A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 244 I'm Not Kidding

While moving forward slowly, Leon did not forget to look at the rocks around him. After all, he came here to mine.

So every time Lyon encountered copper-containing rocks, he had to take out his pickaxe and knock them away. At this time, Abigail would automatically stop and wait for Lyon to finish his mining work.

By the time Leon had knocked out the stairwell leading to the next level, Abigail still hadn't seen the second monster appear. She was immediately dissatisfied: "Why are there so few monsters in the mine?"

"If the density of monsters in the mine is high, how can we mine?" Lyon complained.

Having said that, Leon actually knew the reason why monsters were so rare was because of luck.

This is also the reason why Leon has to come to the mine when he is lucky. Not only is it easier to harvest gems, find a large amount of copper ores, and easily find staircases and pits, but it can also avoid encountering a large number of monsters.

After all, Lyon had a deep memory of his first experience in the mine. He came here to mine, not to fight, so anything that affected his mineral income was a hassle for him now.

Abigail stuck out her tongue in frustration. She was so excited that she forgot that Leon's main purpose in coming to the mine was to mine.

Going down the stairs, the 32nd floor underground was still very dark. Fortunately, there were torches for lighting, so I didn’t bump into any rocks directly.

It was still Lyon who came down first, and the torch was in Lyon's hand, so before waiting for Abigail to come down, Lyon looked around the area that the torch light could illuminate.

At the edge of a rock, there is a discordant protrusion on the ground rock layer, and the color is also different from the rock layer next to it.

Leon raised his eyebrows, and then after Abigail came down, he said to Abigail: “You go ahead.”

"Oh." Abigail nodded, and then walked into the mine. Under Leon's intentional or unintentional guidance, Abigail approached step by step the raised part of the ground that was obviously problematic.

As the distance between the two was getting closer, Lyon looked at Abigail's carefree appearance and sighed. Just when Abigail's right foot was about to step within half a meter of the bulge, Lyon finally couldn't help but coughed lightly to remind her.

"Watch your step."

"what?"

Abigail was stunned when she heard this, but then she reacted immediately. She took several steps back and drew the long sword hanging at her waist.

It was only with Leon's reminder that she noticed the problem with the area she had just walked through. The bulge that was completely out of place with the surrounding area could be spotted with just a little attention.

But Abigail's attention was all on her head. After all, she and Leon had encountered a big bat before, so she subconsciously thought that the danger would only come from above her head and ignored the threat underground.

Thinking of this, Abigail looked a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Leon's expression.

"The monster you want to find is right in front of you. Don't you want to test its strength?" Seeing that Abigail had no movement after moving away for a distance, Leon couldn't help but urge.

"Oh." Abigail came back to her senses and stepped forward steadily with her sword in hand. Then, when the tip of the sword could touch the bulge, she poked it with the sword.

Seeing this, Leon couldn't help but sigh. If it were him, he would have attacked with all his might, regardless of whether it was an ambush or a unique rock formation. He would have just slashed it with a powerful blow. If it was a monster, he would have killed it once and for all. If it was a unique rock formation, it wouldn't have mattered either. Leon wouldn't have suffered any loss. However, Abigail's thrust was weak, more like a test, so it didn't even leave a wound on the protrusion.

At the same time, due to the stimulation of the sword tip, this protruding rock formation began to grow, and a monster with the same body size as a human began to condense. Its body was made of gray-brown rock structure, and its facial features were a little blurred, with only its eyes flashing with a strange green light.

Leon recognized this thing. It was the stone demon, a special monster found on floors 31-39.

"Ah." This sudden change made Abigail subconsciously take two steps back, and the stone demon that had already condensed into shape slowly moved its legs and chased after Abigail, with its arms raised horizontally in front of it. Its movement template was very similar to that of a zombie.

"Cut it." Seeing Abigail being forced to retreat again and again by the stone demon, Leon pushed Abigail from behind and shouted when she had retreated in front of him.

"Oh oh oh."

Abigail was pushed forward passively, and responded to Leon's words in a daze, but her hands did not move at all.

Seeing this, Leon couldn't help it. He stepped forward and grabbed Abigail's right hand holding the sword, and controlled Abigail to stab the stone demon with the first sword.

"Ding"

There was a crisp collision sound, and the tip of the sword seemed to pierce the stone. The resistance was great, but the sharp tip of the sword still penetrated the stone demon's chest, but it only penetrated an inch.

Pulling Abigail's arm to pull out the tip of the sword, Leon raised Abigail's arm again and stabbed the tip of the sword into the stone demon's glittering eyes. This time, it went straight through without any hindrance and directly killed the stone demon's life.

Watching the stone demon slowly weathering and blending into the earth, Leon glanced at the bewildered Abigail and complained, "He's slow in movement and a bit too strong. He's just a tortoise. You only need to keep your distance and you can kill him. Why don't you dare to take action?"

"I like small animals and don't want to hurt turtles." Abigail's answer made Leon roll his eyes.

"But does it look like a turtle to you?"

"Not really." Abigail shook her head, then lowered it silently. "Sorry, I was a little scared. I didn't know what I was doing just now. My mind was a little confused."

Leon didn't say anything, but just reached out and placed his hand on Abigail's head, gently ruffling her purple hair.

He could understand Abigail's situation. After all, she was a girl and an ordinary person. This was the normal reaction of a normal person when encountering a monster for the first time.

But if Abigail still can't overcome her instinctive fear of unknown creatures and dares not take action, then when Abigail tells Leon that she wants to take an adventure, Leon will use the most vicious language to let her understand what the truth is like a sharp knife.

Abigail was a little nervous and a little happy at the moment. She originally thought that Leon would make fun of her for her weakness, but Leon didn't. Instead, he comforted her by patting her on the head. Although it felt weird, Abigail quite enjoyed this comforting behavior.

"This guy is quite gentle." Abigail thought to herself, but Leon's words dispelled her previous evaluation of Leon.

"Next time we encounter a monster like this, if you're still so timid, I'll knock you out myself and put you in front of the monster's mouth for it to eat as a snack. I'm not kidding."
