Chapter 298 The Junior Sister Came Down the Mountain Again
"Master, how long will it take for you to recover? You've already been here for three days!"
Lin Wanwan wanted to go down and help, but her master and several senior brothers disagreed.
"Why would a girl go in the water? If you catch a cold, you'll never have a good life."
"We men are the only ones left to do the mining. You just stay up there. If you get bored, go look for wild fruits in the nearby woods."
Lin Wanwan was speechless when she heard the tone of voice used to dismiss a child.
But she didn't dare to disobey her master and senior brothers, so she had to stay there obediently.
But after three days of hard work, the old man and three young men still couldn't dig out 1/100 of the ice mine.
If they continue to delay like this, will they still have to celebrate the New Year in the small secret realm?
"Master, I was bored recently and made some gadgets that should be able to help you mine."
"If you don't want me to go down, forget it. At least let it go down and help you!"
Lin Wanwan was so bored that she had completely cleared out all the edible trees in the surrounding forest.
Even inedible flowers and plants were not spared from her clutches.
Now that I've tried everything there is to play with, it's no use sitting around all day.
Lin Wanwan took out a mini mining robot from the space.
This mining robot is a simple first-generation version with only one steel claw.
The whole thing looks like the arm of some kind of beast.
There are four bone claws at the front of the steel claw, and the palm can reach into the hard mountain to grab and pull out the ore hidden inside.
This small robot has no storage function. It can only dig out ore from the mountain. The rest has to be picked up by Jiu Zhongxian, Xuanyi and others.
"What the hell is this? I can move freely without installing any spirit stones. It's amazing!"
"Okay, I'll take it down and see if this little thing can actually work!"
When he saw the mechanical hand, Jiuzhongxian was stunned for a moment.
My first reaction was, what the hell is this?
The second reaction was that it was probably a failure if the spirit stone was not installed.
The third reaction was that no matter whether it worked or not, he had to take it down and try it out. This was the little apprentice’s first time to invent something.
As a result, when he brought the robotic arm into the ice mine, the robotic arm automatically detached from it.
Like an arrow, it penetrated into the mountain with a "whoosh" sound, and then from the hole where the robotic arm had drilled in, it continuously spit out ice ore.
"Fuck~"
"Ah, cough cough cough..."
"Don't look at me, I didn't say anything just now!"
Xuan San closed his mouth and looked around, as if it had nothing to do with him.
There was no trace of the embarrassment he felt just now as he was shocked and tried to speak underwater, only to choke.
"What are you standing there for? Pick it up!"
The Drunken Immortal looked at his cute and stupid disciple and slapped him on the head.
Then he signaled to the other two apprentices with his eyes, and the four of them worked together to pick up the ice ore thrown out by the mechanical arm.
"Master, my storage bag is full. Do you have any space?"
Xuan Yi, who had nothing more to pretend, swam out of the water and waited until the Drunken Immortal came out to breathe before asking.
"I can hold a little more, but I don't think I'll be able to fill it all."
"Let's not worry about that for now. We can just take as much as we can. At worst, we can come back next time to collect it."
Just as the master and disciple were talking, Xuan Er also emerged from the bottom of the water.
"Master, Junior Sister has a storage bag. I'll go borrow it from her!"
Everyone then remembered that when Xuan Er and Lin Wanwan were exploring the wall behind the waterfall, they found a storage bag.
At that time, in order to make up for the junior sister, the second junior brother directly gave the storage bag to Lin Wanwan.
It’s just the right time to use it.
"Master, the storage bag is back, let's go pick it up!"
Xuan Er held up the storage bag in his hand, and the spirit stones inside had been transferred away by Lin Wanwan.
The empty storage bag is now just right for storing ice ore.
With the help of the robotic arm, they quickly put the ice ore into the storage bag.
The mineral veins under the waterfall have also been mined and are now full of pits.
Now there are only some ice ores of very poor quality left, which have little commercial value even if mined.
The Drunken Immortal then came out of the water with his disciples, intending to rest for a while before leaving the secret realm.
He didn't know if there were any other treasures elsewhere, but he had to find a way to get rid of the treasures he got this time.
The strength of the disciples also needs to be strengthened, and they need to buy some magic weapons to keep them safe.
We didn’t have the conditions before, but now that we have dug an entire ice mine, it’s time to arm our own people.
"Master, let's not leave in a hurry. My little excavator seems to have found something interesting."
"Second Brother, go and see if you can catch any prey nearby. Let's prepare some food and I'll take everyone to have a look."
The four masters and apprentices of Drunken Immortal came out, but the mechanical arm did not come out yet.
Lin Wanwan took a look at the monitor and found that the position of the robotic arm was very special at this time.
Although there are no mineral veins there, the passages inside are interconnected.
Some of them look like plant roots, buried in the cracks between stones and soil.
Based on Lin Wanwan's knowledge, those roots should not be possessed by ordinary plants.
After hearing what his junior sister said, Xuan Er didn't ask any more questions and just took the Feihong Sword and left.
The eldest senior brother helped to dry the clothes, while Lin Wanwan sat next to him. After all, there are differences between men and women, so she still had to stay away when changing clothes.
She was bored these two days, so she dug two caves beside the waterfall.
Although the cave is not big, it is enough for two or three people to stay overnight.
Xuan Er was moving very fast. Although he walked a little far, he was able to return after an hour with the Feihong Sword.
Because Lin Wanwan's storage bag was still on Xuan Er, he also put the prey into the storage bag.
After returning, they took out all the prey. The three brothers were busy dividing the prey into pieces of meat and storing them.
Food stored in storage bags will not spoil in a short period of time.
It also has the function of locking in freshness. Even if the meat is placed in a storage bag, it will at most dry into bacon and will generally not rot.
The storage bag is a magical thing. Lin Wanwan plans to get more and store them when she has the chance.
After making sufficient preparations, the four masters and apprentices followed Lin Wanwan into the water again.
Look, the clothes that had just been dried got wet again, but no one complained.
When they went underwater, they found a fresh channel in the mineral vein.
This is obviously the result of a robotic arm.
Lin Wanwan took the lead, with several fellow disciples in the middle, and finally the Drunken Immortal.
Several people came to the place where the roots of the plants were. The Drunken Immortal carefully examined them and found that they should be spiritual roots.
"I suspect there's a spiritual fruit orchard up there. Little disciple, have that little creature dig a passage up there. Try to be as secretive as possible so no one can find you."
