"Ding, ding, ding!" In the dark and narrow mine tunnel, a bare-chested miner lay on his back and drilled into a low mine. With a small mining hammer in one hand and a small mining chisel in the other, he was working hard to chisel the hard stone wall.
.
Not far away, another sturdy miner was holding a large mining hammer in both hands, and he was smashing a dark boulder with one hammer after another.
Mining in underground caves is really hard work. Various minerals are hidden deep in the thick stone walls, and the miners need to work hard to break them open with hammer after hammer.
The underground rock is extremely hard, and the further down you go, the harder it gets. You can imagine how hard it is in such deep underground areas as the Ghost Cave Layer.
The mining equipment used by miners, such as mining picks, mining shovels, mining hammers, mining chisels, etc., can all be regarded as magical instruments of high quality.
When a miner uses it, he needs to inject mana so that he can cut or break open the thick rock walls underground. Therefore, the miner must be a cultivator, and his cultivation level must be at least in the middle stage of Qi training.
"It's in stock!" As the mining hammer hit it, there was only a muffled "click" sound, and the dark boulder cracked into six or seven pieces of varying sizes. Another miner on the side quickly stepped forward to turn over.
When I opened the gravel, I saw irregular pieces of red rock embedded in the debris, and I couldn't help shouting excitedly.
These red-red rocks are "copper rough ore". Experienced old miners can recognize it at a glance. They are a common mineral. They have been busy for a long time.
Then the two of them smashed and knocked, digging out pieces of red rock from the rocks, and then moved them to a bonfire in the distance.
There are piles of various large and small ores piled next to the bonfire, which is the harvest of the Lao Niu mining team of the Dry Bones Gang in half a day.
Sitting next to the mine pile was a naked old man with dark skin. He was the leader of the Lao Niu mining team, "Old Black Niu," an old miner who had been mining in underground caves for decades. He was responsible for registering everyone in the team.
How much of the mineral a miner mines.
"There are eighteen pieces of golden retriever, black head, and hot copper ore, totaling 363 kilograms. Let's take a stamp!" Old Hei Niu clicked on the pile of hot copper ore that was delivered, picked up the account book, and wrote it down.
, let the two miners press their fingerprints, and the wages will be paid according to the account book at the end of the month.
"Bump, bump!" Liu Yu, who was guarding a fork far away from the mining team and sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed to rest, suddenly opened his eyes. The Jinchun sword inserted on the ground in front of him flashed and turned into a sword light flying.
He came out, made a circle in the dark mine tunnel in front, and flew back to Liu Yu. In the void near the top of the cave in the mine tunnel in front, two jet-black air waves burst out.
It turned out to be two invisible "shadow souls", floating close to the cave roof, sneaking closer, and were shot out by Jin Cunjian like a sword piercing a gourd. Liu Yu has been in the Withered Bone Gang for more than two months and has been serving as
The mine supervisor of Laoniu Branch Mining Team.
In addition to Liu Yu, there are two other mine supervisors in the Lao Niu mining team, both of whom are foundation-building monks. One is nicknamed "Black Bird" and is a slender Northland woman, and the other is nicknamed "Ghost Ya".
The sixth building of Jifu is the captain of the mine supervisor.
Although he is called a supervisor, his duty is not to keep an eye on these miners all day long to prevent them from being lazy, but to protect the safety of these miners who are mining.
Although mining is tiring and tiring, no one would think of being lazy, because the wages are directly determined by how much minerals they mine. If they were afraid of being tired and lazy, they would not come to this dangerous place to work as miners.
Not to mention that most of the miners in the Withered Bone Gang are gamblers with a lot of debt. Who doesn’t want to earn more spiritual stones and leave this ghost place as soon as possible.
You must know that more or less every day, miners are attacked and die by ghosts or monsters. This is really not a place for people to live.
At this time, the three mine supervisors, including Liu Yu, each occupied a corner and were guarding the main forks outside the mining area where the mining team was working. The underground caves and mine tunnels were complex. They needed to be vigilant at all times, otherwise ghosts would sneak in and injure people.
Miners, especially in this ghost cave level, all kinds of ghosts are very rampant.
Ghosts like "Shadow Souls" are not a threat to mine supervisors like Liu Yu, but they are very deadly to miners who are mining minerals. If they are touched by these silent "Shadow Souls"
A close-up sneak attack will most likely result in death.
"Old Niutou, come and take a look!" At this time, a tall and thin miner said excitedly in front of a thick gray granite wall.
"Liuzi, what did you find?" The mine manager "Old Black Niu" got up and ran over. Obviously Liuzi found something good.
"Lao Niutou, see for yourself!" Liuzi pointed at the stone wall. It took him a long time to dig out a small two-foot-deep exploration cave. Liuzi was the prospector of Lao Niu's mining team, and he took the chisel every day.
The mining tools were aimless, going back and forth to dig holes in the stone walls.
"Silver sand!" The mine head dug a hole into the stone wall and looked in. A circle of rocks at the bottom of the hole was actually glowing with silver. "Old Black Niu" had been mining for decades, and he could tell at a glance.
This is the silver sand mine that has been found. The silver sand mine can extract mithril, which is a good product.
"Fire Tiger, Ice Monkey, come here!" Old Hei Niu immediately shouted loudly.
"Here we come!" Soon, two miners, one strong and one thin, trotted over. The strong man was nicknamed "Fire Tiger" and had red hair. The thin man was nicknamed "Ice Monkey" and had silver hair. Both of them were old men working in the mines.
A key member of the team.
"Blast it away!" Old Hei Niu pointed at the thick stone wall in front of him and said.
"Get out of the way, look at me, Huo Hu." The strong man took a few steps back, motioned to the "Old Black Bull" and others to get out of the way, then waved his hands continuously, forming a magic seal, and took a deep breath.
With a "huh" sound, he breathed out a stream of flames, and the raging flames continued to spurt onto the stone wall in front of him, lasting as long as a stick of incense.
The original brown-gray stone wall was burned into pitch black by the flames, with some corners turning dark red and emitting wisps of green smoke. It was obvious that the temperature of the stone wall was extremely high at this time and was emitting bursts of heat waves.
"Frost Technique!" As soon as the Fire Tiger retreated, the "Ice Monkey" who had been charging for a long time immediately cast the spell.
The temperature in the mine dropped sharply, condensing into a gray mist of frost. Driven by spiritual consciousness, layers of frost and mist gathered on the surface of the stone walls that had just been burned by the flames.
There was only a muffled sound of "click, click", and cracks appeared on the surface of the stone wall, just like spider webs, and gravel fell from time to time.
"Broken!" At this time, Old Hei Niu used his magic power to condense a dozen spiritual energy bombs and shot them at the stone wall. With a loud bang, the entire stone wall collapsed instantly, revealing the silver sand buried deep in the stone wall.
Dots of silver light suddenly appeared in the dark mine tunnels, and the entire stone wall shone like a star curtain in the dark night.
"Put down what you are doing and come here!" Old Hei Niu's face turned red and he puffed up his neck and shouted loudly. It is rare to see so many silver sand mines. The mining team is very lucky today.
"Let's go! When we get back from this trip, I will take you to the town to open a meat restaurant." Soon, more than thirty miners from the mining team arrived. Seeing the scene in front of them, they were all smiling, and each one of them took a picture of the young man.
Liuzi said with a big smile.
"Stop talking nonsense! Everyone, hurry up and work!" Old Hei Niu waved his hand and ordered. The miners immediately picked up the things in their hands and swarmed forward. Those in front were hammering and knocking with pickaxes, while those behind were picking up, carrying and busy.
Gotta be in full swing.
The entire mining team divided the work for most of the day to dig the silver sand mine on this level. It was not until the end of the day, when the camel team carrying the ore arrived, that it was completely mined. Beside the bonfire where the minerals were piled, there were more than a dozen piles of large and small piles.
,The harvest is very rich.
"Gui Ya, your mining team seems to have a good harvest today?" The camel team consists of more than twenty moose, and the leader is the deputy gang leader Mang Shark. Mang Shark glanced at the piles of various minerals next to the bonfire and smiled.
He said to Guiya beside him.
"Boss, these guys found a silver sand mine, and their work was not in vain!" Guiya smiled, and a row of teeth appeared on the right corner of his mouth. Guiya had been injured by a sharp blade on one side of his mouth. It was better not to open his mouth.
, the scar at the corner of the mouth opened, revealing a set of yellow teeth, disgusting and ferocious.
Gui Ya was in a good mood. The more minerals the mining team mined, the more rewards and shares the supervisor would receive. As the captain of the supervisor, he would get an even bigger share. With so much silver sand mine dug out, how could Gui Ya not steal it?
Are you happy?
"Hurry up and pack the box!" Mangsha said with a wave of his hand.
The mine head "Old Black Bull", together with his miners, began to load piles of various ores into mustard boxes in batches, and then carried them on the backs of moose.
Following the pack team, another mining team, "Lion Belly", who had finished work, also stepped forward to lend a hand at the greeting of the mine head "Lone Lion".
"Old Niu Tou, you can do it today!" Du Shi walked up to his old friend "Black Niu" and said with envy as he looked at the boxes of silver sand mines one after another.
Today, their "Lion Belly" mining team found nothing except some "cold iron". They were also attacked by "Shadow Soul" and killed a brother.
"Move quickly! Go back and rest early!" "Old Hei Niu" said panting after a hard day's work.
The mining team sets out from the camp at midnight and ends at midnight. It takes nearly a day of work. When work is over, the camp will send three to four pack teams to haul the minerals mined by each mining team back to the camp.<
/p>
The camp is still six or seven miles away, and we need to go to pick up other mining teams in the middle. We should finish the harvest early and hit the road early, so we can return to the camp early to rest.
