Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

Chapter 244 Don’t put the cart before the horse

After quickly finishing their dinner, the two returned to their respective tents to wash up and rest.

Today's day of running around, including going down into the mines and fighting monsters, was quite stressful and exciting, and my body was also showing signs of fatigue.

A night passed and nothing dangerous happened.

The next morning, after they had breakfast and said hello to Linus next door, they did not pack up the tent because they estimated that they would have to stay there for a few more days at most and the tent was locked and no one else could get in anyway.

The two of them came to the mine again with all kinds of tools. This time, Lin Xia also brought Da Zhuang and Ah Huang down to the mine. When necessary, these two can also help!

However, as soon as they arrived at the mine, they were greeted with some bad news: the elevator was still out of service, which meant that they had to start from the first floor and look for the stairs.

After looking at each other miserably, the two could only accept their fate. The mine environment here was really unfriendly, the time inside did not stop, the mining rate was not high, and there were endless monsters in the cave. It was really...

"Sure enough, you were right to come to me to go mining with you. This place is really not easy to handle by yourself!"

"Hey, I always listen to my grandfather."

The two of them had a good rest today and were full of energy. In addition, they also had yesterday's experience, so they simply brought a large searchlight with them. When they encountered a mine with many rocks and complex terrain, they placed the searchlight in the middle to at least ensure that their vision was not obstructed!

Under the suppression of Lin Xia's bow and arrow firepower, the regional slimes were easily dealt with. It was just that finding stairs and knocking on copper mines was a bit tricky. After spending nearly 2 hours, the two finally reached the 5th floor.

As soon as they entered this floor, there was a "ding~" sound from the elevator on the wall, which scared the two people and their pets. Lin Xia and Gray went over to check it out and found that the elevator in this mine could be used, but it could only be used from 5 floors to 5 floors.

After entering this level, the monsters are no longer just green slimes. There are also large stink bugs flying all over the sky and white flesh worms crawling on the ground, which are actually maggots.

In fact, bedbugs are easy to deal with. Their defense is not high, and the rusty sword given by Ma Long can kill them with just one blow. At the same time, bedbugs will also explode a pink thing called "bug meat". Lin Xia collected them all into the space based on the principle of not missing it if passing by.

The more troublesome thing is the white maggots. Usually there are three of them at the same time, and if they are not killed in a short time, they will soon evolve into fast-flying and highly aggressive flies. When the giant flies attack you with the sound like a flying bomber, they are much faster than bedbugs, and they have strong attack power and strong defense.

There is also a kind of rock crab that looks very similar to rock. It disguises itself as minerals and is hard to guard against. Ah Huang was attacked for no apparent reason and couldn't find his target.

The rock shell it carries on its back gives it strong defensive capabilities. When it squats on the ground it becomes a stone, and when you aren't paying attention it will get up and attack you.

Later, Lin Xia dealt with bedbugs by simply chopping them with a sword, and dealt with maggots by directly letting Da Zhuang take charge, as his job is to eat insects, which are high in protein.

The white maggots had weak defenses and were not fast in movement, so Da Zhuang's pecking movements were quite efficient.

As for the rock crab, Ah Huang was asked to find it first. Once he found it, he would ask Lin Xia to smash it hard with the sword. It was quite relaxing to hear the clanging sound.

The slime's movements are quite agile, but fortunately Lin Xia can control it from a distance, so she is not afraid as long as the distance is far enough.

During this period, Ah Huang also boldly tried to fight against the slime, but unfortunately the green light on the slime was not white, but poisonous, which directly broke Ah Huang's dog mouth. Scared Lin Xia, she immediately sprinkled a bottle of animal medicine on it.

There is also a kind of digging worm that lives in a specific mud pit. This worm is also very annoying. If you walk in the pit inadvertently, you will be attacked by the digging worm that suddenly emerges. When you want to fight back, it will burrow back into the soil and you can't find it.

Fortunately, with Da Zhuang, an expert in insect pecking, everything is settled.

Therefore, on each floor, you can see Gray working diligently at mining, while Lin Xia takes two pet bottles to fight monsters everywhere. From time to time, there are the sounds of dogs barking, chickens laughing, and Lin Xia's angry curses. It is quite lively.

In addition to the equipment that drops when these monsters are killed, such as the regular copper ore, coal, and stone, as well as the special insect meat and slime, Lin Xia is also particularly keen on finding various wooden boxes and barrels in the mining caves.

At the beginning, Lin Xia changed to an axe to chop, but one time he accidentally used the rusty sword to chop and directly smashed 3 wooden boxes. From then on, a new world opened up for Lin Xia!

He split three boxes with one sword, what a style of a martial arts master!

Good things will also explode from the wooden boxes and barrels. In addition to the regular wood and stone, there will also be some mixed seeds that Lin Xia has never seen before. It only says that they can be planted, but does not say what season or what variety.

In addition, Lin Xia also got a few cave carrots, which can restore some physical strength and vitality when eaten. What a good thing!

The two men and their two pets spent a day and successfully broke through the 31st floor of the mine, but they did not go any further. The reason was that it was too dangerous!

Starting from the 31st floor, new monsters appeared. Moreover, from this floor onwards, even the dim torches on the walls disappeared. The whole place was pitch black without any light at all.

The new monsters that appeared were bats that flew silently and stone demons that moved stiffly.

The former is agile and attacks in the dark, making it hard to defend against. The latter is a stone demon, with his body made of stone. It is very difficult to chop him with Lin Xia's tattered sword. Ah Huang and Da Zhuang are of no help either, let alone using bows and arrows!

Later, Gray and Lin Xia made a prompt decision and immediately returned to the 30th floor. There were copper mines up there, so why should they go down? Although opening boxes was exciting, life was precious!

That’s right, Lin Xia found a pair of leather boots with defense +10 and immunity +1 in a treasure chest on the 1th floor; and a steel light sword with a significantly improved attack power compared to the original rusty sword in a treasure chest on the 20th floor.

It takes more than ten hits with a rusty sword to chop the slime, but only five or six hits with a steel sword will be enough!

However, after the two of them, or mainly Lin Xia, calmed down, they felt that it was only necessary to mine copper within the relatively safe 30th floor. There was no need to go to the later mining layers. They were not local residents and did not need to go to deeper mining layers to search for treasures.

Their original intention was to come for the furnace and gem cutter, so they can't put the cart before the horse!
