Chapter 79: Discovering the Mine
After a crazy night, I got up early.
Sang Luo had been kept awake all night by Lan Cang, exhausted as a dregs. She'd wanted to take a nap, but he'd dragged her out of bed, had breakfast, and gone to the altar, where he announced their relationship to everyone! Every orc in the city knew of her! She was his partner!
Everyone also knew the whole story and resolved the misunderstanding.
"We have finally welcomed the wife of the City Lord in Ice Breaking City!"
"Madam is so beautiful~ So beautiful~ I wonder if I have the chance to become Madam's second partner!"
"And me, I may not be as strong as the city lord, but I am at least a seventh-level orc! Even if I don't want to be your concubine, I'm willing to be your underground lover! Please have mercy on me, madam!"
"Madam, look at me! I've just reached adulthood, I have good physical strength and many tricks. I'm begging for your guidance~"
The whole city was bustling with activity. After seeing Sang Luo's true appearance, the group of single male beasts who had just reached adulthood rushed to promote themselves as if they had entered the mating season in advance.
Lan Cang's face darkened. Sang Luo smiled and joked, "Do you regret it?"
"No regrets, you are my partner, and I want everyone in the world to know it." As for those young boys in estrus, they will behave themselves after a beating!
On the way back, Lan Cang gently squeezed her hand and said, "The people in the city welcome you very much. If you want to continue living here..."
Sang Luo smiled and said, "I will come to find you again."
With just one sentence, Lan Cang understood her feelings. Joy and bitterness entangled in his heart. He held Sang Luo tightly in his arms for a long, long time before letting her go. He pressed his foreheads against hers and whispered, "As long as you want to come back, I will always wait for you."
"Don't worry, I'm not leaving for the time being. I will definitely come back to find you after I leave. I won't keep you waiting too long." Sang Luo took his warm, slender hand and ironed it against her palm. "Come shopping with me?"
"Okay." Lan Cang felt relieved after hearing her say that. He raised a charming smile at the corner of his lips and accompanied her for a stroll in the city.
The shops in the cities of the Northern Continent are not as prosperous as those in the Western Continent, but the shops contain many precious materials that are not available in other continents.
On a whim, Sang Luo went to a gambling stone shop.
Under the clerk's strong sales pitch, I bought an ordinary gambling stone.
After cutting it open, it is a whole piece of emerald green jade, a rare large piece of jade material, emerald green and flawless, and soft to the touch. It is pleasing to the eye whether it is made into beads or bracelets or jade pendants.
What attracted her most was the essence of spiritual energy in the stone.
"You are so lucky, my lady! This is the extremely rare Jade Soul Jade. If you make it into a jade pendant and wear it on your body, it will nourish your body and is very suitable for women!"
I spent a few low-grade beast crystals and gambled on a piece of stone, but I was able to get this kind of top-grade spiritual jade! It was a huge profit!
Many beastmen in the store came to watch and exclaimed in amazement.
Unexpectedly, such a small shop could produce such high-end goods. Lan Cang also bought a few gambling stones, but only ordinary materials were produced. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Luoluo, you are so lucky."
Sang Luoke knew very well that it was not her good luck. Before she even entered the door, she could sense the aura of spiritual treasure emanating from this place. As soon as she entered the door, she fell in love with this gambling stone at first sight. The spiritual energy was emanating from it.
Lan Cang sent the jade to a jade shop to be made into jade bracelets and jade pendants. The remaining scraps were turned into beads and he would come back to pick them up in a few days.
The two of them strolled along the way, picking and shopping. On the way back, Sang Luo picked up a civet cat cub that was almost frozen to death.
She quickly used her fire power to help it drive away the cold, and the little cub weakly opened its eyes and whimpered weakly. It looked so hungry that it had no strength left. Sang Luo took out some dried meat from the space and fed it.
"I recognize this cub. Its father died at the hands of a star beast some time ago. No one takes care of it. It must want to come out to find something to eat." Lan Cang said.
After the cub recovered some strength and was able to walk, Sang Luo took out a large bag of dried meat. It was so hungry that it almost snatched it and ran away with the dried meat in its mouth.
Most of the people living in Icebreaker City are migrating foreign orcs.
There are few females in the city and few cubs are born, but a few of them freeze to death every year, especially those cubs that were born this year and are weak. They basically cannot survive the cold winter, and only half of the cubs can grow up successfully.
This was not the first time Lan Cang had seen such a situation. He felt sympathy but did not intervene.
He had grown up like this since he was a child and did not think it was cruel. Not to mention that the law of survival in the Northern Continent was to select the best and survive. Life that could not survive in a harsh environment was destined to be eliminated. After generations of evolution, the native orcs of the Northern Continent were all extremely strong and powerful.
Sang Luo understood this logic, but she still felt sad. She had never seen anyone freeze to death in winter.
"Is the Northern Continent short of fuel? I see there are several forests outside the city. If we chop some of them and use them as firewood, it will last for a long time."
"That kind of wood is very damp, has little fiber, and doesn't have much oil, so it won't burn." Lan Cang said, "There is an extremely precious fire source stone that is rich in fire spiritual energy. One can burn for a long time, but the underground source has not yet been discovered."
In the past, many orcs in the northern continent tried to mine minerals, but few succeeded.
"Fire Source Stone? I think I know where it is. Find a few people and follow me!"
Sang Luo suddenly remembered that when she first came to the Northern Continent, she saw a strong red fire spiritual power rising from a certain area. She thought something strange had happened and asked the other orcs in the bounty team. It turned out that no one else saw it, and she was the only one who could see the spiritual power fluctuations.
Sang Luofu suddenly had an idea and guessed what the little lion's innate ability of [Eyes of Image Destruction] was. Now was a good opportunity to verify it.
Lan Cang had no doubts about it, and immediately gathered a team, followed her to the vicinity of the hill, and ordered people to dig down.
Dozens of orcs turned into giant groundhogs about the size of large dogs, and quickly dug a hole. By nightfall, they had dug nearly a hundred meters.
Suddenly, an orc's cry of surprise came from the bottom of the cave, "Boss! We have discovered a source of firestone!"
"Are you sure you're seeing this correctly?"
"Absolutely true!"
Hundreds of orcs cheered.
Lan Cang's breathing became visibly excited.
"Luoluo, you are truly the savior of the people in this city!"
"It's a piece of cake. It would be best if we can find a mine. Let's dig quickly and bring up the fire crystals." Sang Luo looked down at the cave fearfully. The mine was quite deep, like an abyss tiankeng, and there was no end in sight.
"This mine is quite deep. I'm afraid it's difficult to transport the ore from below."
"It can be transported up." Lan Cang asked the snow sculpture orc and several orcs who were good at climbing to go down with the box and iron chain.
In one round trip, they transported thousands of kilograms of fire stones, enough for the orcs in the entire city to use for half a month.
Lan Cang asked the orc who had just come up, "How much is left underground?"
There will be an update in the evening~
