"Huh?" The leading man was stunned. The force he had just used was enough to kill an ordinary dog, but he never thought that it escaped. He naturally thought that the dog was a little unusual, but he didn't care much, it was just a dog. He just turned his head and glanced in the direction of Xu Feng, and then sneered with an ambiguous meaning!

"Snap!" A man on horseback at the back of the horse team understood what he meant and whipped Xu Feng hard with a whip. Fortunately, there was clothing blocking him. In order to avoid accidental injury and bleeding, Xu Feng chose sturdy and durable clothing, so he did not get injured or bleed, but the force still made Xu Feng feel unbearable pain.

"Go!" After giving the talkative Xu Feng a lesson with a whip, the leader of the horse team gave an order and the huge team began to move forward. Xu Feng had his hands tied and was tied to the others with a rope, so he could only follow passively.

In the following time, Xu Feng truly witnessed the cruelty of these people. Whenever they encountered ordinary people in groups of three or five, as long as they were young and middle-aged, they were arrested by them for crimes against the Shangguan family, just like Xu Feng.

There were even some young, good-looking women who were dragged into the woods or hidden places by the lecherous men in the horse team with lewd smiles and raped! If their parents and brothers dared to resist, their hands and feet would be broken at best, or they would be killed on the spot at worst.

In broad daylight, the helpless and miserable voice of the girl could be heard faintly, which made Xu Feng feel a chill. As for the other ordinary people who were captured like him, except for a few who showed expressions of anger and reluctance, most of them seemed numb and resigned to their fate.

Xu Feng clenched his fists tightly, but he could do nothing. Although he knew that warriors regarded ordinary people as ants and did not take them seriously, knowing and experiencing it personally were completely different things. These people deserved to die.

Of course, he could use the escape technique to escape. The rope was not tied very firmly and could be untied with a little effort using his teeth. But he really wanted to know what these lackeys of the Shangguan family wanted to do by capturing ordinary people like them! From communicating with those who were also captured, he learned that they were all from Hongwu Town, Niandu Town and Xuesong Town.

In order to capture spiritual creatures, a large number of warriors poured into the three towns. With so many warriors crowded together, especially with many of them who were usually lawless, there would naturally be friction and fighting. Once the strong warriors started fighting, the destructive power was amazing, and they didn't care whether they would hurt ordinary people. Therefore, they caused great property losses and personal injuries to the locals.

Based on the principle of "if you can't afford to offend, avoid it", many residents of the three towns chose to temporarily leave the town to take shelter from relatives or go to other nearby towns, waiting for those warriors to make enough trouble and finish their business, and then go back after they leave.

Who would have thought that disaster would strike from the sky? Those warriors had clearly left and they thought they could go home, but on their way back they were arrested by people from the Shangguan family on false charges.

Everyone knows that ordinary people cannot get involved in the fight between warriors, and they simply don't have the strength to do so. But the Shangguan family did it so openly. As ordinary people, facing such barbaric and domineering behavior, no matter how unwilling or indignant they are, there is absolutely no room for resistance!

Xu Feng was led by the Shangguan family's horse team like an animal all the way, and finally brought to a dilapidated and abandoned mountain village. There was a large open space in the center of the village, like a square, where two to three thousand people gathered, all young and strong.

Like Xu Feng, they were captured for unknown reasons and had no idea what fate they would face.

The capture of so many people was the result of the efforts of several teams of the Shangguan family.

"Okay, that's about all we can catch. Let's rest here tonight and send them to the mining area early tomorrow morning. Be careful not to make any mistakes. The head of the family has been in a very bad mood recently. If we don't do a good job, the consequences will be serious."

"Don't worry! They are just ordinary people, they won't cause any big trouble!"

"Anyway, these are extraordinary times, so be careful!"

Several horse team leaders were discussing in a makeshift wooden house.

"My lords, Miss Ling requests to see you." Suddenly a subordinate came in to report to them.

"Oh? Please come in!" Although they were the elite of the Shangguan family, this Miss Ling was the personal maid of the second lady of the Shangguan family and was highly valued. Although they didn't know why she came to visit suddenly, they did not dare to neglect her.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ling'er, I'm sorry to bother you!" A young, tall, and pretty woman came in, wearing a light green dress, and her manners were generous and steady. She said in a very soft voice.

"Miss Ling'er, you are too polite. Working for the family is not hard at all. Since you have come such a long way, how can we help you?" several people asked politely.

"I'm here on behalf of the young lady to select a few miners. Is that convenient?" Miss Ling'er said with a smile and curved eyebrows.

"Convenient! Of course it's convenient! This is a trivial matter. Miss Ling'er can choose any of the miners here and take any one she likes." They did not ask about the purpose of selecting the miners. The less you know about some things, the safer you are!

"Okay, then thank you very much, everyone!" Ling'er smiled sweetly, bowed, and then followed them outside!

In the empty field, everyone was trapped in the center of the village, sitting on the ground, surrounded by Shangguan family warriors holding weapons to guard them. Fear, confusion, anger, helplessness, despair and other emotions filled their hearts.

Miss Ling'er, led by several horse team leaders, shuttled among the miners, pointing out one person from time to time, as if she was selecting goods. Soon more than 20 miners were selected, and Xu Feng was also selected by chance. He observed carefully and found that most of the selected people were in their early twenties, with regular features and fair skin. They had never done any rough or heavy work and looked a little weak.

Xu Feng originally planned to use the escape technique to leave after being sent to the destination, but he didn't expect something unexpected to happen. Now he had no choice but to wait and see what the Shangguan family was up to. Soon, Miss Ling'er hurriedly took Xu Feng and more than 20 others away from here!

Three carriages were speeding along the avenue. Inside the crowded carriages, the chosen people had no idea where they would be taken, and their faces were filled with fear and confusion.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped. More than 20 people were taken to a farm. It was already late at night, and after they had a simple meal, they were arranged to rest in their accommodation. The guards strictly warned them not to try to escape, otherwise they would bear the consequences.

Perhaps the idea that ordinary people in this world cannot resist warriors has been deeply rooted in their bones, just like in the ancient times of Blue Star, ordinary people did not dare to resist the government! After a night of trembling, everyone was taken to a hall after breakfast the next morning. The woman named Ling'er appeared again.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. I brought you here not to hurt you, but to have a great event. If any of you can seize the opportunity, it will be just a matter of time before you succeed." Miss Ling'er asked everyone to sit down and said with a smile.
