One of the reasons why the three vindicators left the tomb was because their current level was too high, and the energy absorbed by killing monsters was gradually decreasing.

The level 33 defender could only get half of the energy at the beginning, and he knew that this was because the energy density stored in the dantian had increased, and the energy was running from high to low, and the higher his position, the less energy he absorbed.

is also a pheasant, when his original dantian capacity was only 100, he gave him 5 points of energy, and now his dantian capacity is 2.8 million, and he can only give him 1 point of energy.

Another reason to leave the tomb is for advanced divine skills.

Their level has reached the requirements of high-level divine power heroes, but the high-level divine power skills that represent the identity of high-level divine power heroes have not yet been settled.

For example, the "Group Healing Technique" at level 33 for Taoists, the "Summoning Divine Beasts" at level 35, the "Half Moon Scimitar" at level 28 for warriors, the "Fire Sword Technique" at level 35, the "Magic Shield" at level 31 for mages, and the "Ice Roar" at level 35, etc.

Although the Woma Temple, which produces advanced skill books, has been blocked by the four major guilds, and the scattered people can't enter it at all, the defenders know that there is also a hidden map called "Corpse King Palace" in the Beechcraft mining area, which also explodes advanced skill books.

Therefore, in addition to upgrading, this trip to the mining area also has to find the hidden "Corpse King Palace".

…… Two days later, the three of them arrived at the entrance of a large village and town, more than 10 times the size of the border village, with a population of about 20,000 people.

It was noon, and the road was bustling with pedestrians. They slowed down and followed the flow of people towards the entrance of the village.

Du Xiaopan saw the four big characters "Beach Mine Village" written on the plaque at the entrance of the village, turned his head to the two men next to him and said, "We have arrived!" This is the West Gate, walk along the main street, and you can see the Beach Mining Area when you go out of the East Gate! ”

The vindicator nodded, not yet speaking. Duan Shaohui patted his rumbling stomach and said funny: "Just wait for this day, I must bring out all the meals for the next few months later!" ”

After speaking, he knocked his legs on the horse's belly, urged his mount, led into the village gate, and turned into the post station on the right.

The three of them returned their horses, went to the counter of the inn, and asked for a map of the mining area.

After reading the twelve maps in his hand, the vindication suddenly looked embarrassed.

Because the internal space of the mining area is unusually vast, and the passages are complex, it is not at all comparable to the half-orc tombs with only three maps, and finding the "Corpse King Palace" here is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

It wasn't that there were no clues at all, he vaguely remembered that the entrance to the "Corpse King's Palace" was hidden in a map called the eastern part of the mining area.

He thought that if he bought a map, he would be able to follow the map, but the twelve maps in his hand were completely encoded in numbers, and he could exclude the first and last maps that were definitely not, and the remaining ten maps, he saw that all of them looked like the eastern part of the mining area.

I glanced up at the stationmaster of the station, who was about forty years old at the counter, with a rich face and a long robe. Knowing that he can hold the position of stationmaster in a village with such a large population, the other party is by no means simple, and his status should be equal to that of the ruling party, Pu Wenxuan, the head of the border village, said gently: "In the lower guardian Taoist, I don't know the stationmaster's surname?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

The stationmaster of the post station had already seen his doubts, and said humbly: "Xiaguan Liu Wei, what do you have to tell Lord Wei?" ”

"I don't dare to take orders, I just want to ask for something."

Then the defender said bluntly: "Are the twelve maps inside the mine always encoded in numbers?" Or is there another name? ”

"Well...... this"

Liu Wei groaned slightly and glanced at everyone.

As if he had been prepared, the defender stretched out his hand and waved, more than ten gold coins appeared on the counter, Liu Wei's reaction was not slow, he raised his hand, and more than a dozen gold coins fell into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "My lord is the right person, if it is replaced by someone else, he must know nothing." ”

The defender's eyes lit up, and he said secretly: It's good to have clues.

Liu Wei, the stationmaster, continued: "Xiaguan served in the Ministry of Rites 10 years ago, and when he was sorting out the books of the Treasury, he accidentally saw the relevant content on a fragment of animal skins, and later Xiaguan personally repaired and copied a copy, so he was very impressed. ”

"According to the animal skin fragments, more than 1,000 years ago, the Protoss first discovered the ore veins here, and then successively summoned tens of millions of young people to mine here, and each pit had an independent name at that time."

The defenders secretly wondered that the space under the mining area was so vast, and it turned out to be a man-made miracle project similar to the "Soldier's Road" and "Canal".

Then he asked, "What about the name?" ”

"It's a pity!"

Liu Wei spread his hands and said with a little regret: "In 1023 BC, there was an inexplicable explosion in the Marfa era, and then not only did the Protoss who sheltered us disappear, but the entire mining area also collapsed in the explosion, and at that time, except for a few people who escaped by chance, almost all the miners were killed. ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "Since then, the mine has been abandoned, and the relevant materials have disappeared in the disaster. It wasn't until 50 years later, when the Holy War integrated the scattered tribes and formed the Kingdom of Hagena, that the village of Beechcraft was established and mining was gradually resumed. I think the remnant of the hide must have been left behind by some lucky survivor a thousand years ago. ”

A look of disappointment flashed in the vantage's eyes, and it seemed that he could only upgrade while slowly searching.

However, he soon felt that it was wrong, according to the other party's statement, could it be that the zombies in the mining area were all transformed by the miners who died thousands of years ago.

But ordinary people's physiques are not strong enough, their qi and blood are not full enough, and the remains after death will quickly decay, and they will not be able to absorb energy at all, let alone transform into zombies that are one level higher than skeletons.

After thinking about it, he asked the doubts in his heart.

Liu Wei pulled a long voice and said slyly: "This is another problem......

It wasn't until he pocketed the gold coins that the defender swung out again that he complimented: "My lord is the strongest divine hero who has ever seen the best knowledge-seeking hero, and his future achievements will definitely be limitless!" ”

"You must know that most of the heroes who came out after the divine punishment did not seek to understand, they only knew how to kill monsters, upgrade, kill monsters, and upgrade again, and they didn't understand the truth that history is the truth. In the long run, how can there be a breakthrough? How can there be an innovative ......"

The defender patiently listened to him say a few words, and seeing that he had an endless tendency, he hurriedly patted the counter, interrupted him, and said in a deep voice: "Tell the point!" ”

Liu Wei also knew that it was far away, and hurriedly changed the topic back, "As the adults just said, the zombies in the mining area are indeed the corpses of the dead miners. They were injected with strange gas by the Corpse King, which is why they became zombies that would be resurrected soon after being killed. As for the corpse king, it also appeared after the mining disaster, and no one knows its true origin. ”

The defender nodded slightly, secretly wondering if this appearance out of thin air, the corpse king with a mysterious origin would have something to do with the "corpse king hall" he was about to make?

But there are too few clues, and any assumptions made now can only be speculation.

After thinking to no avail, the defender, who was unwilling to look for a needle in a haystack, waved out a piece of gold coin again and stared into the other party's eyes, "Last question, has the station chief heard of the eastern part of the mining area?" ”

Liu Wei's expression of smiling and accepting the money was slightly sluggish, and when the defender saw this, he knew that it was completely useless.

Sure enough, at this time, Liu Wei's voice was obviously lacking in confidence: "The eastern part of the mining area ...... What's this...... As the name suggests, it must be going east...... That, Xia Guan still has some things to deal with, and he is out of company. ”

Get up and take a few steps, and disappear at the back door of the inn.

It's so fast!!

……

With a population of around 25,000 people, Beach Mine Village is the largest village in Beach Province, and its main street is as lively as the "West Street" of Beach City.

Due to the proximity to the mines, the mining and smelting industries are very developed, and almost all the ore mined in the mining area is coarsely smelted into various metal ingots here, and then loaded into trucks and transported to various places.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the largest primary wholesale market for metals in the Kingdom of Hagena.

They walked down the main street, lined with open storefronts, with display cases filled with dazzling goods and beautiful handicrafts, and a steady stream of merchants and a thriving business.

The three of them looked around with interest, Du Xiaopan bought some candied fruits, pastries and snacks, and Wei and Duan also had their own gains.

Finally, they turned into a two-story restaurant in the middle of the street, chose a place by the window on the second floor, ordered a large jar of fine wine, and the large plate of dishes began to sweep.

The meal lasted for a full hour, and it was not until the time of the undeclared turn that the three of them left the restaurant and went out of the east gate to the mining area.

The Beachy Mine is located in the eastern mountains of the province of Beach, and the entrance is at the foot of the mountains.

This place is different from the Danxia landform of the ancient tomb of the half-orcs in the west, and from a distance, the entire mountain range is decorated with scattered green plants on the high places, and the rest of the place is a gray-brown bare rock, giving people a feeling of depression and depth.

However, the entrance to the mine is crowded with people, and it is a busy scene.

From time to time, a rail car full of ore was pulled out of the mine by livestock, and then a dozen men with calluses and feet and coarse linen clothes swarmed up, shouting the number to carry the ore to a larger truck, and then they received the counting number plate in the hand of a person in charge next to them, and walked to the side in groups to rest, and the next car was topped by another group of porters, and so on, and when the large truck was full, it was transported back to the village and town.

The three vindicators arrived at the mine and passed the porters into the mine.
