Chapter 808: Exploration
Ryan took out a sharp digging hammer from the magic storage bag, and then gently tapped the stone wall at the head of the mine for a while, and finally confirmed that the entire mine was full of stone, so he didn't have to worry about the mine collapsing or something like that, and he could mine and dig with confidence.
Instead of digging in the direction of the mine, Ryan found a random rock wall in the middle of the mine and knocked it on, apparently trying to open a new mine.
"Bang bang!"
Ryan held a hammer in his hand and struck it gently, knocking down a small piece of stone with each blow. The quality of the hammer is very good, it was specially made by him for mining, although it is not specifically used for mining, but now it is very good to beat the stone down. Ryan was very efficient, and at the speed of one breath of beating, he kept pounding, and in a matter of moments, he hit a foot deep. If it were replaced by an ordinary miner, it would definitely not have such a high efficiency, because Ryan attached his fighting spirit to the hammer, and the hammer had such a strong ability.
Half a day later, Ryan knocked on a hole more than a meter deep, two meters wide and two meters high, and it was clear that he was going to open a hole of the same size. Suddenly, Ryan, who was staring intently at the place where the hammer was struck, suddenly saw a touch of blue as he knocked down a stone.
"There it is!" Rui An'an was overjoyed, and then his movements became cautious, and he lightly struck towards the vicinity of the blue stone, and after a few moments, he knocked out a fist-sized blue crystal.
"Why is this nebulite so small?" Rui Anxin couldn't help but feel disappointed, he would definitely be happy if he got such a sized nebulite in the outside world, but now he was in the nebulite mine. It feels very small. Then Ryan calculated, at the current rate. The amount of nebula stones obtained after three days of excavation is definitely not satisfactory to him.
"You can't dig it out so aimlessly, or you'll have to rely on luck. And I've had really bad luck lately. Ryan muttered, then stopped banging on the stone wall for a moment, took the lighting crystal, and carefully observed the stone walls on both sides of the cavern, as if trying to see something strange in it. Unfortunately, Ryan is not a professional miner and has no way of seeing where there is nebula.
Ryan wasn't discouraged, and since he couldn't see it, he would think of other ways to solve the problem. Instead of giving up. He has not been a legalist, and after a moment of meditation, many thoughts come to mind.
"I'm an earth magician, and it stands to reason that I have a strong ability to sense stones, and I may be able to sense the situation inside from the surface of the stone." Soon, Ryan thought of a solution, and immediately put his hand on the stone wall beside him.
"Do you want to use induction?" Ryan tried to sense quietly, and after a while, he didn't feel anything special except that he felt a little more earth-based magic elements in his hand.
"No, it's useless." Ryan quickly got an answer. But he didn't put his hand down, "Why don't you try to put the magic in?" ”
Immediately, Ryan slowly entered a little bit of magic power from his hand, and found that he could. But the resistance encountered was very large, so Ryan couldn't help but increase his magic power, and only then did he break through the resistance. You can enter a little more.
"This magic power is like a stone sinking into the sea, what should we do next?" Mana can be fed into stone walls. But it didn't seem to be of much use for a while, but Ryan quickly had an idea: "Why don't I try sensing at the same time?" I don't sense anything else, I sense my magic. ”
Next, Ryan was very happy to find that since his hand had not been separated from the magic power input into the stone wall, he could sense the condition of the magic power and control the movement of the magic power. He couldn't sense the condition of the stone wall, but he could sense how easy it was for the magic to advance. Immediately, Ryan condensed his magic power into a beam-like stream, entered it from his hand, and explored straight forward until he reached a depth of about three or four meters, only to stop because of too much resistance.
"Hmmm! The magic of this location has not changed, so it should be the same rock layer, with no other matter. Then Ryan moved his right hand slightly to the side, and continued to input the mana like a beam, exploring the condition of the stone inside.
In this way, Ryan kept changing positions and constantly exploring forward, although he was only able to explore an area of about half a foot at a time, but with a few more attempts, he could explore a large area. Although you can only explore a depth of about three or four meters at a time, it is much better than digging blindly. However, he still has a problem, that is, he has not yet explored Nebulastone, so he can't prove whether this method is feasible.
After a while, after Ryan explored more than a dozen times, he suddenly felt a significant change in his magic at the height of his shoulder, and the pressure he encountered suddenly decreased a lot.
"Huh! The place is more than two meters deep, not stone, it should be something else. Ryan was overjoyed, and then took out a large iron hoe from the magic storage bag and slammed it into the position.
It would have taken a lot of time to use a small hammer that could only hit the stone a little bit, but now that you know the location, you can use a large iron hoe to knock out a small passage leading to the target location, so that it is very fast. When he was about to reach the target position, Ryan changed to a small hammer and quickly knocked out a half-foot-wide blue nebulite from the target position.
"Haha! This method works, and now I am much more efficient than others who dig blindly. Looking at the nebula stone in his hand, Ryan couldn't help but laugh.
For most of the next half a day, Ryan continued to explore on the left and right stone walls of this cave, and then in a relatively short period of time, he dug out more than 20 nebula stones, which can be described as a fruitful harvest.
"The nebulite stones on the left and right stone walls of this mine have been dug up. What's next? Or dig deeper into this hole? Ryan thought about it for a moment, and quickly came up with an idea, "It's better to dig deeper into this mine, the deeper you dig, the more nebulite there seems to be." ”
In this thirty or forty-meter-deep mine, Ryan did not find nebulite in the outermost ten meters, but in the innermost ten meters, he dug more than a dozen nebulite, so it can be concluded that as the mine goes deeper, the number of nebulite will definitely become more.
Ryan took out the largest digging tool, exerted a strong fighting spirit and began to dig violently, and from time to time there was a violent explosion. His goal now was to dig as deep as he could, so he would not hesitate to destroy the Nebula Stone in his path. In order to speed things up, Ryan saved even the usual action of moving the gravel out of the mine, he took out an empty magic storage bag, put the knocked gravel into the magic storage bag, and waited for the magic storage bag to be full, and then took it out and threw it outside.
Half a day later, Ryan dug a hole thirty or forty meters long, and at such a speed, if ordinary miners saw it, they would definitely be so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. But as long as you think that Ryan is a level 8 great sword master, and he exerts his fighting spirit to mine the whole time, these stone layers that are as hard as iron in front of ordinary miners are only a little harder than ordinary soil layers for level 8 great sword masters, then all this becomes very normal.
Then Ryan took a break, even took a nap, and when his energy was fully recovered, he explored and excavated the stone walls around the newly opened mine to get more nebula stones.
"By the way, why am I so stupid, I'm just exploring the left and right stone walls, and I can also explore the ground." Ryan then turned around and explored the ground again, digging up a lot of nebula stones. As for the place overhead, due to the relatively high position, it is inconvenient to explore and excavate, and it is a waste of time to do it more than worth the loss.
After doing so, Ryan had a total of sixty or seventy nebulite stones, some of which were dug up in the newly opened mines.
"Now that we're two days away from the gathering, I can dig up more nebula stones." Ryan couldn't help but get excited, and then a new discovery followed, "It seems that there are a little more nebulite stones on the ground, so then I'll dig a new hole diagonally down." ”
Ryan adjusted the direction and dug down diagonally when opening a new mine, of course, the angle of the slope was not very oblique, otherwise it would be difficult to stand and dig. Over the next day, Ryan opened up two new mines, and opened up a length of seventy or eighty meters, because of the oblique downward direction, so the depth was calculated, and it was about twenty meters deep into the ground.
As a result, Ryan got more nebula stones, plus the nebula stones he obtained before, he has obtained more than three hundred nebula stones so far, and it can be said that among all of them this time, it is estimated that Ryan has obtained the most.
If Ryan's trip to the Northern Secret Realm ends here, then he can sell a large number of gold coins with the nebula stone in his hand, so as to become rich. Of course, now Ryan is far from satisfied, for him, foreign objects such as gold coins are secondary things, this expedition to the northern secret realm, in addition to finding out camp. In addition to the cause of Osaidon's death, the most important thing is to improve his own strength.
"There's one more day left for me to keep digging and at least double my harvest." Rui Anxin muttered, but he was not so dizzy, "Now that I have gone deep into the mine, and it is very deep underground, I have to be careful not to encounter any accidents." ”
Immediately, Ryan touched the super-level magic sword on his waist and slowed down the movement of the iron hoe in his hand as much as possible, but after all, something unexpected happened.
"Bang!"
As Ryan moved the hoe in his hand, the stone under the hoe collapsed downwards instead of upswinging as usual. With the sound of falling stones, a small pit more than a foot wide but unfathomable deep suddenly appeared under the iron hoe.
Ryan was taken aback, and in order to guard against accidents, he immediately took a few steps back, staring at this small pit that was logically impossible, and various thoughts came to him. (To be continued.) )
