"Dang, Dang, Dang!" beside the huge blast furnace, several naked men were hammering a large piece of ore and hammering the whole ore into pieces.
Then, use a large shovel to pour the crushed ore into the hot smelting furnace on one side. With the pouring of crushed ore, a thick smoke rises instantly, and the magmatic ore liquid in the furnace also rolls violently, raising gurgling bubbles.
These furnace workers are smelting crude ore and calcining raw ore with extremely high content of various impurities through fire to extract semi-finished ore materials.
Later, these semi-finished mineral materials will be transported to the forging heavy industry room, roasted and melted into liquid by ground fire array, and then refined into qualified finished mineral materials by mechanism forging instruments.
This is the residence of the withered bones gang. It was originally an old large mine pit. The terrain looks like a concave valley surrounded by three sides and a gap on one side. Now, the high wall stacked with large rocks blocks blocks the gap on the other side, forming a large mine stronghold.
In addition, there is a magmatic river flowing out of the valley from the ground. Setting up a Dharma array is a natural ground fire to smelt ore. It is no wonder that the withered bones guild is located in this old mine. Although such magmatic rivers are not uncommon in the Yan cave layer.
Two days ago, Liu Yu came to the mining village with the camel team transporting ore. there are rows of tall furnaces, forging plants large and small, and a large number of furnace workers go in and out day and night, just like a huge refinery.
After two days, Liu Yu found that the mine stronghold was not simple. The first was the scale. There were more than 20 forging plants in the mine stronghold, with hundreds of furnace workers. Smoke billowed from the chimney of the plant every day. Liu Yu had supervised the shipyard for many years and was very familiar with the mineral smelting process and technology.
According to the daily output of these more than 20 forging plants, the amount of ore excavated by the withered bone Gang alone is far from enough to support the daily operation of such a large refinery. Obviously, there are other ore sources in the mine village.
Liu Yu privately inquired from a furnace worker and learned that the withered bone Gang not only mines by itself, but also buys ore from other mining gangs and teams in the area near NiuGuo town at a high price. Every day, there will be camel teams carrying all kinds of ore from outside.
Secondly, the guard of the mine stronghold is too strict. Outsiders on the high wall of the mine stronghold are close by mistake. There is also a forbidden area in the mine stronghold. External supervisors like Liu Yu and ordinary furnace workers are all forbidden to break in. It is said that the plants inside are refined with precious and rare holy materials.
Over the past two months, Liu Yu has generally found out the situation of the skeleton Gang through what he sees and hears on weekdays. The skeleton Gang is actually the next industry of the Yousha arena.
Most of the miners are debt gamblers, not only the gamblers under the "Yousha arena", but also the debt gamblers in other arenas. These gamblers were sold to the "Yousha arena".
This is what Liu Yu doesn't understand. Why does the "Yousha Gladiator" take so much trouble and consume a lot of manpower and material resources to mine in the depths of the earth.
Although mining can earn a lot of spiritual stones, with this human and material resources, mining in the bustling beluga port can earn more than mining in this remote place where birds don't shit.
There are also refineries of such a scale, which may have hidden secrets.
……
On the third day, the camel team left the mining village and returned to the mining camp in the ghost cave layer. Dozens of moose marched forward, with four empty "spirit mustard boxes" hanging on each moose's back.
The accompanying escort mine supervisor changed some new faces. From the conversation and laughter of these people, Liu Yu learned that it was a normal rotation within the withered bone Gang, including the "grey Fox" who had not been exposed in the past two months.
"Grey fox, you're on the wheel too!" the man with yellow face and dark eyes trotted to the grey Fox and joked.
"That's right! In the next few months, there will be no good life." grey fox shook his head and smiled bitterly. He worked in the gang. He either stayed in the mine stronghold or sent abroad with the mine team. After two or three months of comfortable life, he was arranged to go out again, and the hard life will come again.
Staying in the mine stronghold is naturally the best. You can not only live a relaxed and comfortable life, but also sneak to NiuGuo town for a few drinks when you are free, and talk to the maid who is a good friend of the tavern.
It's hard for the mining team to be dispatched abroad. Let's not say that they are tired like dogs all day, but that if they hit any powerful ghosts, not to mention those short-lived miners, even their supervisors who act as guards will risk their lives. The ghost cave layer is not a place for people.
"Yes! It's going to be hard next!" the man sighed and muttered with empathy.
……
The original three-day journey, due to the no-load travel of the camel team, and I don't know what happened, the leader ordered the camel team to travel at full speed, with few stops. In only two days, the camel team rushed to the mining camp on the ghost cave floor. When they arrived at the camp, they learned the reason for the hurry.
Just three days ago, the lion belly sub mining team that went out to mine in the camp was attacked by many "dark demons". Two mine supervisors were killed on the spot, more than a dozen miners were killed, and many strong miners were abducted. Therefore, the camp was forced to suspend all mining operations these two days.
For one thing, the pack team transported ore to the mine stronghold and took some supervisors away, making the camp guard weak.
Second, the ghost of "dark spirit Banshee" is as smart as people. It is cunning and insidious. It is very difficult to deal with. In addition, there are many "dark spirit banshees". In order to avoid unnecessary deaths and injuries, the deputy leader mangsha had to order that everyone should not take a step out of the camp.
At Mao, the tent of the camp dining hall was full of miners eating. With more than 20 supervisors escorting the pack team back to the camp, the deputy leader mangsha decided to resume mining. After eating, as usual, each team went out to mine.
"Did you hear that? It was the dark enchantress!" whispered a miner.
"I've heard that few people in the lion belly team survived!" another miner immediately replied.
"It's too bad! I don't know if these evil stars have gone, but don't find our team!" a thin young miner said to a man next to him with a blue face.
"Don't worry! You're too thin to pull. Those" dark charm banshees "don't look up at them at all. It's said that they like strong men like men!" a strong man next to him got up and gestured his strong arms, joking.
"Hey! It's said that those" dark charm banshees "have breast fat buttocks and gorgeous looks. They are all peerless beauties. They can have a good time before they die!" another miner smiled obscene.
"Ha, ha, well said, it's not a loss to die on the belly of these banshees!"
There were bursts of laughter in the dining hall shed. The originally repressed atmosphere dissipated in an instant, and then there were more meat jokes. Senior old miners like "old black bull" shook their heads and lamented that these young people really didn't know how to live or die.
When they see the tragic death of those kidnapped by the dark demon banshee, these young people will really understand the fame of these gorgeous banshees.
"Old black bull" has stayed in the withered bone gang for nearly 30 years. In fact, he has already paid off his gambling debt. He just stays here to earn more spirit stones for his younger generation. Underground mining is dangerous, but his income is really not low.
In the past 30 years, he has seen many "dark enchantress" attacks on the mining team, especially in the last ten years, once every three or four years.
Every time the "dark succubus Banshee" will abduct some strong miners for pleasure. They will leave only after they are satisfied. When they find these miners, they will become skeletons covered with a layer of dry skin.
……
"Old black bull, the rest of the lion belly mining team are assigned to our team. You can arrange it." when the old Bull team gathered and set out, the team head "ghost tooth" led more than a dozen dispirited miners to the side of the mine head "old black bull" and said.
"Don't worry, sir! The sixth son assigned the work to these brothers!" the old black cow nodded hurriedly. The remaining dozen people in the lion belly mining team knew all the people in the old cow mining team and soon made arrangements.
"Xuankong Taoist friend, let me introduce you. This is grey fox. He is a new member of our team." the rest of the lion belly mining team have been incorporated into the old cow mining team, so the Deputy guild leader added a mining supervisor to the old cow mining team, and this person is "grey Fox".
"I'm sorry, Xuankong. I've seen a Taoist friend!" Liu Yu nodded and said hello.
"Taoist priest, you're welcome. Just call me" grey Fox ". By the way, look at Taoist priest's familiar face. Have we met somewhere!" grey fox smiled and said hello. Looking closely, he always felt that this Zhongzhou Taoist had never seen again, but most of these Zhongzhou people looked the same and couldn't remember for a moment.
"Oh! Yes! I've only traveled to the North Sea in recent years. I think my Taoist friend should recognize the wrong person, or the person he knows is somewhat similar to the poor Taoist priest." Liu Yu said calmly.
The "grey Fox" had only two sides with himself. Once he cheated himself with a fake spirit ticket, and another time he just passed by in the arena. If it weren't for the death of his senior brother, Liu Yu would not recognize the "grey Fox" even if he stood in front of him.
He doesn't believe that a lazy liar like "grey Fox" can recognize him at a glance. People like "grey Fox" didn't know how many strangers they met every day in beluga harbor. Over the years, how can he remember the strangers who passed by in a hurry more than ten years ago.
"Grey fox, you must have made a mistake! There are" dark enchanted banshees "around the camp, and you all know that we will leave more snacks later!" as soon as ghost tooth waved his hand, he called the people of the mining team to start. These "dark enchanted banshees" appeared again. It's really troublesome.
"Forget it!" gray fox thought carefully, but he still didn't think where he had seen this Taoist. He didn't think much more. He had seen too many Zhongzhou Taoist in beluga harbor. He thought he should have lost his eyes. In his opinion, most of these Zhongzhou people have black eyes and white faces.
……
In a dark cave near the skeleton Gang camp, on a large stone slab covered with a thick soft leather blanket, there are three charming women in thin clothes. The three women have long hair, black silk like a waterfall, thin hips and waist, hug each other, white long legs like snakes, and the cave is full of spring.
"Smelly Taoist, you finally appeared!" suddenly a woman in the middle suddenly opened her eyes and sat up. The woman's twin peaks were towering, but her skin color was golden and white. There was a fake gold mask on the left. Only the right side was a plump and soft snow peak, which was not Miji, the "dark charm Banshee" who was cut off by Liu Yu.
"Sister, what's the matter!" the petite woman on the left opened her hazy eyes, stretched her waist and whispered.
"The smelly Taoist who hurt me was nearby!" Mi Ji said with angry eyes and teeth.
"What! What are you waiting for? Let's kill it now." the little girl was deeply in love with her sisters and immediately sat up and said.
"This Taoist and the gang of mine Gang should be together. Go and have a look first!" the woman lying on the right side is more beautiful than Mi Ji and the petite woman. Her cultivation is also the highest among the three women. She also feels the smell of "charm flower demon seal" in the distance.
"What about these wastes!" the petite woman pointed to some black shadows lying horizontally and vertically under the big stone slab. When she looked carefully, the black shadow lying on the ground was a weak naked man.
These men are thin into a skeleton, unable to lie on the ground, leaving only a layer of wrinkled dry skin stuck to the bones. They look like people and ghosts.
"Kill it!" Mi Ji waved a black blade and flew out, cutting a naked man lying on the ground in half, but only a few faint threads of blood flowed from the wound of the body.
