Gongsun Yan's current identity is an inner disciple of the Wuji Sect. He is at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm. He is just twenty years old and his name is Yao Huan.
In addition, he also learned that the inner sect disciples were almost the lowest disciples sent by the Wuji Sect to Mining Island. They were mainly engaged in chores and transporting Yuan stones, and those responsible for transporting Yuan stones were relatively low-level errands because there was no profit at all.
Those core disciples of the inner sect can take turns going down to the mine to supervise the work and get some oil and water along the way. Of course, the quantity is limited, but they can practice on the spot. Therefore, many core disciples of the inner sect have improved their realm very quickly on the mining island.
Half an hour later, Gongsun Yan and the other five people were brought back to the mining island.
Arriving at the mining island, Gongsun Yan discovered that the island was not large, with a radius of less than a hundred miles. Most of the vegetation on the island had been destroyed. There were fences and formations guarding the island, and there were eight observation towers, and there were probably hidden sentries.
In addition to rows of neat houses on the island, there is also a main hall, which is obviously the office of the mining island.
In addition, the middle area is crisscrossed with wellheads, water chutes, wooden frames, turning wheels, vents, windmills, etc., giving it a full-scale appearance of a mine, but its scale is far greater than that of the mine in the Xianci Mountains.
The five people were first taken to the conference hall in the main hall for questioning, and someone was assigned to record each person's statement. They were then sent back to the "Transportation Team"'s dedicated dormitory to rest.
Lying in the dormitory, Gongsun Yan used this time to start thinking about his next move. He originally thought that he could easily sneak into the mine after entering the mine island, but now it seems that is not the case. The inner disciples who specialize in transporting Yuan Stone can't do it at all.
There is no chance to go down to the mine to oversee the work.
However, this incident may have an important impact on the top management of the mining island. Maybe they will increase the escort force for transporting yuan stones, and then they may have the opportunity to go down the mine.
Sure enough, one day later, the deacon came over and informed Gongsun Yan and the five of them that they were all assigned to help in the kitchen.
In the future, the task of transporting Yuan Stone will be undertaken by the core disciples of the inner sect, and a Daocheng Realm elder will be responsible for escorting it each time.
This time, the Wuji Sect was "robbed" of tens of millions of high-grade Yuan Stones. The sect was very angry, and Ren Daocheng was also fined with many contribution points, which made him very depressed.
Hearing the news, Gongsun Yan was secretly surprised. He hadn't had time to check the seized rings, but he didn't expect there to be so many high-grade Yuan stones.
However, he was also a little depressed. He was assigned to help in the kitchen. It seemed that he was destined to be a cook, but he didn't know if he would have the opportunity to go down to the mine.
In the afternoon, Gongsun Yan and the other five went to the kitchen to report.
Gongsun Yan saw dinner being nervously being prepared in the kitchen. In addition, he also saw a place filled with plates of dry food neatly stacked.
After being introduced by the kitchen steward, I learned that these dry rations were distributed to slaves in the mines, and were distributed once every five days.
The first day's task for Gongsun Yan and the other five people was to distribute dry food to the slaves. There were twenty-five inner disciples who went down to the well to distribute dry food each time. In this way, each person had to deliver dry food to about two thousand slaves.
and drinking water, this is not an easy task.
After the kitchen manager explained the tasks clearly to the five people, he gave each of them an underground mine tunnel route map, which marked the area that each person was responsible for. He finally said:
"I would like to remind you that you must strictly follow the route map. You must not enter unnumbered mines casually. Not only are they dangerous inside, but it is also easy to get lost in them. The underground mines are like a maze. Once
If you are lost, even the Tao Cheng Realm experts will not dare to go in and save you. You will have to seek your own blessings. Since the mining of the mining island, nearly a hundred disciples have been lost. Only a few are still alive, and most of them have been released forever.
Not coming anymore.”
Hearing this, the five newcomers were frightened, but Gongsun Yan was secretly happy. Now he had the opportunity to stay underground with an excuse.
The kitchen steward immediately distributed the rings containing dry food and drinking water to everyone. After Gongsun Yan received the ring, he followed everyone to several different mines and began to go down to distribute dry food and drinking water. The five of them were assigned
Mine entrances in different areas.
When he came underground, Gongsun Yan already had experience in "underground operations". He began to distribute dry food on a "familiar road" and look for Yi Qiqiang.
After going down to the mine, Gongsun Yan found that the scene here was similar to the one when he went to the mine in the Jinci Mountains. The difference was that he didn't go far below when he found a large artificially made metal "room".
The core disciples of the inner sect call it the "refuge chamber". There are air ducts inside to provide fresh air, and there are piles of shovels, iron rakes, wooden mallets, iron picks, copper axes, copper adzes, copper dungeons and other digging rooms.
tool.
The core disciples of the inner sect "supervise the work" here and are responsible for collecting the yuan stones handed over by the slaves and registering the completion of the slaves' quota.
Seeing Gongsun Yan coming over, the two core disciples asked Gongsun Yan to take their place, and they wanted to go upstairs to eat.
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan was secretly happy. He was worried about how to find Yi Qiqiang among tens of thousands of people. Now that he knew that in addition to delivering food, he also had to temporarily serve as a "supervisor" to collect statistics on slave mining indicators. He just happened to
You can take the opportunity to consult the slave list.
During this period, slaves from the Xianhua Sect often came to hand over the Yuan Stone, and Gongsun Yan collected the Yuan Stone. While counting their indicators, he also asked them about their situation, saying that he was new here and was not familiar with many things.
Those Xianhua Sect slaves saw Wuji Sect disciples take the initiative to talk to them, and they were all very cooperative. As long as they knew, they would basically tell the truth.
Gongsun Yan learned that the slaves of Xianhuamen go to the mine in two batches every month. When one group of people are mining, the other group of people go up to rest. Each batch of people must mine for at least half a month. They are not allowed to come up if they cannot meet the quota.
, the penalty will be severe if you are overdue for too long.
Gongsun Yan did not find Yi Qiqiang's name in the list under the mine, and he was not discouraged. He knew that there would be such a coincidence. He met him as soon as he entered the mine. Moreover, he had not yet been
Knowing whether he was mining, maybe it was Yi Qiqiang's turn to take a break.
After the two people came back, he would go deep into the mine to deliver food. He learned from the two people that each meal delivery would take a long time and he would have to go deep into every part of the mine that was being mined. It usually took about five days to come down once.
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan was a little bit embarrassed. No wonder it was distributed once every five days. After he finished this distribution, it would be the next one. Most of the time, he could only eat dry food down there.
However, even so, those inner sect disciples are still willing to choose to come down and deliver meals, just because there are free Yuanshi resources below to provide training. Every time the slaves change shifts, they have to bring their own dry food that can guarantee at least five days of mining.
