"Take it well, these are your tools for work!" Overseer Qiao casually threw over three extremely heavy pickaxes. The pickaxes smashed into the ground, and with a "hu" sound, a raging fire suddenly rose up. Sparks the size of soybeans flew towards the three of them. Li Gan and the other two wanted to dodge, but the fire behind them was even more intense. Just as they took a step back, the fire actually burned their bodies.
They could only endure the soybean-sized sparks.
"Si la!" The sparks fiercely flew, burning their bodies. It was like a sharp arrow piercing through their bodies.
"Ah!!" Li Gan grimaced in pain, Tiege's face was pale, and Wu Yan's face turned green. The three of them did their best to circulate their spirit energy to heal their wounds.
"Be careful, don't burn yourself." Overseer Qiao laughed strangely and hid far away, waving the iron whip in his hand: "This place is very close to the core of the earth. Although the temperature is a bit high, you God Cultivators can endure it. Just now, I just wanted you to understand the environment here. Now, we're officially starting work!"
"Bastard!" Li Gan's face was gloomy. He couldn't help but rub the burns on his body as he said softly.
"That old fart, are you saying bad things about this lord? Let me tell you, in this place, the only way to survive is to be obedient. "Overseer Qiao waved his iron whip and walked towards Li Gan.
"You, how would we dare to say bad things about you!" Wu Yan hurriedly stood in front of Li Gan and pulled him lightly.
"That's good. From now on, the three of you will dig thirty meters wide, thirty meters long, and one meter deep. This is your first round of work. After you finish, this lord will give you food and water. I will also give you an hour of rest. Do it! " Overseer Qiao hugged his iron whip and stood to the side, coldly sizing up Li Gan and the other two. From time to time, he would let out a strange laugh.
Li Gan glared angrily, but he could only glare. Now that he was in someone else's territory, he didn't dare to say anything. He held his pickaxe and silently propped up a body protection spirit art, trying to prevent the sparks from splashing onto his body.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing against stone was deafening. Countless sparks once again splashed onto his body, burning him so much that he grit his teeth. However, upon closer inspection, only a few small pieces of red flint fell from the place where he had just shaved. The force of the rebound, however, sent him flying several meters away, falling into a sea of fire.
"Are you okay?" Wu Yan ran over and helped Li Gan up.
"Ugly freak, this is not the place for you to talk about love. Who told you to slack off?" Overseer Qiao arrived just in time and whipped Wu Yan's back.
Smack!
Wu Yan's shoulder was badly mangled. She was in so much pain that she knelt on the ground. She turned around and stared coldly at Overseer Qiao.
"Ugly freak, you asked for this. Go back to work, or I'll give you two more whips!" Overseer Qiao roared, but the iron whip in his hand didn't fall. After all, he knew that the three in front of him were all Heavenly God experts.
"Bastard!" Wu Yan suddenly stood up from the ground.
"It's okay, it's okay. I can do it." Li Gan grabbed Wu Yan. The two looked at each other and nodded again. Li Gan dragged his pickaxe and walked back. He silently circulated his spirit energy and once again dug into the ground.
Clang! Sparks flew again. This time, under Li Gan's full force strike, a crack finally appeared in the ground. However, Li Gan's hands were bleeding from the impact of the hard ground.
"Maybe this is the tempering of Divine Cultivators! We just need to use it as an opportunity to train our bodies! "Tie Ge walked over with the pickaxe in his hand. He raised the pickaxe in his hand and slammed it into the ground.
Boom!
The ground trembled, sparks flew, and ores tumbled. Li Gan looked down and saw that the ground, which was as hard as steel, had actually been blasted into a bowl-sized hole by this brat.
"Good strength!" Li Gan couldn't help but praise. Wu Yan also secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Even Overseer Qiao was shocked by Tiege's performance. He was slightly stunned: "Big guy, not bad. Good luck!"
Tiege turned around and looked at Overseer Qiao, then looked at the small hole in the ground. He shook his head. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with his performance.
"You two, why aren't you working for me? If you're still standing there, I'll be serious with you! "Overseer Qiao used his strength to strike the iron whip. Pa, pa. The unique sound of the iron whip made one's scalp tingle.
"Yes, this is training." Li Gan nodded at Tiege. He took a deep breath and raised his pickaxe according to the Nine Heavy Slash. He suddenly swung it three times and struck the ground.
Boom!
Finally, under Li Gan's full force strike, a palm-sized flint fell to the ground.
"Wu Yan, let's go together!!"
Boom, boom, boom …
The two of them treated this job as a way to gain insight into the mystique. Li Gan, on the other hand, had displayed the Li Family's Nine Stacks Slash to its fullest extent. Now, he was starting to aim for the fourth level.
However, because Li Gan's body was too weak, after this crazy squandering, he finally fell to the ground in exhaustion.
"Old fart, you want to slack off? Why aren't you working for me?! " Overseer Qiao shouted and rushed over. He raised the iron whip in his hand and repeatedly struck Li Gan's back. Immediately, his flesh was lacerated and blood splattered everywhere.
"Ah!!" Li Gan was in so much pain that his whole body trembled. He gave Wu Yan a look that warned him not to act rashly. He gritted his teeth and endured.
He didn't want others to suffer, but he didn't want his body to be unable to withstand the damage. However, the powerful recovery ability of the Xuanyou Secret Tome quickly healed the injuries on his body. Although he suffered a beating, he finally recovered some strength.
However, Wu Yan's situation made Li Gan shake his head. Because Wu Yan's injuries had not healed, the spiritual energy in his dantian could only barely support a protective spiritual barrier to avoid the sparks. After mining for a full hour, he didn't even break the ground.
This kind of cowardly performance made Overseer Qiao very dissatisfied. He was furious and repeatedly struck her with his iron whip. At this time, her flesh was lacerated.
Tiege was a Heavenly God Stage powerhouse. Apart from cultivating a special divine ability, his spiritual energy was basically at its peak. Therefore, his progress was quite good. He had already dug more than a meter.
Looking at Li Gan, he had only dug a few feet. Wu Yan hadn't moved at all. Overseer Qiao had long regarded these two as the focus of his work. He stared at them and beat them over and over again.
"Come, I'll help you!" Tiege saw that the two were really pitiful and walked over.
"Brat, are you looking for death? Get back to work!" Overseer Qiao once again reacted in time and struck Tiege's back with his iron whip. Now, he finally understood. This old fart and that ugly bastard were useless. What Heavenly God Stage powerhouses? They were clearly trash. It was better to kill them early and exchange them for two strong slaves.
Li Gang and Wu Yan encouraged each other with their eyes over and over again. They silently endured the beating and secretly told themselves that they must be strong.
This was a tempering and a test. The two of them encouraged each other while using different methods to temper their wills and bodies.
The slaves who were able to mine in this purgatory were definitely Heavenly God Stage powerhouses. If they walked out of Giant-Rock Ridge, with their amazing strength, they would definitely be exchanged for countless glory. However, if they fell here, they could only be slaves who had lost their freedom.
This was also something that couldn't be helped. As Giant-Rock Ridge continued to dig, the closer it was to the core of the earth, the harder the rock became. Above three thousand meters, ordinary slaves could still mine without using force. However, below ten thousand meters, only Heavenly God Stage powerhouses could mine. Below twenty thousand meters, only Heavenly God Stage powerhouses could mine.
However, the closer the ore was to the core of the earth, the higher the purity and the better the quality, the higher the price on the market. It was this kind of income that inspired the mine owners to continue to dig.
In this purgatory, the slaves used their own blood and lives to sing the sad song of life.
Other than having to endure the unbearable depth of the earth fire, they also had to endure the beating of the overseer.
Death, in this purgatory, was playing out at every moment!
Li Gan was in it, making him feel the sorrow and pity of life.
To a God Stage cultivator, if they were to dig a thirty meter area, it would feel easy and easy. However, in this mine that was harder than steel, Li Gan dug for an entire day and night before he finished.
The deeper he went, the more difficult it became. How was this mining? It was clearly chiseling through steel!
In this day and night, Li Gan couldn't remember how many times he had slashed out the Nine Heavy Slash. He only remembered that he had been whipped three thousand seven hundred and twenty times by Overseer Qiao! These three thousand whips had broken his bones many times. Countless times, he had fainted and been woken up by the pain.
His weak body couldn't withstand such intense physical labor. After he finished his work, Li Gan fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.
Wu Yan was slightly better than Li Gan, but she didn't have the Xuanyou Secret Manual to repair her body. Under the extreme lack of spirit energy, she directly fainted on the ground. Her body was dripping with blood, and there wasn't a single inch of her body that was intact.
With these two people as the focus, Overseer Qiao didn't care about Tiege at all. He only went over to take a look occasionally. The majority of his time was spent on Li Gang and Wu Yan.
"Now you have an hour to rest. You better hurry up and absorb the spirit energy here. Otherwise … hehe …" Overseer Qiao looked at Li Gang and Wu Yan and laughed strangely. He waved the iron whip in his hand and gave a final warning.
"Hurry up and eat. We need to absorb the spirit energy in every minute. Otherwise, you won't be able to defeat anyone in the next round." Tiege tore open the roast meat given by Overseer Qiao and filled it with Li Gang and Wu Yan.
Although the environment here was harsh, the roast meat tasted really good. Perhaps this was to ensure that the slaves had more strength to mine!
Li Gang and Wu Yan swallowed the roast meat with all their strength. When the roast meat entered their stomachs, they finally had some strength. The two struggled to sit up.
"Come, listen to me!" Tiege leaned the two on his broad back. "Hurry up and absorb the spirit energy!"
"Brother, you are very loyal!" Li Gan nodded with a bitter smile.
"Time is limited!" Tiege glared at Li Gan, but turned his head away. The corner of his mouth finally showed a sweet smile. "Perhaps this is a brother in tribulation!"
"Yes, definitely a brother in tribulation!"
