Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 107 Tiankeng
"You actually have silver mines on you?"

He quickly took it, and the moment he touched it, he knew that this was the silver mine he needed.

Although this pure natural silver ore is not pure enough and needs to be collected, such a large piece is definitely enough for the All Things Pickaxe to break through to the silver level.

"My Green Cloud City is right next to the silver mine, and this kind of ore is quite useful, so I will naturally carry some with me."

Hong Ming suddenly took the silver ore back and said with a smile: "Is this the silver ore you need? I only have this one piece. Is it enough for you?"

“It’s enough for the initial stage.”

Liu Hen nodded and looked at Hong Ming.

"I can give you the silver mine, and I don't want anything else, but can you transfer this follower away?"

Hong Ming held up the silver ore, which was the size of a human head, and pointed at Zhang Mianmian, who always followed him like a shadow. "She's always on guard against me like a thief. That look makes me very uncomfortable. And I should be trustworthy enough for you now, right? Now that I know your magical methods, I won't leave even if you chase me away."

Liu Hen thought for a moment, then nodded to Zhang Mianmian: "Supervision needs to continue, but you don't have to follow me everywhere."

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Mianmian answered respectfully.

Liu Hen looked at Hong Ming and said, "He has been transferred."

Hong Ming: “…”

"Can you give me the silver mine?" Liu Hen looked at Hong Ming.

Hong Ming's eyes were filled with resentment, but he still handed over the silver mine.

"Take it step by step, or do you still want to reach the sky in one go?"

Liu Hen took the silver mine with a smile on his face and said, "Now you can only be considered one of us, but if you want to gain our trust completely, it depends on your next behavior."

"alright."

Hong Ming shrugged his shoulders and went back to continue to be responsible for the guard at the rear of the migration team.

"Sir, who is this person?" Xiao Heishi's voice sounded in his mind.

'He is the peddler Hongming, whom I mentioned to you before.'

Liu Hen told Xiao Heishi about Hong Ming's identity as the former lord of Lvxia City and his previous experiences, and then asked: "Is there anything wrong with him?"

'He has so many undying obsessions.'

Little Black Stone said: "These are all the obsessions of the deceased. If he is hostile to you, I can instantly awaken those obsessions and he will be eaten by the deceased."

Liu Hen raised his eyebrows: "So many immortal obsessions? How many are there?"

Little Black Stone was silent for a long time, probably calculating. After a full half minute, he said, "It should be as wide as all the people here combined, lining up to the place where the adults just cut down the tree."

"???"

Liu Hen took a look at the width of the migrating team and calculated it in his mind.

Soon, he gasped.

Because according to his calculations, there are probably hundreds of thousands of obsessions with the dead in Hong Ming's body.

"This guy...how many people has he killed in all these years as the city lord? But...how did his obsession with the dead come about?"

He asked this question: "Black Stone, do I have the obsession of the dead?"

Both the original owner and he had killed people after traveling through time. If killing someone would cause one to be entangled by the obsession of the deceased, then he must have it as well.

"No," Little Black Stone replied.

In addition, Xiao Heishi seemed to have no idea how the obsession with the dead was born.

"I don't have any obsession with the dead? Then this obsession with the dead shouldn't just be about killing people."

Liu Hen was thoughtful and felt that Hong Ming might have some secrets.

But he did not waste time on this matter. Everyone has some unknown past to a greater or lesser extent.

As long as Hong Ming doesn't do anything to harm him, he doesn't care.

"Black Stone, can you leave the Death Mark now?" Liu Hen asked.

As he spoke, he took out the pickaxe of all things and collected the silver ore in his other hand while walking.

"when--"

The sound of metal knocking was heard, sparks flew, and fine cracks appeared on the surface of the silver ore.

But perhaps because the level of the Pickaxe was too low, nothing was collected the first time.

"You can leave now, sir. Do I need to come out?" asked Little Black Stone.

Liu Hen didn't answer directly, and asked again: "How strong are you now... well, how is your ability to protect yourself?"

"I have completely merged with the Wishing Stone. Now I am the Wishing Stone in human form, with an immortal body."

Little Black Stone replied: "Although my strength is not great, as long as I am not hit by the power of rules, I will basically not be injured."

Liu Hen raised his eyebrows: "If that's the case, then come out."

"Yes, sir."

With a flash of light, a small black stone appeared out of thin air next to it.

Everyone nearby was surprised because most of them had never seen the little black stone.

However, Liu Hen had no obligation to explain to everyone. He held up the cracked silver ore in his hand and asked, "Can you still sense the ore now? Is there any ore like this nearby?"

"can."

Little Black Stone sensed it carefully and then shook his head: "No."

Liu Hen felt a little regretful and continued collecting by waving his pickaxe.

“Dang!” “Dang…”

Swung the Pickaxe of Everything ten times in one breath.

Finally, the silver ore in his hand collapsed and turned into a pile of rubble. [Slag +4]

Silver Mine +1

There happened to be a silver mine.

He thought to himself that it was a close call, but at the same time he couldn't help but complain that there were too many impurities.

"Upgrade first. After the Pickaxe is upgraded, the Bonfire can also be upgraded. Hopefully, it will be able to cope with the coming cold season."

He put away the Pickaxe of All Things, and with a thought, he chose to upgrade.

The silver ore and one hundred magic crystals that had just been collected disappeared at the same time, and then the data in his mind became blurred, leaving only a countdown.

The countdown is one hour.

'Not too long.'

He silently hoped that after an hour, he would become a third-level psychic.

Since the upgrade began, an invisible heat has been gushing out from the deepest part of his body, slowly strengthening his flesh, blood, and bones.

Compared with the past, this time the enhancement seems to be slightly more obvious.

Not only did he feel physically, he also felt as if his spirit was sublimating.

“Whoosh, whoosh…”

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the migrating team was moving slower and slower.

Suddenly, Chang Xin came over from the front. She was slightly startled when she saw Xiao Heishi. She nodded to Xiao Heishi first, then looked at Liu Hen: "Almost all those whose thermal clothing was torn are going into hibernation uncontrollably. I remember there are more than 500 thermal clothing left. I want to give them all clothes."

"That's right, forget about it."

Liu Hen was about to start the home construction mode to lay the foundation and then take out the locker, but he found that the Pickaxe of All Things was being upgraded. Except for the ready-made concrete items, other intangible abilities could not be used for the time being.

Perhaps this upgrade is different from the previous ones. This time, even the space backpack cannot be used.

"My ability is breaking through, and I can't take the things out." He looked up and said.

"Is your ability about to break through?"

Chang Xin's face lit up with joy: "Then you concentrate on breaking through. I'll have people carry those people away."

Compared with Liu Hen's breakthrough in supernatural powers, everything else has to wait in line, and she can still tell what is more important.

"Okay." Liu Hen nodded.

Because the wind was so loud, the conversation between the two people was not heard by others.

Chang Xin didn't say anything, worried that Liu Hen's breakthrough would also require quiet like her own.

She arranged for the modified humans to carry the desert dwellers who were about to hibernate, or to stuff them directly into the spider cart and squeeze them with the elderly and children to speed up the team.

A few minutes later, Chen Ye and his men returned.

Perhaps they were lucky, as none of the warm clothes, bows and arrows worn by their team were torn.

Obviously, the things they were given were not made by the destroyed workbench.

Liu Hen walked over with Xiao Heishi.

"Sir, Sister Chang."

Chen Ye saluted Liu Hen and Chang Xin, then said, "The Bronze Dragon Camp has indeed disappeared, and the camp has collapsed, as if it was forcibly destroyed, a bit like the way the demonic Bronze Dragon destroyed our camp before."

"I knew it." Liu Hen sneered.

"Cold... so cold..." Tong Kun rubbed his hands frantically. As a member of the camp, he felt as if his body was frozen and his blood seemed to be completely solidified.

He looked at Liu Hen pleadingly: "Sir, please give me a warm coat, please... please..."

Although the barbarians may also freeze to death, the current cold season has a special climate. Under this special climate, the barbarians will hibernate for self-protection.

But he was not a barbarian, but a 'spoiled' camper, and at this moment he felt that he might be frozen to death at any time.

He originally had warm clothes, but after being captured, they were confiscated.

“There are no more warm clothes now.”

Liu Hen looked at Chang Xin and said, "Let's see who is more resistant to the cold and let someone spare a piece of warm clothing."

Chang Xin nodded, asked Chen Ye to handle this matter, and took Tong Kun to the rear of the team to shelter from the wind.

At the same time, she said with a worried look on her face: "Should we continue to migrate? This place is still so far away from Luxia City."

"Are you stumped now?"

Liu Hen smiled and said, "This little difficulty is nothing compared to conquering the Night Mist World."

Chang Xin was silent.

"decide as things go."

Liu Hen restrained his smile and said, "Let's go to the ruins of the Tonglong Camp first."

“Whoosh, whoosh…”

The wind was freezing cold and the team's progress was getting slower and slower.

But finally, after more than half an hour, the migrating team arrived at the entrance of the Bronze Dragon Camp.

However, what you see makes you speechless.

Because a sinkhole appeared here.

A tiankeng that is more than a thousand meters long and wide and more than a hundred meters deep, and even a large number of ground cracks have appeared around it.

People with good eyesight, like Liu Hen, can see clearly that this sinkhole was obviously formed not long ago, because there are a lot of newly broken frozen soil and boulders underneath.

This is the second update today. The third update will probably be very late. Those who can't wait can wait until they wake up to read it. I've accidentally become a daytime sleeper and a nightlife worker again. Please give me a monthly pass!

　Asking for a monthly ticket! !
