One by one, they drifted over, gathered together, and began to work. They cooperated seamlessly; so were responsible for drilling holes, while others moved the soil.
Long Ke watched this scene and couldn’t help but exclaim.
"Impressive, professional miners! Looking at their manner, once they’re fed and watered, they can activate the equipnt and get to work. Their operating cost isn’t just cheap; this Eternal Sleep Clan really knows how to save money."
"Hmm."
Su Mo nodded slightly.
Long Ke, grinning, said to Su Mo, "Boss, these little guys are quite efficient at work. It would be great to keep them."
"Shut up. How are we different from bandits then? Let them go afterwards."
Su Mo replied irritably.
"You’re right."
Long Ke quickly agreed.
Just then, streaks of light quickly flew across the sky.
Su Mo turned his head and saw Luo Qi and An Yin landing their cha beside him.
Luo Qi saw Su Mo directing Spirit Touchers to mine, and his brow furrowed.
"Commander Su Mo, you’re here."
An Yin respectfully greeted.
"Hmm, is there sothing the matter?"
Su Mo asked directly.
"It’s like this, Lord Su Mo. Our rest period is almost over. Isn’t it ti to advance? Our mission has a ti limit."
An Yin addressed Su Mo with utmost respect.
Hearing An Yin’s words, Su Mo felt a bit stressed; these folks recovered so quickly.
He organized his thoughts and then told An Yin and Luo Qi.
"Let’s depart later. I have so important matters to handle here. Once done, we’ll leave imdiately."
Hearing Su Mo’s words, An Yin displayed a peculiar expression. Important matters? Mining?
She was montarily at a loss as to how to respond.
Beside her, veins bulged on Luo Qi’s forehead — what was Su Mo thinking at such a ti?
If Luo Qi’s subordinate said such a thing to him, he’d definitely twist their head off.
But Su Mo was his superior, had the highest command authority, and was stronger than him. Luo Qi was genuinely at a loss.
Despite this, Luo Qi did not agree with Su Mo’s approach and said gravely to him.
"Commander Su Mo, I’ve finished resting; if you wish to continue mining, take your ti. anwhile, I’ll lead the troops ahead to scout."
"Alright."
Su Mo’s mind was entirely focused on mining, and he didn’t pay much attention to Luo Qi’s tone. As for him scouting ahead, there was no harm in it, so he agreed.
An Yin, on the other hand, seeing Luo Qi preparing to leave, quickly tried to persuade him in private communications.
"Luo Qi, isn’t this a bit risky? Why don’t we wait for Lord Su Mo and move together?"
"Hmph, do you think I can’t lead a scouting party? You wait if you like; we’re leaving!"
Luo Qi controlled his Fierce Sun Wings and flew straight out with his subordinates.
Watching Luo Qi’s departing figure, An Yin couldn’t help but sigh.
"Ah!"
At this mont, An Yin’s subordinates expressed their concerns via private communication.
"Lord An Yin, since Commander Luo Qi is heading first, should we also head out? It’s unclear how long Commander Su Mo will take here; wouldn’t it delay our task?"
An Yin’s expression shifted before she finally told them.
"Don’t worry. When the sky falls, tall people will hold it up. Besides, Commander Su Mo is not soone without a plan; we’ll leave later."
"Yes!"
Hearing this, An Yin’s subordinates felt a bit relieved and responded.
An Yin then addressed Su Mo: "Commander Su Mo, I’ll go back to rest a bit further; once you’re ready, we’ll depart."
"Go ahead, go ahead!"
Su Mo waved his hand at An Yin.
An Yin left with her team, feeling sowhat helpless.
Long Ke, anwhile, worriedly asked Su Mo: "Boss, is this really alright? Won’t they report you to the City Lord later?"
"Enough, why worry about so much?"
Su Mo certainly knew what he was doing and understood how absurd it was to pause a war to mine, but he had no choice.
"Alright then."
Seeing Su Mo’s resolve, Long Ke remained silent.
In the starry sky, Luo Qi returned to Star Destroyer·Light.
It wasn’t long before Star Destroyer·Light Crystal led the imposing fleet onward through the starry expanse!
...
Seven hours later.
A bottomless passage was excavated by Dorami and the others.
Dorami and the others erged, excitedly telling Su Mo: "It’s open!"
Upon hearing this, Su Mo’s tense face relaxed, revealing a faint smile. He then told everyone.
"You all wait here; I’m going down."
"Huh? Boss, you’re going down alone? How can we let you do such rough work like mining?"
Long Ke exclaid, confused.
Qian Chengxue was also puzzled: "Su Mo, why not let them do it?"
"No need, I’ll handle it myself."
With that, Su Mo walked to the edge of the excavated hole and jumped in briskly.
The creator·Swallower released Stance Outerwear, instantly enveloping Su Mo and transforming into a streak of light, rapidly descending.
Su Mo was startled by this sudden change and imdiately said.
"Hey, hey, no need to rush."
"Hmph! If you were hungry all the ti, wouldn’t you hurry?"
The creator·Swallower retorted.
"Ah, just pretend I didn’t say anything."
Su Mo felt a bit embarrassed.
In just a few minutes, Su Mo entered a vast underground cavern, spanning dozens of square kiloters.
Visibility in the cavern was high, with its walls and floors densely covered in Advanced Energy Crystal Stones that emitted a purple glow.
These Energy Crystal Stones appeared exceptionally clear and of high quality.
Su Mo couldn’t help but take a breath, exclaiming.
"Level 5 Energy Crystals, so many of them!"
The creator·Swallower, without waiting for Su Mo’s command, erged from its body. Looking at these Energy Crystal Stones, it eagerly said.
"Great, all of these are mine."
"How long will you need?"
Su Mo quickly asked.
"Give two hours; these Energy Crystals are too dispersed."
The creator·Swallower swiftly surveyed the entire area and provided an answer.
"Alright."
Su Mo agreed.
Not holding back, the creator·Swallower floated to the air, its body frantically splitting — revealing its main form — and extended nurous tentacles in all directions.
Those black tentacles precisely wrapped around the Energy Crystals extensively.
Su Mo was quite excited as well, curious how much these Energy Crystals would fill the creator·Swallower.
If it filled completely and had so leftovers, that would be perfect.
Above the pit.
Qian Chengxue and the others were patiently waiting.
