Chapter 39: Iron Mine in Hand

A bunch of ordinary weapons were thrown to the ground, and Li Lei took out the ghost head knife again, and took a few steps back to stand.

"I'll give you a chance to live, pick up your weapons, kill me and you can leave. ”

The miners looked at each other, and a gray-haired man jumped out of the crowd, and instead of picking up his weapon, he looked at him with a miserable smile.

"Lord Heaven's Punishment, don't make fun of us damn ghosts. We really deserve to die, many people don't want to live for a long time, and they just want to be able to see their wives and children before they die. Look at me, I'm not even forty years old. Please, Lord Heaven's Punishment, even if you can give our family a message and let us die~"

"Please, Heavenly Punishment~"

Nearly 100 miners knelt on the ground and pleaded, they had no tears, and some of them only had muddy blood flowing from their eyes. Li Lei closed his eyes and sighed, they are all poor people! But if you think about it, you really can't let them go, as long as these people leave the mine, it won't be long before they will be arrested or killed as fugitive slaves. Hey, let's keep it for now!

"Wait a minute~"

Li Lei opened the big iron door a crack, dodged out, and immediately released all the people with the eastern faces in the floating immortal island. Then he asked the housekeeper to send out a batch of grain and a cauldron, and people didn't know what Li Lei was going to do, so they all looked at him.

"Look at what I'm doing? You'll know what's going on when you go in. After saying that, he walked in with a big iron pot in one hand and a bag of grain in the other, and the others hurriedly followed with the food, and they were all startled when they entered the courtyard. The miners inside are all inhuman!

In a small cave on the side of the rock wall, they also found the things that the miners usually eat, moldy bean cake residues, which usually don't even eat livestock! The miners tried to help, but when they saw that no one stopped them, they all started to do it, and they couldn't wait to stuff rice and all kinds of beans into their mouths.

"You are"

Jiaojiao looked at the white-haired mine slave leader who was busy around her, and asked suspiciously, and the mine slave leader laughed miserably.

"A damn person, if my daughter were still alive, she would be as old as you, but her life is not as good as your life, she was sold to the Qinglou since she was a child, and I don't know where she is now. Don't cry, forgiveness ~ forgiveness ~ I will kowtow to you, if the Heavenly Punishment Lord sees it, he will kill us. ”

"Don't kneel~ Are you called Jiao Fugui?" Jiaojiao was already shouting tears in her eyes when she said this, this white-haired mine slave leader was slowly overlapping with the memories of childhood.

"How do you know my name?

Jiao Fugui's kneeling figure was supported by Jiaojiao with both hands, as if she realized something, and asked Jiaojiao's name tremblingly, and the tears in Jiaojiao's eyes could no longer stop gushing out.

"Dad~I'm your daughter Jiaojiao~"

The heart-rending cry sounded, and everyone who heard it was moved, especially Li Lei and the others, who did not expect to find Jiaojiao's father in the mining slaves, Li Lei wiped a cold sweat, fortunately he did not kill all these mining slaves! And Jiaojiao and Jiao Fugui had already hugged their heads and cried together.

The heartbreaking scene not only aroused the hope of the mine slaves to Zaijian's relatives, but also made a group of people from the floating fairy island burst into tears, Li Lei hurriedly signaled Pan Xiaoxuan and the others to comfort them, and took out dishes and chopsticks to serve porridge to the people. was persuaded by people to leave, Jiaojiao first told Jiao Fugui about what had happened over the years, and then pulled him to Li Lei, kowtowed heavily to the ground, and Li Lei quickly helped them up.

"Lord Heaven's Punishment, Jiaojiao's mother's life has been gone for a long time, my only hope to live is to see Jiaojiao, now my wish has been fulfilled, my sins are unforgivable, I have done too many things that God is angry and resentful, and I am willing to die. ”

"Master, my father doesn't want to do those cruel things, just spare my father, I am willing to die for him. ”

The two cried bitterly one after another, and then hugged their heads and cried, and Li Lei dragged them up one by one.

"It's all a family, don't talk about this, even if you do more heinous things, you will be forced, and this matter is over. Not only you, but all your subordinates, I have forgiven all the mistakes, and in the future, be an upright person, follow me to do a good job, and then write down the names and addresses of your relatives you want to see, and I will send someone to help you find them, and if you find them, let them be brought, and you will decide for yourself whether to go or stay when the time comes. ”

His words rang loudly, and all the miners shed blood and tears again, whimpering and kneeling down to thank them, and Li Lei motioned for the people to quickly smash the shackles on their feet. The shackles don't have keyholes, they're all nailed shackles, and it's a lot of work.

Seeing that the miners were wiped with blood and tears from the corners of their eyes and were brought to the cauldron to drink porridge, Li Lei motioned to Pan Xiaoxuan, Li Changhai and others to guard the entrance of the mine, and took Xia Yufeng and other three refiners and a miner from the eastern hole into the mine.

The mine is a little dim, there is only an oil lamp for lighting at a long distance, the rock wall is hard rock containing iron ore, but there is no need to use other objects to support, the dark passage stretches all the way, and people walk in it, as if they have been swallowed by a huge beast.

"The iron content of this ore is so low that it has no value to be mined. ”

The miner touched the rock wall and opened his mouth first, Xia Yufeng and the two refiners also touched the rock wall, and Xia Yufeng also complained a little dissatisfied.

"Yes, although this ore can be refined, it can consume too much manpower, relying on the three of us, we have to tire us to death. ”

"What's the hurry, let's take a look inside, I don't have any patience, this is the entrance of the cave. ”

Li Lei was also worried in his heart, he was afraid that this was a poor mine, but he also knew in his heart that the iron content of the ore was not high, otherwise the Iron Alliance would not pay so much attention to it.

This mine has been dug by people for several layers, and people who go up to the top of the layer do not pay attention, it is estimated that it has been hollowed out a long time ago, all the way to Xiangxia, passing by several layers also ignored it, I feel that I have gone deep into the ground and continue to move forward, and I only stopped when I reached the bottom layer. Then he walked to the end of the mine and summoned Natasha and another foreigner miner.

"The iron content of the ore here is okay. ”

As soon as Natasha came out, she heard the miner who had been following Li Lei talking, reached out and stroked the rock wall as well, and then waved the mine pick in her hand at the rock wall a few times, the characteristics of the miner came into play, the hard rock wall was as fragile as tofu when it touched the iron pickaxe, and a large piece of ore fell down, and a large pile was dug out in a few clicks.

Looking down at the newly excavated iron ore, Natasha smiled, "The veins they dug don't seem to be going in the right direction, I'll try something else." ”

This shijie mining is all with mining slaves, which is inefficient, and the exploration of ore veins is based on personal experience, there is a miner profession in the floating fairy island, as soon as the voice fell, Natasha took the other two miners, and the "jingle bell" began to dig around, and the others couldn't help so they had to collect the ore they dug into the floating fairy island, seeing that their mining speed was too fast, Li Lei simply got the other foreigners on the island out and carried them together.

"Found it~"

With Natasha's excited roar, people from other directions hurriedly gathered around her, only to see her digging a large hole diagonally down the rock wall of a mine, and the other two miners bending down to pick up the ore she had dug up, with smiles on their faces.

"The iron content of the ore is starting to increase, and if you dig it up like this, you should be able to dig out a vein of rich ore, but I don't know what the production will be. After speaking, he threw the iron ore in his hand into the floating fairy island and joined the excavation.

"Owner, get the three of us back, let's refine the ore first. ”

The three refiners also had smiles on their faces, and at their suggestion, Li Lei simply gave them the permission to enter and exit freely, but these people did not have soul power themselves, and asked the housekeeper to give them two hundred of the soul power on their bodies.

Miners are flying with pickaxes, people are hurrying to pick up iron ore, a new mine is gradually being dug out, the iron content of the ore is gradually increasing, and people are smiling.

But Li Lei looked at the hard-working people and grinned, God knows how many reserves there are in this iron ore, you can't rely on this person to keep digging like this, it seems that you have to rely on those mining slaves, but the mining volume of more than 100 mining slaves is not necessarily faster than these three professional miners, and the mining slaves can't let the miners see the appearance of Natasha and the others, which makes him in a dilemma. It seemed that the only guy with the eastern face in the miners could only be left here, and just as he was about to call the other party to discuss, a cheer came into his ears again.

"Hahaha, finally something good has come out~"

As the cheers rang out, Natasha came to Li Lei with a piece of iron ore with a big black head, "Look, dear, I dug out the Kuaixuan iron ore, and my luck is really good." ”

Dark iron is an important material for refining spiritual weapons, adding some when refining, will make the spiritual weapons sharper and stronger, and so on to refine high-end spiritual weapons, ordinary ore will be useless, this dark iron will also be one of the main materials.

When the iron was dug up, the people were even more excited, and the thought of talking to the only Oriental miner was also forgotten, and people even drew their weapons to help with the digging, although it was much slower than the miners, but it was much faster than the miners.

The cheers came from time to time, the iron ore is very recognizable, the whole exudes a dark light, but the output is not large, scattered and dug out, the size is not the same, the big head is not found again, the fist is big or only the size of the broad bean is found some, people's enthusiasm gradually dissipated, when the iron content of ordinary ore also began to decrease, all enthusiasm completely disappeared, this rich ore vein, only more than 100 meters, this mine is really a garbage iron mine.

The three miners were unwilling to look around for rich ore veins again, and Li Lei came to the Oriental miner's side.

"Fu Hejia, discuss something with you. ”

Fu Hejia, who was wielding a mining pick, stopped, wiped the sweat stains on his head, and looked at Li Lei with a smile: "The owner of the island wants me to manage this mine, right? As long as I can deal with those cannibalistic guys, I'm fine, I don't want to become dung!"

"Jiaojiao's father is the leader of the mine slaves, and with food, they shouldn't eat people. If you still don't feel at ease, I'll let Ding Si hire some guards and put them on the ground and let them be managed by you. I'll give you some more soul power and the right to enter and leave the fairy island freely, and hide in it if there is any danger. ”

"That's it, I'll leave it to me here, it's better to get more miners, I'll hollow out this mine as soon as possible, this mine is really not of much interest. ”

Seeing that he agreed, Li Lei was a matter of concern, and asked the rest of the people to stop digging and send them to the Floating Immortal Island, and walked with Fu Hejia in great strides.
