Having solved one of his biggest worries, Mark finally began to consider leaving the underground mine which was hundreds of meters deep.
The crack that originally connected to the mine platform has been blocked by rocks shattered by Stan's explosion, so it is not easy to leave from here.
Although Mark is a hidden professional, he is not a powerful magician and cannot use ridiculously powerful magic such as space teleportation and rock control.
All he could rely on was his newly improved physique and strength, as well as the cross necklace he turned into a pickaxe.
"I never thought that in the end, I would still have to dig and dig in this small mine~"
Mark carried Kyle on his back and tied him tightly with the torn strips of holy robe.
Xiao Mu turned into a flowing pink light band that wrapped around Mark's left arm, illuminating the collapsed rock wall in front with a faint phosphorescent glow. From time to time, he would extend his tentacles to help Mark move the dug stones aside.
While digging the tunnel upwards, Mark would occasionally dig up some Holy Light Blood Crystals dropped by Blood Armor Miners or Blood Armor Paladins.
However, thinking of the information about the blood crystals identified by Monica, Mark instinctively felt that this thing was a troublesome thing.
In order to avoid being entangled by the Church of Holy Light in the future, he kicked this thing that was of no use to him as far as possible, and let the people of the Church of Holy Light find an opportunity to come down and dig it up!
In fact, at this time, Mark couldn't help feeling a little sad.
If not everyone in this world has a panel given by the "Creator God", he should have a unique system panel.
In that case, all the convenient cheats such as system backpack, sight identification, monster health bar, etc. would have been available to you long ago!
If he had a system backpack, he could also hide all the good things in his backpack without having to worry about the search of the Holy Light Church.
It's a pity that these things have already been arranged by the "God of Creation". What should be managed by the prop master and magician is managed by the prop master and magician, and what should be managed by the appraiser is managed by the appraiser. As a fake priest, he should just be his own adventurer with no threshold!
"Holy Judgment!"
The pickaxe, wrapped in a layer of false holy light, smashed down heavily, chiseling away a huge rock that was blocking the passage that Mark sensed.
The flying debris hit his face and it was a bit painful. Mark walked through the smoke and dust with his back bent, and the back of his neck was burned red by the hot breath exhaled by Kyle.
When they finally drilled through the fallen rocks and arrived near the mine car platform, Mark stepped on the glass-like ground formed by the melted blood crystal and began to dig a hole horizontally. At this moment, Xiao Mu suddenly made a rapid grunting sound.
Mark looked up suddenly and saw that the rock layer thirty meters above him suddenly broke, and the groundwater in the rock layer poured down with a mudslide containing dark red crystals.
“What bad luck!”
Mark, who only has one skill active, does not have the Holy Light Shield like Kyle and Stan.
Faced with this kind of mudslide, he could only choose to fight hard or find a place to hide temporarily.
Fortunately, there were plenty of gaps in the rubble of the collapsed mine for him to hide in. With the help of the light emitted by Xiao Mu, Mark found a gap where the two of them could hide. He turned the pickaxe into a pole and swung it across a distance of five or six meters to get in.
After Mark entered the cave, Xiao Mu, who was around him, expanded his entire body into an umbrella shape with great spirituality. A layer of light pink light was attached to the outside of the gel-like body with magic power, which blocked all the oncoming mudslides outside the gap.
Or maybe Mark and Kyle were both lucky. After entering the gap, Mark quickly found the rails specially for mine carts in a corner of the gap.
Without worrying about the mudslides brought about by groundwater outside, Mark just dug upwards along the railway track and found the most correct direction very smoothly.
After climbing up about forty meters, the passage in front of us gradually became wider, and there were fewer and fewer large pieces of gravel in the mine.
When Xiao Mu squeezed his body into the gap and pushed away the last huge rock that sealed the mine tunnel, Mark stuck his head out of the exposed passage and greedily breathed in the fresh air from the upper level of the mine tunnel.
"Huh, big idiot, I'm a man who will repay a favor. You saved me from the mine, so I saved you from the mine! Don't ever repay kindness with enmity in the future!"
Even though Mark's current physique and strength are far superior to those of ordinary people, he is still unable to forcibly carve out a passage of more than a hundred meters in the pile of rocks.
Mark not only had to carry the heavy Kyle all the way up, but also had to use his hands to dig out the blockage that had been broken into scattered gravel from time to time. Now his fingernails were turned and bleeding.
With a large amount of dust and gravel invading the wound, it would be impossible for him to recover in a short time even if he had a strong physique.
Just like the burn on Kyle's back, he also needed to find a clean place to clean the wound after returning to the ground before he could recover from the injury.
Of course, if he had mastered Holy Light Healing now, these minor injuries might not be a problem for him.
The road in the second half of the mine tunnel did not suffer as much damage as the bottom of the mine, and there were no large rocks blocking the road.
Mark, who was carrying Kyle on his back, walked faster and faster. It only took him about half an hour to climb more than 300 meters along the mine car passage and arrive at the entrance of the blood crystal mine.
Looking out from the mine tunnel, the sky outside the blood crystal mine was still pitch black, and there was no moving figure outside the open mine platform.
Judging from the panel time, it is still three o'clock in the morning.
Under normal circumstances, there would be no one outside the blood crystal mine at this time.
But the key point is that tonight is not a normal situation. The explosion caused by the backlash of the Holy Light treatment caused the blood crystal mine to collapse. He did not believe that the Stone Hammer Town, which relied on blood crystal minerals as its main source of income, would have no reaction to this.
In addition, he did not find the bodies of the caravan members in the collapsed mine, so they should be resting outside the mine.
"Could it be that Eugene or Orson sensed something was wrong with Stone Hammer Town and fled under the cover of darkness? Holy crap, did I spend my five gold coins for nothing?"
Mark complained like this, but pushed Kyle deeper into the mine, then stuffed Xiao Mu into his sleeve and walked out carefully with his body bent!
"Who is it!? Come out!"
"call out!"
Before Mark could completely walk out of the mine, three crossbow arrows with a cold glow brushed past his earlobes and were nailed into the stone wall beside Mark!
Looking at the three arrow tails that were less than half an inch outside the stone wall, Mark couldn't help swallowing.
With this kind of power, even Kyle and Stan might not be able to stop it!
Is this just escaping from the wolf's den and falling into the tiger's mouth?
