After Li Gui left, Luo Kai was both nervous and excited. He picked up a metal drill from the ground and thought for a while before putting it down. After they finished their work, they had to hand in all the tools. If they lost them, they would be whipped and locked up.
Just as Luo Kai was thinking about what weapon to look for, Thirteen suddenly said, "Xiao Kai, gather with the prisoners tomorrow and don't get involved in anything."
"What's wrong?" Luo Kai was puzzled.
Thirteen's face was very serious. "There might be a big mess tomorrow. I can't guarantee my survival. You're still young. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Don't get involved."
Luo Kai said anxiously, "I've learned the fighting skills you taught me. Although I can't fight, I should be able to protect myself...
Thirteen waved his hand and interrupted Luo Kai's words. He pointed at the guard tower not far away and said, "Don't underestimate these guards. If I'm not wrong, the prison must have known about this long ago!"
Luo Kai was shocked. "Then why didn't they do anything?"
Thirteen said coldly, "Because they want to completely control the prisoners here. They even want to train the prisoners here into elite soldiers!
Do you really think that the warden of the Three-Eyed Race is only here for this small iron mine?
Hmph, there are almost three thousand prisoners and guards in South Tooth Island Prison. If they are trained into soldiers, the transport ships at the dock can be modified into a large fleet! "
"Then is the warden of the Three-Eyed Race planning to rebel?" Luo Kai didn't understand the human countries in this world.
"He wouldn't dare to rebel. As far as I know, Star Horse's Military Division is extremely famous. However, the various feudal lords are in a state of chaos right now. There are ferocious beasts on the outside, and the large merchant groups and farm owners have raised a large number of private soldiers. They have never respected the orders of the feudal lords and are constantly fighting among themselves.
I think the warden wants to train his soldiers to be independent. South Tooth Island is close to the sea, and not far from there is the Shattered Stars Islands. That is the base camp of the pirates. He only needs to say that the pirates are a threat, and he can openly train the prisoners to attack and defend. "
"How did you know?"
Thirteen pointed at his ears and said, "I heard some and saw some. The group of war criminals in front of us are not prisoners at all. They are instructors who are in charge of training prisoners!
Tomorrow, they will probably use this as an excuse to eliminate all the original leaders among the prisoners and force all the prisoners to surrender. "
Luo Kai didn't expect things to be so complicated. "Are you going to participate tomorrow?"
"Li Gui is right. Tomorrow is indeed a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Let's see how it goes!"
Luo Kai frowned and thought for a while, then said, "The prison must want to control the situation with the least cost. They probably won't start a massacre."
"Well, the warden of the Three-Eyed Race will definitely promote a group of prisoners after taking control of the situation and help them get rid of the criminal record. It may not be a bad thing for death row prisoners like us, so you shouldn't get involved. Xiao Kai, you are kind by nature. If you are lucky enough to leave here in the future, find a place to live."
Luo Kai scratched his head. The Living Water Old Man had told him this before. He said softly, "Since we can't change anything, being the private soldiers of the Three-Eyed Race's warden is pretty good. It's better than being a prisoner."
A contemptuous smile flashed across Thirteen's face. His eyes were full of confidence. He smiled disdainfully and said, "I won't be anyone's private soldier!"
…
At night, Luo Kai slid into the tunnel. He planned to dig through the tunnel today and explore outside. Tomorrow's situation was unpredictable. If there was a large-scale riot among the prisoners, the prison would definitely put down a bloody suppression. Once Thirteen got involved, he would definitely be in danger.
After getting along with Thirteen these days, Luo Kai had already regarded him as his first friend in the world.
Sand kept falling down, and traces of moonlight shone down. Luo Kai gently poked his head out to take a look. He was in a barren desert, and behind him was the prison wall. The light from the bonfire in the mine was very bright in the dark. Luo Kai couldn't help but feel excited. Seeing that there was no danger, he slowly climbed out of the tunnel and rushed into the boundless darkness. For a moment, he forgot his purpose for tonight and ran towards the direction of the waves.
Bathing in the free sea breeze, Luo Yang was so excited that he wanted to shout. However, he obviously couldn't do that now. He suddenly remembered what he was doing, so he quickly bent down and slowly crawled forward.
No matter how careful Luo Yang was, he still alerted the hunting dogs on the island. A hunting dog with wrinkled fur had already noticed him, but it didn't bark. Instead, it quietly followed him, its pair of eyes emitting a terrifying green light.
Luo Yang also noticed the Shar-Pei hunting dog behind him. He couldn't help but panic. He wasn't afraid of the dog, but he was afraid of its barking. He hurriedly quickened his pace and looked back from time to time.
As the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't bark. This dog didn't just want to bite him, it wanted to eat him!
There were prisoners dying almost every day in the South Tooth Island Prison. The hunting dogs' food was the prisoners' corpses. They could already distinguish the smell of prisoners and jailers. As long as there was a prisoner outside, they would attack without hesitation.
A dark cloud covered the already gloomy moonlight in the sky. The hunting dog seemed to have lost track of him. Just as Luo Kai was about to let down his guard, a pitch-black shadow pounced towards him from behind a rock. It was the Shar-Pei.
Luo Kai instinctively moved his body to the side and threw a punch with his right arm. The Shar-Pei was extremely agile. It turned in midair and actually dodged his punch.
The Shar-Pei retreated a few steps and lay on the ground. It kept growling, its bloodthirsty eyes showing a hint of caution.
Under the moonlight, one could see the hideous scars all over the Shar-Pei's body. Almost all of its fur had fallen off. This was a lone dog that had been ostracized by the pack. No wonder it didn't bark loudly. It seemed like it wanted to enjoy its prey alone.
If it was in his previous life, Luo Kai would have definitely run away. But now, not only was he not afraid, he was even a little excited. He slightly lowered his body and bared his teeth at the Shar-Pei. He rushed forward and threw a punch at it. He had to end the fight quickly before the Shar-Pei barked.
The Shar-Pei also growled and rushed forward, ignoring the fist that was coming at it. It opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth and bit towards Luo Kai's throat. It knew the weakness of humans and was very confident in its wrinkled fur.
"Bang."
Luo Kai's punch hit the Shar-Pei's head first. The force was so great that the Shar-Pei was directly knocked to the side. Unexpectedly, the Shar-Pei turned its body in midair and suddenly accelerated. Its mouth full of sharp teeth instantly appeared in front of Luo Kai's face.
Luo Kai's heart tightened. When the sharp teeth were about to reach his body, he shrugged his right shoulder to meet the Shar-Pei's big mouth.
The Shar-Pei did not hesitate to bite Luo Kai's shoulder. The bite force of dogs was one of the best among all animals. Although this Shar-Pei was old and weak, its bite was still very powerful. Luo Kai groaned, feeling as if his shoulder blade had been bitten to pieces.
This Mighty Dragon Fist was too deceptive. When fighting bare-handed, using the shoulder to meet the enemy was of course no problem. But when fighting with this kind of sharp teeth and claws, using the shoulder to meet the attack was like sending yourself to be bitten!
