Chapter 857: The Temporary Worker Returns

The five adventurers became excited and immediately surrounded Robb, saying, Sir, can you sell us that metal detector ring of yours? We want to use it to find minerals.

Robb looked hesitant and replied, Its a family heirloom, so I cant sell it. However, I can use this secret treasure to help you locate all the mineral deposits on the map. Then you wont need the metal detector.

The five adventurers were pleased with this offer. The warrior quickly suggested, Alright, help us mark the locations of the minerals, and when we find rare minerals and receive a reward from Godfather, well share a portion with you.

Robb felt secretly delighted. Finally, he had found a few reliable workers. How satisfying!

He pretended to use the ruby ring, and after a series of dazzling lights, all the maps presented by the five adventurers were marked by Robb. It had to be said that the mineral resources in the Jinghong mountains were truly abundant. Perhaps when this mountain range was formed, the earths crust was violently squeezed and surged, resulting in a vast array of minerals scattered throughout.

The map was quickly filled with numerous markings.

The five adventurers glanced at the map and couldnt help but gasp, So many locations? Even if we walk until our legs break, we might not be able to explore all of them.

Robb said, Yes, I also think its too many. It would take an individual or even a team forever to explore all these points. So, lets not be greedy and try to do it alone. Lets find some friends to help. Each team can be responsible for mining in a specific area. That way, we can quickly explore all these points.

The five adventurers discussed in low voices. After a while, they reached a consensus. They decided to search on their own and try to find as many points as possible. Additionally, they would call some friends from the adventurers guild who had good connections to join them. If they found good ores, everyone would share the profits. After all, Godfather was always generous, and even with more people involved, they would still make a fortune.

Robb secretly rejoiced by the side. This was much more convenient than personally searching.

Just then, Robb suddenly noticed a group of monsters emerging from a slope 5000 yards away in the northeast. There werent many of them, just about a dozen, but in the middle of the group was a huge minotaur carrying a stone pillar on its shoulder. It was clearly a powerful creature.

The group of monsters was heading in their direction, moving quickly. They covered a few hundred yards in just a few minutes. As they reached a distance of 4500 yards, the hunter among the five adventurers noticed them and immediately spoke up, Everyone, be alert! A group of monsters has appeared 4500 yards northeast of us. There are a total of fourteen, with a minotaur leading the way, heading straight towards us.

The other four adventurers eyes instantly sharpened.

The priest asked, What should we do?

The warriors shield blocked the minotaurs stone pillar. From behind another tree, the earth magician appeared and cast Rockfall!

A massive boulder descended from the sky, crashing onto the minotaurs head, leaving him disoriented.

Next, the thief suddenly appeared behind the minotaur, and his dagger ruthlessly struck the minotaurs vital spot in the chest.

The warrior then stepped forward and executed a Shield Bash, striking the minotaurs chest with a loud impact.

Although the minotaur was formidable, these adventurers were also incredibly powerful. Each of them had great strength, and the minotaur could only withstand a few attacks before finally collapsing to the ground with a loud crash.

The group of monsters were swiftly defeated.

The thief began rummaging through the pockets of the fallen monsters, searching for anything valuable. The warrior gestured towards where Robb and Suofa were hiding and said, You can come out now.

Robb and Suofa emerged, hand in hand, and applauded. Great job, everyone, Robb said.

Huh? What do you mean by great job? What do you mean by everyone? a puzzled adventurer asked.

Oh, I meant you were all very powerful, Robb quickly corrected himself.

Daring to travel here requires some skill, the warrior replied without any modesty, dismissing the term very powerful. After speaking, his expression turned serious, and he turned to his companions. Did you all hear what those monsters were saying?

His companions nodded in response.

The warriors face filled with anger. Our rulers in Norma have gone crazy again. That video that was leaked last time caused a storm of anger in our adventurers guild. The Church even claimed that the Archbishop of the Kingdom of Gran was just a temporary worker. Whats going on now? Are the temporary workers back again?
