Chapter 999: Opening up the mine

In the dark sky, the shadow of the starship quietly shrouded an area of tens of kilometers, and the brilliant and magnificent starlight gathered into a whirlpool and slowly rotated.

The days of this wild planet are extremely hot, and the temperature remains at the level of fifty or sixty degrees all year round, but at night it becomes very cold, and the surface temperature will drop to about minus sixty or seventy degrees within an hour, and ordinary rocks will be frozen and cracked.

Therefore, the creatures that can still come out to hunt in such an extreme environment cannot be simple characters, and their vitality is very strong, and they are extremely difficult to deal with.

The prisoners had been genetically optimized at least twice, and were allowed to move in such an environment for a short period of time without the aid of any protective gear, but of course no one wanted to do so unless they had to, and the environment in the wilderness was too dangerous.

Qin Feng was suspended at a height of three feet from the ground, strolling in the air, strolling leisurely, wisps of sword light as thin as a gossamer snaking around him, pouring down like rain hitting plantains, killing countless fierce beasts on the ground, and the strong smell of blood attracted the attention of more fierce beasts.

Piles of fierce beast corpses were rolled up by an invisible force, and they disappeared into the depths of the starlight vortex flying overhead, and the azure starflames on the nine-layer star platform burned lightly, and they could use the world origin essence to beat at a high speed of 20 or 30 points.

Although the origin of the feedback of a single beast is very small, it has an absolute advantage in quantity, and the total harvest is still a considerable number.

Compared with the former Planet 16, the number of indigenous beasts on this planet is at least two orders of magnitude larger, and due to the harsh surface environment, they mainly live in shallow underground and are connected to the ground through tunnels and caves extending in all directions.

Hong Guixi's continuous purging over the past few years has certainly wiped out a large number of fierce beast communities, but the wisdom of these indigenous groups is not as low as imagined, and many cunning species have temporarily hid in deeper strata to hibernate, taking advantage of the fact that his army has relaxed its guard for a while, and then coldly come out to sneak attack.

Caught off guard, Hong Guixi's purging army suffered several losses and suffered great losses, and later had to add resources to clean up repeatedly, and it took a lot of effort to barely suppress it.

As the head snake that has lived and bred on the planet for millions of years, it is obviously much more difficult to subvert their dominance at once than imagined, and the military power in Hong Guixi's hands is limited, and the stall to maintain is too large, so it is impossible to invest too much power here.

“…… That's me, if it's someone else, even if Lin Canghong himself leads his personal guards over, it won't take three or five years, thousands of elites killed and wounded, and tens of billions of star coins to pay, and he won't want to gain a firm foothold here. ”

Qin Feng thought silently, now that he could basically clean up an area within a radius of fifty square kilometers overnight, from the ground to sixty meters underground, a fierce beast would not want to survive.

In this way, as long as you come out to work on time every night, you can create a large enough safe area around the city in less than half a month to nip the potential beast tide crisis in the bud.

At that time, the mines around your castle will be able to carry out large-scale mining with confidence.

According to the conventional practice, seventy percent of the ore mined each month is handed over to his immediate superior, and the rest can be disposed of by the cell boss himself.

Qin Feng was nominally a subordinate of Moredley, but in fact he directly obeyed Lin Canghong's orders, and in order to take care of him, the big prison tyrant had already authorized him to hand over only fifty percent of the ore share every month for three years.

With a sufficient amount of ore, you can exchange star coins from those black market merchants to buy equipment, potions, daily necessities, and warships, etc., and develop and expand your strength step by step.

Qin Feng didn't know why the United Prison would implement such a model of self-management of prisoners, perhaps this was some special tradition of the Inkyatir Empire. In some developed Western countries in the Overworld, prisons can also be privately contracted and run as enterprises to generate income, so it is not difficult to understand.

Of course, he is safe here, and there is no need to think about what will happen to the camp of the other fifty cell bosses in the future.

It's just that Qin Feng has no reason to meddle in his affairs now, unless these cell bosses are willing to be loyal to him, and only if he obeys his orders in the future, he will consider helping.

As the night wore on, black snowflakes began to fall in the sky, and a bitter cold wind whistled through, and a thick layer of ice had formed on the surface. The wind whipped up countless sand and stones, shooting all over the sky, and the power was comparable to that of the shotgun in the Overworld, even the prisoner's physique that had undergone many genetic optimizations could not withstand it, and he would be beaten to the head and bleeding.

A few hours later, a rocky mountain about a kilometer high appeared in Qin Feng's field of vision, the black-brown rocks were undulating, no trees could be seen, and occasionally some weed-like plants emerged from the cracks in the stones.

There are a lot of dark caves at the foot of the mountain, and there is a faint gray mist overflowing from it, Qin Feng sensed it slightly, and found that these caves are connected to the inside of the mountain, and the tunnels inside extend in all directions, and the deepest part is even beyond the scope of his own perception, and he doesn't know where it leads.

"The reserves of purple rock crystals in this mountain are relatively rich, which is a rare rich mine, and these natural tunnels are relatively spacious, as long as they are slightly trimmed, they can be used directly, and our first mine can be set up here." Qin Feng said.

"Then you'll have to clean up all the beasts inside, and you'll have to close the passages to the depths to keep your men safe." Ship Spirit Yu said.

"It's nature."

Qin Feng said, the life signs of the cave ** part reacted quite strongly, indicating that the creatures inside were very dangerous and aggressive, and any one of them that missed the net would cause heavy casualties to those ordinary prisoners.

"Roaring ——!"

After a moment of induction, Qin Feng let out a long roar steeply, and the rolling sound was like a giant dragon rushing into the depths of the cave, shaking the entire mountain trembling slightly, and the strong echo shock wave was refracted and superimposed many times in the tunnel, which had a terrifying lethality to the creatures inside.

After a few breaths, the whistling sounds suddenly reflected back from the cave, and they resounded chaotically, and I don't know how many murderous creatures were alarmed, and they all responded angrily.

A gust of vicious wind swept out, and at the entrance of the cave appeared a fierce beast shaped like a Siberian tiger, but it was much larger, surrounded by black mist, eyes like electricity, and even the light was slightly distorted.

"The genetic index is at least around 210, and the awakening of spiritual powers? It looks like it should belong to the Beastmaster level, but it's not simple. ”

Qin Feng raised his hand and pointed at it, and a wisp of sharp sword qi fell into the air, splitting its entire steel-hardened head in half, and the remnants of its body were swept into the depths of the starlight vortex and disappeared.

Soon, more beasts emerged from different caves and besieged him one after another.

The strength of these natives ranges from strength to strength, the most powerful genetic index exceeds 300, and the weakest will not be lower than 70 or 80, pouring out in groups to form a tide of beasts, perhaps a heavily armed starry sky marines will be bulldozed and eaten by them.

"As many as you want, give it to me!"

Qin Feng deliberately suppressed his own vitality, and spread out the delicious flesh and blood aura, magnifying it thousands of times, causing more fierce beasts to rush over like crazy.

The starlight vortex shrouded down, and thousands of sharp sword qi slashed down one after another, sweeping away the fierce beasts in the field of vision like a whirlwind and clouds, and the corpses were ingested into the depths of the vortex.

Under the influence of some mysterious spiritual energy field, these fierce beasts have forgotten their fears, and only the most primitive desire to hunt and kill remains, no matter how many of their kind die, they can't make them retreat half a step.

The grass-like killing feast lasted for more than half an hour, and the fierce beasts that emerged from the depths of the cave finally began to decrease, gradually becoming more and more sparse.

When the last fierce beast was killed, Qin Feng entered the cave alone and explored all the way along the long tunnel, although this place was as intricate as a labyrinth, but under the superb divine insight, there was no possibility of getting lost at all.

Compared to the hellish cold world outside, the temperature in the tunnel is still good, around 10 degrees above zero, which belongs to a veritable paradise, and it is no wonder that these fierce beasts like to make their homes underground. Even if they are not afraid of the cold, but they can make themselves comfortable, they will not refuse, this is the instinct of being a living being.

The previous clean-up operation was indeed a success, so much so that Qin Feng walked back and forth in the tunnel for more than an hour, but did not find any fish that slipped through the net, but only found some nests of fierce beasts, and some of them still had many unhatched fierce beast eggs or unknown plant fruits, all of which were thrown on the nine-layer star platform for sacrifice.

"There must be more powerful beasts lurking deeper in the tunnels, and now we don't have time to dig deeper, so let's seal these tunnels first and create a safe mining area to ......."

Ship Spirit Yu Lan said, Qin Feng had no objection to this, so under her guidance, the tunnels collapsed one after another under Qin Feng's great power, and then solidified into an alloy-like hard material, completely sealing the road to the depths.

In this way, even if an unusually strong beast wants to break through the collapse area, it will not be possible to do it in a short time, which can ensure the safety of the prisoners working here, and if he wants to continue exploring in the future, he can reopen the passage without being affected.

When I returned to the surface, the sky was already slightly bright, and as the sun appeared in the sky, the temperature was rising at a rate visible to the naked eye, and soon it was near freezing, and large swaths of snow and ice began to melt.

Qin Feng quietly returned to the city, and after a night of hunting, the available origin of the starship hub increased by nearly 100,000, and the progress of law analysis also increased a little accordingly.
