Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Business of the Ferret Family
"This is a time of danger and a time of opportunity. Donna Ferre, tall and burly, with dark red hair, looked at the valley in the distance and said in a deep voice, "People like me, before this era, could only be called and drunk by those who were high, and if they were lucky, they could save money to buy some land for retirement, and if they were unlucky, they could only die in the gutter one day." But this era has given us a different choice. ”
Pan Long didn't answer him.
This big man with strong martial arts skills is very unexpected and has some poetic temperament. He often sighs inexplicably, and sometimes he can say a few words with rhyme, like poetry.
But he doesn't need the support of others, or even if others want to go along with him, he often ignores them.
He often acts as if he is living in his own world, and if he were placed in Pan Long's previous life, he would probably be sent to a mental hospital for treatment.
However, his strength is indeed not bad.
Before setting out for this silver mine, Pan Long had studied with him. In terms of martial arts, he can barely compete with Pan Long, which is much stronger than those rookies who kill in one move.
And this is still the state when he didn't awaken, if he awakens, his strength will be greatly increased in a short period of time, although most of them are not as good as Pan Long, but in this world, he is already a rare master.
...... At least much stronger than Colin.
The Ferret family has such a master, but they still don't have the confidence to explore that silver mine, and the risks can be imagined. So when Weimar and Joseph discussed it, they chose to give up.
But Pan Long didn't intend to give up, on the contrary, he was curious about what was in that silver mine.
He wasn't interested in money, but he was interested in weird things.
Opportunities are always hidden in danger, how can you get them without taking some risks?
The "awakening" of this world is an interesting system of power, and although it is very costly, it is also very powerful. If you can master this method and deduce it perfectly, you will have a powerful hole card at a critical moment.
As for its side effects, Pan Long didn't care.
Secret methods such as "Heavenly Demon Disintegration" in the Kyushu world consume much more than it, but the effect is far worse than it.
For example, the famous "Heavenly Demon Disintegration", according to the Jianghu guests, this secret method derived from the Demon Dao can increase a person's strength to double or even triple in a short period of time, at the cost of a serious illness afterwards and a lot of loss of life.
This kind of method is already an untold secret in the rivers and lakes. All those who know it hide it and resolutely do not tell anyone about it.
The effect of "awakening" is far greater than that of "Heavenly Demon Disintegration", but the side effects are much smaller. Just after the fact, he will only be weak for a while, and basically he will be fine after a day of rest, which makes Pan Long very satisfied.
Desperate tricks, it's normal to have such consumption. Rather, as a hole card that can skip the level at a critical moment, there are only this level of side effects, which is simply perfect!
So Pan Long is very interested in it and wants to learn it.
Colin is dead, and the only Awoken he can reach is Donner Ferre.
This guy with a bit of a bad brain isn't very communicative, but at least it's still in the realm of communicativeness. Even if he didn't have this silver mine, Pan Long wanted to set his words well and ask him how he woke up.
And this silver mine just gave him a good opportunity to observe Donner up close and study this guy's awakening process and awakening ability!
So after discussing with Weimar and Joseph, Pan Long persuaded them to change their minds.
Now, they are on the outskirts of the silver mine, cleaning up debris with the henchmen of the Ferre family in preparation for the exploration of the silver mine.
Milton leaned over and asked, "Do you see anything?"
"How can you see it from such a distance?" Pan Long asked rhetorically, "Can you see anything?"
Milton shook his head, "But my brother said before that he saw a deep darkness in this silver mine. ”
Pan Long frowned: "Are you sure what he said is credible?"
Milton smiled a little awkwardly: "I'm not sure...... You can see my brother's mental state. No one knows if what he said was true or false. ”
Pan Long nodded and asked, "Have you explored the mine before?"
"No one has ever been in, but two dogs have been sent in. Milton replied, "Only one came out, and he was wounded, and he died soon after." ”
"What injury?"
"The bite, the wound looks like it was bitten by a rat or something, but the wound is bigger, and if it's a mouse, it's probably bigger than a normal rabbit. ”
"It's just this level, nothing to be afraid of. ”
"In this day and age, reliable manpower is too scarce. Milton said, "Reliable people, we are reluctant to take risks." As for the unreliable, we don't really care if they live or die, but it would be even worse if they deliberately told us some false information. So we just kept locking it down and not going to investigate. Wait until you have enough strength. ”
Pan Long nodded, feeling that this approach was quite reasonable.
The two sons of the Ferry family, one has force and the other has brains, and they cooperate very well, no wonder this family can thrive in Holy Salt Town, and it is so strong that when they encounter danger, the officials of Holy Salt Town are willing to come forward to say good things for them.
After a while, the road team reported that the weeds and the like on the road had been cleared and they could go in and investigate.
Milton accompanied Pan Long and Donner to the mouth of the mine in the valley and dressed them in sturdy full-body armor.
"Remember, we're just going to explore, and we're not going to mine it now. As he approached his departure, he stressed to Donner, "It's just a matter of going to see it, and if you encounter an enemy, you can't fight as much as you can." Safety is the most important thing!"
This phrase "safety is the most important" has been emphasized several times along the way.
It can be seen that he is very uneasy about his brother.
...... After all, Donner's mental state is not normal, and Pan Long feels that if he has such an older brother, he will also worry about it all day long.
Maybe Milton's intelligence was not innate, but was cultivated by worrying all day long?
The two of them carried torches and walked into the cave.
The cave is dark and deep, and a stream flows from it. The water of the stream is often glittering with tiny grains of silver.
It was through this stream that the Ferret family traced the cave and determined that it was a silver mine.
But where is the silver mine in the cave, what are the reserves, is it convenient to mine, is it inconvenient to mine, is there any danger?...... Everything is still a mystery.
Pan Long wasn't afraid of danger, but he was curious.
He has not had the opportunity to see the real gold and silver mines in two lives, and even if he finds nothing this time, it is good to be able to open his eyes.
