Fang Zhu threw the torn pages of paper into the bonfire, watching the handwriting on the paper curled and turned yellow, and finally carbonized, turning into scattered star embers. The wind in the valley whimpered, and the flames reflected in the snow in front of the tent were golden red.

With the uncertain light of light and darkness, he held the remaining pages of paper in his hand and continued to read the text behind.

This is a log that Tianlan took out from the camp. It was probably a callee who left it in a tent and had not had time to take it back, but he had already died at the hands of the constructed creatures outside.

This sounds unlucky, but it just makes them convenient.

The first half of the log records some boring content that they set out from the camp forward. But starting from this page, something that Fang Zhu is interested in appears.

On May 13, they recorded that they had some discoveries in the valley:

‘Fourth day, sunny

The wind outside was a little weaker, so we were going to the crack to check the situation. The alchemists in the team had confirmed that the glowing stones they picked up from the valley the day before contained elemental crystals and were of high purity.

The valley is north of the vent, and can be reached by walking down the slope for two or three kilometers. Because we didn't go deeper the last time, we have reason to suspect that there might be something more valuable in the cave.'

‘On the fifteenth day, the weather outside is unclear

Let me introduce our team. There are three people in our group, me, Qiao Sen and a young man nicknamed Big Head.

Qiao Sen is the magician in the team and an indigenous person. Apart from being a little bit treacherous, we have a good relationship.

‘On the 17th day, I still don’t know what’s going on outside

We went deeper into the crack for two days, and the space below was larger than we thought.

Today, we encountered a large fault and everyone decided to stop and trim it.’

‘Twenty days,

We advanced several thousand meters along the direction of the fault, and it was very deep below.

The bad news today is that we lost a squad, a four-man team, whose ropes broke and fell into the cracks together.

They may withdraw from this adventure, but even at the nearest resurrection site, it will take at least a week to return to the advance camp, hoping they will be lucky.’

‘Twenty-one,

We continued to move forward for a few thousand meters.’

‘Twenty-three days,

The previous method encountered a dilemma, and a cliff without any focus blocked us.

We had to go back the road and find another way. This time it was better, and we went a little further.'

The remaining text was left three days later. They once again encountered a dead end and the food they had reserved was about to be sold out, so they had to return without success.

Below are some complaints, probably complaining about the weather and other people and so on.

They returned to the camp, and the crystals they had harvested before were sold for a good price, which greatly encouraged them. Not long after, the team set out again.

They went deep into the ground three times in total, and found the correct way to get under the crack the last time.

This time, they discovered the treasure under the crack:

‘The crystals that are covered with orange-yellow dim lights are spread across the cave along the dark long rock band. Even if Qiao Sen doesn’t say it, we understand that we may have been in the great fortune.’

When the log arrived here, his excited tone was overwhelming. Fang Yu could completely imagine the excitement of these people.

However, the rule of Kaurin-Ishurien is that all minerals in the kingdom belong to the king. If they are found in the noble territory, then in addition to taxation, the king will also enjoy 30% of the income.

Nognes does not have a noble fief, so the minerals found here are property belonging to the royal family, and the discoverer can receive a large reward.

If the discoverer is willing to buy the ten-year ownership of the discovered mineral deposit, the king will still enjoy 30% of the income except for taxes, and the rest will be attributed to the owner of the mineral deposit.

But before he came, he had checked the information on the community. In the past six months, there was no information on the discovery of a new mine in the country.

Where did the Art Controversy Guild and the Lizards get these earth source crystals? This is very interesting.

He found the answer in the record of July 11:

“On the 11th, it was very snowy and snowy

The leader suppressed the news of the discovery of the ore vein. We were just an adventure group. If it could not afford the ownership of such a deposit, it was just a reward from the discoverer.

But it is obviously not realistic to mine it, but the group leader thought of a solution. He had already contacted several nearby guilds. They had someone to use and had channels to transport the things out.

To ensure safety, we also found a lizard man so that all of us can share the output in this ore vein.”

The subsequent information became boring again, roughly the daily output information of the mining area and some accounting.

Perhaps this log would cause a sensation if it flowed out, but it might not be anything to the candidates who were not afraid of the world.

At worst, the mining area was taken back, but before that they had already made a lot of money.

It is difficult for the Kaolin royal family to find these lawless people to hold them accountable. At worst, they can transform into the Kowloon Sea to be pirates, or hide in places like Shengxiu'an.

As for those guilds involved, everything is easy to say as long as the Super Athletics League doesn't cause trouble for them.

Fang Yu continued to flip down until a month later, and found the content he was interested in.

The log records what happened on August 3rd:

‘We encountered some trouble while continuing to explore the lower mines. Some strange constructed creatures drilled out from under the rock formation and many people died.’

This is the first time these constructed creatures have appeared on the record.

And then they are more and more traces.

In the owner of the log, the name of these constructed creatures is "Crystal Beast". Their biggest feature is that they are not just a living crystal, but have a precise structure inside, just like artificial products.

But there is no evidence that they are artificial, and that they have a tight social structure, and larger crystal beasts dominate those small groups.

The description of the large crystal beast in the log should be the big crab outside. It has never been seen by a small individual square leopard, but it should be in the form of humanoid in the log record.

In addition, there are larger Jingxie beasts in the record, and the owner of the log even suspected that these Jingxie beasts should have a head.

Because the Jingxi Beast soon swarmed out from the depths of the ground under its command and began to attack the entire mining area.

That day was obviously a turning point in all this. Since that day, the mining area has been getting worse and worse, and the Jingxi beasts have started to eat up from the bottom layer and eroded upwards until they reach the surface.

After the team where the log owner found that it could not control the situation, they had to turn to seek help from outside.

This is what happened this week. In order to protect their own interests, the guilds that cooperated with them also sent teams to support them.

In the letter of distress they intercepted before, the man named Burkeso was the leader of the people who came to support one of the guilds. However, their luck was obviously not very good. Not long after, Jingxizun attacked the camp.

After reading the last word, Fang Zhu threw the last page of paper into the fire and burned it to ashes.

Now there are several questions before them:

First, there are indeed earth source crystals in the place that Beiji mentioned, and there are quite a few. But now there are constituent creatures called crystal beasts. Because they are not clear about the level of the candidates in this camp, they are not sure about the origin, habits and dangers of these creatures.

The Big Cat Man once said that the generation of the earth source crystal below may be related to the magic power drawn in the entire area of ​​Nognes. Therefore, although he could not figure out the origin of the Jingxi Beast, he had to doubt whether there were believers of the Dark Saints behind this.

Second, the only good news is that their previous callers built a reliable path under the crack so that they would not look for the path themselves without looking for it in a dark way.

But it is not certain whether the Jingxi Beasts have destroyed those paths. According to the description in the log, they are not impossible to have this awareness.

Third, the log mentioned that before the camp was attacked, the guild teams who arrived to support had sent several advance teams into the mine. Although it is not ruled out that these people have died, they may still be left under the mine.

Judging from the date when the logs were cut, these people who died in the camp should have been attacked before the day of the day. Even if they were resurrected in the camp, it would be a week at the latest to arrive here.

In other words, they only have three or four days at most.

Among these people, most of the guilds behind the guild have participated in the pursuit of the Qihai Brigade. Although under the current circumstances, these people may not take the initiative, they will definitely not let them go easily afterwards.

In comparison, those who may be left in the mine are just a small trouble. If they are still alive under the mine at the moment, they will definitely be in a panic. I wish someone could take advantage of them. Even if they recognize the people from the Qihai Brigade, they would not dare to cause trouble for them easily.

Moreover, the Qihai Brigade only needs some soil source crystals, and it is impossible to empty the mine area. There is no fundamental conflict of interests between the two.

After Fang Yu finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at the people by the bonfire.

After listening to his analysis, everyone also performed differently.

The walnuts underground naturally had no say, and the titanium peas and dates were even a little worried. Several guild people were destroyed in this place, which made them feel a great sense of crisis. They always felt that the snow was full of dangers, and the indescribable monster might be hidden behind a certain snowflake.

Those monsters will appear at any time and swallow them up to the point where they are not even left.

The walnuts underground are slightly better. After all, I have seen Fang Zhu and the others fighting, and I have a little confidence in the Qihai Brigade.

Beiji remained silent, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking.

The performance of the Qihai Brigade was much better. Only Tianlan lowered his little head and held the steaming cup in both hands, pecking at the warm milk in the cup one by one, leaving a faint milk mark on his lips.

Fang Rong looked at her appearance and didn't know that this little girl was guilty. Although she had been with the team the earliest, she had experienced the least battle, so she would inevitably feel a little nervous.

As for Jita, he had trained his courage in the Blood Thistle Woodland. At most, he would be a little worried about unknown situations, but he would never be afraid or afraid.

Parker was heartless and had already fallen asleep.

The big cat man wiped the bright big sword with a piece of cloth and replied only:

"If those things are powerful or not, you can tell if they are difficult to deal with. If they are not easy to deal with, we will find another way."

Indeed, this is the only way. Without knowing the strength of the enemy, Fang Yu couldn't boast about Haikou, saying that the people who were hanging here were rookies.

If Jingxi Beast is level 40 or not, wouldn’t he slap himself in the face?

"So what do people from other guilds do?"

"We don't have to control the people in the camp," replied Big Cat Man. "Three or four days are enough. We must meet with Qihai Traveler within a week. It is impossible to stay here for too long. As for people under the mine, let's talk about it if you meet it."
To be continued...
