Darkness.
The mining cart slowly advanced through the darkness.
A brawny man jogged robustly, closely following behind the mining cart.
After a full twenty minutes.
The mining cart finally arrived at a platform.
Wu Xiaode stretched lazily, jumped down from the mining cart, and stepped onto the platform.
"Are you alright?"
He asked the brawny man.
The brawny man gasped for breath, complaining, "Sir, I nearly ran myself to death."
Just now, under the witness of the Jiuyao Sequence, the brawny man had become his follower.
The two were now in a master-servant contractual relationship.
"You seem very spirited. Rest up, we might have to fight in a bit," Wu Xiaode said.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Rows of glowing small characters appeared before the two men:
"Reaching here proves that you are indeed worth cultivating."
"There are tools in the equipment room behind the platform; please use them to start digging!"
