"So Tai Sui, what are we going to do next?"

"Taking on tasks, and picking the kind of tasks that others can't complete, or are super difficult, will help us make a name for ourselves in a short period of time. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"There are super difficult tasks, but with our current level, we can't take it at all. "Mercenaries and mercenary groups have a strict hierarchical system, and of course there are clear levels of tasks, and mercenaries of any strength will take on tasks of whatever level, so that unnecessary casualties can be avoided.

General tasks can be divided into levels by estimating risks, but people are not as good as heaven, plans can never catch up with changes, mercenary missions are different from tasks in the game, there are too many unpredictable changes, and occasionally they will come into contact with some, which humans can't explain at all for the time being, and are completely unfamiliar and unknown.

Therefore, there is no clear level of this type of task, and there is no limit to the number of people, as long as you are confident enough, you can take it.

The only way in front of Lin Tianxing now is to take over such a task, so that he can regain the reputation of the mercenary group and raise his level in a short period of time.

"I know what to do. Lin Tianxing immediately ran to the task bar and brought a task notice, "That's it, this task has been placed for half a year, there are hundreds of mercenaries, and more than a dozen mercenary groups have taken over this task, but they have not been completed yet, and there is not even a clue." ”

Baotou Mountain, the name is very ordinary, this is also a very ordinary iron mine, the only pity is that the ore here is only very ordinary hematite.

Fortunately, the iron ore in Baotou Mountain is very abundant, and it can be dug for a long time, and the economic benefits are still good.

But this situation began to change more than half a year ago, at first it was just the mysterious disappearance of the miners, which is not a big deal, when the mine is dug too deep, it is inevitable that various accidents will occur, and it is common for a section of the road to collapse and bury the miners alive.

But the situation in Baotou Mountain was different, the missing miner really disappeared mysteriously, as if there had never been such a person, and disappeared out of thin air. The mine showed no signs of collapsing, and even kobolds, with the most keen sense of smell, had no way to find the miners.

Could it be that the miners escaped?

On the continent of Arthur Lance, the source of miners is generally forcibly requisitioned, and the nobles forcibly recruit civilians and let them mine for a period of time, although civilians can get a certain amount of compensation, but in fact, they don't get paid at all.

Some died in the mines, others were bullied to death by other miners, and some were even squeezed out of all their money as soon as they entered, and even if they were paid in the end, they were still losing money.

The fixed miners are all slaves, no one cares about their life or death, slaves are generally soldiers or civilians of the defeated country, and the defeated country cannot raise them in vain before they redeem them, and all of them are captured for mining as free labor.

Based on the above two situations, it is not difficult to understand that the miners will resist and flee, but the development of things is really unexpected.

A few days later, the mysteriously missing miners were found, not fleeing, but dead.

The most bizarre thing is the way they died, it was only a few days, they were all in a dry state, and their bodies were much more rusty. When the cause of their death was examined, it was only a light touch to their bodies and they shattered.

Yes, completely shattered, completely shattered, as if it wasn't a corpse at all, but a broken glass bottle, which was really an incomprehensible thing.

Human beings have a fear of the unknown, because human beings will make up a very terrifying thing in their own brains, so they are afraid of it.

The miners first disappeared mysteriously, and when they were found, they found that they were dead, and most importantly, the cause of their death was a mystery, and there was never an answer. As soon as the news spread, it spread like a plague, and the miners were terrified and fearful, after all, half of them were civilians, and their families were waiting for them to return.

Fortunately at first, under the high-pressure policy, the miners could not resist too fiercely. But then more and more people died, and even the foremen and overseers died, and fear permeated the entire Baotou Mountain.

In order to dispel the fear, the noble lord had to take measures to solve this problem, so he issued a task and asked the mercenaries to solve it.

But the problem has not been solved, and the number of deaths has not decreased, but has increased.

Of course, how many people die is not a big deal for the nobles, but it is just a group of slaves, commoners and mercenaries, and at most the matter of losing some money will pass. But things are getting worse and worse, the quality of the iron ore dug up in Baotou Mountain is declining, and the iron that can be refined is becoming less and less, as if the iron in the iron ore has been eaten by something.

What happened to Baotou Mountain, what caused a large number of deaths, and the decline in the quality of ore, all these are unsolved mysteries. The only thing that is certain is that Baotou Mountain has no value, because the iron ore that can be extracted from the excavated iron ore can no longer catch up with the daily consumption, and continuing to dig is simply a money-losing business.

So in the end, Baotou Mountain was abandoned, and the entire Baotou Mountain was empty, but the task was still there. It's just that this task has been identified as an incompleteable task, because so far I can't even find the slightest clue, so this task has been idle for half a year and no one has taken it.

At this time, Lin Tianxing and Tai Sui were standing in front of the entrance of the Baotou Mountain Mine, and before they entered, Lin Tianxing frowned slightly.

Lin Tianxing can see microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi, but viruses can't, because viruses are too small, and viruses are a hundred times smaller than bacteria. Since he could see bacteria and other microorganisms, Lin Tianxing knew that microorganisms can also have their own thoughts, but because the structure is too simple, their thoughts are also very simple.

There is only one, and that is survival!

The meaning of their existence is to survive, and survival is their whole meaning, so they don't need to communicate, they don't need to unite, they just go their own way.

But at the entrance of the mine, Lin Tianxing saw a strange scene, a large number of reddish-brown iron bacteria actually gathered together, they seemed to be united as a whole, acting together and foraging together.
