Su Qi wasn't surprised that the old man knew about the Land of Extreme Evil and matters of the afterlife; after all, this place had existed for at least half a year now.
A large number of creatures from the Present World who entered the Dark Zone never returned, nearly 80% of them; perhaps they perished there, or perhaps, just like now, were imprisoned in this place to labor in darkness.
"So, kid, you'd better start mining. All you newcomers have to dig at least five energy stones, and at your rate, it will take at least four hours for each one," the old man said calmly. "And this environment is not suitable for an extended stay, it will cause problems."
He looked at the terrifying electromagnetic storm in the Sky Dome... The air was also filled with tiny, drifting black particles.
"Alright, but the energy stones..."
Su Qi fumbled with a shiny blue crystal in his hand and said with interest,
"Is this it?"
The old man nodded: "Yes."
"Wait, that's not right!"
