"Oh, adventurer! You've come at the right time......"

Located at the foot of Mount Ancaras, the Ancaras Mine is not very high, so it doesn't take long to get there. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info But the hot scene in front of you is still a little unexpected - even now, even with such rumors, there are still many workers working here, and from time to time there are people wearing work hats and workers' clothes coming in and out of the hole in the distance, transporting colorful and various stones.

In front of the entrance is a large square, from which some of the railroad tracks are still in operation, extending into the caverns before disappearing into the dark end. There are some strange devices in the square, which are suddenly operating there, and I don't know what their specific purpose is, but judging by the halo emanating from the side, they are probably high-end goods powered by magic.

At the entrance of the cave square, there is a sign that reads Ankaras Cave, hanging on an iron arch, and there is a small wooden house in the doorway, the roof of which has been dusted to an earthy yellow because of the harsh environment here. A stout man with his hands on his hips was standing at the door of the wooden house, shouting at the people in the square, and when Duan Qing and the others passed, he immediately put on a smiling face.

"We're in trouble in the mine! There are a lot of tunnel crystals there! We need help! ”

The man who seemed to be the owner of the mine made a request straight to the point before Duan Qing and the others could speak. Due to the loud noise in the square, every word he said seemed to be poured into his strength, and in the eyes of the people on Duan Qing's side, it became a hoarse shout.

It was indeed staggering—several people were shocked by his sudden shout for a long time, and then they came to their senses and figured out what was going on.

"What to do ......"

Ask the mine owner named Xigang to wait a little, and several people get together and start discussing. What made them struggle was not whether to accept the commission, but whether to ask him about Yasqi's whereabouts first.

"If we do this mission, we will inevitably spend more time here, in case that Yaski really escapes, we will go and find it......"

"But it's not bad to complete the task first and brush up on the favorability, if you ask so directly, will he tell the truth or two......"

"Why don't you say it, don't think about people so badly, okay?"

"Eldest sister, he is the owner of the Ancaras mine, if such a big thing happens in the mine, will you report it truthfully and let this scandal be announced to the world, or will you cover it up first and wait until the matter is clarified?"

"This thing...... Is it that serious? ”

"Whether it's serious or not is a question for those in higher positions to think about, but what we know now is ...... This matter is now in a state of concealment. Duan Qing suppressed his voice and said, in an environment with loud noise, his voice was very difficult to discern: "Otherwise, we won't hear those ...... until we come here." Rumors. ”

Several people were silent for a while, and finally Xiao Hongchen scratched his back: "Okay, okay, don't ask these questions again, hurry up and say what we'll ...... next."

"Let's go in first." Duan Qing said directly: "For the sake of prudence, let's help this Xigang first, anyway, ......"

"When we get in, we can continue to inquire and investigate."

After the agreement was completed, several people found Xigang, who was still shouting command towards the square, and said, "We accept your request, let's talk about the specific situation......

"Oh, thank you very much!" Xi Gang showed a overjoyed expression, and then pointed to the door of a mine cave with frequent entry and exit on the opposite side of the square and said, "That's it, Mine No. 2." Recently there have been a lot of bugs, lizards, poisonous snakes, all kinds of strange reptiles......"

"Stop, stop!" Duan Qing raised his hand to stop him, and then looked at the other party with suspicion: "You said that there were a lot of ...... in there Different kinds of monsters? ”

"Uh, yes, yes! I know it sounds weird, but it's really not the first time......"

A few people learned a little about the situation, and then after getting the promise of a reward that Xigang swore about, they set off immediately. They made their way through the hectic crowd while avoiding what seemed dangerous, and finally disappeared into the depths of the mine. If the noise wasn't so loud, maybe someone could still hear the excited discussion of the people in that group.

"That Xigang man is still very good, I look at the spear he showed me, it seems to be very good!"

"I didn't get it, God knows how."

"I heard him say that it is made of blue iron here, no matter how you say that the quality will not be bad."

"If it were me, it would be more like a good shield......"

"When you're done, come back and discuss it again, maybe there's a chance to ......"

Standing at the door, Xi Gang did not continue to yell at his men as usual, but squinted his eyes and watched the pair of centaurs gradually disappear into the darkness. Then he heard a call from behind.

"Sir, are you the head of this mine?"

Nishigang turned his head, and then let out a hearty laugh: "Ah! Is it an adventurer? You've come at the right time......"

What appears outside the gate is still a team of players, a combination of four men and one woman, and a combination of swords and shields, which is the most basic routine of the current adventurer team. The man in the lead carried a long sword on his back and wore an imposing armor, which reflected light on the surface of the polished armor even in the yellow sand-covered environment. He had a standard mid-haired style, and led a good-looking woman in tawny leather armor towards him.

He has a name on his head: Codename Cuong.

"We've been commissioned by the Mage Council to investigate something." That Ah Qiang did not change his attitude because of Xigang's enthusiasm, and still said in his usual serious tone: "I don't know if you have heard of it...... The names of these people. ”

Looking at the list that the man pulled out of his arms, Xigang's eyes narrowed again.

******************

"Blue Ironite Blue Ironite, why not blue?"

"Who told you it had to be blue...... The Blue Mountain Village is not blue, and when we came, the Ankaras Mountain we saw was not a blue mountain......"

"It's just a little curious, and ......" the little girl Mengzhu still asked with great interest, "In that case, why do you call him Blueite?" ”

"About this ......" This time, the smiling butcher on the side answered the question: "It is said that after these ores are smelted, they change their color, so the weapons and equipment made from these iron ores have the deep blue of the deep sea, so they ......."

"These mineral ......" With a torch in one hand, Duan Qing picked up a stone casually and put it in the firelight to observe for a while: "There are such characteristics, I can't see it......"

"Everything on the free continent has all kinds of peculiar properties." Uncle Smiling said, "It doesn't matter if it's a dead thing or a living thing. ”

"Well, I feel the same way."

"Me too."

"One by one, don't be so cowardly, if you encounter any strange creatures, you have to be reckless first!"

Illuminated by the yellow torches, a slow-moving creature suddenly appeared, and Xiao Hongchen, who had just finished saying that, immediately found an opportunity to practice himself. I heard him roar, took out his giant axe, and rushed up to cut it down.

The dull sound of percussion echoed in the mine like his roar before, Duan Qing took out the ear piercings that were itched by the shock, and then reminded helplessly: "Don't be so impulsive, there is still ...... Don't scream so loudly, what if the mine collapses......"

"It's not that coincidental. But what the hell is this......"

The hard-shelled creature that had been "knocked" by the axe turned slowly, and seemed to aim its head at this side - in the light of the fire, several people did not see where the creature's head was, and if anything, it should be a ...... Turtles.

However, the hard shell on its back is pointed and high, and it looks like a stacked stone cake, which is reflected black along with the black torso in the front. The creature straightened its body, paused in place for a moment, then shrank and suddenly rolled like that.

"Damn, it's really a turtle!"

In the scramble, several people took refuge. However, the mine road was not wide, and they didn't have extra space to dodge, so in a hurry, Duan Qing and the other two had no choice but to retreat, letting Uncle Smiling come to the front. The latter unleashed his large shield to block the strange attack of the strange creature.

"This thing is the pit crystallization worm that Xi just mentioned." Duan Qing said in the rear: "It looks a little ...... It's hard to bite. ”

"No wonder there aren't any miners here, so they've run to such a high front......" Mengzhu said from the other side.

"This creature doesn't attack actively." The smiling uncle in front of him explained to the other teammates while blocking the arch in front of him: "According to our concept in the game, they should be called Yellow Monsters, as long as they don't move it, it won't move us." ”

"In other words......" Several people looked at Xiao Hongchen who was hiding on the side at the same time, and the latter hurriedly waved his hand: "Ah, ahhahaha, I didn't mean to, give me a chance, I'll go and apologize to that bug, okay......"

"Forget it, our task is to get rid of them, so we still have to fight them......" Before Duan Qing's words were finished, the tunnel crystallization worm that had been blocked in front of him suddenly changed its attack method.

Instead of trying to push down the strange iron plate that never seemed to retreat, it threw its head back and let out a chilly breath. The cold air instantly filled the surroundings, and the smiling butcher bore the brunt of the attack - ice crystals spread from the shield at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually beginning to cover his arm.

"Retreat!" Duan Qing shouted, and several people hurriedly withdrew to the section of the tunnel they came from.

"Crystallizers like to devour minerals, and then decompose and absorb the elements in the ore and turn them into their own special abilities. There's so much pyrite here, and it seems that what they've learned is the ability to spit out ice crystals......"

The tortoise-like creature moved slowly, so they didn't have to run far before they were out of each other's hatred range. The smiling butcher gasped and introduced the rest of the monster to everyone.

"This kind of thing...... I can't stand it when I come too much. He looked at his arm, which was still covered with ice crystals: "I'm so old......"

"Anyway, how do you know so much?" The little girl raised her doubts: "I remember that you came out of the novice village like us, right?" ”

"I always like to look up information, I'm used to it." The smiling uncle kept smiling: "I heard that I was going to come here to do a mission, so I checked all the information related to Blue Mountain Village last night......

"Let's not talk about your dedication." Duan Qing also breathed a sigh of relief: "Are these players so crazy now, they have figured this side out so quickly......"

"I don't know." Uncle Smiling said helplessly: "But from the current point of view, the information they released is still very accurate, at least the appearance of the crystal worm can be correct, it is said that the mountain bag on their back is the result of swallowing minerals and growing......"

"But now that I think about it, this creature is still very ...... Cute, I wonder if it will attack in other ways......"

Either way, the mission will continue. The group discussed for a while, and then decided on some tactics to deal with, but when they returned to the place where they had been, the turtle-like creature was gone.

"Huh? Where did it go? ”

"I don't know......"

"Could it be that other players are doing this quest as well?"

The aura of doubt gradually dispersed in the team, and several people looked at each other a few times, invariably raised their vigilance, and then slowly touched the front.

Then, the sight ahead made them even more suspicious.

Due to the scattered distribution of ore, the four walls of the mine are irregular, and some places may become very narrow, and some places may become very spacious due to the hollowing out of the back. A few people didn't take a few steps forward before they entered a relatively wide space.

Perhaps because the area is too wide, some oil lamps are hung on the wooden brackets above the cave to fix the top, which illuminates the place very brightly, and also reflects the surroundings of the place very clearly.

Several railroad tracks stretched from Duan Qinglai's path, and then dispersed in this space, paving in different directions. A few abandoned minecarts were scattered around the corners of the space, and one or two were still on the railroad tracks, but it looked like they hadn't been used for a long time. One of them was parked at the entrance near Duan Qing's side, and they found their previous opponent next to the minecart.

The crystallized worm had just died.

Not far away, the light of the oil lamp reflected more crystalline insect corpses, scattered here, roughly counting, there were about six or seven. In the distance, near another cave, several black shadows appeared to surround the corpse of a crystallized worm, seemingly filling their stomachs.

Hearing the abnormal sound coming from the other hole, they stopped eating, staring at the few people here with their weird blood-red eyes, glaring at the hairs of Duan Qing and the others.

"It's ...... What's the situation? ”
