My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 122 The Only Hope

There are only two hours for eating and resting, and the rest of the time is spent working intensively. If you are lazy or the number of lapis lazuli dug out is not up to the standard, this group of Liu family will not let people eat, they will just change their minds. You can't torture people, make them miserable, and force you to work hard for them.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Xing had already stayed here for seven days. He was physically strong, full of energy and blood, and he was able to adapt to the hardships of the mine, but not necessarily the others.

On the third day, an old man who was over sixty years old, with gray hair and decaying energy and blood, had no strength to work. He rested for a while leaning on his iron hoe, and was immediately discovered by a guard who supervised him. A whip was thrown on the old man's back, and his skin was torn apart, but the old man didn't make a sound, and fell down straight, dying of anger.

As a result of the old man's death, the guard complained cursingly that the old man didn't beat him, and that the amount of lapis lazuli was not up to the requirement every time.

In the end, the steward Xun scolded the guard a few words and ordered the corpse to be carried out and fed to the spirit beast...

On this day, Zhou Xing and the others were repeating their work when the guard with the hooked nose came over and ordered, "From today onwards, the amount of lapis lazuli each of you needs to submit will increase by [-]%!"

"What?" A tall man with a Chinese character face and thick chest hair said angrily, "Your Liu family is too deceitful. You arrested me to work as a coolie when I was not prepared, and now you have to increase it by [-]%. Animals don't do it like that. , I think you will not give us a way out, everyone, stop being slaves to them, and fight out with me!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over. Many people were obviously moved, but they hadn't made up their minds yet. Seeing this, the guard with the hooked nose quickly called a few companions over, waved his whip, and shouted aggressively. : "What are you looking at, hurry up and dig, or I won't beat you to death with my whip!"

Several guards looked fierce, trying to suppress the crowd, but it was counterproductive, and instead aroused the anger and resistance of the crowd. A thin young man aged seventeen or eighteen said with hatred on his face: "You group of demons, Disregarding human life, even my Uncle Ying was beaten to death by you, today I will bite off a piece of meat from you even if I die!"

"That's right, fight them!"

"Fight them!"

……

Facing almost ten times as many opponents, even though the guards were in better condition and stronger individually, they couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.

"You're looking for death!" the guard with a hooked nose yelled sternly, and immediately took out a heavy sword and attacked the big man with a square face—as long as the leader is killed first, the rest will be mobs.

And the big man with a square face also thinks so, to capture the thief first, he is the only one who is in the Tianwu realm, and the other three are only high-level spirit martial arts, and they can be besieged and captured by many people!
The interspatial ring of the big man with a square face had been confiscated a long time ago. Without a weapon, he picked up a column of lapis lazuli beside him and went up to it.

"Dang!" The broadsword of the guard with a hooked nose slashed on the hard lapis lazuli, leaving only a white mark. The two were knocked back at the same time, and they were evenly matched.

"How is it possible?" The hooked-nosed guard showed an unbelievable expression on his face. He is the third level of Tianwu. Mr. Xun clearly said that this guy barely has the strength of Tianwu. He has been digging stone mines here for so long. Has become stronger?

The big man with a square face laughed out of anger and said: "If Liu Yulong hadn't led someone to ambush me when I was not in the right state, if it was a straight fight, I would have killed him a long time ago. The grandson who has been pretending for so long these days, I would have killed him now. Get it all back."

"So what?" The hooked-nosed guard was full of spiritual power, making the big man with a square face ready to fight. Unexpectedly, the next second, he turned around and ran away.

"Exit first, guard the exit of the tunnel, they can't escape!"

"Don't let them run away!" The big man with a square face yelled, calling for the rest to surround him.

But the four guards were already closer to the exit, and their strength and state were also stronger. How could they stop them if they wanted to run.

It is impossible to give up halfway if you have already started, the big man with a square face led the angry crowd to chase out.

Zhou Xing fell at the back, and retreated after entering the tunnel, because he knew that once the narrow tunnel exit was guarded, the possibility of rushing out quickly was very slim, and when Liu Yulong brought people to support him, everything would be in vain.

He is a person who has walked through the gate of hell many times. This kind of thing that is almost impossible to succeed will be done without a fever.

He returned to the distance and continued to dig the corner that he deliberately ignored before, where a light green lapis lazuli about the size of a head and almost round showed its shape—no, it should be colorless, the surface color is just the green azure in it Illusions created by psychic liquid.

The azure liquid is the treasure that warms and nourishes the meridians and speeds up cultivation. A piece of lapis lazuli containing the spiritual liquid may not be born in a lapis lazuli mine. With it, the erosion caused by the accompanying poison in the mine can be eliminated Swept away, and many hidden diseases are likely to be cured without treatment.

Soon, Zhou Xing dug out this piece of colorless lapis lazuli, and picked up a piece of lapis lazuli with sharp edges next to it, and smashed a small gap in the former.

"Fortunately, the texture of lapis lazuli that contains spiritual liquid will become more brittle, otherwise I really can't handle it."

Looking at the emerald green spirit liquid in the stone, a strong desire rose in Zhou Xing's body, and then he lifted it up and drank it all in one gulp!

As soon as the spiritual liquid enters the abdomen, it quickly turns into countless strands of warm energy and swims away, merging into the limbs and bones. The potency of the poison elixir and the gray smoke emitted by the poison are all purified, and the meridians around the body are healed. Fat tenacity, the aura of heaven and earth around him swarmed.

Zhou Xing was overjoyed, no matter how he cultivated after his spiritual root was damaged, he was doing useless work. Judging from the current signs, it seems that his strength can be restored.

The aura enters the body and gallops through the meridians, and then rushes to the dantian, but it is like water flowing over the back of a duck, and immediately escapes between heaven and earth.

Zhou Xing showed a dejected expression. Unwilling to give up, he operated his exercises and took the initiative to absorb spiritual energy, but the situation still did not improve. Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly found that Lei Shu and Lei Dan in his dantian seemed to have a little more luster. The power of Yin and cold has also weakened a little.

"I have recovered to the fifth level of Lingwu!" Zhou Xing was so excited that he almost jumped up. Any progress is something to be happy about, which gave him infinite hope.

While Zhou Xing was messing around inside, the big man with a square face and the others retreated back in embarrassment, as if a few people were missing.

"Stop it, they can block the exit so that we can't rush out, and they can't come in either." The big man with a Chinese character face covered in blood and floating in breath roared.

"The mantis arm is like a car!" A cold snort sounded, and then endless cyan wind blades shot forward, repelling more than a dozen people including the big man with a square face at the same time, and blood flowed all over the ground.

A figure was too fast to be seen clearly, and instantly caught up with the big man with a square face, stepped on him, crushed his chest down, and pressed him to the ground, unable to move.

The big man with a square face vomited blood, and said unwillingly: "I never thought that you, an old man, are actually a high-ranking Tianwu!"

"Get down on the ground for anyone who doesn't want to die!" Liu Yulong followed in angrily, let his guards control the situation, walked to the side of the big man with a square face and squatted down, slapped his mouth and teeth, and vomited again. Spit on him, and cursed: "Aren't you very capable, why are you like a dead dog now?"

"Fuck!" The big man with a square face sprayed Liu Yulong's face full of blood, "If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you!"

"I'm not going to kill him," Liu Yulong said with a smirk, "Uncle Xun, abolish him."

"Yes." Liu Xun, an old man with a goatee, immediately struck, destroying the meridians of the big man's body.

Liu Yulong looked at the other people lying on their stomachs in the mine, and said with a sneer, "You guys..."

As soon as the beginning of the sentence was said, the entire mine suddenly shook, and the trampling sound of "rumbling" came from above.

"What's going on?" Liu Yulong looked at Liu Xun in surprise.

The latter's face was very solemn: "It seems to be a beast tide, and countless spirit beasts have entered the valley to wreak havoc."

"Are you kidding me? Although this place is not far from the Kongsang Mountains, it's not too close either. Moreover, there has never been a wave of beasts hitting here."

"I'll go out and have a look, we should be fine hiding here."

Liu Xun went out immediately, just when he looked out through the entrance of the tunnel, he saw one of his own guards being torn to pieces by a colorful white-fronted tiger.

"Si... Late third stage." Liu Xun was about to see the situation of the entire valley when suddenly a white light flew towards him, carrying a terrifying aura.

Liu Xun turned pale with shock, it was not a white light, but an extremely compressed white flame, which could feel the incomparable scorching heat a few feet away, as if it was about to ignite him.

He pushed forward with both palms, and a solid cyan wind wall formed to block the attack. He heard a "bang", and the white light exploded.

"Shua..." Liu Xun fled immediately, leaving only an afterimage on the spot that was swallowed by the flames.

Seeing Liu Xun running down in a panic, Liu Yulong quickly asked, "Uncle Xun, what's going on outside?"

Liu Xun calmed down and replied: "There are many third-order spirit beasts in the valley, and I saw several of them in the later stage alone. The people outside are probably all dead. Now we have nothing to do but hide here and wait for the beast tide to pass. He can't."

Liu Yulong was helpless, and muttered: "This is a terrible loss."

Just as he was about to turn his attention to the big man with a square face on the ground, screams came from the tunnel. After a while, the screams stopped abruptly, and a broken human head was thrown out of the deep tunnel and landed on the ground. The ground was completely shattered, and brains splashed all over the floor.

Several guards guarding the edge of the tunnel hurriedly retreated to Liu Xun's side, staring at the entrance of the tunnel as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Three-eyed golden-haired monkey in the late stage of the third order!"

Liu Xun looked at the monkey with golden hair and three eyes walking out, his face turned pale. This is a well-known spirit beast, and few monks of the same level can match it.

"Everyone come with me." Liu Xun shouted loudly, as if to embolden himself.

These guards also knew that if they didn't make a move, the three-eyed golden monkey would kill them sooner or later, so they could only overcome their fear, and Qiqi took out their spiritual weapons and charged forward.

"Squeak..." The three-eyed golden-haired monkey scratched its head, then grinned and waved the thick and long bone stick in its hand. A huge stick figure emerged and swept out domineeringly, smashing the two guards rushing forward with one blow. Bolognese.

"Don't be mad!" Liu Xun slashed down the air with two maces in his hand, and at the same time, countless wind blades followed, and there was a sound of piercing through the air.

The three-eyed golden monkey raised its bone stick to block, but turned a blind eye to the wind blade. The vertical eyes between its brows opened, and a golden light pierced through Liu Xun's shoulder blade, which was avoiding the vital point.

Liu Xun let out a muffled snort, suddenly lost strength in his hand, and was hit flying by the bone club.

The three-eyed golden-haired monkey slammed its stick on the ground again, and the ground was torn apart suddenly, causing the ground to crack, making everyone's feet unstable. At the same time, a round of yellow halo rapidly expanded around it, sweeping over a dozen people. Liu family guards.

Numerous guards of the Liu family coughed up blood, and some of their spines were directly shattered, fell to the ground and could not stand up, and even died directly.

Liu Yulong, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was horrified when he saw that so many people joined forces and couldn't deal with a monkey, but was beaten to the ground instead.What's more, he didn't dare to fight at all.

He saw the captured slaves behind him. This group of people had already stood up from the ground, as if watching the battle in front of them with relish.

"You guys, go up and besiege that golden-haired monkey!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one listened to Liu Yulong's orders, who would work hard for a person who captured him as a mining slave?
Liu Yulong was furious, and really wanted to teach these slaves a lesson, but now he had no other power, so he could only hold back his anger and reasoned: "When all of my people die, none of you will survive. After this catastrophe , I promise to give you spirit crystals and let you leave."

As he said that, Liu Yulong took out all the spiritual soldiers from the space ring and threw them in front of everyone, "There is still a chance to survive together, you choose for yourself."

After a moment of hesitation, a dark-skinned man picked up a handful of spiritual weapons, and the rest of them immediately got ready to attack, including Zhou Xing.No one believed Liu Yulong's nonsense, but they had to fight for their lives.

The three-eyed golden monkey repelled the Liu family's guards again, and after a few more corpses were added to the ground, it turned its scarlet eyes to Zhou Xing's side.

It raised the bone stick and poked it forward swiftly, the huge stick shadow crushed like an Optimus Prime, and all the people along the way stuck to the stick shadow and were knocked away.

Zhou Xing hid at the back and had a certain amount of time to react. There was purple lightning lingering under his feet, and he quickly dodged aside, but he was still swept by the spreading shock wave, and his internal organs were damaged.

He took a closer look and saw that several people were smashed into meatloaf by stick shadows poking on the hard rock formation.

Too strong, there is no resistance at all.

A touch of despair emerged in Zhou Xing's heart, how can he fight this?
The others were also frightened, and the spirit weapon in their hands fell to the ground with a "ding dong".

Not long after, the three-eyed golden monkey grabbed Liu Xun's head, crushed it brutally, and walked towards the person hiding behind.

While Zhou Xing looked at the approaching three-eyed golden monkey, he anxiously tried to mobilize the mysterious stone fragments in his dantian. Now he had only this hope.
