The Way of the Mysterious Dust

Chapter 610: Banshee Phantom

"Clang, clang, clang!" Next to the huge blast furnace, several naked men were hammering a large piece of ore, hammering the whole piece of ore into pieces.

Then use a big shovel to pour the crushed ore into the hot smelting furnace. With the pouring of the crushed ore, a thick smoke instantly rises, and the magma-like ore liquid in the furnace also violently rolls, and gurgling. Bubbles.

These furnace workers are smelting coarse ore, calcination of various raw ore with extremely heavy impurities, and extracting semi-finished mineral materials through fire.

Later, these semi-finished mineral materials will be transported to the heavy forging workshop, where they will be melted into liquid by the ground fire array, and then refined into qualified finished mineral materials through the forging equipment of the agency.

This place is the residence of the Withered Bone Gang. It was originally a large-scale abandoned mine. The terrain looked like a valley surrounded on three sides with a gap on one side. Now a high wall built with large rocks blocks the gaped side to form it. A large mine was built.

There is also a lava river in the valley gushing from the ground. The formation is a natural earth fire, which is used to smelt ores. It is no wonder that the Dead Bone Gang will set up its resident in this old mine pit, although it is like this The magma river is not uncommon in the Yanku layer.

Two days ago, Liu Yu came to this mine with the camel team that transported the ore. There are rows of tall furnaces in the mine, and large and small forging workshops. A large number of furnace workers come in and out to work day and night, just like one. Huge smelter.

After two days, Liu Yu found that this mine was not simple. The first was the scale. There were more than 20 forging factories in the mine, hundreds of furnace workers, and smoke billowing from the chimneys of the factory every day. Liu Yu had supervised the work in the shipyard for many years. , I am already familiar with mineral smelting process and technology.

Calculated based on the daily output of these twenty-odd forging plants, the amount of ore mined by the dead bones alone is far from enough to support such a large smelting plant to start daily operations. Obviously, there are other mineral sources in the mine.

Liu Yu asked a furnace worker privately and found out that the Withered Bone Gang not only mines on its own, but also purchases ore from other mining gangs and mining teams in the vicinity of Niuguo Town at a high price. There will be camel teams every day, full of all kinds of things. The ore returns from the outside.

Secondly, the guards of this mine are too strict. People outside the high walls of the mine are approaching by mistake. There is also a forbidden area in the mine. Foreign supervisors like Liu Yu and ordinary furnace workers are both prohibited from entering. The workshop inside contains precious and rare spiritual materials.

Over the past two months, Liu Yu, through what he saw and heard on weekdays, has roughly figured out the situation of the Withered Bones. The Withered Bones is actually the next industry in the Yousha Arena.

Most of the miners are debt gamblers, not just the gamblers under the "You Shark Arena", but also other debt gamblers in the arena. These gamblers were all changed hands and sold to the "You Shark Arena". .

This is also what Liu Yu didn't understand. Why did the "You Shark Arena" take so much effort and consume a lot of manpower and material resources to mine deep underground.

Although mining can make a lot of spiritual stones, with this human and material resources, choosing any industry in the bustling Beluga Harbor is also more profitable than mining in this remote place where birds do not shit.

There is also a smelting plant of this size, which is afraid that there is an ulterior motive.

...

On the third day, the camel team left the mine and returned to the mining camp on the ghost cave level. Dozens of moose lined up in a mighty line, each with four empty boxes of "spiritual mustard" hung on the back of each moose.

The **** of the mine supervisor changed some new faces. From these people talking and laughing, Liu Yu learned that it was a normal rotation within the Withered Bones Gang, and among them was the "grey fox" who hadn't shown up in the past two months. .

"Gray Fox, you're on your turn too!" As the camel team was marching, a man with a yellow face and dark circles under his eyes trot to the side of the gray fox and said with a smile.

"That's not it! In the next few months, I won't have a good life." The gray fox couldn't help but shook his head and smiled. After three months of comfortable days, he was arranged to go out again, and the bitter days were coming again.

It is best to stay in the mine. Not only is the life easy and comfortable, but when you are free, you can also go to Niuguo Town to have a few drinks, and talk to the maid in the tavern by the way.

The expatriates of the mine team are hard pressed. Let’s not talk about being tired like a dog all day, let’s talk about if you run into something terrible ghost, let alone the short-lived miners, even the overseers who are acting as guards are themselves There is a risk of life, and the ghost cave layer is not a place for people to stay.

"Yeah! It will be difficult next!" The man also sighed and murmured in sympathy.

...

The original three-day journey, because the camel team was traveling without load, and I don’t know what happened, the leader ordered the camel team to drive at full speed with few stops. In only two days, the camel team rushed to the mining camp on the ghost cave layer. After arriving at the camp, I learned the reason for the rush.

Just three days ago, the Lion's belly mining team that went out to mine in the camp was attacked by a number of "dark banshees". Two mine supervisors died on the spot, more than a dozen miners were killed, and many strong miners were taken into captivity. So these two days, the camp was forced to suspend all mining operations.

As a result, the pack team transported ore to the mine, took away some of the supervisors, and weakened the guards of the camp.

Secondly, the "dark banshee" is the same kind of ghost as humans, cunning and insidious, extremely difficult to deal with, and there have been many "dark banshees". In order to avoid unnecessary deaths and injuries, the deputy leader Mangshark had to order , No one is allowed to take a step out of the camp.

At the time of Mao, the camp’s dining hall was full of miners who were eating. With more than 20 supervisors who escorted the pack, they hurried back to the camp. The deputy leader, Mang Shark, decided to resume mining. Go out mining separately.

"Have you heard? The "Dark Charm" did it!" a miner whispered.

"I heard it a long time ago. Few people from the Lion belly team survived!" Another miner immediately replied.

"This is too miserable! I don't know if these evil stars are gone, but don't find our team!" After hearing this, a thin young miner said with a blue face.

"Don't worry! You are too thin, those "dark banshees" don't look at them at all. I heard that they like men like hunks!" A bulging burly man stood up and gestured to his sturdy and sturdy man. Arm, said with a smile.

"Hey! I heard that those "dark banshees" have big breasts, fat buttocks, gorgeous appearances, and they are all peerless beauties, and they will be refreshed before they die!" Another miner smiled wryly.

"Ha, ha, well said, dying on the belly of these banshees is not a loss!"

There were bursts of laughter in the canteen’s shed. The original suppressed atmosphere dissipated in an instant, and then there were more silly jokes, and senior miners like "Old Black Bull" couldn't help shaking their heads, lamenting that these young people are really reckless. .

Only when they see the tragic deaths of those abducted by the dark banshees, these young people will truly understand the terrible reputation of these stunning banshees.

"Old Hei Niu" has stayed in the Dead Bone Gang for nearly 30 years. In fact, he has already paid off his gambling debts, but for the sake of his younger generations, staying here to earn more spiritual stones. Although underground mining is dangerous, the income is really low. Low.

In the past 30 years, he has seen many "dark banshee" attacks on the mine team, especially in the past ten years, every three or four years.

Every time the "dark banshee" will take away some strong miners for lustful pleasure, and will leave when they are satisfied. When these miners are found, they will become skeletons covered with dry skin.

...

"Lao Hei Niu, the remaining people of the Lion belly mine team will be assigned to our team, and you will arrange it." When the Lao Niu broke the team and set off, the team leader "Ghost Tooth" led a dozen miners with apathetic expressions. , Brought it to the side of the mine "Old Black Bull" and said.

"My lord, don't worry! Six sons will give these brothers the job!" Lao Hei Niu nodded hurriedly. The dozens of people remaining in the Lion's Belly Mine team knew the Lao Niu Mine team, and arrangements were made soon.

"Daoist Xuankong, let me introduce to you. This is Grey Fox, who is new to our team." The rest of the Lion's belly mine team has all been merged into the Lao Niu Mine team, so the deputy gang leader gave the Lao Niu Mine team a new one. A mine supervisor was added, and this person was the "grey fox."

"Poor Dao Xuan Kong, I have met fellow Daoists!" Liu Yu nodded in greeting with a calm expression on his face.

"Master Dao is polite, just call me "Gray Fox"! By the way, look at Dao Long, have we met somewhere!" Gray Fox smiled and said hello, and looked closely at the Zhongzhou Daoist. It seems to have seen it again, but most of these Zhongzhou people look the same, and can't remember it for a while.

"Oh! Really! The poor road has only traveled to Beihai in recent years. If you want to come to the Taoist friend, you should recognize the cha person, or the Taoist friend knows that person is somewhat similar to the poor Dao leader." Liu Yu said calmly. .

This "grey fox" has only had a two-sided relationship with himself. Once he made a fake ticket to defraud himself, and the other time he just passed by in the arena. If it weren't for the death of his brother, this "grey fox" would stand in front of him, Liu Yu He will definitely not recognize this person.

He doesn’t believe in a liar like "Gray Fox" who can recognize him at a glance. People like "Gray Fox" were in Beluga Harbor back then and didn't know how many strangers he had contact with every day. After so many years, how could he I remember a stranger who passed by in a hurry more than ten years ago.

"Gray Fox, you must have admitted wrong! There are "Dark Charms" near the camp, and you all know that you will save more snacks in a while!" Guiya waved his hand and greeted everyone in the mine team to set off. These "Dark Charms" "The Banshee" appeared again, which was really troublesome.

"Forget it!" Grey Fox thought about it carefully, but didn't know where to see this man, so he didn't think about it any more~lightnovelpub.net~ He was in Beluga Harbor, and he had seen too many Zhongzhou Taoists. If you want to come, you should have missed your eyes. In his opinion, these people from Zhongzhou have black eyes and white faces mostly like birds.

...

In a dim cave near the dead bones camp, on a large stone slab covered with a thick and soft leather blanket, lay three charming women in thin clothes. The three women have long black hair like a waterfall and thin hips and waists. Embracing each other, the white and long legs are entwined 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. This woman has two peaks, but her complexion is golden and white. There is a fake gold mask on the left side, only the right side. It's a plump and soft snow peak, but it's not the "dark banshee" Mi Ji who was cut off by Liu Yu back then.

"Sister, what's the matter!" The petite woman on the left opened her dim eyes, stretched her waist, and asked softly.

"The stinky person who hurt me back then is nearby!" Mi Ji gritted her teeth with anger in her eyes.

"What! What are you waiting for, let's kill it now." The petite female sisters were affectionate and immediately sat up and said.

"This man and the mine gang should be together. Let's go and see before talking!" The woman lying on the right side is more beautiful than Mi Ji and the petite woman. She is also the highest of the three women, and she feels too. The breath of "Charming Flower Demon Seal" in the distance.

"Then what about these wastes!" said the petite woman, pointing to some dark shadows lying on their backs under the big stone slab. Upon closer inspection, the dark shadows lying on the ground were actually weak naked men.

These men were all skinny and became skeletons, unable to lie on the ground, leaving only a layer of crumpled dry skin stuck to the bones, looking like humans 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 traces of blood flowed from the wound of the corpse.
