For the next few days, Han Shuo stayed in the cemetery of death, studying the book "Beginner Magics of Necromancy" while taking care of the "Original Demon Cave".
Making use of the round green ball that most likely belonged to the cemetery of death, Han Shuo would receive a large increase in mental strength every time his head was in severe pain.
Except, as the number of times he used the round green ball increased, Han Shuo could clearly feel that the rate at which his mental strength increased became slower and slower. It looked like this strange round green ball wouldn't be able to help him continue increasing his mental strength. As the number of times increased, the benefits that Han Shuo received became smaller and smaller.
On this day, Han Shuo meditated for a while and left the cemetery of death after injecting fresh blood and magical yuan into the "Original Demon Cave".
After patrolling the vicinity where he'd met the dwarves last time, Han Shuo discovered traces of a dwarf and followed this dwarf without batting an eyelid. Han Shuo finally discovered this dwarf after walking for a while and stopped in front of a hidden cave entrance.
There were lush shrubbery near the cave entrance, and it was obvious that the surroundings had been purposefully arranged. If it wasn't for the dwarf moving some large leaves away after arriving here, Han Shuo wouldn't have discovered that there was a cave here.
After observing the vicinity of the cave entrance, Han Shuo discovered that a few dwarves had appeared nearby. They held iron shovels and hammers as they walked into the cave one by one. After a while, Bennett, who'd given Han Shuo a bag of fine wine, was supported out of the cave by two dwarves. He looked like he'd suffered a bit of injury.
A faint sound traveled from afar, and Han Shuo's ears were sharp. He could immediately tell that it was the sound of magical creatures approaching. He crouched on the branch of a large tree and waited for a while. Han Shuo saw two Windblade Wolves slowly appear in the distance.
His thoughts raced, Han Shuo broke off a branch from the large tree and threw it towards the shrubs next to the cave entrance. The sound of the branches falling to the ground clearly attracted the Windblade Wolves. Two of them moved upon hearing the sound and suddenly changed direction with brisk footsteps, heading towards the entrance of the cave where the dwarves were waiting.
By the time Bennett and the other two dwarves had heard the commotion and looked around, the two Windblade Wolves had already appeared in their sights.
"Oh, damn it, it's a Windblade Demonic Wolf. Let's hurry back to the cave!" The injured Bennett couldn't help but grumble when he saw the two Windblade Wolves appear and planned to return to the cave.
"Bennett, it's too crowded in the cave. If these two Windblade Wolves follow us into the cave, then they'll be in danger." One of the dwarves waved the hammer in his hand when he heard Bennett's words.
Hearing his words, Bennett thought for a moment and said, "Mm, then let's kill these two damned Windblade Wolves at the door."
"No, the three of us won't be able to do it. I think we should have the tribesmen in the cave stop mining and join forces to kill these two Windblade Wolves first." The dwarf said.
At this moment, Han Shuo suddenly jumped down from the large tree and arched his body from the ground. He dashed out like lightning and nimbly dashed towards the two Windblade Wolves after revealing himself from the distant shrubbery. The dagger in his hand turned into a bolt of cold lightning as it shot towards one of the Windblade Wolves. Han Shuo followed up quickly like a cheetah and faced the other Windblade Wolf with his bare fists.
The two Windblade Wolves had been eyeing the three dwarves covetously with their backs to Han Shuo. One of the Windblade Wolves had already been stabbed in the back by Han Shuo's dagger. The other Windblade Wolf turned around and a wind blade whistled towards Han Shuo. Han Shuo suddenly changed directions in his rapid flight and miraculously dodged the wind blade attack. His body had already rushed in front of the Windblade Wolf.
The Windblade Wolf that had released a wind blade raised its sharp claws and pounced towards Han Shuo when it saw the enemy in front of it. The crossbow bolt in his left sleeve first landed on the two claws of the Windblade Wolf that was pouncing towards him. Han Shuo's fist, imbued with the frigid air of the "Mystical Glacial Spellfire", had already landed on the Windblade Wolf's head amidst the wolf's screech.
"Ao!" The Windblade Demonic Wolf let out a shrill cry. Cold air emanated from its body, and it fell to the ground like a piece of frozen meat.
On the other side, the two dwarves suddenly threw out the axes in their hands and smashed them towards the other Windblade Wolf. However, the two dwarves' strength was obviously inferior to Han Shuo's, and the speed at which they threw their axes wasn't too fast. The already injured Windblade Wolf was actually able to dodge them.
However, while it could dodge the two dwarves' axes, it couldn't dodge the crossbow bolt that Han Shuo had shot at close range. In the end, the Windblade Wolf was unable to escape and fell down powerlessly.
"Oh, heroic friend, you've saved Bennett again. How can I thank you?" The injured Bennett couldn't help but cry out in surprise when he saw Han Shuo finish off the two Windblade Wolves.
Han Shuo only stopped after he'd expertly taken away the two Windblade Wolves' cores and furs. He smiled faintly, "You shouldn't thank me. These two Windblade Wolves were my prey to begin with. I didn't help you, but it was your two friends who helped me with their axes!"
"You're too polite. Eh? Don't you want the bodies of the wolves?" One of the dwarves looked at Han Shuo with surprise when he saw that Han Shuo had taken away the cores and furs of the Windblade Wolves, but hadn't cared about the bodies at all.
"Yes, I only need the cores and furs of the Windblade Wolves. That's the only way I can sell them for a good price."
"Then, dear friend, can you give us the bodies of the Windblade Wolves?"
"Of course I can, but what do you want the bodies of the Windblade Wolves for? They don't have much value."
"The bodies of the Windblade Wolves can be cooked into food." Bennett looked oddly at Han Shuo and explained, "To us, the meat of the Windblade Wolves is an extremely delicious type of meat!"
Han Shuo had eaten the meat of the Windblade Wolves before and felt that it was a bit dry and hard to chew. It didn't seem to be a delicious type of meat. He hadn't thought that these dwarves would be interested in it. Han Shuo felt that it was a bit odd when he heard Bennett say this. However, dwarves weren't humans, and perhaps their habits were different. Han Shuo thought to himself.
"Right, what are you doing here?" Han Shuo asked.
"This is a mine that we discovered. There are some copper and iron ores inside, but the inside often collapses. The large rocks inside the mine will fall down and it's very difficult and dangerous to mine. Quite a few of our tribesmen have been injured, and another tribesman was crushed to death a few days ago. I was accidentally hit by a rock just now and had no choice but to retreat. " Bennett seemed to be quite fond of Han Shuo and didn't even hesitate before revealing the secret that the dwarves were keeping.
The other two dwarves had wanted to stop Bennett, but didn't even have the time to speak when they discovered that Bennett had already finished speaking. They couldn't help but blow at their beards and glare at Bennett, as if reprimanding him for speaking without thought.
"So that's how it is. If you don't mind, I can help you mine the mine. I think that with my help, you'll be in much less danger." A thought struck Han Shuo and he suggested with a smile.
"No, it's too dangerous inside. You'll be crushed by rocks if you go in. If you encounter a large area of collapse, there'll be no way to walk out and you'll be trapped until you die." Bennett reminded kindly.
"Don't worry, I won't do it myself. I'm a necromancer and can summon necromancers to help you mine the mine. There won't be any problems." Han Shuo said with a smile.
"If that's the case, then I'll go in and discuss it with them and see if they agree." Bennett thought for a moment and said this, allowing the two dwarves to support him as they re-entered the mine.
After a while, one of the dwarves walked out and said politely to Han Shuo, "Honored friend, we're willing to share the secrets of this mine with you. Please come in and mine this mine with us!"
Delighted, Han Shuo said humbly, "Thank you for your trust, I'm very happy to work with you."
After saying this, the dwarf first dragged the bodies of the two Windblade Wolves into the mine and then covered the entrance with leaves with Han Shuo. Finally, he led Han Shuo into the mine.
