Global Mining.

Chapter 54 Picking up the leaks
Leaving the brightly lit streets, Dachun came to the entrance of the mine shaft again.

At this time, there was no more poisonous gas coming towards his face. It seems that the poisonous gas is mostly related to the ooze monster, which weakens the poisonous gas and disappears.

Then the radar was turned on, following the route it had been spotted during the day, all the way down.

Ailian suddenly warned: "Behind!"

A fuzzy little thing appeared on the radar!
Dachun was all hairy: "Monster?"

Ailian said in a deep voice: "It looks familiar, it seems to be the treasure-hunting captain's magic pet!"

Damn it, he really has been monitoring the island the whole time!
Dachun asked hurriedly: "Were you always on guard when I was away?"

"Yes, I can guarantee that it is not within 20 meters of the radar. It is difficult for him to see anything within this range when you are dancing and being watched. But I can't guarantee that the blacksmith will be able to hear anything if he speaks loudly."

It just so happens that the blacksmith reveals a lot of information!

Dachun was a little embarrassed: "What should I do?"

Elaine said: "Since our sailing skills can't improve anyway, why not take this opportunity to talk to him about sailing practice? Then ask him what his relationship is with the Great Evil Spirit?"

Okay, let’s go straight to the showdown.

Dachun turned around and shouted: "Is it Captain Villapicu?"

The blur was obviously startled, and immediately shrunk in size, appearing only as a small dot on the radar.

Damn, that’s awesome! Could it be that he thought I was deceiving him? Or want to make sure how I found him?

But it also shows that he is in awe of my abilities! This is good for talking about things.

Dachun picked up a clod of soil from the ground and threw it towards the radar dot: "Captain Villapicu!"

The little dot quietly moved a few steps back.

Dachun suddenly wanted to laugh. Could it be that he wanted to see my advanced throwing accuracy?
So another clod of soil was thrown over.

The other party finally stopped pretending and responded: "Awesome! How did you find me this time?"

what!
Dachun has always been led by him to ask questions before, but this time he will definitely not follow his rhythm: "The captain has been on the island?"

The captain hurriedly said: "No, the master left, and so did I. But suddenly I found a very bright light on the island. I was shocked and looked back."

I believe you!
The other party continued: "This also means that other passing ships will discover the strangeness of this Plague Island. It won't be long before you become famous all over the world."

Damn it! ? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Dachun asked again: "What is the master you are talking about?"

The captain solemnly said: "About Master, I definitely don't know as much as you! You will know it gradually. The fact that you can discover my magic pet twice with your current level of strength proves that you are far better than me. Master chooses You really have a point. But I also want to see how you destroy that ooze monster. Even if the ooze monster is weakened by its owner, there is nothing I can do to deal with it."

Dachun was stunned: "Actually, I'm not sure either. Can you not watch it?"

The captain smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't watch it."

It's too easy to talk to, but I don't feel reassured!
Dachun asked: "Then we are colleagues and friends now, right?"

The captain smiled and said: "What an honor! Do you need any help?"

Dachun said things directly: "After I finish the work here, I want to borrow your big boat to practice my sailing skills."

The captain smiled and said: "No problem, I will cooperate with the whole ship, and the captain can let you experience it."

Damn it! Do you really think of me as your young master's assistant?

Dachun asked in shock: "But I have the plague!"

The captain said solemnly: "The worst we can do is exile ourselves to this island."

Dachun asked again: "But have you seen the situation on the island?"

The captain smiled: "They should appear at night, right? We go out to sea at night to avoid them. Anyway, you go ahead and do your work. I will bring the ship closer to the shore. You can come over when you see the lights on the ship."

After saying that, the demon pet exited the tunnel.

Dachun also continued to move forward, but he was in a very anxious mood: "Ellen, do you think it's possible for him to trick me into boarding the ship and kill me to explode the holy weapon? After all, he tricked me into finding the Great Evil Spirit before to change my profession, and now he's following me I……"

Ailian was stunned: "Although this is possible! But now they are all the subordinates and colleagues of the Great Evil Spirit, so what?"

Isn’t it normal for colleagues to cheat on each other? Dachun sighed: "He may not be able to do it himself, but he can act. He can let a few younger brothers who are dissatisfied with my plague get on the ship, rebel and kill me, and then take my sacred ring and escape in a small boat. He can He put aside the relationship and apologized to me with various guarantees, but I have nothing to say, so why don’t I have to beg him to continue practicing sailing?”

Ailian was surprised: "I learned it!"

Dachun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I asked you to find a way!"

Ailian said in surprise: "If you are really worried, just let the blacksmith keep the sacred artifact."

Well, the solution is that simple! You have to find someone you can trust. But the difficulty is that this is a game. What if the NPC does not have this "custody" setting?

Dachun was still irritated. "But, they're going to exile themselves on the island. It's obvious they've set their sights on our magic gold and want to use this island as a base, right?" Ailian smiled and said, "You can find a way to make them your minions. If they can't become your minions, it doesn't matter. That's definitely easier than trying to win Fafner's heart, right?"

Dachun was stunned: "How could it be easier?"

Elian smiled and said: "Think about it, if they all become your loyal little brothers, you still have to worry about their health, for fear that they will die from the plague. How troublesome would it be? It's convenient if they are not little brothers. You can do whatever you want, life or death." It doesn’t matter, it saves you trouble!”

Damn it! This is very much like a dispatch worker in a company! There is no need to pay five insurances and one housing fund for them, and they are destined to die...

Elian smiled again and said: "Besides, he can use his magic pet to transform into the Queen of the Sea. That means that he has not only seen that Bichi, but he can also get very close. You can use his relationship to capture Take this opportunity!"

Forehead? Yes, it was a honey trap before, but now it can be considered!

Dachun is excited: "He is obviously a subordinate of the Great Evil Spirit, but he can get close to the Queen of the Sea, which means that the Great Evil Spirit sent him to infiltrate the pirates!"

Elaine said: "There are many factions within the pirates, which outsiders like us don't understand. It is said that there are some nobles who started out as pirates themselves."

Da Chun was stunned: "Who?"

"I don't know either. I can only hear a few words from the gentlemen below when they are chatting on the stage. Actually, I think the colors and styles of your Black Flag Order don't look so noble and elegant, and the Black Flag Island Master is not impressed either. The citizens support it, maybe the Black Flag Order was started by pirates?”

Damn it! Dachun was stunned: "The Black Flag Order obviously corresponds to Black Iron City, right?"

Elian snorted: "Who knows what the earliest ancestors of Black Iron City did?"

Well, actually, if it really alludes to real history, it seems to make sense. Besides, if there are no more pirates, how can the Navy collect protection fees? How to budget? Things that are inconvenient for the navy to do can be done by pirates. If the game follows this logic, then this Queen of the Sea is really a high-end route that must be mastered!

As he was talking, Dachun was getting closer and closer to the bottom floor and could hear the sound of dripping water ahead.

Dachun began to approach step by step with full concentration. Even on the radar, he could detect the mist in front, and it was obvious that he was getting closer and closer to the Boss.

Dachun took another step forward, and the sound of splashing water was heard on the ground.

At that moment, the radar flashed red, and Dachun's feet were suddenly caught in something like glue and dragged, and water poured down on his head like rain.

——System prompt: Warning! You have been ambushed by the "Plague Devourer"...

Dachun had no time to react and rolled into the depths of the mine as if he was washed away by a mountain torrent!
Holy shit! Why didn't the Scavenger's Purification skill sound an alarm? Or is the opponent now completely clean and free of any filth? How can the Scavenger be defeated then?
Ailian said anxiously: "Activate the Tuna Sea Soul first!"

start up!

Dachun was once again wrapped in a ball of bubbles, and only then did he manage to keep his balance.

A large pool of water was detected ahead of the radar, probably similar to a prison dungeon formed by the infiltration of seawater.

With a splash, Dachun rolled into the pool, turning into a sticky puddle of mud. The scavenger finally sounded the alarm: "Warning! Purification has detected a massive amount of foul, toxic gas. You can use purification!"
Ailian immediately reminded: "Down below, there is a particularly condensed mass at the deepest point! The detection range is 100 meters!"

Holy shit! Are you sure I can't dive 100 meters in the mud? Actually, I should have come in that steel diving suit, but I can't walk unless someone can carry me here. But that wouldn't show my ability, and it wouldn't make me look impressive...

Ailian said, "Use all four sea spirits!"

Right on my mind!

As the Four Seas Soul activated, Dachun felt like a fish soaring through the water! A loach darting through the mud! A long list of system notifications flashed across the screen:

——System prompt: Your muscle memory has recovered to the 1st level of intermediate swimming skills, and you have obtained additional achievements: Life +6, Spirit +1.

——System prompt: Your muscle memory has recovered to level 1 of advanced swimming skills...Spirit +1.

……

Dachun was excited. If he had known that Sihaihun was so awesome, he should have practiced swimming before returning to the island!

Come on then, my clone has mastered swimming skills in the magma of hell!
Perhaps they noticed Dachun’s approach, and the large group actually started to run away!

Damn, he can run away. It turns out that wearing a steel diving suit is useless!
Then we have to activate the Tuna Sea Soul to the maximum!
But looking at his rapidly decreasing stamina, Dachun became conflicted again. Even if he caught up with it, could he kill it in one second with a full-strength purification attack plus the bonus from his ring?
Caught up!
Dachun gathered all his strength to form a charged vortex. The slime monster would not sit still and wait for death. It instantly formed a pocket and swallowed him up. A powerful water pressure instantly pushed Dachun in!
Just at this moment, Dachun's eyes lit up - the system prompts: Your "treasure perception" skill has discovered a treasure.

What is this? As a magical pet, have I discovered a treasure?

Ellen was excited: "This must be its core! It will be exposed if it becomes weaker!"

Then hit it!

Dachun punched out, and a vortex of shining light burst out, and all the mud and sticky things in front of it turned into ashes...

——System prompt: Congratulations! You have hit the fatal weakness of "Plague Devourer" and successfully killed the super boss Plague Devourer. Your level has been raised to level 13.
