Clearing up the mining area is an Aboriginal business. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Stephen's purpose was to come and replenish his gold reserves, and he spent ten minutes having Taling 1 scan the structure of the second layer of the mine, and from here the number of tunnels and the area of the mine began to increase significantly, because at this time, Dragon City had learned more sophisticated mining techniques from the dwarves. The area of the second layer of the mining area is several times larger than the first layer, and there are more than ten ore roads scattered, but this is not the largest, the area of the third layer is several times larger than here, because the mining area of the third layer is directly mined by the dwarves, and at that time, the relationship between Dragon City and the hill dwarves was good, and the two sides cooperated to explore deeper ore veins.

"Start scanning!"

The cold mechanical voice of Taling 1 sounded in his head.

With a light invisible to the naked eye, a huge three-dimensional structure map gradually took shape in Stephen's mind, and this layer began to extend in all directions, and it was easy to get lost if there was no mark. And from this level onwards, many dark corners breed monsters, the most common being kobolds, who seem to never be able to kill them. The half-dragon nobles enslaved the kobolds for a time, but later they seemed to serve their other masters, rebelled and hid deep underground. There are many passages dug by them in the mining area, and they don't know where they end up.

In addition, there is a species of monitor lizard under the mine, which is poisonous and feeds on rats, kobolds, and miners, and is located in a natural cave to the north.

"Ding! Quartz crystal found!"

"Ding! Silver ore found!"

"Ding! Gem Mine Discovered!"

As Stephen walked back and forth along the second floor of the mine, the results of the Scan of Taling 1 gradually came out.

Because the area of the second-layer pit is very large, the results of the scan are relatively scattered, after all, this place has been mined for a long time, and the ore content found by Stephen is not high. The number of quartz crystals was not small, and Stephen happily took the manuscript to excavate, and it took nearly an hour to dig them all out. Basically, all the ores that can be seen with the naked eye have been mined, and the scans of Taling 1 are all in the depths of the rock, and the amount of silver ore is very scarce, so Stephen just dug up a little and gave up. He owns a silver mine of his own, and the silver ore here is only an associated ore of very low purity.

The only surprise was the gem mine, Stephen found some malachite and spinel, many ores commonly used by alchemists, such as fluorite, fire agate, rhodonite, jadeite, topaz, aventurine, etc.

The most valuable are pure diamonds, precious stones of all colors and jadeite.

There is still a large area of undiscovered iron ore to the north of the second level of the mine, but Stephen's goal is gold, and after making sure there are no other gemstones, he continues to dig deeper.

The entrance from the second floor to the third floor of the mine is a bottomless vertical cavern, which is the vein found after working with the dwarves to continue deep into the ground, all the passages are slopes all the way down, and after nearly an hour of advancing in the dark, even Stephen does not know how deep he has reached underground. He still has a good opinion of the dwarves' ability to burrow, Stephen has seen dwarves dig into the deepest part of the ground more than once, and sometimes even the sealed fire demons are dug out by them.

The sound of water droplets began to be heard all around.

In the deepest part of the dark passage, there were occasionally some strange dog-like barking sounds, and in some places there were signs of landslides, and the air seemed to be much moister.

"Huh?"

Stephen, who was scanning the nearby terrain, suddenly stopped, and he frowned as he walked towards the mine path to the north, as a faint magic aura appeared.

He smelled blood.

Soon, Stephen saw a corpse, the Northlanders, the mercenaries, he had seen, the same group of people who had come with him on the road, and they went directly to the lower level.

"The footsteps were very chaotic, and I retreated to that side. ”

Stephen had learned the art of tracking, looked at the footprints on the ground, and muttered, "Looks like they've encountered a lot of enemies!"

He didn't think of helping out at all.

The fate of mercenaries is to be bloody at the knife's edge, and only those who can survive can become strong.

"Ding! Gold ore found!"

"Located 150m to the south with high content, small veins. Traces of small humanoids were scanned!......

Finally found the gold mine.

Since entering the third layer of the mining area, Stephen has not scanned some useful ores along the way, but they are all some fluorite, quartz, olivine, etc., which are scarce and widely dispersed. This is the first time Taling 1 has scanned a vein of real gold, capable of mining more than hundreds of pounds of gold from even a small vein.

"Small humanoids?"

"Kobold?"

Stephen rubbed his hands together, and immediately felt full of energy, but as soon as he went around this side of the mine, he found a problem, the Taling 1 body calculated the distance in a straight line, and there was no road in front of him at all.

There are two black mine roads on the east and west sides.

If it is to go around, I don't know how far it will go, but this is not difficult for Stephen, he picked up the manuscript and dug straight forward, with the help of the innate ability to change the form of matter, he directly dug out a straight channel to advance. However, the passage that Stephen dug out was too square to be dug out by conventional means, so he had to fill it in again after digging.

"You idiots! Dig ...... up"

"This is a ...... dedicated to the master"

After digging for more than a hundred meters, Stephen heard the obvious sound of water droplets, and then heard a sound that looked like a puppy barking.

This is kobold language.

Generally speaking, only a small number of Argonians in this world can understand it, even wizards don't bother to learn kobold language, Stephen can understand basically all regular languages because of his constant advanced literacy.

There are many footprints on the ground.

These kobolds were still very alert, Stephen was not a wanderer after all, and as soon as he dug through, three kobolds came over with weapons to check.

"Human ...... There is only one ......"

"Catch ...... Slave!...... You can eat ......"

There was a sound of dogs barking, and then I saw dozens of kobolds pouring out of the darkness, led by a large number of kobolds with dark brown scales, this race has a very, very large number of clans, often a small tribe has more than ten clans. With dog-like heads, two small light-colored horns, shiny eyes, and a straight rat-like tail, these creatures are common underground humanoids, multiplying like rats, and are natural miners, often used as slaves by other races.

Some arrows were fired.

Although the shot was crooked and the torsion was also poor, there were still seven or eight hits for Stephen.

As soon as the arrows touched Stephen, it was as if they had crashed into an invisible energy field, and then slid down Stephen's side, an attack of this magnitude that could not break the deflection field shield.

- "Fireball!"

A little flame of brilliance appeared in Stephen's palm, and it was quite troublesome to cut dozens of kobolds one by one, so it was better to solve the problem with a fireball directly.

"Wizard !!......"

"Ah...... Come on!...... It's a terrible wizard......"

A scream rang out, and Stephen's fireball technique had just emerged, and the group of kobolds who had just come up with a large number of people scattered and fled.

Thundered!

A violent explosion was heard, and the next moment it was much clearer.

Not far ahead, a vein of gold that looked like it had been mined by kobolds for some time also came into view.
