Chapter 63: What was dug out
In the dark mine, Ji Xiaoyan held an oil lamp and led the way, with Brick in the middle and, of course, the falling leaves behind. At this moment, Fallen Leaves Fei Fei held in one hand a relatively high-quality staff selected from the gopher warehouse, and in the other hand held a large luminous stone. Of course, fortunately, the stone was not heavy. Otherwise he would definitely protest again.
After Dahe gave them a relatively bright luminous stone at Ji Xiaoyan's strong request and disappeared, Ji Xiaoyan assigned him tasks. She adds blood, lights, and is also responsible for protecting her brother Ji Xiaojin. Although Fallen Leaf Fenfei protested strongly, saying that an oil lamp would be enough for lighting, Ji Xiaoyan still refuted it with just one sentence.
"If you encounter a centipede and the oil lamp is broken, can you see it? Do you have night vision?"
So, Fallen Leaves Feifei had no choice but to hold the luminous stone honestly. Follow Brick obediently. Although he still complained a little about the marching position arranged by Ji Xiaoyan, he finally followed what Ji Xiaoyan said. There is no way, what the girl said makes sense!
"Among the three of us, you have the highest level. Logically speaking, you should be the one to protect us! But you are a priest, so you should stand behind and add more blood. It is probably impossible for us to expect you to fight! Between me and my brother, my brother has the lowest level and is more dangerous, so he goes in the middle, I go in the front, and you go in the end!" These are Ji Xiaoyan's exact words!
“Hey, Ji Xiaoyan, how far do we have to go?” Fallen Leaves Feifei felt as if we would never end in this endless darkness.
Ji Xiaoyan held up the oil lamp, stopped, turned around, and glanced at the fallen leaves that were reflected brightly by the luminous stones, and suddenly felt a little evil thought coming into his heart. You said that such a bright, luminous person stands in the darkness, how conspicuous it must be! Do you think those centipedes have eyes? Will they jump out and attack him? That was what he was thinking, but he still replied: "Let's go to the front and take a look!"
So, Ji Xiaoyan held up the lamp and started walking again. Fallen Leaves Fei had no choice but to curl his lips and follow.
It was very quiet in the mine. There were torches stuck on the walls of the mine tunnel at intervals. Every time Ji Xiaoyan met one, he would go up to see if it could be lit. But because they had been abandoned for so long, many of them were no longer usable, so I had to give up the idea of lighting lamps along the way and collected some of the torches that were still usable and put them in the package.
After making several turns along the mine road again, the falling leaves stopped, and after finding a flat place to sit down, he asked Ji Xiaoyan to take a rest!
Ji Xiaoyan glanced at him and silently despised him in her heart: A big man can't leave before she does! She hasn't even complained yet! However, when she saw the falling leaves, she really didn't want to leave. Ji Xiaoyan still stopped, pulled Brick to sit next to the falling leaves, and took out the golden mining hoe and the best package that Uncle Diwenge lent her, and found I found a piece of land that looked good and started digging.
After receiving the Centipede mission, Fallen Leaves Fei Fei completely forgot about what Ji Xiaoyan said at the beginning about going into the cave to mine and hand in the mission. Now I saw her digging the soil with a small and old hoe, and asked a little confused: "Are you mining? Isn't there a reward of 100 pieces of ore for completing this task?"
Ji Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at him , continued digging, "Don't we have to finish it? What if we don't finish it? Even if we finish it, can't I just dig some and sell it back?" She is now heavily in debt, and Old Man Robert has He still owes ten thousand gold coins plus interest.
The fallen leaves are falling silently, this girl is a money addict!
So, Ji Xiaoyan was mining on the side, and Brick was helping to pack the excavated ore and put it into the package of the best ore, while Luo Ye Fanfei watched them busy there with boredom!
"Pah, pah!" Two weak sounds rang in the mine.
Lu Ye Fei Fei immediately stood up in shock, holding the staff in his hand in a defensive posture, looking at the distant place where the light source could not reach. After a while, no more sound came. Everything is quiet.
"Hey, Ji Xiaoyan, did you hear those two sounds just now?" Luoye Fanfei asked worriedly.
Ji Xiaoyan continued digging without looking back, and then said: "I heard it! It seemed like the sound of stones falling on the ground!"
"Then don't you think it's strange?" Luo Ye Fenfei felt that his brain was not enough. In such a quiet mine, except for the sound of Ji Xiaoyan mining, there are basically no other sounds. Now suddenly there are two sounds of rolling stones. Even the most idiotic person would think there is something wrong! But why is this girl so calm?
“What’s so strange? Maybe I accidentally bumped into a centipede when it crawled over!”
“………….” Sister, since you have thought of this possibility Yes, why are you still so calm?
"What should we do?" Luo Ye Fenfei felt that he was the oldest among the three of them now. Therefore, although he was a priest, he still had to be vigilant to protect the two next to him who had no sense of crisis at all!
"How about you take the lamp and go to the front to have a look?" Ji Xiaoyan finally stopped what he was doing, turned his head towards the oil lamp and raised his chin.
The fallen leaves are flying again, and I feel like I am being exploited and oppressed! But for the sake of safety, I still decisively took the oil lamp and carefully took a few steps in the direction of the sound, but found nothing. So, after walking a long way and still finding nothing, he boldly walked back to Ji Xiaoyan, put the oil lamp on the ground, and sat down peacefully.
Ji Xiaoyan glanced at Lu Ye Fanfei who came back and said, "Did you find anything?" Luo Ye Fanfei glanced at her, shook his head, closed his eyes and went to rest.
Ji Xiaoyan found it boring, so he continued to fight with Brick in the mining industry. You know, this girl is holding such a golden ore hoe, and her speed is quite good! Of course, the attributes of the ore hoe itself are good. Instead of having attributes, it increases the probability of mining by 20%. Is there a 10% chance of improving the ore quality? So, when Ji Xiaoyan dug a big hole in the land she chose, she was digging something big.
"Hey, hey, Brie Xiaojin, come and help!" I almost shouted the wrong thing excitedly.
Brick hurried up, took out a mining hoe from the package, and helped Ji Xiaoyan dig the soil. The fallen leaves nearby opened their eyes curiously and came closer.
"Huh? Are you two brothers and sisters here to mine?" Luoye Fenfei looked at the mining hoe in Brick's hand in surprise. He had always thought that this man was accompanying his sister to mine. What about?
When Ji Xiaoyan heard this, he realized that Brick was also there digging the soil with a mining hoe. Since when did Brick get a mining hoe? "Xiao Jin, where did you get your mining hoe?"
"It was there before! When I didn't have the materials before, I always found ways to get them myself!" Brick looked at Ji Xiaoyan and said .
Ji Xiaoyan nodded in understanding. Brick had said before that he sometimes needed some ore when doing experiments, and old man Robert squeezed him again. I guess when this NPC had no materials before, he would go out and get them by himself!
"Your brother is a professional? Nowadays, it's not easy to practice professional skills!" It takes a lot of money to practice skills. Fallen Leaf Fanfei was thinking in his mind and researching, is Brick training as a blacksmith? Only blacksmiths need mines!
Ji Xiaoyan heard the fallen leaves flying and asked, but she didn't even look at him. She still buried her head in digging the big rock with Brick. Luo Ye Fanfei felt ignored and felt uncomfortable, so he stopped talking and squatted aside to see what the two brothers and sisters could dig out of the soil!
So, after Ji Xiaoyan and Brick's hard work, they finally dug out the stone from the soil. After it was dug out, the whole thing was as big as two footballs and very heavy! At the beginning, Ji Xiaoyan had no way to get it up, let alone the falling leaves. How powerful can a priest be? After trying a few times to hold him, he didn't move, so he squatted next to him to soothe his injured pride. In the end, Brick found a solution and found a bottle of unknown potion from the package. After taking a sip, he took the stone out of the pit by himself. Of course, Ji Xiaoyan also asked Brick what he was drinking, and the answer he got was a potion that could increase his strength 100 times in ten minutes. But there is no more in the bag, only this bottle. Ji Xiaoyan sighed regretfully and began to study the big stone.
"Do you think this is a piece of ore?" This is what Ji Xiaoyan is most concerned about. If it is such a big piece, if it is sold to the blacksmith uncles, they will definitely like it.
"It should be! It's very heavy!" This was tested by Brick himself.
"Don't you know it just by looking at the attributes?" Luo Ye Fenfei also ventured.
Ji Xiaoyan glanced at him, isn't this man squatting over there to complain? He sneered and turned his head to look at the properties of the stone.
Item name: Mithril raw stone (unrefined)
Item attributes: Integrated into weapons or equipment, it can improve attack power and defense capabilities, and increase durability.
(Note: This item is fatally attractive to many species that feed on ores. Please pack it in time.)
After Ji Xiaoyan finished reading, he was secretly congratulating himself on his good luck in digging up such a big piece of good stuff. While he was studying the meaning of the last note, he heard the fallen leaves flying beside him and said in surprise: "Yeah, this is What? Water? There is water in this mine!"
Ji Xiaoyan raised his head along with the falling leaves and looked up. It's pitch black and there's nothing there? As a result, Fallen Leaves Fanfei saw Ji Xiaoyan's suspicious eyes and became unconvinced. He walked to the oil lamp, bent down, picked it up, raised it to the top of his head, and looked up again. Then, the oil lamp went out immediately.
The only thing left in the mine is the shimmering light of the luminous stone. Luo Ye Fenfei swallowed a few times, his voice trembled, his head stiffened, he looked at Ji Xiaoyan and Brick beside him and said, "Xiao...Yan...that...you...see... That...is...what...?"
