Meng Qingyin quickly found a strong rock on a cliff and started digging with her pickaxe.
However, the rock is hard and difficult to dig, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also makes a lot of noise, with constant clanging and rattling sounds.
Soon, someone came running after hearing the sound.
"Hey! Who are you people?" A burly minotaur stared at Meng Qingyin and her companions, asking in an unfriendly tone, "You don't look like minotaurs, what race are you?"
The other minotaur stared at Ye Lihua and Ye Zhe'ergen, somewhat horrified: "You...you are Night Demons! How did you come to our Minotaur Valley? Are the Night Demons going to attack Minotaur Valley?"
Ye Lihua and Ye Zhe'ergen looked at each other, both bewildered by the minotaur's rich imagination.
Meng Qingyin hadn't expected them to expose their whereabouts so quickly; she needed to find a way to keep these two minotaurs in check first.
It would be bad if they made a fuss and attracted more minotaurs.
"Brothers, you've misunderstood. We are here to mine strong stones on the orders of our leader, Niu Meng," she said without changing her expression.
The minotaur looked at her suspiciously: "Did Lord Niu Meng send you? But we were ordered to guard Qiangshi here, how come we have never received any orders from Lord Niu Meng?"
Meng Qingyin was surprised that Niu Meng had actually sent people to guard Qiang Shi.
“I have a letter from Lord Niu Meng here. You two can take a look.” Meng Qingyin pretended to take something out of her sleeve.
She quickly gave Qin Jiu a look.
Qin Jiu nodded slightly at her knowingly.
The minotaur muttered to himself, "When did Lord Niu Meng start liking to write letters?"
Muttering to himself, he and his companion went forward to investigate.
With two loud bangs, the two men were knocked unconscious and fell to the ground.
Dragging them aside, Meng Qingyin instructed Ye Lihua and Ye Zhe'ergen to stand guard nearby, saying, "If any more minotaurs come, knock them out, just like you did before."
Night Pear Blossom rubbed her hands excitedly: "Don't worry, sir, I promise I won't let a single minotaur come and disturb your mining!"
Meng Qingyin and Qin Jiu focused intently on digging the strong rock, and as expected, they were not disturbed again.
This digging lasted for two hours.
Meng Qingyin asked Qin Jiu, "Little Jiu, how much did you dig up?"
Qin Jiu: "I estimate it's over 100 jin (50 kg)."
Meng Qingyin: "I've dug up 100 jin (50 catties) too."
If nothing unexpected happens, the strong stone probably can't be used directly; it needs to be smelted first. I wonder how much strong stone powder these 200 jin of strong stone will eventually be processed into.
Making one packet of desiccant requires 50g of strong stone powder. Since there are 180,000 players in Zone 30, even if everyone had one packet, it would still require…
Meng Qingyin silently calculated in her mind that she needed 18,000 catties of strong stone powder!
How long will it take to dig this out?
Just as I was worrying about how to improve mining efficiency, the ground suddenly shook, and at the same time, a noisy sound came from ahead—that was where Night Pear Blossom and Night Fever Root were!
Meng Qingyin's expression turned serious. What had happened up ahead?
She strode forward quickly, and Qin Jiu hurried to follow.
After rounding a huge stone wall, Meng Qingyin gasped when she saw the scene before her.
Qin Jiu was also shocked: "What's going on? How come there are so many minotaurs all of a sudden?"
Ahead lay the formidable army of minotaurs, led by Niu Meng, who was confronting Ye Lihua and Ye Zhe'ergen.
Behind Ye Lihua and her companion were mountains of minotaur "corpses".
Meng Qingyin rushed over immediately and found that they were not "corpses"; the minotaurs had just fainted. She breathed a sigh of relief.
But how did Ye Lihua and Ye Zhe'ergen manage to knock out so many minotaurs?
Niu Meng's rough voice was tinged with anger: "You Night Demons have gone too far! You actually injured my people in Bull Head Valley!"
Although there were only two of them, Ye Lihua was in no way inferior in terms of imposing manner in the face of thousands of troops: "They were the ones I injured, what can you do to me?"
Provoked by his arrogance, Niu Meng immediately ordered the two Night Demons to be captured, so they could experience what it's like to be beaten up by all the Minotaur.
Meng Qingyin quickly stepped forward to stop them: "It's a misunderstanding, it's just a misunderstanding!"
Niu Meng didn't notice her until she stepped out from behind Ye Lihua.
His eyes widened in disbelief as he asked, "Aren't you a player? How did you end up here?"
This player is the chosen master of the Three-Pointed Blade. Why would she appear in Bull Head Valley if she didn't hurry up and train the Three-Pointed Blade?
Niu Meng was a straightforward person, and he asked whatever came to mind: "Where's the Three-Pointed Knife? Why haven't you been training the Three-Pointed Knife lately?"
Meng Qingyin's gaze darkened. The Three-Pointed Knife was actually related to Niu Meng?
"Why did you make the Three-Pointed Blade acknowledge me as its master?" Meng Qingyin asked instead of answering.
Niu Meng snorted, white breath coming out of his nostrils: "How could I possibly control this? Just like Qingfeng... In any case, the fact that the Three-Pointed Blade recognized you as its master was not due to my control. You have such a divine weapon, why aren't you cultivating it? What are you doing running to Niu Tou Valley? Also, why are you hanging out with the Night Demon?"
Upon hearing the word "mingling," Ye Lihua immediately became displeased: "What do you mean by 'mingling'? How can you speak so rudely? This is our leader!"
Niu Meng was shocked: "Leader? Ye Yingjun died in the Tower of Babel?"
Meng Qingyin: "..."
"Pah! Your Minotaur chieftain died in the Tower of Babel!" Night Pear Blossom spat. "Our deputy chieftain is perfectly fine!"
Niu Meng was confused: "What deputy leader? How come there's another deputy leader?"
If these two keep arguing, it'll be dark by the time they finish. Meng Qingyin said helplessly, "Now I am the leader of the Night Demon Clan, and Ye Yingjun is the deputy leader."
The way Niu Meng looked at her changed instantly.
Ye Yingjun's combat strength is second to none, yet this player managed to subdue him and make him willingly give up his position as leader.
What terrifying power this is!
He dared to confront Ye Lihua and Ye Zhe'ergen just now because he knew Ye Yingjun wasn't there. If Ye Yingjun were there, he would have plucked the feathers from not only the Minotaur Clan, but also the Phoenix Clan!
Who knew that while Ye Yingjun was away, there was someone even more terrifying than Ye Yingjun.
"What brings you to our Niu Tou Valley?" Niu Meng suddenly became polite.
Meng Qingyin: "..." Why does it seem like things are taking a strange turn?
Ye Lihua was very satisfied with his attitude; this was the right way to treat the leader!
Meng Qingyin coughed twice: "I'd like to borrow some strong stones, I'm sure you don't mind?"
Niu Meng quickly waved his hand: "I don't mind, of course I don't mind! If you don't have enough manpower, I'll have the Minotaur tribe help you mine."
Meng Qingyin: "..."
If she had known that simply revealing her identity would have resolved the matter smoothly, she would have revealed it from the beginning!
