Chapter 36: Treasure Land

It took almost an hour for several people to fight the black scorpion. In the early stage, aside from attacking and defending, Shen Jufeng spent nearly half an hour getting used to finding the weakness of the boss.

It took them a long time to complete the final act. However, it was only in the afternoon, but they don’t know if it was an illusion. About ten minutes after the death of the black scorpion, they heard the noises of other creatures, including insects and birds.

“This time we fought a mutant boss, I don’t know if it will be refreshed.” Lu Jiu wanted to fight again.

Shen Jufeng looked at the desolation of Pingjing Mountain: “Let’s circle the Jinghe District, and come here again to have a look before we leave.”

Based on the principle that there were always good things in the game boss’s territory, Lu Jiu suggested: “Let’s take a good look at Pingjing Mountain to see if there are any ores.”

The discovery of ores in the game world starts in a cave. As if the game world knows that they don’t have explosives and large machines, they have no choice but to dig mountains to find ores by themselves.

“Then look for it, anyway, this mountain is not very big.”

The three of them decided this. After all, digging some good ore can be sold at a good price in the blacksmith shop and the bounty hall.

Pingjing Mountain was a barren mountain. It was not difficult to find a mine. There was no shelter here. Even so, the three of them broke branches and walked all the way.

They quickly went to the side, then started to set off to the other side of the mountain. Lu Jiu swung the branches and knocked on the stones next to her, thinking that if it was a cave, she should be able to see it at a glance.

Just after thinking about it, she stepped on the empty ground: “Ah——” she fell, but what greeted her was not a solid rock mountain. She felt a sense of loss.

She fell into a certain cave, which has a downward slope, but fortunately, it was not a steep downward slope.

“Lu Jiu, are you alright?” Shen Jufeng shouted from the entrance of the cave and was ready to come in to save her.

Lu Jiu patted the ashes on her body. The cave was about two meters high, and she has no problem standing up: “It’s okay, there is a passage here, there may be something good, let’s go down and have a look.”

Shen Jufeng turned his head and shouted to Zhuang Yun: “Let’s go down together, there is a passage here.”

Zhuang Yun bent down and entered the cave.

The cave was very dark, Lu Jiu took out several torches, she was at the front, while the two people behind didn’t see that she was lighting the torches.

“When I came here, I specially asked the manager of the blacksmith shop to customize the torch. This fuel was specially made by the manager of the pharmacy shop. I am extravagant.”

Shen Jufeng: “… …”

Zhuang Yun: “… …”

Rich woman, everything you say is right.

It was said to be a torch, but it was made of iron. There was a hole at the top of the torch, from which the fire comes out. There was no smoke during the burning process.

The three of them continued to move forward, and after walking about 20 meters, they saw ores of different colors exposed on both sides of the mountain. Lu Jiu and Zhuang Yun couldn’t dig it, but Shen Jufeng wanted to go to the end of the cave to have a look.

The further they went in, the wider the passage becomes. In the end, the three of them can walk side by side, until they reached the end.

Looking at the magnificent scene in front of him, Lu Jiu said: “I suspect this is underground, not inside the mountain.”

They have been going down, this should be the bottom of Pingjing Mountain.

In front of the three of them, were large pieces of ores, with different colors connected and shining brilliantly. The mine cave was illuminated by these ores, and even the torches can be put away.

“It’s so beautiful.” Zhuang Yun praised.

These ores were not inferior to those gems on Earth before. The game world was magical.

Shen Jufeng took out a dagger, and used the miner’s skills to dig out a piece of ore: “It’s a good thing, I’ll dig more and bring it back. Then let’s seal the cave before we go back.”

He meant that this was their mine, and he didn’t want the people in Jinghe District to find out.

Lu Jiu couldn’t agree more: “Of course, there are too many minerals here, but I don’t know if it will refresh every day or every few days.”

She wanted to mark this place and let the mining team come here in the future.

Zhuang Yun didn’t have any comments, but it was a pity that he has no camera. He wanted to take pictures of the scene here and show them to his daughter.

Shen Jufeng can’t dig many ores. He was a low-level miner and can only dig low-level ore. In the game world, low-level ore can be used for forging brown iron and ordinary equipment.

Lu Jiu said to Zhuang Yun, “Let’s go to other places to see if there are other good things.” Zhuang Yun nodded and split up with her.

The whole mine was full of ores, if there were different things, it should be easy to see.

Lu Jiu strolled casually on the gravel, only to find that there were ores besides ores, but she soon saw a hole, so is there another mine?

She walked in and found that there were all kinds of gemstones here, and the color was excellent: Oh my god, what kind of treasure is this, besides ores, there are also gemstones?

Gems can be used by the manager of the pharmacy shop. The pharmacist can extract a certain substance from the gems for medicine. Of course, they can also be used as decorations.

She turned her head and called Shen Jufeng: “Shen Jufeng, there is another cave here, full of gems.” Gems were also a kind of mine, and only miners can dig them out.

In just a short while, Shen Jufeng had already dug up hundreds of low-grade ores, and when he heard that there were still gems, he went directly to act.

When he came in, he saw that gems were inlaid on the wall in pieces, without any gaps. It can be seen how abundant the output was.

Then she gave Lu Jiu a look, Lu Jiu immediately understood, and just gestured OK. She would mark this place for the mining team to come.

Zhuang Yun also found a cave on the other side. When he entered, it was full of jadeite. It was the first time he saw this kind of jadeite squeezed together, not rough stones.

However, he only had appreciation in his eyes, and he had no intention of being greedy. He walked out of the cave and wanted to inform Lu Jiu and the others, but unexpectedly, no one came out.

“Miss Lu? Mr. Shen?” He shouted, he probably fell off somewhere when he hit a mechanism.

Someone responded quickly, with a muffled voice: “Here, we’re here.” Zhuang Yun followed the voice into the mine where Lu Jiu and the others were staying.

At this moment, Lu Jiu was watching Shen Jufeng digging gems. Then he saw Zhuang Yun coming in and beckoning him over: “You didn’t hear me calling Shen Jufeng over here just now? What’s wrong? Did you find anything?”

“Yes, I found a jade mine. Jades are sticking on the wall, just like this gem mine.”

The status of this mine became even more important in Lu Jiu’s heart: “This is a treasure land, but I don’t know whether anyone else has visited the mine before we defeated the boss.”

“Even if we beat that boss now, no one would think that this kind of barren mountain has mineral mine.” Zhuang Yun thought that if it was him before, he would probably leave after beating the scorpion.

Shen Jufeng said: “We can’t say that for sure. We will live nearby for a day after digging some amount, and see if anyone else comes here.”

He always felt that after living in the game world for three months, it was impossible not to find out what was in the surroundings. Someone must know about the scorpion, but he was not sure about this mine.

“Okay, if someone knows the mine, let’s dig more before they come.” Lu Jiu thought that she must dig for enough money.

The residents of Jinghe District would be furious if they heard what she said. How could they come to other people’s sites to rob wild monsters and mines?
