Even though they were still a long distance away, Mark and the others could feel the pure and active magical fluctuations emanating from that area.

That is the magical fluctuation that is automatically captured and transformed by the mithril mine into free elements in the air.

"That's it!"

Beta pointed in the direction of the mineral vein, his voice filled with suppressed excitement, "Raw Mithril! Brothers, the opportunity to make a fortune is right in front of you!"

He turned to Mark and said with a hearty smile, "Brother Mark, are you sure you don't want to go mining with us? This is a rare opportunity. People who don't have the qualifications to mine mithril in the kingdom generally don't have the chance to mine mithril!"

Beta's words did not fool Mark. The location of the mithril mine in the Warcraft Mountains was known to almost all adventurers in the small towns near the Warcraft Mountains.

But not many adventurers or miners come here to mine.

One is that this place is close to the central area of ​​the Warcraft Mountains and is relatively dangerous.

The second is that mithril mines are easy to mine, but the method of refining mithril is firmly controlled by the major kingdoms.

No group or individual is allowed to mine and sell mithril without the permission of the kingdom to which they belong.

Once discovered, they will face huge fines and more than ten years of mining labor.

The reserves of mithril mines in the Holy Dragon Continent are not small, but each kingdom only mines a fixed amount of the mines every year.

Only specific organizations within the major kingdoms or famous craftsmen can receive mithril distribution.

For example, the mission accepted by the Beta Adventure Group this time was commissioned by a forging guild that was licensed by the Lily Kingdom.

In addition to the rewards for Beta and his team's ore-collecting mission, the Chamber of Commerce also needs to pay a corresponding mineral tax to the kingdom.

Mark didn't have a way to refine mithril, and he wasn't interested in bending over and digging in the mine.

He decisively rejected Beta's offer and said, "We won't go. I wish you, Captain Beta, a big profit from this mining trip!"

Beta laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Hey! I was thinking so too! The ore required for the mission probably isn't easy to find right now! The mine is right under that shimmering rock in front of us. It's said to be quite risky, so they don't send professional miners to work there. The adventure groups that take on similar missions can only earn a few thousand gold coins at most each year. We'll say goodbye now, and I wish you good luck with your hunting by the lake!"

The reason they can earn so much is because they have two powerful shield warriors in their group. Other two-star adventure groups may not be able to earn so much.

Jimmy also waved enthusiastically: "Mr. Mark, Ms. Monica, Ms. Anna, be safe! When we dig up some good stuff, we'll treat you to drinks when we get back to town!"

Siqi, Jack, and Jerry also nodded in greeting. Only Colin glanced coldly at Mark and the other two, and then couldn't wait to check his bowstring. It was obvious that he was more interested in the mine they were about to enter.

Mark smiled and replied, "I wish Captain Beta and everyone good luck and a fruitful return! We'll be operating nearby. If needed, feel free to contact us using a signal arrow."

The two teams parted ways.

Beta and his team, armed with digging tools and torches, walked quickly and energetically towards the star-studded rock vein, and their figures soon disappeared behind the rugged rocks.

Mark and the other two turned to the lakeside and chose a place with a relatively open view. They planned to choose a silver-gray beach backed by a huge weathered rock as their temporary camp.

The lake is tranquil, reflecting the stars in the sky, a beauty that seems out of this world.

"There's something wrong with the magic field here."

But just after choosing the camping site, Monica took the initiative to come to Mark who was looking at the Falling Star Lake and spoke to him with some caution.

"My sister Monica and I's perception has been greatly affected here." Anna and Monica stood beside Mark. "It seems that the magic power over there is too strong..."

"Really? I don't think it's anything special. Is it always like this here..." Mark looked at the two women with some curiosity. On the contrary, he felt like a fish in water after coming to the Falling Star Lake.

Just like Xiao Mu who had jumped into the lake and playfully used his tentacles to catch fish, he just felt as if he was back home here.

Before he finished speaking, something strange happened!

The reflection of the calm lake clearly showed the raised beach behind the three figures.

Several inconspicuous sand piles suddenly rose up and broke apart silently!

Several pale soft-bodied creatures that resembled giant leeches but were covered with sharp bone spurs shot out like arrows.

They pounced straight at the backs of Mark, Monica, and Anna's necks! Their mouths opened, revealing spirals of bony teeth gleaming with a faint green phosphorescence. They moved so fast that only pale afterimages remained in the eyes of the three!

Bone leech!

And they are not the ordinary bone leeches commonly found in the Rotten Swamp!

They are larger in size, with denser and more ferocious bone spurs, and the faint green light in their mouthparts carries a strong breath of death. They are obviously mutants that have been affected by the special environment of Starfall Lake for a long time!

The deadly sneak attack came without warning, and even the perceptive Monica was slowed down for a moment by the interference of the magical environment!

"Watch your back!" Anna's exclamation came almost at the same time as she raised her bow and shot the arrow.

He is worthy of being one of the output players with the longest adventure time in the team.

He always carries a longbow with him, and he can hit the target with ease by putting an arrow on it.

However, when an ordinary arrow hit the body of a bone leech, the expected situation of the arrow easily piercing the bone leech and nailing it to the sand did not occur!

The bone leech was only deformed in the air like a rag, but Anna's impromptu attack failed to penetrate its body!

After deflecting Anna's arrow, it bounced to the ground and tried to bite Anna's white neck again!

At the moment when Anna was filled with astonishment, Monica's figure turned into a blurry shadow at the critical moment.

He narrowly avoided the bone leech in front of him, but the bone spurs of the bone leech still scraped his shoulder armor, making a harsh friction sound and leaving several clear dents.

She reappeared between the two bone leeches.

With two backhanded daggers, he accurately stabbed into the relatively soft mouthparts of the two leeches.

The power of shadow exploded, crushing its insides, and the fishy dark green juice splashed out.

Mark's reactions and movements were naturally not as fast as the two women's.

So he did not turn around to meet the enemy, but fell forward in an instant. At the same time, his mind raced, and the cross necklace behind him turned into a cross shield to block the oncoming bone leeches.

As a qualified dad, don’t think about output at this time.

Just wait for the two beautiful girls in the team to come and rescue you!

"puff!"

When Mark heard the sound of flesh being pierced from the cross shield, he knew that the bone leech that attacked him had been dealt with by Monica.

However, Monica only solved the immediate crisis.

When Mark activated "Eternal Nightmare Judgment" and "Holy Light Healing", his heart sank!

“What the hell—?”
