Chapter 154 Saltpeter Mine
Command the kobolds to decorate the stage and set up the bonfire. Jia Zhengjin always felt that something was missing.
What's missing from a great gala?
Inspiration suddenly appeared in my mind-fireworks!
He immediately ran to the grocery store and found the proprietress: "Are there any fireworks here?"
"What are fireworks?" Winnie, the proprietress of the grocery store, shook her head and said, "The goods here are different every day, even I can't figure it out!"
Jia Zhengjin looked carefully at all the products, but he couldn't find any fireworks. However, I spent 5 gold coins to buy a blueprint for making leather sofa furniture.
Since there is no need to sell it, you can only find a way to do it yourself.
The last time he killed Tie Beiqiu, Jia Zhengjin had already learned the formula of gunpowder.
The materials for synthetic gunpowder are saltpeter ore and coal.
There is so much coal that Jia Zhengjin can reap a lot after cooking in his own residential building every day. Not to mention that the coal left over from the daily life of more than a thousand villagers and town guards in the entire city is placed in the warehouse.
Then the only thing needed now is saltpeter ore!
He left the city by himself and went to the mine to bring out the doppelganger stationed there.
There is no saltpeter in this mine, and he needs to go farther to search.
Ride on the doppelganger, flap your wings and fly high into the sky and start circling the forest.
There are many strange-shaped giant birds in groups above the forest, and there are also groups of creatures similar to pterosaurs soaring, and at the same time, there is a fox with wings hunting pterosaurs.
Of course, these alien creatures will take the initiative to avoid the shapeshifter, and they are convinced of its "dragon" identity.
Jia Zhengjin started the skill of finding mineral veins, and carefully searched every inch of land that he flew past. There are iron ore and copper mines everywhere in the forest, and there are relatively few gold and silver mines, but they can also be seen.
Other veins other than this are very rare.
After searching for a long time, just when he felt that there was no hope, finally an inconspicuous saltpeter mine appeared in front of him.
Excited, he hurriedly drove the doppelganger down.
It is very far from the city,
Flying high in the sky, only faint traces of the city wall can be seen.
There are also many strange and dangerous creatures around, but in front of the fake dragon, these creatures will keep their distance and stay away as much as possible!
However, next to the saltpeter mine, there is actually a lair of wild kobolds.
Facing the fake giant dragon transformed by the doppelganger, all the kobolds curled up in their lairs and trembled, not daring to come out at all.
Mining is very important, but kobolds are all experience!
Seeing that they were all hiding in the cave and did not dare to come out, Jia Zhengjin took out some stone bricks from his backpack and blocked most of the entrances and exits of the Kobold's lair, leaving only one entrance.
Because the lair is connected, he let the doppelganger breathe fire into the hole.
"Usu~~" The shapeshifter got the order, and immediately walked to the lair, and opened its mouth to spit out a burning pillar of fire.
As a result, the entire kobold lair was engulfed in flames, turning into a furnace.
The kobolds were roasted uncomfortably in the lair, so they all wanted to escape. It turned out that most of the cave entrances were blocked by stone bricks, so we could only grope to the only exit one after another.
However, the doppelganger was waiting at the exit, and a kobold came out, and immediately a mouthful of flames spewed out.
They were burned to death when they were bored inside, and they were also burned to death when they ran outside. These kobolds had no ability to resist the shapeshifting monsters that had learned to breathe fire!
Jia Zhengjin kept receiving message prompts, and an innumerable 30 experience points were swiping the screen. His experience bar is also rising rapidly, this brand new way of blocking doors, brushing monsters and leveling up is simply too cool!
There were actually one or two thousand wild kobolds in the lair, and Jia Zhengjin had risen to level 11 before he knew it. What a surprise!
When you finally receive the news that the experience value has been increased by 500, you know that the kobolds in the entire lair have been emptied. But now he can't enter it to search it at all, so he can only leave it like this for now, and wait until it cools down!
Have shapeshifters guard nearby. Jia Zhengjin added skill points to unlock the alchemy laboratory, then took out an ordinary-quality iron pickaxe from his backpack, and hurried to dig the saltpeter mine.
The vein of the saltpeter mine is located in a cave terrain under a cliff.
It was pitch black inside the cave, and nothing could be seen. So Jia Zhengjin took out the torch for lighting.
After finding the location of the saltpeter mine, he placed the torch and immediately raised the pickaxe to mine.
[News] You got the saltpeter mine!
[News] You got the saltpeter mine...
Compared with other ores, saltpeter ore is much easier to collect. Basically, you can get a piece with every pickaxe.
Before long, more than 300 saltpeter mines near the entrance of the cave were hollowed out by him.
Jia Zhengjin, who was still not satisfied, took the torch and wanted to go further into the cave. However, at this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared and rushed towards him.
"Back instantly!!" Jia Zhengjin felt that something was wrong, and immediately used his life-saving skills to move back quickly.
The black shadow flew into the air, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Although it was only for a short moment, Jia Zhengjin could clearly see the outline of the black shadow. If you insist on describing it, it looks like a black slime? And the body is very large, and the movement is very flexible.
Not knowing the opponent's strength, he exited the cave first for safety reasons.
The doppelganger is too big to even get its head into the cave. Otherwise, is there any need to worry about black slime?
"To make fireworks, these should be enough, right?" Looking at the more than 300 saltpeter mines in the virtual backpack, Jia Zhengjin decided to give up digging more ores first. Come back next time, bring Dolma, Buddy, Worf, and Karl, and then rush in with the kobold troops. I don’t believe that this black slime is immortal!
But before returning to the city, you need to search for the loot in the kobold lair!
After finally waiting for the temperature to drop in the Kobold's lair, Jia Zhengjin bent down and got in from the only entrance and exit.
Inside were densely packed with charred kobold corpses, and he groped through them one by one.
The low-level kobolds exploded with the lowest low-quality wooden sticks, and of course there were also some simple materials, such as iron ore, wood, ropes, stones and the like. Although mosquitoes are small, they are meat, and he never let them go.
Thousands of dog meat people produced a perfect stick, but it was useless!
Traveling back and forth in the maze-like caves, it took him a lot of effort to finally find the body of the kobold leader in the deepest part, and beside the kobold leader was a golden treasure chest!
Just like the first kobold lair, the main loot is on the boss, or in the treasure chest!
