A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 928 Suffering a Big Loss
"Bah, you damned shadow people, sooner or later I'll drag you all out to the sun and dry you out."

Leon walked out of the mine elevator in a rather embarrassed state and retched. Recalling the spirit just now, he was filled with anger.

After leaving the Hawaiian party, he headed straight for the mine in the northern foothills.

At first he was wandering around the ice prison area on the 71st floor.

Because a large amount of iron ore is needed to make bombs, and the area from floors 71 to 79 has the highest and most concentrated output of iron ore.

But as the mining level reached level eight and the formula of the super bomb was unlocked, Leon's goal shifted.

The layers where gold ore is produced are naturally deeper after the 101th layer. In this area, the shadow man is the main monster that cannot be ignored.

If it were those silly shadow men in the game, Lyon's current Galaxy Watermelon Knife could basically kill them one by one without any surprises or troubles.

But the shadow people in reality are not fools. They have good IQ and thinking ability.

In the shadowman squad that Leon encountered before, after he killed most of the shadowmen, the remaining shadowmen simply ran away.

It was the same this time. A team of five shadow men, three shadow berserkers, and two shadow priests met Leon on the 104th floor. Leon killed a priest and a shadow berserker with a single blow of his sword. Then the other two shadow berserkers rushed up to fight Leon desperately.

The surviving shadow priest simply abandoned his two fellow tribesmen as cannon fodder and slipped away into the ground.

After killing the two shadow maniacs, Leon didn't care about the shadow priest who escaped and continued mining in the mine.

But when he reached the 106th floor, Leon encountered a monster floor where a large number of shadow men gathered. As soon as Leon went down the stairs, before he even landed on the ground, he was dyed green by a group of gray-green curse magic.

At that moment, the headache and weakness in the limbs were like being thrown into a washing machine and spun dry for ten minutes. If the Guardian Net Sprout Ring on his finger had not been triggered at this moment to dispel these negative states, Leon would have been torn to pieces by the following Shadow Maniacs.

What followed was a bloody battle. Even though he had the advantage of weapons and Lyon had sufficient physical strength and combat skills, he still suffered a loss when facing a group of intelligent shadow people who had the support of shadow priests and could cooperate in combat at long range and short range.

Although he suppressed his nausea and killed all the shadow people on this floor, not giving any of them a chance to escape, Lyon himself was not very optimistic now.

There were no external injuries, but I suffered severe mental trauma.

The sprouts of the Guardian Net can indeed dispel the curse of the Shadow Priest, but the physical discomfort caused by the curse cannot be cured. The magical impact mixed with malice and mental pollution has prevented Leon from fully recovering until now.

Not only did I feel like I had a hangover, but there was also a constant buzzing in my cochlea and I was staggering when I walked.

Fortunately, after Leon dealt with these damn shadow men, he immediately endured the discomfort and climbed the stairs to the 105th floor and took the elevator back to the surface. Otherwise, if he stayed in the mine in this state, who knows if he would have overturned and lost a life.

He didn't dare to ride the mine cart, and Leon was not sure whether he would fall out of the mine cart because of the dizziness, so he could only use the extended length of the Galaxy Watermelon Knife as support and walked out of the mine step by step.

"You look terrible." As soon as Leon came out of the mine, he felt someone holding him up.

"Old man, is there any medicine that can alleviate the sequelae of being attacked by a large number of curses?"

It was Linus who came. Seeing the old man's concerned look, Leon forced a smile and asked.

"This can't be relieved by medicine. You need to have a good rest." Linus whispered to Leon to comfort him.

"Let me take you back." "Wait a minute, I'll stay here for a while and then go back after I can stand firmly." Leon shook his head and rejected the suggestion. He didn't want to go back in this state and make Abigail or Sophia worry.

Anyway, he was not injured, just feeling unwell. Lyon felt that with his current physical condition, he should be able to recover soon.

"That's fine, but getting some sleep is what you need most right now." Linus didn't persuade him much. He just carried Leon on his back and walked briskly with Leon back to his camp on the cliff.

After putting Leon down on the soft grass, Linus lit a bonfire, then returned to the tent to get an iron kettle and placed it on the fire. Soon Leon could smell the aroma of coffee in the air.

"Drinking some coffee will make you feel better. It will be fine after a while."

Noticing Leon's gaze, Linus explained.

Meanwhile, while the coffee was still brewing, Linus frowned at Leon and asked, "It would take at least a dozen evil curses to have this kind of effect on you. Did you enter the Shadow Realm?"

"Ugh, I encountered a monster floor full of shadow people. The number was incredible, at least twenty or more, and half of them were shadow priests. Not to mention I was caught off guard and was ambushed first, losing the initiative."

Leon dry heaved again, then managed to gather his thoughts before explaining to Linus.

"More than twenty shadow men, that shouldn't be the case. Even in the monster layer, there can't be so many shadow men appearing at the same time. This doesn't go against the rules." Linus frowned even more tightly when he heard this.

"Maybe it's because of my birthday." Lyon thought of what Krobus had said. After all, this was the only possibility Lyon could think of.

After all, the large number of shadow people born from the dark elements during the time when the barrier was weakened brought a large wave of new forces to the shadow people clan, which could also explain the reason for the sharp increase in the number of shadow people in the mine.

"No, even if the number of Shadowmen doubles, there won't be so many Shadowmen in the mine at the same time."

Linus rejected this speculation without hesitation.

"As you know, the mine is a treasure house left by Ba for the lives of this world to learn and forge. Naturally, there are some restrictions against evil forces. Although the balance of this mine in Stardew Valley has been broken, but with my repairs over the years and the regular cleaning by Marlon and others, the final crack that cannot be filled should not be able to accommodate so many Shadow People passing through.

For example, have you ever encountered a team of more than five Shadowmen on a single floor?

"It seems not." Lyon recalled his trip to the mine and it seemed that he had never encountered a group of shadow people of this scale today.

"That's right. There's a problem in the mine. Don't go in in the next few days. I'll contact Malone to investigate the specific situation. All you have to do is have a good rest." Linus said to Leon with a serious face.

"Ah."

Looking at Linus's expression, Leon knew that something was wrong, but it didn't seem like this was an event he could participate in.

But Lyon would not worry about Linus and Malone, because a half-baked person like him could break out of the siege of so many shadow men, so there was no reason that these two battle-hardened veterans would encounter an accident.

However, he still mentioned one more thing: "It would be best to call Rasmodes. After all, he is the guardian who settled in Stardew Valley, and this matter should also fall within his scope of responsibility."

　It’s time for dinner again, brothers!

　　Thanks to the boss of Void Fantasy-ca for the reward of 100 reading coins. The boss is generous and I wish him good health.
