Chapter 1 Mine Crystal Mining
The sky is dark and gray.
The dark mine is filled with a damp and musty smell that is unbearable.
Hanshui Mine is a light blue ore. Whenever this mine is mined, an inexplicable chill will come out from underneath.
If you hadn't worn a special cotton-padded jacket, the cold wind would have penetrated your bones within a few days of harvesting, turning it into a pool of blood.
Ding! Ding!
Cheng Yuan was wearing a green coat, like an ant, tirelessly digging for ore.
Knock it hard with a pickaxe, and the ore will be broken into fist-sized pieces. A little light blue cold air will come out from it, and your knee joints will immediately feel pain.
"Hoo~"
Cheng Yuan was holding an iron pickaxe, panting like an ox. Then he lowered his head to look at the standing deer hooves, and sighed in his heart: "It's okay to travel through time, and become a half-demon. A deer hooves can't even walk steadily."<
/p>
Two days ago he was still a human, and two days later he was a half-demon.
There are two short golden antlers on its head.
It looks like a human from the waist up, and it looks like a deer leg and hooves from the waist down.
Whoosh—pop~!!
The whip soaked in salt water was raised high in the air, and as Steward Mi raised his arm, he whipped every half-demon mine slave around him in a swirling motion.
The whip fell, first breaking away the linen wrapped around the hand, and then using the force to make bloody splashes on the flesh. Then the salt water mixed with the broken linen cloth seeped into the wound, and the whip was pulled back hard by Steward Mi, who was beaten.
The skin suddenly became sore as if the bones had been ripped out.
Cheng Yuan felt a heartbreaking pain in his head.
But he gritted his teeth and continued to work hard.
"If you dare to be lazy next time, your legs will be broken!" Then there was a shout: "Get out of here!"
The half-demon were lined up in a row by the wall. Although they looked different, their expressions were almost exactly the same.
They are all listless, stooped, legs bent, and eyelids drooped.
It was as if his energy had been drained out, and he was standing there with only a pair of bones to hold him up.
The only exception is Cheng Yuan.
His eyes still have the agility that a living creature should have.
Manager Mi is very particular about his work. Every time he calls out the slaves to lecture them, he will give them a whip.
"Today! I only want to talk about two things!"
Next to him, a guard wearing black clothes and holding a machete hurriedly handed him a cup of tea and rinsed Steward Mi's mouth.
Steward Mi took the tea, held it in his mouth twice and spit it on the ground, saying:
"You are all little cripples. If I hadn't bought you, you brats would have died in some uninhabited corner..."
Like most leaders, Manager Mi likes to talk about other things before getting down to business.
I rinsed my mouth twice more and then started talking about business.
"First, starting from today! Double the production of 'Han Jing'! At least it will be higher than today! Don't even think about bargaining with me!"
"That's right! Sir, I also know your difficulties, and this is the second thing! From now on, I will add some Chixinzhi to your meals to relieve your piercing pain."
Hearing this, the half-demon's eyelids were dozing off, and then they opened their eyes.
A pair of glowing green eyes stared at Steward Mi, like a ghost in the underworld.
Cold water mines are mined day and night. Even with green jackets for protection, the fog is hazy and the cold is too heavy. Every night, joints in various parts of the body will ache, making it difficult to fall asleep.
Chixinzhi is rich in yang energy and can temporarily relieve the pain of cold air entering the bones.
for a while,
Steward Mi was stared at by more than a dozen pairs of green eyes, as if he was in the underworld. Looking at the skinny bodies of the half-demon, he felt even more like he was not in the underworld.
Next time someone from the sect comes to get the cold crystal, I can’t stay here no matter what. Is this a place for people to live?
At this thought, Manager Mi couldn't help but yell angrily.
"What are you looking at! Why don't you go mining!!"
Say it.
The long whip in their hands was raised high again. The half-demon looked at the long whip in the air and then screamed, then hurriedly ran towards the mine.
The cave is dark and damp, and ordinary torches can be easily extinguished, but half-demon can basically see at night, so it doesn't matter if they have it or not.
Cheng Yuan used his fingers to swipe at the entrance of the cave a few times, indicating that the cave had an owner.
Then he limped his left leg and walked in.
Looking through the dim light, he was holding a light blue ore in his hand. A deer leg could not help but tremble. As soon as it touched Cheng Yuan's palm, the blue mist inside the ore seemed to come alive, flowing with the mountain breeze.
Drill straight into your mouth.
The deer half-demon, which did not scream even after receiving a whip dipped in salt water from Steward Mi, was now as frightened as a newborn baby.
In a few breaths, the ore turned into powder from the size of a fist. A wave of heat rushed out of it, and the tremor on Cheng Yuan's face immediately subsided.
There is also a faint blue line on the arm.
Although the name of Hanshui Mine is "Hanshui", after it is broken, a wave of heat will appear to warm the body, and the cold mist coming out of it condenses to a certain extent and becomes "cold crystal".
But the cold mist is invisible, and only the blood of the half-demon can be used as the container. When the mist condenses into a block, Steward Mi will send someone to cut the skin and extract the crystal.
It is said that,
The cold water mine is also a training material specially prepared by the demon clan’s great masters for the poor little demons.
It's a pity that fate has played a trick on people. The consumers who were supposed to enjoy the cold crystal have now become producers who serve others.
A piece of cold water mineral can condense a ray of blue thread, and ten strands can converge into a cold crystal.
Ding! Ding!
The sound of knocking gradually sounded, and the dust and mist in the cave dispersed, making the choking person cough uncontrollably.
The originally narrow mine was filled with dust, coughing and knocking sounds continued, and wisps of dim light shone through the gaps in the rocks, making it look particularly eerie.
Just like that, another day passed by in a hurry.
Dong Dong Dong!
It wasn't until several drum sounds came from the entrance of the cave that the little demons opened their eyes with their rolling eyelids and walked numbly towards the entrance of the cave.
The drum sounds, it’s time to eat.
At the entrance of the cave, Steward Mi glanced coldly at all the half-demon until he saw a ball of blue crystals in each person's arm, then he smiled and said:
"Old rule! Cut the skin first! Then eat!"
A crashing sound sounded.
The half-demon took out the knives on their waists and began to cut their skin. The blue crystals on their arms fell straight into the bowl on the ground along with the bright red blood.
Steward Mi glanced at the cold crystals in the bowl, and then smiled. He bent down and took out the jade bottle from his arms. With a finger, the cold crystals in the bowl jumped into the bottle like flying peas.
"Hahaha! Let's eat!!"
The half-demon licked the wounds on their arms, then picked up the wooden bowl on the ground and walked towards the large cooking cauldron outside.
There was a piece of clear soup in the cauldron with little water. Even if you looked closely, you could not see a trace of oily smell. There were a few black vegetable leaves and pieces of red sesame meat floating on the top, while some gruel settled at the bottom.
Such food is no better than pig food.
Cheng Yuan walked to the cauldron expressionlessly and handed over the wooden bowl in his hand.
A deer-headed half-demon next to the cauldron saw that he was the same kind. He held the wooden spoon tightly in one hand and took the wooden bowl from Cheng Yuan's hand with the other.
The wooden spoon sank hard into the bottom of the cauldron, picked up a large spoonful of rice grains and a piece of sesame meat along the side of the cauldron, and then picked up a vegetable leaf on top, and then handed it to Cheng Yuan.
When Cheng Yuan took the wooden bowl, the deer-headed half-demon just raised his head, full of surprise, and whispered:
"Cheng Yuan?! Aren't you dead?!"
