Although they didn't have digging tools but they were able to easily dig the soil with their magic claws. What surprised Dean was that Zaxi's magic marks not only had a strong attack ability but was also particularly good at drilling. In just ten minutes he was able to reach a depth of 100 meters. He was able to touch the deepest layer of rock in the area.
"There is iron in these stones but it has rusted. It should be used by the people in the ancient era to cast buildings." Jason said after a moment of observation.
"The people in the ancient era were very intelligent. I feel that they were smarter than us." Zaxi replied. He didn't want to embarrass Jason by talking to himself.
Dean frowned: "We have to move fast. We are not sure if there is any iron ore in this area. If there isn't then we have to move to another place."
Jason stopped chatting and followed behind Zaxi to help him transport the soil.
After a few hours, the three of them worked together to dig a deep well with a depth of four to five hundred meters. They mined some impurities iron ore and inferior copper ore from the deepest rock layer. There were also some other element minerals. They even mined a very small piece of gold.
Although the output was low and it was many times worse than some of the big mining areas but it was barely enough for Dean.
He let Jason and Zaxi continue to mine the ore while he dug a pit more than 20 meters deep. He used ordinary stones to build a wall around the pit and made an underground furnace.
When Jason returned to the surface, he saw Dean busy in the pit. He curiously asked: "What is he doing?"
"Refining iron ore."
"Do you know how to refine it?"
"Otherwise why would I ask you to find iron ore?"
"Uh …"
Jason was choked by Dean and couldn't speak. He smiled slightly, but he wasn't angry. He had some understanding of Dean's temperament along the way, so he didn't care. He laughed and said, "You are right. Do you need my help?"
"Can you cast a stone pot out of the stone?" Dean asked.
Jason thought for a moment: "I should be able to …"
"Then go and find firewood. The more the better." Dean said.
Jason coughed helplessly, looked around the plains, and snuck towards the forest in the south.
Dean built the underground furnace and sealed all the holes around it. He looked at Jason and Zaxite who were resting and watching him: "You come to light the fire and wash the ore."
Tashi looked at him curiously. "Have you smelted iron before?"
"No."
"Then how do you know?"
"I'm smart."
"…"
The short chat ended again. Zaxi Te obediently jumped down, picked up the firewood that Jason brought back, and threw it to the bottom of the furnace. Dean saw that the bottom of the stone-built stove was filled with firewood. The flame was extremely weak. He slightly shook his eyebrows, "You don't know how to make a fire?"
Zaxit was stunned. "Isn't it already asleep?"
"The fire is too small."
"But the firewood is already full."
"The firewood is full. How can there be room for flames?"
Zaxi Te was stunned. Although he hadn't done this kind of work, but he understood Dean's words. He immediately took out half of the firewood and the flame became bigger.
Zaxi Te was surprised. He shook his head and smiled, "I didn't expect these simple things to have so many tricks."
On the other side, Jason looked at the various minerals piled up next to him. He scratched his head: "Do we need to wash the iron ore? There isn't a lot of water here …"
Dean shook his head, "I'll wash it. You can classify the minerals."
Jason coughed: "How do we classify them?"
Dean was silent. He bowed his head and picked up the minerals. He distinguished the iron ore from the copper ore, coal, oil sands and so on.
Jason observed Dean's classification and soon learned it. He also followed according to the law. Then he saw Dean rubbing the sticky stones on the surface of the iron ore and the raised grains of sand.
"Is this ore washing?" Jason was stunned.
Dudian slowly said: "It's a simple cleaning of the iron ore, so as to avoid other trace mineral elements in it. It would be more troublesome to refine."
Jason understood and followed suit, cleaning up the iron mine.
Dean waited until the temperature of the underground furnace was almost the same. He threw the cleaned iron ore into the furnace and covered it with a huge stone cover. He let Zaxi Te continue to light the fire.
Jason took the initiative to collect firewood when there was not much firewood left.
Dean used the remaining stones to build a wall next to the furnace. Zaxi Te saw that Dean had built a wall to surround the furnace. He asked: "These stones can't stop the monster's attack. Do you want to dig some harder granite?"
Dean glanced at him, "This is a shelter from the rain."
Zaxi Te was surprised for a moment. He decided not to take the initiative to talk to Dudian.
Dean saw Zaxi Te's figure turn back when he finished building the wall. There was no firewood in his hands but he was holding … a figure?
Dean's pupils shrank as he looked at Jason.
Soon, he saw that Jason was holding a human in his arms, but it was a zombie infected with the virus.
Jason ran all the way to the front of Dean and threw the undead to the ground. She looked like she was in her twenties, but her mouth was split open, and her fangs were completely exposed. They were about the length of a finger, so that her whole lips couldn't close. Her face was distorted, and her eyes were red. There was no rational brilliance, only brutality.
Zaxi Te noticed the Undead here and quickly jumped up. He said in surprise, "Undead? There are Undead here? "
Dean immediately said: "You go and light the fire first. Once the temperature drops it will be difficult to raise it again."
Zaxi Te looked at him but eventually turned back to the underground furnace and continued to light the fire.
Dean squatted down to check the clothes of the Undead. They were tattered and stained with dried brown blood. Her chest was exposed but her skin was wrinkled. She had been exposed all year round. Her skin was as dark as an African's. But the woman was not an African but an Asian.
Dean carefully identified for a moment before recognizing that the style of the clothes was from the old era. The expectation in his heart suddenly fell. He said to Jason, "It's the undead from the previous era. It is estimated that this land is the same as the land inside the War God's Wall. There are monsters and undead everywhere. There are also fire dragons."
