze at the approximately fifty bowls of fragrant braised pork on the table, unable to stop swallowing their saliva.

Meng Qingshuang nodded in satisfaction, like a fishery owner on the verge of a bountiful harvest

He is somewhat eager to see just how powerful the human body can become after breaking through 100% potential release

Wu Dao walked all the way to the cave entrance, while Meng Qingshuang did not move a step. The reason for her observation of him seemed to stem from a momentary curiosity, or perhaps from her inherently suspicious nature

The voice fell silent

However, today seems to be a bit different

Isn't this situation we find ourselves in the result of the misdeeds caused by your Four Seas Gang

Wu Dao left the mine after

Five days from now marks the auspicious occasion of the 80th birthday of the leader of the Sihai Gang. The leader is warm-hearted and compassionate, showing great concern for every member of the Sihai Gang. He cannot bear to see our hardworking miner brothers suffer and endure hardships, thus he rewards them according to their merits

Wu Daoxin felt a stir in his heart, reining in the greed in his eyes, restoring his numb and dazed expression, relaxing all his muscles, and lowering his head in an effort to appear harmless and weak

He glanced up.

The alarm bells of Wudao Heart Lake ring wildly, and the lowered gaze is filled with brutality, yet there is no way to break the deadlock

Let alone

Snap

In addition, there suddenly appeared several times more guards from the Sihai Gang

But immediately afterward, he suddenly began to cough violently, his face pale as gold paper, resembling a frail and ailing person, clearly on the brink of death

If one could stay in Mine No. 1 for an extended period of time

This level of combat power

What?

I am the fish, and they are the butcher's cleaver

It is as if an iron man is walking, and one can clearly hear the sound of gravel being compressed and crushed underfoot

This bizarre situation

But unfortunately ... ...

The blood in the palm was as black as ink, and there were small snakes the size of earthworms writhing within the blood

Currently, only 35% of potential has been liberated, and the first human shackles that Wu Dao can resist have not yet been broken

However

Wu Dao could only shake his head in regret and let out a sigh

Weak

With his current strength

Charming yet unassuming, with a delicate appearance, eyes resembling slender willows, and clad in a green brocade robe that envelops a tall figure

Wu Dao learned that Meng Qingshuang practiced the martial arts of this world and had already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage of divine power

Meng Qingshuang's complexion quickly regained its rosy hue, and the coldness in his eyes immediately transformed into gentleness, as he patiently spoke as if soothing a disobedient child

Wu Dao cast a discreet glance at the surrounding high walls, and his expression turned completely somber.

Wu Dao also gazed at the fifty large bowls filled with braised pork, feeling astonished and somewhat uncertain about what the Four Seas Gang truly intended to do

but there have been cases

Faced with Meng Qingshuang's gaze that concealed a dagger behind a smile

Eat! Aren't you all afraid of being poisoned?

Wu Dao's expression finally returned to indifference, his eyes slightly narrowed as he contemplated Meng Qingshuang's purpose for going to Mine No. 1

The iron ball in the right palm has stopped colliding

However, the words of the one-eyed overseer immediately overturned Wu Dao's speculation

Today, however, it made an unusual appearance twice

The activation of the attribute panel of the strange creature encountered moments ago completely ignited Wu Dao's curiosity about the unknown world beyond the high walls

Like maggots and worms, the dark shadows twist and roll, occasionally revealing the faces of suffering individuals, each distinct in their agony, creating an exceptionally nauseating and unsettling scene

It is not that he suffers from persecution delusions

What is this for

You, stay!

A suspected "anomalous" creature can provide him with 0.1 units of jump points

At the moment when Wu Daoxin's thoughts were in turmoil, Meng Qingshuang said淡淡 to a one-eyed overseer beside her.

Therefore

Even death row inmates will have a good meal before their execution

Wu Dao witnessed it with his own eyes

As the saying goes

The powerful will forged in his past life allowed Wu Dao to forcibly calm the unrest and agitation within his heart, bringing him to a state of tranquility

In the mine, he holds absolute authority, capable of determining the life and death of anyone with a single word; even the most ferocious foreman must submit to him like a docile kitten.

The mountain wind is about to arrive, great calamity is imminent

Full of goodwill, yet when savored slowly, it resembles a venomous snake flicking its tongue by one's ear, leaving one in suspense as to when it might strike, sending chills down the spine

Too weak

A single trick can compel him to exert all his efforts, leaving him in a state of utter disarray; should the den be blown up, they will come one after another.

From all directions, a total of at least 100 fierce and formidable guards armed with swords and guns have sealed off the entire mine

Meng Qingshuang cast a glance at Wu Dao, whose dirty hair covered his face, clothes reeking, and skin exposed with crusted dirt, and lightly laughed as if to remind a lost traveler: "Aren't you leaving? You shouldn't linger in this place."

A single strike to defeat an expert whose physical prowess is comparable to that of a world champion in boxing on Earth

The conversation is concluded

Wu Daoshen took a deep breath of the long-lost scent of meat, his expression unchanged, but his heart felt cold. He speculated that the group of overseers must have come up with some new method to torment the miners for their amusement.

No

Not merely because of his identity

To be precise, it is the snake's pupil

... ...

The voice is hoarse and soft.

In front of the open-air cafeteria

At dusk, the wind and sand create a gloomy atmosphere

A chilling scene unfolded

In his hand, he plays with two black iron balls, a faint smile of leisure at the corner of his mouth, resembling a refined young gentleman in a chaotic world

Haste is of no use

Once the matter is accomplished, what does it matter if there is no dantian? My brothers and sisters of the Four Seas Gang can still undergo a transformation, and everyone can become like a dragon

He secretly gathered all his energy, taking two steps for every three, shrinking his body as he passed by Meng Qingshuang.

The fifty miners left behind are all relatively vigorous, possessing robust physiques that stand out among their shorter peers.

Let us begin

Uncertain when

Those who were not selected are mostly emaciated and withered, resembling yellowed bean sprouts

How did he come here

The fifty miners were as silent as the dead

It is impossible to have such foot strength
