Chapter 284: Star Iron Valley
In the end, the people chose to use the pack beast in the team as a carrying vehicle to help carry the spirit beast egg.
This spirit beast egg, which I don't know its origin and species, is not small, and its weight is not light at all.
They packed it and put it on the back of the pack beast and let it carry it.
The pack beasts in the team were originally a large spirit beast used to transport noon, and their appearance was like a long-haired yak, with a strong, stocky, and docile personality.
This is a low-level spirit beast like an old scalper, hard-working and resentful, except for the strength of the empty body, rough skin and thick meat, it has no characteristics.
In the following journey, the pack beast carried the spirit beast egg weighing a hundred catties, followed slowly behind the team, and followed the people to the Star Iron Valley.
Along the way, with Lin Yu's guidance, coupled with the sudden decrease in the number of spirit beasts encountered later, the crisis encountered was much smaller, except for a few more troublesome spirit beasts, there was basically no danger.
By the time they finally crossed the rocky beach and arrived at the Star Iron Valley, the sky had already darkened.
At that time, people had already seen a mine located in the middle of the canyon, and there were some guards guarding the entrance.
"How's the guard in the mine?"
When he saw those guards, a thought appeared in Lin Yu's heart.
"Why do you ask this? The mine in Star Iron Valley can be regarded as a core place in Cangyue City, and the number of people stationed in it is not quite a lot, almost the population size of two shelters! ”
"I'm just a little curious, after all, the terrain of this place is relatively unique, and during the blood moon, the spirit beasts riot, it is easy to cause chaos."
"You can rest assured of this! Although this place is remote, it is also a lifeblood of Cangyue City, and the Lord of Forest City attaches great importance to this place. There are about 100 miners working here, and the number of guards is also dozens, plus some of the miners' relatives who live here, all of them add up, almost four or five hundred. ”
There are more than 500 people, which is indeed a lot. However, for such a huge mine, these people still seem to be a bit depressed here.
After entering the Star Iron Valley, the scene that was once accustomed to the outside was completely gone, and in its place was a large chimney full of stones, slag, and billowing smoke.
The sky in this area is gray, and the air is filled with a choking smell.
Lin Yu subconsciously covered his face with a triangular scarf to cover his mouth and nose to avoid the choking smoke and dust in the air.
Their arrival was quickly taken seriously by the mine owner.
The crowd waited at the entrance for a while, and a group of people hurried in, led by an old man with a thin face and a pair of shining eyes.
"Guys, you're supposed to be a collection team from the city, right? The city lord of Lin wrote to me not long ago, saying that you need a batch of star iron ore, it just so happens that we have been stepping up the collection of this batch of ore in the past few days, and now there is already a batch of ore, which is being placed in the preparation warehouse, you have come all the way, and you must be very tired along the way, so it is better to come to me to rest for one night, and wait for tomorrow, we will go to the mine to take a turn. ”
"Thank you for your kindness, brothers, let's go!"
Under the guidance of the director of the mine, Lin Yu and his party finally entered the mine.
Here, in addition to the regular mining and smelting grounds, there is also a place to stay.
"I heard earlier that you might come, so I asked the people below to arrange and clean up a few rooms for you in advance, don't dislike it, tonight, just live here!"
Under the arrangement of this principal, people can finally live here, and they can stay here for one night with peace of mind, and they no longer have to worry about when the spirit beasts outside will suddenly attack them.
"It's not dinner yet, so a few of you have to wait, and we usually wait for the miners to finish work before we start eating. So, please forgive me! ”
"Thank you, it's okay, we came this time, and many places have to worry about the main thing. It just so happens that we have not brought a lot of supplies and daily necessities with us, so please accept them. ”
Song Ce's so-called materials are just some commonly used wound medicines and some forage seeds.
Star Iron Valley is far away from Cangyue City, and if ordinary people don't have a spirit beast by their side, if they want to travel through two places, it will be difficult to reach without ten days and a half moons.
Not to mention, along the way, there are many spirit beasts entrenched, and there are many dangers.
The only supply depot nearby is the Pale Shelter, but now that it's the Blood Moon period, the risk of going out is much greater than usual.
The director of the mine accepted the materials sent by Song Ce with a smile, and after thanking them, he invited the people to stay first.
Although the conditions in the mine are a little worse, the accommodation provided here is still more suitable.
They were a group of more than a dozen people, each of whom was assigned to a room for accommodation, and their luggage could also be placed in the room.
Lin Yu's side was a little shocking because Meng Ling's appearance was too outstanding, and he didn't have the beast ball in hand now, so he could only wronged her in the room first and stayed.
As for the flames, they were beckoned, and temporarily deposited in the pens where the cattle were raised, and lived with the beast of burden.
After that, people were entertained by the director of the mine and went to the place where the people of the mine had their daily activities and meals.
There, there is an open-air area, the ground is paved with gravel, the road surface is smooth and spacious, and the surrounding area is relatively clean.
"Guys from the city, you're going to stay here tonight, it's about time for the workers to get off work, so I'll call the kitchen and prepare some food for a few of you."
After saying this, the chief led his men and walked away.
After he left, Lin Yu came to Song Ce's side and asked.
"Why does this master look weird, he always has a very distant feeling from people, has he been so polite before?"
"Chief Xie is the person with the highest status and full strength here, and he is also the old man who built Cangyue City in the first place. I don't know why he's here. But he's definitely not the kind of person who is on top, and it's okay to be kind! ”
Song Ce replied to him like this, but in Lin Yu's opinion, there was always something hidden behind the polite words of the principal.
At this time, he secretly glanced at the book of the earth, where he was, the topographic map had been constructed, and on the side of the mine, there was a less common red area, which just stretched along the north side of the mine.
He subconsciously looked to the north of the mine, and in the northern sky, there seemed to be a layer of white mist shrouded in miasma.
In the white mist, there was a faint electric light, and the thunder dragons were circulating and flickering among them, and when you listened to them, you could still hear the rumbling thunder in the distance.
Lin Yu remembered that in that direction, it was the place where the Thunder Domain was located, and now, it was shrouded in the closest place to him, within reach.
