At night, the wilderness is the least safe area, whether you're camping or staying in the Iron City.

Eighty percent of everything that scares is in the night.

The 'Kasburg' activated three smelting furnaces and increased its speed to 18 kilometers per hour, and the destination was the surprising direction of the 'Zhenbei Iron Ore Mine'.

Located in the mountains 37 kilometres north of the town of Manbach, the Zhenbei Iron Mine has been mined for more than 160 years, essentially at the same time as the town of Manbach.

Over the years, no one knows how deep the mine has been dug and how wide the interior is, even if the mine manager does not necessarily have a complete map of the inside of the mine.

Strange to say, after more than 160 years of excavation, the ore deposits have not only been hollowed out, but in recent decades, perhaps the depth of excavation has been reached, the production of ore has increased considerably, and twenty years ago, an extremely rare associated ore 'iron 21 crystalline' was discovered.

"City Lord, you're looking for me!"

Bucher pushed open the door and walked in from the outside.

The driving of the 'Iron City' is not only controlled by Li Yinguang, he sets the general route of travel, and can also be assisted by others, so as to achieve the goal of automatic driving.

"Yes!"

Li Yinguang nodded and asked thoughtfully, "Steward Goda said that you have been to the iron mine in the north of the town?" You know a little bit about that, don't you? ”

Buhe said in a deep voice: "I know, I went down to the mine in the early years and worked as a mine maintenance worker. ”

"Let's talk about what kind of structure is inside the Zhenbei Iron Mine!"

After hesitating, Buhe looked up at Li Yinguang: "City Lord, are we really going to the Zhenbei Iron Mine?" ”

Li Yinguang shook his head: "Just to find out, we may not really want to go to the Zhenbei Iron Mine." ”

The reason why I went to the north was to give the lord a face, and I couldn't leave with the 'task' on my face, and when I came out, I went in the opposite direction, which was tantamount to telling others that the 'Castle' was going to run, and where would the face of the lord of Manbach go.

If you go in the direction of 'Zhenbei Iron Mine', you may not have to go to 'Zhenbei Iron Mine'.

Seeing Li Yinguang say this, Buhe just sighed, didn't ask anything, and said: "The tunnel under the Zhenbei Iron Mine is very deep and big. In terms of depth, more than a few kilometers, the lateral width is not at all possible to be counted, and many of the previously abandoned mines lead to where even the old miners working there can't tell where they lead. ”

After a slight pause, he thought about it and continued: "More than ten years ago, the Zhenbei Iron Mine was not as noticeable as it is now, and at that time, there were actually many strange things in the mine, and many people died. ”

"Strange things? What kind of oddities? Li Yinguang asked curiously.

Buhe shook his head and smiled bitterly and said: "It's not good, it's a strange thing anyway, for example, the dead are resurrected, some of the water seeping out of the pit can make people energetic and tireless in their work, but after they come out, they will become a dry corpse, and there are some soft ores, eating them can make people become infinitely powerful, but the temper and character will also be manic, and they will become stone sculptures after seeing the wind, etc., anyway, in the mine, what kind of strange things may be encountered." ”

"You've seen it with your own eyes?" Li Yinguang asked.

Buhe smiled bitterly and nodded: "Some things have been seen, and some things have been told by the workers at that time, but there are many people who died in it, this is an undoubted thing." ”

Li Yinguang nodded, according to Buhe's personality, he would not exaggerate his boasting, and what he said was extremely credible.

"Have accidents like the Gold Eater Plague ever happened in the mine before?"

Buhe nodded: "It has happened, not counting other accidents, in the past twenty years, there have been three known 'gold devouring rat infestations', and each time the workers in the mine have been slaughtered, and few people will escape alive." ”

Li Yinguang was a little puzzled and said: "There have been so many 'gold-devouring rat disasters', how did they solve it?" ”

Buhe smiled bitterly and said, "Wait! ”

"Wait?" Li Yinguang was stunned.

Buhe nodded: "Yes, just wait, wait for the Golden Rat Group to leave by itself." ”

Li Yinguang touched his chin and said with a smile: "Then when the miners go down again, won't the gold devouring rat group still come back?" ”

Buhe nodded first, then shook his head and said: "Yes, I will come back, but I won't come back immediately, the gold devouring rat group will basically come out every few years to slaughter and clean in the mine, but as long as you leave, the mine will be peaceful for a few more years, and there is basically no trace of the gold devouring rat in the mine during this time." ”

"And where have these gold eaters gone?"

Buhe shook his head: "No one knows!" ”

Li Yinguang frowned and fell into deep thought, from the information given by Buhe, he always felt that something was wrong, but Getter couldn't get to the key point.

"Has there ever been a gold-eating rat infestation in the iron ore mine in Zhenbei before? I'm talking about, twenty years ago! ”

Buhe hesitated and shook his head slightly: "When I was working in the mine, I once asked the old miners inside this question, and they all said that it had not happened. ”

Li Yinguang looked at him and said, "In other words, the Zhenbei Iron Mine has been mined for more than a hundred years before, and it has never encountered such a disaster as the 'Gold Devouring Rat', and then it has happened three times in the past twenty years?" ”

Buhe said: "Counting this time, it should be the fourth!" ”

"Why?"

Li Yinguang raised his own question: "What has not happened for more than a hundred years, but it has happened frequently in the past 20 years?" ”

Buhe thought for a moment and smiled bitterly: "I don't know, maybe the mine has been dug to a certain depth, and this depth happens to belong to the territory of the gold devouring rat group." ”

"That's not right!"

Li Yinguang shook his head, got up from his chair, paced back and forth, and said, "There are a lot of people who beg for a living in the iron mine in Zhenbei, right? ”

Bucher said: "There are a lot, and at the peak there will be no fewer miners under the mine than in the town of Manbach!" ”

Even in the slums, the town of Manbach has to pay taxes, and it is necessary to earn money to live, and if there is no financial resources, it will still be evicted.

Zhenbei Iron Mine just solves the problem of 'work'!

Although the danger factor of entering the mine is not low, the risk is still much smaller than going to the wilderness to earn a living, which is why the mine can gather so many people.

The second is that it is large enough, the Zhenbei iron mine has been dug for more than 160 years, at least a few kilometers underground, and the staggered mine holes can be fitted, not to mention tens of thousands of people, even hundreds of thousands of people.

"As far as I know, it's true that the gold-eating rats are social creatures, but if they can slaughter tens of thousands of people in the mines at once, then their group must not be ordinarily large.

They will definitely look for their weaknesses, set up early warnings, carry out protective measures and other measures, but disasters still happen.

Why?

Is the gold devouring rat population too large, or is there another reason, even if there are really millions of gold devouring rats, but tens of thousands of people under the mine can't even get out alive?

In less than 20 years, there have been four rodent infestations, each time killing tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. ”

Speaking of which, Li Yinguang had a little numb scalp, in the past ten years, hundreds of thousands of people have died in the iron mine in Zhenbei, which is a mine, it is simply a man-eating mine.

Buhe listened to Li Yinguang's analysis, and his face was also not too good-looking.

People who enter the pit know that there are many strange things inside, and a group of people will die every few years, but the latecomers will still grit their teeth and step into the mine again to restart the mining work.

The owners of the iron ore mines in Zhenbei still employ a large number of people for the iron ore, because the wealth brought by mining for a few years is more than enough to compensate for the losses.

Workers who enter the pit to dig are lucky and forced to take risks if they want to survive.

"Alright, you go get busy first!"

After Li Yinguang waited for Buhe to leave, he sat back in his chair and thought about it, no matter how he deduced, he felt that the gold-devouring rat plague that occurred in the Zhenbei Iron Mine was not formed by excavating and disturbing the rat colony, but more like ...... Artificial!

Suppose that this huge group of 'gold-eating rats' is artificially raised, and every time the number of miners in the mine reaches a certain level, or the miners dig up some kind of treasure, the owners of these 'gold-eating rat swarms' will drive them out to harvest a wave, according to this inference, it seems to be much more reasonable.

It is true that treasures can be dug in the mines, but if you simply want to rob the ore treasures, there is no need to slaughter all the workers in the mines, right?

If it's not for the items in the mine, but just for the harvest of the workers who enter the mine?

Li Yinguang couldn't help but shudder, if his calculation was really correct, then under the iron mine in the north of the town, maybe there was a demon hidden in the world.

"The generation of cheating fathers!"

He cursed in a low voice, shook his head and cleared those horrific thoughts out of his mind, and no longer considered them on a deeper level.

Li Yinguang has already decided, the right and wrong place in the Zhenbei Iron Mine cannot be gone!

In the main control room of the 'Ancient Castle' Ironclad City, Li Yinguang pressed his palm on the controller of the Ironclad City, and activated the 'Space Radar' detection function provided by the 'Mysterious Gem' sewn in his heart.

His original intention was to see if there were any enemies or beasts around him that would pose a threat to the Iron City.

If not, stop the Iron Armor City first, put out the fire and wait for dawn.

In the dark night, the movement of the Iron City is too loud, and it is good that it does not go deep into the wilderness, and in the depths of the wilderness there is a risk of attracting large predators.

The detection radius of the 'space radar' is 7.5 kilometers, and the diameter is 15 kilometers, and the areas that can threaten the 'Castle' Ironclad City will be marked as a red dot of the same size as the green dot at the location of the Castle Ironclad City, and the larger the red dot on the map, the higher the danger level.

Mobs are marked with orange, non-threatening presence is marked green, and all metal motor vehicles are yellow.

"The discovery of the 'androspar mine', seven kilometers northwest of the country, to detect the reserves of not less than ten tons, mining difficulty: simple. It is recommended to go to digging and mining! ”

The detection prompt fed back by the 'space radar' in his mind made Li Yinguang stunned, he just wanted to detect whether there were any hostile forces around, and wanted to put out the fire of the 'Ancient Castle' ironclad city and get a good night's sleep, but he didn't expect an unexpected gain.

"Realgar ore, is it useful?" Li Yinguang said to himself, although the 'space radar' shows that it is easy to mine, realgar powder is a relatively common alchemy material, and the preciousness is not very high.

The 'Mysterious Gem' sewn in his heart trembled, and prompted: "Realgar ore has absorption value, and it can be refined to refine 'Realgar Insect Repellent Powder', which has a restraining effect on 'Gold Devouring Rats'!" ”

Li Yinguang: "......"

For this 'mysterious gem' sewn in his heart, he just wants to say: easy to use, easy to use, really easy to use!

The location of the 'Xionghuang Mine' is only seven kilometers away from the 'Ancient Castle' Iron Armor City, with a speed of 15 kilometers per hour, and it can be rushed over in half an hour.

Thinking of this, Li Yinguang didn't say a word, and directly controlled the 'Castle' to drive towards the 'Xionghuang Mine' mark.

If there is value, then mine!
