Chapter 25: Entering the Mine

Chu Rui has always disliked being vulnerable. Whether it is for himself or for others, in his opinion, being vulnerable can make people lose their fighting spirit and be weak to bully. However, now he is very envious of the blacksmith's uncle's daughter, and likes the blacksmith's fragility. To be able to make such a man cry like rain, the blacksmith's feelings for her daughter are really impeccable.

Fragile, not scary! Everyone has something they care about in their hearts, and even strong people have their own vulnerable side. It's not shameful to show your vulnerability, for the people you care about, for the people you love, even if you become vulnerable? At least it proves that he is not dead yet, he still has that thing called "heart". Compared with some people with hypocritical smiles and admirable actions on the surface, they are extremely dirty behind their backs. People like Uncle Blacksmith are even more respectable!

"Uncle Blacksmith, don't worry, I will help you fulfill this wish, absolutely!"

Seeing the crystals flowing on the black face of the blacksmith uncle, Chu Rui felt that it was so shining and so holy. After walking in the dark for a long time, even if he still sticks to himself tightly, restraining himself with morality, so that he is still a person, not a bloodthirsty demon who only knows how to kill. But the long-term murder also made his heart gradually numb.

People now live in steel cities, wear fake masks when they go out, go home and shut themselves in small rooms. Without intimate communication for a long time, people become withdrawn and their hearts become numb. There is only that numb and simple life every day, go to work, go to get off work, go home, that's all. In life, people are rich, but spiritually, people have become idiots and gradually lose themselves.

It is extremely difficult to move someone whose heart is already numb. The uncle of the blacksmith's dedication to his daughter touched the strings in Chu Rui's heart. At this moment, he promised, very solemnly promised the uncle blacksmith, not thinking about the task, not thinking about what reward he could get from the uncle blacksmith, he just simply wanted to help him, to complete the loss of his wife in his early years and the death of his wife in his later years. Just a lonely woman.

"Thank you, thank you!" The uncle the blacksmith burst into tears. After a while, he stabilized his mind. He silently took out a hoe from the corner and said to Chu Rui, "My family has been blacksmithing for generations. , I have no ability, and I have nothing good. This pickaxe should be regarded as a thank you!"

"Ding, congratulations on receiving the trigger quest: Blacksmith's Wish, and get the quest rewards: mining, pickaxe!"

Mining: life skills, elementary, 010000, able to collect ore!

Pickaxe: golden equipment, attack -35,! Requires level 1, lasting 3030!

【Special Effect】Able to mine ore!

[Passive Effect] Deep Excavation: The ore extraction rate is increased by %, and the high-level ore extraction rate is increased by 5%!

Slightly glanced at the reward, Chu Rui did not have much joy in his heart. , "Also, this thing is from my family's ancestors, bring some self-defense!" The uncle of the blacksmith stuffed a few small and delicate iron rods.

Iron Bullet: Hidden weapon, causing 0 points of mandatory damage to all enemies within a 3*3 range!

hidden weapon?

Is there even such a thing?

Looking at the five small iron rods in his hand, Chu Rui was a little surprised. Area attack, and it is still mandatory damage, 0 points for the current players, most of them are direct instant kills! Really nice stuff!

"Uncle Blacksmith, I'll go first! Don't worry, I will definitely find your daughter!"

After putting away the iron bullets, he took a deep look at the uncle blacksmith who had wrinkles on his face, Chu Rui said a word to him resolutely, and then turned his head and walked out of the blacksmith shop without hesitation.

Going straight to the entrance of the village, looking at the village chief standing there unchanged for thousands of years, Chu Rui moved in his heart and stepped forward.

"Are you ready to go?" Seeing Chu Rui, a smile appeared on the village elder's face.

"Village chief, I will definitely destroy the monsters that wrecked the mines, don't worry. Also, your son..." After glancing at the village chief who had a quiet expression and a sad face, Chu Rui breathed a sigh of relief and continued. : "I will find him, and Uncle Blacksmith's daughter, I will help you find them."

"Hehe, that boy, Lao Tie, told you everything." The village chief endured his grief and said with a forced smile: "Let go and do it! But don't work hard. We have sacrificed for that mine. You have met a lot of people, you are still young, and there are still many things you haven’t done, don’t lose your life in vain!”

"Don't worry, village chief, my life is on the line. No one can take it except myself, not even monsters!" Chu Rui smiled and waved his hands.

"Ding, the player 'Sa Sa' asked to talk to you, do you accept it?"

"accept!"

"Shand, we're ready, where are you?" Sa Sa's voice was still so fresh and straightforward, which made Chu Rui, who was in a somewhat gloomy mood, feel a lot better.

"Here is the village chief at the entrance of the village!" Chu Rui explained his location, and then hung up the communication.

Listening to the blind tone, Sa Sa was a little stunned. Then she reacted a little embarrassed and angry.

What's the matter with that man? Are you blind by ignoring Miss Ben's charm over and over again? Damn it, it's not a blessing for others to say a few more words to me. Hanging up so fast makes me feel like a plague.

"Xiao Sa, what's wrong?"

Looking at Sa Sa with gritted teeth and resentment, Ye Zifeng, who was standing beside him, couldn't help asking. When he heard from Sa Sa that the trickster actually got a hidden mission, and perhaps a hidden map, he was very excited. Originally, the gold coin just wanted to have a good relationship with the trickster, and it was an investment. However, the unexpected return from the investment just made him even more convinced of his desire to win over the trickster. For him, nothing in the early game is important, only the level is the most important. Once you reach the tenth level and reach the city, it can be regarded as the real start. The first step to arrive, the first step to seize the opportunity. Now that the trickster gave them a chance to gain super rich experience, how could they not be ecstatic? Seeing Sa Sa's angry face, he couldn't help but worry, could it be that something happened? He ran back from the crocodile area eagerly. Lang spent training time, but don't let the pigeons go!

"It's nothing, that guy is at the entrance of the village!"

Sa Sa said angrily, and walked away first with a downcast face, leaving Ye Zifeng and the others with a stunned look on their faces.

"so slow!"

Standing at the entrance of the village and waiting for a long time, Chu Rui finally saw Sa Sa and the others who were swaying, and could not help but frown slightly.

Without unnecessary nonsense, Chu Rui directly drew them all closer to the team.

"Let's talk about it first. Since I'm the captain, everything must follow my command. Also, I have the priority to choose equipment. If it can't be done, then say it now. If it's a critical moment later. Drop the chain, then don't blame me for being rude!"

After scanning Ye Zifeng, Sa Sa, Tian'er, and the tall and thin young magician whose id is "Xihuo", Chu Rui said directly on the team channel.

"Hey, I have to listen to you in everything, and let you choose equipment. Don't we have nothing to gain?" As soon as Chu Rui's words fell, Tian'er couldn't help shouting.

"You can choose not to agree!" Chu Rui didn't even look at Tian'er, and looked straight at Ye Zifeng: "I'll give you a minute to think about it!"

Seeing Chu Rui who turned away, Ye Zifeng smiled bitterly. He glanced at Sa Sa and Xihuo who were frowning, and then pulled Tian'er who was furious, and whispered to them about the pros and cons.

"Have we discussed it?" Chu Rui asked lightly after squinting at Ye Zifeng.

"Brother Cunning Hand, please give me a lot of advice. You are in charge of this mission and have the right to order!" Ye Zifeng said a little embarrassedly under the unhappy expressions of the three next to him.

"Very good! If that's the case, then let's go!" Chu Rui nodded, not caring about the expressions of the three of them, and took the lead.

According to the map given by the village chief, Chu Rui and his party had been running for nearly 30 minutes before reaching the mysterious entrance of the mine. Glancing around, Chu Rui was stunned to find that this Nima was not far from the place where the gray wolf king lived. Standing at the entrance of this abandoned mine, he could even see the high platform where the gray wolf slept. .

Looking around, maybe it was because the mine had been uninhabited for a long time, and the place was already overgrown with weeds, almost covering the entrance of the cave. If it weren't for the map, Chu Rui really didn't know that there was a mine here.

Perhaps there is a relationship with a monster in it, and before entering the mine, I felt a cold feeling. Glancing at some regular special stones and talismans attached to certain positions around the mine, Chu Rui frowned slightly, stepped forward with some vigilance, and touched it, nothing unusual! It seems that this seal only works on monsters!

No danger was found, Chu Rui waved towards the back, Ye Zifeng and others immediately followed.

The pitch-black corridor, although it is impossible to reach out and see five fingers, but the visibility is greatly reduced, and with this gloomy atmosphere, it makes Sa Sa and Tian'er tremble. In the end, it is a girl who is innate to be afraid of the dark and some small animals.

"Clap clap..."

Stepping on the hard stones and dry wood, the crisp sound kept ringing, and there were bursts of echoes in this unknown depth of the mine. The strange atmosphere made Chu Rui and others a little silent and vigilant.

"Hey, what the hell is this place? Except for black or black, there are no two ghosts!"

After walking for a while, Tian'er finally couldn't help but pouted and spoke in dissatisfaction.

"Attention, here we are!"

Chu Rui, who had been leading the way in front, suddenly made a noise, which made the four people behind him suddenly tense. The gloomy atmosphere on the road ahead made them all a little bit nervous. Now that Chu Rui said that he was going to really fight with unknown things, he was quite nervous!

Not caring about the nervous expressions of the four people behind, Chu Rui brought them here just because he didn't want to owe that gold coin. Other than that, nothing else to think about. Holding the dagger, the cat moved slowly forward. After getting out of the tunnel, what caught Chu Rui's eyes was a huge mine, and the... disgusting monsters wandering in the mine!
