Chapter 123 The Secret Underground
Zekis came to his senses, put aside all kinds of messy thoughts in his mind, and recalled: "Actually, we didn't find it, but it has always been in this big crack."

"Where?" Nesser asked curiously.

"It's in the water flow of the waterfall next to it." Zekes said: "Behind the rapids of the waterfall, the rock wall at this place was washed by the water flow, and there were mineral veins exposed.

At the beginning, it was difficult to be found because it was covered by the rushing water, until a famous snot demon ran to the waterfall to absorb water, and accidentally saw the exposed mineral vein. "

Zekis explained the process of discovering the vein in detail,

Louis, who had been watching Xie Mei's busy work, stepped forward and said, "Zekes is right. There is indeed a mine vein hidden in the waterfall. Thanks to my clan, it was discovered."

Nesser: "What is the vein?"

Hearing this question, Louis' eyes drifted to Zekes next to him. Only a demon like Xiemei, who has been dealing with equipment all year round, can answer this kind of question about mineral veins.

"It's a mixed mineral vein, which is rare."

Zekes tried hard to recall: "Because of the rushing water, only the monsters of the Snot Demon tribe can approach there. At first we couldn't tell what kind of mineral vein it was.

However, recently, under the suggestion of the leader of the Iron Bull, Hydelin, we successfully connected the ore vein by asking the Snot Demon to confirm the location of the ore vein, and then excavating from the large crack according to the general direction. "

The waterfall is right next to the big crack, and the rock walls in the two places are actually connected. As long as you find the right direction, you can dig a tunnel to connect to the vein.

Subsequently,

Zekes brought Nesser to the Great Falls,

Snotty Moloui jumped up against the rapidly falling water, and when his body touched the water, he sucked all the falling water into his body. A small hole was briefly exposed in the waterfall curtain, and the rock behind was exposed.

It is a large colorful mineral vein, directly inlaid on the rock wall behind the water flow,
"Master Nesser, these are the recently discovered mixed veins." Zekis introduced: "We dug a passage next door, please come with me, sir."

"Okay, Lord Louis, you can come down now."

Snotty Moloui jumped down from the waterfall when he heard about it. His wet jelly body became bloated due to absorbing a lot of water, like a swollen sponge. When he jumped to the ground, dozens of water jets flowed from his body. sprayed everywhere,

sizzle,
"Be careful, don't splash Lord Nesser!" Zekes said.

Nesser glanced at the monster who was somewhat similar to him with interest, and then followed Zekes to the nearby mine,
It is said to be a mine, but it is actually a small groove dug out of the rock wall next to the waterfall, not even a cave,

"When we first discovered the ore vein, we found the right location and excavated towards the location of the ore vein. Unexpectedly, this ore vein is too rich in resources. The rock wall was excavated less than half a meter, and we dug out the location of the ore vein."

Zekis pointed to the yellow-yellow-green ore in the small pit and said,
Nesser: "Have all the ores been mined from here before?"

"Yes," Zekes said suspiciously, "It's just that, Lord Nesser, this pile of ore veins discovered by my subordinates is very strange."

"What's weird?" Nesser asked.

Zekes didn't answer directly, but called Hydrin, the leader of the Iron Bull tribe, and said, "Trouble, Mr. Hydrin mined a few pieces of ore."

Hydelin mobilized his talents, turned his palms into iron blocks, and slammed on those exposed mineral veins,
The rock and soil attached to the surface of the mixed ore veins are very fragile, and Hydelin smashed the soil clods in twos and threes, but when his fist touched the ore, the ore veins were extremely hard, and the iron fists hit them. And sporadic sparks,

After punching hard, Hydelin was sweating profusely, and his black iron hand was glowing red. He finally knocked down a few pieces of gravel, but after his talent faded, his palm was covered with fine friction wounds.

"Huh, Lord Nesser, please look." Hydelin didn't know much about ores, but obeyed Zekes's order to knock down the ores and hand them over to Nesser.

"These mineral veins are surprisingly hard, but it is common for mixed mineral veins to be stronger than ordinary mineral veins," Zekis introduced, and then he pointed to a small emerald green spot in the small piece of ore, with a strange expression on his face.
"If I'm not mistaken, this green spot is a kind of skylark green-eye substance, which is a very rare ore."

"Is this something special?" Nesser asked.

"Skylark is a grade [-] mineral, and proper use can improve the sharpness of weapons," Zekes said, "but it's not uncommon for it to appear in the western region."

"Master Nesser, please look at the red spot next to the Skylark Ore."

Nesser looked down at the small ore in his hand, and saw that there were many kinds of ores mixed in the Tianque ore, and the more conspicuous one was another kind of blood-red ore, which was dotted with the Tianque ore.

"This thing is called purple blood agate, and it is also an extremely rare ore."

Zekes is worthy of being a forging expert, and he knows all kinds of minerals very well. He continued: "As a blacksmith, my subordinates have used it before, whether it is skylark ore or purple blood agate.
These two ores are precious materials, but under natural conditions, Tianque ore and purple blood agate will not be fused together. These two ores are completely contradictory, and even when forging, the two The ore is used in isolation. "

Nesser thought of something, "What do you mean?"

Zekes: "The subordinates believe that what appeared in the big crack was not formed naturally, it was more like being forcibly kneaded together by some strange force."

"Not only that, but in this mixed ore, many minerals that were originally impossible to combine were fused together. This subordinate believes that the problem may lie in this deep underground."

Zekes speculated that, in fact, there was something wrong with the underground, and Zekes was not very confident. He just judged it based on the experience of an old blacksmith.

As for Angus, Louis and other demons, they don't know anything about ores. Anyway, Xie Mei said that there is a problem with the mixed ore veins, so there is probably a problem.

Nesser thought for a while and said, "Have you explored deep underground?"

Zekes said with some shame: "Originally we planned to find a way to dig deeper, but because there are almost mixed mineral veins under the nearby rock formations, and the mineral veins are too hard, it is really difficult."

Speaking of which,
Zekis glanced at Hyderin's injured palm, and after only mining a few pieces of ore, the iron bull tribe's palm is about to be scrapped, let alone digging deep into the ground.

Haidlin: "Our Iron Bull tribe has been busy all day before, and we only knocked out sporadic ore. These veins are too hard, and there is really no way for our subordinates. It is already the limit of our Iron Bull tribe to smash such a pit. gone."

Zekes also said: "In addition to letting the people of the Iron Bull tribe mine, although we Xiemei can also dissolve the ore, it will dissolve the properties of all kinds of ores, so it is safe to report the matter to the adults. Make a decision."

"Ground?"

Nesser looked at these exposed ore veins, in terms of hardness, they were far inferior to Cohen ore,

But if, as Zekes said, some strange force deep underground caused the formation of the veins, then it is indeed necessary to investigate.

"Yeah." Nesser hummed softly.

"My lord, are you going to dive into the mine veins and dive into the ground?" Zekes volunteered, "With the cooperation of Xiemei and Tie Niu, we can still dig a considerable distance in a day. If you want to dive into the ground, how about Let's do it."

"No need." Nesser refused, and he didn't know how long it would take to dig through the veins until Xiemei came to dig. If you want to go deep underground, you might as well do it yourself.

"You guys will build me the equipment honestly, and I will handle the things deep underground myself." Neisser said,
Zekes and Hydelin on the side looked at each other, feeling sorry for the loss of the opportunity to perform, but since Lord Nesser said so, the subordinates naturally had to obey,
Just when they were planning to return to the village to start forging work,
"Wait a minute," Nesser called to Zekes and the other demons, "In addition to the wooden equipment mentioned earlier, the traditional ore equipment should also be sufficient."

"Yes, this subordinate will mine the raw materials immediately." Haidlin called out to the clansmen in the distance, and was about to start hitting the ore veins with his fists, but was stopped by Nesser.

"It's too slow for you to mine."

Saying that, Nesser's muddy palm covered the mixed mineral veins,
I saw Nesser's palm slightly exerting force,

Those mixed ore veins that were indestructible in the eyes of the iron bull were easily grasped by Nesser in the palm of his hand like fine sand, and a large ore with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters was removed.

Such an understatement of mining methods directly left Zekes and Hydelin dumbfounded.

"then."

Nesser threw the raw materials mixed with various quarries into the hands of Zekes, thinking that the mining speed is still not efficient enough.

So, it covered the surface of the ore vein with one hand, and the whole piece of raw ore was swallowed into the mud body, and spit out from the palm of the other hand, like a whale swallowing a conveyor belt,

Clack, clack.
One piece after another, the raw ore was mined and spewed out from the desert body. In a blink of an eye, the pits of the ore veins that were less than half a meter deep became deep,

Raw materials piled up as high as mountains in an instant at the feet of Zekes and Hydelin,
"Let's use so many raw materials to build equipment for the time being." Neisser ordered, "You move the raw materials back first."

Nesser finished speaking, looking behind him, the exposed mineral veins were devoured by it to create a big gap, like a dark mine hole,

"The reserves of mixed ore veins near here are amazing. After digging for so long, I haven't seen any extra rock formations. It seems that except for the soil on the surface, they are all compacted ore veins. The underground may be really tricky."

Nesser thought, ignoring Zekes and other monsters who hadn't recovered yet, just sneaked into the depths of the mine vein and disappeared before everyone's eyes.
