As time goes by, it is already the deep winter of thirty-three years.
Xuanyin is bitter and cold, and all things are extinct.
Su Wu tightened his slightly thin leather jacket and shook his slightly heavy head.
The temperature is getting lower and lower, and some areas have even reached the point where dripping water turns into ice, and here in the mine shaft, it is even more bitter and cold.
In such an environment, his demonic instinct began to take over, and he would feel sleepy from time to time.
only...
"You can't hibernate!"
Su Wu sighed quietly in his heart.
The current situation is mysterious and dangerous. If you choose to hibernate rashly, you might wake up and meet the King of Hell. Moreover, although hibernation helps survive the cold winter, it wastes a lot of time in vain.
There are so many things that are always in a hurry and we only seize the day. In three to five months, anything can happen.
"It's just consuming more meat. It's nothing to suffer and tired. Compared with the loss of hibernation, it's completely within the tolerable range."
Su Wu was thinking about his thoughts, but suddenly felt a cool breeze coming.
Looking up, he saw Huanyan pushing aside the boulder blocking the entrance of the cave and walking in with a solemn expression.
"Why do you have the time to come to my place today?"
"Come on, sit down!"
Su Wu made a place and motioned for the wolf demon to take a seat.
Now that the blood mine mining is on track, Yeyou Palace has opened up a small gathering place here, located not far from the mine shaft.
Most of the demon clan involved in the mine also live here. The heads and heads of each mining site also live here.
Since the mining monsters were quite wealthy, a small market developed here over time, gradually attracting many monsters from other areas to set up stalls.
So although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
It is even more lively than the small markets in the sewage land, and there are more varieties of traded goods.
As for the place where Su Wu was staying, it was in a relatively remote location, in the southeast corner of the gathering place, in a small mine that was farthest from the mine shaft but close to the main escape road.
"Why don't you light a fire?"
"It's so cold here, I'm sorry you can bear it."
The wolf demon shivered and complained.
"How can I not be as wealthy as Brother Kuang? You control the food of five hundred demons, and you are already extremely rich even if you just run the business."
"The dry firewood I stored needs to be boiled with medicinal materials. I don't want to use it indiscriminately."
Su Wu rolled his eyes, but he still brought a stone pot the size of a human head, put in four or five dry firewood, set up another stone pot, and then lit the bonfire.
"You don't usually come to my place."
"What, do we need to exorcise the team, or is there something wrong with the mine?"
Su Wu asked casually while throwing a few pieces of dried meat into the stone pot and adding some water.
The warm flames dispelled the coldness around him, making him feel lazy all over his body, unable to lift his spirits and making him want to sleep even more.
"mean!"
"More!"
Huanyan grabbed the dried meat from the clay pot next to him, and under Su Wu's distressed eyes, threw them all into the stone pot to cook, and then continued:
"There's nothing going on over there at the mine. A blood sacrifice is enough every seven days. With the three of them watching, there won't be any trouble."
"It's really granulation..." Carnival paused for a while, looked around, and then whispered: "That thing is getting more and more evil. As it continues to be cultivated, more and more evil spirits are derived. .”
"The evil energy in the mine has more than doubled."
"Five monsters have gone crazy these days. Although I secretly dealt with them, this matter still makes other mine monsters panic."
"It's not an option to continue like this."
"Maybe one day I will go crazy! Brother Xi, your mind is spinning very fast, please think of a solution quickly."
Carnival said with a wry smile.
"That's it..."
"You take a sip of the broth first to warm yourself up. Let me think about this for a moment."
After Su Wu poured out a bowl of broth, he thought to himself.
He has already told Huanyan the specific location of the ground meat. Of course, in order to prevent the carnival from having evil thoughts, he also pretended to have left a secret message to the cat demon Hei Xuan.
This kind of thing, with his current strength, is absolutely impossible to possess quietly. Not to mention that he didn't know how to cultivate ground granulation. Even if he knew the method, he didn't have so many resources to devote.
Carnival is just the opposite.
This guy has the resources, the background, and a mining team under his control. He can secretly cultivate ground meat without anyone noticing, so he is definitely the best partner.
Of course, there are still some risks, but they are nothing compared to the foreseeable benefits.
At this moment, he also learned about the method of cultivating ground granulation. The simplest method is still blood sacrifice, watering it with the fresh blood of the demon clan.
"There is nothing we can do about the evil aggravation at the moment."
"Since we have chosen the path of cultivating ground meat, we have to bear the consequences. There is an old saying in humans, you can't have your cake and eat it too."
"It is simply impossible to mine blood iron on a large scale and at the same time stimulate the production of ground granulation!"
"So the only way now is to speed up the cultivation of ground meat and harvest the ground meat as soon as possible before the evil energy accumulates to a certain extent."
Su Wu said in a low voice.
"This..." Hearing this, Carnival's face suddenly became uncertain.
If you want to speed up the cultivation of earth meat, you can only perform blood sacrifices.
This kind of sacrifice is not only a demon blood sacrifice, but also includes a flesh and blood sacrifice and a soul sacrifice.
In other words, all living things must be directly devoured on a large scale, so that the flesh can be brought into maturity as soon as possible.
But if this is the case, then the mining monsters it recruits will definitely die on a large scale. This is not a small problem that is crazy.
"It's not easy to handle!"
"If too many people die at once, it will definitely cause panic. There are already a lot of crazy monsters in our mine, but if dozens more die at once..."
"After a few days of mining, they are all veterans."
Carnival was still hesitant.
Seeing this, Su Wu shrugged and said calmly: "Anyway, the idea has been given to you. As for what to do, that is your business."
"Mr. History of Mine Inspection is coming soon, so I have to be well prepared."
In fact, he has many ideas.
Such as secretly creating a mining disaster.
You can recruit a small group of new ore monsters and let them die. This will not cause the loss of the old mining demon, nor will it easily cause the demon group to panic.
You can even do a temporary rotation.
Killing a group of new mining monsters won't cause any trouble at all.
There are many other methods like this. It’s just too inconvenient to say anything. After all, the mineral point is for carnival, and it's not his. If you talk too much, it will be boring.
Anyway, he can get a share of the credit. It doesn’t have to be too much. Too much will lead to suffering.
He understood this very clearly.
Of course, Su Wu was very sure that Carnival must have thought about this matter. The reason why I came here today was just to get some news from him.
The cat demon Hei Xuan is about to arrive, and this is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
In fact, it’s just some monsters that die, who cares? As long as it doesn't affect the overall situation and has a decent excuse, the upper echelons of Yeyou Palace won't even bother.
They may not care about blood and iron, but special outputs like ground meat are what these high-level officials are concerned about.
So, after a while of silence.
Carnival seemed to have figured something out, and his expression suddenly became much more relaxed.
Then he saw it take out a walnut-sized piece of blood iron ore from its arms, put it in front of Su Wu, and then smiled slightly and said:
"Come today, I actually have a happy event to tell you."
"The supplementary materials from Yeyou Palace have been distributed, and we have also brought you and my appointment orders, as well as the corresponding monthly salary."
"In addition, the mine has also started to produce blood iron. I brought it here specially for you to see. Haha, don't say I didn't take care of you!"
