A million miles west of Liang Zhu City, Tusk Basin …
Countless dark-green mountains reached into the clouds, looking like fangs of wild wolves, surrounding a fertile plain in the middle of the basin. Because too many magic crystal and heavy metal mines were buried underground, the magnetic force in this area was amazingly strong.
A magnetic storm would happen almost every day. Every time a magnetic storm erupted, one could see five-colored streams of light rising straight into the sky through the fang-shaped mountains around the basin, exploding in the clouds and forming dragon-like electric bolts, dazzling in all directions.
Occasionally, a few electric bolts would strike down and land on the mountains. The mountains, which had been ravaged by electric bolts for countless years, would glow with a dazzling light, and the small area struck by the electric bolts would turn glowing red. After a long while, the temperature would gradually cool down, and the color of the mountains would return to normal.
A large number of crystal discs were hovering among the mountains of tusks like butterflies flying among flowers.
Dark-kind slave warriors were holding all kinds of crystal weapons and wearing flexible leather armors that could block electric bolts. They carefully squatted on the crystal plates, curled up their bodies, and carefully reached out half of their heads from the edge of the plate, vigilantly looking around.
Tusk Basin was an extremely important mine in Liang Zhu City. After tens of thousands of years of crazy mining, the amount of magic crystals and precious metals produced in Tusk Basin had been growing larger and larger. The deeper underground the mine was, the richer the mineral veins would be, and the more amazing the reserves would be.
Before, Tusk Basin belonged to a small Flow Moon family, but as the reserves in Tusk Basin grew larger and larger, this small family disappeared. By now, Tusk Basin was the public property of the highest council of elders of Yu Dynasty, jointly owned by the twelve families in power.
The underground mine in Tusk Basin was enormous, like an enormous underground kingdom. Hundreds of millions of human slaves lived in the mine, working hard for the non-humankind, and crazily exploiting all resources they could find.
Some of these human slaves had been living underground for thousands of years. They had already forgotten the glory of the humankind, and the origin of the humankind. Their minds were empty, and except for giving birth and mining, they had no other consciousness.
However, some human slaves were newly brought in, and many of them were strong warriors from small and medium-sized clans. These people were all wild and unruly. Although they were good at working, and were ten times, even a hundred times better than those brainwashed human slaves, the troubles they caused were hundreds, even thousands of times greater than those brainwashed human slaves.
Therefore, a large-scale non-humankind army was stationed in the Tusk Basin, ready to suppress the agitated human slaves at any time.
Every day, a large number of dark-kind slave soldiers patrolled in the sky on crystal discs that were specially designed for the Tusk Basin, in case the slaves who might escape from the mines.
"Damn the weather!" The leader of a group of dark-kind slave warriors on patrol looked at the colorful light beams that kept striking into the sky along the mountain. Subconsciously, he cursed. Although the discs and weapons in his hands were made of special crystals, they did not have a strong attraction to electricity like metal. Nevertheless, if one was struck by an ignorant electric current, the result would still be worrying.
Dark-kind slave warriors weren't so valuable. Their leather armors, which were used to fend against electric currents, had been deducted a lot by those Yu Clan masters. Before, these armors could withstand tens of electric currents without being damaged, but in recent years, a single electric current could easily turn a dark-kind slave warrior into coal.
"We can't live like this anymore! We're not even as good as those slaves! These years, their lives have been getting better and better! "The dark-kind slave warrior leader murmured in jealousy.
Followed by a series of cracking noise, tens of water-tank-thick thunderbolts descended from the sky. Over ten crystal discs, which gathered together, immediately fled away. Even though they fled fast, a crystal disc with ten dark-kind slave warriors on it was still struck by a thunderbolt.
Following shrill howls, the ten dark-kind slave warriors leaped up from the crystal disc while puffing dense black smoke, waving their arms and falling to the ground.
"They are doomed!" The dark-kind slave warrior leader wailed in despair.
Just like that, the ten dark-kind slave warriors were severely wounded and on the verge of death by a violent thunderbolt. However, after a dazzling bolt of lightning flashed across the crystal disc they were riding on, it continued to float in the air, completely unharmed.
It seemed that in the hearts of Yu Clan masters, these armors were far more valuable than dark-kind slave warriors. The lightning protection measures of this crystal plate, which was struck by lightning bolts, were much better than those of these lowly dark-kind slave warriors.
Bolts of lightning struck down one after another, while the crystal plate dodged desperately in the lightning bolts. By the time this sudden wave of lightning disappeared, the ten poor dark-kind slave warriors had already fallen to the ground from thousands of meters high in the sky. Sharp rocks pierced them into pieces, and their bodies were already hard as corpses.
The dark-kind slave warrior leader sadly controlled the crystal plate and drifted down from the sky. He leaped down from the ground, came to the ten dead warriors, and cursed in a low voice, "Dishi Yu Jin, that bloody stingy, greedy bastard! He was willing to let those human slaves eat meat, but he took money from our armors over and over again … When will a thunderbolt strike him to death, and replace him with a sane mine manager!"
Dishi Jin was wearing a luxurious long robe. Guarded by a troop of Jia Clan warriors, he proudly walked quickly in the broad mine.
He was called Dishi Yu Jin by the dark-kind slave warrior leader. He had this nickname because of his crazy interest in jade coins, and all kinds of wealth. After he was appointed as the mine manager by the highest council of elders, and was in charge of the overall work in Tusk Basin, he developed his little interest to a crazy degree.
The living standards of non-humankind warriors who were responsible for guarding the mine had been plummeting, and their daily benefits were reduced to an extreme point. Even their armors had become low-quality ones. Dishi Jin had been racking his brains to find ways to take money from these warriors.
However, he was nice to those human slaves in the mine. Compared to the previous managers of the mine, Dishi Jin treated these human slaves with the warmth of a parent. The slave leaders who had always flattered him and were close to him, or the slaves who worked hard, would all be rewarded by him. Good wine, good meat, and some other benefits that slaves shouldn't have, he would generously give them.
Dishi Jin walked through the mine one after another. Along the way, countless human slaves politely bowed to him the moment they saw him. Dishi Jin smilingly nodded to these slaves and said, "Everyone, don't be so polite. Stand up, stand up, no need to salute. We worship the same Master Shifu, and we're brothers and sisters. Don't be so polite!"
Dishi Jin laughed happily. When he laughed, a faintly visible lotus had been spinning slowly in the depths of each of his three eyes.
