Chapter 736 Genius!
King Hao Shan often repeatedly emphasized: "You were all exiled here for various reasons. If you have any talent, you will not be completely useless."
"Here, you still have one last chance. That is to use the ore to prove your loyalty and diligence, to prove that you are not trash, not the scum of the bottom. As long as you can survive, work yourself to death!"
"Remember, this is your last chance to turn the tables in your life! Hollow out this world! This is your pledge of loyalty and your book of merit!"
"Your battlefield is a mine! Pick up your pickaxes and dig hard!"
Except for some newcomers with simple minds, everyone just listens to it for fun.
No matter how well everyone worked, the most they could do was to get King Haoshan a promotion. For the miners, the only meaning of the mining area was to provide a less strict prison.
Although it snows heavily here all year round, the ice on the ground is slippery and thick.
Sometimes some debris and unidentified objects fall from the sky for no apparent reason, and if you are unlucky, you will be dead if you are hit by them.
Ice mist will spray out from the ground, and people who cannot hide in time will be frozen into ice sculptures or icebergs. If the supervisors and miners find out early, it will be fine. If they find out too late, they will not be able to pull it out, and it will turn into real ice, but will retain its original appearance.
The ice here is not an ordinary natural phenomenon, but the concentrated evolution of the power of the rules of a world that is being destroyed.
There are some minor problems underground, too. Rock explosions occur around tunnels deep under the ice, and they become more powerful and difficult to prevent as you go deeper, a major disaster that causes heavy casualties among miners.
If you don't consider these, the big prison in the mining area is actually not bad.
Mining soldiers rarely beat miners. They are more like soldiers guarding the ore, and supervisors are responsible for keeping an eye on the miners.
In addition to the two people's dilemma caused by the [Iron Ring Lock], the miners were also restrained by hunger.
The miners in Haoshan were not able to get enough to eat. The food they were supplied was only enough to ensure that no one would die, and their bodies were in a weak state for a long time.
Apart from being urged to work by supervisors, the miners had only one word on their minds: hunger. They spent every day in fatigue, tension, hunger and weakness.
Under this carefully constructed mining system, it is difficult for miners to escape.
As far as Hei Can knows, several miners who had carefully planned for years escaped and returned to surrender not long after.
The reason is that it's more dangerous outside.
Many of the nearby worlds are hunting grounds for the trolls, a race that practices live feeding, eating their prey alive.
In order to ensure that the live food is fat enough, they will capture some living things and force-feed them, that is, use tubes and picks to stuff food into the mouths of live food. This will quickly force the live food to grow to about two to five times its original size.
Then the trolls would dip the live food in sauce and start eating.
Compared to being eaten alive by trolls with dip sauce, the mining area is like a loving family.
Furthermore, the void in the bordering zone is filled with world fragments and dust, and various void creatures are lurking. The hungry miners' vitality is simply not enough to support a long journey.
Therefore, King Haoshan was fearless.
The miners who escaped from prison would be put in solitary confinement and required to lick the feet of King Hao Shan, admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. Being crushed both physically and mentally, it would be even more difficult for them to resist or escape.
However, Hisoka thought about escaping from prison every day.
As soon as it told about its plan, everyone burst into laughter.
Hisoka's plan is to dig through the entire Haoshan world first. The scale of the underground rock burst will be unprecedented and shocking, like the destruction of the world, then the miners led by King Haoshan will panic, and then they will do their best to ensure the safety of the ore. At this time, everyone can rob the food warehouse and eat as much as they want.
"After we eat, we will have strength and we can escape."
Hisoka's lizard face was full of seriousness.
“Yes, yes.”
“Good idea!”
"genius!"
The miners all praised it.
"Then let's get started?" Xi Suo was immediately excited: "Everyone, follow me to Kunlun. As long as we can get close to Kunlun and get the approval of Lady Queen Mother of the West, no problem can hinder the power of unity!"
"Next time for sure. I've been a little tired lately."
"Think about it again, think about it again."
"Let's talk about it next year. I'm a little unsteady this year, so I'll take a year off first."
…
Hisoka brought a lot of fun to everyone.
But he was thinking about this problem seriously, pondering it every day on his baby's table, using stones to piece together a simulated jailbreak.
Even the supervisors and miners came up to offer advice.
The supervisor pointed out the loopholes in its plan: "This world is a small world. It will take hundreds of thousands of miners to dig through it. According to Hao Shan's average level of LV40, it would take at least 600,000 people."
"One mine tunnel cannot carry so many people, so multiple tunnels must be built in parallel. Considering the safety zone and support zone, one tunnel can safely carry about 100 people, so 6,000 tunnels are needed in parallel."
"That makes sense." The lizard man scratched his jaw. "It is indeed a big project. But we only have 10,000 miners in Haoshan... It seems that we can only work in batches."
The miner also told him: "I have a small suggestion. There is actually no food in the food warehouse. It just looks big, but it is actually a storage room. The food is all in Lord Haoshan's place. You may have to adjust your plan. Lord Haoshan's level and body are stronger than most gods. You should think about it carefully."
A trace of pain flashed in Hisoka's vertical pupils, and he held his head with his claws: "Does it mean that we can only have food if we subdue King Haoshan? That's not running away, but rioting and raising an army."
Suddenly someone struck a gong outside.
"Put down the food, put down the food!"
The miners who had been surrounding Hisoka suddenly dispersed and ran towards the food.
Hei Shen watched coldly.
…
Hei Shen asked about the situation of Hisoka and his clan.
The Lizardmen are very proud of this: "We are the descendants of the Queen Mother of the West, the Yilizard Clan. We are united and we keep moving forward to find Kunlun!"
But when it comes to the specific situation, Hisoka starts talking nonsense, saying things like "we were attacked by Nuo monsters", "our army was defeated", "we can evolve into gods", "world destruction", "wandering tribe plan" and so on.
From the fragmentary descriptions, Hei Shen pieced together the situation of this divine race.
The Yilizards were attacked by Nuo monsters, so they had to abandon their original world and go into exile. They wandered and migrated to the place where their god, Queen Mother of the West, was.
This is strange to say.
The gods actually abandoned their descendants in the border area and left them to fend for themselves.
This is rare.
The descendants of gods are different from common followers. They are a high-level race created by gods by consuming a large amount of resources and integrating their own abilities. The descendants of gods are the most reliable attendants of gods and loyal guards who defend the faith and authority of gods.
Hei Shen thought.
Either the Queen Mother of the West looked down on the Yi Xi people and thought they were too weak, so she exiled this tribe to the border area.
Or the Queen Mother of the West placed them in the border zone as a test and trial for them.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Judging from Hisoka's performance, its only ability is to create projections and it has no other use.
This group of gods should not be specialized in combat, but their abilities may be more biased, similar to magicians like Hisoka. Otherwise, they are still a race of gods, and their growth value is huge.
But no matter which case, the same conclusion can be drawn.
That [Queen Mother of the West] possesses unimaginable terrifying power and means.
Whether he exiled the righteous lizards or threw them into the border zone for testing, it showed that he did not care about this branch of the gods, and there were probably many better alternatives.
Thinking of this, Hei Shen couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
He felt a pair of eyes staring at him.
No, absolutely not.
The border zone is a forbidden zone for gods. Even if gods come in person, they cannot use their divine power to control and observe the world from the void.
But the uneasy feeling was so real that it made his hair stand on end.
Hei Shen suddenly discovered that it was Hisoka who was sitting on the ice and peeking at him.
It turns out it’s you, kid!
He was so angry that he threw a piece of ice and hit the lizard man in the face.
"Look at that, get to work!"
…
The most normal time for Hisoka is when he is worshipping God.
It will first create a projection of Kunlun, then point the Queen Mother's Platform (that is, the broken table) towards the direction of Kunlun, and then kneel down to worship there.
At this time, the Lizardman will show a sincere and pure piety.
It was in awe of the unknown God.
Hei Shen did not laugh at Xi Suo. He felt that living in a place like Haoshan, it was a rare thing to still have such hope and faith. It was like a grass growing in a snowy place. Although it was out of tune with the surroundings, it was not bad.
Most of the time, Hei Shen was still wielding a pickaxe and digging stones in the underground mine.
Hisoka also worked very hard and didn't slack off at all.
As we go deeper underground, rock bursts become more frequent, and collapses and burials become more frequent.
Hei Shen and Xi Suo were also hit twice by the explosion, but fortunately they both survived. Because of the [Iron Ring Lock], they had to rescue each other.
Hisoka was worried afterwards: "It seems that to dig through this world, we may need more than 600,000 people. It's not easy to gather people."
Hei Shen was so angry that he laughed.
This kid is still thinking about his escape plan by digging through the world.
Nineteen years passed like this.
One day when mining, Xi Suo waved his pickaxe and panted, "Brother Heisang, I think it might be a little difficult to dig through the underground, so I think there might be a better chance from the sky."
"What do you think?"
Hei Shen stuffed a piece of ice into his mouth and chewed it with a crunch. This is also a false meal substitute for the miners to deceive their mouths and stomachs.
"Just break through the boundary from here and fly straight to Kunlun." Xi Suo said: "The rules of the Haoshan world are seriously damaged. It is not difficult to fly out. There are not so many mining soldiers guarding nearby."
"Good idea. Where are we going if we fly out? Will the Queen Mother of the West send her magic soldiers and apostles to pick us up?" Hei Shen has become accustomed to the lizard people's wild ideas.
"Won't."
Xi Suo suggested: "Is there any chance if we go find the troll?"
“Good idea.”
Hei Shen gave a thumbs up and said, "Are you sure they didn't just puff up our internal organs and eat them with sauce?"
"I don't think so." The lizardman wiped the sweat from his forehead with his pickaxe in his hands. "To be honest, I know a troll friend who can talk to you if you say hello. Not all trolls are so cruel. There are also reasonable ones."
Hei Shen just said, "Are you hungry?"
"Hungry."
"Then hurry up and work. If you don't finish, you won't have anything to eat. If you go too late, you won't have anything to eat either."
"oh."
Black ginseng would not think of this at this time.
Just one year later, without waiting for them to go to heaven to say hello, the trolls came over on their own initiative.
