The Cristo Hills are located on the edge of the Mana Hill Plain, connected to the Titanini Mountains. It is also a buffer zone for the Ford Business Alliance and the Dwarf Kingdom. Legend has it that in the age of doom, the remaining magicians opened the door of time and space for the future and development of the human race in Galintia, and sent all other intelligent races of Galintia to other sub-plane worlds. But somehow the dwarf tribe in the Titanini Mountains was missed. After more than two thousand years, this dwarf tribe slowly developed and established the dwarf kingdom centered on the Titanini Mountains.
This is the only civilized and intelligent race similar to human beings found in Galintia so far. However, the range of activities that the dwarves like to do is mostly in the high mountain area, and they have contact with humans, and there has been no conflict. On the contrary, there are some business exchanges from time to time.
The Christopher Hills are nominally within the sphere of influence of the Commercial Alliance, but in fact the Commercial Alliance cannot effectively divide and govern the Christopher Hills. To put it bluntly, the mountain people living here are rebellious by nature, brave and aggressive, a joke, a collision may cause large-scale bloody fighting. At present, the business alliance is adopting a policy of appeasement. It is said that there is a proposal to divide the Cristo Hills into areas as a place for those who have made contributions to the business alliance. This proposal is still under consideration by the business alliance.
For three days and two nights, Fatty Shi took Lorist and the others to their destination, a small village called Baka. The client who greeted them was the client of this private work, the head of Baka Village and the owner of the mine. , a middle-aged man named Bam.
Speaking of which, Bam is also Lorist's senior, who graduated from Dawn Academy. Bam's father once participated in the business alliance's invasion war against the Krissen Empire, and was injured and returned to his hometown. After seeing the world, he wanted to change the poverty and backwardness of the village, so he gritted his teeth and collected tuition fees to send Bam to Chenxi College go to school. Bam has studied for three years, and the two majors are resource exploration and mineral development. It's just that these two majors of Chenxi College have always been unpopular, and the tutors who teach these two courses are not very professional.
After returning to his hometown, it took Bam five or six years to combine his theoretical knowledge and practical experience, and finally found a vein under a small mountain near the small village of Baka. After mining, it was found to be a silver-tin associated mine. Although the output is not much, this small mine has become the mainstay of the survival of five or six small villages around it. Thanks to this small mine, there has been no starvation in the surrounding villages in the past ten years, and food and clothing have been basically guaranteed. And Bam also relies on the profits of this small mine to send all the talented children in the village to Morente to study, hoping that they will have better development when they grow up.
After talking with Bam, everyone admired Bam, an old senior. It is not something everyone can do to give up his development in Morente City and return to his hometown to change the poverty situation, especially when he opened a small mine. It is even more rare to use the money earned to send the children in the village to study. Lorist and Yuri are well aware that the tuition fees for maintaining a few children in Morente City are not a small sum.
Senior Bam was very straightforward. He introduced that he had found traces of gold-eating rats in the depths of the mine a year ago. As a black iron swordsman, he took people down and killed two of them, and then stopped for a while. Later, it was discovered that the whereabouts of the gold-eating rats were led by him to inspect, and he killed about a dozen of them in a year. It wasn't until two months ago that the miners who were working were attacked by gold-eating rats. Three people died and five were injured. A bronze swordsman, ready to go down to the mine to clean up the gold-eating rats.
However, this clearing operation failed to achieve its goal. Bam's team was attacked by nearly a hundred gold-eating rats in the mine. The team of 14 people was caught off guard, and almost everyone was injured. Although they killed no less than thirty gold-eating rats, they couldn't stop the attack of the gold-eating rats wave after wave, and finally retreated to the ground reluctantly, paying the price of serious injuries to nine people.
At this time, Bam has realized that the gold-eating rats in the mine are a disaster, and the only way is to issue a mission to find mercenaries to eliminate the gold-eating rats. It’s just that money is a little tight. After paying the miners’ pensions and the medical expenses of people like myself, there are less than 30 gold coins left, and because the mine has been closed for more than a month, I have not received any money, so I have to save some money to buy food and distribute it to the surrounding areas The village, so the task rewards that can be given are only a dozen gold coins. However, the news from the mercenary union made him very disappointed. A task commission like his would cost five Gold Fords, and the rest would not be enough to pay the mercenaries for the task.
Bam suddenly remembered that when he was studying at Chenxi Academy, the students in the academy often formed an adventure team to take on missions to earn extra money, so he asked the children who were studying in the academy to inquire, and finally found Fatty Shi.
After listening to what Bam said, everyone was relieved. There should be no risk in this private business, and everyone can trust the character of the village chief Bam. Fatty Shi analyzed it for everyone. According to the information provided by Senior Bam, the number of gold-eating rats under the mine should be around 200 to 300. If it is not, there will be at least nearly a thousand of them besieging Senior Bam and his party. If there are nearly a hundred sieges, five of them, three silver and two black irons are enough to deal with them. Even if they can't kill all the gold-eating mice, they can kill the female mouse king and force the remaining gold-eating mice to leave the area where the mine is located.
Although the 18 Goldfords paid by Senior Bam was a bit insufficient, it was enough for everyone to earn a fortune. What's more, senior Bam will bring two bronze swordsmen to join the team, one is to be a guide and the other is to help everyone carry luggage, all free services. The most important point is that all the gains during this mission belong to the adventure team. Precious metal ores can often be found in the old lair of the gold-eating rats. Someone has obtained a large piece of dog's head gold before, and that is a good thing. So this adventure is very worthwhile, everyone has a good night's rest, and we will set off tomorrow.
"... Generally speaking, the meat of the gold-eating rat is slightly sour, but it can be eaten safely. It tastes better if it is made into dried bacon. All the blood in the internal organs should be discarded. These are inedible and have heavy metal toxins. The golden-eating rat is the most powerful The most important thing is the two front teeth, which are very hard. The purchase price of a front tooth on the market is a small silver coin. But its fur is useless, mainly because the smell cannot be removed, no matter how it is tanned, it has a similar The stench of the sewer gutter remains on it, which attracts mosquitoes and flies, so don't throw it away... "
In the mine, El was assigned to make a sudden reconnaissance. Fatty Shi, Yuri, and Terman walked in the middle, followed by Lorist, senior Bam, and two bronze swordsmen carrying iron cages. As he walked, Lorist showed off to Senior Bam the knowledge he had learned in the professional course of knowledge of Warcraft: "The smell of pine trees, especially the roots of pine trees, is what gold eaters hate the most. The potion we applied at the fork just now is Extracted from the old roots of pine trees, this is to prevent gold-eating rats from escaping and isolating their activity space... "
"Well, yes, this is the research result published last year. It is the latest discovery of Professor Snard Borg, the instructor of our college's Warcraft knowledge major. For this, he won the Ford Research Award and won 200,000 gold The bonus will be distributed immediately. This discovery is the gospel of all mine owners. As long as you regularly apply potions in the mines, you can drive the golden rats away from the mines and avoid being harassed."
"The price is not expensive. There are only three goldfords in a large barrel, and it can last for a month. In fact, after you use it for a long time, the mining area will naturally retain the smell of pine trees. You don't need to apply potion after using it for a year or two. It’s really a good deal! Senior Bam, please think about it. If you want to buy it, please send me a letter. The supply of this potion is in short supply, and the academy’s production is limited. If you are not an insider, you can’t get it. If you want to use it, I will definitely use it based on our friendship. Get it for you."
Lorist was very proud. As long as Senior Bam was moved, he could get a gold coin in sales for one barrel, and twelve barrels of potions a year, and he could get twelve Goldfords without any effort. This is a good deal, why don't you go to those mines to sell this potion after you go back this trip
As Lorist and the others went further and further down, they had already encountered two waves of gold-eating mice. More than two hundred gold-eating mice died under the sword of the adventure team. Not to mention Fatty Shi, El and Terman's three silver-ranked strengths, just the performance of Yuri and Lorist's two black irons made Senior Bam and the two bronze swordsmen stunned.
Standing in the middle of the triangle formed by Fatty Shi, El and Terman, facing the swarming swarm of gold-eating rats, Yuri did not act as the main attacker, but filled in the gaps, so that Fatty Shi and the three had no worries. Let go of hacking. And Lorist was even more exaggerated, one person with one sword, standing alone on the side, one sword and one gold-eating rat, killing dozens of them without even getting a drop of rat blood on their bodies, and the killing was not slower than Fatty Shi and the others.
The three of Bam are ashamed, fourteen of them went down the cave and encountered the same number of gold-eating rats, which ones were not in a hurry. seriously injured. Looking at other people now, it's easy to kill, just like practicing swords.
After killing the two waves of gold-eating rats, Fatty Shi decided that everyone should take a break first, take a breather, and pick up the spoils casually. Yuri took a pair of pliers and was going to pull out the tooth of the gold eater. Senior Bam asked everyone not to kill the dead rats, and remembering what Lorist said about rat meat being edible, he asked a bronze swordsman to go back to the village to find someone to bring the dead rats back to the village. People add some meat.
After eating some dry food and taking a nap, Fatty Shi decided to divide the troops into two groups. He took Terman and Yuri to take the left fork, and Lorist and El took the right fork. There shouldn't be many rats left. Now just find the rat nest and kill the female rat king, and you'll be done.
Lorist was carrying a bag containing the potion to repel golden rats, and he applied it casually as he walked.
Al asked, "What are you doing?"
Lorist briefly introduced the efficacy of the potion, because El didn't open a mine, so he had no intention of selling it.
Al doubted the efficacy of the potion, and the two bickered again.
After walking for a long time, I found nothing. Seeing that the main mine road in front of me was almost at the end, and I found nothing and encountered a gold-eating mouse, El said: "Go back, there is nothing here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the rock wall in front of him suddenly arched, and then it cracked with a "bang", and a huge black head came out. It seemed to sniff the air a few times before heading straight towards Lorist and El. swooped on.
"What?" Lorist was so frightened that he even dropped the torch in his hand. This thing must be too big, the diameter of the head is two meters.
"Hurry up and run away!" El grabbed Lorist, turned around and ran away.
"Day, I knew it was not a good thing to meet you. I was unlucky enough the last two times. This time you insisted on joining me, and I was always worried about when you would be unlucky. Now I feel at ease. Killing the mouse and killing such a It's a shit, it's bad luck, it's bad luck." Lorist complained while running behind El.
"You haven't thanked my brother for pulling you, otherwise you would have been swallowed by that thing, did you even drop the torch because you were so scared just now?" El replied.
"I just suddenly remembered the one-horned rock python in the legendary mine incident. I'm afraid it's this guy behind me. When I saw that head and long body just now, I thought it was that thing, so I was dumbfounded." Lorist's face was a little dazed. Hot, I was really frightened just now, but luckily Elle gave me a hand.
El looked back while running, and said after a while: "I don't think it looks like a monohorned rock python. The thing behind it is not fast, its head is round, it seems to have no eyes, and it doesn't have scales on its body..."
"No way, you can see it in such a dark place? Don't treat me like a child, do I look easy to deceive? Also, don't run so fast, we can't see anything and be careful to hit the rock wall. said Lorist.
"Haha," El smiled triumphantly, "Brother, you know that I have practiced dark-attribute fighting qi, but you don't know that cultivating dark-attribute fighting qi can give people the ability to see at night, right? It’s like daytime, this is my brother’s innate ability. How about it, be amazing, be envious, it’s not like you become blind when you lose the torch.”
"Day, brother, I have gold coins and I can afford lamp oil. It's not like you never light lamps..." Lorist envied. This guy's night vision seems to be not much worse than my dynamic vision, especially at night. It's a great deal.
"So you should have enjoyed watching it in the women's bathroom that day. Although the light inside is very dark, it's not a problem for you." Lorist asked out of breath.
"Can I say don't mention what happened that day? My brother is really facing the wall, he didn't look at those old ladies..." As soon as Lorist said that, El remembered the worrying words again, and became anxious. As a result, he was accidentally knocked over by a stone.
Lorist hurried over to help, El grabbed Lorist's arm and got up: "Huh? Locke, why are you injured? Your clothes are wet?"
Lorist was startled, and touched up and down: "Oh, it's not that I was injured, it was that the bag containing the medicine was broken, and the medicine was poured on him. Are you okay, I seem to hear movement from behind."
"I'm fine, that thing is catching up again, let's run."
After a while, I saw Fatty Shi and the others waiting at the place where they had been resting. The two of them were running out of breath and couldn't speak, so they waved their hands to signal everyone to run. As a result, Fatty Shi and the others thought it was funny seeing Lorist and El dancing, and stood there laughing non-stop. Then they saw a big guy "rumbling" chasing after the two of them. This time it became lively, and everyone turned their heads and ran out of the mine like chickens flying like dogs.
Fatty Shi was the fastest runner even though he was fat. He ran out of the mine first, followed by Yuri, Terman, Bam and a bronze swordsman, and finally El and Lorist. The other bronze swordsman outside the mine and the villagers who were about to load the body of the gold-eating mouse back to the village were all stunned when they escaped, what happened
Fatty Shi yelled at them: "Run, spread out, don't stay at the entrance of the cave, there are monsters coming out!"
Everyone scattered like birds and beasts. Fortunately, the big guy chasing in the cave seemed to be afraid of light, and he retreated after chasing to the entrance of the cave.
Fatty Shi heaved a sigh of relief, and asked Lorist and El: "What the hell is that? How did you meet? Pooh, Locke, what's the smell on you? Did you pee?"
Lorist said: "No, the potion was poured on me. It is the potion invented by Professor Snard Berger of our college to drive away the golden rats. Because this trip is to kill golden rats, so I took Here comes a bucket."
"Damn! You cheated, brought that potion here, I know what's in it." Fatty Shi jumped up and down, angrily punching Lorist.
"No, Fatty Shi, tell me clearly, isn't it good that this potion can drive away the gold-eating rats?" Lorist asked while hiding.
"What a fart! It's true that this potion can drive away the gold-eating rats, but it can attract the earth dragon. The thing inside is the earth dragon, which was attracted by your potion."
"Do you know what an earth dragon is? This thing is a magical variant of earthworms. My favorite is the potion extracted from the roots of this pine tree. If you don't believe me, go dig under the pine tree and see, it is guaranteed to be a large nest of earthworms. Some people in the academy have used this potion to hunt earth dragons."
"Professor Boge invented this potion and wanted to make a fortune, but he drove away the gold-eating rats and attracted earth dragons, which caused him to lose all the 200,000 bonus, and the potions he produced piled up. Don’t you know if you can’t sell it in the academy? Day, only a fool like you will be fooled by the professor!” Fatty Shi was furious.
I am also sorry, no wonder the professor promised himself that he would get one gold coin if he sold a barrel for three gold coins. How can there be such a good deal in the world! Lorist squatted on the ground with his head in his arms: "You hit me, everyone come over and beat me up to vent your anger."
No one came to beat him. Now that the matter has reached such a point, we have to think about how to solve it. Compared with other monsters, the earth dragon is relatively easy to solve. After discussing for a long time, everyone felt that it was more reliable to adopt the method of fishing.
Dilong is actually an extra-large earthworm. It is afraid of water and light. It is a kind of mild-tempered scavenging monster. It has no active aggressiveness against lively targets. Of course, this is due to its large body, slow speed, and insensitive response. It also has a lot to do with it. Fatty Shi led the group and spent six days with the assistance of the head of Bam and the villagers to weave a thick rope nearly 100 meters long, and then tied a big iron hook like a ship's anchor. To make atonement, a man entered the mine with a big iron hook tied with a thick rope on his back.
As he was walking in, he found that there was someone beside him, but it was El. Lorist asked, "What are you doing here?"
El said: "Of course my brother will come to accompany you. If Fatty Shi didn't ask Yuri and Terman to help pull the rope, they would also come together. Because we are companions."
Lorist was moved to tears on the spot.
After walking for a while, El said that it was almost the same. So he put down the big iron hook and wrapped it with a rag, and Lorist poured the remaining half bucket of potion onto the big iron dog and the rag.
Soon, there was another sound of "wheezing and wheezing" in the mine. El said to run, and the two rushed out of the cave.
Before reaching the entrance of the cave, the thick rope on the ground jumped up and collapsed tightly in the air one meter high. Lorist said happily, "I'm hooked."
Outside the mine, Fatty Shi was instructing the villagers to start a tug-of-war with several big wheels and the earth dragon in the cave. From the morning to the afternoon, I finally pulled the earth dragon to the entrance of the cave, but the earth dragon didn't know what was resisting in the cave, and it couldn't come out alive or alive. In the end, while everyone was chanting the slogan "One, two, three, work hard", Lorist saw the mine cave like a torrent erupting, black and foul blood and mucus gushing out, and a big iron hook flew out, with large and small hooks hooked on it. Small tubular strips.
Fatty Shi took a closer look and said with satisfaction: "That's right, all the internal organs have been pulled out, and the earth dragon is dead. We'll go in and pull out the skin tomorrow."
The earth dragon has a strong regeneration ability, and the damage to the outside body can be easily recovered. Therefore, people took advantage of the characteristics of earth dragons to swallow food directly into their intestines, and came up with the hunting method of fishing earth dragons. Just pull out the guts of the earth dragon and the earth dragon is finished.
There is nothing valuable on Dilong's body, the only thing that is useful is the thick outer skin. People cut the outer skin into pieces and put it into the pot. When it is boiled into soup, it becomes a good adhesive. When mixed with sand, it can build walls and lay a good foundation. After it dries out, it is very strong.
Because Lorist caused the trouble, Fatty Shi gave the earth dragon skin to Senior Bam, which made him very happy. With the earth dragon's skin as an adhesive, he can build a batch of good houses in the village for the villagers to live in.
It took another three days for Lorist and his partners to remove all the gold-eating mice in the mine, and hung an iron cage in the corner, and put the corpse of a gold-eating mouse in the cage to let it rot naturally. In this way, if a gold-eating mouse passes by in the future, it will smell the death breath of the gold-eating mouse left by the iron cage, and will naturally avoid the mining area.
After finishing all this, everyone bid farewell to Senior Bam and set foot on the road back to the city.
