"Aton, you take the drow spirit to investigate and be careful of the monsters here!" Suellen looked at the crack in front of him and said.
"Yes, sir!" Aton nodded, then flashed into the darkness with several drow elves.
After entering the passage, there is no fluorescent moss, the light is dimmer, and the road is rugged. Many places can only accommodate one person. And from time to time along the way, you can see the bodies of some monsters. Some of these monsters are ordinary beasts and some are mutant creatures.
However, there is basically no difference for these drow elves. Aton is now the drow elves at the top of the fourth level, and the remaining drow elves are elite. It is not difficult to deal with these monsters.
After walking in the narrow passage for about 15 minutes, the deeper into the underground space, the wider the passage becomes, and some fluorescent moss appears again in the passage.
"Sir, we found some traces of underground orcs here!" Aton's figure emerged from the shadow.
As a Ranger, Aton has good tracking ability. There is little difference between underground orcs and surface orcs, just like surface dwarves and grey dwarves. They are cousins, but closer.
The strength of the underground orcs is stronger than that of the surface orcs. The general radiation of the underground world makes their bodies mutate, their bodies become stronger, and their height has reached two meters and three meters. However, because of the radiation, they are more ferocious and cruel than their cousins.
These underground orcs do not produce and rely on looting for a living. They are cannibal intelligent creatures. They are also notorious in the underground world. When they grow up, underground orcs almost have Knight level combat power. They generally operate in small groups.
Underground orcs are not strong labor for nothing. They are two meters and three meters tall and powerful. They are very good choices for mining or building roads. As for their cruel character? The traditional training skills of the drow Elves will teach them to work hard. If they can't, they can also throw it to Chris. Even the Tauren can control the magic of the little demon, not to mention these orcs.
"Don't worry about them now. It's important to find a gold mine." Su Lun said after scanning the strategic map: "after finding the gold mine, clean up these monsters around. As for the orcs, catch them as coolies!"
In just a few seconds, Suellen had decided the future fate of these underground orcs.
When I came here, the width of the passage was about 10 meters, and there were several wide underground cavities connecting the passage. Some mushroom plants grew luxuriantly in the cave, and the water vapor in the air was relatively high. Obviously, there was an underground river around. Many underground mosses and underground mushrooms grew in the damp corner of the passage, where many plants were poisonous.
Because of the radiation environment, many special enchanted plants grow in the underground world. Every time, the Wizards of the north wind tower will come here to collect some magic drugs. The magic medicine produced by Beifeng tower is very popular in Beidi, but the quantity has been limited. Those wizard apprentices in Zhenbei city have been too busy to touch the ground and need to deal with a lot of materials every day.
During this time, five more high-level wizards were added to the north wind tower, and the production of magic drugs increased a lot, but the supply was still in short supply.
"There are creatures approaching!"
There was a rustling sound in the dark. Suellen stopped. Aton immediately disappeared in the dark with several other drow elves. Soon a sound of battle came, and then a scream was heard, which was like a signal. Soon, the screams began to ring one after another.
A few minutes later, all the drow elves returned to the team. There were no wounds on them, only a strong smell of blood and a faint murderous spirit. Aton bowed to Suellen and said, "master, it's a group of claw fearing demons, which have been completely cleared."
Su Lun nodded and said, "keep moving!"
The grey dwarf who led the team hurried forward and subconsciously dodged when passing by Aton. Obviously, he was afraid of these drow elves.
When they came out of the passage, they came to a huge underground cavity. After coming here, sulun soon saw some exposed ores, but the quantity was small and the quality seemed not high. However, since the ores appeared in these days, it showed that there was a vein here. It's just not sure what this vein is for the time being.
Su Lun asked the grey dwarf nearby to collect some minerals. Under the light of the torch, these minerals glittered with gold and looked shining. With the falling of the ore pick, the gravel splashed and the jingling sound came. Soon, a grey dwarf dug out the ore and respectfully sent it to Su Lun.
"Sir, this should be a piece of pyrite, also known as fool's gold!" the grey dwarf handed over a piece of golden octahedral mineral and said excitedly.
Su Lun looked at the pyrite in front of him in some surprise. If he judged it only by his eyes, it was really difficult to tell whether it was pyrite rather than gold.
Pyrite is a golden luster Granular Mineral. Its appearance is very similar to that of gold mine, so it is also called fool gold. In the face of this metal, even some old miners will be cheated by it. Reaching out to pick up the pyrite, Su Lun found that some metal particles showed a very regular cube shape, just like they were specially polished manually, which is the difference between pyrite and gold mine.
Seeing this fool's gold, Suellen was not angry, but somewhat happy. There is a famous saying among the dwarves, 'fool gold can only fool the fool, not the wise.' Although this metal is not gold, it is the 'tracer' of gold!
When the dwarves explore various minerals, they find that this kind of fool's gold often appears in the same area as gold. That is to say, as long as fool's gold is found, there is a 70% chance of finding gold near this vein. Therefore, in the eyes of experienced miners, as long as fool's gold is found, they can often find gold.
Now sulun and his party have found pyrite here, which shows that there are gold mines around. The grey dwarf miner did not lie.
"If you find the fool's gold, the real gold is not far away!" Su Lun threw away the pyrite and continued, "let's go and seize the time to find gold!"
Squeak!
A disorderly sound like the sound of insects came from the distance, and the faces of the grey dwarfs nearby changed.
"My Lord, this is the sound of the knell beetle. It should have been the movement during our mining just now!" Aton came up and said.
"Sir, knell beetles usually live in groups. Should we avoid them?" Aton looked around and said.
Suellen shook his head and directly rejected Aton's proposal. Are you kidding? Don't want the mounts sent to the door? The knell beetle is a large beetle, which inherits the aggregation life of insects. Generally, there are 50 knell beetles in a nest. Usually, the knell beetle has a bright red hard shell and is highly defensive.
Without preparation, even the strong men of the underground world such as the grey dwarf and the drow Elves will not provoke them. The knell beetle's two evil claws swayed in front of its four black round eyes and serrated jaws. There is also a horn like horny bulge on its head. This bulge will release a kind of sound wave, which can be used for attack or treatment.
The challenge level of a single knell beetle is level 10, but when the number of knell beetles hides, even the Knight Commander or title Knight will retreat. This monster has a talent ability, [earth shaking and mountains shaking]. They can use sound waves to cause ground shaking and deformation.
In Su Lun's view, this ability is to use the resonance effect without using much force. As long as it agrees the frequency of the sound wave with the frequency of the surrounding ground, it can easily shake and deform the ground. If the number of knell beetles is enough, they can even trigger a small earthquake.
In the underground world, few people will take the initiative to provoke groups of knell beetles.
However, although the knell beetles are powerful, their IQ is very low. They are almost no different from other insects, and even lower than other insects.
This situation makes it possible for the knell beetle to be domesticated, but at present, no underground race has been successfully domesticated.
"Coming!" a flash of thunder flashed in Suellen's eyes!
As soon as the voice fell, the rocks on the ground suddenly bulged, and then a huge creature with legs and a red shell like a beetle appeared in front of everyone. It has two sharp pliers, huge mouthparts all over fangs, a horn on its head and a imprisoned shell on its body. Its body diameter is more than one meter. It looks ferocious and terrible.
"Be careful, my Lord!" at the moment of the death knell beetle, Aton stood in front of Suellen, a Sharp Machete appeared in his hand, and looked warily at the big guy in front of him.
"Chris, control them!" Su Lun ordered directly. Compared with the wizard's domination of monsters, Chris's charm is more useful, and the strengthened charm talent effect is very powerful.
Chris smiled, and a whip appeared in her hand. Her toes gently jumped into the air, and a pair of demon wings appeared behind her. Chris rowed gracefully in the air. The whip in her hand beat the death knell beetle with a ball of thunder light, and the thunder light flashed away in its body, The body of the attacking knell beetle suddenly stopped.
Close to Chris without stopping, her body quickly flew back, and the whip in her hand beat on more knell beetles.
