C702 Wang Hou

"It's time for dinner! Come and get your share, don't snatch it!"

A broken gong voice suddenly sounded outside the stone room, and then a large basket was thrown onto the ground.

After hearing this sound, the eyes of the workers, who were curled up in the corner, became as green as a wolf's. They shot out like electricity, and in less than three seconds, they had snatched all the food in the basket. Then, they retreated back to their own area and wolfed down the food while looking at their surroundings in a defensive manner. This kind of fierce character had already been carved into their bones. This was the law of survival in the mines.

"Another one who isn't even eager to eat. If I can't get another one next time, I might as well starve to death on the way."

The supervisor who sent the food sneered at a direction. He carried the empty basket and left. Only hungry beasts could maintain a higher combat strength. This basket of food was not enough for everyone to eat. Some weak people were destined to starve.

Usually, newbies who had just entered did not understand these things. After a few meals of hunger, they would 'follow the local customs'.

"Uncle, aren't you hungry?" A young and tender voice sounded. Shen Qingfeng slowly opened his eyes and saw a young boy holding half a drumstick in his hand. He was smiling brightly.

The laborers in this stone room were all people with cultivation potential. Their treatment was much better than other stone rooms. Ordinary laborers could only eat coarse bread.

"Here!"

The little boy took out a dirty pancake from his pocket and handed it to Shen Qingfeng. He was different from other laborers. Maybe it was because he was young. His eyes were especially bright. Even in such a harsh environment, he still had some spiritual energy. It was something called hope.

"Thank you."

Shen Qingfeng did not care about the dust on the flatbread. He took the flatbread and ate it while chatting with the little boy. As for the matter of the other party calling him uncle, it was all because his current image was not good.

"What's his name?"

"Wang Hou, our village has a total of three visitors. I am the youngest. What about you?"

"Wang Hou... Good name, I am Shen Qingfeng."

"Uncle Shen, don't be afraid. We will be able to get out very soon. The people above will sometimes come down and pick the best workers to serve as their guards. When I become successful, I will go back to the village to see my parents."

"Are you so sure you will be chosen?"

"Of course. I've already found a perfect-grade Devil Jade this year. If I find three in a year, then I'll have the opportunity to be summoned by the Lord. I'll definitely be able to leave."

...

Shen Qingfeng's hand that was tearing the dough suddenly stopped. He looked deeply at the little boy and did not say anything else.

In certain places, there should not be hope. For example, in this stone room in the mine, the people here were more or less affected by the devil Qi. Not to mention that they had already exhausted part of their life force, just the demon Qi alone would cause them to lose consciousness if it continued to worsen. Falling into the monster...

However, there were some people who burned themselves like the sun. They even tried to motivate other people's hopes. Every day, they loudly proclaimed their lives after leaving this place. This kind of optimistic people... The mortality rate would be higher, because they would go crazy before dawn.

Shen Qingfeng said, "Do the people who work here have their own time?"

"After the mining mission is completed, there will be opportunities to move on the ground. But it is only limited to the mining area. I have never been to the living area of the city. There are many cultivators outside who can fly and escape, I really hope to be like them one day "

"We'll be leaving in three days. Wait for me! When the time comes, I'll give you some unnecessary Devil Jade. It'll definitely help you complete the mission. That way, you won't be punished. "

The drumstick in Wang Hou's hand had already disappeared. It could be seen that his strength was not bad. At least no one paid attention to him and came to fight for food.

"Let's talk inside!"

Shen Qingfeng nodded his head. After eating the flatbread, he continued to meditate. Although the seal of a quasi Emperor was terrifying, it did not destroy his confidence. He continued to cultivate and condensed his magical energy to break the seal.

"You are sleeping again? Don't blame me for not reminding you! The demonic energy here is very chaotic. If you rashly suck it into your body, you will go crazy... "

Wang Hou sized up Shen Qingfeng. He felt that this mysterious place was a place of newbies. He had never seen such a calm person before. Even though he was a prisoner, he felt like he was here to experience life and travel.

However, even though he was young, he had seen a lot of things. Seeing that Shen Qingfeng ignored him, he tactfully did not say anything else.2

Time passed day after day. Other than the fixed meal delivery time every day, the stone room was too quiet. Everyone only fought when they were fighting for food. However, they didn't fight, and usually stopped when it was time.

There was a clear hierarchy here. After interacting with each other for a period of time, they had a rough understanding of each other's strength. Even though the nobles were children, they were able to snatch meat and eat it every time.
