Chapter 400: Danger in the Depths of the Mine

As riots erupted on the outskirts of the mine and the miners celebrated their freedom, Lucius was already walking alone in the mines, following the winding tunnels to the deepest part of the mines.

This is not a deep darkness, because the mine contains the magic crystal, and the light emitted by the magic crystal in the darkness just illuminates the deep mine tunnel.

Looking at the magic crystals in the rock walls on both sides of the mine, Lucius couldn't help but sigh: "I really can't imagine that there are so many magic crystals here, no wonder, no wonder the magic energy chaebol has such a strong strength, relying on these magic crystals alone, the magic energy chaebol can exchange a lot of wealth and resources from the Western Continent." ”

Magic crystal is a kind of crystal full of natural elements and magical energy, and an ordinary magic crystal stone looks like a stone that can emit light.

Even in the hands of magicians, magic crystals are just a thing that provides them with magical power, and it can be said that with enough magic crystals, magicians can achieve twice the result with half the effort in magic study.

Therefore, the magic crystal is very important to magicians in the Western Continent, and the magic temple occupies several magic crystal mines in the Western Continent all year round, providing magic crystals for the magicians of the temple.

However, if the magic crystal is in the hands of the alchemist, its value will become even more considerable, and the alchemist can rely on special alchemy to separate the natural elements in the magic crystal, and at the same time can extract the magic energy alone, and the remaining crystal can also be used as alchemy raw materials.

Therefore, for alchemists, the magic crystal is a treasure ore all over the body, and it can almost provide alchemists with a lot of things.

With the advent of the Founder of the Sanctuary and the implementation of mechanical civilization, the magic crystal has a new use, that is, to provide kinetic energy for machinery.

The Founder of the Sanctuary uses alchemy to extract the magic energy of the magic crystal, which can become the kinetic energy that drives the machinery and the natural element inside the magic crystal. It can also make the machine increase the resistance and resistance of the machine, and the magic crystal can be said to promote the development of mechanical civilization and magic civilization.

Due to the importance of magic crystals, although the production of magic crystals on the Western Continent is not low, the price of magic crystals is still very high, and most of the magic crystals are controlled by the Holy See and the Temple.

Thinking of this, Lucius secretly calculated in his heart that if he could own the Grass Sea Plain and with the support of the Grass Sea Plain magic crystal minerals, then his power in the Western Continent would be able to develop better, and he would be able to wait until he returned from the East. I'm afraid that Brenos's strength is also enough to compete with the Black Spear and Prism Diamonds.

Although Lucius is far away from the Western Continent, Lucius still understands the situation of Brenos through some special means.

Now the battle between Prism and Black Spear in the Western Continent is very fierce, and Brenos did not continue to expand outward after occupying many small countries in the west, and naturally did not attract the attention of Prism Diamond and Black Spear.

It can be said that under Merlin's governance, the development of Brenos is relatively stable, but the improvement of strength is relatively slow, mainly because of lack of resources.

Brenos also has minerals though. However, it is far from being comparable to the mastery of the edge diamond and the black spear, and the only minerals are not enough to support the continued expansion of Bleonos, so Brrenos's strength has begun to stagnate, and some internal contradictions have also been reflected.

The only thing to be thankful for is. Merlin and the group of people at Longquan Restaurant are very methodical, and they can control the internal contradictions as much as possible, and they do not let the internal contradictions become too intensified, which can be regarded as maintaining the current situation of Brenos. It's just that according to the current development, it is very likely that Brenos will be swallowed up by Prism and Black Spear in the future.

This was Merlin's previous contact with Lucius, who told Lucius about his concerns. Merlin hopes that Lucius will give Brenos some support.

Therefore, Lucius secretly contacted the Misty Forest, so that the Misty Forest provided some support to Bleonos, which improved the situation of Bleonos's gradual lack of resources.

Looking at the mine in front of him, thinking of the crisis facing Brenos, Lucius couldn't help muttering to himself: "If the magic crystal mine here, through the Guò Mist Forest, can be transported back to Brenos, Brenos's development will definitely be able to make a qualitative leap, and some internal troubles will be solved." ”

In fact, according to Merlin's interrogation, the so-called internal contradictions are nothing more than resource problems, and the increase in the number of kingdoms controlled by Brenos naturally cannot be as easy to govern as a single city as before, and there will be deviations in the distribution of resources, which has caused dissatisfaction among some people inside.

Fortunately, the aftermath of Lucius is still there, coupled with the deterrence of those people in Longquan Restaurant, some ambitious guys inside don't dare to do anything blatantly for the time being.

Thinking about Brenos's situation, Lucius continued to walk deeper into the mine, and after a bend, Lucius saw a wooden hut around the corner.

Frowning slightly, Lucius was not only a little curious about the hut, because he had already penetrated deep into the mine, and it stands to reason that there could be no one here except for the miners, and Lucius didn't understand why there was a hut in the mine?

After feeling it carefully for a moment, he did not perceive the danger, but Lucius became more vigilant, for he felt that the calmer he was, the more uneasy he felt in his heart.

Secretly urging the mechanical source core, causing the source core to unfold the metal armor to wrap itself around his body, and then holding the two guns at his waist, Lucius slowly began to approach the hut.

Walking to the wooden door of the hut, before he could open it, Lucius smelled a fishy smell in his face, and almost without any hesitation, Lucius quickly took a few steps back, and at the same time raised the gun in his hand and shot at the wooden door in front of him.

The sound of a "bang, bang......" echoed through the quiet tunnel, and then there was an even more piercing scream from behind the wooden door, "Ah......hhhhh

Lucius knew that he had encountered something, probably a monster lurking in the depths of the mine, and unconsciously began to sweat in the palm of his hand holding the firearm.

Although Lucius had metal armor on his body and a powerful firearm in his hand, he couldn't help but feel a wave of fear in the face of the unknown in front of him.

"Bang" After that scream, the mine was quiet for a long time, and suddenly the wooden door was smashed through the inside, and Lucius watched a black shadow rush out from behind the wooden door, and the next moment a bloody mouth covered his head, almost occupying the entire mine tunnel.

On the outskirts of the mine, the miners finally calmed down from their excitement, and Wren summoned some of the more prestigious miners to help him organize the miners and learn from them about the situation inside the mine.

An elderly elven miner said to Wren very respectfully: "Your Highness Wren, you probably don't know that in the depths of the mine, there are actually terrifying monsters hidden. ”

"What?" Wren was taken aback when he heard this.

Oliver, who was next to him, hurriedly asked, "There are monsters in the depths of the mine, what kind of monsters are they?"

Another miner saw Oliver's anxious look, so he quickly replied: "That's some magic crystal beasts, they are feeding on magic crystals, their bodies have been crystallized, they are infinitely powerful and very destructive, and those magic crystal beasts will hunt flesh and blood, and we will lose some lives every time we mine." ”

"Damn. Hearing the miners' answers, Oliver didn't say much, and immediately turned around and rushed into the mine, trying to save Lucius, who might be in danger.

At this time, No. 3 and No. 4 had also entered the mine, and when they saw Oliver, who was eager to enter the mine, No. 3 and No. 4 immediately sensed that something might have happened.

The two robots quickly stopped Oliver and asked him what was going on, and Oliver and Wren didn't hide it, telling them all about what they knew from the miners and what Lucius had gone into the depths of the mine alone.

After listening to Oliver and Wren's account, Three and Four rushed directly through the crowd and rushed into the mine tunnel deep in the mine, rushing towards the mine at a very fast speed.

Seeing that No. 3 and No. 4 had also rushed away, Oliver immediately wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Wren, who reassured Oliver and said: "Don't worry, the two adults No. 3 and No. 4 have already gone, and we are not in a hurry to go, let's understand some information first, and then it's not too late to go." ”

As he spoke, Wren turned around and asked the old elven miner, since there are magic crystal beasts in the depths of the mine, then you should have a way to deal with them every time you mine, right?"

The elderly elven miner didn't understand why Wren was so nervous, but it looked like some big man had gone into the depths of the mine alone.

He didn't hesitate either, and immediately said to Wren: "Your Highness Wren, those magic crystal beasts are afraid of light, so they generally hide in the deepest part of the mine, every time we enter the mine to mine, we generally try to avoid them, not to attract their attention, in case we alarm them, we use the light of the torch to drive them away, and then quickly retreat." ”

"Are you afraid of the light?" Wren muttered when he heard this, "If that's the case, then it should be fine, Your Highness should have something to light him up." ”

But then another miner chimed in: "But those Magic Crystal Beasts usually live in groups, if they provoke one of them, they will quickly attract a large number of Demon Crystal Beasts to besiege them, although they are afraid of the light, but if they are sent out in large numbers, even the light will not be able to force them back." ”

When Oliver heard this, he immediately didn't want to listen anymore and went downstairs, and said impatiently to Wren: "Okay, Wren, you integrate your people here, I want to go quickly, but I can't let His Highness have an accident." ”

After saying that, and without waiting for Wren to say more, Oliver turned around and rushed into the mine in a hurry. (To be continued......)
