The Brave Girl and the Great Demon King

Chapter 21 029: The Fallen Spaceship and the Mine in the Valley
After passing through the first few days in such a boundary river, Ash and Heizi are also gradually learning and growing. Because of the preciousness of energy cards, these two people have to start to adapt to fighting without the help of cards, close combat, Using the terrain to design various traps, just as they describe themselves, using the barbarian's fighting style, although rough and rough, is practical and sharp, making progress day by day.

"Am I raising a child?" Occasionally, the youngest girl would raise her face and ask such a question.

On the fifth day after entering the Boundary River, Alicia and the others found a fallen spaceship, which had penetrated the cabin by something, and finally fell in the middle of the Boundary River. All the bows of the ship were sunk into the soft soil, and the sturdy hull was also covered with metal-loving plants.

From the state of the growth of those plants, it can be judged that the spaceship has not fallen for a long time, and it may have happened in the past few days, but no one can be seen inside the hull, only the destroyed hull and scattered everywhere. The bloodstains on the ground silently told the tragic disaster at that time.

"It's the refuge ship from over there. I recognize the number. It's a special model reserved for the city." After looking around, Ash said with a heavy tone.

"Ah." Alicia couldn't help but let out a small cry. She thought of Blanco who was sent by her to board the refuge ship. She didn't know if he boarded the ship smoothly, let alone where he sat. A lucky or unlucky ship, but there is no way to verify it now. This refuge ship has been crashed for several days, and some lucky people have left long ago, and those who died unfortunately have also entered the stomach of the monster. There will be no pieces of meat left.

Seeing Alicia in a daze, Ash sighed, and simply said: "Look around, maybe there is something you can use."

Alicia responded, and just turned around to walk into the cabin, she was taken aback for a moment, stretched out her hand, but she didn't know what to grab, and when she spread her hand, she only felt a slight tingling pain like a needle prick. A little gray bug was sucking blood from the palm of her hand with its sharp mouth pouted, and soon kicked its feet and turned its belly out. It couldn't bear the dark magic power of Alicia's blood, and the blood was strangled to death.

Alicia stared at the strange little bug for a long time, and suddenly seemed to hear the sound of something piercing through the air. She turned her body and lifted the holy sword, blocking a pair of sharp spikes.

"Pay me for bugs!" said the attacker through gritted teeth.

It was a boy who was only two or three years older than Alicia, with dark skin, clothes made of animal skin, and a small round bone-carved bottle hanging around his neck.

"What's that?" As soon as Alicia saw the small round bottle, she couldn't move her eyes away. The familiar feeling was too strong, as if something was knocking in her ear, her heart was beating violently, and she could feel it at any moment. It was like jumping out of the chest, all eyes saw, all ears heard, there was only that small bottle, and even the young man forgot to dodge the attack.

"Lian..." Alicia was still whispering like this when she lost consciousness.

The sneak attacking boy seemed to be taken aback, and he jumped back a big step, looked at it vigilantly for a while, then poked Alicia's back with his spikes, but there was no response. Only then was he greatly relieved, scratching the back of his head and muttering to himself: "Oh, I was scared to death, how did she know my name?"

I don't know how long it took, but I vaguely heard someone calling her name, and opened my eyes in a daze. The first thing Alicia saw was a shabby thatched roof. Just as she was about to sit up, she heard a bang. Only then did she realize that her hands and feet were bound in heavy shackles, her body was also weaker than ever before, and the magic power in her body seemed to be sealed off, unable to flow at all.

And sitting beside her was a strange woman, wearing the same shackles, with two eye-catching marks drawn with a red paint on the forehead and forehead.

"Is it Alicia? I'm Diana, Ashto, let me take care of you." The woman smiled softly, took out a set of clothes from under the pillow by the bed and said, "Change first, wait I still have to work."

"Where are Ash and the others?" Alicia asked, climbed out of the bed, and frowned imperceptibly. The body that had lost its magic power reminded her of the days when she was burned by the holy light, and she was also unable to use magic power. But at least he didn't feel such severe pain, and he wasn't as weak as a cripple, which was probably a kind of luck among misfortunes.

"The men are in the mine," Diana replied.

"Captive?" Alicia guessed, shaking off the clothes Diana took out, you can find that this is a uniform made of prison uniforms, gray and white, rough and wear-resistant fabrics, it looks like a suit The large pockets on the two sleeves, the wide style, can easily pass through the hands wearing the shackle iron ball, and Alicia had to roll the sleeves several times.

When I lowered my head to wash my face, I could see from the reflection on the water surface that I had the same red marks on my forehead as Diana's. It felt as if it had penetrated into my skin, no matter how much I washed it, it would have no effect at all.

"It's the Sealing Demon Pattern." Alicia thought as she touched the two marks.

When they leave the small and simple hut, they can be found imprisoned in a small valley, in a camp built of huts, walking around a few old and weak women wearing the same clothes as them and shackled. In a comfortable place on the periphery, there are some guards wearing animal skins guarding in twos and threes, holding whips and weapons, pointing at this side, and if they see something that is not pleasing to the eye, they will be whipped when they come over.

Alicia didn't know where it was, but from the hazy sky, humid air, and the faint miasma that permeated the surroundings, she could roughly judge that it should be within the boundaries of the boundary river, but she had never heard of it. How can any human beings live in such a harsh environment as the boundary river for a long time.

"Go to work, or you will be beaten again."

Seeing Alicia standing in a daze, Diana said quietly, and took Alicia to the pond in the middle of the valley, filled a sieve made of rattan with ore powder, shook the sieve with both hands, and let the flowing water wash away the impurities After a coarse sieve, replace it with a finer sieve and sieve it finely until a fine black metal particle is picked out.

On the edge of the pond is a noisy and dusty pulverizer, and beyond that is a rotating track, which connects to the entrance of the mine over there. From time to time, someone pushes a small cart out of the deep mine, and the shackles clatter to the ground. The ore is poured into the conveyor belts, and that's where the men work.

Alicia didn't pay attention, shaking the sieve in imitation of Diana, while looking around. Ever since she saw the bone-carved bottle, she had always had a familiar feeling, but because the magic power was blocked, that feeling gradually faded away. It also became indifferent, floating in the air looming, as if it would be weak and cut off at any time, making Alicia feel more and more irritable, and gradually turned into a hidden worry, which must be found quickly, otherwise it will not be able to catch it...

While looking around absent-mindedly, Alicia suddenly saw an acquaintance, not Ash and Heizi, but the same Brun who claimed to be her fiancé, who later had a fight and caused her to lie in bed for several days Te, the dignified second prince of the Stuart Empire, is also wearing the same coarse cloth clothes at this time, with paintings of sealing demons, wearing shackles, pushing ore, and obvious whipping can be seen on the exposed parts of his face and arms. Red and swollen marks, obviously living an extremely hard life.

I don't know why, anyway, Alicia just looked down on the prince. Seeing Brent's life was not going well, she immediately felt happy, and made a big smile on the corner of her mouth, so angry that Brent almost lost his mind. The small mine cart was lifted together.

This mine has really squeezed manpower to the extreme. From dawn to dusk, it is all the heaviest physical labor, but there is only the lowest range of food. There are two meals in the morning and evening, one bread and one bowl of soup, and you can rest for more than ten minutes at noon. , drink a little water, nothing too much, needless to say that Heizi eats as much as he does, and even Alicia can't stand it gradually. Apart from being tired, there is only one left who is hungry, and everything looks like It's delicious, both eyes are glowing green, and when viewed at night, it's almost like a wolf looking for food.

"Big sister, we will die here." When eating that night, Heizi carefully drank his bowl of clear soup, tears fell down, and said with a sob, "I knew I would die in this kind of place." It’s better to die in the city and be eaten by monsters, at least it’s not so boring.”

Although I haven't figured out who the beast-skinned people who captured them are, I can already confirm that they are also human beings, not human-eating monsters. It's just that the cruel treatment of slaves is not much better than monsters. This group of people in this mine are all full of resentment, no matter what they do is possible.

"Wait a little longer." Alicia said flatly, then stood up suddenly, slammed the shackles on Brent who had just sat down, grabbed his bread and threw it to Heizi, "Eat more, build up your strength."

"Disrespectful!" Brent didn't notice Alicia robbed him of dinner for a moment, his face flushed with anger, and he was about to come over to grab it back.

At times like this, Heizi was always very vigilant, and immediately stuck out his tongue to lick the bread, stained it with saliva, and then said with a smile: "I've eaten it, it's mine."

Brent was so angry that his face was on fire, and he stood there disgusted for a long time before choking out a sentence: "When I go back, let my father and king wipe out all of you, this group of untouchables!"
