Chapter 735: We Are Both Wanderers

Years later, Hei Shen would always think of that distant afternoon when he and the miners went to visit the newcomers.

At that time, Haoshan was a world of snow, with a layer of ice everywhere. Everyone had to break the ice, pry open the thick frozen soil, and then dig down to find ore. Often, overnight, the holes that were dug with great difficulty would be sealed by snow again.

So everyone was asked to relay the work to each other. As long as the mines and tunnels did not stop working, they would not freeze and they could continue to dig out ores containing the omnistone.

The local leader is King Haoshan, a giant golem shaped like a mountain who likes to talk everywhere.

It always says to everyone: "Work hard, and you will be promoted to a higher position and enjoy a prosperous life in the future!"

However, no matter how hard the miners try, at best they can become supervisors of other miners.

The job of the supervisor is to find faults. You must find the problems, otherwise the supervisor himself has problems. If there are problems all the time, it means that the supervisor himself has problems. In short, this is also a very difficult job.

This is the situation in Haoshan under the rule of the god [Golden Hoop Immortal].

The newcomer Xi Suo was sent to Haoshan with an iron hoop and became one of the new miners.

Hisoka carried a wooden table on his back and he treasured it very much.

If someone touches his table, it will immediately warn the other person with a serious face.

"This is the Queen Mother's Terrace. You must not offend the majesty of the Queen Mother of the West. If the Queen Mother of the West gets angry, the consequences will be serious."

Compared to this strange behavior, its lizard face, broken tail, and bruised face all looked very normal.

When the miners first saw how nervous it was, they thought there was some secret, but after looking around, they found no hidden power in the table.

Once, when Hisoka was carrying the table and swinging the pickaxe, two legs fell off by themselves. He quickly picked them up and carefully put them back, muttering "Forgive me, forgive me".

It was a very old wooden table with quite a few scratches and damage on it.

Hisoka always wipes it clean, and whenever he has free time, he meditates in front of the table.

Black Cane asked the miner who sent it over: "Brother, what's the situation with that table?"

"It's the tradition of their clan."

The miner said, "It's nothing special. This lizardman's head was smashed. We picked it up from a nearby world fragment. Sometimes it behaves weirdly. Take care of it and let it mine well. Don't cause us any trouble. Remember that."

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Hei Shen lowered his head and said.

He inquired about Hisoka's affairs, not because Hei Can had a good impression of the lizardman, but because Hisoka was assigned to work with him. It had been more than a year since his last partner died, and Hei Can hadn't enjoyed his solo life for long before he had to work with two people again.

In the mines of Haoshan, miners work in groups of two. They are always tied with iron rings and connected to each other. They must move together to move. If one of them stops, the other cannot move either. Both parties must cooperate.

Once the iron ring lock is removed, it will alarm King Hao Shan. Once it is put on, it must be worn all the time unless you are promoted to supervisor.

This move seems to affect mining efficiency, but its real purpose is to prevent miners from escaping.

If one of the two miners changed his mind, it would be impossible for the other to escape.

Everyone is suspicious of each other and it is difficult for them to be of one mind.

Hisoka's first words to Black Ginseng were: "You're still a child, why are you here mining?"

Black Ginseng put his hands behind his back and told it: "I am a ginseng spirit. I am 1,265 years old this year. I am indeed not very old. It's just that I have been like this since I was born. I always look like a boy."

He asked back, “How old are you?”

"Two hundred and forty-six years old."

"Then you are the kid." Hei Shen smiled faintly: "Regardless of age, experience, or seniority here, I am arrogant enough to call you my brother, and I hope we can cooperate with each other."

"No problem, bro."

Hei Shen’s smile froze.

This guy is a bit tricky.

On the first day of going to the mine, Hisoka caused trouble. After digging out the Omnistone, he ate the ore directly.

The black ginseng next to him was shocked. Although this place does keep everyone in a state of hunger to avoid thinking about things and running away, the mine you eat directly contains all kinds of messy stones and unpredictable things.

Soon Hisoka was rolling on the ground, his body twisted in pain, while the supervisors and miners beat him up.

After being beaten, the lizard's mouth and nose were covered in blood, but it seemed a little clearer.

"Sorry, I can't eat it. I'm a miner and I have to mine."

It stood up shakily, picked up the pickaxe and continued mining.

Black ginseng confirmed.

This lizard man does have something wrong with his brain.

Hei Shen said half-jokingly and half-warningly: "Brother Xi Suo, don't think about the ginseng seeds and leaves on my head. My partner stole my ginseng seeds before and died."

It pointed above its head.

A bun will grow on the ginseng spirit's head, with a bunch of small bright red fruits and green leaves growing around it.

But the situation of the black ginseng is different. The fruit on the top of his head is black, and the green leaves are also covered with black veins. On the surface of his childlike white skin, there are also strands of black lines like tattoos, just like the marks on prisoners in some worlds.

Black ginseng is born different from its peers.

Originally, it was impossible for the ginseng spirits to be thrown into such a place to work as low-level laborers. At the very least, they would be well raised, and when ginseng seeds grew on their heads, the fruits would be picked and traded.

Ginseng seed is a part of the ginseng essence and is also a precious raw material.

The ginseng seeds on the black ginseng head are quite special, with the effects of [poisoning] and [weakness].

He was considered to have no value as a ginseng spirit. If he remained among his kind, he would be a black sheep and would destroy the quality of the entire group. He was not easy to sell to outsiders.

So Hei Shen was kicked into the mining area, where he has been mining since he was a child.

"No."

While digging, Xi Suo muttered: "Queen Mother of the West, Queen Mother of the West, she will guide me... We must not eat each other, no, no."

It said to Black Ginseng: "My head was damaged, and I sometimes get crazy. Don't worry about me, just let me stay for a while."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Apart from his intermittent disorganized speech and meaningless gestures, Hisoka is not difficult to deal with under normal circumstances.

What surprised Hei Can the most was that this guy, although not at a high level, only LV44, was actually a descendant of God! "It shouldn't be like that." Hei Can was puzzled: "Descendants of God are one of the most noble races. Even a god like Lord [Golden Hoop Immortal] should train you well. There is no problem for you to be an apostle."

"That's what they said initially."

Hisoka scratched his head: "My awakened ability is of no use to them, and my head was damaged, so I don't function normally very often. I can't do anything else, so they asked me to come here to mine."

Only then did Hei Shen know.

It turns out that we are both wanderers in this world.

"What's wrong with your head?"

Xi Suo recalled: "I have been captured by many people, participated in military battles, worked as a servant, been a slave, been hunted, and been kept as a pet... I don't know when the problem with my brain began."

Hei Shen gritted his teeth when he heard this.

A dignified descendant of God has fallen to such a fate. Even in this border zone forbidden by God, it is too tragic.

He asked, "Why are you here?"

Xi Suo said: "I am following the footsteps and guidance of our god, Queen Mother of the West, and moving towards the heaven. Our clan was originally divided into two parts, one part continued to lay a solid foundation, and the other part began to fly outward and approach the heaven."

Hei Shen shook his head: "The gods cannot exert their power in this place. You have been deceived."

"No, Queen Mother of the West has always been with us. She is even watching me now."

The lizard man's eyes were firm.

"Although I always think that we don't need much advice from others in life, I really suggest that you clear your mind. You are already in this state. If the Queen Mother of the West is really here, why doesn't she come out to save you?"

Black Ginseng sneered.

God? They are just a group of extremely powerful higher life forms.

The border zone is the natural barrier before the gods, making it impossible for their divine power and the fire of faith to cross it, and they can only use the power of ordinary life.

"We are the descendants of God. We have the power to break through everything here and move towards our God."

Xi Suo emphasized: "We are rushing to the heaven where the gods are, not for what we can get, but because the Queen Mother of the West is calling us."

He raised his hand, and a picture slowly emerged in the cold air.

A simple building that looks like a conference hall, a pool with twinkling stars, and a building with flying eaves shrouded in clouds and mist, with floating pedestrians strolling among them.

"This is the paradise I'm looking for, Kunlun. Do you know Kunlun?"

Hei Shen said he knew.

The lizard man was overjoyed: "Can you tell me about Kunlun?"

"I only know the name Kunlun and that it is a mythical anchorage." Hei Can told the other party: "Our place, Haoshan, belongs to the myth of [Penglai]. I am also from Penglai, and [Penglai] and [Kunlun] have had a grudge in the past... or we can say that we have known each other for many years."

"I have heard of the name of Queen Mother of the West. She is indeed the famous main deity of Kunlun. She is similar to the status of Chi You, the Lord of Arms, in Penglai in ancient times, right?"

"But Kunlun had already declined many years ago. It seemed that it was destroyed and fell by some evil demon from outer space. The gods inside died or fled."

Black Ginseng patted the lizard man on the back and said, "Young man, don't daydream. Fantasies will only hurt yourself. You will never find the mythical anchorage. Don't bother yourself. You've already gone through so much trouble."

Xi Suo stared at the projection in the air: "Kunlun is in that direction. If we keep going forward, we will reach Kunlun."

Hei Shen was a little annoyed: "Then let me ask you, your tribe has been wandering all the way, with heavy casualties and losses. If you finally stand on Kunlun, what can you get? Is it worth it?"

The lizard man smiled and rubbed his paws excitedly.

"That would be great."

Black ginseng was helpless.

This kid lives in his own world, completely ignoring the real situation outside. It's strange that such a descendant of God can still live to this day.
