Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 140 The Silver Mine is Finally in Hand
"What did you do? Why do those demons hate you so much?"

Liu Hen asked in confusion while running wildly with Helian Xiao.

"This chief doesn't know. This chief only killed a few demon servants."

Helian Xiao said innocently, "Since this chief arrived in the area of ​​Luxia City, all he did was kill a few demon servants. Those demon servants were very low-level and had no intelligence. They could not possibly be of any importance."

"That……"

Liu Hen was about to ask again when he suddenly heard the roars of the demons behind him.

"Return my Lord's life..."

The roar echoed far away in the darkness. Even though he was moving at an incredible speed and the sound of the whistling wind filled his ears, he could still hear the roar.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but think of the good things Hong Ming had done.

"Demon Lord?"

He roughly knew who the 'master' of those silver mine monsters was.

"This chief didn't kill their owner. This chief didn't even know they had an owner."

Helian Xiao was even more bewildered. "Those demon servants are so low-level, there's no way they could be their master. This chief has seen quite a few high-level demons in the Ring of Fire, so it's impossible for him to make such a mistake."

Liu Hen didn't say anything else because he had roughly guessed the reason.

This guy Helian Xiao should be taking the blame for Hong Ming.

I don’t know why the four demons behind mistook their enemy for Helian Xiao.

"Could it be that Hongming was in disguise?"

Liu Hen was suspicious.

In addition, according to Hong Ming, there is only one silver mine monster of the sixth level near Lvxia City, but he did not mention that there are so many silver mine monsters of the fourth level.

'Is it because the guy didn't explain it in detail, or is there some other reason?'

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and he didn't dare to slow down at all.

Because the four demons behind also accelerated and chased them desperately.

Fortunately, the monster made from minerals has a heavy body. Even though it has great strength, it is not a speed monster after all.

When they accelerated to about 100 meters per second, they could no longer accelerate and were quickly left behind.

"What a fast speed..." Helian Xiao looked at the scenery on both sides that was rapidly receding, and his heart was secretly shocked.

Liu Hen ignored Helian Xiao's surprise and did not dare to stop. Even though the two demons had been thrown away, he continued to run wildly.

However, the four demons did not give up and continued to chase Helian Xiao desperately, as if they were determined to fight to the death.

"These four demons are at least at the fourth level. Their defenses are extremely strong. The Homeland Cannon is likely unable to penetrate their defenses. Hong Ming is not a combat-oriented esper, and Chang Xin's level is too low..."

Liu Hen thought about it and suddenly took a detour, not daring to bring the four demons back to the Lucheng Village for fear of any accidents.

Anyway, he is fast and has the power of the earth to continuously replenish his physical strength, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to run.

During this period, he tried to teleport with Helian Xiao, but found that it didn't work.

It’s not that he can’t teleport with external objects, but Helian Xiao’s level is higher than his, so he will instinctively reject this kind of teleportation.

Finally, after half an hour, there was no more movement from the rear.

"Sir, those four demons didn't catch up." Little Black Stone's voice rang in his mind.

Liu Hen breathed a sigh of relief, then took Helian Xiao and ran towards the Lucheng Village again.

Of course, this time he slowed down a lot so as not to attract the attention of the four demons with the loud noise.

After more than an hour of struggle, the two finally managed to return to the vicinity of Lutu Village.

Liu Hen put Helian Xiao down and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the silver mine?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of the demon servants who were killed.

However, if we return now, we may encounter those four demons, so there is no need to rush. Let's first see how much Helian Xiao has on him.

"Hold on……"

Helian Xiao's condition had recovered a lot. He felt around his body, then put his hands together and pulled hard to both sides.

"laugh--"

A pitch-black crack opened up, and pieces of silvery-white ore fell out.

At this time, Chang Xin, who sensed that the two had returned, quickly came over to greet them.

Hong Ming also arrived and asked from a distance, "I heard Chief Shi was being hunted by a demon? What kind of demon? I'm very familiar with the demons over there."

"A silver mine monster-type demon."

As Helian Xiao dug out the silver ore, he explained, "There were four silver ore monsters at the peak of the fourth realm. There were many silver ore monsters below the fourth realm, but only those four caught up."

"Silver mine demon?"

Hong Ming was puzzled: "I remember there was only one sixth-level silver mine demon over there, but that sixth-level silver mine demon should have been dead."

"When you were there, didn't you see silver mine monsters of other realms?" Liu Hen asked.

"No, I'm quite sure."

Hong Ming said doubtfully, "That sixth-level silver mine demon commands a large number of demons and demon servants of all kinds. The other demons are mostly flesh and blood creatures and plant demons."

"Could it be that those silver mine monsters were bred later?"

Liu Hen was suspicious: "But it can't be that fast? Reaching the fourth level in just three years?"

"The speed of demon cultivation is not much faster than that of us humans with special abilities. Even if we encounter a great opportunity, it is impossible for it to be that fast."

Hong Ming looked at Helian Xiao: "What are the characteristics of those silver mine monsters?"

At this time, Helian Xiao had already taken out all the silver ore he brought back. The pile was more than two meters high, and the weight should be far more than 10,000 kilograms.

He closed the pitch-black crack and said, "As for their characteristics... those demons seem to have low intelligence. They're called demons, but they feel more like demon servants." "Low intelligence..."

Hong Ming had a bad feeling.

Chang Xin interrupted, "Could it be that the sixth-level demon split apart after its death?"

"That silver mine demon was huge, like a small mountain."

Hong Ming said in disbelief, "I saw it disintegrate with my own eyes, but I was too seriously injured at the time, and there were a large number of demon servants nearby, so I didn't dare to go forward to check."

"That should be the case. There's no way that so many silver mine monsters could have been born in just three years."

Chang Xin ended the topic and looked at Helian Xiao: "You didn't fulfill our requirements on your own. These minerals may not be traded according to the original agreement."

Helian Xiao gave a bitter laugh: "This chief understands. Being able to survive is already a blessing. You can take these silver mines, but according to the agreement, are we now even?"

"Liu Hen saved your life, and you want to even things out now?"

Hong Ming sneered, "Is your life so worthless?"

"That's not what the chief meant."

Helian Xiao hurriedly explained.

"We'll talk about this later. I'll see if these silver mines can be used."

Liu Hen took out the Pickaxe of All Things, came to the ore that Helian Xiao had taken out, and began to collect it while waving the Pickaxe of All Things.

Because these silver ores were obviously not dug out, but from the body materials of the ore monster, he had to worry about any accidents.

[Slag +3]

Silver Mine +7

With one pickaxe, he directly collected three pieces of slag and seven pieces of silver ore.

He smiled immediately, because this raw ore contained a lot of silver, and its purity was much higher than the silver ore that Hong Ming had given him.

Obviously, the body materials of those silver mine monsters are the best.

"How is it?" Chang Xin asked.

Helian Xiao also looked at Liu Hen nervously. He had put in so much effort and almost lost his life. If these ores were not up to standard, it would be a huge loss.

"can."

Liu Hen looked at Helian Xiao with satisfaction: "Let's settle the previous matter now."

Hong Ming looked at Liu Hen in surprise, but didn't say anything more.

According to his thinking, if he didn't exploit a person with special abilities to the fullest extent when given the opportunity, he would be doing himself a disservice.

Because the mutant obviously didn't dare to resist.

"Thank you so much."

Helian Xiao said gratefully: "But I will remember your life-saving grace."

"You should go back and recuperate first, your injuries are serious."

Liu Hen said nothing more and waved the pickaxe again to collect silver ore.

Now everything has to be put on hold. First, we need to collect the silver ore and upgrade the creation workbench. This is the important thing.

Once the Creation Workbench is upgraded to Silver level, the Village Defense Cannon can be manufactured.

If there were more silver mines and the thermal suits could continue to be upgraded, the strength of himself and others would be greatly improved.

Although he is now essentially a third-level psychic, he only has the level but no corresponding equipment, which makes him very weak.

"OK, thanks."

Helian Xiao bowed gratefully, then turned and left.

Because the people of the Stone Tribe were still under guard, and they were so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed. They had been holding back and had not come out, and no one came to pick him up.

But this state of confinement will soon end, and his tribe will be free again.

Looking at Helian Xiao walking away, Chang Xin suddenly said, "I think Chief Stone seems to be accustomed to this kind of situation. He must have encountered it before."

"That guy said he came from the Ring of Fire."

Hong Ming also speculated: "If he's not lying, judging from his situation, that place might be more lively than the Morten Domain."

"We don't even know how big the Morten Domain is. Let's discuss this later."

Liu Hen waved the Pickaxe of All Things and said, "All of you go on guard to prevent those four demons from coming here. Chang Xin, go check those home cannons. If there are any problems, tell me immediately."

"Okay." Chang Xin quickly turned around and left.

Hong Ming subconsciously glanced at the darkness in the distance and hurried away. He was obviously very afraid of the silver mine demon.

[Slag +3]

Silver Mine +6

Silver Mine +8

……

Liu Hen kept waving the Pickaxe, and the amount of ore in front of him kept decreasing.

Because his space backpack is now big enough, he didn't throw away even the slag.

In just four or five minutes, all the ore was mined.

"We've obtained over 300 pieces of silver ore, and the Creation Workbench can finally be upgraded."

Liu Hen smiled, and his body turned into flames and disappeared, teleporting to the travel village.

The next moment, he walked out of the bonfire inside the village, went directly into the village chief's residence, came to his room, and upgraded the main workbench.
