Who Told Great Xia to Be So Weak?

Someone nearby had already prepared charcoal and was about to put the child on the fire.

Suddenly, someone shouted from the side, "These beasts! It's one thing for them to bully us, but what kind of people are they to bully a little girl like this?"

"Yes, I usually tolerate it, but this is a living, breathing child! I'll fight you to the death!"

"Since we're going to die anyway, we might as well take a gamble."

The mine foremen snorted coldly:

"You lowly commoners think you can rebel? If you like rebelling, then let you rebel to your heart's content."

Tie those troublemakers upside down and make a hole in their heads.

Let them see what happens when they bleed to death.

These men all carried knives, and the miners, who were starving, were no match for these mine foremen.

The woman was also pulled over, and the mine foreman sneered, "Today I'll have my way with you in front of everyone, and after that, we'll come and eat your daughter."

The woman cried out loudly:

"No, you're all worse than animals! It's just a child! Waaah..."

Please let her go! I'll do anything for you.

The mine foreman laughed loudly:

"Then serve me well. If you make me comfortable, maybe I'll let her go. Come on, kneel down."

I'll teach you how to do it! Hahahaha...

A chorus of jeers erupted around them. The woman knelt down abruptly, tears streaming down her face. "Heavens! You have no eyes! Why have you bullied my daughter and me to this extent?"

The mine foreman laughed loudly:

"Because you are weak, this world is a dog-eat-dog world. Who told you to be so weak? Who told Great Xia to be so weak?"

Your Great Xia Kingdom will eventually become a vassal state of our Kingdom of Khotan.

Despair was on everyone's face as Little Pine Tree and Lingbao approached them.

The Little Pine Tree slowly approached these people, Lingbao directly took out the powder.

As the dust settled on the ground, all of them collapsed with a series of thuds.

Zhou Wanwan slowly climbed down from the Old Scholar Tree and said, "What's wrong with the Great Xia Kingdom? Where's your superiority now?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the people on the ground and said, "You like to torture people to death? Then just tie them up and hang them upside down."

Zhou Wanwan untied the ropes binding the slaves and woke them up, saying, "You should leave now! Get out of this place of trouble."

Those people looked at each other, then looked at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"Are you a fairy who has come to save us? Please, I beg you, save us!"

We have nowhere to go. We are slaves now, and there is no way for us to survive anywhere.

Those like them, if they dared to run away, would be considered runaway slaves, and if caught, they would be killed.

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said, "Why don't you all come back with me?"

All the slaves knelt down and kowtowed. Zhou Wanwan looked at Wang Quan beside her and said, "You take them and go first. I'll follow shortly. I'll send people to protect you along the way."

Wang Quan looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "But what if something happens to you?"

Zhou Wanwan shook her head and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Only after Wang Quan had taken all the slaves away did Zhou Wanwan get busy.

There are more than 200 slaves here, all of whom are from the Great Xia Kingdom.

Zhou Wanwan squatted on the ground, talking to a stalk of sheepthorn grass. "Could you tell me where they keep their ore?"

The goatthorn grass shouted loudly:

Who do you think you are? Why should I tell you?

This is the second prince's mine; you are not allowed to linger here. Leave immediately.

Lingbao plucked a handful of the sheepthorn grass and shook it vigorously, saying:

"Sister, wake up! Wake up! How could you risk your life for the Second Prince?"

He's the kind of person who's sly and wicked; helping him is like becoming an accomplice!

The goat's thorn grass roared, "You little monster, let me go! We're both plants, how dare you aid and abet evil!"

Lingbao tossed it aside and sneered, "You're the little monster! I'm a ginseng, what are you?"

A camel thorn bush nearby said:

"It won't say it, I will. It's right over there, can't you see it?"

"It's in that little house over there; it's full of mined ore."

Zhou Wanwan watered it and said, "Thank you so much!"

Camel Thorn nodded and said, "There are still many minerals down there! It's a pity you didn't have time to mine them."

With a wave of her hand, Zhou Wanwan saw hundreds of trees walking towards her, many of which had been collected along the way.

These trees began to fill themselves with the ore.

Zhou Wanwan went straight into the mine, and the roots of the Old Scholar Tree followed her in slowly. It clicked its tongue twice and said, "There's a lot of ore here, and the purity is quite high."

Zhou Wanwan squatted in the mine shaft, looking at the ore below, and said, "I'm afraid we can't dig anymore. Your root systems are too fragile. Let's leave!"

Suddenly, a voice came from inside the mine. A group of desert worms suddenly called out, "Hey! Is anyone up there? Could you give us some water?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the desert wormwood and said:

"Want some water? It's simple, just help me get the ore up from below."

Do you have a way to pry open these ores?

Those desert wormwoods couldn't help but sneer:

"Human, do you even have a brain? Do you think I can move these ore rocks?"

"Given my frail and delicate appearance, is it appropriate for you to make this request?"

Zhou Wanwan tilted her head and looked at them, saying:

"What's wrong with that? There's strength in numbers. If you're willing, I can give you water."

I can also transfer energy to you. You know, the energy I transfer can make you 10 to 20 times more powerful.

Would you like to give it a try?

The desert wormwood stalks were overjoyed. "Yes, of course we're willing!"

Zhou Wanwan immediately began supplying energy to the desert wormwood. These desert wormwood were incredibly powerful; they had already formed a network underground.

Zhou Wanwan supplied them with energy, and soon these desert wormwood plants directly pushed up all the ore.

Zhou Wanwan exclaimed "Ah!" and the desert wormwood quickly and slowly pulled the ore up.

"Hohohohoho... This is so exciting! I feel like I've become so powerful!"

"I feel like I can pry open all the ore." These desert wormwoods are truly insane.

Their root systems are so developed that they are not visible on the surface at all.

However, the edges and corners of these ores were covered with desert wormwood.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the pieces of ore and laughed, "Would you like to come home with me?"

Zhou Wanwan didn't even dare to imagine what it would be like if all of Black Wind Stronghold Village were planted with these desert wormwoods.

How terrifying would that be?

If anyone tries to come to Black Wind Stronghold, they can trip them up or even drag them into a pit.

That felt so amazing.
