265: Chapter 85: Into the Darkness_2 265: Chapter 85: Into the Darkness_2 “Hahaha, don’t worry, if anyone’s going to die, it won’t be ,” Ye Luo said confidently.
“Enough talk, I’m out of here.” Saying so, he summoned his donkey and rode away with a bray and a bounce.
This woman…
Back in town, Xiao Jie sold off the junk equipnt he had looted that day.
He double-checked the supplies in his backpack, and felt unsure.
Tomorrow was the day he would officially enter the mine.
It was impossible not to be nervous.
Having played so many gas, Xiao Jie knew very well that although surface monsters were limited in strength, the most fearso enemies and the riskiest traps were usually hidden within maps like caves, tombs, and underground cities.
Maybe it’s better to ask soone.
Thinking this, Xiao Jie opened up his QQ group.
Hidden Moon Following Wind: Guys, I’m heading into the mine with the guild tomorrow.
Any advice?
Liu Xingyu: Wow, badass, level 17 and going into the mine?
Take it easy, bro.
Northern Spear King: Exactly, I’m level 21 and I haven’t even been into one yet.
You’re really brave.
Wentian Wuji: My advice is to always have a Tunneling Light Talisman on hand just in case.
It’s a bit pricey, but really useful.
Tunneling Light Talisman…
Those things cost over a million each and are hardly available for sale.
Ordinary folks can’t even think of buying them.
They are pretty much like Town Recall Scrolls, capable of instantly teleporting you out of the underground city, although there is a few seconds casting ti when using it, but overall, it’s still considered a lifesaver.
But these talismans are generally not available for purchase.
Only by increasing sect reputation or completing Worldly Expert tasks can one possibly be rewarded with one.
Master Qingfeng almost gave one to I Want to Be Immortal, but sadly he gave it up to join Xuanxu Palace…
It’s not just about not having the money; I wouldn’t even know where to get one.
Hidden Moon Following Wind: Anything more practical?
I can’t get my hands on one of those.
An Ran: If you can’t get a Tunneling Light Talisman, get so Godspeed Talismans.
Anyway, if you encounter danger, just run.
Don’t hesitate.
Also, rember to clear the monsters as you go, and rember their respawn tis.
It’s troubleso but it ensures an escape route which makes it easier to flee.
Wentian Wuji: Exactly, oh, and if you can, bring so Light Condensing Talismans.
Hidden Moon Following Wind: Light Condensing Talisman?
Aren’t those expensive?
Aren’t torches enough?
Anything related to talismans and elixirs is never cheap.
Torches on the other hand, extrely affordable, 100 Wen each.
Wentian Wuji: The light from a torch isn’t strong enough and it creates blind spots.
Most importantly, holding a torch requires one of your hands, which could impair your combat abilities at critical monts.
Xiao Jie took the hint, hurriedly bought three at the auction house.
As he shopped, he continued chatting with the group mbers.
An Ran: Don’t be too nervous.
As long as you don’t go too deep, it should be fine in the mines.
Rember to progress in a graded manner and explore slowly.
Don’t just barge in recklessly.
Niu Baoguo: I haven’t been into a mine, but I’ve heard from those who have that zombies are especially plentiful inside.
Rember to bring so glutinous rice cakes.
Everyone was talking at once, a ton of suggestions coming forth.
It was clear that only An Ran and Wentian Wuji had real experience in mines.
Their advice was indeed useful.
Hidden Moon Following Wind: Haha, thanks everyone for the advice, now I have a clearer picture.
Xiao Jie logged out of the ga, shut down his computer, and went to bed early that night.
The next morning, Xiao Jie got up early.
At eight o’clock, Xiao Jie arrived on ti at Black Rock Village, which was very close to Old Iron Mountain Mine.
This was also why the Dragon Soaring Knights had chosen to reclaim this village previously.
He t up with Ye Luo, and then the two rode together towards Luotie Mountain.
The closer they got to Luotie Mountain, the sparser the vegetation beca.
By the ti they arrived at their destination, the surrounding area had beco desolate.
Luotie Mountain was a bare stony mountain range, scattered with broken stones.
Because it was a mining area, the mountain itself was a dark bluish-black color, with several huge black mine entrances dotting the mountain.
There was a small mine where no monsters spawned, and it was shallow.
Many players mined there on a normal day, though its yield was only slightly better than that found in the wilderness.
Still, it had beco a coveted spot among many players.
But the real Luotie Mountain Mine, no one dared to enter.
At that mont, they arrived at the entrance of the main mine.
The rugged terrain and the pitch-black cavern entrance, from which strange winds could be heard, unnervingly stirred their emotions.
Several people had already gathered near the mine, clearing out the minor monsters—Stone Spirits.
These were Earth Elent spirits, thick-skinned and highly defensive, requiring heavy weapons to deal effective damage.
They were annoying to kill but because they occasionally dropped gems, they were favored by players wielding axes and hamrs.
Xiao Jie even saw Dongfang Sheng, fiercely smashing a Stone Spirit with his Ghost General Iron Spear.
Boom!
The Stone Spirit was shattered into pieces.
“Haha, it dropped a piece of jade!
Scored—oh, Feng, you’re here too, and Ye Luo as well,” Dongfang Sheng exclaid.
Xiao Jie glanced at the others around him, all of whom were core mbers, and it was evident they were already familiar with fighting these creatures.
“You’ve joined the core mbers too?”
“Not yet, I’m still being evaluated.
You don’t mind, do you, Feng?”
“Eh?
Why would I mind?”
“That’s good to hear.”
As players kept arriving, the few Stone Spirits quickly were defeated.
Everyone gathered at the cave entrance, looking inside, each of them a mix of excitent and nervousness, anticipation mingled with anxiety.
