The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

Originally, Ye Xiao came here for a specific purpose.

They wanted to use the teleportation array here to return to the human world.

But now he has stumbled upon this scene by sheer accident.

Ye Xiao didn't want to miss out so easily.

"However, how can we find an opportunity and a reason to go mining?"

Just then.

Ye Xiao saw that this was after the previous group of people in black uniforms came out of the mine.

The living quarters at the mining base.

A shout came from behind.

"Miners resting in Zone 7, assemble immediately and prepare to go down into the mine!"

Ye Xiao noticed that the mining base was divided into different living areas.

Therefore, the miners also worked in shifts.

Now, it's the turn of the miners in Zone 7 to enter the mine.

"This seems like an opportunity!"

Ye Xiao thought to himself.

Then, he casually picked up some mineral powder from the ground, rubbed it on his face, and then rubbed it on other parts of his body as well.

After Ye Xiao smeared his own reputation, he became closer to these miners and was less likely to arouse suspicion.

What Ye Xiao needs to do is also very simple.

He planned to blend in with the miners who were gathering in District 7.

Then I went down into the mine with this group of miners.

"Assemble immediately! Assemble right now! Everyone must be in front of us within ten minutes!"

The foreman was yelling at the top of his lungs.

Various pressures were urging the workers on.

Finally, the workers, who had just woken up, slowly and in a scattered manner walked to the assembly area.

As Ye Xiao approached, he quickly blended into the crowd, also pretending to be very tired.

It was precisely because these workers had just woken up.

No one had the time or energy to care about others, and no one noticed Ye Xiao's unfamiliar face.

This batch of people going down into the mine exceeded one hundred.

In the past, the foreman would definitely have taken attendance.

However, he doesn't have time to take attendance right now.

Just now, the leaders of Taichu Pharmaceutical came down to inspect the work, which put a lot of pressure on the foreman.

The higher authorities are not satisfied with the current mining progress and must accelerate efficiency.

Therefore, time is tight and the task is heavy.

The foreman timed it and waited for about ten minutes.

The number of people on the field was about enough.

Then he shouted one last time towards District Seven.

"Everyone, follow me!"

"Don't think I haven't called roll yet. I don't have time now, I'll call roll again down in the mine. Anyone who's not here will have their entire month's performance bonus deducted!"

After saying that, the team followed the foreman toward the mine.

Ye Xiao mingled among the workers and could hear their voices.

"What's wrong? Why are you so noisy and in such a hurry today?"

"I arrived at work half an hour earlier than usual!"

"I don't know. I heard that today is the day Taichu Pharmaceutical sent leaders to inspect the area."

"I guess the foreman got yelled at by his superiors, and now he's taking it out on us!"

"Stop talking, or the foreman will hear you and throw a tantrum."

"......"

Ye Xiao listened quietly to their conversation.

We also gained some information from it.

Before going down into the mine.

Everyone must change into special mining clothes and carry the corresponding mining equipment.

Because these things are all universal.

People just pick them up casually and wear them directly.

In this harsh world of Crimson Abyss, there are no strict mining regulations.

This also gave Ye Xiao a convenient opportunity.

He pretended to be an expert while secretly observing others, learning how to dress and what to carry.

After he had put on his clothes, pants, shoes, helmet, and mask...

Then, following the other workers, they went to collect a series of mining tools, such as pickaxes and miniature lamps.

In addition, there are some devices that can help save lives and ensure safety.

After everything is settled.

Ye Xiao was in the middle of this mining team.

They slowly walked into the dark mine shaft.

At the very beginning.

The mine shaft is quite spacious and can accommodate many people entering side by side at the same time.

But as we delve deeper...

The tunnel was getting narrower and narrower until it was so narrow that only one person could pass through sideways.

On both sides are black rock walls with a layer of slippery dark red substance on the surface.

It looks like blood, and also like some kind of secretion.

There was a strange smell in the air.

Even though the mask filtered the air, Ye Xiao could still smell it.

It's another kind of pungent, even more unsettling smell.

It didn't smell of sulfur; it smelled like rot, like chemicals, like something that shouldn't exist in this world.

Ye Xiao turned on the miniature spirit lamp, illuminating the path ahead.

As the group ventured deeper into the area, Ye Xiao could clearly feel the temperature rising.

It was like a smoldering fire, as if something deep underground was breathing.

We walked with this group for about ten minutes.

Finally, light appeared ahead.

But the light was not white; it was a dark red, pulsating light, like a heartbeat.

Ye Xiao's pupils contracted slightly when he saw this scene for the first time.

But other miners were clearly used to this scene.

Everyone skillfully turned off the spirit lamps and slowly moved forward along the passage.

Ye Xiao also turned off his spirit lamp.

Finally, Ye Xiao arrived at the end of the mine!

After they passed through a long and narrow mine tunnel.

The field of vision is gradually opening up.

Everything that came into view.

This completely shocked Ye Xiao!

At the end of the mine is a huge underground cavern!

Ye Xiao was located on the edge of the wall of this underground cave.

Looking down, the cave is a hundred meters deep, resembling an inverted bowl.

At the bottom of the cave, there is a huge complex of buildings!

It was neither a rugged military camp like Chiyabao, nor a heavy industrial mining base like a mine.

Instead, they are sophisticated, technologically advanced industrial facilities!

There are pipes, reaction vessels, and even array bases!

The pipes, silvery-white in color, extend from the rock wall and converge into a huge spherical container in the center.

The surface of the container was covered with densely packed runes.

The runes were glowing, a dark red light, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, like breathing.

Below the container, there is a thick pipe leading straight to the ground.

The direction leading to the mine base.

"Deep underground in this mine, there's actually such a high-tech industrial facility and mining base?"

"These people are actually able to carve out such a large space underground."

"This is just how difficult it is!"

Ye Xiao immediately understood.

Why is the entrance passage so small?

Logically speaking...

This group of people has the ability to develop such a huge underground mining base here.

Then they must have the ability to make the access passages spacious and well-maintained.

They can even use transport vehicles, elevators, and other methods.

But they didn't do that.

This indicates that they are using a most primitive method that offers the highest level of security and confidentiality.

They intentionally isolated everything that was happening inside.

I don't want anyone to know the secret here!
