"Ding, Ding, Ding......"

The glow of torches emanated from the deep cavern, accompanied by the sound of mining like a blacksmith striking a weapon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Every time Natsuya tapped the pure white mineral in front of her a few times, she would stop and look around to see if any monsters were secretly approaching.

Torches have been planted around, but that doesn't mean there won't be monsters. After all, there must have been monsters in the mine, and because sunlight cannot penetrate the mine, the undead creatures in it will not burn themselves to death during the day......

Sticking a torch only gives you a wider field of vision and prevents new monsters from spawning, but it doesn't stop existing monsters from getting close to you.

On the contrary, light sources have an extremely lethal attraction to monsters, and torches will cause monsters to involuntarily gather here.

But what can she do? If she hadn't planted a torch, she would have been so blind that she wouldn't even be able to find minerals.

The white mineral that Xia Aya is collecting is called aluminum ore, and the mining grade required is the same as copper, compared to copper ore, aluminum ore is slightly rarer, but it is also very common, Xia Aya has just entered this mine and is not many meters away, and the first mineral found is it.

Aluminum ore plays a much smaller role than copper ore, but it is also an absolutely indispensable resource in the soul of the craftsman. Because copper ore and aluminum ore are refined together in a smelting furnace, they will become an alloy called aluminum brass.

Aluminum brass has good corrosion resistance, and is widely used to make parts and casting molds in reality, and in the soul of craftsmen, the most important use of aluminum brass is to make molds.

Although Xia Aya had used wood to make pickaxe molds before, the molds made of wood could only process low-grade materials such as flint and stone bone meal, but could not be used as metal casting molds.

If you want to make a metal tool, you need to make stone parts out of wood molds and cobblestone, and then use the stone parts to be placed on the pouring table in the Craftsman's Soul Furnace and pour them with aluminum brass, which will become aluminum brass molds, and only aluminum brass molds can be used to pour other metal parts.

Therefore, although the use of aluminum ore is not as extensive as copper, the demand is much more than copper.

Knock out some of the aluminum ore, because the durability of the pickaxe is no longer enough, Xia Aya may not be able to take all the aluminum ore away, and the purpose of going down the mine this time is to find more copper ore to make tools, so she didn't finish digging the aluminum ore, only six pieces were dug up, and there was a large piece left, at least more than ten pieces.

But...... The corners of her mouth were crappy, and the fact that she met minerals but didn't finish digging them made her obsessive-compulsive disorder very uncomfortable......

After filling the gap here with dirt and making a slight mark here to indicate that there is aluminum ore here, Xia Aya walked deeper into the mine......

As the exploration of the mine continued to deepen, Xia Aya found that the temperature here was getting lower and lower, and the yin wind blowing from the deeper part of the mine made her shiver and hugged her body tightly.

Fortunately, Xia Aya habitually kept inserting torches on her right hand, and at the same time, the temperature here was not as cold as it used to be.

Although I knew that the temperature would be lower the deeper we went underground, I didn't expect the temperature to change so quickly......

Taking a hard breath of the air in front of her, Xia Aya always felt a little difficult to breathe, is it an illusion?

But then again, if it's summer in this world, maybe you can escape the heat underground, enjoy this naturally formed air conditioner, and mine by the way, wouldn't it be beautiful?

After walking for a while, Xia Aya's set of torches had been half consumed, but no other vein was found.

This made her feel very frustrated, could it be that she was wrong? It's not a mine at all, it's just a normal cave or passage?

She took a deep breath, she couldn't give up in the dark passage, the distribution of ore veins in this world was different from the one in the game, maybe she would find a large copper vein later......

And they have already come here, Xia Aya guessed that she had at least penetrated more than 500 meters into the cave, and if she gave up turning back now, it would be too bad......

"Huh? There's a bright light ahead?! While nibbling on the bread in her hand, while nervously observing the surroundings, Xia Aya, who was walking towards the depths of the cave, suddenly brightened her eyes, she seemed to feel that the brightness of the turn of the cave in front of her was higher than the place she had walked before, could it be that there was some light source after the turn?

Glows in the mines...... Could it be magma?

Xia Aya wasn't sure, because she didn't hear the characteristic "gurgling" sound of magma, and in general, she would definitely feel the increase in temperature visibly when approaching magma, but Xia Aya didn't feel even a trace of it, maybe it wasn't magma, maybe it was something else......

For example, glowing redstone veins?

Whatever it is, just check it out.

"Wow......" Xia Aya covered her mouth, and her pace gradually slowed down, as if she was afraid of disturbing the beautiful scenery in front of her.

In front of Xia Aya was a group of pink ore veins, and the sky blue ore in the pink released a red and blue light, illuminating the small space around her, and dyeing the surrounding rocks pink.

This scene ignited Xia Aya's girlish heart at once, and sure enough, pink and sky blue were her favorite colors, and now, the light of the two colors fused together, as if it illuminated the whole world......

The image of the ore itself is also different from that of ordinary alumina and copper ore, although it is still in the shape of a square, it gives people a more rounded feeling, and the crystal clusters on the ore form strange but beautiful patterns, which make people can't help but want to dig it up, but they can't bear to destroy the beauty of this natural formation......

Xia Aya even felt that this vein was much more beautiful than a diamond mine.

"Fairy Ore", this is the name of this beautiful ore, Xia Aya tried to knock lightly with a pickaxe, and no hint of block destruction appeared, so she couldn't help but shake her head, sure enough, the mining grade is not enough to take this vein away......

Moreover, on the rock wall opposite this fairy vein, Xia Aya also found traces of iron ore, but the level of the pickaxe was too low to dig up the iron ore and fairy spirit ore......

"Tsk......" Xia Aya couldn't help but smack her lips in distress, seeing the pain of minerals but not being able to dig them away, she finally realized it again, if only she could know the construction method of the Craftsman's Soul Smelting Furnace, then he could go home immediately to make a copper pickaxe, and after the copper pickaxe is upgraded, maybe he will be able to mine iron ore and fairy spirit ore.

"Sure enough, this beautiful thing still keeps its original appearance......

Although she thought so in her heart, when she gave up the idea of the ore vein and walked towards the depths of the cave again, Xia Aya couldn't help but glance back at the somewhat dreamy light......
