Chapter 179: Mining and Hunting

Early the next morning, Connie took her daughter Liz and a group of girls with Tina to pick wild fruits outside the city.

However, according to Tina's secret report when she slept at night, the mother and daughter were actually just playing along. They have no interest in wild fruits!

Jia Zhengjin sent Alvin, Dolma, Buddy, Wolf, and Carl out to hunt down the monsters.

With their five-person group, plus the strength of the four Demonic Beasts, as long as they don't deliberately provoke a fourth-order existence like a rock giant, even if they encounter a third-order Demonic Beast, they may have a chance to evacuate safely. And the first-order and second-order demonic beasts are the easiest objects for them to capture.

Of course, the order given to them is still safety, and there is no need to be injured or give up their lives in order to capture the monster. Of course, don't forget the necessary supplies of honey and stamina potions.

As for Jia Zhengjin himself, he was going to upgrade his tool-making skills to level 5 today, so he took five hundred kobold miners early in the morning, using the fine iron pickaxes made yesterday, and was protected by a fake dragon to mine a vein with a considerable concentration of iron ore outside the city.

As for the 500 in the mine, there are also villager miners who were later transferred over and continue to mine other ores.

There are fake dragons guarding it, and the fierce beasts in the forest dare not approach it at will. Under the command of Jia Zhengjin, the army of miners began to mine in full swing.

Mining is a boring job, and Jia Zhengjin has long experienced it. However, in order to upgrade the tool-crafting skills as soon as possible, so that the ore can be mined faster, used as the improvement of other skills, and the construction of city defenses, no matter how boring it is, you have to stick to it.

One morning passed, halfway through the process, he led the team home for lunch, and at the same time handed over a large number of subway mines to the kobold craftsmen in the factory, so that they could be smelted into iron ingots in advance. After that, he rushed back to the field mine area and continued his boring work.

At around 14 o'clock in the afternoon, Jia Zhengjin, who was burying his head in mining, suddenly heard the miserable screams of kobold miners not far away. It's like the howl of a domestic dog after being beaten.

He rushed over to take a look, only to find that a large pit had been dug near the vein. A kobold miner accidentally falls into it and is bitten by a fat bug.

The insect looks like a bread worm on Earth, but its head has an unusually terrifying mouth, and the innermost part is full of dense black teeth. The lower half of the kobold was bitten, and it was already drenched in blood in an instant, and it is estimated that it will not be saved!

What's even more terrifying is that more giant insects crawled out of the pit and began to frantically pounce on the kobold miners, and the scene instantly turned into a Shura field.

"What the hell?" Jia Zhengjin was startled, it was obvious that the fake dragon was here, and they turned a blind eye?

But then I realized that these insects don't have eyes at all, and probably rely on their sense of smell or touch to determine where their prey is. As a result, they can't see the imposter dragon at all, and they can't feel its horror.

Seeing more and more kobold miners being eaten, Jia Zhengjin hurriedly ordered: "Burn them!"

"Wusu~" The fake dragon immediately dispatched and launched a pillar of fire directly at the worm pit.

Jia Zhengjin also joined the fight, put on the tiger mask, and began to breathe fire at the worm pit.

The power of the counterfeit dragon and Jia Zhengjin's flame is also quite powerful together! Of course, the main reason is that the flame of the counterfeit dragon is a third-order magic.

【NEWS】The shapeshifter has killed the golden beetle's larvae, and you have gained 100 experience points!

【NEWS】The shapeshifter has killed the golden beetle's larvae, and you have gained 100 experience points!

【News】You killed the larvae of the golden beetle and gained 100 experience points!

......

Prompts kept popping up, and Jia Zhengjin's experience value increased a lot.

These larvae are very good at killing and are roasted alive directly in the pits. And they have a lot of experience, each one has 100 points. It's a pity that the number is a bit small, only more than fifty.

At the end of the battle, these bugs did not explode loot on their bodies, and could only collect some strange silks.

The kobold lost 120, but fortunately, the hiring price was cheap, and Jia Zhengjin was not heartbroken.

To be on the safe side, he immediately asked the kobold miners to dig around the veins to make sure there were no other potholes, and then he was relieved. Immediately returned to the city to recruit 120 kobolds to bring them back, and continue to mine iron ore.

Before the sun goes down, he finally has enough iron ore that will allow him to upgrade his tool-making skills to level 5, and immediately retreat with the whole army!

When he returned to the city, Alvin, who had returned home one step earlier, immediately came over to report: "Lord Kean, we have caught two second-order demonic beasts!"

"Really?" Jia Zhengjin was a little stunned when he heard the news. After all, he personally led the team before, and every time he barely caught one, the sun was about to go down immediately. How come they were able to catch two in one go when they didn't go?

Hurriedly went to the animal pen to take a look, and suddenly understood.

It turned out that there were two smaller Daklas in front of the pen, which looked like underage hatchlings. With such a second-order demonic beast, of course it was easy for them.

"This is what you have achieved today?" Jia Zhengjin was a little crying and laughing.

"I'm sorry, Master Keane!" Dolma looked guilty, "but I don't know what's going on today, and I can't see a single monster around." We've tried to expand our range, but we still haven't found our target! Even the rock giant we saw that day seemed to have left where it had left and disappeared. These two were found by chance in a deep pool on the way back when the sun was about to go down. They are too small to go too far from the waterhole. I suspect it's their mother what's in the pens!"

"No Warcraft?" Jia Zhengjin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered a possibility.

Could it be because of the presence of Connie and Liz? They are both epic creatures, so after living here, the city is safe, but the surrounding monsters are also terrified because of their existence, so they move away?

The five people who went out to hunt today were all depressed, and although they had caught two second-order demonic beasts, they didn't feel any achievements at all. This is obviously because their mother was caught earlier, and the two little ones have lost their protectors, so they have no ability to resist.

As for where their father went, it is unknown! Maybe they were killed by other monsters, or maybe they divorced their mother?

Jia Zhengjin didn't know what his subordinates were thinking, although they were only young creatures of Dakras, they were at least second-order demonic beasts. Anyway, domesticate it first!
