A Tide Brings New Changes

Everyone dispersed and some were ok with it, some were disheartened as it meant that they would have increased workload and the probability of being punished and attacked by the cave beasts increased. While that happened we rushed over to Vick and helped him walk back while murmuring about the unfairness. " Guys it's ok, it's just another 10kg we just need to work together for those who can't manage" Vick responded with a smile while we just looked at him chuckling.

" Yeah we can do it if we work together, '' Shelly responded. '' All we need to do is help those among us who are tired keep switching out" Will replied. " This is a great idea, we should do so in order to survive, then let's get out of here , oh and remember to help Nile he's the youngest out of all of us" " No I don't need it so it's alright" Nile replied quickly as he needs alone time and even if he hangs out with everyone he would be considered the introvert of the group and he needs to finish his quest or else.

We all went to sleep and proceeded with the plan while I mined for four hours and had extra jade ore just in case the others needed it . "Status" Nile called out.

" You gotta be kidding me , oh well it should be easier than the first one " as this was said the bell rang and everyone was excited but before that i gave some extra ore to the other 12 for those that didn't complete the quota and they were surprised as they looked astonished someone shorter and younger than them could get this much. They even gathered and asked " What, how did you do it?" Shelly asked , " Yeah, is there some technique even with me? It took so long" Hugh asked fervently, " Teach us so we can do it too" Mia looked at me with stars in her eyes.

" Ahh i just do the same thing just sometimes a lot falls out" Nile replied ' I can't just say I can see through and calculate where to get the largest amount of ore' Nile thought " Well lets go or else we'll be punished" Nile said quickly. Everyone looked panicked until they finally got up to run to the report area. " Looks like some of you thought I was joking" The merchant pointed at a few people and told them to get up and saw them sweating with terror. " Do you know your mistake" The merchant asked then they immediately kneeled down pleading " Master please I was exhausted" One of the 4 men said " master we beg mercy I have to work for my daughter and wife and me as well on the site thats 60Kg" Another of the men said " Yes please we beg for amnesty."

" You think your qualified to ask me for anything and whose fault is it for not obeying my orders'' The merchant said " and you with your wife and daughter ha, I made good use of them with my son when they arrived but after a few times they went quiet so I was going to sell them but unfortunately they committed suicide, not lying though they both were pretty good" The merchant sneered with a wicked smile " What do you mean" everyone was astonished wanting to know what was meant .

" Oh when we brought you here i said if you did more work i'll let all of you go but i was just bored one day so I though I should taste some delicacies but you know a father must share meat with his kin and friends so I brought my on as well, you should have seen your daughter calling out your name screaming and your wife I'm sure the guards and my son appreciate it very much" the merchant said to him looking at him with a sneer." Bring their bodies" the merchant said to the guards as they threw the bodies on the ground in front of the man.

Everyone looked horrified at how battered the corpses were and they looked like they died recently. The man got up and walked to the corpses not even shedding a tear just hugging them then he turned around to the merchant and started laughing madly "HaHahahahahahahahahahahaha" he then ran up to the merchant and threw a punch at him and then got tackled to the ground by the guards and started shouting " I'll kill you, you piece of shit I'll murder your whole family, I'll skin your son and feed him to the dogs" as his rant continued the merchant stomped on his head and it exploded like a watermelon " You see anyone of you dare to confront me know that your lives are whatever i can do with, you slaves have no privilege and must only obey me or else" the merchant sneered then he gave a signal and the guards killed the other men as well.

Everyone dispersed and went home but as soon as the 13 of them reached the little shacks there was silence. " This is how the world works the strong make the rules take and do whatever to those weaker and more untalented than them" Vick sighed while saying and looking at his wounded leg in fright " We have to work together and be careful as we are just regular people especially when there might be a beast tide coming" Will proclaimed while everyone looked at him in shock " What do you mean" Zor looked at will speechlessly.

" I overheard it from the guards 2 days ago thinking that its a joke or we wouldn't be affected due to being in the mining vicinity but it looks like the increased work is due to it" Will explained everyone was stunned again " Don't worry though we are safe in the facility right" Shane asked " We just have to hope" Vick responded desparidly.

' To think this is how we are treated, sold,abandoned ,kidnapped. In their eyes we are just pigs to the slaughter, especially the beast tide. I need to start working fast,' Nile thought. Just like that 3 days went by after the incident and I finally created the spells but these just ate my points just because of the effects.

" Now i'm ready I've created the spell circle matrix system which coordinates mana to power commands so this should be enough safety" Nile replied just when he was about to sleep since it's the end of the day the ground started shaking and everyone woke up in a panic looking outside for the cause until they and sw the guards shouting for the slaves to get on the carriage. We reached but we were in the last one with the Qi sword cultivator Ping from last time looking at us and the merchant was there with him as well. They immediately set out seeing the hundreds of beasts chasing them gradually gaining and even Ping and the merchant were sweating.

They went in front of the cart like they were discussing something and when they looked at us we shivered even as a new mage it was like being looked at by a predator. " Well everyone we have discussed that you have done very good in your time staying here and we would like to reward you for your work" the merchant looked at them as if he saw a chance he then took out stacks of paper then tore them and each of the collars fell off as we were smiling at being free the next thing showed us why this was.

" You will be used to divert some of the beast's attention as this is the price for freedom, at least your wastes are good for something" Ping looked at them with disdain as he cut the part of the carriage carrying them and left them behind " After all we need you guys to run a good distance away from us" the merchant looked at us as if he were throwing away trash .

Now we understand we can't stay far from the contracts and live targets we last more time as everyone including me had at least we brought the pickaxes but will that even help the situation this is the moment where we die or live and as we looked at the figure of the carriage disappearing we chose to fight to the death while running in the forest.
