"Hmph," Husky waved his sword in the critical situation and instantly activated his combat skill [Arm Force Explosion]. The powerful sword strike hit the plasma cannon and bounced the charged electrolyte back, hitting a lightning bolt. Lizard's forehead.
"Ouch," the monster screamed, seeming to be in great pain. Its scream shocked several other thunder lizards, and they hesitated for a moment.
The two teenagers also quickened their pace and ran towards the cave. They swooped down and immediately hid in the cave.
"Huh," Hal got up and sweated.
A thunder lizard that was following behind stuck its head in, just enough to block the entrance to the cave. Seeing that it could not enter the cave, it opened its mouth and spit out a plasma cannon like a fool, hitting Husky who fell on the ground.
Being hit by that kind of thing would probably kill him in an instant. Seeing that the situation was critical, Hal activated his combat skills again and used his legs to exert enough strength to swoop in and push Husky away.
The plasma cannon passed by Hal's legs, and countless electric arcs left imprints on the Leopard Man boy's legs.
"Ugh," Hal didn't feel any pain (shielded by the system), but only felt a sharp numbness.
"No," Husky grabbed his friend and ran deeper into the cave until he was out of the attack range of the thunder lizard.
"Hal, are you okay?" Husky asked as soon as he put down the leopard boy.
"Hmm... I think I'm okay, meow," Hal struggled to get up. His legs were still sore and numb, and there was some swelling and pain in his legs. There were strange lightning scars on his skin, but there was no actual damage. At least he can still move around.
"It's really dangerous. If an ordinary person is hit by that kind of attack, even if it is just a glancing blow, he will immediately die of cardiac paralysis. Is it because you are a leopard man? You seem to have an ability to resist electricity far beyond ordinary people."
"Uncle Arthur," Husky said while helping to rub Hal's sore legs and turning around in surprise.
Arthur had been waiting in the cave for a long time. He actually ran faster than the Leopard Man boy who used sprinting combat skills. What principle was relied on to allow a mere human to have such terrifying speed?
Arthur ignored the two teenagers and muttered to himself: "By the way, in order for leopard people to burst out with extraordinary speed, their bodies should have stronger power generation capabilities than ordinary people. Electric energy can stimulate muscles to increase speed, and at the same time allow the body to respond to The resistance to electric shock has been enhanced, it’s an interesting structure------"
"Ahem, let's not talk about that anymore," Arthur stood up: "Now, let's start mining."
"Wait, let me check first," Husky quickly opened the inventory to check the items he picked up as soon as he arrived in a safe environment.
There were some thunder lizard meat, some lizard scales, and two lizard teeth in the inventory, but there was no trace of the aphrodisiac stone.
"Alas," Husky sighed. He didn't pick up what he should have picked up. It was really unlucky.
"Don't be like this, meow. At least we have all leveled up, meow," Hal patted his friend's shoulder and comforted him, "Let's see what new combat skills we can learn, meow."
However, when he opened the menu to check the combat skills with great interest, he found that there was nothing extra.
"You can't learn it now. You have to go back to the [Eternal Altar] to learn new combat skills," Arthur added: "Don't waste time in a place like this, start mining quickly."
The sky is getting dark, and the mine is extremely dark. If this continues, the situation will be very bad.
The two teenagers sighed. So far, they had gained almost nothing. They could only dig for ore honestly and complete the task first.
"But I still don't understand, Meow," Hal followed Arthur slowly into the mine: "Why did we kill so many wild boars before, even the bosses, and it was not easy to get to the next level------Now Just kill a thunder lizard and you will suddenly be promoted to another level. Those thunder lizards are really such powerful monsters. They are on the same level as the previous forest bears."
"No, it's probably because..." the dog man boy walking behind Hal explained: "We defeated the giant forest bear before, and the experience points we got were not only enough for us to level up, but we also had some leftovers, and then we killed them again. We bought a Thunder Lizard, and the combined experience points are just enough for us to level up again,"
"That's right," Arthur interrupted Husky's analysis: "But haven't you noticed that using combat skills to give the enemy a fatal attack will reward you with more experience points than usual,"
"Oh, that's it, meow,"
"In other words, we must use combat skills as much as possible to deal with those monsters,"
Only then did Husky realize that he had chosen the right combat skills and weapons. Such powerful weapons and combat skills that increase strength are perfect for giving monsters a finishing blow. There are additional experience points for using them. , why not do it.
He carefully calculated that he could still use [Arm Explosion] eight times today, while Hal had six remaining opportunities to use [Powerful Sprint]. If he made good use of this, he might really be able to make a fortune...
"Here we are," Arthur led the two teenagers into a slightly wider cave, surrounded by mining tools and even mine carts.
"This used to be a prosperous mine, but in the end it had to be abandoned because the Thunder Lizards moved their territory. The locals could not fight against such terrifying monsters as the Thunder Lizards," Arthur explained: "In short, the tools here They are all ownerless, so you’re welcome, just find a good pickaxe and dig it yourself.”
"Um...Uncle Arthur," Hal asked in a low voice.
"What's wrong, I want to go to the toilet again,"
"No..." Hal said with a blush, "I just want to ask how to dig out iron ore from these rocks. They all look almost the same..."
"Well, is there a secret?" Arthur picked up an old iron pickaxe and thought for a while: "The secret is... there is no secret. Miners mostly use luck when mining."
"Oh," the two teenagers immediately showed unhappy expressions.
"If you really want to ask for tips, I will tell you, dig as much as you can, no matter whether it is iron ore or not, just dig as much as you can. Anyway, your inventory can hold unlimited props.
When real miners mine, they also dig out all the ores that may contain mineral deposits, and then go back and slowly refine them,"
How tiring that must be, the two teenagers looked at each other.
No, a better way to mine existed, and Husky thought of it right away.
The deeper you go into the mine, and the more you dig into areas that no one has ever dug before, the greater the chance of finding iron ore, and perhaps high-value gemstones.
Of course, the deeper you go into the mine, the greater the danger. God knows what dangerous enemies are hidden in it. This long-abandoned mine has probably become a lair for monsters, and it can be said that murderous intentions are hidden everywhere.
"Well," Husky swallowed and whispered a few words in the ear of the leopard boy.
"Okay, go ahead, meow," Hal nodded and agreed without hesitation.
"Then let's go," Husky picked up a stone on the ground and made a mark on the road.
"Haha, do you really plan to go deep into the mine?" Arthur sneered from the side: "Be careful of getting lost. Even the scroll of town return does not work in the closed area. Players who get lost in the mine almost only have one ending. :die,"
The two teenagers looked at their Uncle Arthur and shrugged.
Isn't it just death once? They are impoverished and have nothing to lose.
"Then... I wish you good luck," Arthur found a big rock to sit down and clicked on the menu bar a few times: "I'll hand you the torch. I won't follow you. I'll wait here in two hours." Remember to come back,"
"Uncle Arthur is not coming, meow---" As soon as he heard that the King of Knights was not coming with him, the young leopard man felt unsure.
Arthur smiled: "I'm not your nanny. Do you have to follow me to dig a mine? You can think of a way by yourself."
"Well...okay," Husky lit the torch.
He had long expected that as they became more familiar with the game process, Uncle Arthur would provide them with less and less assistance. In the end, even the opportunity to provide guidance was cut off, and the two teenagers were completely allowed to move freely. .
Just as he wanted, Husky looked at the dwindling timer on the torch. It said it was two hours, but the torch could actually only burn for thirty minutes, because the game time was four times the real time.
Counting the return trip, they had very little time to move freely.
When Hal was also about to light a torch for lighting, Husky shook his head and stopped him: "It's just fine for the two of us to share one torch. Save that torch."
Hal nodded and put the torch back into the inventory. If the two torches were used in turns, their real action time would be doubled to one hour.
The two teenagers did not hesitate, and immediately rushed into the depths of the mine with torches in their hands.
At the same time, somewhere on the East African plateau.
The two "gods", surrounded by a group of Pygmies, came to a floating island only thirty yards high from the ground.
"It's such a short floating island," Bedivere said as he looked at the floating island, "It feels like it can't fly and is about to sink."
"God knows, the stock of light stones is relatively small, so the buoyancy will naturally be poor." Palamedes looked at the floating island carefully. There seemed to be various man-made buildings on it: "Oh my God, these Pygmies actually live there." On the floating island, aren't they afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Bedivere set his sights on a device on the floating island. It was a lightning rod roughly made from locally mined iron ore and about seven feet long.
These savages actually know how to smelt iron, and can also use iron to make lightning rods.
Indeed, with this, the floating island can guide the lightning in the sky one by one to the sprite mine inside the floating island. The sprite will quickly absorb the power of thunder and lightning, and the people standing on the floating island will Unscathed.
With the help of devices, it shouldn't be a problem for the Pygmies to live on these floating islands forever.
The Pygmies were obviously a group of uncivilized savages, but their wisdom should not be underestimated. Bedivere couldn't help but become even more nervous.
