Chapter 1078: Chapter 263: What? The Commandery Princess Fed the Gu God?
“Protector Lord.”
The patrol leader came over, gave a salute to the Miao man, who glanced at him and said: “Send them.”
“Yes, Protector Lord, these are the fifty new offerings sent.”
The Miao man nodded and said: “Mm, send them into the mine.”
Upon hearing this, the patrol leader immediately nodded and said: “Yes.”
With that, he directly pushed Chen Jie and his group of fifty people before an iron door and said: “One by one, hurry up, don’t dawdle.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie and the others were sent through the iron door.
Entering the iron door, a group came over to inspect them, no carrying of any items allowed.
Then they gave each of them a bamboo basket to carry stone and soil, saying: “Follow the person in front, one after another, get to the bottom of the pit to carry soil, if you walk slowly, or dare to slack off, watch out for my whip.”
Snap!
With that, the Supervisor whipped in the air.
Chen Jie and his group remained silent, and an old prisoner came to lead them down the stairs.
The stairs had two paths, one for going down, one for carrying up.
“Everyone hurry up, don’t dawdle, don’t whisper.”
Snap!
The whip snapped in the air, really treating them like cattle and horses.
The whip cracked in the air repeatedly, Chen Jie and his group carried the basket and descended into the mine.
At this time, Chen Jie said to Xiao Hu and Hu Weiyong: “Keep an eye, pay attention to the people around, Xiao Hu, see if there are any traces of the Commandery Princess.”
“Yes.”
With that, Chen Jie and his group transformed into beasts of burden and began carrying soil.
Chen Jie followed people, realizing the pit was indeed deep, a full fifty or sixty meters.
Below, there were people digging soil while another group with baskets passed by them, filling their baskets with soil, then climbed up another set of stairs to dump the soil.
Chen Jie was somewhat puzzled, weren’t they supposed to be captured as offerings?
Why haven’t they been sacrificed, starting to do construction work instead?
While pondering, he saw the Rainbow Realm’s Miao Supervisor ascend to the high platform, looked down and said: “I don’t care where you came from, what you’ve done before, remember, here you’re just a bunch of rotten meat, useless bugs. Your only value is to dig hard, if you don’t perform well, you’ll become offerings, feed our great Gu God!”
After the Supervisor spoke, people below immediately shouted: “Did you hear, you worthless bugs, dare to slack off, hurry up and work.”
Snap..
Hurry up!
You worthless bugs!
The whip was wielded wildly as if costing nothing, everyone gritted their teeth, trying their best to climb up step by step.
Chen Jie blended in the crowd, looking at the Supervisor on top of the platform and said: “Who is that?”
Hearing this, a person walked past Chen Jie, immediately said: “That is Turand Protector, the chief Supervisor here, all of us are under his control!”
Jie Wenyan looked at the person and said: “Brother, what’s your full name, I just arrived, don’t understand the rules, please guide me.”
With that, Chen Jie took out a piece of Silver and handed it over.
The person glanced and said: “How did you manage to bring this thing here?”
Chen Jie said: “Brother, help me out.”
The person said: “This thing here isn’t worth more than a piece of bun, if you have a bun I…”
“Hmm?!”
As the person spoke halfway, suddenly saw Chen Jie magically produce a bun in his hand.
The person saw the bun, eyes instantly lit up, and grabbed it without hesitation, despite his dirty hands, stuffing it into his mouth.
Choking with his eyes bulging, yet he kept chewing the bun laboriously.
Chen Jie said: “Brother, brother, don’t choke to death!”
“Hic…”
The guy swallowed the bun in one go, looked at Chen Jie and said: “Choking to death beats starving to death.”
Chewing the bun scraps, he said: “Brother, whatever you want to ask, just ask.”
Hearing this, Chen Jie said: “How long have you been here?”
The person said: “Half a month, I suppose.”
Chen Jie said: “And you haven’t been thrown as an offering?”
The person laughed: “Brother, the survival secret here is not being a standout, be a bit reliable and they won’t throw you into the abyss first.”
Chen Jie was stunned: “Abyss?”
The person laughed: “Yes, the place where the Gu God resides.”
Chen Jie said: “Where is the abyss?”
The person said: “At the bottom of this pit, that’s where the Gu God resides.”
Chen Jie: “Then digging this pit is to?”
“To bring out the Gu God from the abyss.”
After finishing, the person continued forward: “Brother, take my advice, if you want to survive longer here, work honestly and don’t pry around.”
“Thank you for your advice.”
With that, Chen Jie said: “By the way, brother, let me ask you, have you seen a fair-looking young man here, looks something like this…”
Chen Jie described Zhao Yanan’s appearance.
At that moment, the person said: “Oh, I remember the person you’re talking about, was sent in two days ago.”
Chen Jie upon hearing this said: “Right, right.”
“Where is he?”
Chen Jie asked excitedly.
Hearing this, the person said: “Fed to the Gu God!”
“What!”
Chen Jie was shocked, eyes widened.
The person said: “Lower your voice.”
“What’s going on over there?”
Chen Jie’s shock immediately alerted a nearby Supervisor holding a whip, he pointed this way with the whip and said: “What are you doing?”
The person quickly said: “Reporting Lord, it’s nothing, he just tripped.”
