Chapter 579: Chapter 578: You’ve Got Guts

The mine’s execution ground was vast, almost the largest open space in the entire mining area.

Here, it was a small dam in the mountains.

The flat ground in the middle of the mountains was designated as the execution ground, and the surrounding hills had been carefully crafted into rows of spectator seats, transforming the whole execution ground into an arena.

Often, the nobles of Gu Country could also come here to watch the slaves kill each other.

However, these past few days Gu Country was not very peaceful, and those nobles did not come; the arena had a rare day of quiet.

Usually, unless there were big bets involved, Prince Tito would not come here, but today was different.

"Get all those people from Earth into the arena!" Prince Tito had a special seat in the eastern part of the execution ground. Today, he sat there, one arm around a beautiful Gu Country woman, happily watching the scene in the execution ground.

In just a while, the fierce Gu Country Soldiers escorted over a thousand slaves from Earth into the arena, all kneeling in rows.

Everyone was shackled, everyone was furious, yet utterly helpless. Squads of Gu Country Soldiers wielding iron whips whipped anyone they disliked, making cracking sounds.

Many people, despite being strong cultivators with solid bodies, were still lashed until their flesh split open.

"Pah, fed up."

Prince Tito coldly watched, a bloodthirsty smile on his face, ceaselessly pulling a nearly naked Gu Country woman into his arms, groping her.

That Gu Country woman immediately made a seductive moan, causing Prince Tito’s grip to tighten.

Meanwhile, in the execution ground, many people from Earth also saw Prince Tito, and suddenly, people began to roar recklessly:

"I want to eat!"

"I won’t go down the mines without food!"

For a moment, no one knew how many people were yelling, filled with voices of anger and the sound of iron whips lashing on human flesh.

Prince Tito sneered, watching his soldiers whip fiercely, then spat on the ground, stood up, walked to the edge of the stands, looking down at the slaves from Earth below.

"What a bunch of trash." He laughed coldly, full of disdain: "Are the people of Earth useless as slaves unless they are fed and housed?"

Prince Tito’s disdainful and contemptuous voice spread, and suddenly, the execution ground went quiet.

"Do you know?" A ferocious smile appeared on Prince Tito’s face: "This time, too many slaves were delivered here, way too many. My mine wasn’t supposed to need so many. But my imperial brother insisted on sending all the people from Earth here, without considering, with so many people, won’t they need food?"

"Do you want to eat?" Prince Tito spat: "Of course, this prince understands. But do you know, isn’t food supposed to cost money? Today I’ll tell you right here, every seven days, on the first, third, and fifth days, no food allowed! On the second, fourth, and sixth days, if this prince is in a good mood, then you’ll get a mouthful of food!"

Prince Tito sneered, then pulled over a chair and sat down at the edge of the stands, looking smug: "Anyone else disobey?"

Silence, in the vast execution ground, only the wind blowing and the sound of chains dragging could be heard.

The slaves all had dreadful expressions, holding back their anger.

"Cowards." Prince Tito waited a while, then very disappointed, spat out again toward those below.

It seemed the name Prince Tito had an effect, soon one of the slaves below suddenly stood up: "I won’t submit! Even if I die, I won’t be a slave to you half-beasts!!"

That was a man who looked to be about thirty, with only a bit of cloth barely covering him, his muscles lashed and torn.

Prince Tito burst into laughter upon seeing him, seeming extremely pleased: "Good, good! What spirit! This prince has always liked men with spirit. Here, give him a bowl of wine!"

Immediately, a Gu Country Soldier carrying a bowl of wine approached the man, extending the bowl: "Drink!"

The man took the wine bowl, but sneered, rage flashing in his eyes: "Drink? Drink your spicy-ass head!!"

With a roar, he smashed the wine bowl to the ground.

The turbid wine soaked the ground and the bowl shattered as well. Nearby, a few Earth slaves kneeling on the ground revealed a worried expression.

Yet, on the stand, Prince Tito burst into laughter again.

"Good, good, good! Brave! I like your spirit! You are a real man, brave!" Prince Tito laughed heartily and bravely drank a large bowl of wine himself.

Then, a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Someone, bring the thing up for me!"

As soon as his words fell, at the edge of the execution ground, Han Si’er led a team of Gu Country Soldiers, carrying a huge copper pillar in.

Besides the copper pillar, there was also a large barbecue charcoal basin.

They placed it down upfront, and then set the copper pillar on top of the charcoal basin, and subsequently, someone ignited a roaring fire within the basin.

The fire was powerful, not an ordinary flame.

And that copper pillar, under the scorching flames, soon turned red-hot, as if it was about to melt into copper juice.

Prince Tito watched gleefully, extremely thrilled, and even his eyes were glowing.

He looked at the robust man and sneered: "You are a real man, I respect you. Come, you are brave, now, walk from this end of the copper pillar to the other end, and I will let you go, how about it?"

Walk across the copper pillar?!

Across the red-hot copper pillar!

For a moment, the air at the execution ground seemed to stop flowing, everyone was stunned staring at the fiery red copper pillar, feeling suffocated.

It was a red-hot copper pillar!

Anyone could see, that was no ordinary fire, nor an ordinary copper pillar.

Even though the people here were Cultivators, they were restrained Cultivators, if one were to walk on it, their soles would probably be cooked or even scorched instantly!

Is that even walkable for a human?

Everyone was extremely tense, all worriedly looking at the standing robust man.

The robust man was also expressionless, and it seemed like his body was trembling.

"What? Are you scared? Haven’t you got any guts? Where is your courage from just now?" Prince Tito’s face immediately turned ugly, but, more so, it was disdain.

"Come on, aren’t you brave? Where is your courage now? Worthless!" Han Si’er also started yelling from the side.

One of the Gu Country Soldiers even walked up, and a whip of iron struck the back of that Earth slave robust man.

Snap!

A loud noise, the man’s back was bloodied.

It seemed that pain jolted him awake, he looked at the fiery hot copper pillar, gritted his teeth, and took a step forward.

"Don’t do it!"

"Dongzi, stay calm!"

"It’s a life-threatening situation, that copper pillar, not to mention walking on it, even getting close would burn you!"

"It’s better to stay alive than to die horribly, Dongzi, don’t be impulsive!!"

Next to him, a few kneeling slaves were extremely anxious, trying to dissuade him.

But, the robust man seemed not to hear the people’s words, his eyes void of spirit, step by step, he walked towards the copper pillar.

"Heh heh, come, beauties, serve the wine and dishes, let’s watch the show!" Prince Tito laughed proudly, waved his hand to summon the beauties, and sat down at the edge of the stand, coldly watching the robust man.
