They were already deep in the earth's core.
The huge pit in the ground, as well as the surrounding mountain walls, were not made of ice, but solid rocks.
These dark brown rocks contained rich metal components, mixed with layers of spirit stone veins.
Without a doubt, they had reached the mining area.
The four tunnels around the huge pit led to the East, West, South, and North mining areas.
Each mine was a thousand feet high, like the mouth of a giant beast that was about to devour its prey.
The four commanders led the group into the North tunnel, following the wide and dark tunnel, heading towards the North Mining Area.
The main tunnel was straight, slanted downwards, and led to a few hundred kilometers underground.
Every five kilometers, a side tunnel would be cut into the walls of the main tunnel, leading to the depths of the ore veins.
If the main tunnel was the trunk of a tree, then the side tunnels were the branches. They were densely connected to the trunk, forming a huge network of tunnels.
Every side tunnel had a number, making it easier to distinguish and manage.
The group flew for more than two hundred kilometers in the main tunnel before stopping at the entrance of tunnel number 42.
One of the commanders called out the names of the four Divine Servants and ordered, "The four of you will be in charge of this tunnel number 42 from today onwards!
There are more than eight hundred miners inside. You can assign the manpower as you see fit. You must complete the mining mission.
I will come here every two days to inspect. If you do not complete the mission, you will be severely punished! "
The four Divine Servants could only accept the order and enter the tunnel with gloomy expressions.
Next, the group continued to walk in the main tunnel.
Every time they reached a tunnel entrance, the golden-armored commander would assign four or five Divine Servants to each tunnel.
As time passed, the number of Divine Servants decreased.
After two hours, more than forty Divine Servants had been assigned.
Only Ji Tianxing and three Divine Servants were left for last.
One of the commanders led the four of them to tunnel number 59 and ordered in a dignified voice, "The four of you will be in charge of this tunnel number 59 from now on.
There are more than two hundred miners in this tunnel. The four of you can discuss among yourselves.
No matter what, you must complete the mission every day. You must mine ten thousand spirit stones and one hundred gems.
I will come here every two days to inspect. If you do not complete the mission, your monthly allowance will be deducted and you will be punished! "
The golden-armored commander's surname was Ding. He was a thin, middle-aged man with a mustache. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.
When Ji Tianxing and the three Divine Servants heard his words, they immediately frowned.
"Commander Ding, why are there eight hundred to a thousand miners in the other tunnels, but there are only two hundred in mine number 59?"
"That's right! Commander Ding said that there are at least five hundred people in the tunnels, but we only have two hundred. Isn't it too little? "
"We have fewer miners, but we have the same mission..................
...................
Ji Tianxing's sharp senses told him that there was something wrong with the mine, so he raised his doubts first.
The other three Divine Servants echoed his words and pleaded with Commander Ding, expressing that it was unfair.
Unexpectedly, Commander Ding frowned and scolded them coldly, "Bastards! This is the rule set by the higher-ups. How dare you criticize it?
I will only follow the rules and carry out orders. No matter what method you use, you must complete the mission every day!
Remember, you are here as slaves, not some bullshit genius. If you can't complete the mission, you will be punished! "
After saying that, Commander Ding snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Everyone looked at his back as he left. They all frowned and their eyes flashed with shame and anger.
Little did they know that Commander Ding was secretly muttering in his heart, "Damn it, these four brats are not easy to fool. How dare they complain to me!
However, Manager Du and the four Guardians could not find out the truth.
The miners in the other tunnels would rather die than come here. What can I do?
It won't be long before these four hotheads and the two hundred miners die an unnatural death, right? "
Thinking of this, Commander Ding felt a chill run down his back. He hurriedly sped up and left.
Ji Tianxing and the three Divine Servants could only accept reality. They turned around and entered the 59Ore Mine.
After entering the mine, the four of them sized up the terrain of the mine as they discussed.
"I've long heard that the Glacier Divine Mine is a burial ground. Countless people die of exhaustion every year. I didn't expect it to be true.
The environment and conditions of the mine are worse than we imagined. Everyone should be careful. "
The one who spoke first was a red-robed youth named Wu Xu. He was a young genius of the Thousand Snow Empire.
"I just don't understand. Why do others have thousands of miners while we only have two hundred?
Did we offend that Commander Ding?
That's impossible! We just arrived here yesterday and didn't do anything! "
The thin and tall youth named Zheng Rong grumbled with a gloomy face.
He was a genius of the Da Qian Empire. Like Wu Xu, he was at the fourth level of the Essence Soul realm.
"Maybe that Commander Ding saw that the four of us were too handsome and stole his limelight. That's why he suppressed us."
The black-robed youth named Bai Kaixuan laughed in a self-deprecating tone. His smile was bitter.
Only Ji Tianxing remained silent as he observed his surroundings expressionlessly.
The three of them discussed for a while before looking at him. One of them asked, "Ke Lan, why aren't you saying anything? What are you thinking about?"
Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows and said solemnly, "Our 59Ore Mine is in the deepest part of the main mine. It's three hundred miles underground.
I have a feeling that there's something wrong with this mine. Everyone, be prepared. "
The three of them frowned and revealed worried expressions.
"Ke Lan, don't scare us. What problem can there be in the mine?"
"I think Ke Lan is right. I have the same feeling. Let's listen to him and be careful."
"Let's not worry too much. Let's take a look inside the mine first."
The four of them walked through a winding mine tunnel and entered the mine. They arrived at the mining area.
There was a huge and empty cave in front of them.
The cave was surrounded by steep cliffs and precipitous rock walls. The dark brown rock walls shimmered with a clear brilliance, mixed with a layer of light blue spirit stones.
On the ground and rock walls, man-made holes and cracks could be seen everywhere.
More than two hundred miners dressed in gray linen clothes were scattered in every corner of the mine.
At a glance, the miners were dressed in tattered clothes and had messy hair. They looked rather sloppy.
Furthermore, on the surface, they looked like they were casually digging into the rock walls to extract spirit stones and gems.
