Volume 3 Chapter 386 The Reward
Inside a long and narrow cave of more than twenty feet.
Several glowing cyan fluorites are inlaid on the top, which clearly reflects everything in this place. The ground and four walls are all pitted and uneven, and at first glance, it is the traces of artificial drilling.
Judging from the age of the traces, it should not be too far from today, and it was directly excavated with sharp knives.
On one side of the cave wall, there is a square passage that is several meters high, but the entrance of the passage is directly blocked by a large monster skeleton that is nearly half incomplete.
At this moment, in front of the passage, a young man who looked like a miner in ragged clothes with a slightly pale complexion stopped and stood, looking at the skeleton of the monster with a thoughtful expression on his face.
This young man is naturally Liu Ming.
After more than a day of continuous in-depth, this place is not far from the deep passage marked in the second half of the map.
During the past period of time, he could see the corpses of some tragic miners from time to time. This is the first time I have seen a skeleton of a monster like today.
There was not a trace of flesh and blood left on this rather huge skeleton, and there was not a trace of spiritual power fluctuations. It must have been dead for a long time.
Judging from the only remaining skeleton remains, it can be vaguely seen that when its body is complete, it should be about three or four feet in size, and its shape generally resembles a giant dog. They all looked sharp and unusual, and there were some fangs several inches long scattered on the ground near their heads, and the cold light of Aomori appeared in the dim light.
"This should be the evil beast?"
After Liu Ming pondered for a while, he muttered to himself in a low inaudible voice.
Suddenly he thought about it, took the bone knife from his waist, and put it next to the skeleton. After a little comparison, he found that the materials of the two are very similar except for the new and old, but there are some subtleties. different.
But the next moment, he suddenly moved his arm, and the bone knife in his hand turned into a cold light and slashed down.
"Pfft" sound.
A thick bone on the skeleton in front of him was immediately cut off by it with ease.
"Sure enough!" Liu Ming nodded, and after putting away the bone knife, a clear expression appeared on his face.
Although the half skeleton in front of him is undoubtedly the remains of an evil beast, the quality of its bones is obviously not as good as that of the bone knife in his hand. It seems that there are also different types of evil beasts, and the disparity in strength is huge.
Otherwise, this half skeleton would not have been abandoned here so easily, and no one has ever cared about it.
But even so, if the corpses of these evil beasts, which are equivalent to the liquid congealing realm, are placed in the outside world, their fur and bones are still a good material for refining spiritual tools.
But here, even the better bones of evil beasts can only be simply processed into sharp weapons, furs are made into map clothing, and flesh and blood are only used as food for hunger.
However, seeing that the miners here are yellow and skinny, their bodies are much stronger than the average monks of the same rank in the outside world. It seems that the flesh and blood of this evil beast has some system-enhancing effects. There are many benefits.
A hint of thought flashed in Liu Ming's eyes, but after touching his chin, he even put the bone knife back on his waist, bypassed the skeleton of the evil beast, and continued to go deep.
...
An hour later.
Holding a map in his hand, Liu Ming walked out of a small cave and came to a fork in the road, his face full of helplessness.
Since he saw the skeleton of the evil beast,
Following the route indicated on the map, it became difficult to find a matching intersection. After several attempts, I couldn't help but recall the words of the strange young man I met earlier at the Sancha intersection.
"It seems that this place is already deep in the ore vein. People often open up new passages, and the map in hand will be so ineffective." Liu Ming couldn't help but think to himself.
After he sighed lightly, he put away the map in his hand, and took out another blank animal skin from his body. According to the current terrain, after drawing it at random, he found another fork in the road. Flashed in.
After half a day.
In the new animal skin in Liu Ming's hand, he has drawn many route signs for the passages, and most of the routes have drawn a cross.
Since he was already in the depths of the mine, in the past time, under repeated attempts, he did find a lot of caves.
But what made him a little depressed was that most of these places were ordinary ores with little value, or waste mines that had been mined.
At this moment, he was holding a piece of jerky, biting it while continuing to search carefully in a long and narrow passage.
This kind of jerky made from the flesh and blood of evil beasts is quite tough, and it is almost impossible to chew, and when you enter it, you can still feel a pungent bloody smell, which makes people nauseous and unpalatable. Extreme!
Having said that, since he stepped into the Immortal Cultivation Realm, this is the second time he has directly eaten the flesh and blood of beasts.
After all, after refining the flesh and blood of monsters into medicinal pills, the effect will be much better, and the impurities and side effects will be less.
Liu Ming was a little uncomfortable at first, but after feeling its special effect, he couldn't stop.
It turned out that this kind of jerky, shortly after swallowing it into the throat, turned into a wisp of subtle heat all over the body and meridians, leaving the limbs and bones with an indescribable feeling of comfort, and even the mind seemed to be more awake. .
It seems that just like what he had guessed before, the flesh of this evil beast really has certain benefits to the flesh.
But what makes Liu Ming a little strange is that the flesh of this evil beast has very little recovery of the mana in the body, which is very different from the flesh and blood of ordinary monsters. .
It seems that this evil beast can not be regarded as a real monster, and its origin is worthy of deep investigation.
When he walked along the passage for no less than a few hundred meters, he saw a new passage that seemed to have just been opened at the end of the passage not far ahead.
Overjoyed in his heart, he hurriedly walked over. Before and after reaching the entrance of the cave, he looked at the small sword marked with black and red blood at the entrance, and immediately frowned.
After hesitating for a while, he shook his head and turned to leave, looking for another mine.
Although there should be a lot of extremely rare ore resources in this passage, since there are marks left, it is obviously already occupied by people.
As Liu Ming walked along the way, he could see some abandoned mine tunnels that had been dug up from time to time, and quite a few of them had various markings at the entrances of the passages.
With his current situation, there is naturally no need to take the initiative to provoke other forces.
...
at the same time.
Another cave not far from the mine trading area.
The cave is relatively spacious, about thirty feet in size, and there are several simple stone houses made of huge boulders on the side.
The stone house is completely closed, without opening a window, only a few holes are left above the four stone walls.
In the open space in front of the house, there are two burly miners who are patrolling back and forth. Each of them is equipped with a weapon made of the bones of evil beasts, and their eyes are swept to the only passage here from time to time. , with a wary look on his face.
And in the largest stone house, there is a huge bonfire burning at the moment.
Several pieces of barbecue were set up above the bonfire, and the smell of meat mixed with a strong smell of blood was wafting out and permeating the entire stone house.
Beside the bonfire, a man with a face full of flesh, with a ferocious face and a body of about 20 feet was pacing back and forth, looking at a short miner with green skin and an uncomfortable expression in front of him with a fierce look.
"So, it was my younger brother who was killed by a newcomer. But where did you find out about this news?" Suddenly, the big man said coldly, his two thick palms only lightly grasped , and immediately there was a crackling sound of joints.
"Reporting to Boss Sha, I recently used the demon insect to cast a secret technique on Tie Scale and the others. I wanted to investigate their movements and see if there were any new resource points discovered, but I never expected to hear the news of your brother from their conversation, so I came to inform you as soon as possible." The little mine slave hurriedly replied with a smile.
"Hmph, I will personally verify this news. As long as it is confirmed, you will naturally benefit from it. But if you dare to deceive me, I will smash your bones inch by inch."
After the big man listened, his figure stopped for a while, and the sound of the joints on his hands suddenly stopped at the same time, only to see the muscles on his chest and arms bulging high, and a layer of crystal color was looming as if made of steel. .
"Boss Sha, how dare I deceive you. I swear by my inner demon, there will never be any falsehood." Under the aura of the big man, the little mine slave couldn't help but startled, and then swore to pat his chest and said.
"Very good, you gave me the news, saying that Sha offered a reward of 2,000 spirit stones to find the whereabouts of this newcomer. A newcomer in a mere mere dare to attack my people, although my brother is just a useless, but this hatred is not enough. If I report it, others don't know how to look at me. As long as this newcomer is found, I will definitely make him regret coming to this world." The big man gave the short miner an order with a grim face.
The dwarf mine slave naturally said yes again and again, and then after the big man waved his hand, Wei Nuo Nuo exited the room.
The stone house regained its tranquility again.
...
Liu Ming naturally did not know that his life was only worth two thousand spirit stones in the eyes of some people.
At this moment, he was in a cave that he had created by himself in the depths of a certain mine passage.
At the entrance of the stone cave, a white-bone scorpion with crimson scales lay quietly on the ground, carefully watching everything nearby.
This passage, it took him a long time to finally find an uninhabited abandoned place, and it took him a long time to open it with the low-grade iron sword spirit weapon obtained from the mine guard. This shelter in front of you.
Although the stone cave opened on the wall of the mine road is not big, only two or three feet in size, but this place may be because it belongs to the rare mineral vein area, even ordinary stones are hard like iron, even if he now has Far beyond the body of the monks of the same rank and with infinite brute force, without daring to easily consume mana to activate the Dragon Tiger Hell Art, every slash can only cut a few inches thick on the stone wall. Just one layer.
At this time, Liu Ming finally understood why those miners worked so hard for some rare ores.
If all the ores in the passages were so difficult to mine, it would not be easy to get enough for a month, and it would be even more difficult to obtain more rare ores. (To be continued.
