Chapter 319 Purgatory

The mining area is surrounded by iron fences, and mysterious people wearing masks, or holding magic scepters, or wearing weapons, are shouting and cursing.

Under the morning light, teams of naked-chested, strong men, with iron chains on their bodies and purple-gold ore weighing tens of kilograms on their backs, walked past Yun Sheng and the others.

The iron chains and heavy ore crushed their backs to a bloody mess.

But none of them dared to stop, they just walked back and forth mechanically.

"Divide the villagers into two teams according to male and female gender. The old and the young and those who are unable to work are all rushed to the barn, and the rest are taken to the cave," said the mysterious people who brought Yun Sheng and others back.

They separated the captured villagers, and those who could work were detained in caves, and given a certain amount of water and food to replace those miners with high workloads at any time.

The rest who were unable to work were directly driven into the barn and locked up with the looted animals, which would be used as rations for monsters in the future.

However, during the time of being detained in batches, Yun Sheng witnessed several carts of dead bodies being sent out on carts.

There are men and women among them, the youngest of them is only eight or nine years old.

Some of them had their hands broken by the ore, and some were beaten to death because of resistance and escape. This piece of mine, which looks like a lush branch, is actually a purgatory on earth.

Seeing this scene, Liu Zi bit his lips tightly. He didn't know if his parents were still alive.

Whether they were locked in a cave or sent to a barn, they could not escape death in the end.

Yun Sheng believed that even if some villagers were lucky enough to survive in such a harsh environment, once this mine vein was excavated, in order to conceal their evil deeds, these mysterious people would definitely kill all the surviving villagers.

Damn, these people are just devoid of humanity.

Seeing the tragic scenes, the dark magic soul in Yun Sheng's body became active as if smelling blood.

For the first time, such a strong killing intent surged up in Yun Sheng's heart.

She wanted to kill the bunch of beasts in front of her.

When she realized this, Yun Sheng couldn't help being surprised. She used to have excellent self-control, but she found that as she deepened her study of dark magic, her killing intent seemed to be much heavier.

There was also a red light in her eyes.

The three of Yun Sheng, although they are young and not tall, but they are still very strong, so they were quickly selected and rushed to the group of people in the cave.

"You three, what are you looking around for, change your clothes immediately, put on shackles, and follow the queue!" Hearing the order from the mysterious man beside her, Yun Sheng lowered her eyes to conceal the murderous intent in her eyes.

She slowly mobilized the marrow jade kung fu in her body, and as the power of the marrow jade kung fu was running in her body, Yun Sheng felt her killing intent was gradually calmed down, and her eyes also regained clarity.

"Impulse is the devil, no matter what the situation is, you can't let the killing intent control your heart," Yun Sheng warned herself secretly.

The three of them changed into mining uniforms made of coarse hemp, and their feet were also shackled with ten-jin shackles. The three of them were pushed into a long and narrow cave by vicious mysterious people.

At the entrance of the cave, five or six mysterious people were guarding, and there were more than a dozen six-level salamanders. The security was very strict. The cave was dark, damp, and covered with moss.

On the mountain wall, there were only a few magic lamps, dimly illuminating the way ahead.

This group of mysterious people came suddenly, and they dug these caves in a hurry. The conditions here are simple and the caves are very deep.

Yun Sheng walked all the way in, smelling rotten and musty.

"Liu Zi, after you go in later, you should first look for people from Jingkou Village and ask about the specific situation here." Yun Sheng glanced at a corner of the cave, where a few bats were perched.

Liu Zi nodded, his heart was heavier than his shackled feet at the moment, he was afraid that after entering the cave, he would find out the bad news about his parents.

"Liu Zi, be strong," Huang Que, who also came from a poor family, comforted Liu Zi in a low voice.

He nodded.

The six sons already knew that both Yun Sheng and Huang Que were girls, and he was the eldest among the three.

Before setting off, Yun Canglang had encouraged him, as the only boy among the three, he must protect Yun Sheng and Huang Que well.

The cave was very long, and Yun Sheng frowned more and more as he walked all the way.

The living conditions of the miners were too poor.

There are almost no ventilation facilities here. If all the surviving villagers were imprisoned in the cave, it must be quite congested.

When the air is turbid and the population density is high, once a patient or death occurs, the airborne germs are enough to make healthy villagers fall down.

Finally, a human voice came from the front.

The front of the cave gradually opened up.

At the bottom is a space about a hundred square meters in size, where three or four hundred people are detained.

There are men and women among them. Those who do not need to enter the mining area during the day can temporarily remove their handcuffs. Once they leave the cave, they must put on their handcuffs to prevent them from escaping.

"You newcomers, listen clearly one by one, don't try to escape, or these people will be your fate!" The mysterious people who drove them in waved a whip full of thorns in their hands, and slammed it on the ground vigorously.

The hard ground was immediately smashed into rocks, and the stirred up stone chips hit the person's body, causing burning pain.

Their whips were pointed at the wall of the cave, and when everyone looked up, some of the timid ones were frightened and cried out on the spot.

Several dead bodies hung on the mountain wall.

There is a trace of intact bones in these people's bodies, beyond recognition.

The men were stripped naked, and the women were also topless. The blood on their bodies had dried, leaving only wrinkled skin, and the human form could barely be seen.

These people are all people who tried to escape when the guards were not paying attention in the past days when they were digging.

None of them escaped successfully. After they were captured alive, they ended up like this.

But even so, many people still try to escape every day.

After a few words of warning, those mysterious people left the cave.

Liu Zi suppressed the nausea in his throat, and hurriedly searched for his parents in the crowd.

Although the chance is very small, the six sons still hope that he can find his parents.

Most of the villagers imprisoned in the cave have yellow and emaciated faces and chapped lips.

Their eyes were empty, and they didn't make any sound when they saw a newcomer coming in.

For them, escaping has become an extravagant hope, and the death of their relatives has completely destroyed their hope.

Or they are just like the walking dead.

Liu Zi looked around in the crowd, and he found a few people from Jingkou Village, but no matter how much he asked, those people would not speak.

He was worried about his parents, who had already encountered misfortune.

"Liu Zi, don't ask any more questions." Seeing that Liu Zi was about to collapse, Yun Sheng dragged him aside, poured him a few sips of water, and then Liu Zi calmed down.

At this time, there were footsteps outside.

Yun Sheng and the others looked up and saw thirty or forty miners walking in with bare shirts and bare feet.

They all looked tired. These people were the miners who had completed the mining task today. After they returned to the cave, another group of people were driven out.

"Father," Liu Zi recognized one of the men, and he immediately jumped up and rushed over.
