"Hurry up! You losers! Haven't you eaten yet?"
A demon overseer with a leopard head brandished a long whip covered with barbs and whipped a slave who fell down due to lack of physical strength.
"Crack!"
The skin and flesh were torn open, and blood splattered.
The slave screamed, but did not dare to resist at all. He could only struggle to get up, pick up the boulder that almost crushed him, and continue walking up tremblingly.
The surrounding slaves all walked past him with their heads lowered and numb expressions, and no one dared to stop and take a look.
Here, sympathy and pity are the cheapest and most deadly things.
Ye Feng, Gu Tong and others were rudely handed over by Xiang Dali to a person in charge of the construction site - a fat, early-stage Earth Immortal Demon King with a pig's head.
"Xiang Dali, we caught another batch? How are the goods this time?" The pig-headed demon king asked lazily while picking his teeth.
"Humph, they are all soft-legged shrimps from the lower world, nothing decent." Xiang Dali replied angrily, "However, there is a guy with strong bones in there, and he didn't die after being hit by my nose."
Its eyes glanced at Ye Feng with meaning.
Ye Feng immediately showed a "fearful" expression in cooperation, shrank his neck, and hid behind Gu Tong.
"Oh?" The pig-headed demon king looked at Ye Feng with interest, grinned, and showed his yellow teeth, "Interesting, then assign him to the quarry in the East District, which is the most tiring. I want to see how hard his bones are."
In this way, Ye Feng was assigned to a brand new "post."
He did not resist and followed a demon soldier obediently to the so-called "Eastern District Quarry".
This is the most dangerous place in the entire construction site. The mined obsidian heavy gold veins are accompanied by a strong wind called "Bone-eroding Demonic Wind". This kind of wind is invisible and has no quality, but it can penetrate the physical body and directly erode the bone marrow and soul, making people miserable.
Many slaves were either exhausted to death or tortured to death by this bone-eroding demonic wind.
Ye Feng was thrown into a huge mine. The demon soldier threw him a heavy mining pick and ignored him.
The mine was filled with a biting coldness. Even with Ye Feng's God-Demon Prison Suppressing Body, he could feel the cold air trying to get into the seams of his bones.
He looked around and saw dozens of slaves deep in the mine, silently waving mining picks and mechanically tapping the rock wall. Their faces all had an almost lifeless look of defeat.
Ye Feng did not rush to take action, but found an inconspicuous corner and sat down against the rock wall, pretending to be exhausted and in need of rest.
In fact, his spiritual consciousness spread quietly.
The first thing he explored was the Ten Thousand Demons Palace under construction.
As his consciousness deepened, Ye Feng's brows wrinkled slightly.
There is something wrong with this palace.
Its architectural structure is not an ordinary palace style, but an extremely complex formation structure. The placement of every piece of obsidian gold and the engraved runes on every beam contain some profound laws.
"This is not a palace, this is a huge altar..." Ye Feng frowned.
He identified an extremely ancient and evil sacrificial formation from the structure of those runes. The function of this formation is to communicate with a higher level of existence by sacrificing a large amount of flesh, blood and souls of living creatures, or... to refine some kind of taboo object.
And these enslaved human monks are not just coolies.
They are still sacrifices!
When this formation is built, it will be the day when all the slaves are sacrificed in blood.
"It's interesting." The corner of Ye Feng's mouth raised a cold arc, "It seems that this Elephant Demon King has a big plan."
He withdrew his consciousness and his eyes fell on the demon soldiers patrolling back and forth in the mine.
Most of these demon soldiers are cultivators of the Human Immortal Realm. They are responsible for monitoring slaves and preventing them from being lazy or escaping.
Hunting should start from the outermost edge.
Ye Feng's eyes locked on a lone wolf demon.
The wolf demon was leaning on a corner and taking a nap out of boredom.
Ye Feng stood up, picked up the mining pick, and like other slaves, began to walk slowly towards a rock wall. His route happened to pass by the wolf demon.
His steps were very light and did not attract anyone's attention.
The moment he passed by the wolf demon.
The action is reaching its extreme.
He just stretched out his right hand, seemingly casually, and lightly "patted" the wolf demon's back.
A slightly invisible gray aura condensed from the Immortal Corpse Qi and the Law of Destruction followed his palm and silently penetrated into the wolf demon's body.
After doing all this, Ye Feng walked away as if nothing had happened and continued to wield the mining pick, clanging against the rock wall. The sound it made was no different from the slaves around him.
The dozing wolf monster's body shook slightly, as if something was wrong. It opened its eyes and looked around suspiciously, but found nothing.
It only felt that its body seemed to suddenly become a little... weak.
An indescribable air of death is spreading crazily within its body, devouring its vitality and corroding its demonic elixir and soul.
"Uh..."
A painful groan came from the wolf demon's throat. Its skin began to become shriveled and gray at a speed visible to the naked eye. The originally strong body shrank rapidly like a deflated ball in just a few breaths.
Its eyes were filled with endless fear and confusion.
It doesn't know what happened.
It wanted to call for help, but found that it didn't even have the strength to open its mouth.
In the end, without the surrounding slaves and companions being aware of it, this wolf demon from the human fairyland leaned against the corner and quietly turned into a mummy. A gust of bone-eroding evil wind blew by, and the mummy instantly turned into a handful of fly ash and dissipated in the air.
From beginning to end, there was no disturbance.
Ye Feng's face was as calm as ever. Only he knew that a pure energy had been quietly absorbed by the "Jue of the Return of All Things" and integrated into the prototype of his World Heart.
[Ding! Kill the wolf demon in the early stage of the Human Wonderland and obtain Qiankun Points: 1,000,000 points. 】
The long-lost system prompt sounded in his mind.
Ye Feng's heart moved.
It seems that the system followed him to the upper realm, and the rules have not changed.
1,000,000 Qiankun points is not a lot, but mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. More importantly, this proved that his hunting plan was feasible.
In the following time, Ye Feng worked "diligently" in the mine every day. He worked harder than anyone else and won the "appreciation" of the supervisor.
However, every day there will be one or two demon soldiers who mysteriously "disappear" in a corner where no one is paying attention.
