Chapter 81: Into the Mine
The silver mine of Shining Silver Town is in the belly of Silverclaw Mountain, not far from Shining Silver Town, and if you walk, it will only take about half a standard hour to reach the silver mine area from the gate of the town, and Yenifa They only need less than ten minutes to reach the mining area by running because their physique is far beyond ordinary people.

This silver mine can be said to be the economic lifeblood of the entire Shining Silver Town, it is a rich mine with huge silver content, and every day a large amount of silver ore raw ore is mined from the mining area by the hard-working miners, and continuously sent to the smelter in the center of the town to be refined into silver ingots, and then exported to the mining city to sell, making a lot of money at a time.
But by this time, the treasure of this town had been dilapidated, and only a few days had passed, and the silver mine seemed to have been abandoned for several years, and all the roads leading to the silver mine were covered by dead branches and leaves.
As soon as they approached the silver mine, the temperature in the air dropped significantly, and the closer they got to it, the temperature became colder, and when they reached the entrance of the mine, the temperature was close to freezing, and the surrounding air was scattered with fine Xiaoice crystals, and a thin layer of ice formed on the ground.
"It's so cold, Catherine, how are you feeling?" Yenifa tightened the Platinum Ring Tower uniform on his body, and instantly felt a warm current flow through his body, which was the thermostat function of the apprentice's uniform, which helped Yenifa dispel the cold.
"I'm okay, the uniforms of the academy have thermostatic witchcraft to protect wizards from extreme weather, it's just zero degrees, I'm not a pampered lady!" Catherine hurriedly said that she had no problem after hearing Yenifa's words.
Is he concerned about me? I can't see it, he looks like he is unapproachable, but in fact he is still very warm-hearted!" Catherine thought with a slight joy in her heart.
Yenifa walked in front and slowly stepped into the mine, as soon as he stepped into the mine, he felt different in an instant, the inside of the cave and the outside of the cave were simply two worlds!
The temperature in the cave dropped another level, it was already several degrees below zero, and the ice pick had already condensed on the roof of the cave, and the already uneven ground was covered with a layer of ice, which became rugged and smooth, and it was very difficult to walk.
"Be careful! It's slippery underfoot. Yenifa reminded Catherine of this, then pulled out a small bag of powder from her snakeskin belt, "Fortunately, I have been prepared for this for a long time, this is the 'light dust', which should help us avoid the danger of slipping and falling." ”
The original purpose of the light dust is to sprinkle it on the body, which can make your body as light as a feather, greatly reduce the sound of footsteps, and will not leave footprints, and you will not be injured if you fall from a height, but here Yenifa flexibly uses its function, because the body becomes lighter, so the soles of the feet are less slippery, and it is relatively easier to walk.
The two continued to go deeper, this mine was no longer managed, so all the lanterns and oil lamps were placed here and no one cared about, at this time the lamp oil in the lamp had been exhausted, there was no light source in the mine, and it became dark after walking dozens of meters inside.
A glimmer of light bloomed in Catherine's hand, a candlelight spell that was solidified by the ring she wore on her finger, and a little magic energy could produce a very bright light source that could illuminate a large area.
"Smack!" Yenifa suddenly stretched out his hand and snuffed out the newly born light source.
"Don't candlelight, it's too conspicuous, and now the enemy doesn't know that we've killed the mine, so let's use my night vision potion," Yenifa took out two test tubes that glowed with green fluorescence, "I have long expected to smear the operation in the mine, so the night vision potion tube is enough, drink!"
"Thank you," Catherine took the potion test tube handed over by Yenifah, "I can't see it, you're quite considerate!"
"Thoughtful?" Yenifa didn't hear the slightest hint of coquettishness in Catherine's words, only a little strange.
Shaking his head, Yenifa ran out of his mind and used his mental power to observe and perceive the surroundings, preventing the enemy from suddenly jumping out of the dark corner.
Drinking the night vision potion does not mean that you are not afraid of the dark at all, nor does it mean that people can see everything clearly in a completely dark environment, the night vision potion just makes your eyes more sensitive to light, even if you only have a faint light, you can see things, but you can't do real "dark vision".
Along the way, the two of them quietly walked towards the depths of the mine, due to the effect of light dust, the sound of the two walking in the silent mine was also very small, all the way, there was nothing abnormal, except that the temperature was getting lower and lower, there was no sign of haunting here.
"Further on, you reach the middle of the mine, and that's where the cave starts to fork in the road, so the rest of the exploration can take a lot of time. ”
Yenifa had already memorized the information about the silver mines in Shining Silver Town, and the map of the mine was also deeply memorized in his mind.
"There's nothing here, there are traces of mining everywhere on the surrounding stone walls, and there is not a single trace of ore. As she walked, Catherine stretched out her hand and touched the stone walls around her, stroking over the pitted excavation marks, and said with some disappointment.
"That's for sure, this mine has been mined for a long time, even if it is a rich mine, after such a long time of mining, the minerals on the surface must have been dug clean, and it is estimated that the middle of the mine is also in a similar situation, and then there will be raw ore in the depths. ”
Yenifa knew that Catherine was worried about the silver mother ore she promised her, so she could only speak out first to comfort her, in case this eldest lady was unwilling and did not want to go deep with Yenifa, then he could only face the unknown strong enemy alone, and he would die in it, so he could only draw a big pie to stabilize Catherine first.
Unconsciously, he seems to be constantly changing in the direction of "scumbag". For some reason, such a thought suddenly flashed through Yenifa's mind, but he immediately left it behind.
"Well, what you said makes sense, then let's go deeper, maybe the so-called culprit is just an ordinary low-level demonic creature of the dark or cold system, then we can kill it casually, and then you will help me find the silver mother!" Catherine suddenly approached Yenifa and stretched her face over, "It's agreed, you must help me find the silver mother mine!"
The girl behind her suddenly came up, and brought a pretty face over, which really made Yenifa swallow her saliva slightly, fortunately, he was often like this by Ella before, and Ella often came to Yenifa closely, so Yenifa was more used to it, so he didn't lose his embarrassment.
"Don't worry, we will slaughter the beast that caused all this abnormality first, and then I will accompany you with peace of mind and definitely help you find the silver mother ore. Seeing Catherine's appearance of wanting to help to the end, Yenifa hurriedly said, "You see, this vein is rich in a large amount of silver ore, and such a large silver vein must have a silver mother." ”
"Well, will you stay with me all the time?" asked Catherine suddenly.
"Well, of course, am I the kind of person who doesn't mean words?" Yenifa apparently did not realize the other meaning of Catherine's words, and only replied casually.
Catherine's face couldn't help but blush slightly when she heard Yenifa's promise, and her cheeks were faintly hot, but there was nothing unusual in this dark environment.
Walking through the middle of the mine, it seemed to be a temporary resting place for the miners, where a lot of daily necessities were placed, and even a few temporary bedding rolls, of course, all of which were now covered in frost and frozen into a pile of ice.
Without stopping long, the two continued to go deeper, and after walking for a while, the mine road finally forked in the road.
"Which way?" asked Yenifa as he pointed to the two forks in the road in front of him, toward Catherine.
"You ask me?" Catherine didn't react, "Haven't you been leading the way?"
"A woman's intuition is more accurate!" replied Yenifa with a firm voice.
"That'...... Are you going with me wherever I point?" Catherine asked, after a moment's thought.
"Of course, why would I ask you?" said Yenifa with a look of course.
Catherine couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of joy in her heart when she heard Yenifa say this, she squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then stretched out her slender jade hand and pointed to the mine on her right: "Then go there!"
Yenifa looked at the mine on the right, and it seemed that the cold air coming out of it was slightly thicker on the left, so he nodded: "Okay, then let's go to the right!"
It was still Yenifa who was ahead and Catherine was behind, but unlike before, this time Yenifa was not as easy as he had been in and out of the mines.
Now the muscles of Yenifa are in a state of instant tension at any time, and he can burst out with great power in an instant, and he can deal with sudden enemies.
The magic energy in his body was also slowly mobilized, and as long as there was danger, he could complete the spell casting process as quickly as possible and unleash the witchcraft against the enemy.
The two walked for a while, and at this time, the temperature in the cave had reached dozens of degrees below zero, and the dripping water had turned into ice, even if the college uniform had a constant temperature function, it was a bit unbearable here, after all, it was almost catching up with the temperature of Antarctica, and wearing the uniform also felt a piercing coldness.
Turning a corner, a figure suddenly appeared on the ground in front of me!
Catherine was startled by the figure on the ground, and almost screamed, but after all, she still had her senses, and she was more able to control herself, so she didn't scream, but the protective sword on her waist had been withdrawn, and the magic energy in her body was instantly activated, and she began to build a witchcraft template in her mind.
"Wait a minute, don't get excited! it's just a corpse......" Yenifa sensed Catherine's sudden activation of magical energy, and hurriedly grabbed her hand to stop her spell casting.
