Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 50: Sensing the Copper Mine
Although Chang Xin was confused, she decided to believe Liu Hen.

Because after the darkness approached within a hundred meters, it stopped moving forward.

The Wu siblings and Zong Ni in the back, although unable to see the terrifying darkness, suddenly felt very depressed.

The six people were silent, their breathing subconsciously slowed down, and their faces were full of tension.

Suddenly, the darkness ahead began to surge, and the atmosphere became even more oppressive.

Liu Hen vaguely sensed Xiao Heishi's nervousness, and his body suddenly tensed up slightly, ready to take out the bonfire and light it at any time.

Even though they had repelled a demon before, it was still a demon, and the pressure from the demon in front of them was much greater than that from the red sedan before.

Although he could not hear any conversation, Liu Hen could feel that the black fog in front of him was very angry.

Finally, half a minute later, the black fog receded like the tide and disappeared.

"Sir..." Little Black Stone said nervously.

"What did you say?" Liu Hen asked quickly.

'No, I didn't say anything, it was talking.'

The little black stone replied, "The demon wanted me to follow it, but I didn't dare to speak for fear of being exposed. It thought I was ignoring it and became very angry. It said it was going to swallow up some Yin Stone and then come and swallow me."

"..."

Liu Hen was speechless and didn't dare to stay there any longer. He led his men to speed up their journey.

"Sir, am I causing you any trouble?" Little Black Stone asked anxiously.

"That's not true. If you hadn't discovered the monsters in advance, we would have run into several monsters along the way."

Liu Hen thought to himself, "Did that demon tell me what the Yin Stone is?"

He had some suspicions that those outsiders, even those demons, came for the so-called Yin Stone.

In the past, this desolate land did not have so many dangers, and even the inhabitants were very few.

As a result, outsiders are appearing one after another, and even demons are coming from afar.

There can't be any rumors without any basis. There must be something extremely precious attracting those guys.

Now he vaguely felt that the thing that attracted those guys was most likely the so-called "Yin Stone".

"No," Little Black Stone replied. She hadn't dared to speak before, fearing that it would reveal her weakness.

"What just happened?"

At this time, Chang Xin asked in a low voice: "Why do I feel that the demon is very angry?"

"do not know."

Liu Hen did not tell others that the little black stone could communicate with demons.

Because when they encountered the red sedan before, the bonfire's evil-repelling properties were fighting against the power of demons, and the fuel consumption was accelerated.

So from then on, whenever he came across a tree, he would take out his pickaxe and collect it.

Because Chang Xin and the other two can now be considered his own people, he did not avoid them. It was impossible for him to give up resources for fear of exposing his ability.

Chang Xin and the other two were stunned when they saw that Liu Hen had collected all the harvest from an entire tree, leaving not even the roots.

Even Chang Xin, a person with special abilities, is no exception. She increasingly feels that Liu Hen is her best and most capable general. If she has such a right-hand man to assist her, why would she worry about not accomplishing great things?
Unfortunately, Liu Hen was too lazy to pay attention to her. Even if he wanted to establish his own power, he would be the boss himself and would not help others.

In order to speed up the journey, Chang Xin personally dealt with all the monsters encountered along the way.

However, perhaps it was because the demons were passing through, and the number of monsters they encountered next was greatly reduced.

Just as the night was about to fall, and just as Liu Hen was hesitating whether to continue on his journey or find a place to rest, Xiao Heishi's voice sounded in his mind again.

"Sir, I seem to be able to sense the stone now," said the little black stone.

'Sensing the stone?'

Liu Hen was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"That means..."

Little Black Stone considered his words carefully: "I can sense different stones within a hundred meters. I can also sense the kind of stone that the adults needed before. There is one underground, but it is very rare."

Suddenly, Liu Hen's spirits brightened: "Is it the stone I need? The copper ore?"

"The one you robbed earlier must be a copper mine."

Little Black Stone was also unsure: "It's just underground at the raised area ahead, about twenty meters deep."

She said with some surprise: "After the fusion process between me and the Wish Stone deepens, the sensing distance should be able to go further. Now it can only sense within a hundred meters. It's a pity that it can only sense the stone."

"That's pretty good, Black Stone, you're awesome."

With the sensing ability of the little black stone, mining by yourself is like cheating.

Liu Hen praised Xiao Heishi in his mind, then asked everyone to stop: "Let's rest here and spend the night before we talk." "Right here?"

Chang Xin and the other two were stunned. This was the border between the rocky mountain and the muddy mountain. There were no caves, no depressions, and no boulders protruding from the ground. There was not even a place to shelter from the wind.

"Just wait."

Liu Hen walked directly to the place Xiao Heishi said, took out the bonfire and placed it there, then started the home building mode and placed large pieces of iron ore as the foundation.

Then, under the stunned gaze of Chang Xin and the other two, huge rocks appeared out of thin air.

Those huge stones that appeared out of thin air were closely connected and fit together perfectly, and a huge foundation was built in the blink of an eye.

In fact, it was the first time that the Wu brothers and sisters saw Liu Hen building. The speed of construction completely overturned their three views.

And because the bonfire is now a constant temperature bonfire and is at the second level, the area of ​​the home foundation has doubled exponentially.

That is to say - it increased from the previous nine square meters to eighty-one square meters.

The original foundation was only three meters long, but it suddenly expanded to nine meters in length.

After all, they are all his own people, so this time Liu Hen did not just build a place for himself to live.

It doesn’t matter to other people, but Chang Xin, the psychic, still needs to be taken care of a little, to let the other party know how powerful he is, and then we will see who is the boss.

It only took a little over a minute for the complete foundation to be built.

He decided that when he left, if there was still time, he would dig up these large iron mines again, because he was not sure whether there were any more iron ore veins ahead.

Anyway, as long as we dig up the copper ore that Xiao Heishi mentioned, the Pickaxe of All Things can be upgraded again, and the number of grids in the space backpack can be increased again.

The bronze-level All-Kings Pickaxe has been upgraded again, and the number of slots in the space backpack should not increase by just one.

When the foundation was complete, he moved on to building the walls.

It was still a simple and crude process. A large piece of iron ore was transformed into a thick wall with a thickness of 20 centimeters, a height of 3 meters and a width of 1 meter.

In the blink of an eye, two separate rooms were built.

However, except for his own room and the one built for Chang Xin, he did not put any doors in case the other party would not be able to open the door, and he was too lazy to set a password.

He continued to use the ceiling (the second floor) as a substitute for the roof, being too lazy to build a roof specifically, as it was just a temporary resting place anyway.

"This one is yours."

Liu Hen said to Chang Xin, who was still in a daze, "It's completely enough for the three of you to live together. Since only I can open the door, I didn't install a door frame. You can come and go freely."

After saying that, he took out a bowl of steaming tree cake paste and handed it to the Wu brothers and sisters: "You take turns to keep watch, stand guard carefully, and sound the alarm if there is any sign of trouble."

"Yes, my lord."

Wu Yuanming took the tree cake paste and answered respectfully.

Liu Hen looked at Chang Xin and the other two again: "Do you want your own horse meat, or do you want to eat my tree cake paste as well?"

"Eat whatever is cheap. Now is not the time to waste." Chang Xin said without hesitation.

Anyway, that kind of tree cake paste is very delicious. She is not picky about food and has no right to be picky about food.

"That's fine."

Liu Hen took out another bowl of tree cake paste and handed it to Chang Xin, asking Chang Xin and the other two to share the bowl.

He took out a bowl for himself, drank two and a half kilograms, and gave the rest to Zong Ni.

"Thank you." Zong Ni was a little flattered.

"I'm going to be busy, don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

Liu Hen went straight back to his house, closed the door, lit a bonfire, and started digging.

Outside, Chang Xin was speechless. She felt that Liu Hen treated her as his subordinate and gave her orders so naturally.

But she didn't care about such details, because at least now she needed to rely on Liu Hen.

"Hey, it's so warm..."

Suddenly, the three women were stunned and felt the temperature around them rising rapidly.

"Is this also his ability? Can he change the temperature around his buildings?"

Chang Xin was shocked.

Because this place is still within the range of the bonfire and in a constant temperature range, now as the bonfire is lit, the temperature nearby is gradually becoming constant.

On the other side, Liu Hen dug through the foundation of his room, and then dug all the way down, following the guidance of the small black stone, and continued digging towards the location of the copper mine underground.

After many days, the Pickaxe of All Things can finally be upgraded again.

Once the Pickaxe of All Things is upgraded again, the bonfire's repelling range will also be upgraded again. Then they will be safer if they encounter monsters again.
