Chapter 192: Emerald Ore
Chen Mian opened the taskbar of the character panel, and the progress of the task of guarding the second stage of the Blue Star had risen a lot, becoming "6.8/10", of which, two were killed by her recently, and three were the credit of the ancient martial arts army of Huaguo.
Next, she doesn't plan to look for the traces of the shapeshifters, the abnormal IP list is at the top, there are not many people left in the Eagle Country, and it is far from her current location, and it does not coincide with her planned route to go directly to the Redwood Country after going all the way south to the Eagle Country.
But happily, while waiting for Ace to fall asleep today, Chen Mian received a message from Xiao Hei, and he found the abandoned mine, although it has been completely excavated, but with this as the center, if you look around, you may be able to find a little useful ore, and even find a legendary undiscovered ore vein.
However, it was already late at night, and Chen Mian had been training for a long time in the morning, and his spirit had been very tired, so he called Xiao Hei back and went back to the attached space to rest.
The next morning, Chen Mian still routinely entered the primary simulation training space to practice casting spells, while Xiao Hei searched for ore veins under Sati, and yesterday it found a few traces of jade in the rock layers around the abandoned gem ore veins, but the size was not large, and the energy contained in it was not enough.
Chen Mian went directly out of the attached space after training, and this time she didn't bring little Gelin, because if she really found out, she would have to use the flashing technique or the teleportation function on Tia's bracelet to reach the underground, and Xiao Gelin couldn't follow.
Although Xiao Hei can shuttle between the soil layer and the inside of the rock, the ore is generally bonded to the rock, and cannot be directly included in its natal spirit realm, so it must be mined after some processing.
"Blackie, how's it going?" As soon as Chen Mian came out of the attached space, he asked.
"Sister Mianmian, you finally came out, I have found three suitable pieces, but some are a little far away from the abandoned mine road, and it is a little troublesome to mine."
Hearing Xiao Hei's excited voice, Chen Mian seemed to see Xiao Hei tilting his head in front of her, wagging his tail violently, begging for praise, "Good job, are you next to the ore now?" ”
"No, I'm still looking for a fourth piece."
"Then you go to the mine closest to the ore and use your claws to sense your location."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Mian felt that the position of Da Hei's collar was moving rapidly, and she also controlled the magic flying carpet and adjusted her position.
After Xiao Hei stopped, Chen Mian found a no-man's land and walked directly above Xiao Hei's location, in an underground parking garage on the edge of the city.
Xiao Hei's position is about a few hundred meters away from her, and with her current level, she casts a flashing technique, and she can enter the spirit realm for 5 minutes after turning into a spirit state, which is enough.
She began to prepare for the flash spell in the blind spot of the parking lot surveillance, and after a few days of practice, the cast time had been compressed to 2 minutes, and there were almost no casting failures.
Chen Mian's body disappeared in the material realm and escaped into the spiritual realm, and the whole person was in a wonderful state of lightness and fluttering, burrowing into the ground.
In the sense, the position of Da Hei's collar was like a guiding light underground, and Chen Mian quickly passed there, and the soil and rocks in the material world were like a layer of illusion, which could not stop her movement at all.
Even though there was enough time, she counted the time silently, and she didn't want to experience the feeling of being suffocated to death while testing spells, outside of the primary simulation training space.
At three minutes and twenty seconds, Chen Mian arrived at the dark mine tunnel, and after returning to the material realm, Chen Mian put on the worm-eye night vision goggles, and only then did he see the appearance of the mine clearly.
Compared to the mine tunnel encountered in the Shard World during the mission, it is no different here except for the discarded wires overhead, and it is a little wet.
As far as the eye could see, Chen Mian didn't see any traces of gems or jadeite, only a deep and secluded cave with no end in sight, and she had no interest in exploring the end of the mine.
Xiao Hei has already investigated, even the exit here has been completely sealed, and the internal air is not circulating, and even Chen Mian has to go back to the attached space every once in a while to breathe.
Chen Mian asked Xiao Hei to go to the edge of the ore closest to the mine to help her locate it, and she used the soft stone technique to turn the rock into clay, and then put it into a layer specially derived from the auxiliary space.
In order to make the hole smaller, she has been using shrinking to make her body smaller.
The spell opens the way, and she doesn't move forward slowly, in fact, she can be a little faster if she uses the elf dust that the quest rewards to be delegated.
But fairy dust is just that, Xiao Gelin can't make this kind of fairy dust now, this is the only item she can cast after shrinking to a very small state, and it is a bit wasteful to use it here.
Although the speed is not slow, the distance of the ore is really a bit far, and the frequency of her spells is so high that she often has to recover her mana, and it takes two hours to get around the ore.
As she goes deeper, she can occasionally find a few pieces of jade that are not of good quality or very small, because she will use her transcendent perception to "see" the rock layer in front of her every once in a while, and occasionally she will not use soft stone magic to melt it away, but collect it, but not many can be seen.
Although these jadeites from Blue Star also have some value in the trading area, Chen Mian can only put them in the storage space and then take them out in other locations of Blue Star, and he can't even bring the things made with them into the world network.
For Chen Mian, the purpose of these jadeites or gems is to make whether the stone is to give it to the forces of the Blue Star, and then help her increase the progress of the task of guarding the Blue Star, and she can't even make the stone, but the beautiful Chen Mian picked up two or three, and planned to bring them back to Luce Island as a souvenir. Chen Mian's mother left her enough money to squander her whole life, so she didn't have much idea about these things that were worth a lot of money outside, she was already a world tennis player, and she was gradually breaking away from the Blue Star social system, and there were very few places to spend money.
Chen Mian doesn't know much about the types of jadeite, and the jadeite of Blue Star is indeed the same as those in the trading hall, containing energy, and she has always relied on the amount of energy to identify the quality of jadeite, but it is true that the purer it is, the higher the energy concentration inside.
At this time, Chen Mian had already "seen" the first piece of jade ore picked out by Xiao Hei through transcendent perception, the color was very mixed, and it was larger than the white jade that Chen Mian had bought in the trading hall before, but the total energy contained was a little less than it, but it was barely enough.
Chen Mian carefully used the soft stone technique to soften the rocks around the jade into clay, and finally harvested the first stone.
As he did, Chen Mian began to dig towards the second stone again, this time at a longer distance, digging until late at night.
At this stage, the most important thing for her is to practice spells, staying up late to mine will affect tomorrow's training time, after all, she still has to have enough sleep, so when it was time to sleep, she went back to the attached space with Xiao Hei.
