The Great Demon King

Chaoter 68 "Black iron ores bestowed from the gods "

It was narrower inside the mining cave than Han Shuo had thought. The dwarves were shorter in height and could walk easily, but Han Shuo felt a little uncomfortable. Even with the light from the oil lamps along the way, it was still rather gloomy inside the cave.

After a few minutes of walking, Han Shuo had to start bending his body. The further they walk, the dancer and the more humid it is. Fragments of broken stones could be found all over the ground, and when Han Shuo discovered that it became difficult to advance even when hunchbacked, that was when the three dwarves finally stopped.

The dwarves in front held shovels and metal hammers in their hands, exerting themselves as best they could as they mined. The sound of knocking was heard continuously. When they discovered that Han Shuo had entered, they all subconsciously stopped their movements and sized up Han Shuo with suspicious gazes.

“The cave will become wider as we pass through this narrow intersection. Although there were more iron and copper cores inside, the rocks came down from above as we transported the ores. There was a collapse a few days ago, and we spent a lot of effort to reopen the path. ”Bennett leaned somewhat tiredly against the hard stone wall as she looked at Han Shuo as she explained.

Nodding, Han Shuo said, “Alright, make room for me. I will summon the skeletal soldiers and ask them to go inside to mine the ore. ”

In accordance with Han Shuo's instructions, the dwarves came out of the area, starting from the furthest one in the cave. When there were no more dwarves in the cave, Han Shuo began a necromancy magic spell. Seven skeletal warriors, in succession, appeared in the passageway, completely blocking it.

Han Shuo could only control the six skeletal warriors initially, but now that he was meditating using the round green ball, his mental strength had increased again and was now able to manipulate seven skeletal warriors simultaneously.

“Put the iron shovel and hammer on the ground. I'll order the skeletal warriors to use your tools and mine the ore inside. “After the seven skeletons appeared, Han Shuo looked and spoke to the dwarves who had retreated.

The dwarves hesitated after hearing Han Shuo's words, and then threw the mining tools in their hands one by one at Bennett's persuasion. Han Shuo manipulated the skeletal warriors, ordered them to expel the bone daggers from their hands, and took out the mining tools on the ground instead. Each of them arched their bodies and slowly went into the depths of the mining cave.

A “ghantu” was released and floated into the depths of the cave along with the skeletal warriors, according to Han Shuo's instructions. With the help of this ghost, Han Shuo could observe the surroundings around the ghost. With the ghost taking the lead, Han Shuo could observe the scene of the cave's depths as if he was there personally.

As the dwarves said, the skeletal warriors had to bend down and slowly enter through a very narrow entrance, after which the space became increasingly larger. Except, there is no light facility inside. Thus, Han Shuo was unable to clearly see all of his surroundings.

When “ghantu” and the skeletal warrior covered such a great distance, to the point where Han Shuo felt that he was no longer able to manipulate these dark creatures, he was unable to manipulate them, he issued a mission to start mining ore. According to the vision intermediary of “ghantu”, Han Shuo concentrated his concentration and manipulated the seven skeletal warriors to start knocking and hitting the ore around them.

A loud rumbling sound rang out, accompanying the movement of the soldier's skeleton. After a while, Han Shuo could clearly sense through “hantu” that due to the excavation of the skeletal warriors, the rocks at the top of the mining cave had already started to shift. Some large stones completely fell down after a while, directly destroying the skeletal warriors within the pile of bone fragments.

Focusing his concentration, Han Shuo closed his eyes and stood in front of the dwarves, carefully manipulating the skeletal warriors. He sent “ghantu” floating to the top of the cave and observed the loose stones very carefully. He would hastily send the skeletal warrior who dodged to the side whenever the stones fell.

After continuing like this for a while, the other skeletal warriors were instantly smashed to pieces by another huge boulder. Han Shuo's mental strength was severely depleted and he felt a surge of vertigo in his mind. He immediately understood that he had exhausted his mental strength and hastily ordered the five remaining skeletal warriors to stop mining the ore, take out the ore fragments they extracted, and start moving it backwards.

As the five skeletal warriors began to move the ores on the ground one by one into the narrow crack, the dwarves on Bennett's side cheered and began walking into the crack without waiting for Han Shuo's instructions. They took the ores from there and moved them safely to Han Shuo's side.

After this it lasts for a few minutes. Han Shuo felt that his mental strength could no longer sustain the actions of the skeletal warrior sustained and immediately and decisively chanted the spell again, send the remaining skeleton warriors and “ghantu” back to another dimension.

At this moment, the cave opening in front of Han Shuo was already filled with dozens of large and small ores. The dwarves cheered as they fell on each other to free the ore from the surrounding rocks, placing the ore into a bundle behind their backs.

The other dwarves picked up the ore very happily, laughing out loud as they took out the bag of wine they had always carried, happily pouring the beer down their throats, laughing out loud, emits a warm “gumpet” sound.

“Yeah, what is this, what is this?” A dwarf suddenly let out a loud scream, attracting the attention of all the other dwarves as they all surged into this dwarf.

Han Shuo was similarly shocked and glanced involuntarily at this dwarf, but he was already surrounded by other dwarves, completely blocking Han Shuo's vision. He speculated to himself, is there a problem?

Just as Han Shuo's rampant thoughts were of suspicion, Bennett suddenly lost her composure and laughed wildly, even throwing a beer bag into the air as she cut a caper. Overjoyed, shouts came out of his mouth, “Black iron. Shit, black iron. I'm sure this is black iron. Geez, there's black iron in it. The head will go crazy when he finds out about our findings! ”

The other dwarves also flushed completely after hearing Bennett's words as they also danced wildly, lifting their hammers to violently bang against the walls on all sides. The loud noise they raised somewhat frightened Han Shuo.

Han Shuo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Bennett's words, understanding that the dwarf must have obtained the incredible metal to be extremely crazy with excitement. He was happy inside too.

After a while, Han Shuo asked after the dwarves, who finally started to calm down, “Bennett, what kind of ore is this black iron? Is it worth it? ”

Bennett nodded repeatedly like a little girl pecking at rice, saying excitedly, “Of course, it is worth it. Valuable to the highest limit! The density and hardness of black iron is the highest among all ores, but its weight is the smallest among all metals. It also never rusts, and can change color by adding other materials. This is the highest material in making weapons, and a gift given to us from the gods! ”

Han Shuo was about to congratulate them when something suddenly flashed through his mind and a patch of memories flooded in. He suddenly realized that according to the properties of this black iron, black iron, according to Chu Cang Lan's memories, was actually precious the materials used to forge the magical treasures of – Mystical Metal.

“It's a shame that once there was only a small piece. It seemed like there was only enough to forge a small dagger. “After expressing his excitement, Bennett looked at the black iron in the dwarf's hand and said with a hint of regret.

“Bennett, don't be sad, there must be more black iron in it. Perhaps we will be able to mine a larger piece at a later time, that way we can forge the sharpest weapon! “Say Dwarf Benson.

“Dear friends, thank you very much for your help. We are willing to share our mining cave with you. Can you continue to help us? We are willing to share the mined ore. ”Bennett turned her passionate face towards Han Shuo and pleaded after hearing Benson's words.

“I'm so glad you trust Me, and I'm also quite willing to help you, but I'm too tired today and need a night's rest. I'll come back tomorrow and keep helping you mine, okay? “Han Shuo chuckled to himself and said humbly to Bennett.

“Of course, of course. We'll be here tomorrow morning with the village chief. I wish you could stop by again! “Bennett rushes to answer.

Nodding, Han Shuo smiled, “Then, see you tomorrow!”

Han Shuo did not leave with a piece of ore after saying this and walked in a natural and unrestrained manner to the mouth of the mining cave, leaving some very excited dwarves continuously taking in large quantities of beer.
