Chapter 31: Strange Iron Rock
Putting the iron tongs into the package, Li Ming was still a little reluctant to leave this hill map, the wild monkey monster here was the best leveling target for him.
But for other players, this kind of long-range attack monster is too fierce, so until now, the surrounding monster distribution area has been occupied by dense players, but this hill has been quietly no one entered.
Many players just try to fight the monkeys at the edge of the hill and then abandon the area.
But in order to complete the task as soon as possible, Li Ming still had to continue to march towards the mountains in the distance, but he had already made up his mind that as long as he completed the task, he would return here to continue farming monsters before he reached level 10.
Carefully navigating the area where the monsters were located, he was soon out of the map, and a large flat slope and tall mountains appeared in front of him.
On the minimap, the mountain range is known as the Iron Rock Mountain, and at the foot of the mountain is a large sloping open slope covered with turquoise grasslands and low bushes.
Of course, there are countless monsters scattered all over the hillside.
This is already the distribution area of the novice village monsters at level 8-10, which is equivalent to the map boundary of the novice village.
On this hillside, Li Ming has already seen a large number of player teams leveling up, most of them are guild members, and after being randomly distributed to this novice village, he immediately contacted his teammates who were also here to gather and farm monsters together.
Their leveling speed is far faster than that of ordinary players, and they have now reached level 7 or 8 strength.
Seeing them, Li Ming finally understood why Fan Hua's leveling speed was so fast, maybe he had also found a special leveling team.
However, he didn't come here to level up now, so he deliberately stayed away from where the crowd was, dodging the warning range of the surrounding monsters, and headed all the way to the end of the left side of the mountain range.
According to the terrain on the minimap, there is a steep cliff at the corner between the left end of the mountain range and the map, which is the mission location requested by blacksmith Li Da.
Quickly crossing a large hillside, a tall mountain peak appeared at the end of the hillside in front of it, and on the other side it seemed to be the location of the cliff.
This is already the southeastern end of the novice village, and beyond that is the boundary of the vast forest.
Li Ming excitedly rushed over the hillside, and after turning a ridge, a large area of black ground suddenly appeared in front of him, and a black cliff as high as a hundred zhang in the distance......
There is no grass growing on the entire cliff, and the ground is also a pitch-black hard rock, which stretches to the foot of the cliff.
Oh my God, it's all Black Rock!
Li Ming was given the task of finding a black rock on the cliff of the southern mountain range, and taking one of them back with him.
But what he saw in front of him surprised him, because the entire cliff and the ground turned out to be black rocks, how should he find the quest props?
Is it enough to take a random stone?
Li Ming continued to move forward with curiosity in his heart, and walked to the bottom of the black cliff alone, looking up at the tall cliff wall, the stones on it were pitch black, and he couldn't see any difference at all.
He walked up to the cliff and gently tapped the stone wall with the iron sword in his hand, making a crisp clanging sound.
However, no system prompts appeared, and when you look at the system properties of the cliff, a simple stats bar pops up with only one sentence of introduction......
Ordinary black rock can be mined as a simple building material.
……
The introduction of the system is very simple and clear, this kind of rock is just the most ordinary system resource, even if players collect it, it can only be used as a building material, and it is not the casting material required by Li Da at all.
Now the situation has become even more troublesome, and it will be very difficult to find quest items for such a large cliff.
Standing in front of the cliff and carefully exploring all the areas as far as his eyes could see, Li Ming was extremely helpless in his heart, there was no other setting here, so if he wanted to find materials, he could only explore the entire cliff......
However, the rocks on this cliff were smooth, and he didn't have any climbing props on him, so how to climb up was a more troublesome matter......
Step by step, Li Ming's gaze kept searching above the cliff, trying to figure out the entire terrain here.
But in the process of retreating, he raised his head and looked at the sky, and suddenly found that this cliff under the sun, on a cliff about thirty meters above the ground, there seemed to be a black rock area shining with a little light!
And the whole cliff, only there is a light there, everywhere else is pitch black!
The metallic luster of the metal ore!
Li Ming's heart was suddenly overjoyed, the height of thirty meters looked very high, but he found that there was no grass on the cliff, but the cliff wall was not particularly smooth, and there were some rock gaps and uneven areas, which could be climbed by players with their bare hands, as long as they were careful, there should be no danger.
Moreover, if you hang up in the novice village, you will be punished in addition to the sin value state, and players will not lose anything after hanging up in the normal state.
Since there is no punishment for death, Li Ming plans to climb up and take a look.
Hanging the sword back on his waist, he walked to the cliff to find his bearing, looking at the cracks, depressions and bulges on the mountain wall in front of him, he began to busily keep his hands busy, grasping all the climbing terrain that could be used, and slowly climbing his whole body upward......
Climbing carefully with both hands and feet, gradually, his body was getting higher and higher from the ground.
And Li Ming was pleasantly surprised to find that climbing such a treacherous cliff in the virtual world was much easier than in the real world, because the gravity of the virtual world seemed to have been reduced a lot, making it less difficult for him to climb, and his body seemed to be much easier.
And his arm and foot strength are very strong, once he holds or stands firm, he will never feel strained again.
The fear in his heart quickly dissipated, and his climbing speed gradually increased, and after a while, he climbed a height of more than twenty meters, lying on the cliff, and the wind in his ears gradually became louder.
A few meters above the head, a black cliff that shimmers with a glare of stars is also very different from the other black rocks......
Li Ming hurriedly picked up his speed and quickly approached the glowing black cliff.
With only two or three meters left in the distance, the glittering black cliff was finally clearly revealed......
This is a black stone block that is obviously different from other black rocks, and there are no impurities on other black rocks, and on this black rock, there are a large number of black dots, and it is these black dots that emit light......
And the rock is just over a meter long, and three cracks split the rock into several pieces, which shattered between the rock walls.
Mysterious Ore: An unknown ore, said to have flown from the sky, hit the cliff right above, and part of it fell into the cliff, which is the only remaining ore in the novice village.
……
Sure enough, it was!
As Li Ming chose to check the properties of this rock, the attribute introduction that popped up in front of him immediately relieved the doubts in his heart......
