Chapter 420: The Sorrowful Miner

After being taken to the Lingshi mining area by the guards of the spirit stone vein, Li Mo and the others were each given a basket and a spirit shovel.

It's just that after arriving here, the previous guard, who was extremely attentive to Li Mo, changed his attitude.

"Work hard here, you can rest for two hours a day, the rest of the time you have to report to the mining area, every month I will give you a reward of one hundred medium-grade spirit stones, if you want to earn more spirit stones, then you have to be diligent every day, the more spirit stones you dig, we will give you additional rewards every month, if there are digging up the best spirit stones, they will give pills." ”

The voice was so cold that it sounded like it was facing an animal

Li Mo didn't feel that compared to the guards in the Lingshi Vein District, he was really a good boss.

No wonder this spirit stone vein can't find workers who only give two hours of rest a day, is this what people do?

Even if the monk doesn't have to rest, but if he repeats this kind of work of digging spirit stones every day, he will be tired like a god.

"You don't have to start work on the first day today, you follow this team first, see how people dig, okay go." The guard explained again, and sent Li and the others away.

Li Mo looked at the five people standing in front of them, the magic clothes on their bodies were already a little white, loosely on their bodies, and the expressions of the five people were so withered that there was no trace of life.

Adhering to the principle of courtesy and not blame, Li Mo took the 10,000-year-old python and Nie Feiyuan to follow them from the big hole in the mining area, and then walked through the winding mine road with a cat's waist, and came to a small hole, and after completely isolating himself from the other monks who came to mine, he took out some low-grade spirit fruits on his body.

"We are all new here, and we are not very familiar with digging spirit stones, so please give me more advice. Li Mo said with a smile.

Nie Feiyuan looked at Li Mo, who was so inferior to several low-level cultivators, and admired him even more.

The five of them accepted Li Mo's spirit fruit, put it on the tip of their noses and smelled the fragrant aroma of the spirit fruit, and their eyes regained a trace of agility.

"You're a pretty good person, don't worry, we'll teach you what we know. One of the men, who didn't look very old but had a face that looked like a fifty-year-old, said.

Li Mo hurriedly thanked him.

A thin middle-aged man behind the old man's face glanced at Li Mo with some sympathy, "You can't be deceived by those guards, right?" ”

The 10,000-year-old python thought it was very funny for Li Mo to pretend to be a low-level monk, so he followed his example and replied to the man: "No, no, our three sisters and brothers came voluntarily, and the guard who brought us over said that as long as we work hard here, it is not a problem to stand on thousands of medium-grade spirit stones or five-grade elixirs a month." ”

"Aren't you being deceived like this, that's it, even if you know the truth, what can you do, since you have come here, as long as you still have the strength to work, they will not let you go. ”

Li Mo still couldn't understand why they looked so bitter and hateful? Wasn't it just digging spirit stones? If they didn't want to dig, wouldn't it be good to sit in this hole and rest, what was there to complain about.

"That big brother, can we start digging?" Li Moqiang said to the five men with a hippie smile on his face.

The five men also felt that it was not good to waste so much time, and they all took out the shovels in their hands and began to dig.

Li Mo watched their movements, and really sympathized with them, a spirit tree shoveled down, and they couldn't even dig out a spirit stone, but they still kept digging.

At the back, Li Mo and the people of the 10,000-year-old python, who were full of interest, had no interest in watching them dig spirit stones.

The five of them dug for three hours in a row, and there were less than a hundred spirit stones in the basket in total.

Moreover, this small hole is very short, and people working in it have to keep bending over, and they can't even stand up straight.

The five people who taught Li Mo and the others to dig spirit stones worked for four hours in a row before they stopped, looking at Li Mo and the three of them who were sitting in the corner of the mine, eating and drinking, although they were a little envious, they didn't dare to join them.

The eldest one kindly mentioned because he received Li Mo's spirit fruit, "It's the first time you have a spirit stone today, and it doesn't matter if you don't dig it, but from tomorrow onwards, the three of you must dig out at least fifty spirit stones every day, otherwise those guards will not let you have a good life." If you want to live a better life, then you have to dig up at least a hundred spirit stones every day. ”

At first, Li Mo and the others didn't understand what he meant, until the sun was up, and everyone began to walk out of the mine one after another.

Those who handed in too few spirit stones would be severely beaten without exception, while those who handed in a large number of spirit stones would be able to exchange some spiritual liquid from the guards to restore spiritual energy.

"That big brother, I want to ask, do you have to come out every day to hand in spirit stones?" asked Li Mo when he found a guard who had brought them to the mine during the day.

"If you want to stay inside for a few days in a row, you can do it, I have to come out to report once a month at most, if the number of spirit stones dug up is not enough, then, hehe......" The guard also explained to him for Li Mo's more positive sake.

As soon as the guard's words were finished, Li Mo saw a person who did not dare to come out of the mine because he had not dug enough spirit stones, and was dragged out of the mine by two guards himself after the expiration of a month, and then stripped off his shirt and hung on the fire opposite the miners' dormitory.

The man cried incessantly and begged for mercy on the fire, but in exchange for the guards and more severe whippings.

This whip should have been specially refined by the people of Danta, and each whip could be drawn to the depths of that person's soul.

Listening to the man's terrible screams, most of the miners curled up with empathy, fearing that one day they would become him, and the other half of the miners were not afraid, their eyes were glazed, as if they were used to such a life, but they were no different from the walking dead.

Nie Feiyuan may have looked at the miners, and thought of the miserable years he had in the Demon King City, and shrank behind Li Mo with some horror, seeing that he was really scared, and Li Mo didn't want to rest in the same place as those miners, so he pulled Nie Feiyuan and the 10,000-year-old python to find the guard again, "Big brother, I want to take my brother into the mine to start work now, can you?"

The guards looked at Nie Feiyuan's trembling body, and thought they were frightened by a miner who was whipping, "It's time to rest, but if you want to go, go ahead." ”
