C9 The Cold Iron Cage

Rich Mining Center.

This was a place surrounded by spirit mines, with ore mines rising and falling on the east, west, and north sides, forming a sharp contrast with the desolate surroundings of the poor mining areas.

On the south side was a flat road that had been excavated. With a loud boom, a large mechanical spiritual vehicle full of Spirit Stones slowly drove past. The harvest from the recent days was transported to the gathering place of the big shots.

In the center of the mining area, there was a flat open space. There were many simple stone houses standing on it. These stone houses were built with stones. They were neither tall nor big, and could only accommodate a few people.

In comparison, there were only a few buildings that could barely be considered a 'mansion'. They were tall and wide, and there were independent courtyards. However, the materials were still pure stones.

However, such a scenery was a rare place to live in in the mine. At the same time, it was the utopia in the hearts of thousands of slaves.

. . .

At this moment, in a simple stone house in the north, Xiao Yi had been staying here for ten days. His severely injured right arm had completely recovered, but the situation had not changed at all!

After ten days of training, Xiao Yi had been stuck at the bottleneck and could not take the last step. He had accumulated 999 strands of spiritual energy, but the last one had stopped him at the threshold of the First Qi Realm!

The bottleneck, the Shackle, the biggest enemy of a cultivator. Breaking it would welcome the glory of the Great Dao. On the contrary, it would stop forever!

"Where did I make a mistake? Could it be a problem with the cultivation method? " Xiao Yi sat cross-legged in the crude stone house, unable to figure out what had happened.

This stone house originally belonged to Dao Ba and the others, but after their deaths, it became ownerless. Finally, under Boss Jiu's instruction, it was given to Xiao Yi.

"Impossible! The Asura Divine Spell is a complete cultivation technique, and it was also created by a super mighty figure. There can't be any problems!"

"Then. . . What exactly is the problem?" Xiao Yi thought hard for ten days, but he still couldn't give an answer. Seeing that the one month deadline was getting closer and closer, his mood also became more and more agitated.

"No! I can't keep thinking like this! I have to remain calm!"

Xiao Yi desperately grabbed his head and scratched his already messy hair even more messily. Then he stood up and walked out of the house.

This was the northern area of the rich mining area. Boss Jiu was in charge of this area, as well as the east and west regions. They were also under the jurisdiction of the other two chiefs.

The three chiefs were in three different mining areas, and there was no extra territory that allowed the fourth chief to appear. Therefore, Xiao Yi had never believed Boss Jiu's promise.

"There are only twenty days left. Time is of the essence!"

Xiao Yi shook his head with a bitter smile. He thought that one month was more than enough, but he was stuck at a bottleneck. If he could not solve this problem, he would never be able to break through in his lifetime, let alone one month!

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Xiao Yi felt relieved. He could feel two pairs of eyes staring at him from the dark. However, he didn't pay much attention to them. He just kept walking forward.

Without asking, Xiao Yi knew that these two people were definitely spies sent by Boss Jiu. Instead of exposing his sensitive nature to Boss Jiu to raise his guard, he might as well pretend that he didn't know and let them stare at him.

The place where there were people was the Pugilistic World. It was the gathering place for most of the slaves, and it had long been developed. Apart from the stone houses everywhere, there were also many other facilities, such as shops, taverns, gambling dens and even Yanliu Lands.

However, without exception, all of these facilities were secretly set up by the big shots in the upper echelons. As long as there were Spirit Stones, anyone could enter and exit. However, if there were people who did not know what was good for them, There would always be one -

Death without a complete corpse!

"This is the tavern?"

Xiao Yi had been walking aimlessly, trying to calm himself down by relaxing. Before he knew it, he had arrived at the downtown area.

The so-called downtown area was the center of all the different facilities. It was located in the center of the gathering area. It was connected to the east, west, and north districts. It was an independent zone.

At this moment, Xiao Yi was standing in front of a tavern. The tavern didn't have a name, and it was also built with stones. However, it was much taller than ordinary stone houses.

Xiao Yi patted his empty pocket, smiled bitterly, and continued to walk forward.

This place had become a small society. Spirit Stone was the common currency. Without money, one could not even buy something to eat.

Xiao Yi continued walking and soon arrived in front of a very stylish building. This building was the only wooden building in this place. It occupied a large area and was divided into two levels. There were two rows of big red lanterns hanging at the door. A few women with heavy makeup leaned against the door and smiled as they welcomed the visitors.

"Drunk to death. "

Xiao Yi raised his head and looked at the signboard. Four flamboyant and flamboyant words were shining brightly. It was extremely imposing. Regardless of whether it was the decoration or the layout, it all showed that there was an extraordinary big figure behind this place.

"Customer, come in and have some fun. Today is the first day of our lives, and a fresh little girl has arrived. She is just waiting for you to bloom. "

The girls at the door had charming voices that made one's bones go numb. Many of the past slaves' sperm went to their heads and walked in muddle-headed.

At this moment, another group of slaves walked over from afar. Some conversations were also transmitted into Xiao Yi's ears.

"Sixth Brother, I have seen that little girl before. She is very pretty! Especially those big eyes. Tsk tsk! Too beautiful! "

"Yeah! Yes! I've seen that girl before, she's really not bad! It'll definitely be fun to play with her! Sixth Brother, you must take her down. When the time comes, let our brothers have a good time too!"

" Haha! Sixth Brother took action. Who would dare to not give him face? That girl must be Sixth Brother's! Let's just wait and enjoy tonight!"

" Haha!. . . "

Accompanied by a burst of lewd laughter, this group of people walked straight into the main door and they could faintly hear some unbearable conversations.

Xiao Yi originally intended to leave, but at this moment, he was unable to move a single step as if he had taken root in the ground. For some unknown reason, the first thing he thought of was Little Yu, a girl that he hated but was unable to truly let go of!

The reason why people were like humans was because they had flesh and blood, as well as feelings! Xiao Yi hated her, but he couldn't truly be cold-blooded!

Out of the blue, Xiao Yi walked into a drunken stupor with extremely complicated feelings.

As soon as he entered the room, the pungent smell of maroon powder assailed his nostrils. It was accompanied by noisy noises, the lovely laughter of women, and the lewd laughter of men. The entire scene was so beautiful that it caused one's face to turn red and heart to beat. It was also unbearable to look at.

"37 Spirit Stones!"

Suddenly, a shout entered Xiao Yi's ears, and he looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a thin man with a sickly pale face, hugging him from left to right, but his eyes were staring straight into the depths of the hall.

There was a wooden platform there, and on top of it stood a fat woman who was dressed up seductively. Besides that, there was also a large ice cold iron cage.

In the cage, there was a little girl curled up in a corner, shivering. Although she was dressed very beautifully and dressed very appropriately, her pair of eyes that were filled with fear and helplessness revealed the despair in her heart!

The little girl had her head lowered and her hands tightly hugged her knees. Her long hair fell down and covered most of her face. However, from the outline of her body, Xiao Yi could tell that this person was not Xiao Yu, but a helpless and hopeless stranger.

"Haha! Mountain Leopard, I haven't seen you for a long time. I thought you died because of a woman. " The group of people who came in before Xiao Yi was also attracted by the shout. They saw a bald man who was called Big Brother Liu in the lead and said with a sneer.

The leopard was the skinny man with the sickly white hair. When he heard the mocking laugh, he was instinctively angry. However, when he saw who it was, he suppressed it and coldly harrumphed. "Hmph! I was wondering who had the guts to do so. So it's you, a gigolo! Come here! Boss Scorpion, do you know?"

"Hehe! Whether you know or not is none of your business. "

Big Sixth Brother did not give him any face at all. He led the group of people straight to the opposite side of the leopard and sat down. He crossed his legs and said loudly: "Forty! I'm definitely going to get this girl!"

"Forty-five!" The leopard did not want to be outdone and slammed the table with an overbearing aura.

"Yo, yo, yo! The two of you! If you want to bid, then bid! Don't cause a ruckus here!" The fat woman on the stage hurriedly said. She recognized these two people. One of them was Boss Hu's subordinate, and the other was Boss Scorpion's male pet. Both of them were martial artists. Once a fight broke out, it would definitely cause chaos.

In the hall, there were many slaves gathered in groups of three to five to watch the show. Originally, some of the bidders had already given up under the deterrence of the leopard, but unexpectedly, Big Brother Sixth intervened and made the duck that the leopard had gotten fly away again.

Big Brother Sixth casually waved his hand and said, "Big Sister Hua, please be at ease. We don't dare to cause trouble on this land, right?"

"That's right! That's right! If you cause a ruckus here, someone will die. We don't want to be reincarnated so early! "

" Haha -! "

Everyone burst into laughter, giving Big Sister Hua enough face. Big Sister Hua pouted and looked at Big Brother Liu, saying, "Then do you still want to increase the price? This girl is very fresh and fresh. She hasn't even been trained. She's just waiting for you guys to open her bud. I'll buy her for a night, and the highest bidder will get her. "

"Hehe! I've already said it just now. This girl is going to be mine! How could I let someone else take advantage of me? Raise the bid, 50 pills! "

"Hmph! He loved to talk nonsense! Sixty!"

" Sixty-five! "

"Seventy!"

“. . . ”

The two of them refused to give in. The more they shouted, the more intense it became. In the end, both of their eyes turned red. If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't cause trouble here, they would have started fighting a long time ago.

Everyone's gazes were attracted by the two of them, and they watched the fight with great interest. Only Xiao Yi remained silent, and no one knew what he was thinking. Logically speaking, after knowing that the little girl was not Xiao Yu, he should have left. However, the helpless figure in the iron cage stabbed him like a needle.

Helplessness, panic, and despair were extremely cruel to a little girl!

Out of nowhere, Xiao Yi shouted coldly, "One hundred!"

Hua -

In an instant, everyone turned to look at Xiao Yi. Their initial shock, their pity, and finally, their eyes turned into unbridled mockery.

"Who is this kid? Where did he come from? Who knows? "

" I've never seen it before. It's probably someone from a poor mining area. "

"No wonder he doesn't know the rules! He doesn't even know Brother Sixth and Brother Leopard. He really doesn't know life from death!"

"Hehe! There's going to be a good show to watch now! If this kid doesn't give face to Big Brother Sixth and Big Brother Shanbao, he'll probably die a miserable death! "

" What do you mean by estimate? That's for sure, for sure, and for sure, he'll die a miserable death!"

"Haha. . . "

An unbridled ridicule sounded from all directions and fell into Xiao Yi's ears. However, he ignored it and only stared intently at the little girl in the iron cage. He repeatedly warned himself that his decision at this moment was right. If he watched coldly from the sidelines, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life!
