Chapter 136: Chapter 136
Looking at his personal space, Du You smirked in secret, feeling lucky. The first undead miner he had defeated, had already dropped a Light Ball. After some thought, Du You decided to open it.
"As expected, the rewards have decreased, it’s only level three." Du You mumbled in dissatisfaction.
Because inside the Light Ball, there were only two crystal coins. In the past, slaying a tier-three mummy worker would yield at least three to five crystal coins given the combat power. As his level had risen to four, the harvest had indeed begun to shrink.
However, killing these level three dried corpses, his speed was definitely much faster than before too.
"Rabbit, you did well, keep it up." Du You kicked the black rabbit, indicating it to move forward.
If this rabbit could curse, Du You would definitely be cursed to high heavens by now.
Next, the rabbit ran ahead while Du You followed behind. Along the way, they ran into many undead mummies. Each one had been processed, with similar injuries.
And their internal organs had all disappeared, making them very similar to a mummy without any bandages.
But these mummies, as long as they couldn’t resist his disintegration spell, they would go down in a single strike. Du You continued forward, going deeper and deeper into the mine. "This mine is quite interesting, there are no diverging paths, just this one leading into the darkness."
Thought Du You in his heart, as he cast another disintegration spell. "But the rewards from these level three mummies are quite good. Despite the lower returns, the Light Ball drop rate hasn’t lessened."
After all, the mummies were tier-three creatures. Kill ten of them, and surely one or two would drop a Light Ball. Du You had already gathered dozens of crystal coins since he arrived here. What surprised Du You the most was that he even found some materials. Black Flame Iron ore and Black Flame Iron ingots.
These items were all materials, so Du You temporarily stored them. They were decent items anyway.
Although he saw lots of Black Flame Iron ore around him, Du You had no intention of mining. Because to bring it out, he would need to spend Crystal Coins. Material wasn’t high-value. Even if he brought it out, the profit would not be worth the effort.
If the market prices fell, he would even lose money. So, he just planned on taking the ones he had found already.
Even the Black Flame Iron ingot, even if he took them out with Crystal Coins, he wouldn’t earn much. Du You wasn’t interested in such a meager amount.
If there were still students around, perhaps they might fancy them. Usually, only the Semi-Professionals would do such work.
"Huh, what’s that?" Suddenly, Du You spotted a creature different from the rest. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵
This creature didn’t look like a miner mummy. Du You cautiously approached, while the rabbit followed suit. Suddenly, the figure turned and slashed the rabbit in an instant with incredible speed.
"So fast and so powerful, what kind of creature is this?"
As Du You got closer, he finally saw it clearly. It was labeled as a mummy warrior with its level already at four.
"Whoever can create a level four undead creature is not to be trifled with."
While Du You spoke, he continued to observe. This mummy warrior was faster, apparently created by the miners, but not every miner could do so. The method of processing the body seemed similar too.
Only this time, the mummy warrior was even more desiccated. It looked like a skeleton, with its flesh dried up and stuck tightly to its bones. This highly dense flesh provided the warrior with very solid defense. Its physical strength had also greatly increased.
On the other hand, only a layer of skin was left, caving in, making it look like skin over bone.
With a wave of his hand, Du You cast a disintegration spell, feeling relieved. This thing was also unable to withstand his spell.
Walking forward, Du You looked at the palm-sized fragment thoughtfully, "Undead creatures seem to have bad resistance to magic. They may have their own characteristics, but they pose no threat in front of rule-based magic."
Thinking of this, Du You continued on. Since there was only one path with no forks in this place, there was no worry of getting lost. The path spiraled underground and wound back and forth.
Slowly exploring, Du You realized that after three days, he still hadn’t reached the end. However, he dared not hasten either, in case he encountered danger.
"I wonder who had the boredom to dig out such a mine." Du You would rather prefer if the tunnel had bifurcations now.
Black Flame Iron Fine Iron: The essence of Black Flame Iron vein, materials (bright white)
After three days, Du You had gathered Black Flame Iron Fine Iron, which rated as bright white. Unfortunately, this material was not something he could use.
Even if he returned with it, he could only sell it or give it to a blacksmith or alchemist for handling.
Anyway, it’s just some material. Du You decided not to think too much about it. Continuing on his journey, the road was still dominated by undead miners and undead warriors. As he ventured deeper, these two species also became denser. Sometimes, even Du You needed some time to defeat them.
Similarly, Du You’s harvest of crystal coins also increased. By now, he had already gathered more than six hundred untraded coins.
Suppressing the urge to level up, because in three days of time, Du You had completely adapted to his current strength.
But Du You was ready to level up at any time. If the enemy was powerful, then he would level up.
One day, Du You noticed a change in the mine. Originally, the tunnel was extremely narrow, but now the tunnel suddenly began to widen. Looking ahead with his keen vision, Du You seemed to see a stone chamber. The stones here were also harder than the ones he had seen on his journey.
"Wait, seems like there’s someone?" All of a sudden, Du You heard some movement, and so he approached even more cautiously.
As Du You got closer, he gradually heard a maniacal, twisted voice. "The Wos Empire, soon, very soon I will be successful. The things you’ve done to me, await my revenge."
"Those against the Wos Empire, wait, isn’t Border City part of the Wos Empire? That said, this guy is an enemy. No, that thing is..." Du You opened his eyes wide in surprise.
