Chapter 149 Four months later

More than four months passed in a flash, and Zhao Mai stayed in the slave camp. Although there was not a large number of guards and strict surveillance like a prison, and it was not too difficult to leave, he did not leave. What trapped him was not the stench-filled slave camp, not the big eyebrow that the Gaiss had always been open, nor the eyeliner set up by the Templars, but the slave world. Even if he left the construction site and entered the city, he had nowhere to hide. He was surrounded by whistleblowers, trying to get a part of the reward from the incident of capturing the fugitive slaves. Only by first increasing his strength can he coerce others and protect himself.

Daily torture and suffering have become the norm for Zhao Mai, and it has also become his motivation to improve himself. Whether it is the psychic power or the induction of the natural force, there have been great progress. The suppression collar on his neck has more and more impacts on him. Even without the isolation of the poisonous snake belt, he can use some simple supernatural tricks.

As for physical fatigue, with the support of the natural force, it will not cause much trouble to him. Every morning, he can meet the hard work of the day in fullness, and he does not have to keep it like others for the next day. Therefore, he has never missed the construction period and has not been whipped due to quality problems.

Others don't have such luck. The person who originally shared the same room with him had already changed three times. He either died or was sent to the more terrible iron ore for work because of punishment. He would never see the sun in his life. It's strange that the sun in Atas's sun always brings the heat of death, but embracing the sun is still the wish of every Atas's man, especially at the death.

During this period, he had seen Taixi'an several times on the construction site. At first, he only appeared once, but in the last month, he had appeared as many as six or seven times. Zhao Mai consciously avoided Taixi's attention and never appeared beside him. Hearing the rumors, Taixi'an was reinstated and became a Templar of construction projects. Zhao Mai knew in his heart that the temple tower had become a place of right and wrong and there was not much time left for him.

He never dared to relax his vigilance. Unlike Graleon, he has no friend around him now, and he is really trapped in danger. A temporary relaxation may lead to death. Perhaps only when he is holding the reserved food and when there are flowers to help guard him, he can truly close his eyes and rest.

The temple tower of the Karak Witch King is getting higher and higher. The fifth of the seventh floor has been completed, and the sixth floor has been half completed. The seventh floor has nothing to do with spells, just decoration. From the tall tower, Zhao Mai can look down at the grand arena next door. There are large-scale gladiators or training every day, and blood stains the sand every day. Two times, he saw Butcher and Rikas, plus a strong female fighter, and the three of them cooperated to fight against the twelve warriors on the opposite side.

The trio won the final victory with the death of the female fighter, winning sparse applause and blood. Before the Temple Tower Athletic Conference began, there were no exciting games in the arena, and the audience also limited the number of people. This is to have more participants during the Temple Tower Conference.

These people had no idea that they would become sacrifices, and the Karak Witch King would rely on the power of these sacrifices to transform himself into Atas Dragon, and then covet the throne of the Dragon Emperor.

When the sixth floor is completed, the temple tower will be closed, and it will become impossible to find out the secret plan of the Witch King. Zhao Mai relies on the foresight, and is probably the only person besides the Witch King who can see the spell "Atas Altar" from beginning to end. Before the sixth floor seal, Zhao Mai used this magic circle earlier than the Witch King to help him create a cultivation environment for natural force and spiritual superpowers. In another three days, this convenient condition will no longer exist. According to the Witch King himself, he will descend part of his consciousness to the Temple Tower and use magic barriers to protect it, so no one dares to do anything.

However, the destructors should have appeared, right? Two months ago, Zhao Mai deliberately released news that the Temple Tower would greatly strengthen the strength of the Witch King, and the rule of Tyr City would be even more cruel. Perhaps more than half of the slaves would be "liberated" from the farmland and could be sent to the iron mine for hard labor, and life and death were unpredictable. It is even possible that the actual slaves in Tyr City would be too much more than needed, and a considerable number might be "cut down".

I believe that the "Masked Alliance" among slaves should hear this news. It was a group of fanatics who wanted to overthrow the rule of the Witch King and liberate slaves, beautiful ideals, and powerful intelligence systems, but both power and tactics can only be considered inferior. Zhao Mai would not place his hopes on others, especially the Masked Alliance, but it is still possible to rely on them to make trouble.

The situation has indeed changed recently. The project that was about to be completed suddenly flooded with a large number of slaves. According to these slaves, they were all forced by the Templars when they were working for their original owners. The slave owners who dared to "not" have now become dry bones on the wasteland. It seems that Carac's patience has become worse and worse as the Spell Tower is about to be completed.

In addition to the arena and Temple Tower, Tyr City lost the bustle of the past. Especially at night, the lights were getting less and less, and many cities even became dark deadlands. Even if Zhao Mai did not spread the news, the Masked Alliance should be alert at this time. Doesn’t the Witch King want his rule? What prompted him to do so? These two questions should prompt the Masked Alliance to think and give them enough reasons to destroy the Temple Tower.

Therefore, it is not very meaningful to stay in the Temple Tower. Zhao Mai ordered the poisonous snake to wrap its belt around the suppressing necklace, and then use the spiritual force to its fingertips and twist the collar lock. Only with enough strength and enough clever spiritual force can it be unlocked. After a long time of exploration, Zhao Mai has found the rules, but he has not planned to leave.

With just a click, the shackle left to him by Taixi's neck slowly slid down from his neck. In an instant, Zhao Mai's spiritual power suddenly burst out, cheering, leaping, filling, occupying every nerve in his body. At the same time, the natural force contained in the body for a long time also broke through the blockade, drilled into the dried cells, and showed vitality. Under the ecstasy of both the soul, Zhao Mai almost stood unsteadily, shaking, closing his eyes, and breathing rapidly.

After about half a minute, he gradually calmed down and felt so good that he could fully grasp his body again. He squatted down, did a few push-ups, stood up, and jumped. He was already completely different from himself in the mangroves. His body was lighter, more agile and more dangerous.

Zhao Mai looked down at the pressing collar in his hand, smiled slightly, and hung it on his belt. He needed to find a good reason for his disappearance, and to resolve the grudge between him and several supervisors.

Using the natural force, it still took Zhao Mai several months to completely remove the marks on his waist. How can he go back to see his parents? The Gais man with a bulging eyelid, Zhao Mai knew that he was still alive and knew where he was sleeping. So Zhao Mai waved his hand and let the reserved grain carry flowers and follow him quietly, and then sneaked into the darkness together.
