Chapter 10 Is This a Wizard?
The Blackrock Mining Area is located in the southwest of Blackrock City. There are more than ten mines in total, covering a very large area.

The mining of shallow mineral veins has hollowed out the surrounding mountain walls, forming an inward valley. Looking inward from the valley mouth, one can see large areas of red-gray and lead-black rocks.

The valley is full of mine carts and railroad tracks. It's obvious that the original lord invested a lot of resources in the construction of this mining area. Unfortunately, decades later, this place has long since turned into a desolate ruin, and the mine carts and railroad tracks are covered with rust.

Kei and Sunan stood side by side in front of the valley entrance, looking at the environment inside.

Behind him were more than a dozen knights and hundreds of soldiers.

Due to the importance of the Black Rock Mining Area, Key mobilized nearly half of the troops in Black Rock City at one time.

Of course, ordinary soldiers could not play a big role in this operation.

Their mission is to guard the retreat route and ensure logistics.

The real main combat force is Sunan, Keyi and more than a dozen knights.

"Is it really okay?"

Qiaoton glanced at the dark entrance of the mine and muttered with some concern:

"I heard from the veterans that those iron-swallowing beasts are very powerful. Wouldn't it be too risky for us to go in with so few people?"

Hearing this, the other knights' eyes flickered.

To be honest, they were all surprised when they heard the lord say that he wanted to clear out the iron-eating beasts in the Black Rock Mine.

The affairs of the Black Rock Mine were well known in Black Rock City, and they had also heard some news about it.

It is said that several previous lords had thought about solving the problem of the Blackrock Mine, but they all failed in the end and lost a lot of manpower.

Over time, no one wanted to attack the Black Rock Mine anymore.

No one expected that Key would suddenly plan to restart the Black Stone Mine.

If Lord Sunan had not said that there was a way to deal with the iron-swallowing beast, they would have raised their objections long ago.

But even so, many people are still a little nervous.

"Qiao Dun, if you continue to shake the morale of the army, I will punish you by not allowing you to drink for a month when I return."

Kai turned around and glared at him.

Qiao Dun's head shrank and he kept silent.

What he likes most is all kinds of fine wine and strong liquor. He cannot live without alcohol. Forbidding him to drink for a month is like asking him to die.

Seeing that Jordan had calmed down, Key turned his head to look at the mine, feeling a little nervous.

After all, he had never seen an iron-eating beast with his own eyes. It would be troublesome if these monsters were more terrifying than what the veterans said.

However, after looking at Sunan beside him, Keyi finally chose to believe his brother and did not show his worries.

Sunan touched the scales on his body.

This is the only piece of scale armor in Blackrock City, and its value is more precious than a set of fine iron armor.

It was originally Key's equipment, but Key was afraid that something might happen to him, so he put the scale armor on him and stuffed a long sword into his hand.

Although Sunan's swordsmanship is poor, it is better than nothing.

"Let's go!"

Following Key's order, everyone lit torches and filed into the mine, leaving only soldiers to guard the entrance.

The shallow mineral veins in the Black Stone Mine had already been mined out, and subsequently several deep wells were drilled deep underground to mine the underlying mineral layers.

The mines are crisscrossed under the rock strata, and every few hundred meters, you can see an oil lamp hanging on the rock wall.

It's just that the oil inside has already evaporated.

A knight held a leather bag, poured oil into the oil lamp, and then lit it.

Soon, flames lit up in the mine tunnel, and the division of light and shadow at extremely long distances outlined a winding trajectory, guiding everyone forward.

As they went deeper, everyone gradually slowed down their pace.

These underground tunnels are bumpy and dimly lit, so if you are not careful you can fall and get a bloody head.

Although all those present were knights with strong physiques, no one wanted to fall flat on their face.

There was complete silence all around. Apart from the sound of people's footsteps and breathing, no other sounds could be heard.

There is no sign of life in the cold and silent underground. If an ordinary person were to walk through such a place alone, he would definitely feel instinctively terrified.

After walking a distance further, the surrounding rock walls finally changed.

A knight holding a torch approached the rock wall. With the help of the firelight, one could clearly see that the surface of the rock was coated with a layer of deep, cold black.

"It's black stone iron ore!" Joton's eyes lit up.

Without him saying anything, everyone present could see it.

Everyone immediately became very careful. Going further ahead, there was a layer of mineral veins that had not yet been mined.

It is very likely that the miners at that time encountered an iron-eating beast in front of them and were forced to stop mining.

This means that they will soon meet the target of this trip.

It turned out that they were not wrong.

After walking about four or five hundred meters forward, everyone soon heard a rustling sound coming from the front, as if something was moving along the ground.

"Be alert! Prepare for battle!" Key said in a deep voice.

Everyone raised their weapons with solemn expressions, staring ahead as if facing a formidable enemy.

Soon, one cat after another emerged from the darkness.

They stepped gracefully through the darkness into the light of the torches, staring at the uninvited guests in front of them with a pair of gray gemstone-like eyes.

Iron-eating beast!
It was exactly the same portrait that Su Nan had seen.

More and more iron-swallowing beasts appeared in the darkness, and a rough count showed that there were more than ten of them, and outside the boundary between light and shadow, there were several pairs of flickering eyes swaying.

More than ten iron-swallowing beasts formed a semicircular encirclement, surrounding everyone.

"These beasts have big appetites. It looks like they want to keep all of us here!"

Knight Brad said in a muffled voice, tightening the huge steel shield in his hand.

He is the knight in Blackrock City whose strength is second only to Key, and he is just one step away from being promoted to a senior knight.

He is two meters tall and is good at using a shield. He is the knight with the best shield skills in Blackrock City and is also a well-known warrior on the battlefield.

After seeing the iron-swallowing beasts up close, Brad could feel that the aura of these monsters would definitely not exceed the level of junior knights, and he immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

"If that's the case, it's actually a good thing. I'm just afraid these beasts will escape."

Kai also noticed it and breathed a sigh of relief.

Their lineup is enough to deal with more than ten monsters at the junior knight level.

The question is how to stop these iron-eating beasts from escaping?

The reality did not leave them time to think, the iron-swallowing beasts quickly launched an attack and pounced on the crowd!

The battle broke out in an instant!
The tunnel was suddenly filled with the endless sound of metal clashing!
Brad raised his shield and smashed an iron-eating beast away. The beast flew more than ten meters away and hit the rock wall with a bang, and stone powder immediately fell down.

But after the Iron-Swallowing Beast stood up, it just shook its head and continued to pounce as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, Brad's brows suddenly frowned.

On the other side, the knights were also in a tough fight.

The body of the Iron-Swallowing Beast was so hard that even a sword filled with fighting spirit could only leave a not very obvious crack when it was chopped on it.

Only Key, a high-ranking knight, can cause significant damage to the Iron-Swallowing Beast.

If the narrow space of the tunnel had not restricted the movement of the iron-swallowing beasts, making it impossible for them to display their swift and agile speed, they would have been even more difficult to deal with.

The battle was not as easy as they expected and it was a stalemate for a while.

Just then, Sunan took action.

He uttered strange syllables and pointed his finger at the same time. In an instant, a ball of acid the size of a basketball formed out of thin air at the tip of his finger, and then flew out and accurately hit an iron-eating beast, covering its face.

Zizizi!
A large amount of pungent white smoke suddenly emerged from the face of the Iron-Swallowing Beast, and its body rolled wildly on the ground, trying to wipe off the corrosive liquid on its face.

There is no weak offensive spell.

Even though acid splash is only a zero-ring spell, its corrosiveness is even more terrible than aqua regia.

A ball of acid the size of an egg is enough to corrode an ordinary adult human male, leaving no trace!
Even though the body of the Iron-Swallowing Beast is extremely hard, it would not feel good if it was hit in the vital parts like this!

laugh!
A figure flashed over and stabbed the wound on the Iron-Swallowing Beast's face with a sword. Then he exerted his strength, and the Iron-Swallowing Beast's head exploded instantly. The headless body shook on the spot for a few times and fell to the ground with a bang.

Key drew out his sword, turned around and glanced at Sunan in surprise.

The other knights also could not hide their horror on their faces.

They had personally experienced how hard the iron-swallowing beast's body was, which was no less than real black stone iron.

But even with such a strong body, half of its head was corroded in just a few breaths!

What kind of terrifying power is this? !

What would happen if a flesh and blood body were hit by such a blow?

Just thinking about that scene made everyone present feel their scalps tingling!

Is this the wizard?
