Man must always live for his own livelihood.

There will be no exceptions.

This is true even for mechanical humans who don't need to worry about their diet.

Relying on mundane work to make a living should be the choice of most people, after all, the magnificent life is generally just a thought, not easy to achieve, but this does not stop some people from dancing with danger.

Maybe it can be called being born unwilling to be ordinary, maybe it can be called greedy, or maybe it just chose such a way of life involuntarily, and eventually became a habit, in short, examples like this are not uncommon.

Mining ore is an occupation with exaggerated upper and lower limits of danger.

The ore itself is a resource that is in almost endless demand.

The society of mechanical humans is almost built on ore, and as the most important resource, it is generally recycled by the state.

In addition to iron, copper, coal, gold and silver, which can be found everywhere, there are also rare ores with subtle origins.

Some of them exist in anomalous forms under various dangerous natural conditions, and may not be solid themselves, almost impossible to mine without systematic steps and tools, and difficult for ordinary people to reach.

For others, it is possible for ordinary people to risk their lives as long as they are willing to risk their lives.

It had been several days since they had passed the traveler's mountain trail to the stalactite mountains, and they were still heading deeper.

The stalactite mountains have a very special topography, all the mountains are like inverted stalactites, and they are able to grow on their own, which is also similar to stalactites.

At the same time, a lot of ore will also grow together, and the quantity is theoretically endless, but their own growth rate is very slow, and in fact they cannot withstand large-scale mining, so in most cases only licensed professional gatherers can enter the mountain, which can also be called adventurers.

This is not just about conserving resources, but more importantly for another reason.

"There it is! Overhead! Ah, it has nothing to do with me! ”

"Cut, is there such a powerful guardian in this kind of place! Look at the moves! ”

"Focus on the fight, you two bastards! You don't think it's okay to stop doing it! ”

The three of them are all strong men who have experienced various battlefields and survived, and they can still talk noisily even though they are in a state of being sneak attacked.

"Hum—"

The beetle-shaped monster that fell from the sky was supposed to kill a person quickly, but was easily blocked by the great sword in his hand and had to fly back into the air again.

"Don't try to run!"

There were flirtatious shouts accompanied by arrows coming out of the strings, but the sound of metal objects bouncing off the strings sounded.

** The power is already very large, even if it is not as good as the ballista used by the army, at least it is already a murder weapon that can easily kill people.

This murder weapon has no effect.

The surface of the carapace glowed with a faint silver light on the surface of the huge beetle, and its whole body was covered with a hard metal structure, as if it was covered with a layer of heavy armor, far stronger than that of ordinary mechanical humans.

Since it is so heavy, it is probably not a "creature" that flies with wings.

Similar strange creatures abound in the deep mountains, they are very dangerous, which is the most important reason why ordinary people are not allowed to enter the deep mountains, although it seems that there are no people who want to try their luck, the outcome can be imagined, most of them will not come back alive.

Creatures called "guardians" are different from ordinary beasts, they are clearly hostile, and in most cases will not hesitate to attack when encountered.

"That's not enough! Hahaha we had luck today! ”

The adventurer who wields the tomahawk himself has a somewhat impatient personality, and his body appearance is also in line with his way of behaving in the world, painted with many flame-like patterns, and it looks like he should be a reckless and powerful man, but in fact.

The Tomahawk, which was even bigger than his own, had a worrying chance of hitting and just grazed past the metal beetle's body, but his next attack was imminent.

Even the two companions took the initiative to withdraw from the core of the warring vortex, otherwise there was a high chance that they would be affected.

It is a tacit understanding that has been cultivated over the years, these two people are not simply running away to fish, they are always changing positions, the purpose is to block the enemy's escape route.

Guardians themselves are more advanced prey than ores, which is obvious, their bodies are very good metals, and there are many materials that must be obtained by hunting guardians, although it is not known what guardians are or where they come from, but there is such a thing anyway.

It is more accepted that it grows with the growth of the mountains, and since it can grow ore, it is barely reasonable to grow "creatures".

"Look at the move! Ground Crack! ”

The name that the axe man shouted and the move he used were completely different things, and the attacks on the ground had no effect on flying enemies, even if it was a real crack.

Sometimes the name of the special move doesn't need to be too entangled in the practical meaning, and there are more or less examples of objects and pictures in the world that are completely different things.

His body is also the same as that of a mechanical human, that is, it is the larger and heavier kind, after all, the material is like this, but he can freely rotate his body while jumping into the air, so that the tomahawk and himself can combine into the form of a wheel to kill enemies.

It's not a great nirvana.,Overall, it's still a relatively flexible miracle tactic.,The axe blade is already heavy.,Plus a burst of force to spin around.,Maybe it's only practical in some games.,In reality, it's actually very easy to dodge.,The possibility of your own dizziness is also very high.。

Fortunately, the enemy's IQ is also not up to standard, and it is precisely because they found out that this guardian is in the form of an insect that they are confident and bold to fight against it.

If it's a different form, you should be cautious about hunting now.

The Guardian could have avoided it with its ability to fly, otherwise it didn't do so, probably because of its intelligence, and it was not able to judge the strength of its enemies and whether it was a real threat to itself.

A loud bang bloomed on its body.

Originally, it was a force that could kill with one hit, but unfortunately it only left a scar on its abdomen, also because the spinning attack could not be precisely controlled.

"Hahaha won!"

The axe man spun several more times before he barely stopped spinning, and the tomahawk almost came out of his hand.

His other two teammates were also accustomed to cooperating, and after dodging the axe man's spinning route, he hurried to chase the worm-shaped guardian who was blown away, which was a great asset, equivalent to a powerful piece of equipment, and it was absolutely impossible for those of them who relied on force for a living.

The Bug-Shaped Guardian is also a monster full of mysteries, and the ecological aspect itself is plausible to a real creature, and it is difficult to say where it is a fatal injury, at least not in the abdomen.

No matter how stupid a creature is, when its body is injured, it should be aware of the danger, and the Wormform Guardian is no exception in this regard, and immediately gives up the idea of fighting, and flies crookedly to escape.

"Chase!"

The three adventurers were full of fighting spirit, and they would definitely not give up the opportunity, so they temporarily left behind their guard.

Just unconsciously chased a considerable distance, the guardian is made of metal but the physical strength is not endless, without rest or use the recovery device will still run out of oil, this point, mechanical humans are also not similar.

"Got it!"

The one who used the bow and crossbow as a weapon in the trio did not carry too much equipment, and he did not have any redundant elements on his body, so the speed was naturally the fastest, and he shot the arrow but not to kill, in fact, there was no way to kill, and the more important purpose was to capture.

The arrows that flew out disintegrated on the way, turning into a sturdy metal mesh, which was expensive and the materials used were not readily available, and they were willing to pay a high enough price to capture the Guardians.

"Roar—"

The sound of anger covered the entire battlefield in an instant, and only the archers who were chasing after them knew what was happening.

The axe man and the two with the big sword are both heavy loaded, and they can't catch up for a while, so no matter how panicked they are, they can't do anything but run as fast as possible.

They were about a minute late.

On the ground, the body of the worm-shaped guardian has been torn in half by the powerful force, and it is clear that some powerful monster has appeared.

However, there was no such monster in sight, only the companion who used the bow and arrow sat on the ground as if he had lost his soul, and the light in his eyes became very dim.

There was also a simple and inconspicuous person present.

"Be careful, it seems that it has been the time for dragons to start active recently, and many guardians who shouldn't have appeared here have been driven over, so let's go back if there is nothing serious."

Listening to the voice is just an old man, but there is really no way to make more impressions than that.

The old man smiled at the two of them with a cane about the thickness of a finger, and walked away.

"Hey! Brothers! ”

"Wait a minute! That one...... That's it! ”

The adventurer with a great sword looked at a huge rock in almost horror.

There was a corpse lying behind the rock, also a guardian, who was probably ambushed by it just now.

The head in the shape of a large lizard, and the body that can stand upright, is as tall as three or four people, and the wings behind it are also very eye-catching, and the guardian suffered a fatal wound in the neck, and the whole head is discounted, which is by no means easy for ordinary strong people to do.

"Is that ...... Dragon ......"

Axe Man was amazed that there were such terrifying guardians, he had been an adventurer for more than ten years, and he had only heard of monsters of this level, but it had something to do with his seemingly reckless but actually very careful approach.

"Hehehe, such a weak guy, how can it be a dragon, think too much......"

The old man's laughter seemed to be right in his ears.

"Wait! Elderly! We haven't said thank you yet...... Belch? ”

The adventurer with a bow and arrow, who had just woken up, stood up suddenly.

The direction the old man had left just now was empty, and everything seemed to be just a dream.

The three men looked at each other and began to mess up.

After a certain period of time.

On the traveler's mountain road, an elderly mechanical human wearing a hat is on a cane, gradually approaching the populated area.

"Hey...... This old bone finally has a day to come back, forget it, I can't watch this idiot apprentice die in vain, in fact, I also want to see what the legendary hero is all about, I didn't expect the old man to be so old and still can't break his competitive heart, what has he practiced in the past few decades? ”

The old man babbled to himself and continued on his way.
