They are said to be free miners, but in fact most of them are deceived.
When I came here, I said well that as long as I complete the mining amount, I can get the spiritual stone rewards I deserve.
In places like the Dark Clan, where the energy and aura of heaven and earth are thin, those treasured places suitable for cultivation have long been occupied by major forces and clans.
The richer the energy aura of heaven and earth is, the more it will be occupied by powerful clans and powerful forces.
For ordinary warriors, the cultivation environment has become extremely difficult and difficult, and they can only rely on spiritual stones to assist them in their cultivation.
And spiritual stones themselves are valuable, and their prices have skyrocketed in this dark realm.
Loose cultivators and even disciples of small forces can only find ways to earn spiritual stones, one of which is hunting witch beasts to obtain witch pills and treasure bones.
Becoming a miner is also one of them, and you will be paid a lot of money.
But after arriving at the mining area, everyone discovered that they had been cheated.
Not only was the reward promised by the Black Lotus Sect not available, but it also directly controlled people.
Anyone who dares to escape will be beaten to death.
There are strong men guarding this place, and a large area nearby is the territory of the Black Lotus Sect. There is no possibility of escape, and we can only accept our fate.
Whether it is a slave miner or a free miner, the ore mined every day will be handed over to a dedicated person to collect it. If there is not enough ore, he will be severely whipped and tortured, but he will not really be beaten to death.
Because there is value in living here, you will continue to be forced to mine stainless steel crystals.
Even if he dies, he will become food for the Black Lotus Sect's shaman beast mount.
It can be said here that it is impossible to live without dying.
However, the Black Lotus Sect also gave people hope.
Regardless of whether you are a slave miner or a free miner, if you really mine extremely high-grade fine steel crystals, or if you mine a certain amount of fine steel crystals, you will still be given a huge reward, and then you can leave freely.
Someone can indeed be paid every month, which has become everyone's hope.
"No matter what the noise, please be quiet. If you are so energetic, it seems that the daily mining volume for you is still too small!"
There is an overseer outside the cave who looks fierce and has cold eyes.
Hearing this, the cave suddenly became as silent as cicadas.
"Boss, we have entered a dark cave."
Du Xiaohei muttered through the message, but he never really cared.
"Let's take a look at the situation first," Du Shaoling responded.
In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was still dark, the people in the cave were called out to enter the mine for mining.
Yesterday, two more people who were already dying and weak died, but they were still dragged out to feed the wizard beasts.
Human life, or the life of a warrior, seems worthless here at this moment.
Here, the law of the weak and the strong is vividly demonstrated!
"How dare you run!"
"ah……"
Not far away, there were shrill screams and wails.
Several people were imprisoned and unable to move. They were being eaten alive by several small ferocious birds and beasts. Their eyes, noses, ears, and faces were all stained with blood. It was horrible to look at, and they were wailing and shrill.
shocking.
These are a few miners who tried to escape, but failed. They are being tortured at this moment and cannot survive or die.
"You guys who haven't been weaned, don't go in, go pick up ore."
A supervisor took Du Xiaohei down. He was too small to enter the mine and could not dig out the ore.
Du Xiaohei wanted to get angry, but Du Shaoling signaled him to stop him and wait until he went to the mine to explore the situation.
Entering the mine, everyone is given mining tools, which are not made from ordinary iron.
The dark mine, with dim vision, seems to lead to the underground.
If this collapses, let alone the Martial King Realm and the Martial Commander Realm, the Wu Zong Realm will probably be buried in it.
Du Shaoling was also a little nervous.
A mine collapsed just last night, and I don't know how many people were buried. I hope that nothing will happen to me in this mine.
After half an hour, Du Shaoling really went deep into the mine, and there were energy fluctuations in the depths.
"Clang!"
Many miners are already skilled in mining, making a sound of gold.
Mining real steel crystals from hard rock walls is not an easy task, and it is extremely consuming even for warriors.
The entire mining area is very large, and these mines contain fine steel crystals, but they are not everywhere.
These fine steel crystals are hidden deep in the rock wall, and the surrounding rock wall is extremely hard, making it difficult for ordinary people to dig out.
Even if a Martial Commander-level cultivator spends a day digging, this is not an easy task.
"Hurry up and wait!"
"If you can't dig out the portion, it will be easier for you!"
There was a supervisor who patrolled without time and was armed with a long whip. Many miners were whipped, but they did not dare to resist at all!
Following the example of others, Du Shaoling began mining.
Two hours later, Du Shaoling actually mined a piece of fine steel crystal the size of a baby's fist.
It's only the size of a baby's fist, but weighs a hundred kilograms, and is filled with energy fluctuations.
This is indeed a genuine stainless steel crystal.
According to Du Shaoling's understanding, this fine steel crystal, which is the size of a baby's fist, is not worth less than a two-star spiritual stone of the same size.
This is a good material for weapon refining, but after many times of hard work, it is difficult to refine a single weapon from these thousands of fine steel crystals.
Of course, a weapon completely forged from this fine steel crystal would be of astonishing value.
For a whole day, from dawn to dusk, Du Shaoling mined fine steel crystals in the mine. This was really not a human thing to do.
However, Du Shaoling also confirmed that the fine steel crystals in this mine were genuine, and the entire mining area should contain a lot of them.
dusk.
Everyone walked out of the mine, but it was not that the mine was not open for mining at night, but that another group of miners entered and continued mining at night.
Some miners did not dig enough and were beaten severely when they came out of the mine. They were bloody and miserable, and they kept begging for mercy.
If the quantity is sufficient, you can get some dry food and water, and you are not allowed to stay any longer. The branch office rushed back to the cave to rest.
"Boss, I got some information!"
Du Xiaohei has returned to the cave and has found out a lot of information.
No one paid much attention to a two- or three-year-old child.
Du Xiaohei was doing some chores today and got a lot of information.
The entire mining area is very large, with tens of thousands of miners mining a lot of fine steel crystals every day. Every seven days, a strong man from the Black Lotus Sect will come to hand over the fine steel crystals and take them away.
And tomorrow is another seven-day period, and there will be strong men from the Black Lotus Sect who will collect the fine steel crystals for these seven days.
"I have come to the Wuzong Realm, but I don't know what level the Wuzong Realm is at."
Du Xiaohei sent word that this was the news he had inquired about. Those who came to collect the fine steel crystals were from the Wuzong realm, and those guarding this place were also from the Wuzong realm. But when they reached the level of the Wuzong realm, they could not find out.
