Chapter 856: Metal Detector

Chapter 856: Metal Detector

Robbs words completely dispelled the warriors concerns. He waved to the others beside him, and soon the other four people emerged from their hiding spots. The hunter, thief, magician, and priest, the five-person team, all looked at Robb and Suofa with curious eyes.

How much will you pay? the thief spoke up.

Robb said, Dont let my carefree appearance fool you. My family in the Kingdom of Gran is very wealthy. If you can ensure our safety, I will pay you fifty gold coins.

Fifty gold coins? The five adventurers were instantly delighted. Although the thief still had some doubts, Robb was wearing a pair of T-shirt and jeans, which looked rather peculiar, and Suofa was dressed as an assassin, concealing her equipment, making it difficult for the adventurers to determine if they had money or not.

However, from Robbs mannerisms, they could tell that this guy wasnt poor.

Alright, the deal is done, the warrior reached out his hand and shook hands with Robb. Until when do we need to protect you?

Robb replied, It wont be for long. We just need to avoid getting hurt. Let us follow behind you until you leave this mountain range and reach a safe place.

The warrior pondered for a moment. It seemed fine to have these two people follow them. It wouldnt hinder their own tasks.

Robb pretended to ask, What are you all doing in this mountain range?

The warrior smiled, Were here to search for rare minerals.

That was exactly the answer Robb wanted. He had seen from afar that these five individuals seemed to be searching for minerals. Thats why he intentionally came over with a bunch of nonsense. Now that the topic had shifted, he could finally ask, Searching for minerals?

Yes! the warrior laughed. If youre not an adventurer, you probably dont know the biggest recent event in the Adventurers Guild. Its the Godfather of Westwind City. After witnessing the capital of the Desert Kingdom being ravaged by the black dragon, he was furious! On the spot, he announced a super commission, offering a huge sum of money to purchase rare minerals to create the strongest equipment to eliminate the black dragon.

Godfather is always generous in his dealings. The amount of money hes willing to offer is enough to entice anyone more than any other commission. Now, adventurers from all over the world are desperately completing this world-class commission.

Robb was sweating. What? Is this true? Thinking carefully, oh, right! Chapter 843, the last sentence. But I never said I would offer a huge sum of money!

Well, usually, I give rewards generously without considering the amount. Everyone just assumes my commission will pay well.

Oh, you dont believe me? Let me show you. Robb held the ring and pretended to use it. A beam of golden light burst forth from the ring, blinding everyone. The five adventurers couldnt help but close their eyes. Seizing the opportunity while they had their eyes shut, Robb quickly marked a few spots on the map. This was a unique function in the game, allowing players to add markers and even write notes. However, Robb only added markers without any notes this time.

When the five adventurers opened their eyes again, they saw three areas on the map glowing red, emitting a mysterious magical light.

Whats this?

What are these strange marks on the map?

Although the five adventurers were experienced, they had never encountered the marker function in the game, so they couldnt comprehend it.

Robb explained, These are the locations of the minerals that the Metal Detector has found for you. Why dont you go and take a look? Then youll know if my Metal Detector is effective or not.

The five adventurers exchanged glances, half-believing and half-doubting, but in situations like this, it was better to believe there was something than to believe there was nothing.

They chose the nearest marked point and hurried towards it. Robb and Suofa followed behind. In no time, they arrived at the location, which was just a stretch of the yellow earth plateau with nothing else.

The adventurers became even more skeptical!

Robb said, Minerals wouldnt typically be exposed on the surface. Try digging down.

The thief in the group was about to make a sarcastic comment, but the son of the miner stepped forward and caught the thiefs words. He said, This gentleman is right. Minerals wouldnt be easily exposed on the surface for anyone to pick up. Its only natural to dig underground.

He turned to the magician and said, Would you please?

The magician nodded and pointed his staff at the ground, casting a spell. Earth Rupture!

To their surprise, the magician turned out to be quite an advanced earth magic user. With a thud of his staff, the ground split open, creating a crack that was several meters deep. It seemed that his magical power was quite formidable.

The warrior jumped down into the pit and felt around. Suddenly, he shouted with excitement, This is iron ore! Its iron ore! Even though this ore is not very valuable, the Metal Detector is indeed effective. Its amazing!
