Everyone is fighting for survival, are you shopping for free in the supermarket?

Out of the territory, Orui has no confidence that he can survive with his tribe, so surrender becomes the only option.

Ye Qiu nodded and threw a scroll: "This is my request. See if you can accept it."

Ori picked up the scroll and looked at it carefully.

The general meaning of the contract is that Ye Qiu will provide them with food, and they will dig ore for Ye Qiu. They must not do anything that endangers Ye Qiu's safety, or expose any territory-related matters.

Orui signed his name without hesitation and returned the contract: "Thank you Lord for your trust, we will be your most durable mining pickaxe!"

Seeing Auri who showed no resistance at all, Ye Qiu was a little confused for a moment.

The rules in the contract can be said to be very harsh. I didn't expect Orui to sign it without hesitation.

But after a moment, Ye Qiu reacted.

No matter how harsh the rules in the contract were, the lawyer drafted them based on education in the real world and treated these miners as human beings.

And based on the original background of the survival world, I am afraid that in the eyes of the lord, these people are basically equivalent to slaves, right?

Especially in this mist-shrouded world, they can't even survive outside the confines of their territory. No matter how squeezed they are, they can't resist!

Ye Qiu put away the contract and said, "I plan to go to the mines to have a look again. You can lead the way."

He must get the purple-quality ore, especially since Huang Hui, who was killed yesterday, said that he knew how to produce the Lamenting Ore, which made Ye Qiu feel a little unhappy.

Therefore, he planned to go into the mine again to see what the so-called Lamenting Ore was.

Auri stood up: "Yes, Lord Lord, please come with me!"

After the resource area was moved to the vicinity of the camp, the Lamenting Mine mound was basically right on the face, but the mine you entered was still far away.

Ye Qiu was extremely satisfied, as he no longer had to worry about the noise from mining affecting his life.

After rushing for more than ten minutes, Ye Qiu, led by Orui and others, arrived at the entrance of the cave that produced the most ore.

Orui introduced: "The highest quality blue ore is produced here. As for the purple quality Lamenting ore, it has never been produced since the territory was split."

Ye Qiu frowned slightly: "Do you know the specific source of the Lamenting Ore?"

Auri shook his head: "I don't know very well. I only know that before the territory was divided, the lord would send some war knights to deliver something every once in a while and bury it deep in the mine."

"I guess those things are necessary materials for the production of the Lamenting Ore, but I am not qualified to know about such things that involve the core of the mine."

Ye Qiu nodded and followed the group into the mine again.

Not long after entering, the familiar sound of crying sounded in my ears.

Ye Qiu didn't understand where these sounds came from.

If it comes from the idol or the Mourning Creeper, then the sound should disappear after the idol is taken away.

But the fact is that the Mourning Mine is still the same.

This made Ye Qiu couldn't help but think of another possibility, that is, there was a treasure inside that he hadn't gotten yet!

Auri said: "Lord, most people are not qualified to come into contact with the origin of the Purple Lamenting Ore. Please allow me to lead the way for you."

Ye Qiu nodded calmly.

The rest of the guards remained, serving as both guards and miners.

Ye Qiu, on the other hand, continued deeper under the leadership of Orui and came to an empty cave.

The dim yellow oil lamp illuminated the cave, which looked just like any other place, but the sound of wailing in my ears was really disturbing.

Auri said: "This is the place of origin, but since the territory was split, not a single ore has appeared."

Ye Qiu turned on the strong flashlight, and the strong light immediately illuminated the entire cave.

Ori was startled by the sudden bright light.

What kind of magic is this?

Without explaining the power of science to Auri, Ye Qiu's enhanced vision had already allowed him to discover some strange things.

Walking to a corner not far away, Ye Qiu took out a pickaxe and pried open the surrounding stones. A piece of special gray ore that was mostly obscured by rocks fell into Ye Qiu's hands.

Auri looked surprised: "Lord, this is the Mourning Ore!"

Ye Qiu nodded and used Appraisal on it.

——

[Mourning Stone (Purple)]

[Description: A stone haunted by pain and sorrow. It can be used for enchanting, construction, and other aspects. Every piece of ore carries real blood and tears. 】

[Characteristics: Mourning (special effects will be added to the product, causing special damage to the spirit)]

——

Can it be used for enchanting?

Ye Qiu was stunned. Maybe he could use this ore to make a gun of sorrow. Whoever it hits would cry?

Or enchant the smoke and turn it into a smoke tear gas canister.

Well, it looks like it’s just for fun and has no practical use.

Putting the ore into his backpack, Ye Qiu stretched out his hand to touch the stone wall.

I am very interested in the source of the Mourning Stone, so let’s take a look at what causes the ore to be produced!

Within a kilometer radius of the station, Ye Qiu can use the all-seeing mirror to change the terrain, and now is the time to use it!

Although the mine mound covers a huge area, there is no doubt that its core area is still within a kilometer of Ye Qiu's station!

Rumble…

The fog core in the backpack disappeared like running water. Under Orui's shocked eyes, a corridor that could accommodate one person slowly appeared in front of Ye Qiu.

And on the wall behind the corridor, a crystal jade stone the size of an arm, emitting a faint gray light, appeared in front of Ye Qiu!

This is the source of the mourning ore.

After walking through the corridor of more than ten meters, Ye Qiu used identification on the ore.

——

[Mourning Vein (Purple)]

[Description: Infected by the power of the gods, a special vein mutated from ordinary veins can produce ore with special power]

[Features: Suffering Breeding (When suffering occurs within the territory, the surrounding ore will be affected as mourning stones)]

——

Seeing this, Ye Qiu suddenly realized.

No wonder Huang Hui deliberately killed those old miners, it turned out that this was a necessary condition for the production of ore!

But Huang Hui's method was still too extreme. Maybe he felt that oppressing the people to produce too slowly and wanted to make a quick buck.

After all, the earlier the high-quality resources appear, the higher the price. When the exploration area is expanded, there will always be some lucky ones among the billions of survivors.

But even knowing this would not help Ye Qiu.

Even if he was really cruel enough to oppress all the villagers in the ore village, the ore produced would be just a drop in the bucket for him.

If he really sacrificed them, he might be able to make some quick money, but the ore Ye Qiu needed was in the three digits, and these forty-odd people could not possibly provide that much ore.
