Chapter 450
“But this is way too dark…” Guyan said.
“Let’s just go,” Mo Jiuli said.
“Exactly, this Miss understands.
I don’t have time to waste with you.
If you don’t leave now, who knows when you’ll be able to enter the city?” the Guard said dissatisfied.
“Alright then, Guard Big brother, please, trouble yourself and quickly lead us into the city!” Guyan looked at the man and said.
And so the Guard led the way with Mo Jiuli and the others following him into the pitch-dark passage.
About six hours later, they saw a light up ahead, and before long, they emerged, led by the Guard…
As they passed through the exit, a whiff of fragrance drifted to Mo Jiuli’s nose.
With a flash in her eyes and without betraying any emotion, she discreetly handed an Elixir to Guyan and the others, who understood and quietly swallowed the pills…
No sooner had they stepped out than there came a thunderous boom behind them—the Iron Gate at the exit clanged shut!
Ahead lay a row of very ordinary-looking buildings, with a Stone-Paved Road running through the middle…
“What’s this?
So few people today?
And they’re all tender-skinned and delicate—a bunch of weaklings at first glance!
Aren’t there any useful people?” At that moment, a few big men from the left spoke up, dissatisfied.
“These people came from Tianhe City, probably descendants of families heading to Wanshou Forest for Training!
If it wasn’t for the fact they’d never been to Bai City before, we wouldn’t have anyone today.
Stop being picky!
Hurry up and take them away.
Lately, the City Lord has been quite discontent due to the slow progress in mining…” The Guard said to the big men.
Mo Jiuli and the others, hearing this, kept silent as the big men glanced at them, then said to the Guard, “Alright, we got it.
We’ll speed up the process!
We’ll take the people, you can go back…”
The Guard nodded, looked disdainfully at Mo Jiuli and the rest, then turned and left.
Watching his retreating figure, a smile crept across Mo Jiuli’s lips…
“What are you looking at?
Come with us!
Once you get inside, work hard.
Otherwise, you can forget about keeping your lives!
Don’t even think about resisting.
By the time you arrived here, you were already poisoned—disobeying orders will only hasten your demise…” the big man said to Mo Jiuli and the others.
“Ah…
We’ve been poisoned?” Guyan exclaimed with feigned shock.
“That’s right.
You were poisoned the moment you came in!
Hurry up and move…” the big man said impatiently to Mo Jiuli and her companions.
Mo Jiuli nodded and without further conversation, followed the big men deeper in…
Indeed, the buildings they had seen were just for show, desolated, and passing the ordinary structures, the true landscape revealed deep Mountain inside.
Mo Jiuli and her entourage followed the big men for roughly six hours until they finally reached their destination—a Mining Area…
There were quite a few people laboriously mining Ore inside…
Mo Jiuli saw that the Mining Area only produced ordinary Dark Energy Ores, not Dark Stones with specific attributes.
From a distance she saw both Upper-grade and Top-grade ores.
Although they lacked attributes, such a Mining Area was still quite valuable, no wonder the Bai City Lord was tempted…
“Big brother, why are we being made to mine Dark Stones?
Has Bai City run out of people?” Mo Jiuli curiously asked the big man beside her.
“Hmph, if the City Lord used his own people to mine, wouldn’t he have to pay them a Salary?”
