She looked at the mine again. Due to the limited space, dozens of miners were scattered in every corner of the mine. Each of them was given a shovel, a bundle of ropes, and a few bamboo baskets.
Although the purple gold ore was beautiful, it was also one of the most difficult ores to collect on the mainland.
Unlike ordinary ores, before the purple gold ore was mined, it could not be bombarded with magic, nor could it be excavated by brute force. Otherwise, the whole cave would collapse. It could only be collected by physical means, which was the common sense of manual work.
Therefore, even though this group of mysterious people had many mages and warriors, they still chose to capture villagers to collect.
Yun Sheng and Liu Zi listened and began to collect the purple gold ore.
"These stones are really hard." Liu Zi waved the shovel. He used a lot of strength to dig out a little bit of the purple gold ore.
Although Liu Zi was older than Yun Sheng, he had never really learned martial arts. On the other hand, Yun Sheng had trained in Wuxuan Wuji School for a while and her strength had improved.
However, she soon found that it was very difficult to excavate the purple gold ore with brute force.
Hour later, Yun Sheng had only excavated about five catties of purple gold ore. Liu Zi was even worse, only about two catties. At this rate, it was unlikely that the two of them would be able to collect fifty catties of purple gold ore before nightfall.
Looking at the other villagers, Liu Zi's father was the one who had excavated the most, about twenty catties. The other villagers also had about ten catties.
Due to the large amount of mining some time ago, the ores in sight were almost all collected by the villagers.
As for the few pieces of ores that were like pillars supporting the sky, Yun Sheng and Liu Zi could not move them at all.
"Liu Zi, let's go to the north and take a look." Yun Sheng pointed to a corner in front of them. The purple gold ore mine was temporarily excavated and extended in all directions. The place where Yun Sheng and the others were staying now had the densest distribution of ores, but most of them were almost completely excavated.
"Don't go too far. If there are not enough ores later, I will share some with you." Liu Zi's father reminded them and buried himself in mining again.
Yun Sheng and Liu Zi walked to the other end of the mine, which was much more concealed than before.
After turning a few corners, Yun Sheng soon saw a diamond-shaped purple gold ore area.
"Liuzi, keep an eye on the surroundings." Yun Sheng had Liuzi keep watch while she stealthily summoned a Phantom Beast from the Ling Long Beast Tower.
"Vice Commander, what is this?" Seeing this unassuming and ugly beast, Liu Zi was a little surprised. He glanced at Yun Sheng and wondered where she had conjured this magic beast from.
"It's a type of magical beast. Our speed of collecting purple gold ore is not as fast as the other villagers, and we can't use magic. I want to try using this little guy." When Yun Sheng had killed the leader of the Shadow Beast Corps, she had obtained a few magical beast belts and a few Phantom Beasts as an additional reward.
This Phantom Beast was much better at digging than most earth-type magicians. It was an improved version of a pangolin.
"You mean this thing can mine purple gold ore?" Liu Zi was still in disbelief.
"You will know when you see it." If today's experiment was successful, it would not be as simple as mining purple gold ore.
Yun Sheng's Ling Long Beast Tower was known as one of the most mysterious treasures in the Boundless Land. Any magical beast that stayed in the Ling Long Beast Tower for a while would either evolve or mutate.
Xiao Hei and the Puffed Egg were both evolving. This Phantom Beast did not evolve directly due to its ordinary grade. However, there was a certain mutation in its body.
Its shell, which was originally incomparably hard and rock-like, now seemed to be plated with a layer of gold and had mutated into a golden color. It looked like an enlarged version of a scarab. Yun Sheng simply called it the Fantasy Gold Beast.
Five sharp and narrow golden claws grew out of its hands and feet.
The Golden Fantasy Beast put its claws together to form a natural shovel. It aimed at a piece of purple gold ore that was half buried in the ground and dug hard with its claws.
A cloud of dust rose, and a pile of rock chips quickly piled up beside the purple gold ore that was originally difficult to excavate. A piece of purple gold ore that could be said to be perfect was completely dug out in 15 minutes.
"That's amazing. This piece of purple gold ore is at least more than five kilograms." Liu Zi's eyes were shining. If not for the Golden Fantasy Beast's ferocious appearance, Liu Zi might have kissed it a few times.
It could be expected that with a few more Golden Fantasy Beasts, this extremely rich purple gold ore vein could be excavated quickly in a short period of time.
"You keep watch here first. I'll look around." Yun Sheng was very curious about the origin of this purple gold ore vein.
Her five senses were very sharp. As long as someone was within a mile of her, she could quickly detect it.
When she entered the purple gold ore mine, Yun Sheng vaguely felt a strong energy. The reason why she chose to walk north of the mine was that she could vaguely feel that the deeper she went into the mine, the stronger the energy fluctuation became.
However, neither the mysterious person nor the villagers focused on mining in this area. The reason was that the amount of purple gold ore in this area was greatly reduced compared to the mine they had entered at the beginning.
The purple gold ore exposed on the surface was scattered and very inconspicuous.
Yun Sheng walked all the way to the bottom of the mine and there was no more road ahead. Only then did she stop.
Yun Sheng stood in front of a wall. She knocked on the wall with her hand and found that the wall was very hard. Perhaps because no one had passed by it for many years, a thick layer of moss grew on the wall. However, the color of the moss was fiery red.
Yun Sheng took out a scalpel and scraped off the layer of moss on the wall. The original color of the wall was revealed.
"Eh, the color seems to be different." Yun Sheng found that the color of this wall was completely different from the purple gold ore outside and the basalt on the ground. It was like a red copper ore.
The mysterious person had also noticed this red ore before. They only determined that this red ore was an ordinary copper ore.
There were many copper ores on the Boundless Land. Moreover, due to the application of magicians and various weapons that were not inferior to iron, copper ores were very cheap.
Therefore, the appearance of this red copper ore wall was determined to be the end of this purple gold ore vein.
However, Yun Sheng did not think that this wall was a copper ore wall. This was because she used the scalpel in her hand to poke at the wall. She found that the blade of the scalpel, which was as hard as iron, was actually curled up.
How could such a strong wall be made of copper ore?
Yun Sheng's heart skipped a beat. She placed her hand on the wall and softly chanted a fire spell.
The scorching fire spell swarmed towards the wall. However, to her surprise, the wall still did not move an inch. There was not even a trace of heat.
"This is amazing." Yun Sheng could not help but raise her eyebrows.
She really wanted to know what was behind that wall.
"Deputy Commander, it's almost time." Liu Zi's voice came from the other end of the cave.
