1276: C1276 Black Scale Ore

C1276 Black Scale Ore

In a fight with Necromancer, he had to end the fight quickly, or else he would be crushed with an overwhelming advantage in numbers. Otherwise, he would have to retreat. This was the experience that the players had gained after witnessing Necromancer's abnormal abilities. However, they did not know about the Aardwolf.

The number of Aardwolf was far greater than Dongfang Qingyu's. He could have used the absolute advantage of numbers to eliminate Dongfang Qingyu. However, the terrain of the underground world made it impossible for the Aardwolf to use its advantage in numbers. This allowed Dongfang Qingyu to survive through the most difficult early stage. After entering the middle stage, Dongfang Qingyu was now in an undefeatable position. In addition, he still had the small elven flag that he did not use. When Zhong Xiancai saw Dongfang Qingyu revive more than 300 Aardwolf, he knew that he had won the battle.

Ten minutes later, the battle came to an end. Although the Aardwolf came from the Demon Domain and didn't fear death, the cunning and suspicious Werewolves still held back. When they saw that Dongfang Qingyu could not defeat them, after the main group died, the remaining few Aardwolf drilled into the passageway and escaped.

The group cheered. The Aardwolf had finally been defeated. Zhong Xiancai looked at Dongfang Qingyu with a complicated expression. It was all thanks to him that they were able to deal with the Aardwolf so smoothly and with such small casualties.

"Alright, the Black Phosphorus Ore is just behind us. We won't rest anymore. We will rest in the mine." Round Face was very happy. As the deputy captain, he didn't care how much credit Dongfang Qingyu had made. It was Liao Shifang's business how much Dongfang Qingyu was paid. He only needed to see the result.

The team answered loudly. They did not encounter any more danger behind them. There were a few Aardwolf hiding in the cracks, trying to sneak attack them. However, facing the army of reviving Aardwolf, and the Bloodthirsty Bat occupying the airspace... They did not even have the chance to use their full strength. They were destroyed the moment they were discovered.

The terrain suddenly opened up, and the team appeared in a karst cave that was as big as two basketball courts. Under the illumination of the torch, everyone could clearly see that the color of the rock had turned black. They could faintly see ancient patterns that looked like fish scales on it.

"Black Phosphorus Ore!"

"It's Black Phosphorus Ore, we're here!"

"We're finally here!"

...

The team shouted happily. For combat occupation players, this little bit of risk was nothing. However, for miners, Prospector, and transport workers who had not encountered many risks, traveling through the dark and narrow passage was not a good experience. Along the way, they were constantly attacked by monsters. It was more than three hours of travel. To them, it was no less than three days.

"Let's rest here for half an hour. Everyone, eat something and recover your strength!" Liao Shifang played the role of a leader and let his trusted subordinates open the spatial ring. They could eat buns, buns, and cakes as they pleased.

Although they were all cheap goods, they were free after all. They had won the favor of the miners. The miners were all lower-class people, so it was easy for them to be satisfied.

Round Face could not rest, so he had to arrange for people to guard him. To protect everyone's safety. With so many people gathered in the karst cave, it was very easy to attract monsters. The first thing he did was to investigate clearly. There were four exits to the karst cave. Two big ones, one medium sized one, and one small hole. The hole they entered was the smallest. The plump subordinates split into two teams, guarding the medium-sized hole and the big hole. Zhong Xiancai. ___ led a group of men and horses to guard the smallest hole, which was the entrance that they had entered through. It was the least dangerous. It was not that Round Face looked down on him, but it was because of Liao Shifang that illuminated him. Because of Dongfang Qingyu's excellent performance, he was arranged to guard a big hole. Furthermore, he was assigned 10 players to order him around. He could be considered to have entered the management level.

Liao Shifang did not rest either. He arranged for Prospector to start working. This mine had obviously been mined before. As for why it had been mined, he had given it up. Was it because of the lack of mineral resources, or was it because of the delay in time, or was it because it was in danger? The answer had to be found by oneself.

If it was because of the later reasons, then it was easy to say, but if the mineral resources were too poor and did not meet the conditions to mine, then it would be troublesome, and they had to find a new mine.

Fortunately, the situation was not as bad as they had imagined. After some investigation, eleven Prospector had always believed that the amount of black phosphorus ore in this ore was rich enough to build the city wall. As for why the predecessors gave up on mining after mining a portion of the ore, it must be for some other reason.

After obtaining the confirmation, Liao Shifang was overjoyed. As long as the black phosphorus ore could be mined... Everything else was no longer important. He said he would rest for half an hour. In fact, after Prospector confirmed it, ... Liao Shifang immediately ordered the miners to start work. They only rested for 18 minutes. However, no one had any complaints. In this day and age, what the boss said was the truth. Not to mention that they had rested for 18 minutes, even if they did not rest for a minute, if the boss said he wanted to start work, he had to do it.

Ding, ding, ding, ding...

Ding... Ding, ding, ding, ding...

Clank, clank, clank...

The sharp hoe hit the hard ore and sparks flew everywhere. An ear piercing and unpleasant collision sound was heard. The sound echoed in the sealed karst cave. In an instant, it made people feel as if they were in a chaotic world of noise. In less than a minute, many people started to get impatient.

Dongfang Qingyu was also a miner, so he had a lot of days mining. However, he rarely mined with others, so he basically went alone. When he was mining, he was completely focused. He had never thought that mining would cause such a huge problem to others. Seeing Ye Feifei reveal a painful expression, other than making her cover her ear hole, there was nothing he could do.

"I dug out a black scale ore!" A miner shouted in surprise. He held a black scale ore the size of a human head with both hands. His expression was strained, and it seemed that the weight was not light. Under the illumination of the torch, it was shining like a black gem. It reflected a glaring light. Even though it was 34 meters away, Dongfang Qingyu could still see the fish-scale patterns on the ore. They were uniform and fine, and they were naturally formed. They were filled with a certain charm, ancient and mysterious.

No wonder the arrogant Zhang Ning was willing to push down the already built city walls and have the Black Scale Ore. This kind of ore was indeed tempting.

"Black Scale Ore, I've dug it up!"

"I also dug out Black Scale Ore!"

"There's also a Black Scale Ore here!"

...

The output of the Black Scale Ore was not high, but there were many miners. Dongfang Qingyu kept hearing the surprised voices of the miners. He observed for a while. He could dig out at least 30 Black Scale Ore in a minute. He thought about the bitterness of mining alone. He was really too stupid. In the future, he would have to hire more people, and the more people he had, the more powerful he would be.2

As the number of black scale ores increased, Liao Shifang was very happy. But on the other side, the cost of digging was so great that it made him feel apprehensive. A normal Silver Ore Hoe could be used for two hours in a row. An ordinary miner would have two Ore Hoe and one main Ore Hoe. One for backup. However, mining the Black Scale Ore took less than half an hour. The Durability of the main Ore Hoe had dropped to less than 5. The miners did not dare to use it anymore. They exchanged it for a backup Ore Hoe.

The backup Ore Hoe's usage time was shorter, 20 minutes. Apart from a few miners who had three Ore Hoe, the other miners could only stare blankly when they used up the Ore Hoe.

Liao Shifang could not let the miners sit and rest, so he could only provide the Ore Hoe himself. The miners were eager. If it was not their own Ore Hoe, they would dig with all their hands and feet. On average, they needed to exchange for one Ore Hoe in 20 minutes.

The Ore Hoe was on one hand, and on the other hand, it was their physical strength. The hardness of the Black Scale Ore was too high, and players used up all their stamina in half an hour. They had to stop eating to replenish their stamina. Ordinary buns and buns were too slow to replenish their stamina. They had to eat chicken, duck, fish, and nearly 300 miners' food. It wasn't a small amount.

However, for the sake of the Black Scale Ore, Liao Shifang did not say anything. He only asked his subordinates to provide it generously. This was the first time Dongfang Qingyu had seen a large-scale mission. He felt that it was not easy for a large organization. On the surface, it seemed like they were doing well, but they earned as much as they earned every day. In fact, he had also spent a lot, but he had not shown it.

Suddenly, he felt an unusual vibration on the ground, and his heart trembled. A monster had come.
