After a month, the workers at the mines, accompanying Meng Hao had begun to break down.
Even with moderating their work and following Meng Hao's methods of mining, some still succumbed to the Baleful Qi.
The guard for Meng Hao's group cleanly disposed of those who transformed, not allowing anything to ruin his path to promotion. And those who seemed weak for now were given some slight slack on the expense of the others overworking themselves.
The guard didn't want his month to be blemished with a lack of Bloodstones, so he made sure to get fresh blood to supply the dead miners.
Though it took the newcomers a couple of days to understand how the work is done, Meng Hao and his companions were enough to support the lacking manpower.
