Chapter 131: Lost (Medium)
Although the work of a miner is not very comfortable, especially in the dark underground world, being a miner is very hard. Even if the air in the underground passage is not as dirty as in the real mine, the flying dust still makes it difficult to breathe, but when the priceless pieces of iridium ore are mined, most of the player casters are very happy and even excited.
Unlike the real-life use of Iridium, Iridium in the game is a rare magical metal with a certain ability to emit spells. The value of this metal is equal to that of Mithril, but it is more precious than Mithril. Although the two are almost the same in terms of mana conductivity, Iridium has an additional mana diffusion amplification effect. Using an iridium zuò magic circle, the cast effect can be increased by at least five percent, and when the zuò is made into a staff, it can be increased by at least ten percent.
Of course, no fool would use a staff made of pure iridium, unless he wanted to get radiation sickness, or more accurately, mana radiation sickness. Iridium is a devil's metal before the caster's properties are confirmed, as naturally occurring iridium ore comes with a large amount of magic that will continue to be emitted. This special magic factor has extremely strong magical radiation, not much worse than real-life nuclear radiation. But the effect is even more terrifying, because for ordinary people, this kind of radiation is not instantaneous and fatal at all, but a long-term accumulation that eventually leads to catastrophic consequences.
The earliest iridium mining did not have any regulations, and as a result, a large number of ordinary people were exposed to iridium ore for a long time, and then they went crazy and even had the terrible consequences of magic factorization, that is, magic energy. More than a dozen ordinary miners eventually turned into walking walking corpses driven by magic factors, their bodies absorbing a large amount of magic factors in the air, and finally slowly turned into monsters composed of magic power.
In fact, many people think that this is how the earliest elemental spirits were formed, and of course, this is in the eyes of higher elemental lifeforms. While some elemental beings consider iridium as their mother's bed, this does not mean that they identify themselves as ordinary creatures who were transformed from iridium. At present, the only magical beings born of the Iridium transformation are the twelve elemental golems suppressed by the Spell Capital under the Armageer Tower, and these puppets now act as artificial batteries, providing the magic needed for some spell trials in the three-hundred-meter-high Armager Tower.
For Xu Fei and the others, the iridium ore in their hands was a dangerous and valuable thing, even if the ore had not been refined. The price per 100 kilograms is also more than 10,000 gold coins. If it is refined, about one tael per fifty kilograms of ore can be raised, that is, fifty grams. At the current market price, ten grams of iridium is equal to one hundred grams of pure Mithril, which is equal to one thousand gold coins. The amount of Mithril used in one Mithril coin is about five grams, which means that fifty kilograms of ore is equal to fifty grams of iridium, which is equal to one hundred Mithril coins, which is equal to ten thousand gold coins.
However, there is more than one metal in 50 kilograms of ore, iridium, so it is a fool's behavior to sell ore purely, but it is difficult to refine the metal in the ore by relying on the smelting capacity of the town of Burkner. So sometimes people dig up iridium. If you don't sell the ore, you can only watch the ore pile up there and turn into dangerous waste. A large amount of Iridium ore is an extremely dangerous thing, which can be known from the system prompt that Xu Fei and the others got, and in the system log, the group clearly saw the increase of that spell radiation. It's rarely a term for spellcasters, let alone ordinary players and professionals, but the group is reluctant to try the taste of radiation anyway. Radiation in reality is extremely dangerous. They don't think that the radiation in the game is a good baby. …,
Therefore, after digging up the ore, the group immediately stuffed the ore into their backpack to avoid being harmed by the so-called radiation. So in the end, there is no way to count how much ore has been mined, and what ore other than iridium has been mined. At least Xu Fei himself would not tell anyone that he had dug up a fist-sized piece of blue gold, and Zhao Tiezhu would not tell anyone that he had dug up a rainbow stone the size of a football.
With the exception of the unconscious Chen Kai, all players stuffed their backpacks with ores, and the black-armored cavalry and Drake were also involved in the mining work. Of course, the ore they dug up was to be handed over to Chen Kai, but now it was collected by Xu Fei.
As they continued to dig, the group began to disperse. But in general, they are still interconnected. Because no one wants to get lost in this terrible underground world, basically they are wandering in groups of three or five people in the underground passages, holding lighting crystals, knocking and digging, digging frantically when they find similar ore veins, even if they dig out only stones.
In such a continuous mining process, most players do not have the idea of finding a way in addition to mining stones to make a fortune. In fact, this is like a needle in the bottom of the sea, and the reason why it is almost none, rather than nothing, is because there is still a group of players who have discovered something in the process of dispersal. It's just that these things have nothing to do with leaving the underground passage, because what they find are traces of intelligent life activity or traces of intelligent life activity that were once intelligent life.
"Underground black dwarves!?" Looking at the bones in front of him. Xu Fei immediately identified the other party's identity with the help of the lighting crystal. Relative to cousins on the ground. Underground black dwarves are one of the kinder creatures of the underground. At least they don't eat people, and their tempers are about the same as those cousins on the ground. The only difference is that their complexion is darker, like peat. Ordinary people see that the underground black dwarves will treat each other as monsters because of their skin, and of course, the language barrier is also one of the reasons for this misunderstanding. But as long as you know that people of their clan will not make such mistakes, because the dark dwarves of the Underground are very vindictive like their cousins, and if you hurt them, you will be hunted down for eternity.
"Luckily we didn't kill it! Presumably at the hands of some kind of creature? Well, this is a knife wound?! And it's still a fatal knife, and the strength of the person who started it is very strong! This metal neck guard can be pierced directly with a dagger-like blade and shatter the neck guard! Fei Yun stood aside and examined the corpses of the black dwarves on the ground, each of which had been shot through the neck or heart with a weapon, causing a large amount of blood loss and death, so the ground was stained with the blood of the black dwarves. The most important thing is that the person who kills these dwarves is very strong, or has an extremely sharp and strong weapon, because the black dwarves are also famous for their forging, and even because of the abundance of underground ores, they have better equipment than their cousins on the ground. If it weren't for the food shortage in the underground world, it is estimated that the black dwarves would become an extremely powerful race.
But now, in Fei Yun's eyes, the neck guard of the dead black dwarf made of purple gold was pierced with a knife, and this kind of wound was very rare. You must know that if the neck guard is shattered, Fei Yun thinks that the other party's strength is terrifying. But now it's a piercing, and that's a problem. Smooth cuts can only be made from narrow weapons, and among all of them, only Wang Xuewen's nephew, the little guy named Wang Feihong, can do it. But even if he wanted to pierce two centimeters of purple gold without a trace of roughness in the incision, it would be extremely difficult. …,
It can be said that the guy who killed these black dwarves was definitely an extremely sharp weapon in Fei Yun's opinion, and at the same time very powerful. Because the wounds on all the black dwarves are almost the same size, unless they are all killed with a standard weapon, there is only one possibility, and that is that all of them died at the hands of one person. In this way, it is not a problem to judge the opponent's strength level, and because of this, Fei Yun's face immediately became extremely ugly after looking at the wound, because he found that if he faced the other party, it was estimated that he would lie down in only two seconds.
During Fei Yun's inspection. He found that it had only been less than a minute since the black dwarves had been attacked by the enemy until they died, which meant that the enemy had killed a dozen dwarves in less than a minute, and they were in a dense area of less than ten square meters. Judging from the direction in which the dwarves fell to the ground, they were all killed when they faced the enemy head-on, so that the strength of the people who killed them made Fei Yun fearful.
"Fei Laosi, why is your face so bad?" After Fei Yun finished examining the body, Zhao Tiezhu found that the other party's face was very ugly and felt very strange.
"I don't think we should wade into this troubled water! Why don't we get out of here? Don't let the black dwarves find out! Before Fei Yun finished speaking, the sound of Si Suo Suo came from the surrounding underground passages. This sound is definitely not the sound of footsteps, but the sound of creatures living in the underground world climbing the ground.
"Damn! Hopefully it's not the big guys? Zhao Tiezhu wanted to raise his shield, but the broken ribs made it impossible for him to complete this action quickly.
"Can you run into that kind of earth dragon everywhere you go? Uh, what is it? Blood Haifeng raised his heavy sword and slowly stared in the direction where the voice came from, and under his leadership, all players who could fight drew their weapons, and the injured players immediately retreated into a safe place.
When a huge chelicerae appeared, Xuehaifeng's face began to turn blue, and Zhao Tiezhu's face began to turn pale. Xu Fei had the urge to strangle Zhao Tiezhu, and the others also had the feeling of running behind Zhao Tiezhu and kicking his ass. Because the other party's mouth is too crow. The creature that appeared in front of him was definitely no smaller than the Nibermine Earth Dragon, because this guy was more than seven meters long.
"I'll you! Big scorpion! Zhao Tiezhu looked at the huge scorpion chelicera and was sluggish for a while, the seven-meter-long scorpion was definitely not just big. The underground dinosaur isn't a highly venomous creature, but it's definitely synonymous with horror and gore. As one of the most powerful giants among the underground arthropods, the dinosaur has a huge three-meter-long forelimb, which is two large pincers that can clip through steel.
Of course, if someone who likes to eat scorpions sees it, it is estimated that what comes to mind now is how to fry this big scorpion, or directly grill it to make the taste more unique. But for Xu Fei and the others, the current idea is how to make this big scorpion only eat the corpses on the ground and not trouble them. For any living thing, though. Food that is alive is always more attractive than a corpse that has been dead for most of the day. So when this underground dinosaur saw Xu Fei and them. The big pincers in his hand were directly clamped towards the Blood Sea Peak who was standing at the front.
"Fuck off! Damn it! "Facing the big pincers that came straight towards him, Blood Sea Peak was now simply depressed to death. I knew that the other party ran out of this hole. He would not stand here and wait for this big scorpion, keeping it in the first place when the other party appeared to escape for his life. But now he has no way to escape, so he can only choose to block the opponent's attack with a heavy sword. It's just that as soon as Xuehaifeng swung his weapon, he felt a terrifying impact coming from the heavy sword, and then heard the sound of his hands broken. …,
"Damn it!" At the moment when Blood Sea Peak was flown upside down, Zhao Tiezhu's face was also very ugly. Because he could barely see that he was following in the footsteps of the Blood Sea Peak, but he was not knocked out by the big pincers. Instead, he was knocked away by a scorpion tail needle. Although the tail needle of the dinosaur is not poisonous, it is sharp enough or terrifyingly sharp. If it weren't for the fact that the shield of shelter was strong and strong enough, it would not have been pierced through a small hole now, but would have been shattered directly.
"Ahem!!" Both Zhao Tiezhu and Xuehaifeng fell less than ten meters away from their original positions, and the distance between the two brothers and sisters was only less than two meters, and even the blood they coughed up was almost coughed up towards the same position. However, the two people were injured differently, Xuehaifeng was more miserable, and if there was no accident, it would be the result of withdrawing from the battle, and if he wanted to raise the giant sword with a broken arm, it was almost a dream. Zhao Tiezhu is okay. But the arm is also sore, and there is no way to lift it, but at least there is no fracture, just a few mouthfuls of blood, and there is no problem after brushing a few treatments.
The only problem now is the big scorpion that broke out of the hole and raged, although the huge body turned unfavorably in the small space, but the terrifying power almost made the players fly next to each other and hurt. If you get caught in that pair of pliers, then congratulations on the best ending for you.
"Why are you so unlucky?" Fei Yun was now depressed and wanted to hit his head on the ground. Although they immediately thought of a way to block the big scorpion, that is, to find a way to fix each other's pincers and tail pins. The Temperance Animal's body structure and thick armor make them almost immune to non-penetrating damage, and their special nervous structure allows them to die immediately even if they have some limbs cut off, so the only way to take out this creature is to grind them to death or simply crucify them to the ground with weapons. The former is easy to do, but the casualties will be heavier, and the latter is more troublesome, because they don't know where the heart and brain of this big scorpion are. The most important thing is that there is no weapon that can shoot through the armor of this monster, and even if there is an estimate, there is no way to shoot through the opponent's heart.
"Swarm Cobweb!" He Liwen, who threw out a dozen adhesives, directly wrapped the big scorpion under the thick milky white spider web, although there was also an unlucky player who was stuck under the spider web, but at least he didn't have to be caught in two by the big pincers that were all at hand.
"Throw the oil! Throw in the oil! Bai Shasha shouted loudly at Xu Fei. Her idea was simple, and that was to roast each other with flames. Most arthropods are afraid of heat, and dinosaurs can only kill each other with a short barbecue, and only a long flame can kill their target. In fact, Bai Shasha's idea was more to use fire to scare the opponent away, which was very useful at the beginning of the battle, and it was better not to fight than to suffer heavy casualties.
After a large number of oil cans were smashed on the large scorpion, even a fool knew that standing next to each other was an unfortunate thing to live forever in the flames. Therefore, the unfortunate player who was bound under the cobwebs quickly tore the cobwebs off his body with his weapon, and then crawled out. It's also fortunate that He Liwen and other wizard players in the back didn't release the spider web spell on him, otherwise he would definitely not be able to climb out. It's just that compared to ordinary spider web techniques, the power of this big scorpion is too terrifying. The cobwebs are able to stick to each other for no more than half a second. A large number of cobwebs were directly destroyed by the terrifying power of this big scorpion almost instantly. Splashes of spider silk twisted in the air like noodles.
If it weren't for the fact that there were several wizards who threw spiderwebs at it, it is estimated that this dinosaur would have escaped the cover of spiderwebs by now. He then beckons the giant pincers towards the player's body. Before the fire oil completely covered the pair, Bai Shasha and the other two fire elemental spellcaster players began to prepare spells, and directly greeting each other with a high-level fire blast wave was the only idea of the three of them. As for Bai Shasha's secret technique, the Four Flame Array Flame Blaster was given up by her, and the casting time was too long and the mana consumption was too large.
Almost less than three seconds later, three rapidly forming flame shockwaves directly hit the huge dinosaur. The eighth-order dinosaur squeaked in the aggressiveness of the flame blaster, but the cobwebs on its body were directly burned off, and the burning body was wantonly spreading terrifying power.
"It's damning!" Looking at the huge scorpion that did not flinch because of the flames, but became more terrifying on the contrary, everyone was blinded. This is because the flames will not only damage the large scorpion, but also damage them and other players. The burning flame will not grill the player's body because it is the player who set the fire, on the contrary, the ignited flame will damage the player even more than the big scorpion, at least the thick armor of the scorpion can protect its body from being burned directly for a short time, but the player's mortal fetus is not protected by such armor.
