”Get out of the way!” Get out of the way! ”

After entering the cave and walking for around fifty metres, Yun Yi saw someone pushing a cart full of red stones out.

A Supervisor who was leading them into the cave introduced: ”From today onwards, your work is also like this. You can mine ores in the cave, and after mining, you can send them out. Our mine has a rule, whoever obtains more, the reward will also be higher. If you can gather enough Spirit Stones, not only will you be able to go back freely, you can also directly recruit you as new disciples of Moon Lodge. ”

”A thousand catties?” A laborer's eyes immediately lit up as he asked, ”Then how many pounds did that laborer's cart carry?”

”About a hundred catties!” The Supervisor replied.

”Then according to what you said, wouldn't he be able to easily gather a thousand catties?”

”Heh heh, that's easy for you to think of, but that cart of his was not filled with spirit stones, but Spirit Ore s, which could only be turned into spirit stones after being refined. How many kilograms of Spirit Stones do you think that carriage of Spirit Ore can produce? Let me tell you, that carriage of Spirit Ore can at most produce one kilogram of spirit stones. ” The Supervisor mocked coldly.

Hearing this, all the new workers' passion cooled down as they became silent.

As expected, things were not as simple as they thought. A carriage of Spirit Ore could only produce one Jin of Spirit Stones at most.

Everyone was silent for a while. There were a few optimistic people among them. They suddenly smiled and said, ”It's only a thousand cars. Just get thirty cars a day. It should last for about a month. It's not that hard.”

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

The Supervisor merely smiled mockingly and didn't say anything more. From his sneer, Yun Yi could tell that the Spirit Ore s were not easy to gather.

They continued to walk forward, and after walking for about two thousand meters, they reached a bend, where the Supervisor stopped everyone.

”Stand in line for me, I will give you the tools. From now on, you will work in the mine tunnel, and each time you collect a full cart, you will send it out.” In order to prevent them from being lazy, if they were to harvest less than a cart a day, they would not be allowed to leave the mines, and there would be no food supplies. ”

With that, Supervisor took out sets of tools and distributed them to the new labourers.

These tools were very simple: a duckbill hoe, a pair of deerskin gloves.

After receiving the equipment, Supervisor led everyone to the end of the tunnel.

There were four laborers at work, some already half a cart away, some only a third.

The newly-arrived labourers stared blankly at the four labourers mechanically digging. For a moment, no one was moved at all.

Seeing that everyone was in a daze, the Supervisor suddenly took out a whip from his body and swung it at the ground. With a crackling sound, he shouted, ”What are you all standing there for? Still not working? ”Do you take my words as nothing?”

This body was strong and sturdy, it was one of the few people that Yun Yi could see through.

”He's also a Body Refinement Sixth Layer expert!” Yun Yi squinted his eyes and sized him up.

Under Supervisor's strict orders, the new labourers started to move, and started to dig, just like the old labourers.

As far as the eye could see, the wide wall was filled with black, hard earth.

Yun Yi came to a corner and waved the duckbill hoe in his hand. He consecutively dug several tens of hoes, yet he still could not find the Spirit Ore that had dug out the red color.

”Spirit Ore are indeed hard to dig, if you want to dig a carriage, not only must you have a lot of strength, you must also have enough luck! ”According to the current situation, to be able to dig up a cart a day is already something to be reckoned with.”

Just as Yun Yi thought this, amongst the new workers, one of them was lucky enough to find a piece of Spirit Ore, and started to shout happily.

He immediately threw away the duckbill hoe and picked it up with his hands. However, the moment his hand came into contact with the Spirit Ore, he let out a miserable ”Ah” sound and fiercely retreated. Lowering his head to look at his own hands, he saw that the skin on his palms which came in contact with the Spirit Ore was festering, and was even emitting a burning pain.

”It hurts!” He clenched his teeth and rolled on the ground as he screamed at the top of his lungs.

The Supervisor watched coldly from the side, and snorted coldly: ”Idiot, this is a Flaming Spirit Ore, how can you just pick it up with your hands? The deerskin gloves you have been given to me are for the sake of guarding against fire poison s.

With that, he whipped the injured labourer and shouted, ”Don't be lazy. Get up quickly and dig a carriage of Spirit Ore. Don't even think of coming out of the cave today, let alone eating anything.”

The injured laborer's hands were corroded by the fire poison and his flesh was lacerated. He was already in so much pain that he wished he were dead.
