Instructing the kobolds to decorate the stage and set up a bonfire. Jia Zhengjin always felt that something was missing.
What exactly is missing from a grand party?
An inspiration suddenly came to my mind - fireworks!
He immediately ran to the grocery store and found the proprietress: "Are there any fireworks sold here?"
"What are fireworks?" Winnie, the proprietress of the grocery store, shook her head. "The goods purchased here are different every day. Even I can't figure it out!"
Jia Zhengjin looked through all the products carefully and found no fireworks. However, he spent 5 gold coins to buy a drawing for making leather sofa furniture.
Since there is no way to sell it, you can only find a way to do it yourself.
After killing Tie Beiqiu last time, Jia Zhengjin had already learned the gunpowder formula.
The materials for synthetic gunpowder are saltpeter ore and coal.
There is so much coal that Jia Zhengjin's own residential building can harvest a lot every day after cooking. Not to mention that the coal left over from the daily lives of more than a thousand villagers and town guards in the entire city is stored in the warehouse.
So the only thing you need now is saltpeter ore!
He left the city by himself and went to the mine to bring out the shapeshifters stationed there.
There was no saltpeter in this mine, so he needed to search further afield.
Mount the shapeshifter, flap your wings, fly high into the sky, and start circling the forest.
There are many strange-shaped giant birds flocking over the forest, there are also groups of creatures similar to pterosaurs soaring, and there is also a kind of winged fox hunting pterosaurs.
Of course, these alien creatures will take the initiative to avoid the shape-shifting monster, firmly believing in its identity as a "dragon".
Jia Zhengjin activated the skill of finding mineral veins and carefully searched every inch of land he passed. There were iron ore and copper mines everywhere in the forest, and relatively few gold and silver mines, but they could also be seen.
Other mineral veins are very rare.
After searching for a long time, just when he thought there was no hope, he finally saw a trace of saltpeter mine that was not very obvious.
In excitement, he hurriedly drove the shapeshifter to land.
It is very far away from the city, and you can only vaguely see the traces of the city wall when flying high into the sky.
There are also many strange and dangerous creatures around, but in front of the fake dragon, these creatures will keep their distance and stay away as much as possible!
However, there is actually a wild kobold's lair next to the saltpeter mine.
Facing the fake dragon that the shapeshifter transformed into, all the kobolds huddled in their lairs and shivered, not daring to come out at all.
Mining is very important, but kobolds are all about experience!
Seeing that they were all hiding in the cave and afraid to come out, Jia Zhengjin took out some stone bricks from his backpack and blocked most of the entrances to the kobold's lair, leaving only one entrance.
Because the inside of the lair was connected, he asked the shapeshifter to breathe fire into the hole.
"Wusu~~" After receiving the order, the shape-shifting monster immediately walked to the lair, opened its mouth and spit out a pillar of scorching fire.
As a result, the entire kobold lair was engulfed in flames and turned into a furnace.
The kobolds felt uncomfortable being roasted in the lair, so they tried to escape one after another. As a result, they found that most of the cave entrances were blocked by stone bricks, and they could only fumble one after another to the only exit.
However, a shapeshifter was waiting at the exit. A kobold came out, and immediately a mouthful of flames burst out.
They were burned to death inside, and burned to death when they ran outside. These kobolds had no ability to resist when faced with a shapeshifter that had learned to breathe fire!
Jia Zhengjin kept receiving message prompts, and countless 30 experience points were flooding the screen. His experience bar was also rising rapidly. This new leveling method of blocking doors and spawning monsters was so exciting!
There were one or two thousand wild kobolds in the lair, and Jia Zhengjin reached level 11 before he knew it. What a surprise!
When he finally received the news that the experience value was increased by 500, he knew that all the kobolds in the entire lair had been cleared. However, he could not enter it to search for it now, so he could only leave it like this for now and wait for it to cool down!
Let the shapeshifters guard nearby. Jia Zhengjin added skill points to unlock the alchemy laboratory, then took out an ordinary-quality iron pickaxe from his backpack and quickly went to dig the saltpeter mine.
The veins of the saltpeter mine are located in the cave terrain below a cliff.
It was pitch dark inside the cave and nothing could be seen. So Jia Zhengjin took out a torch for lighting.
After finding the location of the saltpeter mine, he placed the torch and immediately picked up the iron pickaxe to mine.
[Message] You obtained saltpeter ore!
[Message] You obtained saltpeter ore...
Saltpeter ore is much easier to collect than other ores. Basically, you can get one piece every time you press the pickaxe.
Before long, he had dug out more than 300 saltpeter mines near the entrance of the cave.
Jia Zhengjin, still unfinished, took the torch and wanted to go further into the cave. However, at this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared and rushed towards him.
"Retreat!!" Jia Zhengjin felt something was wrong and immediately used his life-saving skills to move back quickly.
The black shadow flew into the air and quickly merged into the darkness and disappeared.
Although it was only a short moment, Jia Zhengjin could clearly see the general outline of this black figure. If I had to describe it, it looked like a black slime? It was also very large and its movements were very flexible.
Not knowing the opponent's strength, he first exited the cave for safety reasons.
The shapeshifter is so big that it can't even enter the cave with its head. Otherwise, would there be any need to worry about the black slime?
"To make fireworks, these should be enough, right?" After looking at the more than 300 saltpeter ores in the virtual backpack, Jia Zhengjin decided to give up digging for more ores. Come back next time and bring Dolma, Buddy, Wolf and
Karl and the others, if they bring the kobold troops and rush in, they won't believe that this black slime is immortal!
But before returning to the city, you need to search for the loot in the kobold lair!
After finally waiting for the temperature in the kobold's lair to drop, Jia Zhengjin bent down and got in through the only entrance and exit.
It was densely packed with burnt kobold corpses, and he groped through them one by one.
The low-level kobolds exploded with the lowest quality wooden sticks, and of course some simple materials, such as iron ore, wood, ropes, stones, etc. Even though mosquitoes are small, they are still meat, so he didn't kill them at all.
Pass.
Thousands of dog meat people, but they also produced a perfect wooden stick, but it was of no use!
Traveling back and forth in the maze-like cave, after a lot of effort, he finally found the body of the kobold leader in the deepest part, and next to the kobold leader was a shining golden treasure box!
Just like the first kobold lair, the main loot is on the leader, or in the treasure chest!
