Chapter 280: The Changing Copper Mine at the Bottom of the Lake!



Xu Xin glanced down and saw the pitch-black abyss. The bottomless water gave him a chill and he quickly looked away.

Scary!

This is really giving me deep-sea phobia.

He swam to the edge of the rock wall, reached out his hand towards the green ore and touched it.

Copper ore: A metallic ore that can be smelted in a furnace into copper blocks. It is highly conductive and is a basic material for making electrical appliances.

really!

Here we come!

Copper ore!

His guess was correct! It was copper ore!

Copper ore that can be used to make electrical appliances!

It turns out that copper ore is hidden in such a deep place. No wonder Li Wenxi found the gold mine but not the copper mine.

It turns out that the copper mine is in deep water!

However...brothers Qin Yunlong and Qin Yunhu did not seem to find the copper mine.

Is he the only one who has it?

Forget it, let’s not think about these things for now, let’s collect these copper mines first!

Xu Xin took out the prospector's pickaxe. Li Wenxi had given him hers last time.

Xu Xin held the rock wall steady with one hand, and swung the steel pickaxe with the other hand to chisel at the underwater ore.

"Crack!" The steel pickaxe hit the ore, but the ore did not change at all.

The resistance in the water is so great that the power of the pickaxe is greatly weakened.

Xu Xin could only swing the pickaxe again and again, and finally, he knocked down a piece of ore.

“Crack!”

A whole piece of ore split into five pieces of [copper ore]. Xu Xin immediately collected them with quick eyes and hands, but in the end, one piece of copper ore fell into the bottomless abyss.

"This..." Xu Xin felt a little uncomfortable. One of them actually fell down.

There was no good way underwater, so he could only collect as much as he could.

“Crack!”

“Crack!”

No copper ore fell down these times, and Xu Xin collected the copper ore on the rock wall as quickly as possible.

“Crack!”

This time, the triple explosion rate of the [Prospector's Pickaxe] took effect. In an instant, fifteen pieces of copper ore appeared. Xu Xin could only try his best to collect them, but in the end, three pieces fell down.

Shaking his head, he swam to a piece of blue-level ore.

The blue light only accounts for a very small part, so only a piece of blue-level ore should be mined.

Xu Xin swung the pickaxe.

After more than a dozen diggings, he finally obtained the first piece of blue-grade copper ore.

And the second and third pieces.

The triple explosion rate has been triggered again! And this time it happened to be triggered on blue ore!

Really good!

After putting the blue-level copper ore into his backpack, Xu Xin stuffed a piece of water grass into his mouth to prolong his underwater breathing time and continued digging.

“Crack!” “Crack!” “Crack!”

Soon, there were hundreds of pieces of copper ore in his backpack.

Among them, there are eight pieces of blue-grade copper ores.

After that, he mined blue-level copper ore three more times, and the triple explosion rate appeared again.

"This prospector's pickaxe is really good!" Xu Xin was very satisfied with the results. Not only did he find a lot of blue-grade copper ore, but he also found a lot of green-grade copper ore, which saved him a lot of time.

There are still a lot of green ores on the cave wall that have not been mined. Because this cave is very large, there is a whole circle of such ores on the cave wall at a depth of 40 meters. There are a lot of them.

But Xu Xin had already decided to go up.

He had been digging for almost an hour. According to his request, Lou Feier should have returned.

Moreover, the water temperature was too low, and even though he had been moving around, he could no longer bear it.

The most important point is that he clearly noticed something was wrong around him!

The water that was originally rotating slowly around here is now flowing much faster than before!

If he didn't hold on to the cave wall with his hands, he would be carried away by the water!

What made him most creepy was that he seemed to hear some low sound coming from deep in the cave, like... the roar of a whale.

The sound was faint, but still caught by his enhanced hearing.

There is something deep under the water!

Let’s go up quickly!

There are now more than 500 pieces of green-grade copper ores and eight pieces of blue-grade copper ores in his backpack. According to the rules, five pieces of metal ore can be smelted into one metal block. If he hands it over to Li Wenxi to let her smelt it, the final result will be more metal blocks.

It should be able to meet the needs.

Go up!

Xu Xin began to slowly float up.

The water flow in the cave was really much stronger, carrying him around along the cave wall.

From the bottomless cave, low voices kept coming upwards, which made Xu Xin's heart hang in the air. He clenched his teeth and looked down from time to time.

Could it be the giant anaconda in the center of the lake?

Didn't you lure it out?

No, anacondas shouldn't have vocal organs, right?

However, anacondas couldn't survive in deep water, so the laws of the original world didn't apply here. In his opinion, this giant anaconda was almost as powerful as a dragon.

In the end, Xu Xin managed to emerge from the water safely, breathed a long sigh of relief, and swam quickly towards the nearest lake.

Because the water was rotating, his position was already far away from where he entered the water.

Xu Xin swam to the shallow water, swam ashore, and walked around the lake back to his original position. Keke was still waiting there.

From a distance, he heard Coco's anxious cries.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" Coco ran back and forth by the lake, shouting at the water.

Finally, it jumped into the lake itself, flapping its little paws and swimming towards the center of the lake.

"Coco, I'm already here!" Xu Xin quickly ran towards Coco.

"Hmm?" Coco looked back at Xu Xin as she floated on the lake. "Hmm!"

Xu Xin quickly fished Coco out of the lake. The little guy could float on the water, but his swimming speed was really not good.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" Coco rubbed her wet head into Xu Xin's arms, then pointed her little paws at the lake and cried twice. Then she shook her body, and the water on her body splashed all over Xu Xin's face.

Xu Xin didn't care. He had just come out of the water and was soaked too.

"There is danger in the lake..." He understood what Coco meant, looked at the bottomless center of the lake, and swallowed.

It seems that the faint low voice just now was not his illusion.

And the water speed is getting faster and faster...

Xu Xin felt a little scared. It was really a terrifying danger, otherwise Keke wouldn't have been so anxious and jumped directly into the lake to find him.

Let’s put the exploration of this lake on hold for now.

The ore he has is enough for the time being.

Let professionals do professional things. After Qin Yunlong and the others are connected here, let them come over and go into the water to explore.

He'd better not go down and cause trouble for himself.
