The huge crater on the ground and the surrounding mountain walls are not solid ice, but solid rock.
Those dark brown rocks contain rich metal components and are mixed with layers of spiritual stone veins.
There is no doubt that we have reached the mining area here.
The four mines around the huge pit lead to the four major mining areas in the east, west, south and north respectively.
Each mine is hundreds of feet high, like the mouth of a giant beast that wants to devour people.
The four commanders led everyone into the northern mine, followed the wide and dark mine tunnel, and rushed towards the northern mining area.
The main mine tunnel is relatively straight, and is dug downwards at an angle, leading directly to hundreds of miles underground.
Every ten miles away, a branch road will be dug into the rock wall of the main mine tunnel, leading to the depths of the vein.
If the main mine tunnel is a tree trunk, the branch tunnels are branches, densely connected to the trunk, forming a huge vein of mine tunnels.
Each branch is numbered for easy identification and management.
Everyone flew for more than two hundred miles in the main mine tunnel before stopping at the entrance of the branch tunnel numbered 42.
One of the commanders named the four servants of God and ordered: "The four of you will be responsible for this No. 2 mine from now on!
There are more than 800 miners inside. You allocate your own manpower and must complete the mining task.
I will come to inspect every two days, and if you fail to complete your tasks, you will be severely punished!"
The four servants of the gods could only accept their orders and entered the mine with gloomy expressions.
Next, everyone continued walking in the main mine tunnel.
Every time you reach the entrance of a branch road, the golden-armored commander will assign four or five divine servants to be in charge of a mine.
As time goes by, the number of God's servants continues to decrease.
An hour later, more than forty servants of God were assigned.
Only Ji Tianxing and three divine servants were left until the end.
A commander led the four of them to the entrance of the branch tunnel numbered 59, and ordered with a majestic voice: "The four of you will be in charge of this 59th mine from now on.
There are more than two hundred miners in this mine, and the four of you can make arrangements by yourself.
No matter what, you must complete your daily tasks, and you must mine 10,000 spiritual stones and 100 gems.
I come to inspect every two days. If you fail to complete your tasks, your monthly routine will be withheld and you will be punished!"
The golden-armored commander's surname was Ding. He was a middle-aged man as thin as a bamboo pole, with a mustache and a pair of eyes as sharp as a falcon.
Ji Tianxing and the three divine servants immediately frowned after hearing what he said.
"Commander Ding, why are there between 800 and 1,000 miners in a dozen other mines, but there are only more than 200 in our No. 59 mine?"
"Yes! Commander Ding, there are at least five hundred people in those mines, but we only have more than two hundred. Isn't this too few?"
"We have fewer miners than them, but the tasks we need to complete are the same. This is unfair!"
"Commander Ding, please consider the actual situation and reduce our tasks as appropriate!"
Ji Tianxing was keenly aware that there might be something wrong with this mine, so he raised the question first.
The other three divine servants also echoed his words and appealed to Commander Ding one after another, saying it was unfair.
Unexpectedly, Commander Ding frowned and scolded with a cold face: "Asshole! This is a rule set by the superiors, how can you allow you to criticize it?
I only execute orders in accordance with regulations. No matter what method you use, you must complete your daily tasks!
Please remember this, you are just a slave when you come here, not some bullshit genius, and you will be punished if you fail to complete your tasks!"
After saying that, Commander Ding snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Everyone looked at his leaving figure, frowning fiercely, their eyes flashing with shame and anger.
Little did he know that Commander Ding was muttering secretly in his heart: "Damn it, these four guys are so hard to fool, how dare you complain to me!
However, Director Du and the four guardians were unable to find out the truth.
Miners from other mines would rather die than come here. What can I do?
I guess it won’t be long before these four stupid young men and the more than two hundred miners will also die violently, right?”
Thinking of this, Commander Ding's back felt a little chilly, and he quickly sped away.
Ji Tianxing and the three servants of the gods could only accept the reality, turned around and went into the Wujiu Mine.
After entering the mine, the four of them looked at the terrain in the mine and discussed it.
"I have long heard that the Glacier Mine is a place where bones are buried, and countless people die every year. I never expected that it would be like this.
The environment and conditions in the mining area are worse than we imagined, so everyone should be careful."
The first person to speak was a young man in red robe named Wu Xu, a young genius from the Qianxue Empire.
"I just can't understand why others have thousands of miners, but we only have more than 200?
Did we offend Commander Ding in some way?
This is impossible! We just got here yesterday and didn’t do anything!”
A tall and thin young man named Zheng Rong grumbled with a depressed look on his face.
He is a genius of the Daqian Empire. Like Wu Xu, he possesses the fourth level of Yuanshen Realm strength.
"Maybe Commander Ding saw that the four of us were too handsome and stole his limelight, so he suppressed us like this."
The young man in black robe named Bai Kaixuan smiled in a self-deprecating tone, with a rather bitter smile.
Only Ji Tianxing remained silent and looked around expressionlessly.
The three of them talked for a while, then looked at him one after another and asked: "Ke Lan, why are you silent, what are you thinking about?"
Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows and said in a solemn tone: "Our Wujiu Mine is at the deepest part of the main mine tunnel, three hundred miles underground.
I have a hunch that there must be something wrong with this mine, so everyone should be mentally prepared."
The three people immediately frowned, showing worried expressions.
"Ke Lan, don't scare us. What problems could there be in the mine?"
"I think Ke Lan is right. I feel the same way. It's better to listen to him and be careful."
"Let's stop worrying unfounded and let's go into the mine and take a look first."
The four of them walked through a winding mine tunnel, entered the mine, and arrived at the mining area.
All I saw was a huge, empty cave in front of me.
The cave is surrounded by cliffs, and the dark brown rock walls are shimmering with light, mixed with some light blue spiritual stone layers.
Artificially dug holes and cracks can be seen everywhere on the ground and rock walls.
More than two hundred miners wearing gray linen clothes are scattered in every corner of the mine.
At a glance, the miners all have shabby clothes and dirty hair, and they look quite slovenly.
Moreover, on the surface, they seemed to be carelessly digging into the rock wall to dig out spiritual stones and precious stones.
But in fact, they were gathered together in small groups, looking shivering and fearful, and were whispering.
