Chapter 237: Saka's Bitter Journey (Part 2)
Accompanied by the crisp sound of metal collisions and high-pitched shouts, the slaves who had been huddled in the darkness for a long time seemed very confused when they first left the prison car. Thor was no exception. He still looked a little dull and could not even feel the pain. Let him make a little more noise.
The Sakaar overseer, who looked like a big red man, wielded a huge iron whip and whipped the slaves, making them line up and go into the mine.
Thor advanced slowly in the team. In front of it was a green man with a thin body that looked like a dwarf, and behind him was a tire head with four hands and a lower body like a centipede.
In this team, there are all kinds of weird aliens, and there are many creatures that cannot be evolved from this galaxy at first glance. Obviously, they were also thrown into this garbage dump from a distant galaxy tens of millions of light years away. Come.
The civilization of races with the ability to travel across galaxies has become quite advanced. Many alien creatures among them have evolved into pure wise creatures who do not produce anything. Most of them have been pampered in their own ethnic groups. Such torture is very harmful to them. It's unbearable for them.
The green man walking in front of Thor complained in a low voice. His language was like the grunt of a drowning man. It was difficult to understand, but his tone could tell that what he said was not good.
When passing by a Sakaar overseer, his mouth still didn't stop. The strong Sakaar whipped him on the back, and the green man rolled on the ground in pain.
Several Sakaar overseers laughed. They kicked the green man in the stomach and watched him vomit blood, then lay motionless on the ground.
One of the Sakaar men murmured something dissatisfied, picked up the green man and walked aside, then threw the green man into the air like a sandbag, and then landed on a log with a sharpened top. On the thorns, they are skewered like meat skewers.
Thor's lips trembled and his arms moved, but in the end he turned his head back without moving.
But the Sakaar overseers focused their attention on him, because among this group of aliens, Thor's physique was considered very strong.

A whip struck Thor's body, and Thor staggered, fell down, and sat on the ground groaning, but did not speak.
The Sakaar people cursed a few times and kicked him, but he didn't make a sound. This kind of prey that couldn't resist and a toy that didn't make a sound couldn't satisfy the violent and bloodthirsty needs of these Sakaar people. Emotionally, they just grabbed hold of the chains on Thor's shoulders and pulled him up.
Thor was like a sandbag dropped at the end of a rope, dragged and rolled on the ground, then staggered up and returned to the team.
From beginning to end, Thor remained silent, his eyes were shrouded under the deep eyebrows, his face was covered with mud, and his brilliant blond hair was also messed up by the mud, and was tied in locks. The wounds on the side of his face and shoulders began to scab, but before they could heal, blood was drawn from the friction from the pierced spikes.
The pain forced him to hunch his body. Every time he took a step, the chain would slide on the ground and make a "click-click" sound.
The long queue extended outside the Red Ring Mine, and the people in front of it advanced one after another, walking into the dark cave of the mine, as if being swallowed by a huge mouth of the abyss, and those who walked in did not If they make any more noise, maybe they won't get another chance to make a sound.
Fine dust flew out from the edges of the footprints, blood dripped on the ground, and the sound of iron chains continued to surround him. Thor walked to the door of the mine and raised his head slightly. He saw a Sasha who was a little thinner than the overseers. The Karl man stands above the mine cave.
He looked down at the slaves lining up to enter the mine, with deep mockery and malice in his eyes. Thor heard him say in the common language of the Fornax Galaxy: "I gave you trash a chance to be reborn... …I am your God, thank me…”
Then, Thor's back was swallowed up in the shadow of the cave. At the last moment of entering the darkness, he looked back at the huge planet floating on the horizon outside the mine. The planetary rings were floating, hazy and mysterious.
His eyes seemed to be looking across the universe of billions of light years, looking at Asgard and his former hometown with a sense of determination and sadness.
Off-screen Loki was silent.
Loki pursed his lips and said nothing, and his eyes did not move, but stared straight at the magic screen.
Although Sakaar is called a cosmic garbage dump, it is precisely because many high-level interstellar civilizations threw garbage to this place. After their technology was collected by the Sakaar people, a unique technological school was born, which can be called It is a "stitch monster" and can also be called "garbage secondary utilization".
In short, Sakaar has a good technological level, at least higher than human technological level, but the reason why they still need to pick up "garbage" as slaves and let them mine manually is because the minerals in the Sakaar mine are very Special, mechanical mining cannot be used.
The Red Ring Mine is a large mine in the southern part of Sakaar. It belongs to the ruler of Sakaar, the "Red King". It is rich in a special mineral called "Sakaar Rock". The special characteristics of this mineral are The point is that there must be real creatures observing it before it will appear, otherwise it will be nothingness.
Without the gaze of intelligent life, it would not appear. Therefore, many slaves are needed to enter dangerous mines to keep an eye on these minerals with observer effects. After processing, the Saka Star Rock will become the favorite of many advanced interstellar civilizations. The core material of the invisible stance has good sales in the interstellar market.
Because of this, Sakaar has a fairly mature industrial chain. Garbage dump owners like Red Wing squat in the places where aliens often throw away garbage, collect all kinds of garbage, and drop the garbage as it falls. The aliens who came down were also collected.
The big red guys are equivalent to long-distance truck drivers. They are responsible for transporting these alien slaves from the garbage dump and pulling them to the mines for them to work.
After these slaves enter the mine, although they do not have to perform extremely demanding physical labor, this does not mean that the work here is easy. It can even be said that if they have the opportunity to be favored by these long-distance drivers, they will be sent to the gladiatorial arena and all kinds of terrifying Fighting alien monsters is already very lucky, because once entering the mine, the mortality rate of slaves is 100%.
Because the mining of Saka Star Rock is not in a mine in the physical sense, but in a collapsed dimensional fragment, once it involves the fragmentation of space and the collapse of dimensions, the degree of danger can be imagined.
After Thor was brought into the mine, he was assigned to the southern area. The leading Sakaar supervisor said: "You are lucky, trash, this is the mining site that His Majesty the Emperor likes, so we will let him If you live longer, if you understand the terrain here, you may have a chance to become an old miner and survive here. "
As he told the story, after Thor walked through the cave, what appeared in front of him was not the kind of mine he had seen before, but a huge abyss filled with endless galaxies. There were some mirror-like rhombuses in the abyss. The fragments are floating crosswise, and there are many dazzling lights attacking these fragments.
Among the intricate fragments, there were brackets made of wood with special patterns carved on them. Slowly going down along a circular staircase attached to the wall, Thor saw that there were various aliens lying on these on the stand, and then stared in one direction.
The one closest to him was a humanoid creature, but its legs and hands were longer. Because of its slender limbs, he had an advantage. He used his long limbs to hug the carved log.
Then, Thor saw that when a fragment suddenly lit up, the alien pressed a button embedded in the bracket, and a laser hit it. The fragment scattered into dots of light, and then was cast by a magic The balls of light were collected and floated to the other side.
The miner farther away from Thor was not so lucky. It was also a flash of fragments. After he pressed the button, the laser hit it, but it did not break the fragment. Instead, it reflected many small lasers. The shots flew out, and many of them hit the wooden supports where many miners lived. In an instant, shouts and curses rang out.
Then, a long tentacle pulled the failed miner away from the log support he was holding tightly. Then, Thor saw that there was a huge fish mouth in the direction of the tentacle. Rolling up the miner and throwing him into the fish's mouth, he disappeared completely without even being able to scream.
"You have to work hard." The voice of Sakaar's supervisor came: "Otherwise, he will treat you as food."
Thor was driven by the overseer to the lowest log support, and was whipped. After he stepped on the log, he chose a support to stand on, but at this height, there were very few glowing fragments.
"You must press the button when the star rock is shining. Remember, it must be when the light is the brightest. If it is too early or too late, the mining laser cannot break the star rock and mine the ore, and the laser will be destroyed. If the support underneath you falls, of course you will be dead."
The supervisor sneered twice and said, "Of course, don't think that being lazy will help. If you don't succeed even once a day, just wait to be turned into food at night..."
When he said this, the entire support suddenly shook, and a huge "rumbling" sound came from the bottom of the starry sky. The strong supervisor staggered, and there was even an alien who had just stood on the support. They were thrown off directly. The old miners above them all took advantage of their size to hold on to the support.
"In the Broken Dimension, shocks are very common. If you don't want to die, just hold on tight."
Thor also almost fell. Only now did he realize that the big red man who carried him over had deep malice, because he inserted spikes and chains into one of Thor's shoulders, causing Thor's arm to be completely damaged. Unable to exert force, he couldn't hold on to the brace for long in this situation.
But Thor didn't react. His eyes were still dull and his movements were slow. He had just stabilized his body when another tremor came. He had been shaken to the edge of the support, but he did not adjust his posture at all. mean.
At this time, Loki, who was lying on the hospital bed, was repairing his body very quickly, or in other words, the venom was working very efficiently. Half of his body had gradually recovered from the shadow. Then Schiller saw the mine in the magic screen. The moment the hole trembled, one of Loki's hands firmly grasped the guardrail.
Strange also saw this action, and he and Schiller looked at each other.
Schiller whispered: "Someone is going to get upset...but I won't say who it is."
