The Blackstone Mountain Mine is a large black iron ore vein, and is also accompanied by rare minerals such as cloud copper. However, according to Ou Ming, rare metals such as cloud copper have been mined long ago, and even the black iron veins
They are also deep underground. After the Blackstone Mountain mines were occupied by the demons, the city lord's mansion sent several troops to encircle and suppress them, but it was mainly to prevent the demons from attacking Blackwood City. Later, it was discovered that the demons did not attack Blackstone after they occupied Blackstone Mountain.
Blackwood City attacked, so Blackwood City no longer sent troops to encircle and suppress it, because sending out a large army to recapture the Blackstone Mountain Mine, which was almost exhausted, was not worth the gain in the eyes of the Blackwood City Lord's Mansion.
And the fact is just as Ou Ming said, Yue Ran has been searching in the mine tunnel for a long time. Not to mention large veins, not even a black iron slag has been found. In the entire mine tunnel, except for black stones, there is nothing.
No.
Yue Ran specifically chose the downhill mine tunnels to walk, heading all the way towards the deepest mine tunnels.
After a long time, when Yue Ran felt as if he had gone a hundred meters deep into the ground, he finally found traces of black iron ore.
This is the end of a mineral vein. There is no road ahead. Yue Ran found a trace of black stone shining with metallic light on the stone wall at the end. There is no doubt that this is black iron ore, exactly as described in "Mineral Identification"
.If you don’t look carefully, it will completely blend in with the surrounding black stones.
Finally found it, Yue Ran took out the miner's hoe without any delay and started digging into the hard black stone.
He chipped away the surrounding black stones little by little, and the area of black iron ore displayed in front of Yue Ran became larger and larger. In the end, after Yue Ran dug out a piece of black iron ore that was nearly the size of a football, there was no more black iron.
traces.
After putting the piece of black iron ore into the space ring, Yue Ran tried to dig inside the stone wall. Finally, after digging two or three pieces of black iron ore, he could no longer find it.
Yue Ran exited this mine tunnel, randomly chose a mine tunnel at the next fork and walked in again. Yue Ran did not memorize the route, nor did he make any signs, because the demon soldiers had been alerted before entering the mine tunnel, then
Where do you have time to mark it? And even if you mark it, the entrance to the mine must have been surrounded by demon soldiers, making it impossible to get out.
Yue Ran just dug bit by bit. Sometimes, a few pieces of black iron could be found in a mine tunnel, but sometimes not even a single piece of black iron could be found. There was not even a trace of black iron.
It was almost midnight, but the black iron ore that Yue Ran dug was less than a quarter of the space ring. This yield was too low, but fortunately, the black iron ore was not as needed as ordinary iron ore.
Purification, every piece of black iron ore dug out is extremely pure, and now the black iron ore owned by Yue Ran can be used to make a set of full-body armor and a large sword, which can be made into a suit.
Of course, under the condition that nothing goes wrong.
After finding nothing again in one mine tunnel, Yue Ran retreated and entered another mine tunnel. This mine tunnel was much larger than the other mine tunnels, and the tracks of the wheels could still be vaguely seen on the ground. This
It is the main mine tunnel, and the place where the main mine tunnel leads must be the place with the highest ore vein output. Yue Ran was delighted that he finally found the main mine tunnel.
At this time, his torch was almost burned out and the firelight became much weaker, but Yue Ran did not replace it in order to stay in the mine tunnel long enough.
"call!"
Yue Ran was walking casually in the mine tunnel when a sound of wind came, followed by a sharp scream caused by a sharp weapon passing through the air. He dodged and saw a spear thrust into the place where Yue Ran was just standing, because
With the huge impact, the tip of the spear was completely inserted into the ground, and the tail was still trembling.
Demon soldiers!
In a dark environment, the eyesight of demons is much stronger than that of humans.
Yue Ran did not turn around and leave, but rushed forward, because if it were a large group of demon soldiers, as long as they were not too stupid, they would definitely take advantage of Heiye's excellent eyesight to sneak up on him, and finally kill him
Surrounded, I couldn't even run away at that time.
Soon, three demon soldiers appeared in Yue Ran's field of vision. The first thing Yue Ran saw was their pupils with purple light!
Having the experience of killing demon soldiers before, Yue Ran naturally dealt with the three demon soldiers with ease this time. Then, after plundering their meager possessions, he continued to walk deeper into the main mine tunnel.
go.
This main mine tunnel seemed to attract the attention of the demons. There were guards in twos and threes every not far away. Yue Ran eliminated them one by one. At the same time, doubts arose in his heart as to why this main mine tunnel would allow the demons to escape.
Is the clan so caring?
There are no demon guards in other mining tunnels, and the entire Blackstone Mountain mine has not been mined for a long time. This shows that the demons are not interested in the black iron ore, so why are there demon guards in this main mine tunnel?
What? Is there something at the end of the mine tunnel that is important to the demons?
Yue Ran was very curious and wanted to find out.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps came from the front. Yue Ran was shocked, because he could tell from the footsteps that they were a whole group of demon soldiers.
Moreover, the footsteps were getting closer to him. Yue Ran dodged and hid in the mine tunnel next to him, while keeping a certain distance from the main mine tunnel. This was to prevent the demons who were smarter than dogs from smelling the human traces on them.
breath.
Soon, Yue Ran heard the sound of a large group of people entering the main mine tunnel. It seemed that the guards he had killed had been discovered, and the demons began to strengthen the guards.
It is impossible to enter the end of the main mine tunnel to find out what is going on this time. We can only see if there is another chance next time. Although Yue Ran really wants to see what is in the main mine tunnel that is favored by the demons.
, but nothing is as important as life.
Yue Ran walked down this mine tunnel and started mining again.
One night passed quickly, and Yue Ran finally dug nearly half a cubic meter of black iron ore. Although he was unwilling to do so, Yue Ran had no choice but to give up because he didn't have much food and water.
Walking in the mine tunnel, Yue Ran decided to return to the city after completing the mine tunnel. At this time, he had reached the deepest part of the Blackstone Mountain mine.
All the way down, this mine tunnel seemed to be longer than before. It took a long time to walk without reaching the end. Just when Yue Ran wanted to give up, something suddenly opened up before his eyes.
This is an underground hall.
The floor of the hall is very flat, but there are countless cracks on the ground. The widest crack is two meters wide. On the broken ground, etched lines can be vaguely seen.
This is the underground hall Ou Ming mentioned!
Having actually come here, Yue Ran couldn't help but sigh, having actually reached the deepest part of the Black Rock Mountain Mine. Yue Ran walked towards the middle of the hall, and the fire gradually illuminated the entire hall.
"This is? Black iron ore! Such a big piece of black iron ore!"
In the middle of the underground hall, there was a nearly one-meter-high cylinder made of black iron ore, with intricate inscriptions carved on it. However, these inscriptions, which were like heavenly books, were damaged in many places, but such a large piece of black iron ore was damaged in many places.
The iron ore was enough to amaze Yue Ran.
But the surprises didn't end there. Immediately afterwards, Yue Ran discovered an ore only the size of a broad bean at the top of the black iron ore.
Although this ore was small, it gave off a faint black light, which was very different from ordinary black iron ore. Yue Ran tried to hold it, and found that it was much heavier than expected.
Yue Ran clearly remembered that Ou Ming obtained the Black Iron Mother Essence in the middle of the underground hall!
Could this be the newly grown black iron mother spirit? Yue Ran was not sure, because there was no record in the elementary book "Mineral Identification". However, with the wonders of this ore, Yue Ran naturally did not hesitate.
After putting it away, the one-meter-high black iron naturally could not be given up.
After putting these two things into the space ring, Yue Ran finally filled the space ring. Looking at the black iron ore that was full of space rings, Yue Ran seemed to see countless gold coins shining brightly.
The way back is very simple. Instead of going deep into the mine, as long as you choose the uphill mine tunnels, there will always be one that leads to the exit.
The only problem is that if the exit is at a gathering place of demons like when you came in, it will be troublesome, and you need to go back and choose a new path.
This was extremely time-consuming, and Yue Ran could only pray that the goddess of luck would favor him and allow him to find a safe exit earlier.
At the first exit, Yue Ran discovered the guards in time, and there were many of them, so he had no choice but to retreat.
At the second exit, Yue Ran found that there were only two guards. After killing them, he found that he was in a large gathering place and had no choice but to retreat.
The third one is still guarded.
the fourth......
After discovering the guard again at the seventh exit, Yue Ran went crazy. Who knows how many more luck-like attempts he would have to make to get out?
In anger, Yue Ran stopped trying one by one, but made a big turn in the mine tunnel and chose another direction.
The time reached noon as Yue Ran tried again and again. And Yue Ran finally found the exit.
After discovering the guard at the exit again, Yue Ran stepped back from the door. While walking back, Yue Ran accidentally discovered the bright light above his head. Although it was only a small hole the size of a fist, it made Yue Ran
The surprise is inexplicable. After a long period of fruitless attempts, anyone who can hope for something will be pleasantly surprised.
Yue Ran climbed up quickly and used a miner's hoe to dig out small holes bit by bit. Fortunately, it was still not far from the exit, and Yue Ran was not afraid that the sound would alert the guards at the door.
When Yue Ran was disgraced, he finally dug out a hole just big enough for one person to enter. Yue Ran held up his hands and stuck his head out of the hole.
This cave entrance is halfway up a hill, and on the flat ground below the mountain is a large gathering place of demons. Fortunately, it is noon, and demons have dark attributes. At noon, when the sun is strongest,
, they all hid in tents, and even the guards at the mine entrance hid in the mine tunnel. Yue Ran was not worried about being discovered by the demons.
Quickly digging out of the cave, Yue Ran crossed the hill and hid out of sight of the demon gathering place. Then he went all the way north and returned to the sentry tower where he entered Blackstone Mountain.
There are already new demon soldiers stationed in the sentry tower, and it is already dusk. Yue Ran naturally will not go to trouble those demon soldiers. After all, there is not much money to be made, so why waste time.
After bypassing the sentry tower, Yue Ran was spotted by the observers on the sentry tower. Naturally, he ignored the pursuers behind him and walked directly out of Black Rock Mountain. The demon soldiers gave up after chasing him for a while.
It was getting dark. It was extremely unwise to rush in the dark, so Yue Ran went offline. It had been a full day and night in the game, and six hours had passed in real time. At this moment, Yue Ran was already hungry.
