Just when Liu Xing was about to say something, a system prompt appeared in his mind again.
"Congratulations to the player for triggering the alliance mission - guarding the mines in Baitie Town!"
"Guarding the mines in Baitie Town: The alliance can send people to guard the mixed mines in Baitie Town. You can get certain achievement points every day, and you will get substantial rewards every time you reach a time node."
"Note: If any player escapes during this mission, the entire alliance may be punished."
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that he would trigger the alliance mission at this time, but the content of this alliance mission was also within Liu Xing's expectation.
Before leaving Tianshui Town, Liu Xing, Yin En and others also discussed the possible alliance tasks that may arise next, and then reached a consensus that the NPC may ask the alliance to send people to an important location to perform defensive tasks.
Of course, this location should not be a certain city, but a resource point such as a mine, because although these resource points are also very important, they will be gone if they are gone. However, this city must not be lost, and it is also the best
Don't let several teams defend the city together, otherwise it will cause chaos.
Of course, this will also worry that someone will defect and directly open the city gate for the enemy. Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to use trustworthy people to defend the city, and it is necessary not to abuse when there is a shortage.
So Liu Xing refused the alliance mission without even thinking about it. Firstly, the mine in Baitie Town was too far away from Tianshui Town. Secondly, Yu Leidu had already said that this mine was six miles away.
The prince's sphere of influence is a bit too close, and he has been cooperating with a city under the sixth prince's command before. Therefore, it is very likely that the sixth prince will send people to take over this mine as soon as the sixth prince takes action.
Down!
After all, resources like mines are still very important in today's situation, because the smelting technology at this time is high, but it is also very time-consuming and labor-intensive to make a good weapon, so only those martial arts masters
They are not willing to spend money to buy them, so the quality of standard weapons is relatively average, and their consumption on the battlefield is not small.
Therefore, the importance of this mine is self-evident. What is more important is that this mine already has an industrial chain that has existed for many years. In other words, as long as you take this mine, you can immediately produce swords, guns, and swords.
Halberd, there is no reason for the Sixth Prince not to take it.
Therefore, Liu Xing does not want the players in his alliance to seek their own death.
But Liu Xing is very curious about one thing, that is, the situation in this mine is already very clear, so doesn't the third prince have any preparations?
So Liu Xing looked at Yu Lei with curiosity, and Yu Lei also understood what Liu Xing was thinking at this time.
"Of course we can defend this mine as long as we can. After all, we also need these ores, but it is very difficult to defend this mine, so the third prince is preparing to evacuate all the miners from this mine, and then
Setting up some traps in the corridor will make it impossible for the mine to resume production in the first place."
Yu Lei sighed, shook his head and said: "We also thought about destroying this mine directly, but the ore resources of this mine are so rich, so we are still reluctant to destroy it."
While Liu Xing and others were discussing the mines in Baitie Town, Tian Qing and the others were also in an abandoned mine.
"Ah, why do we come here!"
Li Mengyao said with some fear: "I suspect that my character card is claustrophobic. As soon as I walked into this mine tunnel, my scalp felt numb and my back felt cold, so..."
"We're here now. If we don't take our things away, wouldn't it be in vain?"
Lu Tianya smiled, patted Li Mengyao on the shoulder and said: "Although this mine tunnel has been abandoned for more than ten years, many people have been coming here to collect magnets over the years, so we don't need to worry about what will happen here.
Weird thing."
As soon as Lu Tianya finished speaking, Tian Qing, who was walking in the front, stopped.
"What's wrong?" Li Mengyao asked subconsciously.
"there's noise!"
Tian Qing said seriously: "I just heard a very strange sound. It was a little soft but the frequency was very fast, so I thought I heard it wrong at first. But when I listened carefully, I found that I didn't hear it.
Wrong, because this sound is constantly moving, it is definitely not the sound of wind or other sounds!"
Hearing what Tian Qing said, Li Mengyao and Lu Tianya took out their respective weapons and twisted a small mechanism on the torch to double the brightness of the torch.
This is an adjustable torch invented by a player in Chiyou City. To put it simply, a small box with a mechanism is installed on an ordinary torch. This small box contains some kerosene, so just press the switch.
This allows the kerosene to come into contact with the flame, turning the torch into a torch in a short time.
"Is there nothing?"
Lu Tianya looked around and didn't find anything strange. "Also, people came in to collect ore two days ago, and they didn't find anything unusual. So, Qingqing, you were at the front, so the psychological pressure was greater, and then
Are you having auditory hallucinations?"
"Maybe, I was really a little nervous just now."
Tian Qing shook his head and said a little depressed: "And I don't have that voice in my ears now, so Sister Lu, please take my place... But to be honest, why did we choose to come here?
There are obviously other materials to choose from, but we just went to such a ghost place to collect magnets."
As soon as Tian Qing said this, Lu Tianya and Li Mengyao fell into silence, because the three of them made this decision together, and neither of them expected that this would be the case now.
As for why Tian Qing and the others thought of coming here to collect magnets, the main reason is that they heard that magnets are everywhere here, because these magnets are really not of much use in today's New Dragon Empire, and if they are useful, they will not be used much. After all, in
In this martial arts module, various types of ores are used to make weapons or agricultural tools, but magnets are really bad at these aspects, so there are a lot of discarded magnets in this mine.
As mentioned before, because Tian Qing and Su Qiu Sheng have a very good relationship, only Tian Qing and Su Qiu Sheng can get a guaranteed reward if they bring the things on the list. So Tian Qing and Su Qiu Sheng will receive a guaranteed reward today.
I just wanted to take a rest, so I planned to come here to pick up a few magnets and take them back, and then I could have a rest.
There is no way, the weather in Chiyou City is getting hotter and hotter, and the surrounding trees are constantly transpiration, causing the entire Chiyou City to become humid and hot!
If possible, Tian Qing and the other three would not want to go out at this time. Instead, they would stay in their own small yard and think about life, or take a good nap.
"Before I came to settle in Chengdu, I actually lived in Yangcheng for a few years. Everything there was pretty good. It was just a bit overwhelming when I came back to Nantian. Every day when I came home, I saw water everywhere on the walls.
Zhu, that’s why I chose to move to Chengdu and live a small life of drinking tea and playing mahjong every day.”
Lu Tianya wiped the sweat on his head with a handkerchief, shook his head and said: "It turned out that we miscalculated this time. We didn't expect that the weather in Chiyou City was so bad! Fortunately, there are some capable people in the sect, and they are on the surrounding walls.
I prepared a few condensation plates to consume all the excess water vapor, otherwise we will really become water people."
"So our travel plan must be completed as soon as possible. When Su Qiusheng sets off, we must follow him immediately! Because I really don't want to stay in Chiyou City for a whole day."
Li Mengyao let out a long sigh and continued: "But even if we can't successfully leave the army, we still have to learn some things, otherwise wouldn't our visit to Chiyou City be in vain? And I think Liu Xing and the others should also need our training.
Beast power."
"So after we go back today, let's learn the kung fu for a few days. After all, we have almost received the rewards, and the remaining items are quite difficult to find, or we may encounter them.
It’s dangerous, so we’d better be careful.”
When Tian Qing wanted to say something more, a "didi-didi" sound suddenly sounded from the corner in front.
Just like Tian Qing said just now, this sound is a bit like the sound of extremely fast footsteps.
But this time, Tian Qing and three other people heard the sound.
So Tian Qing and the other three stopped and focused their attention on the corner in front of them.
The sound was getting closer and closer, and it was obviously the sound made by some kind of creature.
Therefore, Tian Qing and the three of them started to retreat slowly with tacit understanding. Tian Qing also put the torch in his hand on the ground and took out a new torch from behind.
But the style of this torch is also quite special!
If the common torch looks like a big chicken leg, then this new torch looks like a long gun, but the gun head has a flame effect, so this torch also has the function of a weapon.
When Tian Qing was ready, Lu Tianya and Li Mengyao also put on new torches and formed a special musket formation.
As for the torches placed on the ground, they are not placed randomly, but their lighting range is used as much as possible, and they are placed in an orderly manner to prevent these torches from being extinguished at the same time.
After making preparations, Tian Qing and others planned to fight with this unknown creature.
Before this, Tian Qing and others had also made several moves with a lone wild wolf. Of course, this wild wolf may also be an old wolf abandoned by the wolf pack, so although the combat effectiveness is not good, the combat experience is very good.
Rich, and also very cunning, so after a few moves with Tian Qing and the others, they ran away. However, two more carbine attacks later almost sent Li Mengyao back to the real world.
Because this old wolf was targeting a vital point like the throat.
Fortunately, Su Qiu Sheng was also looking for certain materials with Tian Qing and the others, so she took action in time to save Li Mengyao. Therefore, Tian Qing and the others would choose materials like magnets that were less difficult to obtain and safer.
After a while, Tian Qing and the others saw a huge figure crowding the entire mine tunnel!
A big spider!
"Don't panic, it's just that its shadow is relatively large."
Lu Tianya has more experience than Tian Qing and Tian Qing, so he calms down Tian Qing and others, "But this thing should be as big as a washbasin, and the legs are quite long, so we will rush in later."
Just hit its main body and don't worry about its legs."
As soon as Lu Tianya finished speaking, the spider appeared in front of everyone.
As Lu Tianya said, the body of this big spider is about the same as a washbasin, but it has long legs of more than two meters, and it looks very slender, about the same as a matchstick.
"Look, how can such thin legs support the body? This is totally unreasonable!" Li Mengyao couldn't help but say.
"In this martial arts module, there are a lot of unreasonable things."
Lu Tianya took a deep breath and said seriously: "The situation has changed. Our main attack direction will change from the spider's body to its limbs. Well, this thing seems to have more than four legs, but as long as we can interrupt a few of its legs,
If it has two legs, its ability to move should be directly reset to zero, because the remaining legs may not be able to support it forward."
"Well, I just want to ask now, where are the eyes and mouth of this spider?" Tian Qing said suddenly.
Lu Tianya took a closer look and realized that the spider's body was completely black, like a black ball of wool.
"What is this? Isn't it a spider?"
Li Mengyao said with a trembling tone: "So do we really want to fight it? I think this guy doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking us, so it's better for us to withdraw directly?"
Looking at the unknown creature that was lingering, Lu Tianya nodded after thinking for a moment and said: "Okay, let's go! This thing may have some strange abilities, so it's better if we don't confront it head-on.
"
Although Tian Qing and the three of them also learned some martial arts in the sect, they were all used to deal with various common beasts, so they were a bit wrong to deal with this unknown spider-like creature, so it was better to retreat just to be on the safe side.
.
Fortunately, this spider looked at Tian Qing and the others who were slowly retreating. I don't know whether it was because it was afraid of fire after living in the darkness for a long time, or because it had no intention of doing anything. In short, it just stood there and kept going.
A step forward, but not even half a step beyond the realm of possibility.
In this way, Tian Qing and the other three people evacuated the mine tunnel without any danger!
"Let me go, there are a lot of people, or players, who have come here in the past two days. How come they haven't encountered this monster? And we haven't gone deep into this mine!" Tian Qing complained.
