Chapter 13 The Wind Dragon Stone Cave

Neal and I spent a lot of time preparing for the long journey, rummaging through boxes and cabinets for everything we could use during the trip, such as a medicine kit, a water bottle, a map, a change of clothes, and blankets. Pen~Fun~ Neil www.biquge.info put different kinds of dragonstones in his bag, including the intermediate water lapser he got at school, but this guy then shoehorned his little toolbox into my bag, and it was very heavy, and there were a lot of iron guys like tool pliers and screwdrivers, according to his words, this toolbox would definitely come in handy in the future, hum, but it hurt me. Forget it, now that my eldest brother is gone, I want to be a good brother who cares about my younger brother, so let's take some hardships and help him, who told me to be older than him!

I went to my room to pack my clothes, changed into a brown cowhide suit, iron shoulder armor on my shoulders, a black leather belt around my waist, and a pair of black boots on my feet. Although this outfit has limited protection, it is lightweight, making it the best choice for long trips. I went to the mirror in the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror, feeling a bit like a warrior. I pulled out a yellow headband from my pocket, which I had taken from the big brother's room, and I solemnly tied it to my head. From now on, I want to be like my big brother and become one of the best powerhouses!

After packing up, I grabbed my steel gun and small wooden round shield, opened the door and walked out. At this time, Neil also came out of his room, and saw that he was wearing a black short-sleeved bodysuit, a long bow in his hand, a pair of black boots on his feet, a gray tricorne, a white feather stuck in the hat, and a whole barrel of bows and arrows on his back, dressed as an archer.

The two of us looked at each other and smiled, and after looking around the small bamboo building (after all, this is a place where we have left many good memories, as for the martial arts hall, let it be closed for the time being), we left a letter on the table, explaining that we were leaving the province to find the eldest brother, please don't worry, and then set off with our luggage.

In order not to attract attention, we walked from the yard into the grove, and then took a detour from the grove to the edge of the Black Forest. Following the border of the Black Forest, we came to the entrance of the main mine cave of the Wind Dragonstone.

The Aetronite Cave in Salem Province is about a hundred years old, and it wasn't long after the discovery that Dragonstone could use magic through a magic guide that was discovered at the foot of this high mountain, and it contained a large amount of raw Aeosaurite ore of various grades. At that time, countless people mined the wind dragon stone in it, but most of them were private mining, digging everywhere indiscriminately, today open a hole here to mine, tomorrow there open a hole to dig and dig, over time, resulting in the mine in the mine The mine road is intertwined and complicated, it is easy to get lost in it, and then the government began to intervene in the mining of the wind dragon stone, which gradually became orderly and efficient, and it has become the largest wind dragon stone mining base in the republic.

"Neil, let's go around the cave and see if there's any mining nearby?"

"Well, let's get away from it and don't let the miners find out. ”

So we quickly bypassed the main mine and trotted all the way from the foot of the mountain, looking for any sub-holes left by private mining in the past. I also saw a few on the way, but it was still too close to the main mine and was passed by us.

After running for about half an hour, we found another sub-mine, which felt quite far from the main mine, and finally decided to go in. This mine is not big, only enough for one person to enter and exit, Neil and I had to walk back and forth, but the more we go inside, the more spacious it becomes, and gradually the two of us can walk side by side, at this time we saw a strange scene that people will never forget: when we first entered the cave, we did not find it because of the sunlight, and now we are getting deeper and deeper, and the original ore of the wind dragon stone inside emits a little green light, like fireflies, and the light spots are large and small, the small ones are as big as sesame seeds, and the big ones are as big as a table. Looking at the roof of the cave, it is like looking at the starry sky that emits green light, and the light emitted by the "stars" of different sizes is also strong and weak, gradually extending to the walls on both sides and even to the ground.

Illuminated by a little green light, we groped our way forward, and after ten minutes of walking, we finally found the main mine. Torches are hung on the walls on both sides of the inside, illuminating the tunnel very brightly. There are also minecart tracks on the ground, which are supposed to be responsible for transporting the raw ore mined by the miners out of the cave. That's when we hear the sound of a minecart coming from far and near, and it's coming from the hole of the cave.

"Hey, Neil, let's hitchhike!" I suggested.

"Well, let's go, Chris. Neil nodded.

The minecart had already driven to us at this time, and the cart was empty, it must have been emptied of the raw ore outside the cave, ready to come and load a new batch of ore, and it should be able to reach the deepest part of the main tunnel.

Neil and I immediately sprang into action, throwing our bags into the empty minecart and jumping on one of our own. At this moment, Neil and I were silent, silently listening to the "click" of the minecart's wheels and rails, which were getting faster and faster, making us feel like we were flying in the green starry sky.

After a while, I felt that the sound of the wheels and rails of the minecart was a little different from what I had heard before, and I couldn't help but look under the car, and I found that the ground was gone, and there was a dark and bottomless abyss underneath...... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but start sweating in my palms. To be emboldened, and to break the frightening silence, I pretended to be calm and asked Neil, "What do you think there's going to be down here?"

Neil didn't answer, shook his head and said he didn't know, and continued to grasp the edge of the minecart with both hands and look down, not knowing what he was thinking. After a few minutes, we finally got back to the ground, and we couldn't help but let out a long breath, it was indeed too hanging.

"The miners are really working with their lives! It's so scary to do this every day, and my heart can't stand it. I thought to myself. After sitting like this for another ten minutes, Neil pulled me and whispered, "Get ready to get off!" I looked ahead and faintly saw several figures, apparently miners working in the pit. We should have reached the deepest part of the mine.

Neil and I quickly grabbed our weapons and luggage and jumped out of the car, hiding in a hollow in the wall. Soon, the sound of the minecart slowly stopping and the miners starting to load the raw ore can be heard. I looked along the wall and saw from a distance that there were still a few members of the security team, and yes, there needs to be someone to guard this mine, otherwise there are really monsters in the tunnel, and the miners' lives will be in danger.

"Forget it, let's go back and see if there are any caves. I turned to Neil. Neil nodded, and turned to walk back with me.

Luckily, I saw a tunnel on the left wall after walking for a short time, it should be a mining hole, it was quite spacious, I walked in side by side with Neil, and I secretly felt happy for today's success.

But when I walked to the back, I began to regret it, the road was rugged and difficult to walk, not to mention, there were often two forks on the left and right, and even three forks in the left, middle and right. God, which stupid miner dug out this road, it's crazy, and now there is no torch lighting, the light from these ores looks quite beautiful at first, and after a long time, it makes people dizzy, so we have to go back and steal a torch on the main tunnel and continue to move forward while making a mark... However, after walking for more than an hour, I still didn't go out, and there were countless forks in the road everywhere, oh my God, this is the rhythm of getting lost, it won't be so unlucky!

"Well, I haven't seen the marks we've made, so I shouldn't have gotten lost, let's walk a little longer!" I said to Neil, comforting him and myself.

Neil didn't speak, but tilted his head and slowly stopped.

"What's wrong? Don't give up, Neil. I said to Neil.

"Shhhhhh

So I stopped and pricked up my ears and sounded, well, it seemed like there was a real sound, it was the sound of people shouting. As an archer, Neil's eyesight and hearing are indeed better than mine, well, just a loss.

"Let's go, let's see. I suggested, and Neil nodded, and together we looked in the direction of the sound. Anyway, I can't find an exit now, so let's see what's going on, maybe this person knows the way out!

The shouts grew louder and louder, and we gradually heard them clearly, it was a cry for help! It should have been the voice of a child, and it was not a single person, there were about three or four! We quickened our pace, turned a corner, and finally found the children who were calling for help, who were now surrounded by a crowd of slimes......
