Chapter 234 236 Mining
Rong Xianxian guessed that there were new types of resources in the black mysterious area that were produced after the great changes in heaven and earth.
At this time, the official had no research or understanding of this type of new resource, and due to a shortage of manpower, they simply marked it and reminded various civilian groups or adventurers to take a detour, but did not take it too seriously.
When Rong Xianxian discovered those minerals in her previous life, she knew that these stones would be very useful in the future. However, she was in a hurry to escape at that time and did not dare to stay.
Before obtaining the Domain Stone, the stock of the sachet space was limited, and Rong Xianxian could only collect some important supplies. After obtaining the foggy space, the situation improved a little, but the storage of spare vehicles alone occupied most of the space. At this moment, Rong Xianxian was still hoping that the foggy space would expand further so that she could collect more daily necessities and the like. Therefore, for the sake of the spirit stone, she had to take a trip to Pingyuan Mountain anyway.
The plain mountain area is mainly hilly terrain with high terrain, gentle slopes, abundant rivers and high vegetation coverage. Although there were heavy rains in the past few days and the water levels in rivers and lakes rose sharply, most of the rain water flowed into the rivers and there was no water on the roads. Except for a few monsters that were not afraid of death and ran out to provoke, Rong Xianxian and his team had a relatively smooth journey.
Rong Xianxian and his group stopped in Pingyuan County. Pingyuan County was not too far from the Taijing Safety Zone. The survivors had already been rescued by various search and rescue teams. At this moment, the streets were quiet and empty.
It was noon and time for lunch. The rice had been steamed in the rice cooker in the RV. Rong Xianxian quickly ate a few bowls of rice with mushroom and meat sauce. After a simple lunch, she said to Cui Lie, "Alie, you guys take care of lunch by yourselves. After lunch, you take them to rest here for a while. I'll go out and explore the situation in the county to see if I can find something useful." Rong Xianxian instructed Cui Lie.
"Sister Rong, don't you want to go with us?" Cui Lie asked with some concern. Although he knew that with Rong Xianxian's skills, it would be safer and more convenient for her to travel alone, he still couldn't help but feel worried.
"It's more convenient for me to collect things by myself. Don't worry, I will be back soon. Use the jade talisman to contact me if you have anything." Rong Xianxian promised the two children to be obedient and left alone.
There might be some useful things in Pingyuan County, but Rong Xianxian’s main target is the spiritual stones in the mines in the black area.
Rong Xianxian covered herself with a hooded white robe, took out a black bead, opened the mechanism, and the flying carpet unfolded and floated in front of Rong Xianxian. That place was still some distance away from the county town, and using a flying carpet could save a lot of time. Rong Xianxian checked the Fu Ling pills in the sachet space and found that the three Fu Ling pills were safely in the bottle, which made her feel at ease.
Rong Xianxian drove the flying carpet to the place in her memory. The treasure was discovered by accident when she was escaping in her previous life. It should have been her opportunity. She could not share the treasure selflessly with others, no one.
The most feared thing when flying on a flying carpet is being attacked. If you fly too close to the ground, you will be attacked by ground monsters. If you fly a little higher, you are afraid of being attacked by flying monsters. Rong Xianxian was so happy when she first knew that the flying carpet had the function of automatic rebound of attacks. But now, because of this function, Rong Xianxian dare not control the flying carpet easily. The amount of spiritual energy consumed by the automatic rebound attack is so huge that it is really hard to accept.
While Rong Xianxian was flying the flying carpet quickly, she was keeping her eyes and ears open to guard against attacks from monsters. Fortunately, Rong Xianxian now had a clear understanding of the boundaries of the flying carpet's defense circle. She could determine where the boundary was just by visual inspection without measuring it. She dodged attacks again and again, and killed several monsters.
Rong Xianxian arrived at her destination very quickly.
Before the end of the world, this was an ordinary hill in the plain mountain range, with some fruit trees and wild flowers growing, covering an area of no more than ten miles in radius, and there was nothing special about it. After the end of the world, it was as if a new plate was suddenly inserted here. A bare mountain suddenly emerged, as if it had grown out of the hill, dividing the hill into two, on both sides.
This mountain has rugged peaks and is majestic, but there is no grass on it, which makes it look a bit weird.
In her previous life, Rong Xianxian had just managed to get rid of Yu Dian, Su Yang and the others, but was chased by a group of mysterious people. Wang Lin had already disappeared at that time. Rong Xianxian fled with her children, and had no choice but to escape into the mountains. She didn't know if she was lucky, but she was safe when she went in. The people who were chasing her were targeted by a group of monsters the size of a rabbit, wearing fish-scale armor, with a wide mouth and sharp teeth. More than a dozen killers were instantly surrounded and annihilated by the monsters, and Rong Xianxian was so scared that she ran away.
Monsters that live in groups are the most difficult to deal with. Whether they are the army ants in the desert, the overwhelming locusts, the swarms of hornets, or the wolves on the grassland, they are all notorious and can make people feel cold in their hearts.
Fortunately, Rong Xianxian had a barrier bead in her hand. She opened the invisibility barrier and entered the mountainous area where the ore was discovered in her previous life.
Most of this mountain area is made of ordinary rocks, and the white, warm mineral area is not large. Fortunately, Rong Xianxian remembers the location of that area, otherwise, she would have nowhere to find it in the vast mountains.
Just as she arrived nearby, she heard a series of "swish" sounds and Rong Xianxian immediately held her breath. A group of black-shelled fish-scale monsters passed by. Fortunately, it should be the invisibility barrier that worked. They crawled past Rong Xianxian and seemed not to have noticed her.
Rong Xianxian found the white and warm ore. The hardness of this ore was not high. Rong Xianxian took out the tools she had prepared long ago and started digging hard. She didn't know if the group monsters that always appeared here had anything to do with these ores. It would be troublesome if she mined the ore for too long and was discovered. Time was urgent, so Rong Xianxian only picked up the ore mixed with spirit stones. She had just mined more than a dozen pieces when she heard a sound like flowing water. Rong Xianxian hurriedly dug a few more pieces, put away the ore, summoned the flying carpet, and flew into the air on the flying carpet.
Rong Xianxian flew into the air and looked down, her hair standing on end. She saw that the area where the ore was had turned black, and was filled with densely packed black-shelled fish-scale monsters all over the mountains.
Where did all this come from? This is the speed of marching of army ants!
Compared with these now, the group of black-shelled fish-scale armored monsters that besieged and annihilated the killers in the previous life was like a three-man team to a million-strong army.
