Chapter 2044 The Greedy Mine
Although the clown revealed his fetish, in the end he sided with the Ripper, leaving the cannibal isolated and helpless.

Fortunately, the cannibal's passion was no joke; even when he was alone, he steadfastly defended his hobby.

"Alright, enough joking around, let's get serious."

The cannibal adopted a solemn and serious expression. The Ripper, as expected of a genius doctor, explained the great benefits to him from a medical perspective, and he was almost swayed. He had no choice but to change the subject by talking about serious matters.

The Ripper sighed regretfully. Only by assimilating the ogres could they understand his pain and stop talking without any real understanding of his situation.

Their target is the Greedy Region, the only Sin Region that was not previously uninhabited.

This is the orc territory, and even the largest and richest mine in the world. One reason for this is that the orcs mostly use bone or stone weapons and are not very skilled in forging, so the mining of mineral veins is very limited.

Players have an extraordinary demand for ores, so this place used to be the busiest place in the orc territory. However, after the upheaval, some things changed.

There are different grades of mineral veins, with the most noble being those that form totems. These veins not only contain totem incarnations, but the minerals themselves are also extremely rare and can regenerate even after dramatic upheavals.

The lowest grade is this large mine in the orc territory, which is not a totem vein; once it is completely mined out, there will be nothing left.

Although players refer to these non-totem mineral veins as inferior, it is not out of contempt, but rather a spontaneous act of protection, trying not to touch these non-renewable resources.

As a result, the mine became less and less popular, and since the orcs had a better source of income—food—they stopped coming here, and the mine was abandoned.

Now, due to a series of reasons, the mine has fallen into the hands of the savage orcs and, after development, has become the Greedy Region it is today.

"This is truly astonishing." The clown gasped as he looked at the scene before him.

Because orcs have different standards for judging villainous players, he also came to this mine to collect resources. Compared to the cracks that used to be like the gaping maw of the earth, it has now become a huge, bowl-shaped mine pit.

The entire pit extends downwards in a spiral shape, with the bottom layer, like an abyss, shining outwards like reflective metal or glass.

It looks like it holds a hidden treasure, yet it also exudes a strong sense of danger.

"The ultimate element of gold represents wealth, harvest, and contraction. However, because it lacks the growth of 'wood' and the flow of 'water,' it only continuously converges and accumulates, like a funnel that constantly draws everything towards the center, only taking in and not giving out." The Ripper read the forger's annotation on the map.

Unfortunately, in other regions, it's possible to use equipment and skills with corresponding attributes based on the feng shui counter-relationships to deal tons of damage, but this method is useless in this Greedy Region.

Greed arises from a lack of wood and water, but the metal element itself restrains the wood element, so the wood element is ineffective, while the water element itself has no restraining relationship with the metal element.

As for the fire element, which counters the metal element, releasing fire in the mine can only melt the metal and turn it into a liquid state, but it will actually create an environment that is detrimental to them.

In conclusion, they have no choice but to fight head-on.

Fortunately, their hard power is not a problem.

Although they happened to be online as three idle people, they had a very high compatibility when it came to teaming up.

The guild boasts a formidable team of three: the Ogre, a high-burst tank capable of acquiring different biological traits through feeding; the Ripper, the fastest member of the guild, skilled in various anatomical techniques; and the versatile, high-burst Clown, who also possesses a variety of emergency rescue skills. This trio is sufficient to handle any situation.

Most importantly, they are not like the "Rust Gospel," who are aiming for decapitations and simply gathering intelligence.

"Then I'll go first."

The ogre walked at the front, taking out a magazine from his waist.

This is a meatball magazine he made for fun. It contains mixed meatballs made by a drug addict, which can be ejected and eaten directly.

He selected the magazine labeled "Exploration," which contained his research project on a reconnaissance unit. Since combat capabilities weren't a factor, he used low-cost monster materials.

After consuming it, his body surface did not change, but his organs underwent mutations. His eyes became compound eyes with heat-sensing function, the hair on his body stood up slightly to sense air vibrations, his tongue protruded to obtain taste in the air, and his ears stood up to hear sound waves.

Normal humans could never suddenly adapt to such a terrifying amount of information. It might be possible for a counterfeiter, but the cannibal only has well-developed motor skills; his senses are not yet extraordinary. Therefore, he honestly activated the auxiliary system.

From his perspective, it was still a normal field of view, except for a few small screens with different viewpoints.

"do not move."

The ogre reached out and stopped the two people behind him, his expression turning serious.

"We probably can't force an attack here; there are too many traps."

On what appears to be an ordinary, spiraling downward path, the sound waves reveal its true nature: traps of all kinds fill every corner, making it almost a trap at every step.

The vast majority of these are drop traps, causing people to fall directly down the spiral tunnel and die. Forget about large-scale military attacks; given the density of these traps, the more people there are, the more disadvantageous it becomes.

Moreover, even if these traps are discovered, the traps are already effective simply by carefully avoiding them.

As for direct airdrops, unless you land like a superhero, you'll be riddled with bullets by the savage orcs hiding in the shadows while you're still in mid-air.

Here you have two choices: explore and move forward, or jump down directly.

If you jump right down, a big battle is inevitable, and it would be a shame not to take the opportunity to challenge the final boss.

If we were to proceed cautiously, even if the ogres detected all the traps, it would still take a considerable amount of time.

“Or we could combine the two options and smash through all the traps along the way.” The ogre took out a piece of meat the size of a pigeon egg and gave a mysterious smile.

"I call it the Super Fierce Thunder Combo. Do you know where this name comes from?"

"It's Heroes Academia, right? And it's the Taiwanese version."
