It would have taken at least three or four days to get from Old Samr's farm to Jingyao Town, but Barrett only took half a day to get here.

The barbarian had a good night's rest in the town to adjust his condition to the best. He easily inquired about the location of the abandoned crystal mine, and the next morning, he went directly to the mission site here.

The location of the abandoned mine is a little further from the town, but for Barrit, it is only a meal away. He heard from the townspeople that the mine was originally a small iron ore mine, and that the miners had an accident while mining iron ore, and a large landslide occurred inside the mine.

Many people died in that landslide, but when the wreckage in the mine was cleaned up, people were pleasantly surprised to find that there was a large natural crystal cave at the site of the collapse!

The cave is filled with giant natural crystals that are more than ten meters long and weigh several tons, or even more than ten tons. According to the townspeople, this is the largest natural crystal cave ever discovered by human beings.

Later, people excavated another slightly smaller crystal cave next to this large cave. With these two large crystals buried in abundance, Crystal Shine has grown from a small gathering place where miners lived for a short time to one of the largest towns near the city-state of Muya.

The giant crystal was mined a hundred years ago, and people dug in the cave for a long time, but did not find the existence of a third crystal cave.

But even so, there are still people who want to try their luck in the mines, even if they pick up one or two small crystals. When Barrett arrived at the abandoned mine, he found five ponies tied to a dead tree outside the mine, and a young man in his twenties was leaning against the trunk with his eyes closed, a dogtail in his mouth, and humming a song boringly.

When the young man was awakened by the sound of the nightmare warhorse's hooves, he suddenly got up from the ground. His expression was slightly flustered, but he could barely hold his composure.

"Hey, that's a good mount. The young man said to Barrett with a smile on the long dagger he wore on his waist in his right hand.

"Thank you. The brute turned over and dismounted, and nodded politely at the other party,

"And, if I'm not mistaken, you still have a construct creature?" the young man looked curiously at the raven on Barrett's shoulder, "Is this expensive? I've wanted a constructor since I was a kid. ”

"I don't know if it's expensive or not, I just sent it when I was doing a mission. Barrett replied casually, and continued towards the entrance of the mine.

"Hey, are you here to try your luck too?" the young man asked, "You've heard about the discovery of a large crystal by the townsman named Bowen?"

"No, I'm here to kill monsters. Barrett paused and looked at the young man, "Crystal Lizard, I need the skin of this thing, and I need a lot. If you have it, you can sell it to me, the price is negotiable, but the skin must be intact!"

"Oh, you're here to find those monsters. The young man's tone was a little more relaxed, "Are they used to make leather armor? Although their leather defense is good, the scales on them are too dazzling in the sun, and they are really a bit ostentatious, I don't like them very much." ”

"It's just a mission. Barrett said, "Do you know where this lizard is in the mines?"

"There are large and small crystal caves, and there may also be those tunnels dug around the caves. As you walk along the track, you can easily see the Great Cave, and the largest passage to the north of the Great Cave leads to the Small Cave. The young man introduced.

He threw the dogtail grass in his hand on the ground and continued, "I heard that when I dug up those giant crystals before, there were no such annoying monsters, and after the crystals were dug up, several monsters appeared in the holes. He frowned, "Those Crystal Lizards are very troublesome, and we usually walk around them. If you can kill, try to kill as many as possible, the more the better, it's good for everyone, hehe. ”

"No problem, I'm actually better at this than at mediating neighborhood conflicts. Barrett responded.

The young man's expression was confused, and he didn't seem to understand the meaning of the barbarian's words, but he still kindly advised, "But you also have to be careful, the eyes of those crystal-scaled lizards can emit a very bright light, and the scales on their bodies will also shine with it." This intense light can plunge you into a brief moment of blindness and coma, and then they will rush up and bite your body. The point is, you don't know when the monster will emit a nasty light, and it's hard to guard against it without the slightest warning. After all, we can't be faster than the light. ”

"Don't worry, I'm prepared before I come. Barrett pulled out a pair of obsidian-ground monocles and placed them on his left eye, "That won't be a big problem." ”

The young man gave a thumbs up convincingly, "You're really well prepared." When I followed our boss to the cave a few months ago, I was blinded by the lizards! Several people were bitten, and Morey was bitten off a large piece of flesh from his calf, and he had to recuperate for a long time before he could move. ”

"You're here looking for crystals?" Barrett asked casually, "Isn't this place already dug up?" ”

"Although it has been dug up, there are still people who can find crystals in the cave one after another, and they are all high-quality crystals with excellent texture. "Many people believe that there will be a third crystal cave, but people haven't dug it before. Morey is a staunch supporter of this view. He's a geologist, he says so himself, anyway. And we are hired by his bodyguards, plus miners. If you want to find mineral deposits, you have to dig around to see if you want to. He smiled.

Barrett nodded in understanding. "Hmm...... Do you need me to bring a message to your companions, if we can meet them. ”

"Not really. The young man shook his head, "Still, if you find that they are in trouble, I hope you can help them." Of course, they will definitely help you too. ”

The brute gave the young man a 'no problem' gesture and stepped into the abandoned mine.

With a glowing stone in his hand, he strolled along the track laid on the ground. The cavern was a little muggy, much hotter than Barrett had imagined, and it was a far cry from the last time he had traveled to the Dark Regions, and more like the journey to the crater to collect lava in the Nameless Dimension.

It was likely that there was a magma chamber in the depths of the mine, Barrett speculated in his mind, but thankfully the people didn't dig through it.
