In a small clearing in the forest, there is a deer that has been dead for a long time, most of its body has rotted, and the rotting meat exudes a disgusting smell, attracting countless diners to come to eat.

For example, right now, there are 8 kobolds around enjoying this "gift" of nature.

Damn, that scene is disgusting.

The kobold, who was bent on eating, didn't notice anything unusual behind him, and at this time, six figures were slowly approaching these guys.

If the stealthy thief is behind the target, as long as it is not attached to the target, it is difficult to detect, so the 6 newcomers stand behind the 6 kobolds in unison.

Three, two, one, kill!

After a gesture, the 6 newcomers instantly burst out, rushed forward in unison, covered the kobold's mouth with his left hand, and stabbed the dagger in his right hand from the kobold's jaw, and then twisted, and the dirty little guy in his hand was killed instantly.

Pulling out their daggers, Sue and Ronald struck the two men standing aside with a lightning kidney on the waists, stunned by the sudden rise in condition.

Backstab! After the kobold was knocked unconscious by the powerful attack, Lillian and Estelle backstabbed the two guys in no more than 6 seconds.

"Kobold, well, there must be a mineral deposit around here." Unmoved by the disgusting smell around him, Karel was carefully rummaging through the kobold's corpse on the ground.

Kobolds are burrowing creatures with dog-like heads, short statures, and mouse-like tails, and usually live in dark, damp underground or dense forests, and can be found in almost any type of climate. Because kobolds love mining. So various minerals can usually be found near the kobold's lair, and of course, the more minerals, the bigger the lair. Many countries use guò kobolds to explore ore veins, but this is not recognized.

"Alright, find this kobold's lair and we'll go back." As soon as Karel's order was announced, the six newcomers burst into cheers, and the five days of eating and sleeping were finally coming to an end, and they couldn't wait to get back to the comfort of the fortress to get some sleep.

Kobolds though usually wear clothes, that is, wrap themselves in rags. But never wear shoes. So their long, pointed toenails leave special marks on the ground, and by following these marks, you can easily find the kobolds' den.

"Alright guys, kobolds are a creative race. They are good at prospecting. Mining. Smelting, and also making some traps and other gadgets, I hope you don't plant yourself on a group of kobolds. That would be too ugly. Karel's words are not alarmist, kobolds are often the first to earn the first pot of gold for adventurers, and they have been at the top of the list of most killed adventurers for 500 years, followed by slimes and skeletons.

This small race is happy to set traps filled with spikes, crossbows, or other mechanical types. There are also usually observation windows and killer chambers near the traps. This way, they can throw oil, shoot weapons, or drop poisonous bugs on the guy who falls into the trap. Careless adventurers often fall into traps when chasing and killing kobolds, and the legend of a hundred years is achieved, which is certainly not a good word.

Following the clutter on the ground, Karel and the others finally succeeded in finding the so-called kobold lair, but it was a little different from what they expected.

"Trolls? Why are there trolls here? Looking at the tall blue-skinned monster walking around in front of him, Su said with some horror.

Trolls are born with a higher starting point than humans, just take these newcomers as an example, pick one out at random, and face this group of trolls, that is, the material that has been knocked over with two punches.

"You stay here, I'll take a look." Karel said a few words before sneaking into the huge camp of trolls and kobolds.

Trolls and kobolds both belong to races with their own civilizations, and if there is a border between the two, then there is only one condition, and the kobolds are subdued by the trolls.

It's uncommon for trolls to conquer kobolds to mine for themselves, but it's not impossible, and kobolds aren't a notoriously tough race.

Without going through the main entrance, Karel walked to the edge of the fence and climbed up three times and entered the troll camp.

This is a huge war camp, countless trolls and kobolds live in it, dense kobolds are doing all kinds of coolies in it, mining, transporting, smelting, and some are even building weapons, but looking at the style of the weapon, it is estimated that it is for kobolds.

"Glow? Damn, these guys are digging this thing. Karel touched the edge of a furnace, picked up a piece of smelted metal, looked at it, and was surprised to see that the group was digging for this rare metal.

Youjin, so to speak, in the words of the game, this thing strengthens the strength of spells, usually used in staffs, spell swords, spell hammers, wands, off-hand items, or the armor of paladins and shamans, which can greatly increase the spell strength of equipment, and can also be made into accessories, which can be worn close to the body to allow non-spellable professions, such as warriors, to cast some low-level spells. It is said that there are also some hidden uses, such as using the Phantom Gold Solution to lay a magic circle when changing classes, which will transform into powerful mutant classes, such as magic swordsman and jungle hunter.

Therefore, the market price of gold is extremely high, 10,000 gold coins per kilogram.

The problem is that the gold is very difficult to refine, and it is often possible to get a little bit of a large amount of ore out, which is time-consuming and laborious, and it is also the culprit for the high price of this thing, but why are there so many here?

Karel quietly took a piece and slashed it open with a dagger, and the inside of the gold was solid, and nothing else was clipped, it was all genuine.

"It's weird." Karel scratched his head, then reached for the smelt chamber.

You can't expect these guys to have advanced smelting technology, so what is in front of Karel is a huge earth furnace.

It is to make a shelf out of the earth, put the ore in it and burn it, stuff the wood from the ground, and under the wood is a heat-resistant container, and the molten metal juice will flow to the lowest level for easy collection.

It's old, but it works well.

In the scorching smelting chamber, Karel braved the heat to see how these guys were smelting the gold.

It just so happened that there were 3 smelting slots in a smelting room, 2 of which had already begun to burn, and a few trolls and kobolds were building a third smelt, and Karel was leaning on the beams of the room, carefully watching what the hell the group was doing.

A few trolls and kobolds first brought a pile of dirt in a small cart, then piled it into a hollow rectangle, put an asbestos zuò heat-resistant net in the middle, and placed the ore on it, but Karel noticed that the ore was not only a kind of gold mine, but also a kind of emerald green stone.

So this is probably the reason why the gold is so productive here, the question is what the hell is this?

After the smelting was completed, the trolls left straight away, leaving a few kobolds to take care of them, and Karel quietly jumped off the beams of the house and quietly touched the kobolds.

They should still have this ore on them.

The kobolds touched them one by one, and sure enough, Karel had stolen three of these emerald stones.

Looking for a hidden place, Karel carefully looked at the stone in his hand, the whole body was emerald green, and it looked very beautiful, but there was always an uncomfortable feeling in his hand.

Suddenly, there was a clattering sound, and Karel touched it, grabbed a simple Geiger counter that he had made before, and it was this thing that kept screaming.

"Radioactivity?" Karel pinched the small green stone, very surprised, this thing is actually uranium ore, uranium ore contains relatively low radioactivity, and is also known as the cursed stone in the continent of Imis, but he didn't expect that it could be used as a catalyst for refining dark gold.

Well, everything you want to know already knows, now it's time to go back, but since you're in the treasure chest, there's no reason to go home empty-handed.

Karel checked the backpack, there were still 28 empty slots, unless there were more than 300 tons of gold here, otherwise it was enough to pack and take away at one time, and it could also give this camp a small "surprise".

Back to the place where I first saw the gold, at this time, a troll was howling something, and at its feet, there were three kobolds who had been torn in half, and it seemed that this guy was angry because of the lack of a piece of gold.

Avoiding the sight of the surrounding troll patrols, Karel came to the gap between the wooden box and the wall, and the dagger in his hand silently cut open the wooden box, and Karel stuffed a large amount of gold ingots into his backpack, and soon emptied the gold in the box. Anyway, the box was nailed up, and it was impossible to tell from the surface that it was empty.

After digging out the metal, Karel pulled out a thermodynamite, which had been made in the fortress's engineering workshop, and never ran out of uses, for example, now.

Attach a timer and pull cord to the thermoexplosive, and fix the wire to the ground, so that if someone moves the box, then it will "boom!" "Gotta get a big surprise, even if you don't move the box, the surprise will come in 30 minutes, you can't escape.

The stockade is very large, Karel sprints and shadow walks alternately, it took 15 minutes to go around the camp, harvest 20 boxes of dark gold ingots, estimated to weigh at least more than 30 tons, and also buried more than 20 explosives, but I don't know if this thing can turn this stockade upside down at once, otherwise it will always be a scourge if it is so close to the fortress.

"Let's go, hurry up!" Running out of the stockade over the wall, five minutes before the first bomb exploded, Karel appeared next to the newcomers, startled them, and then, without explaining at all, urged them to leave quickly.

Confused, a few people had no choice but to follow Karel towards the fortress, and just as someone wanted to ask Karel what he had found in the camp, a series of earth-shattering noises came from the direction behind him! (To be continued......)
