Chapter 36 Treasure Land
It took several people almost an hour to fight the Black Scorpion. In the early stage, Shen Jufeng not only attacked and defended, but also found the weaknesses of the BOSS, which took him nearly half an hour to adapt.
It took quite a while to complete the final task. It was only afternoon now. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but about ten minutes after the black scorpion died, I heard the sounds of other creatures, including the chirping of insects and birds.
"This time we're fighting a mutated BOSS. I don't know if it will refresh again." Lu Jiuman wanted to fight it again.
Shen Jufeng looked at the desolation of Pingjing Mountain and said, "Let's circle around Jinghe District and come back here to take a look before leaving."
Based on the principle that the game boss's residence always has good things, Lu Jiu suggested, "Let's take a good look around Pingjing Mountain and see if there are any ores."
The discovery of ores in the game world all starts from a cave, as if this world knows that they don’t have explosives and large machines and cannot dig through the mountains to find ores by themselves.
"Then let's look for it. This mountain isn't very big anyway."
The three of them decided that if they dug some good ore, they could sell it for a good price in the forging shop and bounty hall.
Pingjing Mountain is a barren mountain. It is not difficult to find a mine because there is really no shelter here. Even so, the three of them still broke branches and knocked as they walked.
They quickly finished walking on the side where they landed and started heading towards the other side of the mountain. Lu Jiu swung branches and knocked the stones beside him, thinking that if there was a cave, he should be able to see it at a glance.
Just as she was about to step on empty air, "Ah--" she fell to the right, and what greeted her was not the solid stone mountain, but the feeling of falling into the air.
She fell into a cave. The cave had a downward slope, but fortunately it was not a very steep slope.
"Lu Jiu, are you okay?" Shen Jufeng shouted at the entrance of the cave, about to come in to save her.
Lu Jiu brushed off the dust on herself. The cave was about two meters high, so she could stand up without any problem. "It's okay. There's just a passage here. There might be something good there. Let's go down and take a look."
Chen Jufeng turned around and shouted to Zhuang Yun, "Come down together, there is a passage here." Zhuang Yun immediately bent down and entered the cave.
The cave was very dark. Lu Jiu took out several torches as if she were making a treasure. She was at the front and the two people behind her didn't see that she was lighting the torches.
"When I came here, I asked the blacksmith to make custom torches for me. I even had the pharmacy manager make this fuel. I'm really extravagant."
Shen Jufeng: ""
Zhuang Yun: ""
Rich woman, whatever you say is right.
It is called a torch, but it is actually made of iron. There is a hole on the top of the torch, and the fire comes out from here. No smoke is produced during the burning process.
The three of them continued to move forward. After walking about twenty meters, they saw minerals of different colors exposed on the mountains on both sides. Lu Jiu and Zhuang Yun couldn't dig, but Shen Jufeng wanted to go to the end of the cave to take a look.
The further they went in, the wider the passage became, until in the end the three of them could walk side by side, and they reached the end of the cave.
Lu Jiu looked at the magnificent scene before him and said, "I suspect this is underground, not inside the mountain."
They kept going down, and this should be the bottom of Pingjing Mountain.
In front of them was a large area of ore exposed to the three people's sight. The ore was of different colors and connected together, shining brightly. The mine was illuminated by these ores, and even the torches could be put away.
"It's so beautiful." Zhuang Yun exclaimed.
These minerals are in no way inferior to the gems on Earth before. The game world is truly magical.
Shen Jufeng took out a short sword and used his mining skills to dig out a piece of ore. "It's good stuff. I'll dig some more and bring it back. I'll go back and seal the cave later."
What he meant was that this was their mine and they didn't want people from Jinghe District to discover it.
Lu Jiu couldn't deny it. "Of course, the mineral resources here are so rich, but I don't know how often they will be refreshed."
She wants to mark this place so that she can invite the mining team to come here when there is a chance.
Zhuang Yun had no objection, but it was a pity that he didn't have a camera, otherwise he would have liked to take a picture of the scene here and show it to his daughter.
Chen Jufeng cannot mine all ores. He is a low-level miner and can only mine low-level ores. In the game world, low-level ores can be used to forge brown iron and ordinary-level equipment.
Lu Jiu said to Zhuang Yun, "Let's go to other places to see if there are any other good things." Zhuang Yun nodded and went his separate ways with her.
The entire mine is filled with ores, so if there is something different, it should be easy to see.
Lu Jiu strolled aimlessly on the gravel, and found nothing but ore. But soon he saw a cave entrance. Could there be other mines?
She walked in and found that the place was full of various gems of excellent quality. My God, what a treasure land this is! In addition to minerals, there are also gems.
Gems can be given to drugstore managers, and pharmacists can extract certain substances from gems to use in making medicines. Of course, they can also be used as decorations.
She turned around and called out to Chen Jufeng, "Chen Jufeng, there's a cave over here, and it's full of gems." Gems are also a type of mineral, and only miners can dig them out.
In just a short while, Shen Jufeng had already dug up hundreds of low-level ores. When he heard that there were gems, he went straight over to take action.
When he came in, he saw gems inlaid in the wall in pieces, without any gaps at all, which showed how abundant the production was.
Then she gave Lu Jiu a look, and Lu Jiu immediately understood and just made an OK gesture. She would definitely mark this place for the mining team to come.
Zhuang Yun also found a cave. When he came in, he saw it was full of jade. This was the first time he had seen jade without the raw stones squeezed together.
However, there was only admiration in his eyes, and no greed. He walked out of the cave to inform Lu Jiu and the others, but unexpectedly, the people were gone when he came out.
"Miss Lu? Mr. Shen!" he shouted. Could it be that she had hit a mechanism and fallen somewhere?
Someone responded soon, the voice a little muffled, "Here." Zhuang Yun followed the voice into the mine where Lu Jiu and the others were.
At this moment, Lu Jiu was watching Shen Jufeng digging for gems. Seeing Zhuang Yun come in, he called him over. "Just now, I noticed that you didn't hear me calling Shen Jufeng. How is it? Did you find anything?"
"Yes, we found a jade mine. There were smooth jades on the walls, just like this gem mine."
The importance of this mine became even more important in Lu Jiu's heart. "This is really a treasure land. I just don't know if anyone has hunted this scorpion before, and whether anyone else has been to the mine."
"Even if he had defeated that BOSS, he wouldn't have thought there were mineral deposits in this barren mountain." Zhuang Yun thought that if it were him, he would have left after defeating the scorpion.
Shen Jufeng spoke now, "That's hard to say. After we dig the required amount, we will stay nearby for a day and observe if anyone else comes here."
He always felt that after three months in the game world, it was impossible that he didn't even know what was happening in the area around him. Someone must have known about the scorpion, but the mineral deposits were uncertain.
"Okay, if someone knows about the mine, then we can dig more while they're gone before we leave." Lu Jiu thought that he had to dig enough to make up for his loss.
If the residents of Jinghe District heard what she said, they would probably be furious. She came to other people's territory to steal monsters and mines.
