"Lord Cheng Mo, you're here!" Cheng Mo was seen as soon as he reached halfway up the mountain. Because of the recent rain, the brick kiln factory had stopped operating, leaving only two orcs from the Rhino Horn Tribe guarding it. The two of them saw someone coming from afar, and when they got closer they found it was Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo stepped forward and handed over the bamboo basket in his hand: "Thank you for your hard work. I brought you something. I heard that your people's skin tends to dry out easily, so I made this specially."

The two orcs from the Rhino Horn Tribe were flattered to take the bamboo basket given by Cheng Mo. There were only two large bamboo tubes in it, and they didn't know what was in it.

"This is a homemade body lotion I made. You should store it in a cool, dark place. It will last for about eight reincarnation months." Cheng Mo pounded his legs. It was really tiring to climb here.

"Body lotion?" The two orcs looked at each other. They didn't know what body lotion was.

"It's a skin moisturizer. After you soak in the water, apply the body lotion on your body so that your skin won't dry out so quickly." Cheng Mo took a little lotion and rubbed it on his hands, and his hands immediately became white, tender and smooth.

"Thank you, Lord Cheng Mo!" The two orcs looked at the body lotion in their hands excitedly. You know, the skin of their tribe is really dry, and it often cracks and bleeds due to dry skin, so they always like to stay in the water, but staying in the water all the time is not good, so they can only live by the water, which makes it convenient for them to soak in the water.

"It's okay, it's okay." Cheng Mo waved his hand nonchalantly. He only remembered this body lotion when he went to get the soap he had made earlier.

Cheng Mo walked to the shed where bricks were drying and took a look. There were no bricks left. They were probably all transported to the place where the houses were being built. Because of the arrival of the Long Nose Tribe, they no longer liked to use carts. One orc from the Long Nose Tribe could transport all the bricks in a shed.

"Then I'll go first." Cheng Mo walked around and decided to leave when he found nothing was wrong.

Cheng Mo said goodbye to the two orcs from the Rhino Horn Tribe and walked towards the other side of the mountain road. He remembered that the book said there was a small mine nearby, so he planned to go over and take a look first.

Cheng Mo stepped carefully on the wet soil. Perhaps because the road was difficult to walk on, there were few people coming. Cheng Mo had already found several kinds of food. Fortunately, he brought the bamboo basket before he left, otherwise it would be difficult for him to carry away so much food.

Cheng Mo put one foot on a mossy stone and the other on the path. He tried hard to pull at the wood above. A lot of fungi grew here after the rain. In just a few steps, Cheng Mo saw a large area of ​​wood ear and thunder god.

Cheng Mo likes to eat thunder god vegetables very much. After washing them clean, she stir-fries them with eggs. They taste sweet and fresh.

Cheng Mo carefully picked up the thunder god vegetables attached to the stone, otherwise they would fall apart if he was not careful. He put a large leaf at the bottom of the bamboo basket and then put the thunder god vegetables in. Soon there was a layer of thunder god vegetables.

Cheng Mo continued to walk forward with the basket in his hand, feeling contented. There were few large wild beasts nearby. Cheng Mo had seen several burning beasts running past, but he did not go up to catch them. Two legs could not outrun four legs, and his main task now was to find the location of the mine, so he did not want to waste time.

The book said that the mine was right next to the river. Cheng Mo walked to the river and took a look. The water was so clear that he could even see the rocks below clearly.

Cheng Mo continued to walk down along the stream. The water became more turbid the further he went down. However, Cheng Mo had reached the foot of the mountain and had not seen any clues about the mine. He looked around in disbelief.

"079, are you there?" Cheng Mo searched for a while without success. He even suspected that the books given by the system were marked incorrectly, so he began to call 079. Of course, 079 would not respond to him!

"Oh!" Cheng Mo put the bamboo basket in his hand on the ground and found a clean stone to sit down.

"Where is the mine here?!"

“Is this broken system lying to me?”

"Or did I go the wrong way?"

Cheng Mo talked to himself for a long time. The book said that if you see brown stones, you can see the mine, but it doesn't look like there is a mine nearby! There are no brown stones nearby! They are all small black stones.

Cheng Mo picked up a small stone on the ground and tossed it. Where was the brown stone? Was it buried for too long? Or was it taken away by something?

Puzzled, Cheng Mo threw the small stone in his hand into the water, creating a small splash. Cheng Mo frowned and looked at the turbid water. Could the brown stone be hidden under the water?

Cheng Mo looked around, picked up a branch and stretched it into the riverbed. The branch touched the bottom when it was halfway in. Cheng Mo poked other places again, and they were all just up to the halfway point of the branch, indicating that the river was really shallow.

Cheng Mo rolled up his trouser legs and tried to step in. The cold river water froze Cheng Mo's feet in an instant. The river water in early spring was still very piercing. Cheng Mo bent down and touched a handful of stones. He looked at the small stones in his hand and said happily: "It turns out that it is really under the water!"

The gravel in Cheng Mo's hand was brown and black, but mostly brown. These should be mineral fragments brought down by the river. It seemed that the mine should be above.

Cheng Mo touched a handful of stones again. This time the stone he touched was larger, with some yellow rust spots on it. Cheng Mo took the stone and walked to the shore.

After wiping the water off his feet, Cheng Mo took the stone and went upstream to look for it.

"Ding Dong! Host, main mission seven: mining and iron smelting." 079's voice rang out.

"..."Cheng Mo.

"Ding Dong! Host, did you hear that?"

"I heard you. Kneel down, you useless little thing."

"..."

Cheng Mo looked at the fork of the stream. No wonder he didn't see the brown stone when he was going downstream just now. It turned out that he had taken the wrong path just now. He should have gone down the other fork.

Cheng Mo picked up a stone. The surface of the stone was rusty. A large piece of rust fell off when he touched it. After determining the location of the mine, Cheng Mo took the stone back.

"Patriarch Yan?" Before reaching the cave entrance, Cheng Mo met Yan Hai.

"Lord Cheng Mo, what are you doing?" Yan Hai looked Cheng Mo up and down, only to see that Cheng Mo was dirty, his clothes were covered in dust, and he was holding a big stone in his hand.

"I just fell on the road. Chief Yan, please help me take this to the high priest. I will go back to change my clothes first. Wait a minute, I want to announce something." Cheng Mo handed the stone in his hand to Yan Hai.

Yan Hai took the stone doubtfully, and his body tilted uncontrollably. He didn't expect that the stone looked small but was quite heavy. He thought that Master Cheng Mo was quite strong.
