Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 77 The Demon in the Dark

"Is it finally here?"

Inside the house, Liu Hen cheered up: "These guys really kept me waiting!"

He quickly put down what he was doing and left the building. He said to the Wu brothers and sisters who were waiting outside, "Come with me and greet our friends."

"Yes, my lord."

The Wu siblings hurriedly followed Liu Hen.

The five of them strode out of the inner camp and headed towards the already quite lively area outside.

"Prince Liu!"

Liu Hen had just walked out of the gate when suddenly two modified people guarding the gate saluted respectfully.

These two people were obviously just assigned here, because there was no gatekeeper before.

Obviously the population has increased, and Chang Xin took the initiative to arrange a gatekeeper for him. Perhaps there is more than one gate, there should be gates on the other three sides.

Now everyone knows that there is also a person with special abilities living in the inner camp.

Although Chang Xin did not explain the status of this psychic in their power, as long as he is a psychic, he is someone they cannot offend.

"…What the hell is exile?"

Liu Hen was speechless and really disliked this title.

"The leader told us to call it that." A cyborg explained quickly.

Liu Hen didn't bother with them, but he had to tell Chang Xin that she should either stop shouting or shout in a nicer way.

After just a few days, the outer camp was fundamentally different from the previous empty space.

In addition to the two hundred rooms he built, there were also some simple houses built with stone slabs.

In addition, there are some tables and chairs carved out of huge stones. They are the masterpieces of Hu Jinshi. That guy did not join Chang Xin's forces and chose to do business.

However, Liu Hen had been there before, and what they were selling was actually a special item made of chopped poisonous flowers mixed with hollowed-out wooden sticks.

That kind of stuff, if you light it up and take a deep puff, will make you feel good for most of the day and may even cause hallucinations.

He had tried it out of curiosity before, and the result was hard to describe. That thing was completely different from cigarettes, and it also had a hallucinogenic effect.

But since he won't get addicted, he doesn't bother to care.

At the same time, the gate of the camp on this side was wide open, and a number of spider cars with eight mechanical legs stopped at the gate.

Immediately afterwards, figures wearing exoskeletons walked into the camp.

Tong Kun, who was walking in front, was stunned by the changes in the camp.

"This...this...is this really the place we came to before?"

He stared at the camp in front of him in astonishment. "It's only been about ten days, right? This change is huge, isn't it?"

Not only has the area been greatly expanded, the barriers have been taller, the buildings seem simple and rough but are very solid, but there are also those people.

Some of those who had previously fought with the Hongluo Camp had somehow stayed here and formed the patrol team here.

The last time they came here, it was no exaggeration to say that this place was deserted.

How long has it been since then?

This place can now be considered a small or medium-sized camp, but they saw at least two hundred people.

Is this the horror of people with super powers?
Could it be that the person with superpowers is even more powerful than Lord Bronze Dragon?

Tong Kun thought of one thing for the first time——

Lord Bronze Dragon has led the Bronze Dragon Camp for hundreds of years, but has not brought about much change in the camp. Apart from a huge increase in population, he has made almost no achievements.

"Is this the campfire site?"

"So comfortable..."

“It’s so warm here!”

"How can there be such a magical place?"

The others behind him also looked surprised.

Some of them were from the previous group, while others were going out for the first time.

Their shock never ceased since they entered the shelter of the campfire.

Because the temperature here is higher than inside their camp and much warmer than inside their camp.

At this time, Chang Xin came to Liu Hen and whispered, "There's something following these people. Perhaps it's the so-called Lord Bronze Dragon. Do you want to join forces to stop him?"

Liu Hen raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice: "Do you sense any malicious intent?"

"No, it's hidden very well." Chang Xin replied.

Liu Hen frowned: "Do you know its location?"

"It had already left when I went there, and I don't know where it is."

Chang Xin replied: "But if you spend some time, you should be able to find it."

Liu Hen suddenly asked, "Can you tell me about your current strength?"

Chang Xin pondered for a moment, then said, "If I were to rely solely on myself, I would be able to stop the demon that summoned the skeletons if someone could help block those endless skeletons."

Although this matter was a secret, she couldn't help but want to show it in front of Liu Hen, hoping that Liu Hen would look at her with admiration.

However, Liu Hen only nodded slightly, without any other expression. At this time, Tong Kun and others had already come closer.

"Captain Tong, thank you for your hard work along the way."

Liu Hen suddenly smiled and greeted the caravan from the Bronze Dragon Camp.

"Greetings, Master Liu Hen. All the copper ore that has been mined has been used up, and we have been working overtime to open the mine, so it has been delayed for a few days."

Tong Kun lowered the mask of his exoskeleton and explained why he came down so late. He then subconsciously praised him, "I didn't expect that in such a short time, Master Liu Hen has developed the campfire camp into such a state..."

"This isn't my achievement, it's the work of Chief Chang Xin. I'm just a functional psychic, I don't have that much ability."

Liu Hen took the opportunity to introduce Chang Xin to Tong Kun: "She is also a superpower. She is in charge of most of the affairs of the Campfire Camp now. If Captain Tong Kun has other business, perhaps he can do it with her."

"He's also a mutant?!"

Tong Kun was shocked and quickly saluted Chang Xin.

He was shocked. There were actually two people with superpowers in such a small campfire camp. If this matter were to be spread out, no one would believe it, right?

This made him more suspicious that the appearance of these two psychics here might have some ulterior motives, and Lord Tonglong's suspicion should be correct.

Chang Xin originally didn't want to pay much attention to this guy, because her target was all the camps and these people were destined to be enemies, but for Liu Hen's face, she nodded slightly.

Seeing that Chang Xin didn't seem to want this connection, Liu Hen didn't say much and led Tong Kun to sit on a stone bench carved out of a huge rock.

The four Wu brothers and sisters immediately stood on both sides of him in pairs like guards.

"How much copper ore did Captain Tong bring this time?" This is what Liu Hen cares about most.

"A thousand tons."

Tong Kun didn't dare sit down in front of the two psychics. He stood aside and replied stiffly, "But this is the maximum amount our camp can provide. Since Lord Bronze Dragon feeds on copper ore, we can't sell too much to others."

"Is this so..."

Liu Hen didn't feel much regret, because one thousand tons was enough for him to use for a long time.

"Zong Ni, bring some nutritious porridge over to entertain our guests." He said to Zong Ni who was not far away.

"No, no, we'll just unload the car and leave. No need to bother."

Tong Kun quickly refused. The pressure here was too great, especially since Lord Chang Xin was staring at him expressionlessly, which made him feel uneasy.

"Are you in such a hurry? I'd like to invite Captain Tong to taste the nutritious porridge I developed."

Liu Hen and Chang Xin exchanged glances, and said with some regret, "I only have 11,000 pieces of thermal clothing here. After deducting the last order for ten tons of flint, I'm afraid it won't be enough to pay for a thousand tons of copper ore."

Tong Kun frowned slightly, then said, "That can be saved for the next transaction. I trust the credibility of Lord Liu Hen. Just hand over what you have already prepared to us."

"Then it's Captain Tong Kun."

Liu Hen smiled again and asked, "Captain Tong, is there a silver mine in your camp?"

"Silver mine? No."

Tong Kun shook his head: "Our camp only has copper mines, but we do have a few silver products in the camp. If you need them, Master Liu Hen, I will bring them to you next time I come."

"No, I just want the silver mine."

Liu Hen asked again: "Captain Tong, do you know where there is a silver mine?"

"I don't know. I grew up in the camp, and our camp has been out of touch with the outside world for a long time."

Tong Kun replied, "But after I get back, I can help you find out."

"Then I'll trouble you, Captain Tong."

Liu Hen was truly regretful this time: "Captain Tong, please wait a moment. I'll go get the warm clothes."

Having said that, he stood up and walked towards the inner camp.

"grown ups……"

After Liu Hen walked away, a transformed man suddenly came to Chang Xin, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"Speak." Chang Xin said.

"Yes."

The cyborg quickly replied, "I know where there is a silver mine."

Chang Xin's heart moved, and she said happily: "Tell me what you know. If the information is true, you will be my third general."

Suddenly, the cyborg was ecstatic. The general who was directly blessed by the psychic was far superior to the cyborg in terms of potential and status.

……

Liu Hen returned to his home building, transferred the 11,000 pieces of warm clothing he had made into his space backpack, and turned around to go out again.

When he arrived outside the camp, Tong Kun had already had the truck unloaded. Thousands of tons of copper ore were piled up outside the camp into a small hill, which looked to be at least one or two hundred cubic meters in volume.

Judging from the surface quantity, even if the total amount is less than one thousand tons, it should not be too different.

Considering that barter is the norm in this world, Liu Hen didn't bother and took out 11,000 kilograms of warm clothes and asked Tong Kun to count them.

However, to his surprise, Tong Kun seemed to have received some instructions all of a sudden. Without even taking inventory, he directly asked people to move the thermal clothes onto the spider car, and then hurriedly said goodbye and left.

"The bronze dragon is here, right under our ground."

Chang Xin looked at the fleet of spider cars going away and said in a deep voice, "I sense its malicious intent. It seems its target is the two of us."

Liu Hen's heart sank, and he quickly took out his pickaxe and started collecting copper ore. He whispered, "I need to find a way to delay time. I need to upgrade my equipment."
