Everyone was inexplicably surprised by the man's words. They couldn't agree with them and couldn't imagine what kind of hell this place was.

Why are there such weird rules?

A small number of people have begun to integrate themselves into this absurd and crazy world, and are even ecstatic about it, starting to fantasize about exiling themselves in their minds.

The most obvious manifestation is that many people have set their sights on the beautiful women around them.

Desire burned in their eyes like a pack of hungry wolves.

But after all, it is only a minority of people. The vast majority of people are unable to tear off the high-sounding disguise and reveal their ugliest side just because of a few words.

Even though Xiao was like this, there were still many greedy eyes fixed on Luo Feng and Heidi.

It made Luo Feng feel nauseous.

The man continued standing on the platform, "I know some of you can't hold back any longer. After all, none of us are good people.

Before this, you may have been a murderer, a traitor, or a butcher.

He is a top professional who possesses absolute power and can decide life and death.

But here, you are just a newcomer.”

The man talked eloquently, but the look in his eyes when he looked at other people was still full of disgust, just like the way he looked at Luo Feng just now, disgusted with the evil and sinful aura on them.

Speaking in such a densely packed and crowded environment made him feel as if he was standing in the middle of a septic tank, and he almost wanted to vomit out all the food he had eaten the previous night.

“Anyone smart enough would have tried it.

There are no magical elements here, and all magic cannot be performed here, including fighting skills.

This is Greenwell's blind spot, a place where the will of the gods cannot detect. The gods have abandoned you false believers.

The power given to you will also disappear." The man mocked everyone present.

“Even the strength of the flesh will be suppressed here. Even a tenth-rank sword master will be pierced by an ordinary iron spear here.

If you don't believe me, you can try it." There was a hint of teasing in his eyes.

For a moment, some people began to panic. The reason they could stand here and listen to this man speak with calm faces was because they had nothing to fear.

Almost all those who fall into the Black Abyss are professionals, and the minor sins of ordinary people will be ignored by the Black Abyss.

Great power not only means greater responsibility, but also may mean greater sin.

Power and wealth are things that can easily lead people astray. Professionals may kill their companions just for a little bit of profit.

But a farmer would never kill his neighbor in the next field because of two bundles of wheat.

But now all their reliance has suddenly disappeared, and they have become no different from ordinary people.

The panic and uneasiness gradually turned into fear. The crowd became noisy, and when the situation was about to become a mess, the man's "Quiet" immediately suppressed everyone.

The corpse is still placed in the middle of the crowd, with the flowing blood flowing under everyone's feet, and it still has some deterrent effect.

Everyone is like a toothless tiger. The hunter standing on the platform with a shotgun naturally becomes the leader. For him, this is easier than training a group of kittens.

“Okay, the above three rules are the most basic rules in the Black Abyss.

Now you need some time to get familiar with the Black Abyss. We will not provide you with protection, but we will symbolically retaliate against the perpetrators.

Now everyone, come to me to get a pickaxe and go mining.

You should all start from scratch.”

No one went up to take the pickaxe. They all looked at the man holding the pickaxe on the platform, feeling that he was mentally retarded...

Who are all present?

High-level adventurers, nobles, merchants, and even elves!

You actually want a fair-skinned, beautiful elf girl with long legs to go mining with a pickaxe?

Putting aside the question of whether it is a waste of precious things or not, shouldn’t the elves’ delicate and white little hands be used to hold something else?

For example, a magic wand with surging magic power.

Why would you pick up something that rough and heavy?

But the man's next words made everyone frantically scramble for the pickaxes.

"There are more than 150 of you, and there are only 100 pickaxes here. Those who don't have pickaxes must use their hands to complete the same work tasks as others, otherwise they will not have food to eat."

Everyone here is not a fool. They have lost all their martial arts skills, their signals have been cut off, and they are trapped in this dark and haunted place.

There is also an overseer who can crush other people's heads from a distance.

The situation is stronger than people, so we have to submit.

Mining with hands is too miserable. Even if your fingernails are scraped off, it is not as good as a few pickaxes of others.

Everyone was crowding together to scramble for the goods. The platform where the man was standing was hollow underneath, and inside it were a hundred pickaxes.

A group of people who were once superior to others in the outside world now looked ridiculous as they were fighting over a pickaxe and were bleeding.

Luo Feng and Heidi stood at the edge of the corridor, looking at the crowd surrounding the wooden box.

Heidi held one of Luo Feng's arms, stuck to Luo Feng's body and said, "Master...should we go grab some too?"

“……”Luo Feng.

"What are you trying to grab? Let's take a look at the situation first..."

"Oh."

Luo Feng rolled his eyes helplessly. In fact, in this situation, the best thing to do is to blend in with the crowd and not be too conspicuous.

Follow them to grab the pickaxe. It's best to pretend to be stupid. Maybe the pickaxe can be of some use.

But now that she looks like this, it is not clear whether she can get the pick-axe or not, but as long as she dares to squeeze in, there will definitely be people who dare to take advantage of her.

When Luo Feng thought about being taken advantage of by another man, he lost all desire to take action... It's too disgusting.

It's not worth it for a broken pickaxe.

The man jumped down from the wooden box containing the pickaxe, walked around the dense crowd like sardines in a can, and finally came in front of Luo Feng. He coldly threw the pickaxe in his hand to Luo Feng, and then left without looking back.

Leaving behind a confused Luo Feng and a curious Heidi.

Chapter 168 Cold Reading

"Dang, Dang, Dang..."

The sound of metal colliding echoed in the mines of Norda.

A group of people were holding special pickaxes and hitting the hard mine wall, trying to find a small piece of crystal clear ore from it.

You only need to dig up half an ounce of crystal ore to end the day's work, and then use the money you get from the ore to enjoy everything you need at the other end of the tunnel.

This is what everyone expects.

There are noble gentlemen who have just arrived here, dressed neatly and in good spirits; there are also miners dressed in rags, barefoot, with messy hair like weeds, who are still hammering on the cold and hard mine walls day after day and year after year.

It looked like he had no idea how long he had been here.

At first, when everyone learned that if they dug up half an ounce of ore, they could go to the other end of the tunnel to eat and learn more information, their reactions varied.

Some people buried their heads in digging, imitating the others and chiseling the hard stone walls with clumsy gestures, trying to find bits of ore fragments among the broken ore residues.

Some people began to discuss forming alliances with other people who entered this place together, talking about how to restore their strength and how to escape from here.

Luo Feng and Heidi are the third parties among them. Holding a pickaxe, they need to dig a full ounce of ore today, but Luo Feng has been slow to act, and so has Heidi.

In the dark underground, the faint light from the mining lamp illuminated the faces of Luo Feng and Heidi. Although they were covered in dust and looked a little disheveled, their appearance still astonished everyone.

They turned out to be two elves!

Will even the elves be swallowed by the abyss?

Luo Feng didn't care much about such gazes. Instead, he observed the actions of other people along the way and analyzed them quietly in his mind.

Usually in movies there are some amazing abilities called cold reading or profiling, which can get a huge amount of information from the target just by looking at him/her.

It can then infer what the target of observation has done recently, as well as the target's inner state at the moment, and even personal character.

People can lie, but the information obtained through reading will not lie. At least usually no one will disguise themselves so strictly. Disguise is a time-consuming and laborious job, and disguising all day long is what intelligence spies do.

Luo Feng also possesses a similar ability, but she prefers to call this ability micro-observation.

There was surprise in many people's eyes. Although he was dressed neatly, he had a layer of rough calluses on his hands.

It seems that there is not only food at the other end of the corridor, but also enough places to rest and even for entertainment.

But the people who have also been mining here for a long time and have calluses on their hands are dressed in tattered clothes and have a sour smell all over their bodies. It seems no one knows how long they haven't washed.

They look thin, and having a full meal is probably a luxury for them.

But why is this happening?

Luo Feng interpreted different information from different people, but he couldn't understand it using traditional logic at all.

Before she could figure it out, a thin man with a somewhat wretched appearance approached them.

It disrupted her thoughts.

……

Chapter 169 Everyone has their own agenda

Luo Feng held the pickaxe in his hand and looked at the man warily.

The man did not get too close and took the initiative to maintain a distance of about three meters.

With a flattering smile on his face, he rubbed his hands and chuckled, "Elf, this is really rare.

Will the followers of the Goddess of Life also be abandoned?"

"Who are you?" Luo Feng asked without changing his expression.

In the absence of information, she was ready to pry some information out of other people's mouths, but now someone came forward to tell her.

"Dru Cromwell, I was a businessman before this, everyone called me Will." Cromwell did not act like a gentleman and extended his hand to Luo Feng.

Still far away, keeping a safe distance.

"Mr. Will doesn't look like he's living a decent life here." Luo Feng looked at his skinny body and the bald spots on his head.

If he took off his tattered shirt, Luo Feng would definitely see two ribs stuck to pale skin, like the remains of an antelope eaten by a leopard.

Bones attached to skin.

"Hey, it's okay, at least I'm still alive, right?

Many people have even been deprived of their right to live, and may now be lying on the dining table of some ogres."

There was a chill in Cromwell's words.

Luo Feng didn't know whether the ogre was his imagination or real.

But the only thing that is certain is that this place is not safe and everyone may die at any time.

"Could someone do something as absurd as cannibalism?" Luo Feng asked from the side.

“These are nothing.

Beautiful lady, nothing would be surprising here.

Because the people living here are a bunch of hopeless lunatics.

In order to achieve their goals, they have no bottom line.”

Luo Feng thought for a moment and wanted to take the initiative to ask for some very crucial information.

But Cromwell had already spoken first.

He stood there and said, "I came here to tell you two about the rules of this mine.

It is not illegal to kill someone here. If you kill someone, you only need to pay one ounce of ore on the same day to be exempted from responsibility.
