"Why are the number of Kobold Miners refreshed on the second floor reduced by half this time? How many have rushed up?"

"There are only about ten in total, which is indeed half as many as before. Usually there are more than twenty..."

"It's not good to have fewer. The more we have, the harder it will be. We are not here to kill monsters, and we can't level up. We have to finish the killing quickly and continue mining. I'm really unlucky today. I haven't dug out a single ore with a purity above 10 yet!"

After complaining for a while, this group of people didn't take it seriously. After all, the refreshing of monsters in the secret realm was beyond their control.

In the sloped passage, Xu Feng felt as if he had entered a sticky space. The spiritual energy in the wall-penetrating talisman was consumed more slowly if he stood still, but as soon as his body started moving, the speed at which the spiritual energy in the wall-penetrating talisman was consumed suddenly increased.

If you are not careful, it is easy to fail to leave the rock wall before the spiritual power of the wall-penetrating talisman is exhausted. At that time, you will be stuck in the rock wall just like the legend says.

Xu Feng waited in the rock wall until the spiritual power of the wall-penetrating talisman was almost exhausted, then he jumped out and passed through the rock wall again. He took the wall-penetrating talisman that had consumed its spiritual power off his body and threw it away. The paper talisman turned into ashes and fell to the ground.

At this time, the slope passage was silent, filled with a stench of blood. More than a dozen bodies of ogre miners were lying on the ground. On the contrary, the sound of fierce fighting came from the entrance of the first-floor mine passage.

"What a pity! If we can kill all of this wave of Gnoll Miners, the Apostle's experience might be increased by one or two points..." Xu Feng said to himself.

Although you cannot gain Apostle Experience by hunting monsters in the secret realm, you can improve your clearance rating, which is a disguised way of improving Apostle Experience. Even if you can increase Apostle Experience by 1%, it is equivalent to earning an Energy Core Crystal.

Xu Feng searched every body of the kobold miners and picked up a total of thirteen kobold candles, which was less than the number of kobold miners he killed, but the main task 1 was definitely completed, and there were still a few left over.

However, having these corpses is not without gain. The Yinhuai Tree Spirit can also absorb the corpses of ordinary ogre miners. Xu Feng gave affirmation and verbal praise to the Yinhuai Tree Spirit for being not picky about food.

The corpses of more than a dozen ogre miners shortened the growth period of the Yin Huai Ling Fruit by another month. Now it only takes about nine months to produce a Yin Huai Ling Fruit. Although the effect is definitely not as strong as the three hundred-year-old Yin Huai Ling Fruits, the Yin Huai Ling Fruit increases the unallocated attribute points, which is definitely more expensive than those strength fruits, agility fruits and the like.

"After they kill the ogre supervisor and take his body, we can shorten the growth period by another month..." Xu Feng thought to himself as he looked down the passage.

"Now I just need a piece of ore with a purity of more than 15, and I can pass through this secret realm. As long as I pass through the secret realm, I can use the secret realm core and completely master the secret realm. By then, maybe I can establish a cooperative relationship with Zhao Ruhai. He is a future forging master of China and a national treasure. Being able to make friends with him in advance will definitely be of great benefit to my future development." Xu Feng couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.

In his previous life, Xu Feng had also tried to become a blacksmith. He spent a large sum of money to buy a book on blacksmithing and became a blacksmith apprentice.

Xu Feng's talent for forging was obviously much stronger than his talent for alchemy. He learned quickly and soon broke through to the junior apprentice level and became an intermediate forging apprentice.

But after becoming an intermediate blacksmithing apprentice, his improvement speed slowed down. On the one hand, he had no famous teacher to guide him, and he was just groping in the dark. His experience increased very slowly. On the other hand, he was always displaced and had no fixed place to live. He had to work hard every day to survive, so he had no time and energy to improve his blacksmithing skills. In the end, he could only let it go and was only an intermediate blacksmithing apprentice for his whole life.

Thinking of the misery and embarrassment of his previous life, Xu Feng couldn't help but sigh.

This time, at least fifteen kobold miners were killed, but apart from the quest item "Kobold Candle", there were no other drops. It seems that even with a little bit of luck, it did not increase Xu Feng's chance of drops.

When the sounds of fighting on the first floor of the mine gradually died down, Xu Feng walked towards the first floor carrying a pickaxe.

If the ore could only be dug out on the first layer, Xu Feng really didn't want to appear in front of the miners at this time.

When Xu Feng walked out of the slope passage, he really scared the surrounding miners. The person who was originally thought to be dead appeared in front of everyone again. Coupled with the surrounding environment, many people even thought that Xu Feng had turned into a dirty thing like a ghost or a zombie. They subconsciously dropped their pickaxes and gripped their weapons tightly.

"Brother, brother, are you a human or a ghost?" Niu Zhigang also felt a chill on the back of his neck and the hairs on his arms stood up. He couldn't help but ask.

Xu Feng smiled at him and didn't explain too much. Instead, he shouted loudly: "Buy a piece of ore with a purity of more than 15%. The higher the quality, the better. Price is not a problem!"

After hearing Xu Feng's powerful shout, everyone felt relieved. However, Xu Feng's image in their minds also became mysterious.

Many people have realized that the number of Gnoll Miners on the second floor has only been refreshed by half this time, which may have a lot to do with the young man in front of them.

"Being able to kill more than a dozen Gnoll miners by himself and still avoid the remaining Gnoll miners safely, this young man's strength is probably beyond many first-level apostles!" Niu Zhigang exclaimed in his heart.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

As if realizing this, the people around fell silent, and the originally relaxed atmosphere became a little heavy.

Xu Feng shouted twice more, but when no one paid attention, he stopped shouting. He glanced around at the ground with some regret, took out a pickaxe, and started smashing it against the rock wall.

It is not easy to find ore with a purity of more than 15%. Even if you dig here for three to five days, you may not be able to find it. The probability is very small. Otherwise, digging out high-quality, high-purity ore would be like winning the lottery.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, there were more than a dozen pieces of ore piled at Xu Feng's feet. If these ores were left on the ground, they would disappear in a few minutes at most, just like the bodies of those ogre miners.

Xu Feng had been digging for more than an hour. Even though his physical condition had reached thirteen points, he still felt a little tired. He thought about taking a break after digging this time. When the last pickaxe was chiseled down, a crisp "ding" sound suddenly rang in his ears.
