Under the gray sky, the wasteland is silent, yet dangerous.

But in a confused fog, there was a faint flickering of light, and when you got closer, you could see that it was a light.

A pale blue gemstone pendant hangs from the Seymour's single horn and lights the way to the night.

The light was not bright, and when it was ten meters away, it was like a firefly in the forest, but under each point of light, groups of travelers walked on the wasteland with tired faces.

Around them, two tall metal giant guards gave them some sense of security, but they were also covered in devastation.

Tired and dazed, this was the seventeenth day they had walked in the fog, and they had not enjoyed a safe night since they left Horn City on the day they accepted the mission.

To be honest, this is a group of visionaries and amateurs who want to make a fortune, trying to find a resource point in the wild and get rich overnight.

Especially at present, the resource war is becoming more and more intense, and all forces have given heavy rewards, so there are naturally many brave men...... Or rather, reckless.

It's been more than half a month, the water has reached the limit, the exploration team does not have the ability to survive in the wild, and the beasts in the demonic fog are only hunters and not prey in front of them.

The temporarily hired guards don't want to do it anymore, and the two lightly armed magic armor "Spear Type 3" with performance of less than three generations can probably only perform the task of expelling the beast.

Everyone knows that their group has reached the limit, and if there is still no harvest after two days, I am afraid that they can only do it everywhere, no matter how unwilling they are, there is no way.

By this time, there were only seventeen members in the thirty-man integrated team, and most of them were wounded.

Two people were left behind and missing, four were confirmed dead, and four were seriously injured....... in fact, in the absence of safe wilderness areas, in the absence of clean water and medicine, that is equivalent to death.

The lightly wounded returned with the wounded, but I am afraid that no one would think that they had returned home safely.

After paying such a heavy price and still finding nothing, this is already the border of the shallow area of the Great Harlet Wasteland, and if you continue to advance, it is no longer an area that mortals can reach.

But ....... so much loss when he returns, he has gained nothing so far, and he can't even afford to pay the pension.

".......'s almost, let's try again. ”

The bearded old captain couldn't tell his age, but Velvet "Punch" was a well-known adventurer in Horntown thirty years ago, at least before he lost the thunderstorm and right arm he became famous for.

The captain's order was given, and the steel guard turned around and took out an instrument from the trailer behind him, which was a drill bit platform more than two meters long.

One of the magic armors began to operate, the other one was carefully guarded, and the rest of the team also carefully hid behind the iron giant.

"Click!"

The crunch of burrowing through the ground, although no one else could hear it from a distance, was enough for the hungry predators in the demonic fog to guide the direction of their prey.

“...... Do you want to try? I've failed so many times. ”

"Abba and Xiao Mi were both caught while drilling, and they still came....... it's too dangerous, or you should talk to the regiment commander. ”

"Don't be stupid, offend the head of the regiment at this time, and the next time there is danger, what if they don't save you?"

Professional adventurers probably still have some determination and will, hoping to complete the task to recover their losses, while most of the rookies who were gangsters and farmers not long ago just want to end this "nightmare" like their first adventure, and then obediently return to the leaky but extremely safe thatched hut, and never do anything more to get rich overnight.

As a professional adventurer, Vivier is not too old, and according to the standards of the Ashites, he can be regarded as a strong person in the fourth order.

It's just that he is old and frail and has a mutilated limb, so it's really hard to say how much combat power this boxer still has.

Not long ago, the rookies who were ordinary farmers couldn't understand the power of professional fighters at all, and naturally they didn't know that their "whispering discussions" were actually heard clearly by everyone in the team.

It's just that the old regiment leader with a bitter face under the beard can say something.

He has failed too many times, and now, even he is not optimistic about the future of his group.

The young alchemist, who was a part-time geologist, was squatting beside the well, and the stones collected one by one were simply tested and tested, but he kept shaking his head, so that everyone's hearts were immersed in it, and they were all disappointed and depressed.

An old man came over and whispered to discuss the next way out, but Old Vivier still didn't agree this time.

“...... We have no way back....... it's unexplored........ there's a chance to wait ....... day ....... see how it goes......."

A little fierce but suppressed quarrel finally failed to reach an agreement, but suddenly, a scream broke the extremely oppressive range.

"Ahhh

Before they noticed where the screams were coming from, everyone immediately became nervous, and someone was taken away by the beast in the demonic mist?

"What are ..... calling nonsense, don't want to live, will attract wild beasts......."

Only then did everyone notice that it was the young alchemist who was screaming, and just as Vivier was about to continue to rebuke the rookie's actions that would attract threats, they noticed that the young man's face was distorted with excitement.

"....... found?"

The old mercenary said in disbelief, but the young man's constant nodding made him ecstatic.

"Less than three meters underground, we found the raw ore of lightning strikes! The content is more than 50 percent! This means that below, below us, is less than three meters deep! It is a natural semi-open-pit mine!"

Bare mines near the surface of the earth?

In an instant, surprise and tears erupted uncontrollably at the same time.

A near-open-pit super side-mine, what does this mean? infinite wealth and fame? a ladder to nobility, a super holy water to heal stumps, or all of the above.

"Dig, dig!"

The trembling just now has disappeared without a trace, and everyone is looking at the drilling rig with joy, and some people can't wait to start digging deep with a shovel.

Even the demon armor driver on duty adjusted his angle and looked at the drill with blank eyes.

But at that moment, the shadows in the demonic fog suddenly changed, and several huge shadows appeared.

In the southeast and northwest, the huge thing came slowly, faster and faster, and it seemed that something was slowly awakened.

"We're rich!"

And the source of the increasingly noisy sound is the signpost that guides the way.
