Chapter 43: Yellowed Paper

Thank you for the 100 starting coin reward of Gensokyo in the past and present, the 100 starting coin reward of Xiao Xu Xiao Miao, and the 100 starting coin reward of Mo Lu.

PS: I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow!

………………

In a few moments, several Silver Lion soldiers who had gone to the platform to investigate had returned.

"Master, there is no danger in there, but there are still traces of human life."

"Traces of life? Check it out......"

Sulu groaned and walked quickly towards the platform.

Since they've dug up the Magic Crystal ore here, they may have left some information about this vein.

Why did they abandon this vein in the first place?

Soon, Sulu came to the platform built on the cliff.

His gaze kept scanning around, and he saw that various tools, tables and chairs were placed on the platform, such as the Secret Pattern Carving Table and the Ore Refinery, which was simply a small workshop.

"These platforms ......"

Su Lu was shocked, and hurriedly looked down the stairs to the deep pit.

It was found that at intervals, the same platform was built, and they were all equipped with cables and minecarts dedicated to transporting ore.

If they can take advantage of these tools, there will be a significant increase in the efficiency of mining.

It is even possible to directly refine the original magic crystal ore into magic crystals.

Perhaps, this place can be made into a magic crystal ore processing site, and then the processed magic crystal can be transported to Blackstone Town, where magic tools can be crafted or sold.

In a short split second, several plans had already crossed Sulu's mind.

"Hey, this is ......"

Just as Sulu was about to continue his journey, a yellowed piece of paper caught his attention.

The paper lay flat on the table, pressed against a black stone, as if it had been deliberately reserved for those who had come here.

What is it about?

With such doubts, Sulu took the piece of paper in his hand and read the handwriting on it.

The text on the yellowed paper is the common script of the Aenoble continent, so it is easy to understand the meaning of it.

Sulu took a deep breath and read it out slowly:

"One day, the people found a very large vein.

After basic investigation, we found that this vein was very large, even larger than the usual veins, almost making me think it was just a dream.

It didn't take long for everyone to dig this huge vein with excitement.

On the tenth day of entering the vein, it was pouring rain outside, and I always felt an inexplicable sense of unease, as if something was about to happen.

Well, everyone else is comforting me: it's just a delusion!

Let's hope that's the case......

…………

"Why is the handwriting suddenly messed up......"

Reading and reading, suddenly Sulu noticed that the handwriting on it had become extremely messy, and he couldn't see what it meant at all.

Moreover, the handwriting seems to reveal an air of madness.

Continuing to look down, just near the end, the handwriting returned to normal.

"Oh my God, we shouldn't dig up this vein!

Because of everything we do, the gates to hell have been opened...... I felt like I wasn't going to live long, it was dark, it was cold, and I felt endless hunger...... Very hungry ......."

"A gate to hell?"

Seeing such words, Sulu's brows couldn't help but furrow.

Now that I have searched for such a paper, it has proved that there is a monster boss here.

It is for this reason that those people will be willing to give up this vein.

But...... So what kind of monster is that?

If you knew what kind of monster it was, you might have been able to prepare a way to deal with it earlier.

Sulu pondered for a moment and said to the silver priest beside him, "Partris, have you sensed the evil dark aura?" ”

"I'm sorry, master, but we don't feel any breath of life here other than us."

Paltris searched with her mental power, then shook her head and said.

Didn't feel the breath of life?

Could it be that the monster boss has left, or is dead?

If that's the case, it's the best outcome.

Actually, Sulu doesn't have to worry too much.

After all, the guild in the previous life could mine in this place for a long time, so there must be a way to deal with that unknown monster boss.

"Alright, let's move on."

After such a small episode, Sulu led a group of Silver Lion Knights to continue walking towards the bottom of the pit.

But......

No one noticed a strange thing.

Not long after they left, the yellowed paper suddenly burst into a burst of black flames, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into ashes, as if it had never appeared.

Click......

The footsteps of Sulu and his party echoed in this spacious space.

After about an hour, they had already walked three-quarters of the way through the ring, and it only took a little further down for Sulu to reach the bottom of the pit and see the brilliant magic crystal ore.

"Damn...... It's a long road! ”

Sulu sighed helplessly and said.

Now he felt his legs tired, as if they were about to break.

Although there was a cable car on the edge of the platform that led directly to the bottom, he didn't dare to go up and try it.

No one knows how long the equipment has been in place, whether the connection position has deteriorated, and whether the wooden planks have been corroded by time.

If you sit on it, the ropes suddenly break...... The consequences are unimaginable.

“…………”

Looking at the bottomless blue light, Sulu felt his legs go limp.

"Squeak!"

All the way down, the Gold Devouring Beast on his shoulder was always in a state of excitement.

"Squeak......

Suddenly, it seemed to sense something and immediately shrank back on Sulu.

What's going on?

Before Su Lu could react, with a snort, several black shadows rose from the deep pit, with gusts of black wind, and rushed towards Su Lu and his party.

In the face of the sudden attack, the Silver Lion soldiers blocked in front of Sulu as fast as they could, forming a human wall.

"Sacred Fire!"

Seeing that the dark shadows were about to pounce on the silver lion soldiers, Partris's crisp voice suddenly sounded

With a snort, holy flames burst out from its staff, forming a huge curtain of fire that instantly enveloped those black shadows.

In an instant, those black shadows turned into several large fireballs, constantly struggling in the air.

But no matter how much they struggled, the sacred fire was not extinguished, constantly burning and sizzling on them, and even emitted a burst of fleshy fragrance.

"Ahh

Eventually, the shadows screamed and fell down with a hint of flames.

Sulu looked at Partris beside him and asked suspiciously, "What is that?" ”

………………

The second update!
