393: Chapter 380 Are the stones here edible?

The "Great Dao Saint Physique" within Lin Feng possesses the perverse characteristic of devouring all things and converting all energy.

The shackles originally intended to absorb Lin Feng's Qi, but as soon as they made contact, they were counter-attacked by the tyrannical Law within Lin Feng's body.

Not only did it not absorb a shred of Qi, but instead, the energy stored inside the shackles to maintain the Seal was frantically pouring back into Lin Feng's body.

[External energy source detected.]

[Reverse assimilation in progress...]

[Assimilation complete.]

[New equipment acquired: Portable Energy Bracer (Adjustable Gravity version, includes automatic charging function).]

Lin Feng was overjoyed.

This wasn't a torture device at all; it was clearly a delivery of equipment!

This gang was actually quite nice.

But on the surface, he still pretended to be hollowed out and tottering, weakly saying: "Oh my... I'm so dizzy... I have no strength left... Big Brother, can you go a little easier..."

Wang Meng was very satisfied with this effect.

It seemed this kid had already been crippled.

"Hmph, take him down! Tattoo a number on him!"

An expressionless guard walked over, holding a Qi needle shimmering with cold light, and ruthlessly pierced a string of numbers onto Lin Feng's left arm.

9527.

"Kid, forget your previous name. From now on, this is your designation." The guard said viciously, "Remember, you are Miner 9527, the lowest existence here! Even a dog is more noble than you!"

Looking at the number on his arm, Lin Feng was not angry; instead, he almost laughed out loud.

9527?

Is this a tribute to Stephen Chow? This is too coincidental.

"Okay, Officer, no problem, Officer." Lin Feng nodded and bowed, looking sycophantic. "Um... may I ask if you provide meals? I'm a bit hungry. I heard our food here is pretty good?"

The surrounding guards and onlookers were stunned.

Is this kid a fool?

He's about to go to that Hell for death row prisoners, and he's still thinking about eating?

Wang Meng looked at Lin Feng like he was an idiot: "Provide meals? Hmph, as long as you can mine 'Grandmist Amethyst', never mind food, you can even have women! Take him away!"

Lin Feng was pushed by two guards toward the depths of the mining pit, which looked like the mouth of a giant beast.

Along the way, although his hands were shackled and he looked dejected, in reality, if he wanted to, the shackles would turn to dust with just a little effort.

But he didn't do that.

Because he felt that the energy in the shackles, after being converted, was slowly tempering the bones of his wrists, and even repairing some of the hidden injuries he had sustained while passing through the space-time turbulence.

"Hmm, this free physiotherapy device is quite useful." Lin Feng felt great. "It can deceive others while letting me freeload energy; it's truly great. Let me go see what this Grandmist Amethyst is; it sounds like it might be delicious."

Lin Feng, who had just arrived, thus began his undercover life in the Hongmeng Realm as death row miner 9527.

But what he didn't know was that his arrival would completely subvert the ecological chain of this mining area and even topple the entire Black Fiend Gang.

Black Fiend Mining Area · Deep in Mining Pit No. 9.

This is Hell.

If the surface was dim, then this place was a deep abyss of despair.

There was not a sliver of light, only the dim, yellowish Spirit Stone lamps swaying above the miners' heads.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur, the rotting stench of blood, and the sour odor of fermented sweat.

Countless ragged, emaciated miners were crawling on the steep rock walls like ants, striking the hard rock again and again with the special iron picks in their hands.

Some of them were human, some were Yao Race, and there were even some strange alien creatures.

But without exception, everyone had hollow eyes, as if they were Walking Corpses.

Their hands and feet were shackled with heavy chains, and their bodies were covered in whip marks.

"Move faster! Didn't you eat?!"

"If today's quota isn't met, there will be no 'Spirit Dissolving Soup' tonight! You'll all starve to death!"

The supervisor's roar and the sound of whips striking flesh echoed in the vast mine cave, making one's hair stand on end.

Lin Feng was brought to the most remote and harshest corner.

It was cold and damp, and the rock walls had a deadly black color.

"9527, this is your workstation."

The supervisor threw him a rusty iron pick and a broken bamboo basket, pointed to the pitch-black rock wall in front, "This area is the 'Dead Rock Zone'. It has extremely high hardness, but the probability of producing high-quality 'Grandmist Amethyst' is also high.

Your task today is to dig out one standard unit of Amethyst.

If you can't dig it out, tomorrow I'll feed you to the 'Spirit Devouring Beast'!"

After speaking, the supervisor turned and left, not believing that Lin Feng could complete the task at all.

Because this rock wall was difficult for even a Divine Weapon Rank Cultivator to chisel open, let alone a newcomer with no Qi who was wearing restriction shackles.

This was basically a death sentence.

Lin Feng weighed the iron pick in his hand; it was too light, like a toothpick.

And the pickhead was dull; he estimated it couldn't even cut tofu.

He looked at the miner next to him.

That was an old man with gray hair and only one arm.

He was completely naked, wearing only a rag around his waist, and was struggling to swing his pick.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Sparks flew everywhere.

The old man used all his strength to strike down, shaking his hand until it split and bled, but only an insignificant white dot was left on the rock wall.

"Cough cough... Young man... Don't waste your effort."

The old man glanced at Lin Feng and said powerlessly, his voice as hoarse as sandpaper, "This 'Black Fiend Dead Rock' is incredibly hard; without Qi reinforcement, it's impossible to dig.

We are all... people waiting to die here.

Save your strength, perhaps you can live another two hours."

Lin Feng smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Grandpa, I think this stone looks quite brittle; is it really that hard to dig?"

The old man shook his head, thinking this young man had been scared silly and started talking nonsense.

Lin Feng walked to the rock wall without using the broken pick.

He threw the iron pick aside, then extended a finger and gently poked the black rock.

[Material analysis: High-density carbon-based polymer, containing trace amounts of Grandmist Purple Qi and high-energy minerals.]

[Hardness Rank: A+ (equivalent to Low Grade Divine Artifact material).]

[Consumption suggestion: Crunchy, tastes like chicken.

Rich in various trace elements, eating raw is recommended.]

"Huh? Consumption suggestion?"

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then remembered that his Great Dao Saint Physique indeed had the ability to devour all things and digest everything.

"This thing can be eaten? And it tastes like chicken?"

Lin Feng immediately became interested.

He had ascended from the Primordial World, and although he didn't lack energy, his mouth was indeed a bit bland.

Moreover, this new body seemed to have a natural craving for high-energy substances.

"Then let's have a taste?"

Lin Feng rubbed his hands together.

Under the gaze of the one-armed old man who looked at him like he was a madman, he directly extended both hands and plunged them into the incredibly hard Black Fiend Rock.

"Puchi!"
