Chapter 73 Amazing Discovery
The sunlight shone gold-shattered spots through the gaps between the leaves. Horn looked up at the angle of the light. It was around ten o'clock in the morning.
"Where did this monkey go?!"
The snow spots sniffed along the temperature, and everyone followed behind and shouted every distance.
Suddenly, Xue Dian sniffed and accelerated his pace. Horn asked through the spiritual connection of the Magic Pet Contract, and it turned out that Xue Dian smelled blood.
His heart was raised to his throat.
Don't have any trouble!
Soon, Fitt saw a green creature slumping on the grass in front of the hill, with a pool of blood around it.
"It's the escaped goblin!"
Everyone walked quickly to the corpse of the goblin. There was a blood hole caused by a crossbow arrow on the back of the goblin's head. The left ear, which was used as a mission certificate, had been cut off.
Horn couldn't help but feel confused.
What happened?!
This monkey has time to cut the ears of the goblins and draws off crossbow arrows, so he should not be in danger.
Karin put her hands on the trumpet and put her mouth in a trumpet shape: "Monkey!"
"I'm here!"
A monkey's response came from the hill beside him. Everyone's heart that had been hanging around finally let go, but they looked around but could not see the monkey.
"Where are you?"
"Here is here! Here!"
At this time, Horn discovered that the monkey's voice actually came from the rock wall covered by vines.
As everyone was watching, the monkey spread the vines and came to everyone.
Fitt looked at the monkey with bad eyes. Kalyn hugged her arms and widened her eyes wide. Horn was also a little angry, waiting for the monkey's explanation.
Seeing that all his companions were all unkind, the monkey immediately understood that his disappearance made everyone angry and looked at everyone with a smirk: "Sorry! Sorry! I found a hidden natural cave, and couldn't help but enter the exploration, and suddenly forgot the time."
As he said that, he pointed to the vine beside him: "This cave is so secret. If this goblin hadn't run around and broke in, I wouldn't have discovered it."
"Ahem! Since it's okay, forget it. Be careful next time and don't worry us anymore."
The monkey looked at Horn gratefully, then looked at Kalyn and Fitt guiltily: "Sorry, I will pay attention next time, I will pay attention."
My friends who have been playing together since childhood have apologized repeatedly, and Karin and Fit's faces have eased a lot.
"Don't be like this next time. I'm so worried," Karin patted her heart in fear.
Fette glanced at the vine that had closed again. If the monkey hadn't jumped out of here, he wouldn't have found a hole here: "Monkey, have you found anything in the hole?"
Speaking of discovery, the monkey looked excited: "Guess what I found!"
Without waiting for his companions to guess, he answered everyone's questions: "Iron ore!"
"Really?!" Horn was stunned at first, then was surprised.
No matter which country, iron is an extremely important strategic resource. Building agricultural tools requires iron, and building weapons and armor requires iron. It is not an exaggeration to say that iron has penetrated into all aspects of human civilization.
It is precisely because of the importance of minerals that the Empire has always inspired adventurers to explore nature, provide information on various minerals, and offer generous rewards.
In other words, as long as everyone reports this news to the Lord of Baiyan City, they can receive a large bounty after the official Baiyan City investigation and confirmation. The bounty will definitely be much more profitable than this mission.
Kalyn looked excited: "Monkey! Are you sure it is an iron ore?!"
"Uh..., not sure, I'm not a professional surveyor," the monkey recalled: "Anyway, it's very similar to iron ore. Fitt has a piece of iron ore, which looks similar to the one in the cave."
"I won't say so much, I'll know if I go and take a look."
As he said that, Fette opened the vines and looked inside, and everyone hurriedly followed.
After spending so long with his teammates, Horn also knew about Fitt's background. His father was a country blacksmith. Later, his parents died of illness and both died. They were adopted by their uncle Crair Flash Blade. This guy's former ideal was to become a blacksmith and have the habit of collecting ores.
Pulling open the vines with a rough touch, Horn saw the scene inside. It was a diagonally downward hole. The entrance to the hole was a little small, and he needed to walk forward.
The more you go inside, the darker the light becomes, and the monkey lights the torch.
After walking for a short distance, the space became larger, and Horn ignited the light technique to illuminate the surrounding rock walls.
The underground rock wall is different from ordinary rock walls. It is dark red in color and smells a bit pungent.
Fitt touched the rough rock wall: "That's right, it's iron ore, and the content is not low."
"Great! Monkey! You made a great contribution this time!" Kalyn turned to the Dharma: "Hone marks the position."
Horn took out and expanded the map, found the location of Qingshi Village, calculated the direction, time, speed of his and others, and estimated the approximate location here based on the terrain along the way.
He glanced at the map and found a specially marked house on the map - Golden Orchid Manor.
Golden Orchid Manor is the base camp of the Obike family, the owner of Golden Orchid Chamber of Commerce. They have been rooted in this for several generations.
"It seems that this place is not far from the Golden Orchid Manor."
"Wood has to thank us very much when he looks back. This place is so close to their family, and he will definitely be able to obtain the right to mine iron ore."
Bang!
A strange noise came from the depths of the cave. Everyone who was about to walk back stopped suddenly, and the shaking torch shone on everyone's faces, and the light and darkness were mixed.
"What was the sound just now?"
Bang!
Another muffled sound came, and everyone couldn't help but look at the deep cave, which was deep and long, like the esophagus of a giant beast.
"This place will not lead to the dark area, right!"
"It's better to find out. Let's go a little further," Karin pulled out her sword, and everyone was ready for battle.
After walking for a while, everyone smelled a stench of rotting corpses, which made them feel dangerous and couldn't help but see each other.
Fitt was a little swaying: "Continue or go back?"
"I'll go and see it alone, I'll run fast."
"Wait," Horn called the monkey who was about to act: "Snow Point runs faster than you, and this is underground, and it is the home court of underground wolves, let Snow Point go."
"Hone's words make sense," Kalyn nodded in favor.
Horn sat down against the rock wall, closed his eyes and communicated with the snow dot, and connected the senses of the snow dot through contracts.
After switching to the perspective of the snow point, Horn discovered how perverted the dark vision of the creature underground wolf is. It can even see the dark corners that cannot be shined with.
"Go, it's snowing."
The owner's voice sounded in his mind. Snow Dot moved his four legs and rubbed against the rock wall and moved forward quickly, as if a ghost disappeared silently in everyone's sight.
The wolf's nose is more sensitive than that of humans, and the odor becomes clearer and clearer.
Finally, Horn saw the source of the stinking of the corpse and was shocked - it was a pile of corpses, with at least hundreds of people, and the ones below were even rotten to reveal their bones, while the corpses above were still very fresh.
The bodies seemed to have been thrown from above, and there were other entrances in the cave.
He made a judgment in his heart and carefully observed the uppermost corpse, with the marks of shackles on his wrists and ankles.
These people were shackles before their lives, and they were forced to combine with the rich iron ore resources here.
