“Boom Boom Boom!”

“Boom Boom Boom!”

“Boom Boom Boom!”

…

A series of loud noises and tremors were heard. A huge rock finally appeared on the wall of the magic ore vein.

The magic ore vein had no effect on the rock that appeared. It was as if the magic ore vein was like water to the rock.

Finally, a few minutes later, the huge rock fell to the ground. After a loud sound, dozens of rocks suddenly grew hands, feet, and a head. There were two blue flames on their heads.

Seeing the monster appeared, Li Yang pulled out his sword and said loudly, “Guys, let’s kill these b*stards!”

Luther took the lead and rushed over, followed by a series of loud sounds and endless smoke.

Li Yang sighed. It was expected of a Sky Knight.

The other farmer knights were not so relaxed. They saw Luke leading the remaining three farmer knights into a bitter battle.

The guards that they recruited previously were more powerful. When they fought the magic rock monsters, it was as easy as chopping vegetables. They could kill a magic rock monster with only a few hits.

At this moment, Arthur, who did not leave, came close to Li Yang’s ear and said, “Sir, these are the common monster companion of the magic ore veins. The strength of these magic rock monsters is proportional to the magic ore veins. They are usually level-1 or level-2 monsters. However, the rock monsters that we are fighting seems to be at the peak of Level-4!”

Li Yang was stunned. Fortunately, Arthur stayed behind. After all, he mined before, so he should know something when he encountered these things. It seemed like it was a wise decision to keep him.

“However, a level-4 magic rock monster is only average. It shouldn’t be a problem to take them down!”

Li Yang said calmly, and Arthur agreed with him.

More than twenty magic rock monsters were killed by Luther and the guards, as Li Yang hoped.

Luther walked over with everyone. “My lord, fortunately, we didn’t fail you. We took care of all the magic rock monsters!”

Li Yang hadn’t been happy for even a few minutes when the Cave of darkness shook violently again, accompanied by a loud noise.

“Rumble!”

“Rumble!”

“Rumble!”

…

The magic rock monster, which was smashed into pieces, automatically gathered into a ball. It then grew four limbs, a head and two blue flames. It was as if nothing happened before!

Seeing this, Luther led his men and charged back.

Arthur was stunned. Li Yang asked in confusion, “What happened, Arthur?”

“This… this… how is this possible!”

Arthur pointed at the magic rock monster in front of him and said while retreating. Finally, he sat on the ground.

Li Yang quickly helped Arthur up and asked, “What happened?”

“Sir, let’s give up on this magic ore vein!”

“Why?”

Li Yang asked with some confusion. After all, this was a good opportunity to get rich. They would never give up on this magic ore vein unless it were absolutely necessary.

“Sir, this is the legendary magic rock monster. Although these creatures are only at level-4, they can absorb energy from the entire magic ore vein. Therefore, they will constantly rebirth as long as the ore vein is not exhausted and that they are not far away from the magic ore vein!”

After listening to Arthur’s words, Li Yang suddenly felt a little frustrated. How much magic power was contained in such a large magic ore vein?

It was almost indestructible. This magic ore vein would be useless even if he was not afraid of killing this magic rock monster every day.

“Is there no other way?” Li Yang asked weakly.

“There is a way. The platoon of experts will guard here. The workers will dig without caring about their lives. When the magic rock monster appears, they will directly kill it. There will be a safety issue when the magic rock monster rebirths. However, the casualties of the workers will be very high if they ignore it!”

Arthur replied painfully. Although he knew that there was no other way, the empire in the past had risked the lives of the workers like that. Therefore, there was a saying in the world that every magic stone was made with blood.

At this time, Luther walked over and said, “Sir, I found the weakness of the magic rock monsters. They rebirth by relying on a magic core inside. I believe they will not rebirth as long as the core is broken!”

Hearing Luther’s words, Li Yang immediately became spirited and said, “Why don’t you break the magic rock monster’s core then?”

Luther spread his hands and said with some difficulty, “Sir, it’s not that I don’t want to break it, but the core has a magic shield, and the magic shield’s magic power comes from the magic ore vein. Combat aura will only be consumed if we used it and their magic power supply is almost infinite unless the magic power of this magic ore vein is exhausted!”

Hearing Luther’s words, Li Yang rolled his eyes in anger. This was no different from what Arthur said earlier. He has killed the magic rock monster until it rebirthed and exhausted its magic power.

“Sir, of course, if someone attacked the core of the magic rock monster with a martial technique, it would be possible, but this required very, very powerful strength.”

When Li Yang heard it, he suddenly had no choice. Luther’s martial technique was ascetic. In the two-dimensional world, other than mages who practiced magic, knights who practiced combat aura, and the most mysterious ascetic did not practice magic power and combat aura. They absorbed two types of energy to forge their own martial techniques instead.

“Sigh, is there no way…”

Before Li Yang could finish his sentence, the magic rock monster at the side rebirthed.

When Li Yang was about to say that he was going to retreat, a guard team member stood out. He drew his sword, and a dazzling sword light flashed.

“Rumble”

“Rumble”

“Rumble”

There was a loud noise followed by boiling smoke. The smoke dissipated a few minutes later, and all the magic rock monsters fell to the ground. The black core shattered, and there were no signs of rebirth.

“This…”

Arthur looked shocked and could not believe it. Was he dreaming?

“This… this…”

Luther was also so shocked that he could not speak. Li Yang, who was at the side, turned to look at Luther in a daze and asked, “What kind of strength is this?”

“It’s at least a sword saint level martial skill. Perhaps it’s even higher!”

Luther replied with a trembling voice. After the guards at the side dealt with the monsters, they returned to the team.

Li Yang slowly walked forward and asked, “Is this the strength of my farm’s guards? Are you possessed?”

“My Lord, what is possessed?”
