"Ang~~!!" The fake dragon led the way, and everyone in the forest fled under the dragon's roar.
It doesn't matter even if you enter the territory of the monsters, because the monsters below the fourth level will have fled without a trace just by hearing the dragon's roar, and they will only dare to return after the dragon leaves.
With the giant dragon leading the way, the kobold army traveled smoothly and soon arrived at the saltpeter mine cave discovered by Jia Zhengjin yesterday.
The huge fake dragon was left outside the cave to let loose.
Jia Zhengjin took Zhuoma, Karl, and more than two thousand kobolds into the wide cave.
Everyone held up torches, lighting up every corner inside.
"Listen to me, there are probably some weird creatures inside, so stay alert!" Jia Zhengjin ordered loudly, "Now listen to my orders and march inside!"
After receiving the order, the kobold troops immediately began to advance inside.
"Phew!" Just after walking a few steps, the strange black shadow that appeared yesterday appeared again.
"Drink!!" Zhuoma reacted quickly and rushed forward with an axe.
"Squeak~~" The black shadow shrank immediately.
[News] Dolma killed the fungus ball and you gained 40 experience points!
"Fungi ball?" Jia Zhengjin stepped forward and thought to himself, this black shadow turns out to be so weak!
He reached out and fumbled around.
[News] You got fungal spores!
【News】You got delicious mushroom meat!
Fungal spores are seeds that can be planted, and they will probably grow into a slime-like black shadow, right? However, this thing seems to be aggressive, and if planted in the city, it may endanger those children.
The delicious fungus meat is edible. After taking a bite, I found it was slightly sweet, and it was indeed quite delicious!
Walking inside, there are about a dozen of these fungus balls.
Dolma and Karl fired their bows left and right, and easily killed all the kobold troops without waiting for them to react.
These fungus balls only seem to drop spores and fungus flesh, and no other loot.
"Start mining!" Jia Zhengjin immediately ordered after walking a while and discovering a large amount of saltpeter ore.
The kobold miners immediately got busy and started digging quickly in the light of torches.
Jia Zhengjin left 500 kobold warriors behind to protect the 100 miners at work, and then said to Dolma and Karl: "Let's go inside and have a look!"
"Yes!" Zhuoma and the werewolf Karl immediately led the way.
This cave gets wider and wider as you go inside, and the space becomes bigger!
After Jia Zhengjin entered, he was a little worried whether the stone layer above would collapse.
There are stalactites everywhere in the cave, hanging from the top and standing below, and there are countless large and small ones. If you look at it from a distance, you will definitely think that this is the mouth of a huge monster, and the stalactites are its densely packed sharp teeth!
There is obviously a lot of natural water inside, but the humidity is not that high, and it also feels a little dry.
The important thing is that there are saltpeter mines everywhere near the stalactite layer. This is simply a treasure house of saltpeter! If all of it is mined back, how much gunpowder can be made? Jia Zhengjin was very excited.
"There are many caves inside!" Zhuoma observed carefully, "This is too big!"
"It's better if it's big!" Jia Zhengjin said with a smile, "It's best if it's all mines, then I won't have to worry about the output of gunpowder anymore!"
While I was talking, I suddenly heard a strange sound of footsteps.
"Click, click..." The sudden appearance of this sound is scary enough, but there is an echo inside the cave, which makes it even more terrifying.
"Is there something inside?" Jia Zhengjin cautiously retreated to the team, letting Dolma and Karl protect him.
The kobold troops immediately moved forward, ready to attack at any time.
"Shh~~" Hearing the sound getting closer and closer, Jia Zhengjin made a gesture of silence.
After a while, a skeleton wearing iron armor and carrying an iron sword came out of a cave. As soon as it saw a stranger, it immediately took steps and rushed over.
"Holy crap! This shouldn't be a tomb, right?" Jia Zhengjin was startled.
"Boom! Boom!!" The skeleton was also miserable. Before it could rush in front of Jia Zhengjin, it was immediately shot at by hundreds of kobold crossbowmen. It turned into a honeycomb in an instant, and its head was shot away.
[News] The Kobold Crossbow Soldier killed the Skeleton Swordsman, you gain 35 experience points!
"So vulnerable?" Jia Zhengjin quickly walked over to collect the loot.
[Message] You have obtained [Iron Helmet]!
[Message] You have obtained [Iron Armor]!
[News] You have obtained [Iron Long Sword]!
[News] You have obtained [Iron Leggings]!
[News] You have obtained [Iron Combat Boots]!
【Message】You got 【Bone Meal】!
The skeleton swordsman exploded with all his iron weapons and armor, plus a pinch of bone powder, which really left Jia Zhengjin speechless: "Poor ghosts! Could it be that there are all such poor ghosts in there? That would be too boring! Come on anyway.
Some monsters that can explode good things!"
"Xixissuosuo!" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the echo of dense footsteps.
"Didn't I say be quiet?" Jia Zhengjin turned around and glanced at the kobold troops displeased. It turned out that the kobolds didn't move at all. So what was this noisy, flood-like footsteps coming from?
"Lord Keen," Zhuoma raised his giant ax and looked ahead warily, "A lot of them are coming!"
"The smell of insects~~" Karl raised his nose and smelled it, then turned to him and said.
"Insects?" Jia Zhengjin was about to ask what kind of insects they were, but an astonishing number of ants suddenly appeared at the entrances and exits of the countless caves in front of him, as if they were like a flood!
These ants are green in color and are as huge as adult buffaloes. Their mouths are like the collision of the upper jaws of two scimitars, making a squeaking sound.
"Holy shit! This number..." Jia Zhengjin broke into a cold sweat. People with trypophobia might faint immediately. In just a few seconds, thousands of giant ants had appeared, and the number was still increasing.
When they saw Jia Zhengjin and others breaking into the cave, they immediately roared threateningly, then rushed over, and the war was about to break out!
"Breath fire!!" Jia Zhengjin quickly put on a tiger mask and spit out blazing flames from his mouth to burn the giant ants.
Zhuoma waved his giant ax and went straight up, dancing crazily in the ever-increasing ant swarm.
[Message] You killed legion ants and gained 2 experience points!
[News] Dolma killed the legion ant, you get 2 experience points!
…
Carl also immediately joined the battle, and the kobolds immediately lined up. An extremely fierce battle began!
Fortunately, although the number of legion ants is terrifying, at least tens of thousands, their combat power is weak, and even the kobolds can easily shoot them. Dolma and Karl are even more exaggerated, and they are as stress-free as harvesting.
The experience is indeed small, but I can’t stand the large number!
