Chapter 9: A Bloody Case Caused by an Attribute Stone (Part I)

The Pitch Black Tunnel is an underground quarry built by the Dwarven Kingdom thousands of years ago, and it is said that the original dwarves traveled to several regions in order to mine rare attribute stones, and finally chose the current Pitch Black Tunnel as their base camp. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The dwarves with advanced alchemy technology created a terrifying alchemy golem, the Mechanical Giant, which was known to the people of the time as the Mithril Colossus. The Mithril Colossus has extremely high physical resistance, and even a top-tier Tier 9 physics class may not deal as much damage to the Mithril Colossus as a first-order swordsman to a slime. What's even more terrifying is that the magic resistance of the Mithril Colossus is also amazingly high, only slightly lower resistance to a few rare elemental attributes, but for common attributes such as earth, fire, water, wind and other attributes, it is not much lower than physical resistance, which is simply a nightmare for the strong.

But even the dwarven civilization with such a powerful civilization eventually fell apart. The exact reason for this is unknown, but it is said that there are still remnants of the dwarven civilization in the depths of the dark tunnels, quietly waiting for adventurers to arrive......

And now, after listening to Milou about the origin of the pitch-black tunnel, Kurto and his party are already gearing up and can't wait to enter it.

"Wait, before you go inside, check what supplies you're carrying." Roque reminded.

"I brought the 'Apple Jelly' to restore my strength, the 'Orange Jelly' to restore my magic power, and the elixir to relieve the abnormal state." Mi Lu rummaged through her backpack and muttered.

"And what about the most important item we have been reminded of before we set off, the iron pickaxe? How can we dig up attribute stones without this thing? ”

"Ahh This ......" Mi Lu was embarrassed and turned the package upside down, but it was useless, and if she didn't bring it, she didn't bring it.

"I knew it was unreliable to expect you to be funny, don't worry, I brought a full three iron pickaxes, enough for us to dig for ten days and half a month." Roque shook his head helplessly, with an expression I already knew.

"Hee-hee...... It's the first time people come out on an adventure, of course, they can't compare to you, an experienced old driver! Miru stuck out her tongue mischievously.

"It's common sense to go out with all your adventure essentials. I often meet rookies who come across a treasure chest but don't have a master key and want to smash the treasure chest in a hurry. It's not me who blows, if it weren't for my reminder, you'll be like these rookies soon. Guarding the treasure mountain empty, but there is no door to enter. Roque said with the appearance of a senior, although he was originally a senior.

"Got Captain Roque!"

"Alright, let's go inside."

……

When everyone really walked into the dark tunnel, they felt that the environment around them suddenly became dark.

With no sunlight shining through, the tunnels are lit only by torches lit every 10 meters, and the entire pit is quiet, with the intermittent sound of iron picks digging in the distance.

Roque flipped out the pit map that had been prepared a long time ago, compared the current location of everyone, and said: "We are now at the entrance of the pitch-black tunnel, to the left is the first quarry, to the right is the second quarry, and at the end of the middle road is the elevator, which can lead to the third quarry deeper underground, where there are rarer attribute stones. But unfortunately, this elevator has been broken for a long time, and no one has come to repair it. If you really want to go to the third quarry, you can only go through the second quarry, enter the deeper blockade area, and reach the third quarry through the blockade area. ”

"Lockdown area? Is it dangerous there? Kurto asked curiously.

"With our current strength, it's really dangerous. It's full of necromantic monsters, and it's like a natural predator to physics classes, and we're pretty much all physics classes. Roque looked at Kurto's muscles and Milou's swordsman attire.

"Even if we do go to the blockade area, only if we dig up one of the two attribute stones, 'fire' and 'water' in the first or second quarry, and then have someone on our team turn into a fire mage or a water mage to break through there. In addition, I would like to remind you that even if you successfully transfer to become a magician, it is best not to go there until you do not have second-order strength, because this is no different from looking for death. Roque warned cautiously.

In Roque's plan, the safest and fastest order to become stronger is: first obtain the "fire" or "water" attribute stones, and then transfer from himself to become a mage of these two lines (because of the inheritance ability, Roque must buy a new costume), improve the rank as quickly as possible, learn the "fireball technique" or "ice needle", and then enter the blockade area, kill all the way to the third quarry, and get the rare attribute stones of "light", "dark", "thunder" and "yuan".

Among them, the dark attribute stone Roque is to use it himself, in preparation for inheriting Leon's costume in the future, and the "meta" attribute stone is given to Kurto, and when Kurto grows to a certain extent, Roque will suggest that he inherit the costume of the legendary boss Daos! Although Dios looks like a magician, his physical attack power or hand-to-hand combat ability is not inferior to that of a physics profession, and it can be said that he is a fusion of a fighter and a magician. As for the "light" attribute stone to Milu, in order to inherit the costume of Valkyrie Valshule, this will not be said before. And the "thunder" attribute stone is one of the necessary props to defeat Daos, because Daos is a full attribute resistance in addition to the thunder attribute, not only magic, but also physical resistance, second only to the Mithril Colossus above, and the natural recovery of physical strength is also extremely terrifying, if there is no thunder attribute professional in the team, it is almost impossible to defeat Daos.

"So, are we going to Quarry 1 or Quarry 2?" Kurto asked.

"According to the village chief's suggestion, let's try our luck at the No. 1 Quarry first, after all, the monsters there are relatively weak, and it is suitable for us to improve our clothing." Roque suggested.

"Then go to the First Quarry!"

……

Walking in the empty mine, listening to the echoes around you, coupled with the dark environment, it is really a test of one's psychological endurance. If it weren't for Kurto's company, Roque doubted that he would have continued to walk, he really couldn't imagine how the dwarves thousands of years ago endured the pain of staying in such a dim underground for many years, maybe this is the reason for the disappearance of dwarven civilization? Roque guessed.

After walking for a while, there was finally a conversation ahead.

"Hey, Jack, what did you get out of today?"

"Alas, don't mention it, this damn No. 1 quarry, the good things have already been dug up, and there is not even a single hair left, I have been digging for half a month, let alone attribute stones, and there are few pieces of silver, how should I live this month......"

"Or ...... Let's go to the second quarry together? I heard that the attribute stones there have not been hollowed out yet. ”

"If I could, do you think I'd stay here? With the strength of those of us who are not of the first order, not to mention whether we can save our lives under the sneak attack of monsters in the second quarry, even if you are lucky enough to dig up good things, can you guarantee that you will not be robbed by the rest of the powerful miners? ”

"Alas, this world is really impossible to mix......"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Roque also has a deep understanding of the cruelty of this world. This is not the rule of law society in the previous life, the husband is not guilty, he is guilty, if he is not strong enough and has treasures, he will die! Even if Roque has a lot of prophetic advantages, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not die in aggrieved because of a certain murder and treasure grabbing, this is not a game, there is no save and no pause button, only the most real darkness and desire, killing and death.

Kurto heard the words as well, but it didn't hurt his self-confidence in the slightest, and Roque read a conviction in his eyes that the seeds of the strong had begun to sprout.

In contrast, Milou is the most innocent one, as a girl, she is neither like Minter who has been adventuring with Chris all year round, has experienced countless fights, nor is she like Chelsea with a cute appearance, but she actually has strong strength, in Roque's opinion, among this group of people, Milou is the one he is most worried about, and she still retains the innocence and innocence of a girl, even if she fights with monsters, she often does not need to use all her strength, so how can she inherit the title of Valkyrie?

So, Roque secretly made a decision.

Soon the crowd entered the first quarry.

The first quarry is different from the previous tunnel, the space is relatively empty, and there are no torches around it, but more advanced magic oil lamps, the whole quarry is about the size of a football field, and there are traces left by previous people everywhere, and if you don't pay attention to your feet, you may fall.

There were only a few miners digging in the first quarry, only a dozen, most of them were yellow-skinned, with dark hands, numb eyes, and they turned a blind eye to the entry of Roque and his party, and continued to dig mechanically.

"Here, here are three iron pickaxes, Kurtomiru you take one each, Minter you don't need it, just pay attention to the sneak attack of the monsters and warn them in time."

"Okay." The crowd responded.

The attribute stone is not directly exposed on the surface of the rock layer, due to the relationship between the concentration of the elements, it is often the gathering place of a certain element that it is possible to give birth to an attribute stone, you may say that it is not good to dig directly in the gathering place of the elements, to ensure that a dig is accurate, then you are very wrong, first of all, for the average person, the concentration of the direct sensing element is simply a dream, and even if it is a professional, it is difficult to judge the gathering place of the element without the assistance of precious props, And even if there is, they may not be willing to take it out and use it to find an attribute stone that is only possible to be born.

The three of Roque quickly picked a spot where no one was and began to swing their pickaxes, while Minter sat on a rock and watched quietly.
