Chapter 42: The Magic Crystal Vein

Thanks for the 100 starting coin tip.

…………

In a small mountain range in the Venomara Forest, a team of silver armor was slowly marching.

That's right, they're Sulu's group exploring the veins.

Su Lu whispered to the Gold Devouring Beast on his shoulder, "Little one, do you smell the breath of the Demon Crystal Vein?" ”

Although they had entered the mountain range and explored two cave sites, they still did not see any trace of the Demon Crystal Vein, and even the Gold Devourer did not react.

Could he have misremembered the place?

Absolutely impossible, this vein is the most obvious, and Sulu was very impressed with that player's exploration video at the time.

Maybe...... It's not really the point of the vein yet.

Sulu couldn't help but look at the map he had drawn in his hand, two mines had been searched, and the only ones left were the one on the south side of the mountain range, and the three on the west side.

"Well, there's only one mine on the south side......"

Su Lu groaned and said, "Let's search for this first, it's not far away anyway, so as not to come back when you get it." ”

As his voice fell, the team of Silver Lion soldiers quickly headed to the mine on the south side.

After about ten minutes, they arrived at their destination.

The entrance to a four-meter-diameter mine can be clearly seen, surrounded by mossy rocks and moist earth.

As for those dense bushes......

They stopped growing five meters from the entrance to the mine, as if they had been deliberately vacated.

"Squeak!"

At this moment, the Gold Devouring Beast suddenly opened its eyes, as if it were smelling the aroma of food.

"Squeak!"

It raised its head and sniffed, pointing in the direction of the mine, then grabbed Sulu's clothes and called out a few times.

"You smell the Crystal Ore?"

Sulu looked at the gold-devouring beast in surprise and asked in a low voice.

Since it produced this reaction, it meant that this mine was the place he was looking for, the real magic crystal vein.

"Squeak......

The Gold Eater nodded, jumped off Sulu's shoulder, and ran alone towards the entrance to the mine.

"Keep up, follow it all the way!"

Seeing this, Sulu hurriedly followed the little guy's pace.

Hearing Sulu's order, a group of Silver Lion soldiers immediately followed closely in an orderly manner, looking around the surroundings with vigilant eyes.

Luckily, the Gold Eaters weren't moving fast, otherwise it would have been a bit difficult for a large group of them to follow a small guy in this not-so-spacious mine.

The rocky passage was very long, and it took almost twenty minutes to walk without reaching the end.

Moreover, there is often a fork in the road, and it is very easy to get lost.

If it weren't for the Gold Devourer's lead, I'm afraid it would have taken them a long time to find the true location of the vein.

"Is this a crystallization effect? Seemingly...... The purity of this vein is much better than expected. ”

On the way, Sulu would spot crystalline objects from time to time.

They radiate a colorful glow and are so beautiful that they look like jewels.

However, these crystals are not magic crystal ores, but crystals that are associated with a magic crystal vein, and their only function is to make ornaments.

In the eyes of some experienced miners, it has a different meaning.

That is about the purity of the magic crystal vein, as long as this crystal appears in the vein, it means that this vein will be much purer than the ordinary magic crystal vein, and the value will be relatively high.

"A very high purity medium magic crystal vein......"

Thinking of this, Sulu couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement in his heart.

As long as this vein is successfully mined, it is equivalent to a steady stream of soul point growth, can he not be excited.

Just as he was thinking, the picture in front of him suddenly changed dramatically.

The rocky passage, which had not been very spacious until a moment ago, was greeted by a large pit filled with a dark blue light.

How deep is it, exactly?

It's like you're standing in a tower of more than 50 stories and looking down, and when a slight gust of wind blows, you immediately feel your legs go limp.

As for the faint blue glow.

If you didn't guess wrong, it should be from those magic crystal mines underneath.

"Squeak!"

The Gold Eater lay on the edge of the pit, almost drooling.

“……”

Sulu glanced at the little one, then looked to the rest of the pit.

It can be clearly seen that this pit has traces of human excavation.

It is unknown if it is human, but there are traces of civilization, such as ropes hanging in the air, mining cranes, platforms, and a circular road that extends down from a rock wall.

Now these things have been abandoned for a long time, and you can even see a thick layer of dust.

But...... Why would they give up digging?

"Alas...... Let's go down first, little one. ”

With a sigh, Suru picked up the gold-devouring beast on the ground and walked down the passage that surrounded the wall.

In this way, the Silver Lion Soldier led the way, and Sulu and the Silver Priest Partris followed closely behind, slowly walking towards the point of the pit.

"This is the medium magic crystal ore?"

Sulu dug a fist-sized piece of magic crystal ore from the wall, held it in his hand, and muttered softly.

It resembles a blue fluorite, radiating a magnificent light.

This kind of magic crystal ore cannot be used directly, it must be refined and carved with secret patterns...... and many other processes to become a real magic crystal.

Otherwise, it's just a stone, and it can't extract magic at all.

"Master, the magic crystal ore here is very pure, and it has almost reached the level of high-grade magic crystal ore."

Suddenly, Partris, who was beside her, spoke up.

"High-grade magic crystal mine?"

Sulu looked at the silver priest beside him in surprise.

The difference between high-grade magic crystal ore and medium magic crystal ore is not just a one-word difference, but a difference in quality.

"Yes, it is impossible for an average medium magic crystal ore to have such a beautiful purity. But...... This vein is usually inhabited by monsters, so please be careful. ”

"Master, there is a platform in front, but there seem to be traces of inhabitation on it."

At this moment, Clive, who was walking in front, sent back a question.

Traces of human habitation?

Although in the previous game, it was mined by a guild, but I haven't heard of them encountering some aboriginal NPCs, or some monsters or anything.

"Hmm...... Let's let a few people take a look. ”

Sulu groaned, echoing.

For this vein, he is bound to win, even if there is a boss hidden here, he must snatch it from it.

PS: The first shift, there is another shift in the evening.
