After a while, the overseer commanded two of his subordinates, carrying the half-dead blonde youth, towards the small black house where Nebula was.

When the overseer opened the small black room, he found that another foreman, Olot, was also in the small black room, he held a torch, and while scolding, he used the leather whip in his hand to whip at a thin figure curled up on the ground, and kept whipping hard.

"Hey! Red Beard! You're too heavy, aren't you? If you beat him to death, won't your money be spent in vain? The bearded overseer stroked his beard and chuckled at Olot.

After hearing the persuasion of the eight-character Hu supervisor, Olote spat at the curled figure, kicked twice, and said to him: "Lao Tzu just remembered that you still bought it for 100,000 gold coins!" I'll let you go today! If you don't confess the person who revealed the news to you, Lao Tzu will come here to beat you as long as he is in a bad mood, and you have to think about it for Lao Tzu."

With that, Olot swaggered out of the small black room.

When the overseer of the bearded beard saw this, he shook his head helplessly, threw the blonde young man with a weak breath into the small black room, locked the small black room, and left immediately

Pain! My body hurts all over my body! As if every corner of his body had been cut by a sharp knife, Nebula gritted his teeth and showed an expression of extreme pain.

His adoptive father, Charlie, had often beaten himself like this before, and he should have some immunity to being beaten, but Nebula felt unprecedented pain, as if his entire body did not belong to him.

Charlie is still an ordinary person and will not be cruel to children, so Charlie's slap is far from Olot's whip.

With each blow Olot, Nebula felt like his bones were about to be torn, and Nebula could even clearly feel the flesh on his back that had been blown apart by the whip.

After being beaten by Olot, Nebula turned pale in pain, and Nebula had to lean sideways against the cold stone wall, because there were many places on his body that had been whipped open and fleshy, and Nebula couldn't do it even if he wanted to lie down and sleep on his stomach.

After a while, Nebula fell asleep on his side against the corner of the wall, but it might be more appropriate to say that Nebula was fainted by pain rather than that Nebula was asleep

★?????????????????? ★

I don't know how long it took, but the blonde young man who had been treated as a dead corpse gradually came to his senses.

"Hmm~~~ My head hurts, and my body feels like it's falling apart! Where am I? The blonde young man slowly opened his eyes and whispered to himself.

The blond-haired young man recalled for a moment, and then as if he had thought of something, he muttered anxiously: "The Zakun expedition has been wiped out except for me, although I barely won the advanced Zakun, but I was attacked by the black mage as soon as I came out, I must tell His Majesty Shinas as soon as possible!" ”

After fumbling for a while, the blond-haired young man leaned against the wall of the small black room and stood up with all his might, ready to send information to his companions stationed in the frozen snow region of the Holy Land.

But the blonde young man stood up with trembling legs for less than a second, and then fell down limply.

"Oops! My body, has my body been eroded to this extent by the forces of darkness!? If I don't find a way to get rid of the dark power left by this black mage in my body as soon as possible, my life will really be over! The blonde young man gritted his teeth and muttered to himself worriedly.

With that, the blonde youth began to probe the condition inside himself.

At this time, the blond-haired young man found that the divine fighting qi in his body had all been suppressed by a huge dark force, and his body was also in tatters, and there were even a few fatal wounds on his body.

The blonde youth knew that with his current condition, let alone standing and walking, it was difficult to even stand up, and his strength was completely suppressed by the dark power, which made it impossible for him to take out some recovery potions from the space ring.

The blonde youth had to look around the darkness with his eyes to see if there were any other dangers, since dangerous monsters like one-eyed bats often appeared in the mines.

The one-eyed bat is a bat-like monster that lives in the abandoned mining area of the Ice Peaks and Snow Regions, and because it lives in darkness, its eyes have degenerated into one, but it has grown huge wings. Although its size is not large, its lethality is not small, and there are often adventurers who don't know its details and are sucked into human dryness.

As the blond boy looked around, he found a weakly breathing, bruised child beside him, and a very thin figure that looked like a refugee in a slum.

"Hey! Child! Are you okay!? Where is this? The blonde youth lay on the ground, tapped the child's uninjured right side of the face with his fingers, and then questioned him.

However, at this time, Nebula had already fainted in pain, and he couldn't hear the blonde young man's questioning at all.

The blonde youth couldn't ask Nebula, so he had to make a judgment based on what he saw.

It's dark here, there is no light, except for a special person like himself who can attach a small amount of soul power to his eyes and see the dark state clearly, this dark state is not suitable for human habitation at all, plus there are no beds, tables and chairs and other daily necessities here, and this bruised and thin child next to him

I'm afraid this is a prison for slaves! And it was a prison built to punish slaves.

A normal human being in this dark condition, even with food and water, can only last three days at most.

People are inseparable from light, and in such a dark situation, negative emotions such as anxiety, fear, and sadness will gradually breed in people's hearts, and finally they are likely to go crazy in the despair of this dark world

This form of punishment is so cruel! What's more, it is only a child who is being punished now, which will undoubtedly cause a great psychological shadow to the child, and if you are a little timid, you may be directly scared to death.

And they put themselves in this dark prison, I'm afraid it's also to scare this child, after all, their injuries are really serious, there are more than ten large and small injuries on the body, if it weren't for their special physique, it is estimated that they would have died of their injuries.

In such a dark environment with no light, a dead man is lying next to you like this!? Even a normal person would feel creepy, not to mention that it was a small child who was imprisoned, which would undoubtedly aggravate the child's fear.

Just as the blonde youth was worried about the child beside him, the blonde youth suddenly sensed an extremely faint aura of light in the corner of this prison.

The blonde young man climbed to the corner of the prison with all his might, and with a sharp dagger with a golden shell tied to his heel, he pried the small stones apart little by little in the corner.

Then, the blond youth saw half a white hedron with a milky glow and a holy aura peeking out from beneath the rubble.

This is a light crystal, and it is a high-level light crystal!!

That's great!! With this light crystal, he was able to use its power to attack the divine fighting qi in his body inside and out, and expel the dark power left by the black mage in his body.

After the blonde youth put the broken stone back, he happily leaned against the corner of the prison, and with the help of the light power of the light crystal under him, he drove away the dark power in his body little by little

★?????????????????? ★

After another two days, Nebula was almost in a state of death all the time, and there was no consciousness at all, even when Olot came to this little dark room and whipped Nebula a few times again, Nebula had no other reaction except for instinctive struggle.

Feeling that Nebula didn't cry and beg for mercy, Olot, who was very bored, had to kick his feet twice and left again.

The blonde youth saw this situation, but he was in the critical period of countering the dark forces, and his body was in an extremely weak state due to lack of water and hunger, so he couldn't stop Olot, so he had to silently apologize to Nebula in his heart.

That night, Nebula barely regained consciousness, but the physical pain made him unable to move, and after not drinking water for a long time, Nebula began to show symptoms of dehydration, and his stomach also gurgled in response to the stomach.

Desperately hungry and thirsty, combined with lying on the cold gravel floor, Nebula felt like he couldn't hold on any longer.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of digging on the wall behind the small black room.

This sound continued for a long time, and when the sound of excavation stopped, the sound of stones being moved suddenly came from the wall behind the small black room.

Then, Nebula saw that one of the bricks and stones behind the small black house had been pulled out by someone, and this extremely dim light seemed to be as dazzling as the sun in the eyes of Nebula, who had been staying in the dark environment.

"Hey~~~ Is it Xiaoxing? Xiaoxing, can you hear me? A young man's voice came through the crack in the brick and stone, and Nebula could tell that this person was Lokis, who had been in the prison next door to him.

Nebula opened his mouth slightly, wanting to answer something, but found that he couldn't make a sound at all, and in a hurry, he could only choose to gently kick the stone wall with his feet and tell Lokis that he heard it.

From the void in the empty masonry, Lokis threw in a few small pieces of moldy coarse bread, a broken iron bowl, and a few tiny icicles.

Then Rockis said to Nebula very softly, "Little Star! I've heard that you've been trying to bring you water and food since you were locked up in a dark room. These breads are the ones I have saved up these days, and the icicles I picked at the mouth of the mine, and I took advantage of the opportunity I had to dig in the mines near here, and slowly dug behind the little black house where you were while the overseers were not looking. I'll deliver food and water every five days, and you'll have to hold on! Don't give up!! ”

With that, Rockis shoved the bricks into the gap and went back to his work
