Chapter 295: Ore Vein, Right in Front of Me (Part I)
"Ah, comfortable!" Ax stretched and groaned, and when he looked up, he saw the yodeler standing in front of him, looking at him curiously. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Look, is there something wrong with me?" Ax asked puzzled, and at the same time subconsciously touched his face, and did not find anything abnormal.
"Nothing, how about it, can we go now?" The yodeler looked up and looked away.
"Okay, let's go, it seems that our progress must be accelerated, otherwise we won't be able to see the good show!" As soon as Ax had finished speaking, he stood up, then took out a compass and, after discerning the direction, walked towards a cave.
The two walked silently, this time neither of them spoke, and this time there was no one in front of them, so the two walked very carefully, only this time the yodelers did not suggest going back, but followed Ax in silence.
Suddenly, Aix saw three stones in a corner, the same as he had seen on the banks of the underground river, and then walked casually, and the stones were kicked away by his seemingly unintentional kick.
I don't know how big this underground cave is, and the two of them turned left and right in the well-developed passage underground, but they still didn't see the end, let alone any red spar veins.
"Hey, have we been deceived, there are no red spar veins at all, they just tricked us here, and then we were all caught." The yodeler asked, and now in his eyes there was something about it that everything was a conspiracy.
"No way, not everyone is a fool, we didn't see it, it only means that we haven't reached our destination yet, maybe the people of Shadow Island have already started mining, we should speed up, maybe we can pick up two pieces while we are in the chaos, and we will send them when we get out." Ax said encouragingly, but unfortunately the wink was thrown to the blind man, and the yodeler did not have any happy expression at all.
"Listen, what's the sound?" Ax stopped abruptly, and then listened sideways, but he didn't know if it was too far away to hear clearly.
Hearing Aix's reminder, the yodelers also came back from their state of distraction, and listened with their ears sideways, and the yodelers' ears were obviously better than Aix's, but as soon as they heard it, they said directly: "There should be someone digging stones in front of you, and if you listen carefully, you will find that this sound is very rhythmic, and in this kind of place, it must be knocking stones." ”
"Knock on the stone? Mining? Could it be that they have found a vein of red crystal? Aix just thought about it and immediately vetoed it, not to mention whether the red spar vein would be so easy to find, but those companion beasts around the vein are not easy to deal with, absolutely no one can leisurely mine here, and the sound is still so far away.
"Let's go, let's go over and have a look, however, we must leave a way to retreat, we will set up traps on this way, you remember the location, if there is danger for a while, you don't have to worry about me, immediately evacuate along the same road, with these traps to block, no one can catch up with you." After Ax finished speaking, he began to set up a simple trap in the middle of the road, where there happened to be a stone pillar, which, if triggered, would stop the pursuers after it collapsed.
Soon, the two found that at the end of the road, several people dressed as pirates were directing several people to dig stones, and it could be seen from the costumes that they were the pirates of Bilgewater, and those "slaves" were complex identities and people everywhere.
"What are they doing, is there a vein in this?" The yodeler asked, puzzled.
"No, but there must be a treasure, you see that the spring next to it is not, and the water flowing out is obviously fragrant, which means that there must be some precious plant among the rocks." Ax pointed to a cave next to the place where he was digging, and the pirates seemed to have deliberately avoided it, intending to dig through it.
"So what do we do?" With their previous experience, the yodelers know how bold Ax is, and tooth extraction is absolutely commonplace, and it is absolutely impossible to let go of a treasure when he sees it. Only this time Aix's answer was a bit unexpected.
"We don't have to go around with them, and what's inside the stone isn't necessarily useful to us, so we don't have to waste time here with them, and we don't know when they dig it." After Aix finished speaking, he directly withdrew and left in the other direction.
The yodelers, of course, had no objection, and followed Aix, walking in one direction. This time, the two of them didn't encounter any accidents, and they didn't know if it was too deep or if everyone had already found the location of the ore vein, and not only did they not encounter a single monster along the way, but they didn't even see a single figure.
"How far is it, or the two of us will go back!" The yodelers retreated.
"It should be almost there, if we are mistaken, the Chiyao Crystal Vein should be not far ahead, and this is already the range of the companion beast of the Chiyao Crystal Vein, so we must be very careful in our next actions, no matter what the situation is, don't shout loudly." Ax said in a low voice, and his face was surprisingly solemn, this was the first time the yodelers had seen Aix's expression.
"Got it." The yodeler nodded, indicating that he understood, and then the two of them walked cautiously inside, and soon the two of them realized that there were other people here, and even there was a battle here not long ago, and the traces of the battle on the ground were still very new, but strangely, there was no bloodstain, and the more you went inside, the more uneven the ground became, as if someone had used a pickaxe to plane, but Ax definitely knew that even the most idle person would not use a pickaxe to dig the ground here.
"Be careful!" After Ax finished speaking, he was about to walk forward, but his steps were frozen in the air, because a monster came out from behind the stone, and Ax didn't notice it at all, until he saw it with his own eyes, he found that Ax had already leaned out half of his body, and at this time, he happened to be with the monster's big eyes and small eyes, and both sides looked at each other very curiously.
"Hi, hello, we're just passing by, if it's okay, we'll leave first." Ax smiled and greeted the monster that appeared, but the monster's response was simple, a roar, followed by a mouth full of fangs, as if there was no tongue in the mouth, it was full of teeth, even the gums were teeth.
