Chapter 104 Spider Extermination
Jiang Tai in Meteor Mountain is looking forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that the sect can quickly send people to solve the problems here. Since he came here five years ago to supervise the mine, the situation was still good at first. However, since the beginning of last year, the miners were
After being attacked by blue-eyed mineral spiders in the tunnel, the miners did not dare to go too deep into the mine.
Moreover, every time a few people went into the mine together, not much ore was mined. As time went by, rumors about monsters in the mine became more and more widespread, so fewer miners dared to go into the mine, causing the production of Star Iron to shrink day by day.
to 40% of the original amount.
The output of this star iron is related to Jiang Tai's mission assessment. If he maintains the status quo every year, he can be rated as excellent. When the mission is completed, his contribution points can be increased by 30%.
This happened only halfway through, and when the task is handed in, half of it has to be deducted.
I have contacted the sect before, but the sect has been short of manpower in the past two years and has trouble with scheduling. This task was originally required to be completed by monks in the middle stage of foundation establishment, but now a monk in the early stage of foundation establishment has arrived.
Jiang Tai was furious, but he couldn't question the sect's decision, so he had no choice but to welcome Yi Tian into his personal room with a smile.
After the two sat down separately, Yi Tian saw Jiang Tai's expression of worry, and knew in his heart how serious a blow this was to him, so he had no choice but to comfort him kindly.
There are now two foundation-building monks and three Qi-refining stage disciples serving as guards in the mine, so I hope the miners won't cause any trouble.
The key is to explore the mines. Many of the workers in these mines are guilty of crimes. For example, after the Tao family's fornication at the Bone Gate was eradicated, the monks and disciples were sent to these mines to atone for their family's mining sins.
There are nearly a hundred people in the entire mine, and it is not enough for three outer disciples to look after it. Without Jiang Tai, a foundation-building monk, to be in charge, the miners would have rioted long ago.
Seeing Jiang Tai's listless look, Yi Tian didn't hesitate and immediately promised to find time to go down to the mine as soon as possible after meeting the deacon disciples in the mine. If he found the blue-eyed mineral spider, he would kill it.
Jiang Tai was overjoyed when he heard this, and even told Yi Tian that this blue-eyed mineral spider is a gregarious monster. Although it is only the third level, if you encounter too many, don't force it. After retreating, you can think about the long term.
After listening, Yi Tian nodded in response. It was up to him what to do.
After a while, three outer sect disciples came to Jiang Tai. These three people were unified in the seventh level of Qi refining. They were all over thirty years old. They were the kind of disciples who had exhausted their potential.
The leader, Shen Laosan, looked like a middle-aged man with a pockmarked face. He was not tall and looked more than half a head shorter than Yi Tian. Yi Tian had talked to the three of them separately and could not find any loopholes.
According to Jiang Tai, these three people were very diligent in their work. In the first few years, they often visited the mine. Under the supervision of the three people, the output of star iron in the mine had been steadily increasing until the blue eyes appeared.
After the Mine Spider, there was no way to go down to the mine. The three outer disciples had to take turns watching the mine day and night to prevent the miners from escaping in the chaos.
After hearing this, Yi Tian also praised the three people for their hard work, and hoped that they could temporarily overcome the difficulties and resume production after the monster nests in the mine were destroyed.
Finally, I asked Shen Laosan for a map of the mine, looked at it, and then decided to go down and take a look immediately.
Shen Laosan who was on the side suggested that Yi Tian go down tomorrow. There are still some people in the mine. After they all come up tonight, the mine will not send people down tomorrow. After Yi Tian has eradicated the monsters, he will organize the miners together.
Go down.
After hearing this, Jiang Tai agreed with Shen Laosan's point of view, so Yi Tian had to wait until the next day to discuss it.
After the three outer disciples left, Jiang Tai also explained the situation of the three outer disciples to Yi Tian. In the past few years, Jiang Tai spent more time practicing in the house, so most of the matters in the mine were entrusted to him.
Shen Laosan and the other three would only come to report something important that needed to be decided. In fact, Jiang Tai had never even gone down to the mine to take a look.
The miners discovered the blue-eyed mineral spiders and killed several of them. He only found out after taking the bodies out of the mine.
Seeing Jiang Tai's expression of taking it for granted, Yi Tian cursed in his heart that he was really practicing Taoism to the point where his brain was rusty. Everything in the mine was left to the outside disciples. When a situation happened, he didn't even know how to find out what the sect was doing.
I hired a monk like this to guard the mine.
When the three outer disciples came over just now, they looked a little unnatural when they heard that they were about to go down to the mine. There must be some fraud involved.
After Jiang Tai sent him to the resting room, Yi Tian said that he liked peace and quiet, so he would rest in the house until tomorrow morning and go down to the mine early tomorrow morning. When no one was around, Yi Tian quietly used Wind Escape to escape from the window.
A gust of wind blew by and they came to the mine.
The room where the three outer disciples rested was at the outermost part of the mining area, and it was filled with low shacks where the miners lived.
After inspecting the three deacon disciples, Yi Tian didn't find anything special. Looking at the dark mine, he ducked right in.
The Xingchen Iron Mine Cave is connected in all directions and has many branches. Miners can easily get lost if they don't have a mineral density map and go around a few times.
Before going down to the mine, Yi Tian had memorized the entire mine map, especially the mine passages where the blue-eyed ore spiders had appeared.
After some exploration, it was discovered that these marked mine tunnels were all in relatively deep areas, and they were located in the main production areas of Star Iron.
Throughout the first half of the mine tunnel, the sound of miners digging could be heard from time to time, and there would be some firelight wherever someone passed by. Yi Tian dodged all the way to avoid the eyes and ears of the miners.
After walking to the tunnels marked with monsters, there was no light anymore. The fireball in Yi Tian's hand quickly rose, illuminating the surrounding three feet. He quickly moved forward to find the last mark on the mine map.
Drilled into the mine tunnel where the monster appeared first.
After walking for a while, I heard some noises ahead and slowed down my steps. Looking for the sounds, I slowly moved forward and saw pairs of blue flashes in the darkness.
Yi Tian was overjoyed to find it, and he prepared the fireball technique in his hand. When he saw a few monsters in front of him, several fireballs came to greet them. After a flash of fire, the ground was covered with charred ore spider corpses, but there were still traces of charred ore spiders on the ground.
The sparkling light from the star sand.
This star sand is a product of star iron. Since it appears in the body of the monster, there must be a large amount of minerals in it.
Yi Tian used spiritual fire to burn the bodies of these monster beasts, and collected all the remaining star sand beads after burning.
Continuing to go deeper, he encountered more and more ore spiders along the way. The monster slowly changed from the second level to the third level. Yi Tian knew that it was almost the end. There should be a spider mother ahead, but
It doesn't look like he's very powerful.
At the end of the tunnel, Yi Tian saw a blue-eyed spider mother the size of a washbasin lying on a piece of star iron ore the size of a millstone. A pair of blue eyes looked directly at Yi Tian, the uninvited guest.
Although the third-level monsters pose no threat to the foundation-building monks, they are indeed a threat to the miners and deacons. No wonder there are fewer and fewer miners who dare to go down the mines.
I looked at the spider mother's body and there was a little bit of silver light, which was the result of eating a certain amount of star iron ore.
Yi Tian did not hesitate, and directly summoned him with the spell in his hand. Yi Tian was really not interested in dealing with this third-level top level monster, so he had to deal with it quickly.
What really attracts Yi Tian is the raw star iron ore below. After refining it, at least one kilogram of star iron will be obtained. This is the biggest gain of Yi Tianxia's mine.
The five consecutive fireballs hit the target, directly scorching the spider mother. After a group of third-order ore spiders around them were also cleaned up, Yi Tian directly put the bodies of the spider mother and the spiders nearby into a spare storage bag.
Then I walked over to the piece of star iron ore and looked at it. The whole piece of ore was about the size of a millstone and about six inches thick. This time I found a treasure.
After calculating that it was still a few hours before dawn before going down to the mine, Yi Tian simply sat on the ground, stretched out his right hand, and after wrapping it with a thin layer of Xuanyang True Fire, he grabbed the entire piece of Xingchen Iron Ore and began to smelt it.
Got up.
The entire end of the passage was suddenly roasted by the scorching high temperature. The corpses of the monster beasts nearby that had no time to collect were roasted by the flames and first gave off bursts of barbecue aroma, and then turned into a foul smell.
Every day, the Xingchen Iron Ore mining in Meteor Mountain is carried out in Chen Shixia's mine, but today the three mine deacons guarded the entrance of the mine and did not let a single miner go down.
The Bai Lai miners who gathered at the entrance of the mine were all talking about it. If they don't go down the mine, there will be no harvest. Those monks who rely on mining to atone their sins are even more anxious. Their harvest is directly related to the time they serve here.
Fortunately, with Jiang Tai, a foundation-building monk, in charge, these miners will become more peaceful. If he also went into the mine, the three outer disciples would not be able to cope with so many people, not to mention that some miners have stayed for a long time.
His own strength has also improved, and he may not lose even one-on-one with those three deacons.
Therefore, Jiang Tai also asked for help from the sect because he was unable to separate himself, and even made the situation more serious when he reported it.
Look at the sunrise in the east, but Yi Tian has not appeared yet, and I am worried. I was about to send someone to call Yi Tian, when I heard a commotion at the entrance of the mine.
Jiang Tai turned around and looked around, and saw a figure coming out of the entrance of the mine. It was Yi Tian who was supposed to be resting in the house.
A storage bag was thrown out. After Yi Tianmingshen Laosan took out the items, the miners cheered after watching it. Jiang Tai also walked forward in a hurry, only to see a blue eye the size of a washbasin on the ground.
The corpses of the mother spider and several third-order male spiders.
Now that all the matters in the mine were settled, I hurriedly ordered the three outer disciples to arrange for the miners to go down to the mine and start work. Calculating the amount of time this year and working overtime, I could make it in time.
Seeing that the matter was over, Yi Tian stopped rambling and went to Jiang Tai to explain that he was forced to go down to the mine privately due to time constraints. Jiang Tai also expressed his understanding, as long as the matter in the mine was resolved.
Then Yi Tian handed the mission jade slip to Jiang Tai and he stamped the seal on it. After marking it, the message to the sect was completed.
Seeing that the time was just like Chen Shi, Yi Tian said goodbye to Jiang Tai after taking back the jade slips. He also planned to go shopping for some goods at the Chengjia Market of the Xuanling Sect.
Jiang Tai was also focused on the mine, and after talking to Yi Tian for a few words, he went to keep an eye on it.
Then Shen Laosan came over and asked Yi Tian if he could keep the corpses of those monsters, and some star iron could be extracted from them. After Yi Tian thought about it for a moment, he nodded in agreement, and then Royal
Chapter completed!
