After the overseer left, almost all the slaves lay on the ground in despair. Everyone felt that this was an impossible task and they would definitely be thrown into the lava. But at this time, Batman threw the little devil in his hand.
before throwing him out, and said to him:
"Go, shout as loud as you can, and draw everyone's attention to me."
The little devil was thrown to the ground with a "bang" sound, and he was like a dog, but when he looked back and saw Batman's threatening eyes, he still tried hard to do it, jumping up and down on the spot, yelling, until
All the demons turn their attention to Batman.
After confirming that the overseer had gone far, and that the group of beholders did not seem to care about the actions of these miner slaves other than mining, Batman jumped on the mine cart, and seeing everyone looking up at him, he said in a deep voice
:
"If you want to survive, just do as I say. It is not impossible to complete the mining capacity of two carriages in one night."
As soon as he said this, all the demons stared at him. Batman raised his head, looked at all the minerals in the mine, and said
"Currently, all the minerals on the surface of the mine are enough to fill these two mine cars, but the premise is that we must mine every corner of the minerals without leaving anything behind."
After hearing what he said, some old miners also began to look at the situation in the mine. After the initial fear subsided, they began to talk in low voices:
"It seems to be true. As far as I know, although our mine is in a shallow layer, it has a lot of minerals. If we can mine them all, it might be able to fill it up."
"It's impossible. Even if we can mine all the minerals on the rock wall, what about the minerals above us? We don't have flying demons here. What will happen to the minerals above us?"
"Maybe we can give it a try. Even if we can't completely fill it up, as long as we work hard, maybe they will let us go because our results are pretty good?"
"Yes, yes, I really don't want to be thrown into the lava, please!"
"Everyone be quiet." Batman said again: "As long as you are willing to listen to me, I guarantee that you can definitely complete the mission."
"Indeed, it is difficult to mine the minerals at the top of the cave when no one can fly, but it is not impossible. But first, we need to start working immediately and mine all the ores we can get."
Batman glanced at all the demons, his brain was running rapidly, and then he said: "The previous way of working was too inefficient. Now, I will redistribute the work, and everyone will listen to my command. I will tell you which group of mines to mine.
Just pick whichever group you want, and you can pick whatever I tell you to do..."
"If someone disobeys the order, then everyone may die. Whether you believe it or not, I am the only one who can save you now. If you understand, then start taking action!"
"All red-skinned trolls, take your tools and go to the edge of the mine. Stand in the directions with the most ore, and work in groups of three to mine large ores together..."
"All the dwarf demons form a group of five and stand in a circle next to the troll. As soon as the mineral falls, pick it up immediately."
"The spinel snake demons line up in a straight line and are responsible for transporting minerals..."
"Pay attention to the east and west directions of the mine. Don't mine or move the shadow ore at the edge... That shadow monster, yes, it's you. Come over here and stand here and don't move. I have other tasks to hand over.
for you……"
Under Batman's arrangements, the entire mine ran in an orderly manner. Under the pressure of death, everyone was obedient and worked hard. After all, demons are chaotic, cunning, and evil, but they are also afraid of death.
Moreover, when intelligent beings are in panic, they often instinctively rely on the beings with the loudest voices. Regardless of whether what they say is right or not, as long as they can point the way for everyone, they will naturally take the leadership position. This is the case with Batman.
.
Before Batman changed the rules of mining in the mine, the demons would just randomly find a rock formation with exposed minerals, and then start digging. The finished ore would be placed in a basket next to it, and then they would carry it to the mine cart themselves.
Pour it out.
This will cause a big problem. The dwarf monsters cannot dig ore, and can only send a little bit of debris each time. Although the trolls dig a lot of ore, they move slowly, and it takes only one trip to send a basket.
Finished knocking two ores.
Batman clarified everyone's division of labor, from individual work to collective collaboration, and efficiency quickly improved.
The work in the mine was in full swing. The trolls kept repeating their actions, using their strong arms to break the rocks. The short demons flexibly shuttled under the trolls' feet, picking up all the broken pieces and throwing them away.
To the spinel demon.
The lower body of the Snake Demon has a snake tail, and the upper body also has human arms. They can bend the snake tail and then jump to high places. The speed is also very fast. They often put the basket containing the ore on their head and jump in one jump.
Get up, smash directly into the minecart, and then climb out.
There are also various demons who are smaller in stature but can use tools. They are responsible for the smaller minerals in the rock formations. They dig out the fragments from the gaps or corners that the trolls cannot enter, and put them into baskets for transportation.
Get into the minecart.
As time gradually moves forward and we get closer and closer to the death line, everyone moves faster and faster.
Just when there were more than two hours left before death, the demons finally dug out all the ores except those at the top of the mine.
Now, one and a half of the two carriages have been filled, but half of the carriage is still empty. At this time, all the demons have set their sights on Batman. They don't know whether this magical human can still survive.
Find some way to dig down minerals from such a height.
The entire cave is very large, and the ceiling is also very high. There are many stalactite-like spikes hanging down. There are many well-developed minerals growing around them. If they can all be knocked down, it will be more than enough to fill half a car.
At this moment, Batman took a step back slightly, and a shadow monster that looked exactly like Hexagon walked forward tremblingly. He said in a trembling tone: "You...you all hide behind, hide behind
Go into the tunnel, I didn’t tell you, don’t show your face..."
All the demons were a little confused and looked at each other, not knowing what to do, but some old miners seemed to have thought of something. They waved their hands and said: "Follow me! Everyone go into the tunnel! Everyone retreat to the innermost!"
The demons entered the passage sparsely, and Batman also followed the demons into the nearest tunnel, but he did not retreat further, but stood at the entrance of the cave to observe the situation.
The shadow monster narrowed its eyes hard, and suddenly let out a silent scream. The sound waves spread out, blowing away smoke and dust, and all the demons instinctively covered their ears.
In an instant, the tentacles all over the body of the shadow monster opened up and turned into a terrifying tentacled giant shadow. But even more terrifying than him were two groups of shadow vines that erupted from the corners of the mine.
The shadow vines surged out with lightning speed. In just a few seconds, countless vines swept through every corner of the mine. The vine storm was like a hurricane passing over the sea, setting off an unstoppable wave.
The waves were so strong that the entire mountain began to tremble.
After two or three minutes, the chaos gradually disappeared. Shadow Vine retracted into the ore, and the demon who first rushed out shouted:
"Ore! It's all ore! Look, the ground is full of ore!!!!"
The demons filed out and looked at the sparkling ore on the ground in shock. When they looked up again, the stalactite-like spikes had disappeared, and more than half of the cave ceiling was marked by vines.
The huge dark red troll swallowed his saliva and said with some trembling: "Oh my god, is Shadow Vine so strong? They actually knocked down all the ores in an instant..."
Next to him, an old dragon demon with wrinkled scales sighed and said: "This reminds me of the vine disaster back then. Even the powerful demon lord couldn't cope with the combined forces."
A whole underground shadow vine..."
When Batman walked out of the cave, he was not surprised. He had long noticed the unusual nature of the shadow vine.
One of the clues is that when he was treating Rokkaku's injuries, he discovered that the layer of black mist on Rokkaku's tentacles had a very special property, just like the shadow mine, which was tough, stable but without any weight.
Batman's gauntlets couldn't cut through the black fog at all. At the same time, the tentacles seemed to be infinitely extendable. Except for fire and heavy blows, slashing and axe-cutting had no good effect.
After discovering this magical property, Batman asked about the habits of Hexagonal Shadow Vine. According to Hexagonal, this plant is very magical. When they live on the ground or in mountains, they do not take up any space and do not need nests or homes.
Just like a real shadow, it adheres to the surface of the mineral.
But if it turns into a physical entity, it can be extended indefinitely. The greater the stimulation, the faster the explosion, and the more violent the explosion force.
And Hexagon also told Batman a secret, that is, the shadow monsters born from the shadow vines can not only appease the shadow vines, but can also stimulate the plants, causing them to burst out in an instant.
Afterwards, Batman gave Hexagon a plan to use his shadow monster's characteristics to stimulate the shadow vine and punish the lava demon who bullied him. At the same time, this also provided Batman with a good opportunity to observe this plant.
After confirming that Shadow Vine is indeed what Rokkaku said, a short burst can cause huge damage, Batman also observed another detail, that is, the whip held by the overseer is likely to be related to Shadow Vine.
The shadow vine is black, and when it erupts, it looks like a black wave, but at the eruption point, Batman can observe a flash of green light.
This green light reminded Batman of the green of all things that once descended on Gotham. He thought that all plants in the universe are under the jurisdiction of the green of all things, so it is very likely that the shadow vine is also among them, and that
The reason why the whip can cause so much damage to the devil may also be because it draws on the power of the green of all things.
The demon overseers' outrageous demands for workload gave Batman another opportunity. He discovered that the method used to induce monsters to stimulate the shadow vines did not seem to have anything to do with magic or occultism, but rather used a certain sound frequency.
Batman felt that he had grasped the key, but at this moment, the line of death finally came. After pouring the last basket of collected minerals into the mine cart, the overseers came in menacingly.
After seeing two carts full of ore, the supervisors were stunned.
"How is this possible??!!! You stupid slaves, how can it really be possible in one night..."
"Damn it! Someone must be cheating!! The miners under that idiot Claude can't be so hardworking, come out! Come out!"
"I can't let Claude defeat me! Our fourth mountain is General Rottenheart's most important mine. There are so many minerals in the central mine that are not mined, but they have been occupied here for so many years. Claude must give way!
"
The leading demon flicked his whip fiercely, and then said: "Take them all away and throw them into the lava! There is a group of slaves in the central mine who have not completed their mission, kill them all!"
Standing behind the mine cart, Batman narrowed his eyes. It turned out that such outrageous work requirements were not caused by the supervisors going crazy, but were related to the infighting among the power levels of the mine.
It seems that this big overseer named Claude has been occupying the central mine, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of the other small mine overseers. They want to join forces and kill all the slaves in the central mine, so that Claude will not be able to complete the task.
.
Under such circumstances, if the slaves were thrown into the magma and delayed the progress of General Rottenheart, then one can imagine the fate of the great overseer named Claude.
Just when the supervisors were viciously trying to arrest someone, a figure wearing a black cloak jumped onto the highest mound in the center of the mine, and his voice echoed in the mine:
"Stop, you can't take anyone away from here!"
Batman looked down at the powerful demon overseers and said: "This is neither fair nor just... Stop your behavior and let them go!"
