Chapter 484: Unyielding Spirit
The little girl who led the way pointed to the front, where they lived.
Live?
To be precise, this word cannot be used.
In front of Jiang Tian, the environment they lived in was not even as good as a pigsty.
They just dug out a place that could barely be called a place to live along the wall of the mine in front of them.
There was some hay on the ground.
Many human beings were crowded in that place, lying on the ground to rest and sleep.
These people heard the noise and turned their heads to see Jiang Tian and the elite captain beside him.
Seeing Jiang Tian and others coming over, they immediately crawled on the ground and dared not move.
"Nuan'er..." Among them, an old man in complete clothes called softly.
He saw his granddaughter coming back with people, still wearing complete clothes.
Jiang Tian walked inside. He looked at the surroundings and knew that this group of human beings were kept here.
But there was no peculiar smell as imagined, but it was very clean.
Looking at these people again, although they were crawling, the light in their eyes did not dissipate.
Jiang Tian had strong eyesight. Even though it was very dark here, he could still see the words engraved on the deep mountain wall.
The words seemed to be a kind of primer, used to teach words and understand reason.
At this moment, Jiang Tian understood that even if they were kept in captivity and used as food.
The fire in the hearts of these human beings was not extinguished, and the light of civilization was still blooming in this dark underground.
The unyielding spirit and will still exist.
"I am not a herdsman, not from a big city." Jiang Tian spoke again.
His words made these people look up unexpectedly and look at him.
Jiang Tian spoke again: "I am a human from Tang Country, graduated from Hongwu Martial Arts University, and this time I am leading the team to explore this secret realm of the mountains."
On the side, the elite captain who followed also spoke: "My name is Li Zhongguo, the battalion commander of the 28th Battalion of the 7586th Regiment of the Human Regular Army, a member of the Secret Realm Exploration Team, and the captain of the temporary escort elite team."
The two introduced themselves very simply and reported their family background, which was of great significance.
Almost immediately after hearing what the two said, the old man holding his granddaughter trembled slightly and looked at the two carefully.
"It's really different, different." The old man murmured, looking at Jiang Tian and Li Zhongguo with a trembling tone.
He stepped forward carefully, his steps paused.
When he came to Jiang Tian, he found that the other party was just looking at him solemnly.
He could be sure that the Jiang Tian in front of him was different.
If it wasn't someone from the big city who came to deceive them, the look in his eyes would be different.
If it was someone from the big city, if it was that group of herdsmen, they would be very disgusted.
The old man took a deep breath: "We are just food, slaves, and we don't deserve names."
"But secretly, we gave ourselves names."
"I am Liu Pan, that's my granddaughter Liu Nuan."
After Liu Pan spoke, the others also stood up.
But the look was still cautious, with a little bit of exploration.
Liu Pan ushered Jiang Tian and others in.
Jiang Tian didn't despise him, and sat down directly on the ground.
After sitting down, Jiang Tian took the initiative to speak and explained the reason for their arrival.
Being honest with the other party is also to gain the other party's trust.
Now time is pressing, and being in such a strange place requires simplicity and clarity.
After listening to Jiang Tian's words, Liu Pan and others were very surprised, and their faces showed joy.
If so, the appearance of Jiang Tian and others is a great help.
Liu Pan slowly opened his mouth again and described their situation: "This Lord Jiang, our situation is as you can see."
"Our group of human race has become the food, slaves or tools of the Tian clan."
"But we did not give up, we have always maintained civilization and resisted secretly."
"Where there is resistance, there will naturally be obedience. The big city here is inhabited by human races who obey the Tian clan and become herdsmen."
"These human scums, herding their own people on behalf of the Tian clan, are extremely despicable."
When Liu Pan said this, he gently stroked the head of his granddaughter Liu Nuan beside him: "Her parents went far away, and now they are the leaders of the resistance forces."
"Now I don't know whether they are dead or alive."
Jiang Tian also had a preliminary understanding of this.
The human race was kept in captivity, but it was not extremely miserable, and the fire of civilization was still maintained.
Mainly reduced to food, the human race still showed its value.
Therefore, the human race was often used as a slave tool, and eating was not a daily situation.
However, Jiang Tian also learned that the Tian Clan devoured the human race for the same spirituality.
The primate of the hundred races has become a tonic.
There are more details, Jiang Tian asked Liu Pan not to say more.
He mainly asked about the situation in the mine: "What exactly is this place, and how many humans are there?"
In response to Jiang Tian's question, Liu Pan said: "This used to be a mine belonging to our human race, mainly mining black stone ore."
"This black stone ore is extremely hard and was used to forge weapons in the past. Now it is occupied by these wool-tailed rat beasts."
"The wool-tailed rat beasts are supervisors, responsible for supervising our group of humans to grow jade rice, mine black stone ore, and refine weapons."
"These wool-tailed rat beasts are not very intelligent, but they are more in charge. Unlike some places, the human race will have a worse life."
"I really don't know how many humans there are in the entire mine, but there are millions."
Jiang Tian was a little surprised when he heard this.
Li Zhongguo on the side couldn't help but: "So many people?"
As he said, he looked at the other human beings around him.
These human beings are well-proportioned and not thin at all. I'm afraid they have enough nutrition on weekdays.
Even in terms of realm aura, they are almost at level 2.
Li Zhongguo said: "What do you usually eat with so many people?"
Liu Pan pointed to the corner, where there was a lot of jade spirit rice piled up, as white as jade.
According to Liu Pan, they grow this and naturally eat this.
They just need to supply enough jade spirit rice on time.
They won't be hungry, because the human beings that the Celestial Clan wants to eat like them, who are white and fat.
The thin human beings don't taste good for the Celestial Clan.
Jiang Tian asked again, how many wool-tailed rat beasts are there in this mine.
Liu Pan shook his head: "I don't know the exact number, but there are not as many as our human race."
"In our area, there are about a thousand people, and there are probably only those fur-tailed rat beasts outside to guard it."
Jiang Tian thought back, the fur-tailed rat beasts he had killed before were probably only dozens in number, not many.
It can't be said that this group of human races have the advantage of numbers and don't resist. After all, many of those fur-tailed rat beasts are level 5.
There are even two fur-tailed rat beasts that are level 6.
The group of human races in front of them are not worth mentioning at all. If they dare to resist, they will probably be wiped out in an instant.
After understanding the general situation, Jiang Tian also had an idea in his mind.
Finally, he had another question.
