Chapter 2 Beauty Contest
The slaves' suffering continued like this. They were awakened by whips at dawn during the day, and began to work without breakfast.
In the huge square, the rat men transported carts of grain here to dry. The slaves packed the mountain-like piles of grain into leather bags, and then the rat men took them to the blood crystal battlefield or outpost!
At noon, the pig tribesmen with pig heads and human bodies will bring pots of pig food-like things, which is the only meal for the slaves.
After dark, they were all driven back to their cells and put into cages.
Within a few days, the empty cage became crowded again!
But the two people who were arrested recently were very abnormal. One was named Aleus, who claimed to be the prince of the demon clan. He was very arrogant, and finally succumbed to the whip of the minotaur, but he was still abnormal towards the slaves.
Arrogant!
The other one is Su Wu, the spy leader of the Di Rong branch of the Datong Empire's Private Court. He also served as an official in the Orc tribe, but his identity was discovered by the Orc tribe's high priest. He is locked up here and beaten and interrogated every day!
That night, Zhou Xiang couldn't sleep after hearing Wednesday's slight snoring.
After arriving here, his energy was extremely high. He could stay up all night and still be energetic the next day.
At first he was not used to it. He endured hard work, whipping and hunger during the day. He couldn't sleep at night, and then endured hunger.
In order to resist hunger and think of a way to escape, Zhou Xiang began to recall the past of the earth!
Zhou Xiang is from Earth and has a good start.
After studying hard for more than ten years, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in mechanics and worked as a technician in a state-owned factory. With perseverance and agility, I became the workshop director in three years.
But this is where the bad luck began.
He went to his girlfriend happily and wanted to tell her the good news in person.
When I got off the taxi, I met a slovenly old man.
Zhou Xiang looked at this old man who didn't bring any props and was unprofessional in swindling money, so he took a detour and walked away.
But the old Taoist shouted behind him:
"Young man, you must hold back, the noble person in your life is a beauty!"
Hmm? This seasoned talk is quite pleasant?
But he ignored it and continued to move forward, giving the veteran a thumbs up in his heart!
My girlfriend is indeed a beauty!
If you think about it carefully, it’s wrong, so hold back?
What are you putting up with? We’ve been living together for two years!
"Beep~~~~~" The harsh whistle and brake sound sounded!
If you don't walk attentively, there will always be accidents.
Zhou Xiang’s soul bid farewell to the earth like this!
But the old man covered his face and muttered to himself: "I wanted to save your life, but if you were polite and said thank you later, wouldn't this matter be over?"
"Huh? But why did I say I had to hold back?"
The old Taoist counted his fingers and sighed, "One drink, one peck, everything is destiny. Remember my words, maybe I can save your life again!"
Zhou Xiang didn't hear the old Taoist talking to himself. When he thought of this, veins popped up on his forehead.
Damn stinky Taoist priest, don't you talk nonsense? Can I be distracted and not see that sports car?
But thinking about the current situation, my own approach is to endure it all the time. Why is it the same as what the old man said?
Zhou Xiang shook his head and sighed, what a coincidence! He began to analyze his own strengths!
My own agility?
Although the Minotaur soldiers here are a little stupider than normal people, they possess super high strength.
Trying to escape by relying on intelligence and a clever mouth is just a dream!
My own perseverance?
Perseverance is helpful, allowing me to endure longer than other slaves.
Knowledge of the earth? Mechanical skills?
Look at the wooden bars of the cage and the tauren soldiers in the passage, and then look inside the cage, which is empty except for hay.
Zhou Xiang came to the same result after analyzing it countless times. There is no other way but to endure and live a few more days!
A burst of footsteps and loud laughter interrupted Zhou Xiang's thoughts and woke up the slaves in their sleep!
The big iron door on the outside of the corridor was opened, and a group of minotaur soldiers walked in, shouting loudly!
"Tomorrow is the monthly slave beauty contest again. You cheap slaves, dress yourself up beautifully. If you are selected, it will be your day of success! Hahaha"
After saying that, he didn’t care about the slaves’ reactions and walked out directly!
All the prison cages started to get up and down, and the slaves were scrambling to get hold of them!
In a desperate situation, Zhou Xiang seemed to have grasped the last straw, and several key words came into his mind.
"Slave beauty pageant?" "Beautiful?" "The day of success?"
He instantly ignited hope, lowered his head and looked around, thinking about taking care of himself!
But he saw Wednesday grabbing his linen clothes and pulling hard!
"What are you doing?" Zhou Xiang grabbed Zhou Zhou's hand and asked!
"Master, I will tear a few more holes for you to make you even more embarrassed!" Wednesday replied!
Only then did Zhou Xiang realize that he looked around at the slaves. They were all doing the same things as Wednesday, tearing off their clothes, smearing their faces with mud, etc.!
The so-called "beauty contest"? It's just a joke!
And "the first day"?
It’s time to die!
Some orc nobles or orc priests, because of some special hobbies, or to test newly developed techniques, etc., will come to the slave camp from time to time to select slaves to meet their different needs, and the results of the slaves can be imagined!
With the sharp decline in slaves
Young Master, the Beast King has issued a new order to select slaves on a regular basis! The various groups of beasts, nobles and priests must take turns to select slaves!
Zhou Xiang was appointed to be at the mercy of Wednesday until...
"Damn it, stop pulling it, that's the crotch!"
"Master, it's better to expose it. Look at that, your arm is broken and you're hurting yourself!"
"That was interrupted by the guards two days ago! Why didn't you show it!"
"Master, forget it, mother-in-law. If you show this, I won't. You are much uglier than me. I will definitely not be able to choose you. When the time comes, you will..."
Zhou Xiang was silent, his eyes were a little red, and he stopped listening to Wednesday's nagging!
Zhou Xiang, a loyal and somewhat clever servant, moved Zhou Xiang, who has a future soul!
At this moment, he hates the slave society, slavery, and the orcs so much!
"Wednesday, don't be a servant in your next life!"
"Master, is there a next life? I heard that there is a sect that believes in the next life, but it has been defined as a cult by the empire..."
After a period of chaos, the cell became quiet, and the slaves worked hard and resigned themselves to their fate.
Master Zhou Xiang and his servant looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
Zhou Xiang asked: "How long have we been here!"
"Master, it's been two years and five months!"
"Yes, in terms of time here, we are the oldest slaves here!"
"Basically, it's three months, and for the cunning ones, it's half a year at most!"
"We have lived two years longer than them, it's worth it!"
"Master, speaking of it, we are really lucky!"
"I hope I can be as lucky tomorrow!"
"Young Master, I will definitely do it. I will pray for you! Qingshen bless you..."
Zhou Xiang didn't pray with Wednesday. He didn't believe in Qingshen. He only believed in himself. That's why he became the workshop director in three years at the age of a young boy!
Zhou Xiang is thinking about what will happen tomorrow. It will be another killing situation. He has to adapt to circumstances and add some luck to avoid it!
Zhou Xiang began to think wildly again, thinking of the old Taoist words telling him to return to the west;
Thinking of the hard work of more than ten years finally being exchanged for a slave, will the beautiful and quirky girlfriend find another boyfriend?
Thinking of Xiao Zhouxiang, who is seeking death, his talent is so bad;
What is the meaning of your current life?
I also thought of the countless slave riots, the middle-aged people who made impassioned speeches, and the indomitable human slaves.
The method was to commit suicide, but the spirit reminded him.
Don't give in, cheer up!
