The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

"Damn it! Who left the mining pickaxe here!"

He cursed as he got up from the ground, only to find that what's lying on the ground was not a mining pickaxe, but a long piece of cast iron.

As soon as Brown Beard touched the cast iron, he paused slightly, then knocked it with his stout knuckles, and the expression on his face instantly turned to shock.

Such good steel just thrown here like this?!

The greed in his heart overshadowed fear of the unknown, and as he reached out coughing to pick it up and put it in his pocket, he discovered that the steel ingot was welder firmly to the ground.

Only then did he manage to see clearly through the black smoke, that thing wasn't just one piece as he imagined, but extended endlessly in two long strips!

The two steel ingots were fixed on horizontally laid wooden planks, extending like a paved road deep into the mine tunnel.

Brown Beard was astonished.

No use of such good steel for casting weapons, but rather for paving roads!

This is too extravagant, isn't it?!

The joys and sorrows of Demons never connect, and the Dwarves' obsession with steel is no less than humans' obsession with silver...

As for why it's not gold, Dwarves also like that stuff.

Just as Brown Beard's jaw dropped at the luxury of the Demon King Territory, a lamp suddenly lit up at the end of the tunnel, and the rumbling sound gradually approached him.

The howling wind blew away the thick smoke in the mine tunnel, yet the smoke seemed to be gushing out from the mouth and nose of that steel monster!

Brown Beard stood dumbfounded on the spot, his jaw dropping at the light, with a stunned expression, as if he had seen the Demon God himself.

What is this thing?!

Just as he was stunned, a piercing whistle suddenly came from the noisy rumbling, almost shaking his ears to bleed.

"Woo——!"

With the whistle roaring and a teeth-gritting screech, the huge steel monster finally came to a stop right before colliding with him.

Dumbfounded, Brown Beard looked up, only to see that the huge steel monster behind was towing a long string of carriages two-man wide, with several undead miners wearing mining hats sitting on the front carriage.

I'll form the head: "Damn it! Why is there a human here! How the hell did you get in?!"

I'll form the legs: "Not human! Looks like a Dwarf!"

I'll form the crotch: "Pfft hahahaha! Why doesn't this Dwarf have hair on his head?"

I'll form the head: "MMP! Good thing I braked in time! Otherwise, I'd end up on the Glory List!"

Being on the Glory List is no big deal, but turning a living person into undead will end up in the Little Black House.

The game is currently in its initial development stage, and Beifeng City's life professional players are busy with coal and steel in high demand, mining coal for one day can earn quite a bit!

Although you can mine coal in real life too, doing it in the game is evidently more dignified, and doesn't risk your life.

If you accidentally break a bone, just get a new body and continue, since reviving skeleton soldiers is cheap and covered by the boss.

Brown Beard stared blankly at the undead, and blurted out.

"What are you all doing?!"

I'll form the head impatiently replied.

"Doing what? Isn't it obvious we're hauling coal!"

"Hauling coal?"

Brown Beard blinked, looking at the strange machine beside him, his expression instantly becoming odd.

"Using this thing?"

He couldn't imagine how such a large contraption could operate within the complex coal seams.

Of course, rather than how this thing worked, just the fact that it could move had already dropped his jaw.

Is this an elemental puppet summoned by the Demon King?

But isn't it a bit too big!?

Just as Brown Beard was utterly shocked, the skeleton soldiers sitting on the steel beast grew impatient, urging him by patting the "steel beast's" head.

"How could you use this thing! Are you blind? Obviously, it's for hauling coal!"

"Exactly!"

"Stop talking nonsense, if you don't want to become a zombie, hurry and get on the train, we'll take you out of here first!"

The concentration of carbon dioxide in the mine exceeded standards, with lots of carbon monoxide too, if it were the "fragile" Dark Night Elves, they'd likely be passed out, but Dwarves seem more resilient?

Whatever the case, players are unwilling to risk ending up in the Little Black House by fooling around with this guy in the mine, since missing out on mining coal could cause major losses!

Hearing the urging of the undead, Brown Beard nodded quickly, reluctantly glanced at the steel ingots on the ground, and carefully climbed aboard the steel beast.

He originally thought it would take effort, since the beast seemed like a grumpy creature, but upon climbing up, he discovered its temperament was much more docile than he imagined.

Though the most incredible part came later.

One of the undead scooped up some coal with a shovel and tossed it into the furnace in the steel beast's nape.

Only then did he realize that this thing actually ran on coal!

"Is this... a steam engine?!" Brown Beard's face turned ghostly, shouting in shock, "How did you do this!"

The steam engine was familiar to him, Hell Dwarves' mine tunnels had them everywhere, but they were used for pumping water.

He'd heard that humans installed this on ships, enabling them to sail at full speed against the wind, though he'd only heard about it and never actually seen it.

As for a steam engine capable of running on ground, he'd never even heard of!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't dare to believe it was real!

Faced with the stunned Dwarf, several skeleton soldiers exchanged glances, the flickering soul fire written with bewilderment.

"What do you mean how did we do this..."

"Uh, isn't this just how it's supposed to be used?"

If not this way, then how else would you use the steam engine?

Just as Brown Beard and the servants of Lord Demon King were staring at each other, Alakdo softly clicked from above the mine tunnel.

What a pity, letting this impolite Dwarf save himself from disaster.

For the sake of Lord Demon King, he'll let him off this time.

Hope he'll learn a lesson and watch his mouth next time.
