344: I was a slave in the mines

“Chat Group is upgrading…”

“Upgrade successful.”

On the 99th floor of the Tower of the Heavens, Chu Mo felt a sense of relief upon hearing the voice in his mind.

The Chat Group’s upgrade began when Shen Qingqiu killed the True Immortal from Haori Immortal Land and threw both halves of its corpse beside him.

Chu Mo tried the Crossing Talisman.

Emm… it was still useless.

However, communication had resumed.

He could also send Red Packets.

This also led to a certain change in Chu Mo’s plan.

“Chu Mo: Is anyone in the Tianxuan Domain?”

“Lü Yang: I am.”

“Duke Zhenguo Dongfang Guyue: I am too.”

“Bai Lu: I am!”

“Li Tian Ce: Brother Chu, is it time for another group activity?”

The four of them were in the Tianxuan Domain.

This was good news.

Fortunately, they had explored Bai Lu’s world and entered the Tianxuan Domain through the Gui Xu, otherwise, there would have been no way.

Chu Mo needed these four to complete the next plan.

“The Luotian Domain has an Upper Realm. Perhaps the Tianxuan Domain, like the Luotian Domain, has the same Upper Realm. No matter what, I have to try!”

Chu Mo had an Immortal corpse here.

But what decisive role could one Immortal corpse play?

It couldn't even defeat Shen Qingqiu when it was alive. What could it do after being refined into a Puppet after death?

The two old geezers, Xuan Ling and Wan Hai, were overwhelmingly strong.

They represented two different outcomes.

No matter which side won, he would be swept along by the tide.

But what if he attracted a third party?

And Chu Mo had already chosen this third party.

The Haori Immortal Land!

Why choose the Haori Immortal Land?

Because Chu Mo had no other choice!

“Previously in the Luotian Domain, when the projection of the Haori Immortal Land’s Dao Child tried to paralyze me with words, he recognized the technique on my body. This means he is very likely from the same great world as me. Drawing the Haori Immortal Land into the game is not impossible. The only thing to consider is whether the Haori Immortal Land has the ability to contend against Xuan Ling and Wan Hai.”

Xuan Ling and Wan Hai were both Immortal Emperor weapons.

Even if their strength was not what it once was, they were not comparable to ordinary insignificant forces.

Now, Chu Mo’s only worry was that the Haori Immortal Land was not strong enough.

And then, he was also afraid that the Haori Immortal Land was too strong.

Both of these situations were unfavorable for Chu Mo.

The best scenario was if they were evenly matched.

If they truly started fighting, they wouldn't be able to pay attention to so many other things.

The opportunity to escape would then arise.

Of course, the risk factor here was also very high.

One careless mistake and he could easily become cannon fodder in an Immortal Emperor battle.

But despite the danger, Chu Mo was still willing to try.

He didn't want to walk a path laid out by others, especially when he was merely cannon fodder A, B, C, or D on that path.

“Whether it’s Xuan Ling or Wan Hai, I’m an insignificant small fry in their eyes. Especially with Xuan Ling, I estimate I’m worse than a roadside spare tire compared to Wan Hai’s… ”

“Sigh~”

“A person must rely on himself!”

“Chu Mo: @Lü Yang, @Duke Zhenguo Dongfang Guyue, @Li Tian Ce, @Bai Lu, once the four of you claim my Red Packet, you can run away!”

“Qi Xuan: ??? ”

“Li Tian Ce: What business is it of yours? Why are you popping up?”

“Qi Xuan: I’m asking for you guys!”

“Bai Lu: No need, thank you!”

Chu Mo looked at their messages, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation.

This Qi Xuan guy was always at the forefront of gossip.

“Chu Mo: This operation is of great importance! It involves the Immortal Emperor and Devil Emperor’s Immortal Emperor weapons, as well as Upper Realm forces!”

“Qi Xuan: Oh! Goodbye!”

Qi Xuan was the first to slip away.

Who could bear such immense Karma?

What if he just ate some gossip, and the Immortal Emperor, Devil Emperor, or even the Upper Realm sent an external enemy after him? Wouldn't he be doomed!

“Li Tian Ce: @Qi Xuan, I’ll go hide at your place later!”

“Qi Xuan: ??? You’re coming to hide here? I’m preparing to hide at Ning Ge’s place!”

“Ning Haocheng: ??? Is it my turn?”

“Chen Lu: Well, uh! I’m also preparing to hide at Ning Ge’s place!”

“Ning Haocheng: ??? Are you guys coming as a group? No, Xiao Lu! Is your world not safe?”

“Chen Lu: Emm… how should I put it! A few days ago, a wolf demon and a female Immortal fought their way into my remote little corner. After the female Immortal killed the wolf demon, she then took all of us away. Now, I’m working as a slave, mining with a group of laborers in the Misty Immortal Domain!”

Chen Lu, who was currently using a mining robot and a mecha to mine Immortal Essence, was deep in self-doubt.

It took him seven days and seven nights to mine just one piece of Immortal Essence here, and a pile of machinery was scrapped.

Alright!

Now that he had experienced slave life, it was time to run away!

Nearby, a ‘Soul Transformation slave’ saw Chen Lu stop his digging and quietly reminded him, “Do you want to die? If the overseer sees you slacking off later, you’ll be finished.”

“The machine is broken, I’m fixing it! Otherwise, it will affect the mining progress!” Chen Lu said nonchalantly.

“You tool repairmen are so flashy. Wouldn’t it be better to use the hoes provided by the mining area? If they break, you won’t feel bad, since they aren’t yours. If you continue like this, you’ll easily be targeted by the overseers here, and they’ll confiscate your storage ring…”

The ‘Soul Transformation slave’ stopped mid-sentence, his hoe swinging into a blur. Although he didn't dig out a piece of Immortal Essence, it made him appear exceptionally diligent, not slacking off.

Seeing this, Chen Lu also started moving.

The overseers here were all at the Undergoing Tribulation cultivation level, and the stewards were Immortals.

Anyway, he had no hope.

He would just dig more Immortal Essence and Immortal Ore, and perhaps pick up some scraps, maybe even find a powerful corpse sealed within an Ore.

Then he could run away.

“Chen Lu: [Image]”

“Chen Lu: The dog overseer is here to inspect work, brothers, no more chatting, time to work!”

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

This guy was quite self-aware as a slave.

“Qi Xuan: Xiao Lu isn’t digging and hiding at the same time, is he? I see from the messages above that he’s already sent himself several Red Packets!”

“Chu Mo: Everyone has their own ideas. Let’s not worry about him for now. Anyway, he’s not like me; with a Crossing Talisman, he can run whenever he wants!”

Everyone felt that made a lot of sense.

But Chu Mo’s plan… [System notification: Administrator Chu Mo has sent a exclusive Red Packet to group member Duke Zhenguo Dongfang Guyue.]

“Duke Zhenguo Dongfang Guyue: What’s in here?”

“Chu Mo: An Immortal corpse! However, I advise you to start a countdown before claiming it. After claiming it, don't touch it. Emm… claim it in a crowded place to avoid leaving any of your own aura behind!”

Duke Zhenguo Dongfang Guyue: “…”

What a sin!
