Devourer of the Six Realms

Chapter 174

"Of course!" When the little monkey talked about the emperor, it was like talking about a god, and there was a sense of admiration in his tone. "He's a big shot. If I could meet him, I'd be willing to lose ten years of my life!"

"I didn't expect there to be groupies here..." Jin Xiaokai almost laughed out loud.

"Stop chatting, this is a meal for you, hurry up and go to work!" At this time, the black boy came over with several wooden bowls, and reluctantly stuffed one into Jin Xiaokai's hand. .

Jin Xiaokai looked at the contents of the bowl, and couldn't help feeling sick.

I don't know what it is inside, it's gray and sticky, and there are many round things like frog eggs inside, gurgling and steaming.

"You... just eat this kind of food?" Jin Xiaokai pushed the little monkey beside him and asked in a low voice.

The little monkey was eating deliciously. Hearing Jin Xiaokai's question, he nodded and said, "Of course, otherwise, what else can I eat? Oh, by the way, if you are not used to eating, I still have a piece of dried meat in my house. You can cut some and eat."

Jin Xiaokai thought of the dark dried meat hanging on the wall of the stone house, and felt even more disgusted. He shook his head and said, "Forget it. Well... I'm injured now, and I don't have much appetite to eat. These are still..."

The black boy next to him saw that Jin Xiaokai didn't want to eat it, so he grabbed it and shouted: "You don't want to eat this, don't blame me for not taking care of you!"

The little monkey glared at the black boy, then turned to Jin Xiaokai and said, "You'd better eat something, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on when you go to the mine later."

Jin Xiaokai remembered that there was still some food in his crystal cube, and he was not afraid that he would starve to death, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm really not hungry."

Seeing what he said, the little monkey stopped insisting.

"By the way, where did you come from here? Also, how did you get so seriously injured?" Hei boy asked Jin Xiaokai while eating the food in the bowl.His attitude towards Jin Xiaokai is much better now, it seems that it has something to do with eating too much of Jin Xiaokai's food.

"It seems that the airship I was on crashed, that's why I came here... But I don't remember the specific situation clearly." Jin Xiaokai explained vaguely.

"You are really unlucky." The black boy looked at Jin Xiaokai with a trace of pity in his eyes, and said, "It's not good to crash, but it just happened to fall here... Hmph, life in the collection field is worse than death, I don’t know how many days your body can last.”

Jin Xiaokai has been feeling strange since just now. After thinking for a while, he finally understood and asked: "Why are we young people only in this collection field? There are no adults or other stronger people. Is it?" If it is a mining field that relies on strength to mine, it is a bit strange that there are some thin and thin teenagers.

Hearing Jin Xiaokai's words, everyone fell silent.After a long while, the little monkey said in a low voice: "People in the collection field die very quickly... the older the people, the sooner they die. We young people can last longer, but you can also watch Here we are, all of us are very thin..."

Jin Xiaokai was taken aback, just now he thought that these teenagers were thin because of overwork, but now, it seems that there is something weird about it.

"Damn it, could it be that the energy harvesting field can absorb the vitality of human beings? It's too bad, my life is not long, if it really will be sucked away, I'm afraid I will be the first one to die here... ..." Jin Xiaokai's complexion changed slightly, and he felt uneasy.

"Don't be afraid, you are new here, you can last at least three to five years. The rest... just leave it to fate." The little monkey sighed and shook his head.

Jin Xiaokai looked at the teenagers around him, they seemed to be resigned to their fate, he felt strange, he approached the little monkey and asked in a low voice: "Is there no one who wants to escape?"

The little monkey smiled wryly and said, "Do you think no one has thought about it? But there are a lot of strange beasts in the surrounding forest, and it is said that there are terrifying spirit beasts inside... Anyone who dares to escape inside will be eaten by wild beasts. There are not even bones left, so it is safer in this camp. In fact, this is just a matter of early death or late death, but it is always good to live an extra day."

Jin Xiaoxin felt cold for a while.He never thought that this place would be so dangerous, and it seems that the so-called "Emperor" is not a good thing.

After a hasty meal, all the teenagers in the camp gathered, lined up and walked out along the exit of the camp.The black boy came over to look at Jin Xiaokai, and he was a little surprised: "You can walk now? Such a serious injury didn't even kill you. It's really amazing."

Jin Xiaokai smiled wryly, not knowing what to say.

The black boy patted Jin Xiaokai on the shoulder, and said proudly: "From now on, you boy can hang out with me. With my help, you won't die. Also, just call me Heizi from now on. By the way, I don't know you yet. What's the boy's name?"

"My name is Jin Xiaokai, you can call me Xiaokai."

"Jin Xiaokai? Weird name." Heizi muttered and shook his head. "Let's go, follow me. Be careful, sometimes there will be man-eating beasts on the side of the road, follow the group closely, and don't fall behind." Heizi warned.

Outside the camp is a road that has been opened up. From time to time, some ferocious beasts can be seen on the road. However, there are dozens of teenagers walking here. Ordinary beasts dare not act rashly, but just wait and see from a distance. .

Jin Xiaokai walked in the forest with the team, only felt that the vitality of the world here was extremely abundant, and had even reached a level that could be called "thick", and he couldn't help being surprised and delighted. "Since the vitality of the world is so abundant here, my strength recovery should be much faster. By the way, there is still some earth essence in my crystal cube, and I will take it out to absorb a little after my body recovers!"

It's just that it takes a lot of energy to get something out of the crystal cube, and now Jin Xiaokai doesn't have any energy in his body, so he can only stare at the treasure in the crystal cube without any alternative.

After walking for about ten miles, the team came to a dark red canyon.This canyon is extremely narrow, and the rocks inside seem to have been impacted by flowing water. They are very smooth, with yellow horizontal stripes on them.On the cliffs of the canyon, there are densely distributed caves, large and small, and it is unknown how many there are.

At the entrance of many caves, people are already working back and forth.Jin Xiaokai took a closer look and found that those people were all thin boys, but there were also some strong men in golden armor patrolling back and forth. It seemed that they should be the supervisors here.

"How many people are collecting crystals here?" Jin Xiaokai asked the little monkey beside him in a low voice.

The little monkey looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them, so he said: "There are at least a few thousand people, and we don't know the exact number. Other groups live in other camps, and it is said that there are many groups."

"Be good." Jin Xiaokai was surprised, he never thought that this so-called energy harvesting field would have such a large scale.

The team that Jin Xiaokai was in climbed up the cliff and entered one of the caves. It was extremely spacious inside, as tall as two people. There were traces of crystal light shining in the cave wall, and the spar inlaid inside could be vaguely seen.

There are many tools such as shovels and picks placed against the wall in the cave, and more than a dozen large boxes are piled up, containing some spars of varying quality.Jin Xiaokai just glanced at it for a while, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart—the quality of these crystals is really bad, even the ordinary crystals he bought in Magic Stone Port can't compare, they can be called It must be some defective products.

"No, is that emperor so blind? Even want this kind of stuff?" Jin Xiaokai was a little puzzled, thinking that things should not be so simple.

At this time, Heizi came to Jin Xiaokai, handed him a pickaxe and said, "You are still injured, just follow me, and you can do less work." After a pause, he said: "Here There are also some rules to tell you. In fact, we are not just digging spar. If you come across some eggs that seem to be sealed in the spar while digging, you must hand them in immediately, otherwise we may The whole team is going to die in the hole."

Jin Xiaoxin moved and asked, "Egg? What is that? Why do we die?"

Heizi shook his head and said, "How do I know so much? It's just that it's what the higher-ups need, and we just need to hand it in."

Jin Xiaokai nodded and didn't ask any further questions.He knew that there should be many secrets hidden in it, but it is estimated that Heizi is unlikely to understand these.

Heizi and Little Monkey explained to Jin Xiaokai the precautions when digging crystals, and Jin Xiaokai discovered that in this Qin entropy space, the quality of the crystals containing energy is extremely poor—— The ones they have unearthed are already considered "good things" of medium quality!

In addition to being surprised, Jin Xiaokai couldn't help but be extremely happy: "This is not bad, it happens that I still have some spars bought from Magic Stone Port in my crystal cube... By the way, there are still a few boxes from that store. The 'Yellow Lu Stone' stolen from the store is a top-notch product, and when I have the ability to open the crystal cube, I can take a few pieces out for business."
