Meng Hao's axe kept digging into the hard rock, swing after swing, he seemed adamant about breaking this incredibly strong and sturdy rock.
The man in black had asked Meng Hao to dig there, and for a while, after he dug and dug, Meng Hao felt that he was being pranked, since he didn't find anything of use after a long time of digging.
Not to mention by digging here, he didn't get any Blood Stones to fill his quota of the day. If one of the guards were to come and check up on Meng Hao they'll find him missing a huge portion of his quota and he will be punished.
He wasn't a fan of the punishment, but he didn't want the guards to take him away from this spot. Even if it was hotter and more dangerous and so far deep in the mines, it was still away from people, and he could take some time to practice and cultivate after he is done mining.
