"Northern Wilderness?" Mo Yiming looked up and looked into the distance. Although he still saw the mountains, when he said the word "Northern Wilderness", he seemed to be able to cross the mountains and see the endless desert. He could not see any fluctuations in his eyes, but his expression was extremely tired, especially the heavy hammer in his hand, which made his thin waist unable to be completely straightened.

Mo Yiming is now sixteen years old. Due to years of fatigue, hunger and cold, he is as thin as a hair. With his disheveled hair, he is even more invisible.

"Yes, the Northern Wilderness... It is said that the people there are all barbarians, not only barbaric, but also cruel. If it weren't for the war on the Nanshan Mountain, we wouldn't have fallen into this way and lived such a hungry and cold life. Alas, when I think of this, I really missed when we were in Tucheng."

The person who spoke was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and his figure was in sharp contrast with Mo Yiming, named Lei Xiao. It is said that some people will gain weight when they drink water, and Lei Xiao probably belongs to that kind of person. If he hadn't seen the iron chains on his feet and the ragged clothes on his body, he would have thought he was a child of a rich family.

Anyway, how can he say his fatness? It is indeed indescribable.

"Yes." Mo Yiming took a deep breath. After the cold breath, his fatigue relieved a lot of pain. His thoughts then returned to the place full of laughter and joy four years ago.

That was his hometown - Tucheng.

A clear stream passed through Tucheng. He, Lei Xiao and other friends often took off naked and played in the water and caught fish. There was a century-old ginkgo tree in front of his house. At dusk, he lay in his mother's arms, looking at the red clouds in the sky, and listening to his mother's sensational deeds that had happened in Nanshan.

I still remember that when he was nine years old, he had his current name. At that time, his mother gave him such a name to make a splash when he was successful in the future.

Looking back now, it seemed as if my mother knew that all this would happen now...

He even remembered that whenever his father came back from farming, he would always leave a deep kiss mark on his face as soon as possible. At that time, he would pretend to be disgusted and wipe away the saliva left on his cheeks by his father.

Whenever he thinks of this, a burst of sorrow will appear in Mo Yiming's heart. The moment this sorrow surges into his heart, it was covered up by his firm eyes. He believed that one day he would definitely make a big splash!

But immediately, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He recalled that at noon that day, officers and soldiers entered the village and captured all the people from the Tucheng City. Some were taken to the battlefield to act as cannon fodder, while others were caught here for mining all day long, and some were missing. After that day, Mo Yiming never saw his parents again.

It was not until he came here that Mo Yiming realized that it was not just the people from Tucheng who were arrested.

In addition to himself and Lei Xiao, there was also a young man who was staring at them at the moment when he was working. The young man was wearing black armor and packed his not-so-strong body a lot. He wore a hat on his head, probably because it was raining at dawn, and he had not had time to take it off. His eyes were staring at Lei Xiao, motionless, full of pride, just like a hunter looking at the prey in his hand.

In fact, when he was in Tucheng, he had a good relationship with Mo Yiming and Lei Xiao. However, after he came here, he quickly changed. Power made him lose himself!

His name is Zhang Xun, who is about the same age as Mo Yiming. On the first day he came here, he was like Mo Yiming, carrying an iron hammer, constantly knocking on the big rocks on the mountain, and mining even a little bit of iron here. The iron would be taken back by the guards to smel and cast into weapons. The next day, he talked to the long-term workers here, and on the third day, he rubbed the shoulders and backs of the long-term workers who were sitting. After about half a month, he became the supervisor here.

Li Xun, who was a supervisor, seemed to have become a different person, with flames of hatred flashing in his eyes. When he looked at Mo Yiming and Lei Xiao, his expression was very strange.

At this moment, Li Xun was slowly walking towards Lei Xiao's position, holding a rolled whip in his hand, and patting his palm from time to time. A smile was raised at the corner of his mouth, and there was an unspeakable evil pleasure in the smile.

Lei Xiao did not notice Li Xun's arrival.

"Bang!"

The whip whipped bitterly on Lei Xiao's back, and suddenly left a deep blood mark on Lei Xiao's back.

The sudden biting pain made Lei Xiao scream suddenly. This sound alarmed all the people who were mining and looked at Lei Xiao in a blink of an eye.

"Make you lazy and not work!"

"Bang!"

As he spoke, another whip fell down, and it was hitting the same position. The moment the whip touched Lei Xiao, blood suddenly emerged, and the flesh and blood cracked where the whip fell.

Lei Xiao screamed and rolled aside.

However, Li Xun, who was raising his whip, did not want to let Lei Xiao go at all. The viciousness in his eyes spewed out like flames, making his face look ferocious and distorted at this moment.

"Let you..." Before he finished speaking, the whip had already gone down. When the whip passed by the air, it even brought out a gust of wind. The force was so powerful that it was conceivable.

Leaked to the ground, Lei Xiao was about to dodge, but suddenly he found that Mo Yiming, who was beside him, caught the falling whip.

After the whip fell into Mo Yiming's hand, Mo Yiming trembled slightly. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain from his palm. He looked at Li Xun, who was extremely unhappy and said, "Li Xun, let go of Lei Xiao for the sake of us who are all Tucheng people."

Li Xun was stunned at first. He had no idea that Mo Yiming would catch the whip he waved with his bare hands. He also knew how much strength he had used. He knew even more that there must be deep blood marks in Mo Yiming's hand at this moment. Even in Mo Yiming's palm, there were already calluses accumulated over the years!

"Tucheng? I'm no longer from that place... Am I familiar with you? Why should I let him go? Besides, my name is Li Shanggong, not Li Xun!"

When Li Xun spoke, he suddenly pulled out the whip that fell into Mo Yiming's hand, causing Mo Yiming to shrink his hand, take two steps back, and look in pain.

Even so, Mo Yiming was afraid that Li Xun would wave a whip at Lei Xiao again in the next second. He had learned Li Xun's methods and knew what kind of person Li Xun was. He hurriedly said: "Yes, Supervisor Li, please let Lei Xiao go."

Li Xun smiled faintly and showed disdain, but compared to the evil spirit before, it was much better. He deliberately put his head close to Mo Yiming and said, "I didn't hear clearly what you said."

Mo Yiming understood what Li Xun said. He did not want to speak louder. Instead, he wanted to beg him, which would make him feel full of compliment.

"Mr. Li, please let Lei Xiao go."

Even though Mo Yiming didn't want to beg Li Xun and was eager to give Li Xun a few iron hammers in front of him, he knew that if he did this, he would not only die, but also be buried with him. He knew even more that as long as he had the slightest hesitation, the whip in Li Xun's hand would most likely fall on Lei Xiao again. So his voice was loud and he was very decisive.

"Zhang Xun! No wonder the immortal said that you were not right in your mind and had no wisdom. You have the ability to bully us, so why don't you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy! You deserved that you were not taken away by the immortal back then!"

Lei Xiao clenched his fists, half-squatted and unable to stand up. Whenever he saw Mo Yiming begging Zhang Xun, he felt infinite anger in his heart. He knew what kind of person Mo Yiming was usually and his indomitableness and perseverance. But now, for himself, he begged Zhang Xun countless times. Therefore, his voice was loud and fell into Zhang Xun's ears, thundering into his ears, echoing in Zhang Xun's mind, and even causing all the miners to tremble suddenly. He thought that Lei Xiao was not far from death. They knew very well what the end would be to confront the supervisors here.

They have seen those who had resisted were beaten to death, those who had escaped were caught, and those who had escaped were broken and abandoned the corpse in the wilderness. They even dared not shake their heads to express their sighs.

Pain, fear of death, and the wailing sound before death made their resistance numb!

But as if no one knew, Zhang Xun's thoughts returned to the unforgettable rainy night many years ago.

In the Nanshan area, every five years, monks will enter various village tribes to select people with wisdom and take them back to the sect and practice the great way. However, there is only one such place. Among his peers, Zhang Xun in Tucheng was extremely smart since childhood and was as powerful as a cow. He once hunted a porcupine weighing a ton with his bare hands. In everyone's eyes, he was the one who could enter the sect to practice the great way. The whole village was proud of it. Such a halo lingered in his body and never retreated.

Until the immortal came to Tucheng, he gently tapped the boy's head one by one, and when he shook his head helplessly, he pointed to Zhang Xun's head. His fingertips stayed on Zhang Xun's forehead for a moment, but then frowned: "You have the root of cultivation of wisdom, but your mind will make you go astray when practicing the great way in the future. When I test the others, if they have not cultivated wisdom, I will take you away. If there is, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zhang Xun nodded, with an unprecedented fanaticism in his eyes, especially when there was only one left, he could clearly hear his heartbeat accelerate. This acceleration made him look at the last one, Lei Xiao.

In his opinion, this fat man who usually only knows how to herd cattle cannot have the wisdom to cultivate!

But when the immortal pointed to Lei Xiao's forehead, his body trembled slightly, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and a light flashed: "Little fat man, are you willing to go back to the sect to practice with me?"

However, after hesitating for a moment, Lei Xiao shook his head and refused in all the envious and jealous eyes. If this place is given up, it will not fall on others.

So when the immortal turned into a rainbow and left, Zhang Xun begged to the sky, and even knelt for a day on a rainy night to show sincerity, but it was fruitless. At that time, hatred for Lei Xiao had already grown.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xun did not show too much hatred, but he had already fallen into his bones. At this moment, he had the opportunity to revenge, so his hatred surged out. He said with an evil smile: "Even if you have wisdom, you are still a prisoner in my hand, an ant in your hand!" As he finished speaking, he slowly squatted down, approached Lei Xiao, and continued, "When I want you to die, you will die. Tell me, what's the use of your wisdom... But I don't want you to die so soon."

After saying that, Li Xun stood up, breathed a sigh of relief, and left with his hands behind his back. After taking two steps, his body suddenly slapped, turned to look at Lei Xiao, and said gently: "I can't figure out why you are still so fat if you don't give you food... I'm so fat and have poor health. How can I work? I'll stop eating tonight."

Looking at Li Xun leaving, Lei Xiao gritted his teeth and his hatred had not diminished. During this period, if it weren't for the quiet relief of Mr. Xie and Mo Yiming, he would have been starved to death.

"If I have the chance, I have to kill this bitch." Lei Xiao gritted his teeth and said.

"Stay the green mountains and don't worry about burning firewood."

While speaking, Mo Yiming stood up with Lei Xiao. However, his eyes looked at the other side not far from the mine, where there were often sounds of flowing water. Although he had never been there, he speculated that there should be a canyon, which seemed to be the only way to escape. But it was extremely difficult to escape to that canyon. After all, the iron chains on his feet would alarm all the guards while walking. As long as the guards were found to escape, there was only a dead end, so what Mo Yiming had to wait for now was an opportunity, and this time required the right time, place and people...

Thoughts were spinning rapidly in his mind. Mo Yiming didn't know if there would be life after jumping into that canyon. But he knew that staying here would only be tortured to death in the end.
