New Chapter 11 The Lost Mine 1
Xiaoye is actually a fragile child, just like now she especially needs someone to get close to her to get warmth.
After opening the list of friends, there was only the lonely Siyu, whose name was lit and she was online.
Although the Youfang businessman is there, Xiaoye has always believed that the two of them are just partners in transactions and must not have other life connections.
I have been playing games for a long time, and there are only a few people on the list.
This one, an emotion called loneliness, spreads wildly in Xiaoye's thinking power, occupying everything.
What are you doing? Xiaoye thought for a long time but didn't know how to send a message to Siyu. He had to use the most inaccurate greeting.
After the message was sent, Xiaoye was waiting, looking forward to the unique dinging sound of the message.
My heart is getting colder, and it's time to find something to do.
I stood up and moved my somewhat stiff body for a while, except for the demon refining furnace.
It is still simple and warm, but now it feels like it is somewhat lacking in vitality.
When I opened the warehouse, there were a lot of materials. Xiaoye was too lazy to sort out now, so he threw all the things he had harvested recently and emptied his backpack.
Taking out the mining pickaxe that I hadn't touched for a long time, Xiaoye decided to go to mining and complete the task of the craftsman's inheritance first. Once it is completed, you can go to the outside world and you will not be so lonely.
As a land lord, the only thing he thinks is to own a detailed map of the territory, and all kinds of labels are very detailed.
Open the map and filter out all except mine caves.
The mines are marked and displayed in different colors. Different colors represent different ore attributes, although this distribution is not absolute.
The brighter the color, the more ore you have and the better quality.
Now these are all their own, although there are no guards to take care of them.
Xiaoye saw the mine cave that produces fire spirits. The color has become much dimmed. Perhaps soon the resources will be exhausted and become an abandoned mine cave. Then, according to the system's conventional design, some monsters will gather here and become underground leveling points.
Xiaoye walked in Baihua Town, and the construction was in an orderly manner. The roads were expanded and neatly arranged houses were distributed on both sides of the road. A Baihua Square was also established in the center of the town, and the temporary government was rebuilt behind the square.
The square faces a street, which is the street established in a systematic way, and it is also the economic concentration point of Baihua Group in the future, and it is also the most prosperous area for Baihua.
The layout of the entire town can be roughly seen. With the temporary government as the center, each street is radially distributed, and the streets divide the town into different communities.
After upgrading to a town, Baihua added many new system stores, such as restaurants, appraisal institutes, and some are professional appraisal institutes, but the level is relatively low.
The Hunter Guild, the most wanted Hunter Guild, has not been established yet, so I can only wait for the next upgrade or go to the main city.
The village chief's economic mind played a role. Those system stores are system-hard-minded, and their income does not belong to Baihua Town. They only pay taxes regularly. Therefore, the village chief left a large enough shop next to each system store, and was ready to defeat the system shop as long as there was a suitable opportunity.
Take the restaurant as an example. The village chief next to the system restaurant has established a larger and more luxurious restaurant, and its main product is home-made Baihua wine. The system restaurant can only sell some low-end wines. You can imagine how miserable the competition scene will be after Baihua Town is officially opened to players.
Now is the second day of construction, and Xiaoye is expected to have another four or five days for Baihua Town to welcome a new group of people.
I greeted my acquaintances on the street, and everyone was working hard. Xiaoye watched the joy overflowing and felt a kind of warmth of home.
The mine selected this time is at the outermost periphery of the territory, at the foot of a mountain range. The reason why I chose this mine is because its introduction is too simple, and it simply has a name written: Lost mine. There is nothing else in the introduction, and it does not shine on the map.
Xiaoye's curiosity was easily aroused by such a mine.
Xiaoye decided to find out.
The journey forward was quite twists and turns. After experiencing the battle to defend the village, a considerable number of monsters were forced to migrate outward, but some monsters remained in the territory. Although there were not many, the level was relatively high, about level 30.
Xiaoye didn't dare to fight these monsters who were originally elite-level monsters without the help of the Demon Refining Pot. He was not afraid of death, but it did not mean that he was not afraid of pain. His own pain was 100%. What is the concept? Compared to those who only drove up to 30 to 40%, what is this concept?
The difference is that Xiaoye will scream in pain because of the spike. Some people still smile even with daggers on their bodies.
Having a full pain meeting makes my feelings more sensitive. I quoted Xiaoye's answer to why Siyu was fully opened. The pain made me feel that I exist. After hearing this sentence, Siyu's reaction was that in fact, I know many people who tend to be self-abuse, but you are more obvious. Don't worry, I will not discriminate against you, and you don't have any psychological shadows. Xiaoye ignored this sentence at that time and refuted that people should not talk about philosophy.
Xiaoye avoided it all the way, and if he couldn't, he would detour it. Finally, after experiencing zero battles, he arrived at the lost mine cave.
If it weren't for coordinate prompts, it would be difficult for Xiaoye to connect the entrance of the mine, which is only one person tall and can only accommodate two people at the same time.
You should know that the mine designed by the system is exaggerated at least in terms of face issues. It shows off the huge wealth contained in the mine without restraint. The worst thing is to erect a huge stone with a name engraved at the entrance of the mine. There is no such a grievance. It is clearly the beggar begging in the rich area.
Xiaoye took out a dagger and split the branches and vines wrapped around the hole, and green plant juices were splashing everywhere.
It happened that juice splashed into Xiaoye's mouth. Xiaoye pursed his mouth, bitter, astringent, and impurities unique to plants.
It took Xiaoye a lot of time to remove the plants at the entrance of the hole. Xiaoye sat down and rested. He wanted to drink a sip of water, but this didn't matter, but unexpectedly happened.
Because Xiaoye can't feel his mouth anymore, but his mouth does exist and you can touch it with your hands, but your mouth just can't feel the touch of your fingers.
Xiaoye opened the state and saw that he was poisoned.
Maybe it was the juice that splashed into my mouth just now. Fortunately, I was not poisoned deeply and I guess I would recover in more than ten minutes.
It seems that this cave is extremely sinister.
Xiaoye used low-level reconnaissance techniques to discover the plants that poisoned him, but after failing many times, he gave up the idea of transplanting this plant to the demon refining pot for cultivation. However, Xiaoye still marked it on the map. Any poison is valuable, it depends on how you use it.
During Xiaoye's search for poisonous plants, the poisoning state has been lifted, and only more than 200 drops of blood have been lost.
Just a few drops of juice that had not been processed and concentrated would cost more than 200 blood. If it was processed... Xiaoye's sinister smile appeared again.
As a vampire, Xiaoye cannot use the blood bottle, blue bottle antidote used by players and the regular items with increased status.
Detoxification can only wait for the toxicity to fail, and recovery of blood can only be achieved by itself or the use of the blood-sucking characteristics of the dagger to recover blood.
As a senior miner, Xiaoye prepared many items that he might use, such as torches, candles, ropes... and all the things he might use were brought.
Remove the holes blocked by plants, and the first time there can be sunlight shining in.
Xiaoye smelled a pungent smell at the entrance of the cave, but he couldn't remember what it smelled like.
The sun passes through the light, covered with spider webs.
Looking a little further inside, it will be pitch black, which is a dark intestine that leads to the underground.
Xiaoye lit the torch and used it to burn off the dusty spider web.
As soon as I entered the hole a few meters, I looked behind me and saw a slightly glowing hole. The distance of several meters actually caused a sense of time and space disorder.
The torches made crackling sounds in the dark, and the figures of dark red leaping flames were on the walls of the cave.
Xiaoye threw down a copper plate every few meters. This is a special copper plate that was refreshed by the system for 3 days. Xiaoye will not get lost by relying on these copper plates.
Xiaoye didn't know how far or how long he had walked, but in the narrow and dark space all senses had lost their function, so he could only make a judgment based on the burning degree of the torch: he walked for about 20 minutes. But as for how far he had gone, Xiaoye looked at the darkness in front and the darkness in back, and it was hard to say.
The space in the cave is gradually getting bigger, and at least four or five people can pass through together.
So far, Xiaoye has not encountered anything. There will be scattered ore or abandoned pickaxes everywhere in other mines, and there will be lighting tools such as lanterns or torches on the walls. But so far, Xiaoye has seen only bare cave walls and endless darkness.
The flames of the torch began to jump violently, and a ferocious figure was printed on the cave wall. Xiaoye held the dagger in his back hand and blocked his chest. The flames were still pounding for a long time, but there was no danger.
It's the wind, it turns out that it's the wind that is causing trouble.
But how can there be wind in the depths of the mine?
The light of the torch cannot penetrate the richness and darkness at all. This darkness has condensed for a long time and becomes a physical body.
There was a faint protrusion on the wall in front of the cave, and Xiaoye approached cautiously.
It is a lamp holder, a metal brass lamp holder, inserted obliquely into the hole wall.
There is also a slow amber lamp oil in the recessed utensil. The wick lies softly in the lamp oil. The black burning charcoal marks are still above the oil surface, which causes the lamp to be used every day. It still emits a soft light the moment before, or someone will carefully fill the lamp oil and wipe off the floating ash every day.
Xiaoye ignited the wicks, and the light spread out. The dark passages in front were lit up in turn, and the darkness was slowly dispersed.
Xiaoye was not shocked at all by this trick, there was nothing impossible in the game.
Many brilliant thrilling and bizarre effects are just tricks used by the game to attract players.
Xiaoye has seen the scene inside the cave for the first time now.
Not far away, at the end of the light, there is a stone wall, and a mine cave has come to an abrupt end.
Is it artificial? Or coincidence? Xiaoye’s intuition said that there is a conspiracy buried here.
