Assam's resolute face was wrinkled with pain.

A moment later, he also felt a surge of strength in his body, with surprise in his eyes.

"So this is what the Lord intended? It's amazing."

"Thank you for the whip, dear lord!"

Assam said respectfully.

At this time, Asam said a little embarrassedly: "My Lord, can you spank me a few more times?"

"Assam wants to become even stronger!"

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "No, only the first whipping will be effective."

Hearing this, Assam nodded with some regret.

The people around them, listening to their conversation, were completely confused.

Although I know that Cao Xing's actions may have some purpose, it is still too strange.

Cao Xing knew that they had misunderstood, coughed twice, and then explained to them the effect of the whip.

After everyone heard this, some realization appeared in their eyes.

At this time, Cao Xing said, "Well, Andrew, Sarah, let me also give you an additional blessing."

Andrew and Sarah looked at each other and nodded.

Cao Xing pulled them over one by one.

“Pah!”

“Pah!”

In this deep mine, there was a sound of whips lashing.

Andrew is fine, he has thick skin and tough flesh, so this little pain has no effect on him.

Sarah, who was standing beside her, was trembling slightly.

When it was Liu Muxue's turn, she looked at the whip in Cao Xing's hand with some fear and said softly, "Ah Xing... I, do I want one too?"

Cao Xing thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, 10% movement speed is a significant improvement."

"Besides, you only need to be slapped once, and you can get through it by just enduring it."

Liu Muxue thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes."

Cao Xing didn't think twice and whipped him directly.

“Hmm!”

Liu Muxue let out a muffled groan and then looked at Cao Xing pitifully.

“It… it hurts…”

Looking at this scene, Cao Xing couldn't help but think of what happened last night, and he felt a little angry for a moment.

But he quickly calmed down.

Cao Xing coughed twice and said, "The status has been strengthened, let's move on."

Andrew and Assam continued to move forward.

There is a railroad track in the passage, extending deeper.

As Cao Xing moved forward along the route, he pulled up the rails on the ground.

【Railway +1】

【Railway +1】

Not long after walking, Cao Xing had already collected hundreds of meters of railroad tracks!

Even if it is broken down into iron, there are hundreds of pieces!

Cao Xing said happily: "If I pick up a few more rails, I can connect that coal mine to my territory, and the speed of collecting resources will be greatly increased."

Just then, a fork in the road appeared in the mine ahead.

The intersection on the left seemed to lead to the depths of a mine, from which the sound of machines could be heard faintly.

The intersection on the right was blocked with wooden boards and a red "X" was painted on it.

This seems to be a restricted area.

Everyone stopped where they were, waiting for Cao Xing's decision.

Cao Xing thought for a moment and said, "Andrew, take down the board. I'll take a look at what's inside."

Andrew obeyed the order and swung his huge bear claws to hit him.

“Crack! Crack!”

The wooden board was smashed directly, revealing the scene inside the mine.

Cao Xing saw that there seemed to be several collapsed mine cars in the mine ahead, and there were some excavated ores scattered on the ground next to them.

It seemed that the group of mole people had encountered some situation and had no time to evacuate, so they stayed here.

Sarah, who was in the shadows, suddenly said, "I sensed a dangerous aura in there..."

Cao Xing frowned when he heard this.

Sarah is a level 20 elite monster, and even she finds it dangerous, which means there is some terrifying creature inside.

Cao Xing said, "Sarah, go check it out."

Sarah nodded and disappeared into the shadows.

A minute later, Sarah reappeared and said, "We have completed the search. It turns out to be the lair of a Level 2 monster."

"Second level monster, how strong is it?"

Sarah thought for a moment and replied, "He should be as powerful as me."

Cao Xing nodded suddenly.

On par with Sarah, it is a level 20 elite monster.

Cao Xing asked, "Are you sure you can handle it?"

Sarah thought for a moment and replied, "With the additional blessing from the Lord, it shouldn't be a problem."

"If we cooperate with these two companions, we will basically have a sure win."

After hearing this, Cao Xing felt reassured.

"Very good, let's go straight in!"

After saying that, Andrew and Assam walked directly towards the mine on the right.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue followed behind.

He soon came to one of the collapsed mine carts with some ore scattered around it.

Cao Xing simply packed up the ore on the ground and took it away with the mine cart.

[Obtained Mine Cart*1, Iron Ore*31, Cursed Metal*7, Mythril Ore*8, Mana Stone*17, Stone*64...]

"Huh? So many mithril and mana stones?" Cao Xing was delighted.

You know, these are all high-grade materials and are very valuable.

Cao Xing began to look into the past.

[Iron Ore: Can be processed in an ore processing plant. One piece of ore can be processed into five pieces of iron]

[Cursed Metal: A metal that incorporates the resentment of the dead]

(Can be used to make some evil alchemy items.)

[Mythril Ore: Can be processed in an ore processing plant. 1 piece of Mythril Ore can be processed into 3 pieces of Mythril]

(Note: Level 3 Ore Processing Plant is required)

[Magic Stone: A stone containing energy that can provide energy for some special devices.]

…

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction and looked at the other minecarts on the ground.

Then pack it all up and take it away.

[Obtained Mine Cart*1, Iron Ore*42, Cursed Metal*9, Mythril Ore*7, Mana Stone*19, Stone*72...]

In addition to these, the rails on the ground are not spared.

[Obtained Rails*42, obtained Abandoned Mine Carts*7, obtained...]

…

Cao Xing followed Andrew Assam all the way, and then packed up the various minerals on the ground and took them away.

Liu Muxue was also helping to collect.

While picking up the ore, he said with a delighted smile: "Axing, there are so many iron ores and a lot of mithril ores!"

Cao Xing nodded, "This trip was quite rewarding. Just these ores and mine carts are worth the trip."

Liu Muxue's face also showed the joy of harvest.

Apparently, the Molemen Mine is a high-level area.

At least with the current survivors' strength, there is no way for them to get in.

As Cao Xing has three generals under his command, he is able to enter the Mole Man Mine to search for treasure at this level.

The harvest can be said to be quite rich.

So far, Cao Xing has collected nearly 200 sections of rails.

Fortunately, the survivor's [portable backpack] function has 20 slots of storage space, and similar materials like this can be stacked together into 400 pieces.

Large items like minecarts can be stacked up to 100 times, taking up only 1 grid space.

The backpack is quite large.

Everyone began to move forward.

Until they reached the depths of the passage.

The light here is only dim.

However, as Cao Xing took out the magic stone torch from his backpack, the darkness inside was immediately dispelled.

They noticed that there were some white spider webs on the top and sides of the mine.

The further you go in, the denser the spider webs become.

There were even some large nets that filled the passages, blocking everyone's way.

At the same time, an evil and powerful aura came towards him!
