Li Wenxi said that she found something strange in the mine, which instantly aroused Xu Xin's interest.
"I went there to mine saltpeter and black gold, but unexpectedly, a hole appeared in the black gold mine that hadn't been there before!"
Isn't this similar to what he experienced?
"What does your cave look like? Is it very deep, with no bottom visible, and the soil at the entrance is light red?" Xu Xin asked.
"Right, right, right. And there's actually a white light deep inside the cave!" Li Wenxi's eyes lit up, and he sat up from the cow's back. "How did you know? Have you also encountered a cave like this?"
"Well, I have some here too, and here..."
Xu Xin told Li Wenxi that vines would emerge from the cave and there was a strange fragrance.
"Can vines emerge?" Li Wenxi was stunned. "Isn't that something that only happens outside of protected areas?"
It seems that this didn't happen to Li Wenxi. As expected, that hill was special.
"I don't know what's going on." Xu Xin sighed. Why does he always encounter such strange things?
"Oh, so you can't mine salt anymore?" Li Wenxi said sympathetically. "That's tragic, but it's okay. Others have discovered salt mines now. They can't refine refined salt, so you can buy salt from them."
"I collected a lot before, which is enough for now." Xu Xin did not continue the topic, but asked, "How big is your cave? Does it have any strange smell?"
"Hmm..." Li Wenxi thought for a moment and said, "It's about one or two meters in diameter. It's really deep, like an uncovered well. As for the smell... I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be there, right? The smell in the mine isn't very pleasant to begin with. The rusty metallic smell of the black gold nuggets is too strong."
"Did you see anything like red gas?"
"Red gas? Hmm... No, I shouldn't have, but this time it was strange. I hadn't been mining for long before I started feeling a little dizzy. I quickly finished mining and left." She frowned as she spoke, "But after I came out, I wasn't dizzy anymore."
This dizzy feeling was most likely caused by inhaling that strange gas. Li Wenxi didn't smell anything, perhaps because it was simply overshadowed by the metallic taste.
Xu Xin told Li Wenxi his guess and warned her that if she wanted to enter the cave to mine again in the future, it would be better to be prepared first, otherwise there might be problems.
"Oh, good! My head was swollen, like something was about to jump out of it. Now that I think about it, it was really dangerous." Li Wenxi was also a little scared. "Luckily, I mined enough ore this time, and it triggered... It's enough for us to use for a while!"
She seemed to say something strange, but Xu Xin pretended not to hear.
However, since this is not a situation unique to him, it seems that these inexplicably appearing bottomless holes are indeed related to the second stage.
"Xu Xin, now that I have Aniu, my mining and quarrying efficiency has been greatly improved. Do you think I should open up the minerals to the outside world?" Li Wenxi asked with a somewhat conflicted expression.
"If you can manage it, then open it up. You can also collect some resources from them that you don't have."
"Well, but you've basically given me all the resources I want. Weapons, armor, and food. I don't seem to lack anything."
"You can trade them for items in the Points Mall; they're all very useful," Xu Xin suggested. Even the cheap green-grade fertilizers in the Points Mall were quite effective, helping green-grade plants grow faster.
There are also those weird things, most of which are quite attractive.
"...That makes sense. I have a lot of iron ore resources now. If you want, you can sell ironware to others, but you have to give me a share." Li Wenxi lay on the cow's back again.
"If you can provide that much iron, I have no problem."
After hanging up the video call, Xu Xin opened the regional channel.
On the regional channel, a few people also discovered a bottomless hole. However, since only a few people discovered it, it did not attract much attention.
There is some discussion going on within [Explorer].
Zhao Xiaochuan: "What do you think is in this cave? It's so deep, and there's light underneath!"
Ji Chaoyang: "The soil around this hole is gray and contaminated. I'm afraid some bad things will come out of it. We should find a way to block it."
Wen Guixin: "Why didn't I find the hole you mentioned?"
Li Wenxi: "I found it too. It's in a mine I've been to. It definitely wasn't there before."
Qin Yunlong: "This sudden hole is most likely related to the mutant monster."
Xu Xin asked, "Have you ever seen monsters from outside the protected area appear inside the protected area?"
"No."
"No."
Xu Xin seemed to be thinking about something and did not ask any further questions.
Forget it, I'll go check it out after dark. Now I'll continue carving and improve the decoration of the tree house.
Picking up the carving knife, Xu Xin concentrated all his attention and began to carve on the red crystal.
Let’s carve out a breast this time.
Before, he was always immersed in sculpture and painting, which made him feel that time passed very quickly, and an hour or two would pass by unknowingly.
But this time, it was very unusual.
After only carving for a few minutes, he frowned and stopped what he was doing.
no.
He doesn't seem to be able to carve on blue-level materials yet, nor can he create blue-level carvings.
