"That might have to unify the continent and have supreme power. I don't have that much to spare right now, and I don't have that much to risk risking my life. ”

"Oh, that's arrogant... Speaking of idle time, do you think you can do it with time? Rupert scoffed.

"I know what you want to say, I can answer you, slaves in other parts of the continent, or slaves that I don't see with my eyes, don't want to be rescued for the time being."

"Then why are you stuck with only 63 subhumans? They are just a large number of people among the victims, and saving these 63 will not play any role in the overall situation. Rubeus excitedly gestured.

"It's not for the overall situation, it's just for my mood." Xia Zuo said unhurriedly.

“... Mood? Rupert was at a loss.

"Yes, I didn't expect to save those sub-people and change the pattern of the world, but if I released them, I would be in a good mood, even if I saw a mutilated beggar in my hometown, giving a little change would not change his life, but if I did, my mood would be better that day... It's not for anyone else, it's just for me. Xia Zuo smiled.

"Just for the sake of the mood, spend ten gold coins!?"

"All said, ten gold coins is a small amount, and the feeling brought to me this time is more pleasant than I imagined, completely different from what I have done before, so happy that I want to go to the tavern for a drink." Xia Zuo turned his head and looked at the tavern around the corner of the street, called "Creeping Pony".

The smell of fragrant wine wafts along the street, although it is not as good as that in Liv Village.

Have you done it before, like squandering gold coins? What a loser this guy is!? Rupert grimaced.

"You don't have any money with you, lend me some."

"Who's going to lend you money for a drink?" Rupert waved his hand, "The matter of the beast slave has not progressed at all, and you are still in the mood to drink... Also, it's your personal business, why should I worry about it, huh..."

"It's not about drinking, it's about asking the intelligence merchant for the necessary expenses." Xia Zuo said solemnly.

————

Asked for information about the nearby cave from the tavern, Xia Zuo arrived at the city gate and waited with his back against the wall.

During this time, I leisurely admired all kinds of people from other worlds and carriages.

Soon, Rupert appeared with his horse.

"Ah, you're finally here." Xia Zuo seemed to reach out to greet him in a hugging posture, but in fact took the horse rope.

"If Master Rodney hadn't asked me to take care of you, I'd really like to do whatever you want... Now I'm going to borrow my beloved horse—" Rupert hesitated before handing over the reins, and his hand holding the rope hesitated back and forth.

"That's... It's okay if you don't borrow it, I miss Bai Sui a lot, and I think I should borrow it to ride it for a few days. ”

"Huh!?" Hand over the horse rope immediately, with Rupert's recent knowledge of Rodney, Xia Zuo will borrow it, he will most likely hand over the white spike, and Lord Rodney's horse can no longer fall into this man's hands," its name is "Whirlwind". ”

"Whirlwind..."Xia Zuo gently stroked the dark black horse's head, and the whirlwind exhaled at him.

"Listen up!" Rupert took a step forward, almost close to Xia Zuo's face, and warned: "Take care of the whirlwind, if you come back, I find that it is missing a hair, and it will definitely not let you go!" ”

"One less hair? Have you counted them now? Xia Zuo frowned.

"Humph!" Rupert turned and walked away, and said in a voice that was fading away, "Sixteen hundred and fifty-five thousand five hundred and seventy-one..."

Before he could hear what he was saying, Rupert disappeared into the crowd.

"Okay, I see." Xia Zuo said in a high voice and smiled softly.

Then click on the horse and gallop out of the city in the whirlwind, galloping in the direction of the cave to the west.

Asked about a nearby mining site for two silver coins from a tavern intelligence merchant, or something like that.

Xia Zuo learned that there were five caves nearby, namely three mines, a natural cave, and a relic that the intelligence merchant had only mysteriously said at the end - the Lonely Dungeon.

This name was given by later generations, and as for what it was originally called, no one knows, and it is difficult to determine how long it has existed.

The intelligence merchant strongly discouraged Xia Zuo from going to the Lonely Dungeon, although it was a huge space full of ancient buildings, which were once said to be full of treasures.

However, no matter how legend is, it was many years ago, and it is true that people have dug up a lot of gold and silver jewelry from it for thousands of years.

But gradually, the treasure was hollowed out, and people were no longer as fanatical as before. Later, the explorers who prayed to find the remaining treasure occasionally went deeper, risking encountering undead skeletons, and the end was nothing more than a barren land, and nothing was gained.

The intelligence merchant's description undoubtedly had a negative effect, and made Xia Zuo even more clear that his next goal was "Lonely Dungeon".

After stepping across the plain and going west for more than two hours, Xia Zuo finally saw a lush mountain.

At the foot of the mountain is surrounded by jungle, and there is a passage in this forest where new trees grow, probably only a few years, which is clearly different from the surrounding trees that are often dozens or hundreds of years old.

This is the entrance and exit of the "Lonely Dungeon", right?

Xia Zuo lightly kicked the side of the horse, and the whirlwind slowly walked in, and sure enough, as the intelligence merchant said, there would hardly be anyone here again, and the weeds had exceeded the height of the horse's legs and knees.

Not far ahead, Xia Zuo found the entrance to the cave, a very narrow black cave, too narrow to be entered on horseback.

When encountering a dangerous monster, Xia Zuo was undoubtedly the first to dodge, and he couldn't protect the whirlwind's thoughtfulness and the more than 160,000 hairs on its body.

Then keep it on a leash at the door...... It doesn't seem to be appropriate, Xia Zuo's hand on the leash was withdrawn, thinking to himself in this wilderness, what if a little monster comes out to hurt the whirlwind?

I just lead it away, and if I get hurt, I can pour healing potions.

Xia Zuo sighed, and before entering the cave, he took out the oil lamp from his bag and hung it on his waist.

I miss the setting of dismounting and ignoring the previous dismount, as long as you leave the horse, no matter how far the player goes, press the R key to whistle, and the horse can teleport near the player from the blind spot in the field of vision.

As the cave went deeper and deeper, it became more and more similar to the mine cave in Liv Village, because there were a few "green lantern mushrooms" growing on the ground from time to time.

The difference is that some corners are leaning on the remains of white bones, some are humans, some are monsters...

"Quality 50%, quality 39%..."Almost as long as it is a cave, there will be more or less raw ore, leading the horse forward, Xia Zuo saw some ore of not too low quality protruding from the stone wall.

Perhaps people only look for treasure here as an ancient ruin, forgetting that it can also be mined as a mine.

After more than half an hour of progress in the winding and dark hole...

"97% quality?" That value is a little red in the green bushes, Xia Zuo took out the iron pickaxe in his bag, and there was no reason not to mine it.

The wolf's one-handed sword has been damaged, and he is lacking a good weapon, so let's bring back enough top-quality iron ore by the way.

Release the reins for the time being, "Wait obediently~"

After five strikes, the whole piece of raw ore shattered and disappeared, turning into three iron ores. Along with the disappearance of the support points of this wall.

"Click..."

Xia Zuo was unexpected.

The cracks in the wall stretched to the ground, and his feet suddenly collapsed.

Are you going to fall!? It's as if the game's plot makes the player move the map...."Auto-dodge" makes Xia Zuo jump back one step ahead of time, just to dodge a catastrophe... The ground collapsed into a U-shaped "bottomless pit", and Xia Zuo just stood on the safe edge of the U middle, with his toes only a few minutes from the edge of the overhang.

But the whirlwind was not so lucky, and a neighing sound of horses continued to move away from the depths of the collapse, reaching Xia's left ear, "Hell..."
