Chapter 35 Mineral Deposits

The reason why this place is called the cupronickel forest by humans is naturally because it is rich in mineral deposits and is rich in cupronickel.

Mineral deposits will naturally attract dwarves, the best miners and blacksmiths in the world. They once had several small fortresses here. The fortresses were built among the mountains, with mines and passages extending deep into the ground, sometimes even

Dig all the way into the mysterious and unknown dark places.

However, due to complicated reasons, the dwarves finally gave up on the small fortress here and retreated to the south.

"No, there are a lot of powerful monsters over there, and there are also many fey creatures with powerful magic. There are many goblins in the deeper mountains. In short, it is definitely not a place suitable for kobold activities."

It is not difficult to hear from his words that Toby is quite afraid of that place and will never go there unless necessary.

[Not suitable for individual kobolds. You said that kobolds are good at digging holes and can judge the approximate location of mineral veins. Tell me which side has the richest mineral deposits. 】

"This is near the mountain range. The mineral reserves are extremely rich. It can be called a fertile mountain."

[Very good, let me ask you again, if I occupy a territory nearby and can guarantee your safety, will you kobolds move there with me? 】

"This is all at your request."

In addition to the mines, Tang Zhao also obtained a lot of other information from the mouths of local snakes such as kobolds, which can be regarded as mixed.

There are fey creatures in the forest, and they seem to be doing well. This means that there must not only be weak fey creatures like picklings and goblins here, but there must also be more powerful fey creatures, such as tree elves and goblins.

Goat or something like that.

Insura is a forest many times larger than the Cangguan Forest in its heyday. It is not surprising that there are more and stronger fey creatures in it. It would be weird if Tang Zhao really didn't exist. It's just that he has been wandering in the outer layer before.

Just haven't encountered it.

Tang Zhao was not worried that these fey creatures would abduct his goblins. The goblins' settlements had always been like that, with dozens or dozens of people loosely organized, with no organization or cohesion. They would only appear when they encountered danger.

Only then will they come together.

Tang Zhao's side is a large settlement of more than a hundred people, and everyone is considered a good comrade who has lived and died together. Their cohesiveness is not comparable to that of ordinary goblin settlements.

The incident with the Yit Monster has made these goblins even more insecure. Without a stable and safe settlement, they will not leave easily.

If we really want to talk about absorption, it would be better for the goblins of Cangguan Forest to absorb a small number of local goblins who have a strong sense of crisis.

In addition, there are indeed many dark and powerful creatures there. Even ordinary beasts can cause trouble. The most threatening enemies to Tang Zhao should be the goblins.

There are three types of goblins. The best hobgoblins have their own country and a well-disciplined army. The ordinary goblins have the largest number and the worst combat ability. There is also a tall goblin called bugbear, which is often used by former goblins.

Both were recruited as mercenaries.]

There are only ordinary goblins in the Everlook Mountains, perhaps mixed with a small number of bugbears.

Ordinary goblins are a very annoying species, unlike kobolds. Because they pose a real threat to humans and goblins, everyone needs to know more about goblins.

Compared to kobolds, ordinary goblins are lazier and more disorganized creatures, with strong jealousy and desire for violence. Even their goblin kin will not let ordinary goblins do key tasks when circumstances permit.

Because I know they are a completely unreliable race.

This is what they told Tang Zhao. Tang Zhao had reservations about this, and the goblins' evaluation of the kobolds was not very good.

[The goblins are most likely based on the abandoned dwarf fortress in the Everlook Mountains. They sent scouts as far as possible to inquire about the situation there. Safety is the first priority. Find out how far those guys are from our camp. 】

"Our reconnaissance team has never been to such a deep place. Isn't it a bit hasty to go there rashly this time?"

[Regarding this, don’t worry, I will go there to investigate the situation in the afternoon. When I come back, I will send scouts to conduct a large-scale investigation. 】

How it should be, seeing is believing.

After questioning, Tang Zhao asked the kobold mage to lead a small team to report to the little goblin Larrick.

Of course, the Larik people are a bit small-minded, but their vision is very accurate, and their training methods are amazing among the fairies.

If he provides basic training to the kobolds, it should make the kobolds' combat effectiveness somewhat better.

Kobolds are raised in a socialized manner. Everyone's eggs are gathered together and basic education is given after hatching.

A very good trait. In a high-pressure and high-risk living environment, there is always some way to take the wrong approach. This is easy to make a fuss about and is very convenient to train.

Taking Toby and a small group of the most "elite" kobolds away, Tang Zhao planned to find out the general situation this afternoon to avoid a long night and many dreams.

——

Deep in the forest, there are more resources.

Because of this, the deeper into Insura's territory, the fiercer the competition, and the stronger the competitors.

Following the kobolds, Tang Zhao had already caught a lot of strange smells in the air.

Some are recognizable and belong to powerful beasts such as grizzly bears, but most of them are unknown scents.

Tang Zhao didn't look easy to mess with, and he didn't appear to be trying to grab territory. Owners from all over the country didn't want to conflict with Tang Zhao. When they saw their group passing through their territory, most of the animals chose to remain silent.

It was exactly what Tang Zhao wanted, otherwise it would take God knows how long to fight them one by one.

The forest area was larger than they imagined, and it was not until late afternoon that they saw the outline of the mountains.
