The work in the mine is very boring. Although the three of them have task targets, it is naturally impossible for Li Mu to really let Su Fenqiao and Azi dig with pickaxes. He is responsible for everything.
Fortunately, Huo Chen's management style is very user-friendly. Except for occasional inspections, the miners' work is basically not restricted. Everything is result-oriented. As long as you complete the assigned tasks, it doesn't matter how you do it.
Taking advantage of such a reasonable division of labor, while Li Mu was pretending to sweat profusely, Su Fenqiao and Azi used their respective "specialties" to wander around the No. 7 mine, constantly seeking useful information from other workers.
The two people pretending to be sisters, one is mature and gentle, the other is innocent and cute, they are just right in the hearts of men. In addition, Azi often helps the workers with some trivial logistical chores, so that in just a few days, they become the whole family. The "group favorite" of Mine No. 7.
"Sister Azi, come on, look at this. This is the candy cake rewarded by the fire manager. Take it and try it with your sister. Haha, thank you. You helped me mend all my clothes. Don't say it, sister. Your craftsmanship is really good, I think it will last for several years."
"Sister, sister, come here, brother, I have something good for you. This is what I brought back from Nanxun Town with the fire steward. How about the colorful windmill? It looks good. Let's go out and enjoy the wind while we rest. , better looking.”
Due to various reasons, these workers were reduced to working for the Guixu Cult in this rocky abyss. Some of them were voluntary like Li Mu and others, just to beg for food, and some were deceived and forced to come here, but no matter No matter how much suffering they suffered, they at least still had a chance to survive in Pit No. 7, but their chances were countless times better than those of other workers in the giant layered rock abyss.
As time went by, the three of them, Li Mu, gradually integrated into this group. They would drink and celebrate with Huo Chen and the other Guixu disciples who were responsible for guarding the No. 7 mine after finishing work in the evening. They would be filled with indignation because the superiors deliberately imposed difficult targets. In this vast abyss of rock that should have been filled with indifference, they actually felt a sense of home similar to that of the Sima Qiu branch of the resistance army.
This made Li Mu a little incredible. He was clearly in the enemy's lair, but he saw a strange brilliance hidden under the sin and blood. Even Su Fenqiao, a demon princess, had to sigh deep in her heart that human beings are indeed complicated. And a magical race.
Time passes day by day, and Li Mu is completely familiar with the environment and operation of the layered rock abyss. After the red ore is dug out, it will be uniformly transported to the smelting site deep in the abyss, and then through simple rough processing They packed the boxes directly, and then another team of Guixu disciples, who were significantly stronger, hoisted them to the dock on the north side, and then sent them directly to the Guixu Temple.
There are two points that can be conquered in the whole link. One is the smelting field. In the entire layered rock abyss, the smelting field is a relatively closed existence. Except for laborers and a small number of guards, there are no more defense forces deployed, at least. This is what Li Mu saw.
The second is the dock hoisting process. During this process, if you can pretend to be a boatman or a guard, you may be able to directly sneak into the mining ship heading to the Guixu Temple, thereby achieving Li Mu's ultimate goal.
The former has less risk and is easy to hide its whereabouts. If it is accidentally exposed, there is still room for maneuver. The latter is a one-step approach and goes straight to the Huanglong. The disadvantage is that once on the ship, it is easy to be in a dilemma, and in the worst case, it may even happen again. He made the same mistake as when he was directly killed by Tang Guan at sea.
Ever since he "died" last time and then relied on the Explosive Illustrated System to successfully restart, Li Mu had forced himself to plan everything more carefully. If he died again, he was not sure that the simulation system would give the same result. The chance of resurrection might really be game over.
"My suggestion is to do it directly at the dock. Although the risk in the smelting site is smaller, our goal is to return to the Ruixu Temple. It has been more than ten days since we came to the Rock Abyss, and there is no news from the resistance at all. , we can’t wait any longer, we must take the initiative.”
Su Fenqiao still maintained his fierce style. While wiping the short knife in his hand, he said in a tone that could not be refuted.
"Sister Su, don't worry. Brother Li must have other considerations. Moreover, if something goes wrong in the smelting field, my father can help. Once we leave Guixu Island, if we encounter a powerful enemy, we can only rely on ourselves. ."
Azi's mind is extremely delicate, and Nagato Yan's help within the scope of Guixu Island is indeed an important part that cannot be ignored. According to him, as long as the three deputy leaders of the Guixu Sect gather on the island, they can There is nothing they can do against him. This is undoubtedly a reassurance for Li Mu and the others, and it also greatly increases the "error-tolerance rate" of the plan.
The last three people voted, two to one, and the plan was determined to be to infiltrate the smelting site, collect enough intelligence, and then try to get on board the ship among the labor force or the ore, so as to infiltrate the Guixu Temple.
That night, after work was over, the entire No. 7 Mine was plunged into quiet darkness. Due to its excellent efficiency, Huo Chen never asked the workers to work overtime. At this time, except for the two Guixu Cult disciples who were responsible for guarding, everyone else entered After falling asleep, apart from the constant snoring in the mine, there were only a few kerosene lamps creaking.
Li Mu and Su Fenqiao opened their eyes at the same time, called Azi who was also not asleep, and the three of them quietly came to the exit of the mine.
The two disciples of the Guixu Sect were only at the most ordinary level of entry into the Dan Formation Realm. They were knocked unconscious without even reacting in front of Li Mu and the others.
After placing the two of them securely on the ground, Li Mu took the lead to poke his head out. It was already late at night, but there were still lights on in many places in the layered rock abyss. These were mines that liked to squeeze workers. The non-stop mining in shifts and the faint knocking sound echoed in the abyss, which seemed a bit strange.
The bodies of Li Mu and the others were electrified, and they cleverly used the complex terrain of the layered rock abyss to avoid the sight of the patrol. Their strength in the Infinite Realm allowed them to quickly break through the first layer of defense and enter the darker depths of the mine. at.
From here on, there is no light source from the outside that can shine in. It relies entirely on lamps or some kind of ore that emits blue fluorescence as lighting. The black fog that emerges from time to time makes it easier for people to lose their way, even if they have worked here for many years. If an old miner accidentally walks into a fork in the road, he will be completely trapped in endless darkness.
