Chapter 470: Abandoned Mine
"Another troublesome day" Michael mumbled as he ran towards their campsite.
"A few more days and I'll be finally out of here"
Thinking out loud, Michael had those positive thoughts while returning to the campground. He was already tired of looking at the same scenery and people every morning and at the same time, he was also worried about his progress in the game, especially the village under his rule since his time playing the game while on the island is very limited.
Though the continuous presence of the Flame Rose Guild at the Snow Village at least slightly ease his worries as he didn't need to worry about the safety of the village since he couldn't really rely on that Frost Dragon living inside the village to help if the village gets raided again.
His worries are unfounded though as the village has been able to survive by itself even before he discovered it.
Michael is just being a worry wart because of boredom on the island since humans of today wouldn't really know how to live their life for even a day without the comfort of technology today.
Like who would even want to go back to the time of the Medieval Age.

"Finally, after running around all day yesterday. I finally found one"
[Abandoned Mine (S)]
A small mine that has been sitting abandoned for many years. Mining ores can only be left up to your luck since the ore vein has long since dried up.
Be careful of monsters inside.
Reading the description floating before her, Solitary Tempest only said the following words, "Well...at least I managed to find one"
Looking around her surroundings, Solitary Tempest immediately made her way inside the mine while mumbling to herself, "I should explore it quickly and see if I can set up an ambush inside before that annoying thief catches up to me"
"And since when did the game produce such an abnormal player?"
[You really shouldn't have joined Michael's Guild. It wasn't even that long when their guild was created but it had already made many enemies and now you're also being hounded by a lot of them! If it wasn't because they also have allied guilds with them, then they would become this game's number enemy!]
"[Yeah, yeah, anyway, I gotta go Jen, I'll see you later!]"
Solitary Tempest just smiled soon after that, as she also understands Jenny's frustrations. Indeed, she also had a lot of enemies back then and it wasn't the first time she was hunted down, but her joining The Revenant's Guild had doubled or maybe even tripled those numbers!
If it wasn't because she was a skilled player and she tends to travel to more dangerous places, then she would have died hundreds of times already from always getting surrounded and worse, getting spawn camped soon after!
"Aren't these..Luminous Crystals? Was this place abandoned in a hurry and they didn't even bother extracting these things?" Solitary Mumbled to herself as she slowly made her way in the center of the brightly lit cavern that's coming from the crystals protruding from the earth in every corner of the cavern.
[Luminous Crystals]
A somewhat rare ore that miraculously emits light in the dark, and the bigger they are, the brighter the light they emit. They are very fragile so they must be handled with care when being extracted.
As the description had mentioned, they are very rare crystals as their purpose is similar to light bulbs in the real world, and due to the usefulness of their properties along with their rarity, only royalties and nobles or rich people can afford them.
"Though not as expensive as Mithril, they are still valuable. It seems this place has some story since they just left these valuable ores behind"
"Found you"
Hearing the sudden voice like a whisper behind her, Solitary Tempest's heart grew cold before she abruptly spun her body around and kicked at the space behind her!
Bam!
[You were attacked! You have been forced out of your stealth!]
[You have received 337 damage!]
The moment her attack landed, all she knew was that her kick connected to something hard but soft at the same time. Following that, she saw the sudden appearance of a familiar figure materializing at the spot she attacked while that person was sent reeling backwards for a few meters from the force of her kick.
"It's you..again"
"Hehehe, I'm not that easy to get rid off"
