The Little Blue Dragon returned to Yang Tian's shoulder gloomily. The man in black's contempt just now made it very angry.
Staring at the back of the man in black, the Little Blue Dragon's eyes were about to spit fire.
But now it could only endure!
With its and Yang Tian's current strength, it was simply not a match for the man in black.
Now for Yang Tian and the Little Blue Dragon, it was more important to save their lives for the time being. They could only take one step at a time.
The man in black took Yang Tian to an aircraft and locked him and the Little Blue Dragon in a dark cabin.
This was a very simple aircraft. It was less than twenty meters long and had a flat triangular shape. The interior space was very narrow. After being locked in the cabin, the air became stuffy.
When the aircraft moved, it made a rumbling noise as if it was going to fall apart at any time.
After a few minutes, Yang Tian felt the aircraft leave the ground and fly into the air.
Yang Tian was very nervous. Ever since he became a warrior, he had never felt so helpless. He once again experienced the feeling of being a weakling.
This feeling was very uncomfortable. He could not help but think of what the man in black said to him …
About half an hour later, the aircraft finally landed on the ground.
A few minutes later, the cabin door opened and harsh light shone into the dark cabin.
"¥¥# @ …"
Then, a burst of curses entered Yang Tian's ears.
Although he did not understand, Yang Tian knew that the man in black wanted him to get out immediately.
After jumping from the cabin to the ground, Yang Tian did not have time to react. A silver-white metal collar appeared on his neck and automatically tightened, causing Yang Tian to feel tight.
Fortunately, this kind of thing could be adjusted automatically. After tightening, it loosened a little.
"Cough cough …"
Yang Tian, who had not fully recovered from his injuries, felt better after coughing for a while.
At this moment, he saw a middle-aged man in yellow handing over a fist-sized black cloth bag to the young man in black.
The black-clothed young man opened the bag and took a look. He then used his hand to gently pinch it a few times. After nodding with satisfaction, he returned to the spaceship.
Seeing this, Yang Tian touched the collar on his neck, knowing that he had been sold by the young man in black.
"¥¥# @ …"
After the black-clothed young man left, the middle-aged man said a few words to Yang Tian before turning around and leaving.
Even though they didn't know what the middle-aged man was talking about, they could only obediently follow behind him …
More than 30 days later.
"Yang Tian, how's your mission for this cycle coming along?"
A stooped old man in tattered clothes walked over and asked with a smile. He also had a silver necklace around his neck.
"It's done," Yang Tian replied with a smile.
Having been in this world for more than 30 days, Yang Tian had already learned the language and writing of this world.
The reason why he was so fast was all thanks to this old man called Bai Song.
"This …" Hearing Yang Tian's words, Bai Song chuckled and rubbed his hands.
Yang Tian understood Bai Song's meaning and handed a bag of 'Louse Crystal' granules to Bai Song.
After Bai Song took it, he chuckled and scratched his head in a simple and honest manner.
Little Blue Dragon saw this from the side and its eyes were full of disdain.
In its opinion, this old man came over every day to freeload. It helped Yang Tian collect Louse Crystals and at least gave half of it to this old man.
If it wasn't for Yang Tian saving Bai Song when he first came, Bai Song would have died in the mine.
Yang Tian was now in a Louse Crystal mine.
Louse Crystals in this world were equivalent to the Stellar Crystals in Yang Tian's original world.
Louse Crystals were light purple crystals that contained a large amount of energy. It could be directly absorbed by cultivators to increase the energy in their bodies.
However, to absorb the energy of Louse Crystals, one needed a special technique.
In this world, Louse Crystals were also a hard currency. The currency issued by each country was also based on the amount of Louse Crystals.
The mining of Louse Crystals was mainly done manually.
This was because in a large mine, the distribution of Louse Crystals was uneven. Sometimes they existed in large patches, sometimes they were scattered far apart. In the ores, they all existed in the form of granules of different sizes.
If a machine was used, the Louse Crystals would be easily destroyed.
Actually, the more important reason was that this world had a powerful machine race. As long as they wanted to, they could invade and control all the machines that were controlled by programs.
Yang Tian and Little Blue Dragon were now in a deep cave in the mine. The light was rather dim.
Every five days or so, Yang Tian and the rest of the miners who wore rune necklaces around their necks would have to hand over the Louse Crystals they mined.
This was because the miners in the mine were not powerful cultivators and did not know how to absorb Louse Crystals. Therefore, as long as they did not leave the mine and handed over the Louse Crystals according to the set amount, they were relatively free in the mine.
However, if they could not complete it, the consequences would be quite serious. If it was light, they would not have any food. If it was heavy, the mine owner would directly detonate the rune necklaces on their necks.
Bai Song had worked here for over a hundred years. Due to the long years of labor, he had long run out of oil. When Yang Tian was brought in by a subordinate of the mine owner, Bai Song was about to die of hunger.
Yang Tian had to share half of his food with Bai Song before Bai Song could be saved.
It was worth mentioning that Yang Tian's storage bracelet, as well as the Insect Brain Pendant, and everything else on him had been taken away. They were temporarily kept in the hands of the mine owner.
Fortunately, the strange program had already been transferred to Yang Tian's brain before the mine owner took away the Insect Brain Pendant.
Moreover, the strange program had also memorized the graphics and words on the scroll.
"It's almost time. Let's go out!" Yang Tian looked at Bai Song's smiling face and said with a smile.
Yang Tian was a very loyal person, and Bai Song was also quite pitiful. When he was young, he was sold to this Louse Mine. He had not been able to leave for a hundred years and had to work until he died.
In fact, this was the fate of most of the miners.
Of course, the family that owned this Louse Mine, in order to give the miners hope and prevent them from rebelling, formulated a reward measure. As long as one could complete the triennial assessment, they could become a 'domestic guard' of the family.
Of course, this assessment was very harsh. There were tens of thousands of miners in the mine. Every three years, less than ten people could pass the assessment.
The content of the assessment was: first, to search for ores and collect as many Louse Crystals as possible within a specified time.
Second, physical fitness, including strength and endurance.
Third, talent for cultivation.
Fourth, whether or not one had any special skills.
The people who were sold or sold to the mines were all very ordinary humans.
Therefore, most of the miners did not have much hope. During the assessment, there were actually very few people who signed up.
Humans were creatures that were easy to get used to. If they stayed in the mine for a long time, it would become a habit. Even if they were asked to leave the mine, they would probably not be willing.
This was just like those prisoners on Earth who had been locked up for decades. Once they were released, they would probably not be happy, but feel confused about the future.
Yang Tian took the Little Blue Dragon and walked in the mine for about half an hour with Bai Song before leaving the mine.
After staying in the mine for a long time, Yang Tian felt that the light was particularly dazzling as soon as he left the mine. It took a few minutes for him to get used to it.
The Little Blue Dragon lying on Yang Tian's shoulder was no exception.
Every time it was due to 'deliver', it was the busiest day in the mine.
Tens of thousands of miners all came out of the mine and lined up in dozens of lines. They passed by a pavilion and handed over the Louse Crystals they collected.
Those who exceeded the quota would receive a bonus.
Miners who received a bonus could spend money in the casino, brothel, restaurant, and other entertainment venues in the mine.
If the mission was not completed, they would not even receive the standard food.
