Chapter 28 - The Truth of the Ruins

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There were quite a few mining carts around here, but not many had stock. There were only four or five left.

Jiang Chen pocketed all of them and also harvested quite a few ore-type materials.

“Iron 185x obtained, copper 65x obtained, mithril 32x, elementary elemental crystal 11x obtained, elementary earth crystal 13x, stone 387x obtained.”

This mine was a good place. Just picking up these few mining carts was already a worthwhile trip.

In addition, new materials appeared in this batch of ore materials.

“Elementary earth crystal! The power source of magic technology, the necessary material to drive magic products.”

“Magical technology?”

“Regardless of whether this type of elemental crystal has attributes or not, it’s like a type of energy in this world. It’s a good thing that can be used in all fields.”

Jiang Chen knew what to do and continued to advance.

After advancing several hundred meters, there were no ore carts filled with minerals around him.

At this moment, sparse spider webs began to appear on both sides of the walkway.

These spiderwebs occupied the corners of the tunnel.

In addition, Jiang Chen also saw a large oval egg that was about a meter tall with green spots.

This large egg had already hatched. There was a large gap at the top, and egg shells were scattered all around it.

In front, the first exit of the tunnel appeared. It seemed to be a large underground hall.

“Good heavens, I’ve entered the coiling silk cave.”

The Red Tooth beneath him suddenly felt a bit uneasy.

He hummed repeatedly, his front foot only stood still, unwilling to advance any further.

It seemed to be very wary of the underground hall ahead.

Unfortunately, it couldn’t speak and was so anxious that it was spinning in circles.

“Parker, take two men and go ahead and take a look at the situation.”

Jiang Chen waved his hand and arranged for the wolf cavalry soldier to act as scouts. He could already confirm that a portion of the mine had already been occupied by some spiders.

Since they were able to cause Red Tooth to be extremely wary of them, they could also pose a serious threat to Jiang Chen.

Not to mention that these spiders had obviously been entrenched here for a long time and had long since spread out.

If his luck wasn’t good, he might even be able to meet three generations of their descendants..

Parker rode on the giant wolf and carried a torch as he received the order.

Under the light of the fire, two figures advanced quickly.

The spiderwebs on both sides of the tunnel along the way began to grow more and more.

Some of the spiderwebs were damaged, and strands of them drooped down to one side, blowing up as the wolf cavalry passed by.

After entering the hall, Jiang Chen could faintly see through the firelight that the entire hall had been roughly divided into two sections: left and right,

the right side was covered with cobwebs, densely packed, and almost completely blocked off half of the hall.

The other side was slightly more refreshing.

Parker walked around the hall once, but didn’t act rashly and quickly retreated back.

He reported the situation to Jiang Chen.

“Your Lordship, there are two different passageways in the hall ahead, one on the left and one on the right.”

“The hall on the right is almost covered in cobwebs, and there are many traces of battle in the hall on the left. In addition, large amounts of bones and scattered weapons and equipment have been discovered.”

“Some are from humans, and some seem to be from other humanoid creatures.”

Parker rode the giant wolf and reported in a serious manner.

Jiang Chen’s brows furrowed slightly.

“Humanoid creatures?”

He hated these forked paths the most.

However, it was still normal for the paths to split in such an ancient mine.

“Let’s go in and take a look.”

Jiang Chen waved his hand and pointed to the end of the mine path.

He patted Red Tooth’s head gently.

The group advanced once more, and the atmosphere began to tense up.

In such a dark mine, one could feel an infinite amount of pressure.

Jiang Chen could feel the muscles on Red Tooth’s back gradually tense up.

This was a sign of extreme nervousness.

Red Tooth was a level seven blood-fang tiger and was an overlord amongst his peers. However, he was extremely fearful of the interior of the mine. It was obvious that he had suffered a bit before.

When everyone stepped into the hall, they realized that the situation was more complicated than they had expected.

The entire floor of the hall was covered with a layer of spider webs.

These spider webs were very tough.

When everyone stepped on them, they felt an additional layer of restraint under their feet.

The right side was even more terrifying. Everything was covered by the spider webs.

In addition, there were many corpses. These corpses were very complete. After being covered, they formed strange bumps.

What a terrifying spiderweb nest!

It was even scarier than a horror movie.

Just as everyone was observing, sounds of fighting and screams came from the left side of the hall, the side of the tunnel that hadn’t been completely covered by the spiderweb.

“Bang!”

“Hiss…”

There were occasional flashes of light and shadows in the tunnel.

Everyone held their breaths and prepared themselves for battle!

“Be careful and be on guard. Pay attention to the top of your head.”

Jiang Chen surveyed his surroundings and raised his shield and sword. He wasn’t afraid of a frontal attack. His only worry was that he’d be ambushed!

The sounds of battle soon died down.

Following that, there were some strange and terrifying sounds of dragging and crawling.

Everyone turned their gazes to the left side of the hall.

They saw several dark shadows of different sizes appear from the left tunnel.

They’re coming, they’re coming!

Parker’s giant wolf was a little uneasy. It bared its teeth at the tunnel on the left side of the hall.

The shadows were getting closer and closer until they left the left tunnel and entered the hall.

Three two-meter-tall monsters with eight-legged spiders on their lower bodies and humanoid monsters on their upper bodies slowly walked out.

There were circles of strange patterns on their huge bellies, and at the end, there was a huge spiderweb. It was bulging as if something was wriggling and struggling,

these were the so-called spiderweb monsters.

In addition, there were a few small spiderweb monsters that were only half of their height.

All of the spiderweb monsters had eight legs and a huge belly. Their upper bodies were like humans, with a pair of arms.

The big spiderweb monsters had two oddly-shaped, single-edged swords in each arm.

The small spiderweb monsters held two sharp, fang-shaped daggers.

They had no nose on their faces, eight eyes lined up on both sides, and their mouths looked like spiders..
