Chapter Fifty-Nine: What I Saw and Heard on Misty Island
"Discover a sulfur mine!"
"There are thousands of blood plants found."
"Gold Mine Discovered! My lord, it's a gold mine! ”
Damn, are you sure you read that right?
Lu Cheng hurriedly went up to check.
Of course, the minerals in the game cannot be the same as in the real world, all the mines will form an area with clear boundaries, and after entering this area, there will be blocks of minerals on the ground, and the way to calculate the mineral reserves is to calculate the size of each mine and the number of mines.
This is the second time that a gold mine has been discovered after the last discovery of copper-gold mixed ore in Skull Castle, and Lu Cheng was shocked to find that this is actually a pure gold mine!
"The reserves are estimated to be more than 500 units." Li Tiezhu said excitedly after taking his subordinates to count the number of mines.
That's 100,000 gold coins!
Sure enough, if you don't die, there will be a blessing!
Lu Cheng's mood immediately turned cloudy and clear, he didn't expect to find so many treasures on his first trip, especially this gold mine, sending a few hundred people can dig it in a day, don't come too fast.
Will this fog ever lift?
I've been in the Fog Zone for so long, and although the fog has a thin and dense pattern, it has never disappeared, is it that it will never disappear?
Misty Island, the name also seems to imply that the fog doesn't dissipate so easily.
Wouldn't that be stuck on this island?
Lu Cheng put aside this bad thought, or hurry up to explore first, the mineral resources found in less than an hour are really amazing, this island is like a pile of resources waiting for people to mine, almost all the minerals he knows have been found on the island, and the reserves are not small.
"Discover a marble mine."
"A coal mine was discovered."
"Found a cryolite mine."
......
Stopping and recording the irregular mineral resources along the way, the team slowly made its way to the depths of the island.
"My lord, there is a situation ahead!"
Li Tiezhu suddenly reminded him, and Lu Cheng took his eyes off the resource record book and looked in the direction of Li Tiezhu's finger.
A tall tree could be seen hundreds of meters ahead.
Wrong! Lu Cheng looked at it again, it was not a tree, or at least the crown of the tree was not the original tree, but a man-made watchtower, but the pillar was the trunk of a big tree.
"Everyone find a bush to hide, and be careful not to make a sound."
With Li Tiezhu's order, the militiamen who were still excitedly looking for mines immediately dispersed and found tall grass to hide.
It is not a good practice to recklessly expose yourself to the noses of local forces in an unfamiliar place, and only after fully understanding the strength of both sides can you make an objective judgment, and once you act rashly, if you encounter a local force with bad intentions, it is easy to be swallowed up and there is not even any scum left.
"My lord, I'll take someone to the front to reconnoitre."
Li Tiezhu and Lu Cheng hid behind the same tall bush, and pushed aside the grass more than half a meter high next to them to observe the guard tower of the unknown force for a long time.
The watchtower was made of a lot of wood and was almost a spherical structure, but after Lu Cheng looked at it with a telescope, he found that the workmanship of this watchtower was extremely rough, the wooden planks were all randomly fixed with some rattan and a small number of wooden nails, and several figures could be seen in the watchtower, and occasionally the spear-type weapons they held in their hands could be seen poking out of the watchtower.
"Stay safe and avoid being discovered by them." Lu Cheng put away the telescope and handed it to Li Tiezhu, "You can use the telescope, remember not to get too close." ”
"Yes!"
Several figures bent down and slowly touched the guard tower of the unknown force, and Lu Cheng stared intently at the backs of Li Tiezhu and the others.
400 meters.
Li Tiezhu and the two militiamen hid in the grass and watched the guard tower for a while, and after finding that there was no movement, they continued to run from one bush to another.
300 meters.
The distance was already very close, Li Tiezhu took out his binoculars and carefully observed the watchtower for a while before continuing to approach.
200 meters.
This distance is already the limit, and even when the grass is everywhere, it is very easy for people from high places to spot the abnormality.
At this moment, Lu Cheng saw a figure on the watchtower from a distance, walked to the side where Li Tiezhu was and looked at the sky for a while, and then seemed to say something to his companions, and immediately another figure also walked over, pointing to the sky with his hand.
Lu Cheng was a little puzzled, although he couldn't see what these two people were talking about from a distance, judging from the occasional movements, they seemed to be more concerned about the sky than the earth, could it be that this guard tower was mainly aimed at the threat in the sky?
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a loud roar resounded across the land.
Lu Cheng was taken aback, this loud roar was amazing, and even the mist kept tumbling, as if a behemoth was approaching.
The figures on the watchtower seemed to react more violently, one of them quickly climbed down the watchtower and ran into the distance, while the other few who remained were visibly panicked, their spear-like weapons constantly wringing together, and it was obvious that they were very afraid of the owner of the voice.
"Roar!"
The roar was closer, and Lu Cheng felt that there seemed to be a whirring wind in the sky, like a pair of huge wings flapping.
There's movement in the sky!
Although Lu Cheng gave the telescope to Li Tiezhu, he could still see a shadow approaching rapidly from the foggy sky in the distance.
Call~
Just as the shadow was about to burst out of the mist, several spears suddenly flew out of the watchtower and shot at the shadow.
"Roar!"
The shadow quickly raised its flight altitude, and several spears slashed through dozens of meters below the shadow, apparently not even touching the edges.
Several more spears were thrown into the shadows.
However, this level of threat was still too weak for an aerial unit, and after rising a little higher again, a faint yellow flash suddenly emanated from the shadows.
it! It's magic, isn't it? I'm afraid this shadow is a dragon, right?
Lu Cheng was extremely shocked.
"Boom!"
A spherical flame erupted from the shadow's mouth and hit the tower like a meteor falling to the ground, and in a violent explosion, the entire outpost was wiped out, and the scattered earth and burning wood crackled across a radius of hundreds of meters, and a mushroom cloud of smoke rose into the air.
"Roar! Roar! ”
Seemingly satisfied with his results, the shadow hovered in the sky for a moment before slowly flying away.
As if it was just a routine sweep.
Li Tiezhu and the other 2 militiamen in the center of the battlefield were almost stupid, the huge explosion and the oppressive feeling of the behemoth made them frightened and did not dare to make any moves, even if they ran away, it was useless, so they hid in the grass and did not even dare to breathe, and they did not dare to look at it until long after the battlefield calmed down.
The watchtower, along with the nearby shrubs within a radius of tens of meters, turned to flying ash, leaving a large crater several meters deep in its place, and a pungent smell of sulfur permeated the air for a long time.
"My lord, those wild people are not dead, they jumped off the watchtower and ran away the moment the magic fell......," Li Tiezhu, who was slightly injured, organized the language, "they ...... It is extremely flexible, and its movements are faster than that of a monkey, and it is estimated that it has not even touched the edges. ”
Damn, I kept staring and didn't notice them escape, when was that? Am I dazzled?
Lu Chenghu looked at Li Tiezhu suspiciously, are you sure you are not making up a story?
Li Tiezhu was a little depressed when he was stared at by Lu Cheng like this: "My lord, I watched them running towards the mountain, and it is estimated that their lair is over there." ”
Lu Cheng looked in the direction of Li Tiezhu's finger, and saw some towering peaks faintly in the distance.
Lu Cheng pondered for a moment: "Tiezhu, first send someone back to the battleship to inform Lu Nan to be prepared in case of emergency." ”
"What preparation?" Li Tiezhu didn't understand what Lu Cheng meant.
"We think we can get in touch with these people." Lu Cheng looked at the mountain peaks in the distance, "But just in case, you still need to prepare for the worst." ”
Li Tiezhu's expression froze: "My lord...... Wouldn't it be inappropriate to have direct contact like this? ”
Lu Cheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "So inform Lu Nan first to prepare for emergencies, I think these people are in a lot of trouble now, and they probably don't want to make enemies easily, and you didn't find that they are actually more on guard against threats in the air, and they are not very worried on the ground." ”
Li Tiezhu pondered for a moment and nodded: "What my lord said is that I also found that they have been observing the sky and not paying attention to the situation on the ground. ”
"That's it, that shadow must be a dragon or something like that." Lu Cheng touched his chin and said.
Li Tiezhu said a little scared: "The little one has never seen a dragon, and that creature just now has never appeared from the mist, so it doesn't really look real, but it must be a powerful creature." That fireball was terrifying. ”
Soon, the two more clever militiamen who were selected returned the same way to inform Lu Nan, and Lu Cheng also led the other militiamen to slowly explore the past in the direction of the previous group of "wild men".
In fact, Lu Cheng knew that it was indeed risky to do so, but he was not a reckless person, he had heard that the strength of the dragon clan was only from other people's mouths, and this time he had to pay attention to the strength of the dragon clan.
It was like a joke that the entire watchtower was blown up with a single blow, and if such power was used against the city wall, it would definitely be easy to deal with the city wall, not to mention the battleship, Lu Cheng estimated that the body of the Egalais-class battleship could not withstand a few such attacks.
Therefore, the biggest threat to them on this island is likely to be the creatures that have not yet leaked their true faces and are suspected to be dragons.
The "Savages" are obviously hostile to the Dragons, and they are both Terrans, so they must be the best allies.
Even if he had a stiff fight with the savages, it was a big deal to hide on the battleship, so that this group of savages who seemed to have a relatively poor level of equipment would not be able to take them, so Lu Cheng felt that it was worth taking such a risk to make direct contact.
