Chapter Ninety-Six: Elemental Ore
"Yes, Miss!"
Oz has the trait of being summoned back by Fischl at any time, and may be an elemental creature himself, so he is basically not really in danger.
So in this case, it is only fitting to let it explore the way.
Oz flapped his wings and swept into the dark cavern, his vision in Fischl's eyes.
The uneven walls and ground flashed quickly from the crow's eye, and in less than a minute it was at the end of the cave.
Underneath it, there was a dark depression that was too dark to see, and above it were three small campfires.
It must be lit with a fire to see below.
Fischl, who saw this at the same time, told Li Qiuzhi and Erin about the situation inside.
"Hmph~ The secrets of this place have been revealed, let's set off with this princess!"
Fischl stepped on the ground and walked into the dark cave, one moment the grass was still caressing the black heeled boots, and the next he was leaving shoe prints on the mudstone floor of the cave.
Li Qiuzhi and Erin followed without hesitation.
She would say this, presumably through Oz's vision and finding no danger.
After all, Her Royal Highness's ability to judge the sin is very trustworthy, and it is necessary to understand that her character is a bit "ahead" for Erin.
Except for some people who are naïve enough to believe the truth, or people who are familiar with Fischl, the thinking of ordinary people is inevitably a little difficult to keep up.
Everyone can barely communicate normally, and Oz's role in it cannot be ignored.
The light in the cave was relatively dim, and after walking four or five meters, Li Qiuzhi found that the cave walls were a little wet, and it seemed that the water element was quite abundant.
Judging from the fact that Mondstadt is covered with grass all year round, it is normal to think that there is plenty of groundwater.
As we continued to go deeper into the environment, it became darker and darker, and water stains began to appear on the ground, and shoes made a sticky sound of "zing" when stepped on.
Although there was no wind, Li Qiuzhi also felt that the environment in the cave was a little cooler.
At the top of the cave, no one noticed, a drop of water that had been gathering for a long time touched the snow-white back that the black skirt did not cover even in the dark environment.
Suddenly, a bone-chilling sensation spread from Fischl's spine to every soft skin throughout his body.
"Yikes!"
Suddenly, in the quiet environment, a girl's exclamation sounded, Fischl couldn't help but stop and tremble slightly, and goosebumps immediately rose.
"Ahh What happened to Miss Fischl? ”
Erin, who was visibly nervous in the dark environment, was startled and thought she was in danger.
"No, it's okay..."Fischl wiped the water on her back with her left hand wrapped in a black silk long-sleeved sleeve, and then her gloves were also wet, and she said with a slight sigh, "This princess actually has a day of plotting......
"Uh... The droplets fall silently and are indeed difficult to detect. ”
Erin understood the situation and said with a little relief.
Li Qiuzhi glanced at the top of the cave, on the mountain wall that was a little protruding, after a drop of water dropped, another drop of water began to condense.
When he entered, he saw that the cave in the hill was only two or three meters thick from the grass on its surface, and there were no trees or anything, and it was reasonable that the cave would not have reached this level even if it were wet.
It doesn't lead to some underground river, but when it rains, the water seeps into the ground and eventually accumulates into a pool in a cave, which is a relatively high possibility.
After a while, Li Qiuzhi and the others saw the Night Raven Oz in front of them, and the light here was already dim.
I can barely see the deep depression ahead.
"Guys, there are a few small campfires next to it, and you need to light them up with flames to see ahead!" Oz flew back to Her Royal Highness's side and said remindedly.
Li Qiuzhi nodded slightly, and he did vaguely see three small bonfires arranged in a triangle in front of him.
Since there is a campfire stand, it is likely that someone has already been here before.
It seems nice to have an existing bonfire stand that doesn't need them to get a new one, but if there is a treasure here, it may have been taken by someone who came before.
"Let me light them!" Erin said with great interest.
Her adventure backpack contains two or three boxes of matches that are easy to light a fire, which is just right to use in the wild.
"Well, I'll leave it to you, Miss Irene!" Oz said with a slight nod.
Erin pulled out the match from her backpack and lightly scattered a trace of sparks, and then the match's head burst into flames.
While the match was not extinguished, he hurriedly placed the match on the bonfire stand, and as the fire element came into contact with the firewood on the bonfire stand, it was slowly ignited.
The fire grew bigger and bigger until it became a raging fire.
A bonfire stand was enough to barely illuminate the nearby area, so Li Qiuzhi and the others could see the situation under the depression as well!
At a height of about five or six meters, the bottom of the depression is slightly sloping, and on the high side there are many crystal ores and marcasite.
At the same time, a rock slime with three heads and rock helmets slowly squirmed over there.
On the lower side is a pool of stagnant water that occupies half of the crater, and there are also three water slimes and some kind of aqua blue ore, which looks similar to the magic crystal ore, but it doesn't seem to be ......
"Could it be that this is an ore that contains the element water?" Erin said with an excited expression on her face.
"Miss Erin is right, this is the water elemental ore, and with it, it's no wonder this cave is so wet!"
Night Raven Oz is well-informed, and has seen some of the various elemental ores during his investigation mission with Fischl, so he will not be mistaken.
Hearing Erin and Oz's words, Li Qiuzhi thought of the quenching rocket made by Wagner, which was temporarily discontinued because he had no ore containing the fire element, resulting in him also having no means to cause elemental attacks.
If you bring him some Hydro Ore, can you also make a "Quenching Arrow", which can deal Hydro damage arrows?
Li Qiuzhi's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked forward to it a little and said:
"Erin go and light the other two campfires, and then we'll defeat the slimes and dig up all the ore!"
"Well, no problem!" Erin nodded slightly.
With all the bonfires lit, the space lit up completely.
Fischl's black heeled boots stepped on a mossy stone, and his feet were slightly raised, and the tight-fitting black stockings showed the soft curves of his calves.
She also pointed to the depression in front of her and said:
"Leave them to the princess!"
