Song Qiao said, "Many people have tried, but none have been able to find a large chunk. A Feng, come and take a look." He looked at Lei Xingfeng expectantly. Up until now, the little guy had never disappointed him.
Lei Xingfeng stared at the cliff, sweeping his gaze around. He shook his head. "There really isn't one. Strange, how could this be?" He hung his head dejectedly. Suddenly, a green light flashed in front of his eyes. He immediately checked.
Beneath their feet was a layer of ice, and the entire mountain was buried in it. The green light was coming from below. Lei Xingfeng became excited. "Dig along the cliff and break the ice," he said.
"There's something down there?" Song Qiao asked, surprised.
Xin Zhaolun didn't say a word. He immediately began to attack the ice beneath their feet.
Soon, an ice cave was created. They continued to attack along the ice cave, and in a short while, they arrived in front of the cliff below.
Lei Xingfeng pointed at the cliff and laughed. "Haha, this must be a vein of ore!" The cliff in front of him was covered in a layer of green light. Strangely, only he could see this light. The others could not see this layer of light at all.
Song Qiao's attack caused a large chunk of the cliff to collapse, revealing a dense layer of crystals.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Xin Zhaolun looked at Lei Xingfeng with a strange expression. "It's true … I … I'm so damn lucky! Haha, haha, haha! "
Song Qiao couldn't help but shake his head. He'd been here a few times before, but only after the thousand-leaf silver had been mined did he come to pick up the leftovers. He'd worked so hard to get a small chunk of Laka ore. He hadn't expected there to be a vein of ore hidden here.
"Dig hard. This is hard currency. You can exchange it for anything."
Everyone began to dig hard, following the vein into the mountain.
Since Lei Xingfeng was leading three people, he didn't ask for much. Even if it was an even split, he would still get more than the others.
This was a small mineral vein, but it contained an extremely rich amount of Lachi ore. After it was dug out, all they had to do was pick it up. It was really a nest of nests. As they dug down, everyone had a bountiful harvest.
It was just the beginning, and Xin Zhaolun had already collected enough Great Laka crystals to create the secret door. The rest of the crystals could be used to exchange for other materials. Xin Zhaolun was grinning from ear to ear, this fella was about to die from laughter. How could there be such a good thing? Coming to Hanya Castle, he actually managed to obtain so many materials. He reminded himself again, if he was going to search for materials, he had to bring Lei Xingfeng along no matter what, this guy was a super lucky baby.
Although Song Yao didn't need the Lama crystals anymore, who would complain about having more materials? At this rate, he was confident that he could create another secret door. Even if he didn't, he could make his own weapons and use the crystals to exchange for materials. After this vein was dug out, he estimated that he would have enough materials to trade for.
After a full twenty-four days, the group had dug out the entire vein. With Lei Xingfeng around, not a single Great Laka crystal was left.
Lei Xingfeng checked again, then said, "Very good, there's nothing left. We've dug it all out."
Song Qiao said, "Let's find a place to eat and rest." Although he was a Monarch, digging like this was a bit tiring. Lei Xingfeng and the others were even more tired, with dark circles under their eyes.
Lei Xingfeng also said, "Yeah, I'm exhausted. I'm hungry and cold. It's best to warm up and have some soup."
Jin Daya said, "I agree. We really need to rest, even if it's just for a day."
Song Qiao said, "Come with me. We'll find a place to rest on the way to the heather gravel mine."
Everyone agreed and followed Song Qiao out of the Great Laka mine.
… …
It was a very large ice cave, less than a hundred meters from the ground. Due to the fact that more light could pass through, this ice cave was very bright, especially for those who came out from the depths of the ground. They would definitely be able to see everything clearly.
Among the blue light, a ray of red light scattered. It was a large bonfire burning with oil wood. On top of it was an enormous copper pot, big enough for an ordinary person to bathe in. Inside was all kinds of meat and vegetables, including a large pot of mixed vegetables. This was something Lei Xingfeng had first created in this world. No matter who ate it, they all said it was good.
A group of people sat around the bonfire, each one wrapped in thick furs and sleeping.
XinFeng had already slept for a while, he was actually still fine, as he didn't have to work too hard while excavating the Thousand Leaves Silver Mine, he was only a bit tired from excavating the Laka Mine, but after a short rest, he felt much better. Staring at the large copper pot, he occasionally added some dried vegetables and salted meat, he realized that although the food he had collected was enough, the variety was still lacking, especially when cooking this kind of chowder, it required a large amount of different ingredients, only then would it taste good.
Lei Xingfeng also realized that there were a few ingredients that couldn't be put together. Otherwise, the taste wouldn't be good. He was still thinking about how to make the most delicious mixed vegetables.
After drinking a bowl of hot soup, Lei Xingfeng felt his whole body relax. Although it wasn't as cold as outside, the cold was still very strong. It invaded his body bit by bit, and it was definitely uncomfortable. Drinking a bowl of hot soup seemed to expel the cold from his body.
Those who had woken up also began to eat. Soon, the sound of eating and drinking filled the air, forcing those who were sleeping to get up. They were all starving.
The group ate a whole pot of vegetables and meat, plus large pieces of flatbread.
Lei Xingfeng ate until he couldn't eat anymore. He ate six flatbread the size of a pot lid, and ten more bowls of meat. He ate until he was sweating all over.
Song Qiao rubbed his stomach. "I haven't eaten so much in a long time. Sigh, why didn't I get a disciple like this?"
If it weren't for the fact that Lei Xingfeng's master was powerful, Song Qiao would have captured Lei Xingfeng. This person was too useful. Whether it was mining or cooking, he made people feel comfortable. He sighed in his heart, then let it go. If he couldn't have him, then he might as well try to be friends.
Lei Xingfeng said, "We've been here for so long and haven't seen a single person. Haha."
Song Qiao said, "That's right. It would be bad if we met someone here."
Lei Xingfeng asked, "Why?"
Song Qiao said, "Those who can get here are usually led by Monarchs. Do you think that's good? Monarchs aren't easy to talk to. "
Lei Xingfeng said, "Senior, you're very easy to talk to."
Song Qiao said, "That's with you guys. It's not necessarily the same with outsiders." He never admitted that he was a good person. If outsiders were pleasing to the eye, then so be it. But if they weren't pleasing to the eye, then he'd still want to kill them.
Monarchs were powerful, so most of them did as they pleased. They were many times more dangerous than Sages. There was nothing that could stop a Monarch. Only someone stronger than a Monarch could stop a Monarch. But how many Monarchs were there in a world?
Song Qiao didn't even ask for Xin Zhaolun's opinion in the extreme cold. Even if it brought danger, he didn't hesitate. That was the nature of a Monarch.
After eating, drinking, and sleeping, everyone's spirits were rejuvenated. Everyone's eyes were shining, and they were full of energy. Although mining was extremely boring, the joy of the harvest completely overwhelmed the boredom. Especially when they were resting just now, everyone was secretly calculating their harvest. As long as they calculated it clearly, no one was able to maintain their calm. Everyone was grinning from ear to ear, and even Sister Hong was no exception.
Song Qiao was also very excited. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
It was another long journey, but this time no one complained. They all followed Song Qiao in silence.
Lei Xingfeng had never seen a heather gravel mine before and didn't know what it was used for. But if a Monarch remembered it, then it was important. He didn't need it now, but that didn't mean he wouldn't in the future. He felt very lucky to have the opportunity to come into contact with a high-grade mine.
Four days passed. The distance between the heather gravel mine and the Laka mine was quite far. It took them four days to reach their destination.
The Heather gravel mine had to reach the bottom of the ice layer, which meant that it had to go deep into the ground. The ice layer here was three thousand meters deep, and it was pitch black. Not a single ray of light could pass through. The ice layer was too thick.
Everyone had a torch made of oil wood. Lei Xingfeng found that there was a lot of space between the ice and the ground. The temperature was also quite high. According to Lei Xingfeng's estimation, it was around zero degrees. For them, this temperature was no longer enough to wear fur coats.
Everyone took off their thick coats and changed into their daily clothes. Lei Xingfeng only wore his leather armor, which was made for him by his little sister, Yao Yao.
They didn't walk far before they heard the sound of running water. Lei Xingfeng asked, "Is it a river or a stream?"
"It's a stream," Song Qiao said. "There are many streams here."
The water was very shallow, and the water was very cold. There were many small fish and prawns in it. Although there was no light, there was still a thick layer of moss on the ground. The moss here was all white, and under the light of the torch, it emitted a faint red light.
Lei Xingfeng stepped into the stream, and the cold water poured into his boots. He shivered. "What cold water!" He was already floating in the air.
Song Qiao laughed. "Don't step on the ground. Not far ahead is a swamp. You'll sink in."
Everyone flew up, their feet at least a foot above the ground. This way, they wouldn't lose their footing and fall into the water. Lei Xingfeng's feet crackled with electricity, and in an instant, his boots were dry. He was secretly proud that he didn't need to change his shoes.
"We need to fly higher," Song Qiao said. "Hurry up."
Everyone did as they were told. Song Qiao quickly said, "Okay, we're here."
The ground was pitch black. Even with the light of the torch, it was still pitch black. Song Qiao flew a short distance to the left, then threw the torch in his hand.
Boom!
A ball of flame rose, and everyone saw a stone groove. It was full of oil wood. The torch was thrown in, and the fire quickly ignited.
