Chapter 41: Exploring the Cave
"This is where the black stone is?" Li Chen looked at the dark cave, which was about 10 meters high and wide enough to accommodate 20 people walking side by side, and asked Huyan.
"Yes. Hu Yan looked at the cave with a trace of fear on his face, but he still replied seriously.
"It's still dangerous to look at?" Li Chen blinked, looking at this cave with visibility of less than 5 meters, excitement appeared in his eyes.
"Everyone, light the torches, and we'll go in at once. ”
"Yes. "The five warriors who came were all young people, so the feeling of this cave was also more exciting than fearful.
After a while, each of the seven of them took a torch and cautiously entered the cave.
As soon as they entered the cave, a cool feeling instantly hit everyone, and everyone couldn't help but shiver. At this moment, they finally realized that this was not a fun and exciting experience, but an exploration that could be full of life-threatening adventures.
The whole team suddenly became silent, and even the sound of their steps was as soft as possible.
"Cool~"
At this moment, Li Chen shivered in front of him, and his body shook and moaned comfortably.
Everyone was startled by Li Chen's voice and movements, and after reacting, they looked at their patriarch with resentful eyes.
"Ahem~"
Li Chen turned his head and waved his hand to everyone embarrassedly.
"Unexpectedly, the temperature difference is a bit big~"
Everyone: "......"
However, after this incident, the excessive caution in everyone's hearts was also diluted a lot, and the mentality of the warriors returned to their normal cautious state, not even taking steps as cautiously as at the beginning.
Li Chen smiled when he saw this. He took the initiative to make a fool of himself, and that's what he wanted.
Turning back, he took the initiative to act as a vanguard, stretched out his right hand, and a turquoise long sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Holding the Qingling Sword in front of his body, Li Chen once again seriously led everyone to explore this cave.
The crowd walked slowly.
10 meters...
30 meters...
60 meters...
90 meters...
It took nearly half an hour for Li Chen and the others to advance to 100 meters away, and the reason for this, in addition to being very careful, was that they needed time to observe whether there was any black ore around.
"Patriarch, take a look at this?" At this moment, a warrior behind him suddenly whispered, his tone a little excited.
"Huh?"
Li Chen turned around and saw the warrior, then followed his finger and saw a piece of ore not far away.
The ore was about the size of a basin, dark throughout, and the color was clearly different from the ordinary rocks around it, and it was left in a dark corner like garbage, and he had just been so preoccupied with observing whether there was any danger ahead, so that he didn't notice it.
"Is this a black veined stone, patriarch?" the young warrior said as he looked at Li Chen with some excitement.
"I'll see. Li Chen also walked up to the stone with some excitement. He crouched down and reached out to touch it.
A cold, damp touch came for the first time, and at the same time, he also felt a layer of obvious dense rough lines on the stone.
The whole body is dark, and the body surface is wrinkled...
Li Chen's face was happy, and the next moment he directly put this basin-sized ore into the system backpack. This miraculous scene was seen by the warriors behind him, who looked surprised but said nothing.
They had begun to get used to the magic of the patriarch.
Li Chen didn't care about other people's reactions, it was just space equipment, he had already known through the old priest that there was such a thing in this world, so he wasn't afraid to show it to others.
After he finished loading the ore, he couldn't wait to take a look at the system task, and then a happy smile gradually appeared on his face.
......
Collected so far: Black Striped Stone: 1/15 Black Striped Armor: 0/15
......
Sure enough!
Li Chen was very happy in his heart! According to his guess, one unit of black armor mentioned in this task should be able to make one set of black armor, otherwise there would not be a situation where the number of black armor and black armor would be the same.
In other words, he had just taken down a set of black armor, how could he not be happy?
"Good job, this is the black stone, Huyan will remember him!"
He said with a smile to Huyan.
Huyan nodded.
The young warrior scratched his head, a shy and smug smile on his face.
The other four fighters couldn't help but be a little envious when they saw this, but in the next moment, Li Chen spoke again.
"Keep up the good work, everyone, try to find more of this ore, as long as I find it, I will let Huyan remember your credit!"
Although there is not much reward for this kind of thing, that is, to increase the distribution of some food, it is already very satisfied with the people who are just living primitive life now, so everyone's eyes immediately became hot when they heard this, and then they observed the surrounding environment more carefully, hoping to find the black veined stone.
Seeing this, Li Chen nodded, and then continued to advance forward with the Qingling Sword in his hand.
Time passed slowly, and Li Chen and the others went deeper and deeper.
And in the process of going deeper, they gradually discovered more black ore.
"Patriarch, don't you see this!"
"Patriarch, I found a piece too!"
"Look, patriarch, there's something here!"
......
The number of black stones found by the tribe is increasing, and these black stones are large and small, and the large ones are even more than a unit, but there are also small volumes that are no more than the size of slabs and bricks.
However, the sum of these black-streaked stones also made Li Chen's collection progress quickly reach 9/15! There are only 6 units left before the final collection is completed!
"Come on, everyone, we're almost done collecting!"
Li Chen reminded everyone in a low voice not far away.
A warrior more than ten meters away from Li Chen nodded, and then looked around more seriously.
The ore is almost finished, which means that the opportunity to make meritorious contributions is almost gone, so you have to work hard!
His eyes scanned from side to side.
There is no ...
There is no such thing here either...
There is no ...
After observing for most of the day, he didn't see a single piece of ore, which made him a little depressed.
He looked at Li Chen's side, then looked at the front again, gritted his teeth, and walked to the front one step ahead of Li Chen to explore.
No one has collected it before, so there should be black streak, right?
He thought excitedly and nervously.
Glance around.
This doesn't...
This also doesn't ...
This... This is!
The young warrior's gaze suddenly became fiery when he looked at one place, and his breathing couldn't help but become heavy.
Because he saw a large black ore! This black ore was so large that it was three times the size of the first discovery, and he estimated that even if three warriors tried to carry it away, they might not be able to lift it.
Walking quickly to the ore, the young man crouched down and reached out to stroke it, and he was even more sure that this large ore was black stripe, because all the characteristics mentioned by the patriarch matched this ore!
I've done a great job!
The young people couldn't be more excited!
"Patriarch, I ......"
"Squeak!"
A young figure dressed in animal skins suddenly appeared in front of him!
The next moment...
A flash of blue light flashed!
