Chapter 119: Northbound Turmoil: Abandoned Quarry
In Yu Yi's imagination, both the player and the NPC in the game should be desperately mining the Light and Shadow Stone at this time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but the quarry in front of you shows a surprisingly "clean".
"What's going on? Are we late? Mi Wei asked.
Sylon shook his head and denied her speculation: "No matter how small the quarry is, it is impossible to completely mine it in just two days. Although those who only have money in their eyes do have endless energy. With that, he walked forward, "Let's go down and see, there seems to be an underground quarry there." ”
Indeed, there is a hole on the side of the open-air quarry that is sunken downward, and although it is not clear what is written on the stone tablet at the entrance of the cave, it is supposed to be an underground quarry. But even if everyone went into the underground quarry, it shouldn't be so deserted.
As the group walked down, the hood approached Yu Yi and asked, "Don't you think it's been a long time since you've seen a Warcraft?" ”
Being mentioned like this, Yu Yi also reacted, it was indeed a long time since he had seen a trace of a demonic beast. Before coming, Shire Ang told him that the reason why the North Hunter Mountain Range has such a name is because the huge number of demonic beasts in the mountain range continue to train the residents living in this area, and finally refine the "North Hunter" with a small reputation. However, it has been a while since they entered the mountain range, and none of them have encountered a single demonic beast.
At this moment, a sudden shout came from the slope: "Hey! You're new explorers, aren't you? The quarry had recently collapsed and was abandoned. "Keep going north," said the patrolman's leader, pointing deeper into the mountains, "now, everybody's quarrying there!" ”
Hearing what the other party said, everyone was a little relieved, and after thanking them, they walked in the direction they had guided. However, the suspicion of the Warcraft is still in Yixin, he doesn't believe that there are no Warcraft here because of the efforts of the patrol team of about 40 people, and those soldiers are not a grade worse than his soldiers of the First Flame.
However, after walking for a while, he finally felt a little relieved when he saw a hot quarry. The structure of this quarry is the same as the abandoned quarry that everyone has seen before, and there is also an underground quarry next to the open quarry.
The huge open-air quarry is densely packed with stones being chiseled with pickaxes. From time to time, someone would turn out a round, light-colored stone from the broken stone chips, and it would be evident from the careful way they stored the stone, and that was the Light and Shadow Stone.
"These people think quarries are minerals, right?" Lucia, who walked at the end with the earth dragon, couldn't help but exclaim. There weren't many people in the quarry with earth dragons or other means of transport, so she wouldn't be too conspicuous.
"That's nature, after all, all that was recovered in the mission was the Light and Shadow Stones. The other stones are worthless in their eyes, and they don't feel sorry if they waste them. Crewe answered. Ore is ore and stone is stone. Treating a quarry in the way of mining can't help but seem a little rude.
"Come on, there's nothing left for us any later." Yu Yi and the others couldn't help but rush into the quarry to find a mining location.
Looking around, there are already a lot of tents and other camping equipment set up around the quarry, and it is clear that most of the people have been working tirelessly here for two days. However, there are few people with boredom and fatigue written on their faces, and the attraction of gold coins and equipment is really not small.
There is a huge quarry, even if it is a little crowded, but everyone is not worried about finding a place to quarry. Soon, mining began.
Like other people, there is no technical content to speak of, it is purely manual work.
'Obtain a Light Stone (Small)'
"Is this the Light and Shadow Stone?" After the first pickaxe fell, Yu Yi found the pale stone in the stone chips.
Hood exclaimed, "So fast? Then he was relieved, "I almost forgot, it's you." ”
While the two were talking, Mi Wei on the side also felt a light and shadow stone from the stone chips: "Is this difficult?" ”
Suddenly, the rest of the people who had chiseled out a pile of rubble remained silent in a witting manner.
Yu Yi was not in a hurry to continue digging, he played with the ordinary stone in his hand, and said curiously: "Can this thing be used for communication?" ”
"Don't you know that?" Lucia, who was standing by and watching, couldn't help but speak, "The original stone is naturally not good, it has to be processed by magic." ”
Next, nature enters the quarrying process. Since it was already late in the evening, the group had not been digging for long, and the sky became dark.
Those who don't like the underground will insist on lighting by raising bonfires and other methods, and continue to stay in the open field to collect light and shadow stones. Most people choose to enter a cave filled with energy lamps.
Due to his previous encounter with Mi Wei in the Night Cry Mining Area, Yu Yi is now a little resistant to anything like an underground stone cave. So, after discussion, and with no objections from others, the group stayed in the open quarry.
At night, when the temperature in the mountains plummets, a fire is essential. The crowd sat around the fire and ate the dry food they had brought.
"I said, how many light and shadow stones are you going to mine?" Chewing on the jerky, Yu Yi asked a few friends.
"Isn't it? We've just arrived at the quarry, and you're starting to prepare for the return trip? "The first person to speak was the little brother of Mo Fang, whose knife face was reflective. His reaction was also normal, just two hours of mining, even if he was not very lucky, he had dug up more than 40 light and shadow stones. The speed at which money comes from this is many times faster than doing ordinary tasks or something.
"Take it when you see it, I think this is a little abnormal here." Yu Yi said bluntly, "Let's all talk about our opinions, after all, this is a collective action." ”
"Anyway, I've already earned more than a hundred gold coins, and I don't have an opinion on when to leave." Mi Wei, who was initially clamoring for a big fortune, was the first to approve of Yu Yidao at this time, and just now she and Yu Yi were the only ones who mined more than 70 light and shadow stones.
She agreed, of course, because she also smelled something unusual. Besides, the more than 100 gold coins that have already arrived in her hands are not a small amount, and she is not an insatiable person.
Mo Fang also spoke: "This time we are following you, and we are very satisfied to make a profit." Since we want to go, we naturally have no opinion. ”
However, he was not very happy with what he said, and the reflection of the knife in "we" was not very happy, but the president spoke, and he did not speak again. He just silently counted the Light and Shadow Stones in his backpack.
Not to mention the wind hat and the left brave and the right tyrant, they are naturally on the side of their friends.
"Okay, let's get back to the city after dawn tomorrow," Yu Yi turned his head to look at Lucia, "No problem, right?" Eldest sister. ”
The animal trainer was now accustomed to his address, "No problem, but the fare to take you back to the city will have to be calculated separately." ”
"Okay."
In this way, after a few days of driving, the first night of arriving at the quarry was ready to retreat. It was precisely because they were ready to return that after a brief dinner, several players seized the last bit of time to quarry. The heroes who disdain to join the mining are still behind, keeping an eye on their surroundings.
Tossed until late at night, a few people stopped the pickaxe.
Sitting next to the camping tent, Yu Yi was counting the light and shadow stones he had collected. There was a low voice in Sil'an's voice: "Lance, I found that those patrolling guards are not so much patrolling as they are watching the people here. ”
"I felt like they weren't good people for a long time. When you say that now, I feel more and more that there is something strange about the abandoned underground quarry. Yu Yi said. The patrolling soldiers seemed to be showing them the way, but in fact they were more like they were trying to prevent everyone from going to the quarry.
"You won't want to ......"
Yu Yi's curiosity resurfaced: "Yes, I just want to go and see." He lowered his voice, "Be quiet, just the two of us, take a look and come back." ”
Knowing that he couldn't stop the deed, Si'on had no choice but to nod.
At night, the mountain road is surprisingly quiet and unsettling. After evading the patrol, Yu Yi and Xi Ang's master and servant hurried to the abandoned quarry before.
This time, without hindrance, they walked into the underground quarry.
As soon as they entered the cave, the reality was dark as expected, and after Hill lit the torch, the two of them looked deeper into the cave while looking at the situation in the cave.
There is silence in the cave, and if you accidentally kick a stone while walking, the echo caused by it can linger in the cave for a long time. But along the way, everything is extremely normal, is it really just an abandoned underground quarry?
At this moment, a light suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead.
Yu Yi and Hilon glanced at each other in the firelight, and did not speak, but they invariably quickened their pace and walked towards the light. Although the blue revealed in the light is not intense, it is especially noticeable in the hole where the fingers are not visible.
After turning the corner, the two found several huge falling rocks blocking the way, and the blue light was sifting out of the cracks in the stones. Yu Yi put his face in front of the stone crack, looked inward through the stone crack, and saw a scene that made him speechless for a moment.
Sir Ang followed his example, looking in the other crevice in the stone. Again, there was a great deal of shock.
The inside of the boulder is still a long tunnel, but the difference is that this tunnel is covered with kyanite, light and shadow stones, and countless corpses.
Needless to say, the blue light was emitted by kyanite, and it was the first time Yu Yi had seen such a number of kyanite. This kind of precious item can only be found when killing the Beastmaster, but the kyanite in this tunnel is almost paved with a long tunnel. And there are countless light and shadow stones on the side as a foil, if the two are exchanged for equivalent gold coins, the exchanged gold coins will directly crush this stone cave.
Such an assumption is really a bit vulgar, because after a few times of learning skills. Yu Yi has realized that kyanite is something that cannot be measured with money. In addition to the need to consume the soul power in the hedron when learning skills, I am afraid that there are many deeper uses.
But what about those corpses? Those also seem to be the explorers who have come to mine the Light and Shadow Stones!
"What's the shot?" Yu Yi shrugged his shoulders that were patted, "If you have something to say, Hilion, the amount of these kyanites is really amazing." How do you say these people died? Will it ......" His words came to an abrupt halt, habitually turning his head sideways at his hero. When I saw Shir Ang holding a torch, he was a few meters away.
With the quickest instinctive reaction, he drew the sword at his waist, and when he turned around, he saw a familiar face.
"Pastor Friedbard?"
The priest with a white light in his hand was also smiling at him. "These men died at their own hands," the priest continued, following his previous question, "with the eye of a good archer, you should be able to see the smiling expressions on the faces of these corpses, right?" ”
He looked at Hilon and continued, "Greed is not man's fault, it is the original sin that the gods have left to mankind. But they base their desires on the suffering of others, and they deserve to pay for it. The light in his hand flickered on and off, just like the smile on his face.
"Pastor Friedard, why are you here?" Asking about this change, Yu Yi was already slowly moving his steps, trying to widen the distance between the two.
At this time, the priest, who had already changed into a holy white robe, seemed not to hear the other party's question, stepped forward and thought about what the other party had just done, and looked at the tunnel inside through the stone crack with one eye. "Detached from the filthy impurities of those desires, they look much purer now." He said.
And Sylon also asked on the side, "Is this taking the power of the soul of the living and transforming it into kyanite?" ”
"Look at the magic array on the tunnel wall on the ground, and the answer is obvious." The pastor replied.
"This forbidden spell is simply complicit in necromancy, it is forbidden in the whole world."
"What is forbidden is the use of people, and these guys may not be able to get this protection." The priest lifted Lian from the boulder and looked at the two people next to him.
That kind of look, Yu Yi only felt familiar, and in an instant, he remembered where he had seen such a gaze. It's the inhabitants of Stone County! At that time, he couldn't tell what kind of emotion was contained in this gaze, but now with the pastor's words and deeds, he suddenly understood that the emotion revealed in that gaze was called: indifference.
The white light, which has always been recognized as holy, is a little too white at this time, so white that it does not have a trace of emotion, and it is so white that it makes people feel cold.
