Chapter 296: Dark Crystal Mine
What Ji Ran pursued this time was a spike.
Kill the pursuers in seconds to escape into the depths of the forest safely. The Endless Mountains are so big, just find a place to hide, and no one will be able to find them!
That guy in a concealed color, I didn't expect that there would be people staying here and jumping down to raid!
His feet were still trapped in the traps, and the frost around him slowed his reflexes. He struggled to lift his weapon, but it was clear that it was too late......
The broken tide swept across his neck, causing his eyes to widen and he no longer made a sound. Blood gushed out all at once, and his body slowly fell.
After a successful move, Ji Ran didn't stop and rushed directly towards a stealth guy. The guy was also affected by the frost and his degree decreased. Seeing Ji Ran rushing over, he still forced himself to calm down, as if he thought that the other party might not show himself, so he shrunk into a ball, hid next to a big tree, and covered his body with a trunk......
Then, he watched Ji Ran pierce him with a sword. His stealth seems to have no effect in front of the other party, and the other party can see himself completely clearly!
Drawing out the long sword, seeing the corpse falling to the ground, Ji Ran sighed. Then, he began to walk back slowly.
Another stealth tracker who was hiding far away immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ji Ran didn't seem to be showing himself. However, he was not careless, but slowly, without affecting the surrounding environment, slowly retreated backwards.
Suddenly, Ji Ran seemed to inadvertently raise his hand, and a ray of light flew out of his hand. The tracker who was trying to sneak away. Suddenly, the body stiffened.
A throwing knife. Inserted directly from the back of his head. Up to the end stalk. The invisible figure gradually emerged, and then fell to the ground at once.
With a wave of his hand, the flying knife returned to Ji Ran's hand. Shaking off the blood stains on it, Ji Ran took the flying knife back. This time, he was truly relieved.
Looking around, Ji Ran followed the footsteps of Les and the others.
"It's solved, and there's no one following anymore. We must try our best to eliminate the traces of our actions, and we must also change the direction of our actions......" Ji Ran caught up with Les and the others. Start talking about your next plans.
The next plan is actually quite simple. The third team of the Rock Grip appeared, and soon the gold-level powerhouse would catch up, and then there would be a large wave of search activities. If you and the others are still wandering around in the forest, it will be too easy to find.
So, the best option is to find a hidden place to hide. Of course, ordinary hiding places are certainly not enough, they are too easy to be discovered - these places are definitely the focus of the search.
If it is revealed, they are confronted. It will be a gold-level powerhouse, plus a number of mercenary groups...... Such a great power. They are categorically unstoppable.
They can only continue to advance towards the interior of the forest, and cover their tracks along the way...... There must be quite a few people in those mercenary groups who are good at tracking, and although they have killed three, they must have more.
The group cautiously touched the depths of the forest. Fortunately, this place is not close to the territory of those gold-level demonic beasts, otherwise Ji Ran and they would not even have a place to escape.
Whenever you pass by a cliff or something, everyone should carefully observe whether there is a suitable place to hide. But the results were disappointing, and although there were caves and the like, they were not very suitable for long-term hiding. At least if those mercenary groups put their efforts into searching, it would be too easy to be revealed.
As for the fact that the gold-level powerhouse used some kind of spell or spiritual power to search, Ji Ran was not particularly worried. Some of the circles he knows have the ability to block these searches. As long as he found a hiding place, Ji Ran could immediately use the materials in his hand to arrange it...... Although it is more wasteful because it is disposable, at this time, I can't take care of it.
As the day passed, it was getting dark, but everyone still hadn't found a suitable place to hide. There are many campsites, but they are all too easy to be seen! Ji Ran and the others all believed that even if the gold-level powerhouse hadn't rushed over yet, those mercenary groups would definitely not give up the pace of continuing the search...... A good hiding place can save them a lot of trouble!
When he was anxiously looking around, Ji Ran suddenly paused.
"Wait! I seem to have something in sight......" Ji Ran bent down and picked up a black stone from the ground.
The stone looks ordinary, just slightly smoother, and seems to have a little shine on the inside. It was such an ordinary stone, but it surprised Ji Ran.
"This is a piece of black crystal rock, which contains trace amounts of black crystal, which is difficult to refine and basically useless. However, the fact that there is such a stone here proves that there is a black crystal mine not far away! Ji Ran was a little excited, and his breathing was a little short.
"What does that mean?" The others were puzzled by Ji Ran's being so happy, and Anya asked directly. Dark crystal is a relatively high-grade material, which is widely used in the refining of armor, weapons and other items. But now everyone is evading the pursuit, even if the black crystal mine appears?
“…… As you can imagine, you don't know how to mine...... Of course, this is also normal. If it's an old miner, or an adult dwarf here, you'll be pleasantly surprised...... The Black Crystal Mine is a natural refuge! ”
Ji Ran threw away the black crystal rock and turned his head to look around. Then, he quickly locked onto a small valley and walked inside.
"The presence of black crystal on the ground means that the black crystal mine is not far from the ground, and may even be directly exposed to the ground. But so far no one has come to open here, which means that this black crystal mine has not been exposed. The black crystal is born with the effect of absorbing energy fluctuations, and if it is hidden inside, even if a great magician uses spells or spiritual power to search, it can be shielded by the black crystal. As long as the entrance is more hidden, we can open up more pursuit of the gold-level powerhouse! ”
Ji Ran explained as he walked, while the others followed him closely.
"Moreover, the black crystal also has the effect of absorbing exhaust gases and then dissipating oxygen. Other words. Inside the Dark Crystal Mine. We don't have to worry about breathing. It is completely possible to block the entrance. Dark crystal veins generally spread quite far away, and most of them still have considerable voids inside, which is a suitable hiding place. We're lucky, it seems like God is on our side! ”
The more Ji Ran spoke, the more excited he became, and his eyes searched the surroundings like light. Soon, he had his goal in mind.
A small stream is flowing out of a cave. And that crystal clear stream was full of those black stones!
Ji Ran immediately walked a few steps quickly. Come to the cave where the stream flows. The cave is not too big, but it is not small either, and it can be easily accessed by a person bending down. Ji Ran entered the cave, and after walking through the stream for a while, he suddenly stopped, and then tapped the hilt of his sword on the rock on the side.
"This is the weakest place...... Uncle Rice, it's up to you. After listening to the voice quietly, Ji Ran shook his head at Rice.
Uncle Rice nodded, holding the sword in his hand, and pressed it against the rock. Soon. The rock shook on its own, and slowly dissolved. It turned into a puddle of ooze like mud.
This is the power of Rice's greatsword, fossilized as clay. Slowly released, this is probably the effect.
On the other side of the rock, there is indeed a crystal world. Although it was night, those black crystals still glowed faintly.
It felt strange, even though it was a black crystal, the light that came out could still illuminate the surroundings. Although it was very dim, it was enough for everyone to see the situation inside.
"Wow......" Anya exclaimed. She'd seen the Dark Crystals before—although it was of a relatively high grade, it wasn't really rare—but she had obviously never seen so many Dark Crystals gathered at the same time!
Numerous black crystals form clusters of black crystals, which line up far away. And in the middle of the various dark crystal clusters, there is naturally a spacious passage.
The Black Crystal Mine is like that, it's empty. Not to mention hiding the six of them, even if it is sixty or even six hundred, there is no pressure to hide it.
"Get in!" Ji Ran urged the others. One by one, the others slipped through the rock wall and entered the world of dark crystals.
Ji Ran was the last to go in, and before entering, he first collected the rocks that had turned into mud, trying to make sure that there was no trace outside. Then, he also burrowed into the rock wall, then piled the mud inside, and took out a small piece of earth elemental crystals from his magic pocket.
The earth and rocks around the rock wall were quickly assimilated by the earth element crystals, and then they opened up as quickly as plants. Soon, the rock wall was sealed, and it was even thicker than the original.
After solving this qiē, Ji Ran clapped his hands and walked inside.
"We should go deeper, otherwise the noise may be heard from the outside. It's best to find a place surrounded by a dark crystal, so that the effect of shielding energy fluctuations is better. If there are no accidents, we will be safe in a short time. ”
Ji Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and the others were equally relieved. The current situation of the Black Crystal Mine is an accident, but this accident is undoubtedly very beneficial to them.
The interior of the Dark Crystal Mine looks magnificent, though somewhat monotonous due to the dimness of the color. Clusters of crystals towered in all directions, looking like some kind of plant growing...... In fact, these crystals are indeed grown, but the process is more complicated.
At first, the crowd had to bend over, but as the crowd went deeper, the place became more and more open. In the back, let alone standing upright, even if a few people have a discussion here, the space is enough.
"That's pretty much it, it's time to take a break."
When he arrived at a rather empty place, Ji Ran stopped. Most of the area around this place is covered in dark crystal clusters, and the middle area is fairly flat and dry. It's great to camp here for the time being. (To be continued......)
