Lu woke up on the fifth day, and by this time, everyone in the Northfield team had already made their own adjustments.

However... there is one exception, this person has a sad look on his face.

"In other words, Roland, do you want us to go to the Xuanwu Mountains to the north of the island to look for basalt mines?"

"Xuanwu mine?"

"Yes, basalt ore is a kind of ore that emits black light in appearance, has strong hardness, and is somewhat transparent. As long as it is carefully cut and polished carefully, it can be made into a very good handicraft or art piece. When casting swords,

The materials are also very good, which are needed to repair the double swords. But..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that basalt ore seems to only be formed in a very special environment. Now it can only be found in the mountains on this island. But... I read in the book that monsters that feed on basalt ore have recently appeared.

, so that the recent mining volume has been extremely reduced.”

"Well, that's it...it is indeed necessary to use basalt ore..."

"That's all we can do...otherwise we can't repair Bai Yao and Hei Ye..."

"I'll tell everyone and let's go together."

After briefly explaining the whole story, everyone in the Northfield team gathered together. Apart from them, there was another person, and that was Qin Yin.

Kotone and Nanase lost all their teammates in the third preliminaries of the Holy Warrior Festival. Although they both deserved their death, if the two of them just returned to the Empire of the Rising Sun, they would also end up dead. In the end, everyone

Under the persuasion, they all decided to move to the Kingdom of Lunlir, and Nanase, as the protector of Kotone, was supposed to accompany Kotone together...

However, Nanase met the members of the Sword of the King of War in the preliminaries of the Holy Warrior Festival. Although he did not withdraw, he still suffered some injuries, so he stayed in his room to recuperate today, and Yuro and the others were with Kotone.

, she was naturally very relieved.

"Is the destination the mountains in the north of this island? It's far away from here..."

"Qinyin, can your body bear it?" (Alice)

"Well, it doesn't matter, because I also played with Mr. Lu when I was in the Empire of the Rising Sun."

"I see, Lu, you and Kotone played together when we were in the Empire of the Rising Sun?"

"Yes, but at that time I was too weak, so Lu Jun carried me back in the end. It was so embarrassing."

"That's right..."

"Well, my body is much better now than it was then. Just think of it as exercise."

"Alice, you too, it may be a bit difficult for you. Your physical strength seems to be about the same as Qinyin."

"I have no problem."

"That's good, where are you, Althea and Selena?"

"I exercise regularly, there is no problem."

"I have been growing up on the island since I was a child. Hunting with my adoptive father is a common thing. There will be no physical exhaustion."

"Where are you, second brother?"

"It's no problem, it's just like taking a walk."

As a result, about 1 hour later...

"Not here yet? I'm almost exhausted..."

"It's so embarrassing, Alsia, you still said that you have been exercising..."

"Selena, can you please stop saying that..."

Unexpectedly, the first person to feel exhausted was Alsia. After walking for about an hour, she was already out of breath.

Fortunately, they didn't stop because of this. After walking for a while, they arrived at their destination mountain range.

"The quarry of Xuanwu Mine is probably in this area, right? Third brother."

"That's right, it's almost there."

"Wait a minute...I'm so tired. Let me take a rest." (Alsia)

Althea finally couldn't bear it anymore, and after hearing her wailing, they finally decided to take a rest.

"It seems that I have to strengthen my physical exercise after I go back. Even Alice didn't complain about being tired, but I already cried tiredly many times."

"Well, that's true. Wasn't Alice's physical strength weaker than yours before?" (Selena)

"That's right, Alice's physical strength seems to be much stronger than before, and even her magic power is much stronger than before." (Alsia)

"Even if your physical strength and magic power have increased because you have become stronger, isn't it too much?" (Selena)

"That's it..." (Alsia)

"Ah! Look there, everyone."

"What's wrong? Selena."

"There, look."

Where Selena pointed, there were several molluscs with shells on their backs clinging to the rock wall and wriggling. And there was not just one, there were many.

"What is that?"

"This is a monster called a rock snail."

"Rock snail?"

Qinyin has not heard of this kind of monster, and everyone in the Northfield team has not heard of it. Selena, the only one who knows this kind of monster, explained to them: "This is a relatively rare monster. It likes to absorb

On rocks, it generally won't harm humans."

At this time, the rock snails began to slowly climb down from the rock, and then began to move very neatly like an army advancing.

"He's gone..."

"I don't know what I'm doing..."

There were countless potholes left on the rock where the rock snail had stayed. At this time, Lu squatted down and observed the potholes.

"What's wrong? Lu, what are you looking at?" (Selena)

"I want to take a look at these potholes and maybe I can find something."

The hole created by the rock snail was deeper than expected, and Lu couldn't reach the bottom even if she put all her hands in it.

"Um……?"

"Lu, did you find anything?"

"There seems to be something deep in the cave. Let me take a look..."

Lu stretched out her hand and took out something like that.

"It's a beautiful stone, with black fragments shining brightly."

Roland came closer and took a look and immediately exclaimed: "This is the Xuanwu Mine!"

The small piece of ore in Lu's hand was exactly basalt ore, but... it was as if strong acid had been poured on that piece of basalt ore, and part of it was dissolved.

"Third brother, are these the original stone fragments from the Xuanwu Mine?"

"So... do those rock snails actually feed on basalt ore?"

"I see. Is the decrease in Xuanwu mining volume due to these things?"

"Well... maybe they were eaten by those things. It's really a pity..."

"What a waste of resources..."

"Should we investigate carefully? Maybe there are still mineral veins here. Don't let all these precious mineral veins be ruined."

"What the third brother said is correct, we should investigate carefully."

In order to find mineral veins that had not been destroyed, Lu and the others continued to move forward into the mountain. After walking for a while, they moved deeper into the mountain.

"I don't know what's going on in this area..."

"Lu Jun, why don't you dig and investigate, let me do it..."

"No, let us men do it. This is a man's job."

"no problem."

"Okay, Kotone's beautiful nails will become tattered."

"Don't worry about little things like that."

"I'll mind. Qinyin is a girl, so you have to take good care of your body."

"Hmm... Lu is always very gentle at times like this." (Alsia)

"Yeah, otherwise we wouldn't like him." (Selena)

"Please don't say this kind of thing in front of me, okay? Then... how about we dig this area?"

"………………"
