One by one, they floated over, gathering together to begin their work. Their cooperation was extremely smooth, with some responsible for drilling holes and others for moving the dirt.

Long Ke watched this scene and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Not bad at all, professional miners! And judging by the looks of it, as long as they're fed and watered, they can activate the equipment and get to work. The cost is unbelievably cheap. These Never Sleeps are really good at saving money."

"Yeah."

Su Mo nodded slightly.

Long Ke said to Su Mo with a grin, "Boss, these little guys are pretty efficient. It wouldn't be bad to keep them in captivity."

"Shut up. What difference would that make between us and robbers? We'll release them later."

Su Mo replied in annoyance.

"Right."

Long Ke quickly responded.

Just then, streaks of light rapidly approached from the sky.

Su Mo turned his head and saw Roche and An Yin landing beside him in their mecha.

Roche frowned slightly when he saw Su Mo using the Lingchuzhe to mine.

"Commander Su Mo, you're here."

An Yin asked respectfully.

"Yeah, what's up?"

Su Mo asked directly.

"Well, we've rested enough. Shouldn't we set off and continue forward? After all, our mission has a time limit."

An Yin said to Su Mo very respectfully.

Su Mo felt a bit of a headache hearing An Yin's words. These guys recovered so quickly.

He gathered his thoughts and then said to An Yin and Roche.

"Let's leave later. I have some important business to take care of here. Once it's done, we'll set off immediately."

An Yin wore a strange expression when she heard Su Mo's words. Important business? Mining?

She didn't know how to respond for a moment.

The veins on Roche's forehead bulged. What time is it, and he's still thinking about mining?

If one of his subordinates said something like that to him, Roche would definitely twist his head off.

But Su Mo was his superior, with the highest command authority, and he was stronger than him. He really couldn't do anything about Su Mo.

Even so, Roche didn't agree with Su Mo's actions. He said to Su Mo in a deep voice.

"Commander Su Mo, I've finished resting. If you want to mine, go ahead and mine slowly yourself. I'll lead the troops ahead to scout the way."

"Okay."

Su Mo's mind was currently on mining, and he didn't pay too much attention to Roche's tone. As for him wanting to scout ahead, it wasn't a bad thing, so he agreed.

On the other hand, An Yin saw Roche wanting to leave first and quickly persuaded him in a private communication channel.

"Roche, isn't this a bit too risky? Why don't we wait for Commander Su Mo to act together?"

"Hmph, do you think I can't even handle scouting ahead? If you want to wait, wait slowly. Let's go!"

Roche controlled the Wings of the Burning Sun, took his subordinates, and flew straight away.

An Yin couldn't help but sigh as she watched Roche's departing figure.

"Sigh!"

At this time, An Yin's subordinates asked her in a private communication channel.

"Commander An Yin, Commander Roche and the others are leaving first. Should we leave first? Commander Su Mo doesn't seem like he'll be done anytime soon. What if we delay the mission?"

An Yin's expression changed for a moment, and finally she said to her subordinates.

"Don't worry, there are taller people to hold up the sky. And Commander Su Mo isn't someone without a sense of proportion. We'll leave later."

"Yes!"

An Yin's subordinates felt a little relieved when they heard this and responded one after another.

An Yin then said to Su Mo, "In that case, Commander Su Mo, I'll go back and rest a bit more. We'll set off again when you're ready."

"Go on, go on!"

Su Mo waved his hand at An Yin.

An Yin also left with her people, feeling a little helpless.

Long Ke asked Su Mo with some concern, "Boss, is this really okay? Will those guys complain to the City Lord about you later?"

"Alright, why worry so much?"

Of course, Su Mo knew what he was doing, and he knew how absurd it was to stop mining during wartime, but he also had his own unspeakable difficulties.

"Okay."

Long Ke stopped talking when he heard what Su Mo said.

In the starry sky, Roche returned to the Star Destroyer: Light Crystal.

Before long, the Star Destroyer: Light Crystal led a mighty fleet and continued to advance towards the starry sky ahead!

......

Seven hours later.

A bottomless tunnel was dug out by the Dorami and others.

The Dorami and others floated out and said excitedly to Su Mo.

"It's open!"

Hearing this, Su Mo's tense face relaxed, and he smiled faintly. Then he said to everyone.

"You all wait here, I'll go down for a bit."

"Ah? Boss, you're going down alone? How can we let you do such rough mining work?"

Long Ke said in a daze.

Qian Chengxue also said in confusion, "Su Mo, why don't you let them do it."

"No need, I'll do it myself."

After Su Mo finished speaking, he walked straight to the opened hole and jumped in nimbly.

The Creator: Devourer released a force field outer garment at this time, instantly enveloping Su Mo, turning into a streak of light and falling rapidly.

Su Mo was startled by the sudden change, and he said.

"Hey, hey, no need to be so anxious, right?"

"Hmph! If you were hungry every day, wouldn't you be anxious?"

The Creator: Devourer couldn't help but complain.

"Cough cough, never mind I said anything."

Su Mo was also a little embarrassed.

In just a few minutes, Su Mo instantly entered a huge underground cave area. The entire cave spanned tens of square kilometers.

The visibility of the entire cave was very high. Its stone walls and ground were covered with high-grade energy crystal stones that emitted a purple halo.

These energy crystal stones looked very clear, and it could be seen at a glance that they were of extremely high quality.

Su Mo couldn't help but gasp and exclaimed.

"Level 5 energy crystals, so many of them!"

The Creator: Devourer didn't wait for Su Mo to give an order. It drilled out of his body and looked at these energy crystal stones. It said very happily.

"Great, these are all mine."

"How long will you need?"

Su Mo quickly asked.

"Give me two hours, these energy crystal stones are still too scattered."

The Creator: Devourer quickly scanned the entire area and gave an answer.

"Okay."

Su Mo nodded in response.

The Creator: Devourer no longer held back. It floated into the air, and its entire body crazily divided, instantly revealing its main body, which divided into dense tentacles that spread out in all directions.

Those black tentacles accurately and extensively entangled the energy crystals.

Su Mo was also quite excited, wondering how much the Creator: Devourer could be filled with so many energy crystals.

It would be great if it could be filled completely, with some left over.

Above the mine.

Qian Chengxue and the others were patiently waiting.
