It seems that this trip was in vain.

I sighed deeply and prepared to pull the machine open and go out of the hole.

Be careful when opening the agency here. If a Zoroastrian happens to pass by outside, or a slave guard comes here, then our door will be discovered immediately as soon as it is opened.

As for the slave workers inside, I guess even if someone opens the door, it won't attract their attention. Anyway, they are all used to slave guards coming in as soon as the door is opened. When I followed the guard in, I didn't see any reaction from them.

Putting my hand on the mechanism pull rod, I took a deep breath, took out the Xuanyuan Sword with the other hand, and prepared for the battle if I was discovered. Before leaving, I couldn't help but look back at the poor slaves.

Sometimes luck is really hard to understand, and often in just a moment, opportunities may be delivered to you.

Of course, it’s not enough to have luck just because you have the key is to have the vision to discover opportunities.

Just that casual glance turned around and found something that was very contrary to common sense.

Unconsciously, the slaves worked much faster than before, and they all looked very nervous, as if they were rushing to finish the work.

They waved the iron shovel and pickaxe in their hands, as if they had been stimulant, as if they had endless strength, which was completely different from the half-dead and drag-out scene I had seen before.

Even their cheeks were slightly red due to the intense movement. Sweat flowed down their foreheads and mixed with the dust on their faces. But they didn't even have time to reach out to wipe the floor.

Moreover, the expression on each slave's face was a little strange. Some people looked at the door from time to time, while others dug it and listened with their ears, as if they were worried about being discovered.

There was no communication between them, but I always felt that there was a mysterious spirit that connected them together. The dozens of slaves looked like an inseparable whole at this time, which was really strange.

Just as I was stunned, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from the other side of the stone gate. At this moment, I heard a small voice from the slaves, and someone said, "Here you come."

I almost didn't have time to react, and the stone door in front of me was opened without warning. A beam of light shone brightly in, and a slave guard walked in with a whip in his hand.

"Why are you so slow? You don't want to eat anymore, right?"

The slave guard passed by me and did not find anyone standing in front of him at all. He was so close to him.

This is pretty slow to do it? This guy has too high requirements for slaves. If he asked him to try it himself, he would definitely not be able to do it faster than these slaves?

Turning my head, I was surprised to find that the slaves had returned to their previous appearance of dying. The subway pickaxe and iron shovel in their hands seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Every time I lifted it, it seemed like I would take all my strength.

Did all I saw just now were hallucinations?

The slave guard walked into the cave and looked around. My eyes followed him, carefully looking at these abnormal slave craftsmen.

"I've dug less than a meter in the whole day. You can save your supper today!" The slave guard waved his whip and whipped the slaves in front of him heavily, with his expression very dissatisfied.

I was surprised to find that although the slaves who were beaten just now howled loudly, the expressions on their faces were in the play, like a whip deliberately catering to the slave guards, thus attracting his attention.

And their eyes seemed to be dodging something intentionally or unintentionally, as if they were afraid that the slave guard would find something.

My eyes swept through the entire cave quickly, and I found a clue.

Just now, when these slaves were speeding up their work, at least nearly ten slaves stood on a stone wall near the north, but now there was not a single figure there.

Before, I clearly saw a large hole about one meter in diameter dug out there, but now the hole was blocked with stones. If I hadn't paid attention to the cave before, I wouldn't have found that there was something wrong with it.

After venting his anger, the slave guard blew his whip and then cursed and left the hole. At this time, I was no longer in a hurry to leave, because everything that happened in front of me would definitely not be a tbug that the system accidentally fell.

If I guessed correctly, there must be a hidden task here, just waiting to be discovered.

Sure enough, not long after the slave guard left, the slaves immediately returned to their enthusiasm. The two slaves pushed away the stone blocking the cave in the north, and seven or eight people followed behind them and tried hard to dig forward. The remaining people also accelerated their speed, as if they wanted to make up for the work that these ten people lacked.

Haha, these guys want to dig tunnels and escape!

But it will definitely take time to dig an authentic tunnel. These slave guards will not have to come in to inspect it soon. They can only deliberately pretend to be slow and then divide a group of people to dig the authentic tunnel.

So smart! Even such clues have been discovered by me.

It is certain that there is a task here, but I don’t have a good idea for a while to trigger this task.

After thinking about it, I decided to follow those guys to the small hole in the north to take a look. Since there is the key to the mission, clues will naturally arise there.

Ten slaves were squeezed into a stone cave less than one meter wide, and it was obvious that I could not squeeze in with them anymore. But once a miner, it was naturally not difficult for me to see how they operated.

The two people walking in the front were digging the passage with all their strength, while the people behind were pushing the dug out sand and stones as quickly as possible.

After thinking about it, I suddenly took a step forward and grabbed a slave who was standing outside and was about to transport the sand and stones out.

Suddenly, I felt someone holding me back. The slave was naturally shocked, but he didn't dare to scream. He just stood there in a daze, not daring to move.

Fortunately, they chose the passage in this place. Unless they walked in front of them, almost all the slaves in the cave would not be able to see what was happening here.

What's more, at this time everyone was working for these "absent" people, so no one would notice any accidents here.

The guy who was pulled by me struggled carefully for a few times, but how could this guy who might not have eaten for a few days break free from my control? When a guy standing behind him suddenly realized that his companion was standing still, he couldn't help but ask, "Lei Zi, why are you standing? Move quickly."

The guy named Lei Zi was grabbed by me with both hands. I didn't know what was going on, so I could only barely turn my head and say to my companion behind me: "I seem to have been caught."

After a silence, a sound of tying came from the passage, as if someone was squeezing his companion and walked out of the innermost. Then, a force came from behind my head, and someone knocked the iron pickaxe in his hand on the top of my head.

"Don't move if you don't want to be discovered by the slave guards outside!"

I lowered my voice and said to the guy who was about to knock on my head with a pickaxe, then flashed and pushed Lei Zi forward. All of them were blocked into the cave by me.

"There is a ghost!" Lei Zi screamed in shock, immediately attracting the attention of all the slaves in the cave. Everyone put down their work and looked in this direction.

And just then, someone shouted softly: "Here you come."

Every slave showed a panic look on his face, and he seemed to not know what to do.

"Let's talk about it later!"

I stretched out my hand and pulled out the thunder that had just been pushed into the hole. Then, several companions behind him ran out quickly, stood at the position they were supposed to work, pretending that nothing had happened as much as possible, digging the rocks weakly.

The stone gate was opened, and the slave guard came in again for a patrol. Lei Zi was regarded as a lazy guy by the guards, so he gave him two whips.

Lei Zi didn't dare to say anything because he clearly remembered that the brothers came out too quickly and had no time to block the passage. If they were discovered by the guards at this time, their previous efforts would be wasted.

However, when he turned his gaze to the direction of the passage, he was surprised to find that the stone that was originally used to cover was pushed back at some point. From this direction, nothing seemed to have happened there.

I leaned gently against the stone used to cover, looking at everything that was happening in front of me as if I was leisurely. It seemed that after the slave guards left, there was no need for me to continue playing the trick of invisibility.

Sure enough, after the slave guard vented, he turned around and went out again. Lei Zi and his previous companions surrounded the stone and looked at the "big rock" that would automatically block the entrance of the cave in surprise.

"Who is the master who helps, why don't he show up to meet?"

The guy who had been preparing to knock me with a pickaxe asked softly, obviously guessing that I hadn't left yet, just hid.

I cancelled the sneaking, stood in front of the slaves with a smile, and said softly: "It seems that you are preparing to escape, right? Is there anything you need to help me?"

"Who said we wanted to escape!" Seeing that the person standing in front of him was just a Taoist priest, Lei Zi was furious by the whips just now, and even glared at me.
