Chapter 623



623 Chapter 623, Lice Crystal Mine!

The Little Azure Dragon Bi Wei gloomily returned to Yang Tian’s shoulder. The black-clothed man’s contempt earlier had made it extremely angry. Staring at the back of the black-clothed man, the Little Azure Dragon’s eyes were about to spew fire.

But now, it could only endure!

With its and Yang Tian’s current strength, they were simply not a match for this black-clothed young man.

Right now, for Yang Tian and the little azure dragon, their survival was more important for the time being. They could only take it one step at a time.

The black-clothed young man brought Yang Tian onto an aircraft and locked him and the little azure dragon into a dark cabin.

This was an aircraft with a very simple appearance. It was less than 20 meters long and had a flat triangle shape. The space inside was very narrow. After being locked in the cabin, the air became stuffy.

As soon as the aircraft moved, it made a rumbling noise as if it was going to fall apart at any time.

After a few minutes, Yang Tian felt that the aircraft had left the ground and flew into the air.

Yang Tian was very nervous. Ever since he became a martial artist, he had never felt so helpless. He once again experienced the feeling of being a weakling.

This feeling was very uncomfortable. He could not help but think of what the masked man in Black had said to him..

About half an hour later, the aircraft finally landed on the ground.

A few minutes later, the cabin door opened and an ear-piercing light shone into the dark cabin.

“#@…”

Immediately, a series of curses entered Yang Tian’s ears.

Although he did not understand, Yang Tian knew that the black-clothed young man wanted him to leave immediately.

After jumping from the cabin to the ground, before Yang Tian could react, there was a ‘Ka’sound, and a silver-white metal collar appeared on his neck. Then, it automatically tightened, causing Yang Tian’s breath to tighten.

Fortunately, this kind of thing could be adjusted automatically. After it tightened, it loosened a little.

“Cough, cough…”

Yang Tian, who had not fully recovered from his injuries, only felt a little better after coughing for a while.

At this moment, he saw a middle-aged man in yellow hand a black cloth bag the size of a fist to the young man in black.

The young man in black opened the bag and looked at it. He used his hand to pick it up a few times and nodded in satisfaction before returning to the spaceship.

Upon seeing this, Yang Tian touched the collar on his neck. He knew that he had been sold by the black-robed young man.

“#@…”

After the black-robed young man left on the spaceship, the middle-aged man said a few words to Yang Tian before turning around and leaving.

Although he did not know what the other party was talking about, he could only obediently follow behind the yellow-robed middle-aged man..

More than thirty days later.

“Yang Tian, how is your mission for this cycle coming along?”An old man with a hunched figure, tattered clothes, and a silver-white collar on his neck walked over and asked with a smile.

“It’s already completed,”Yang Tian replied with a smile.

It had been more than thirty days since he came to this world. Yang Tian had long learned the language and characters of this world.

The reason why he was so fast was all thanks to this old man called Bai Song.

“This…”hearing Yang Tian’s words, Bai song chuckled and rubbed his hands.

Yang Tian understood Bai song’s meaning, and he passed a bag containing lice crystals to Bai song.

After Bai song received it, he chuckled and scratched his head in a simple and honest manner.

When the little azure dragon saw this, its eyes were filled with disdain.

From its point of view, this old man came over every day to rub things. It helped Yang Tian collect lice crystals and gave at least half of them to this old man.

If it wasn’t for Yang Tian saving Bai song when he first came, Bai song would have died in the mining area.

Yang Tian’s current location was a lice crystal mine.

Lice crystals in this world were equivalent to the star crystals in Yang Tian’s original world.

Lice crystals were light purple crystals that were rich in energy. They could be directly absorbed by cultivators to increase the energy in their bodies.

However, to absorb the energy of lice crystals, one needed a special cultivation technique.

In this world, lice crystals were also a hard currency. The currencies issued by various countries were also issued based on the stock of lice crystals.

The mining of lice crystals mainly relied on manual methods.

This was because in a large mining area, the distribution of lice crystals was uneven. Sometimes, there were large patches of them, but sometimes, they were very scattered. In the ore, they all existed in the form of particles, with different sizes.

If machines were used, it was very easy to destroy the lice crystals.

In fact, the more important reason was that there were powerful mechanical races in this world. As long as they were willing, they could invade and control all the machines that were controlled by the program.

Yang Tian and the little azure dragon were currently in a deep cave in the mining area. The light was rather dim.

Every cycle was about five days. Yang Tian and the other miners who wore runic mechanism collars around their necks had to hand over the lice crystals that they had mined once.

Because the miners in the mining area were not powerful cultivators, they would not be able to absorb the lice crystals. Therefore, as long as they did not leave the mining area and handed over the lice crystals according to the prescribed amount, they would still be relatively free in the mining area.

However, if they could not complete it, the consequences would be quite serious. At the very least, they would be deprived of food, and at the very worst, the runic collar on the mining owner’s neck would be detonated.

Bai song had worked here for more than a hundred years. Due to years of hard work, he had long since run out of oil. When Yang Tian was brought here by one of the mining owner’s subordinates, Bai song was almost starving to death.

Yang Tian gave half of his food to Bai song before Bai song was saved.

What was worth mentioning was that Yang Tian’s storage bracelet and the worm brain pendant were all taken away and temporarily kept in the mine owner’s hands.

Fortunately, the strange program had already transferred to Yang Tian’s brain before the mine owner took away the worm brain pendant.

Moreover, the strange program had even memorized the graphics and words on the scroll.

“The time is almost up. Let’s go out!”Yang Tian looked at Bai song’s smiling face and said with a smile.

Yang Tian was a person who valued friendship very much. Bai song was also quite pitiful. When he was young, he had been sold to this lice mine. He hadn’t been able to leave for a hundred years and had to work until his death.

In reality, most miners had this fate.

Of course, in order to give the miners hope and prevent them from rebelling, the family that owned this lice mine had set up a reward measure. As long as they could complete the triennial assessment.., they would be able to become a family guardian of the family.

Of course, this assessment was extremely harsh. Out of the tens of thousands of miners in the mining area, there were less than ten people who could pass the assessment every three years.

The content of the assessment was first, to collect as many lice crystals as possible within the stipulated time.

Second, physical fitness, including strength and endurance.

Third, talent in cultivation.

Fourth, whether they had any special skills.

Those who were sold or obtained from selling to the mining area were all very ordinary humans. Therefore, most of the miners did not have much hope for this. In fact, very few people actually signed up for the assessment.

Humans were creatures that were easy to get used to. If they stayed in the mining area for a long time and formed a habit, even if they were asked to leave the mining area, they would probably not be willing.

This was similar to the prisoners on Earth who had been locked up for decades. Once they were released from prison, they would probably not be happy, but confused about the future.

Yang Tian brought the little azure dragon and Bai song. They walked in the mining cave for about half an hour before they left the cave.

After staying in the mine for a long time, the moment they left the mine, they felt the blinding light. It took Yang Tian a few minutes to get used to it.

Little Azure Dragon, who was lying on Yang Tian’s shoulder, was no exception.

Every time the ‘delivery’was due, it was the busiest day in the mine.

Tens of thousands of miners all came out of the mine and lined up in dozens of lines. They passed by a pavilion and handed in the collected lice crystals.

Those who completed the mission in excess would receive a bonus.

With the bonus, the miners could spend money in the casinos, brothels, restaurants and other entertainment places in the mine.

If the mission was not completed, there would be no standard food.
