10 mines

  After taking down the Sword Toothed Tiger, Su Weiwei's gaze suddenly stopped on Xia Ming and his two companions. Her gaze lingered longest on Tang Ge, then after a brief moment, she spoke up: "Cang Yan Academy first year student, fifth rank Battle Master Tang Ge?"

  It seems to be an inquiry, yet full of a sense of certainty, the voice is crisp and ethereal, like the collision of clear springs, cold and refreshing, with a strange magical power.

  This inquiry suddenly excited Tang Ge, who had a look of being honored and surprised. He showed off his muscles while loudly saying: "Miss ViVi actually knows me? I am indeed Tang Ge, a first-year fifth-level warrior at Cangyan Academy, a person who is loyal, honest, hardworking, and has not yet had a girlfriend..."

  Tang Ge's non-stop chatter left Xia Ming speechless for a moment, while Sherlock patted his forehead and blushed, drawing a clear line with Tang Ge, indicating that he didn't know this live treasure.

  "Miss Su Weiwei." Xia Ming ignored Tang Ge's antics and made a standard knightly gesture towards Su Weiwei, saying: "I'm sorry to bother you, but this time the three of us have taken on a quest from the Adventurer's Guild, and our target is indeed the Sword-Toothed Tiger. If Miss Su Weiwei doesn't need the Sword-Toothed Tiger's sword-like fangs, would it be possible for her to sell them to us?"

  Xia Ming felt a bit depressed, the cooked duck had flown away, in order to complete his mission, he could only ask the knight girl in front of him.

  "Alright." Su Weiwei's reply was brief and to the point, a cold glint flashing in her eyes as she chopped down Sword Tooth Tiger's sword with a single swing, casually tossing it to Xia Ming.

  Xia Ming had just received the sword teeth and was about to pay the gold coins, but Su Weiwei shook her head, indicating that she didn't need any payment.

  "Miss Weiwei is indeed broad-minded, a true knightly model, our role model......" Tang Ge, this guy who can't move when he sees a beauty, came up again to flirt, giving Xia Ming an urge to slap him to death.

  Although the Sword Toothed Tiger was ruthlessly slaughtered by Su Weiwei, Xia Ming and the other two also obtained the completion item of this adventure quest - the Sword Tooth of the Sword Toothed Tiger. Although it's a bit unfulfilling to get it so easily, what's done is done.

  "Let's go back." Sherlock suggested, also feeling a bit dispirited.

  Xia Minggang intended to take a step back, but he hesitated for a moment. He felt a strange magical fluctuation coming from the cave.

  At the same time, Su Weiwei also slightly frowned and her bright eyes sparkled.

  "This cave..." Xiaoming and Su Weiwei both discovered the abnormality in each other, exchanging a glance, and both searched for an unusual meaning in each other's eyes.

  Tang Ge looked at the mysterious duo and said with a big smile: "What's wrong, is there something wrong with this cave?"

  Xia Ming remained silent, his magical talent was astonishing, and his spiritual power was also exceptionally sharp. Just now he suddenly felt that there was a wave of magic fluctuations in this cave, indicating that there must be something else existing in this cave!

  Su Weiwei was also a very perceptive person, and for some reason, she too had discovered the anomaly deep within the cave. The two of them exchanged a rather tacit glance.

  "There's some unusual magical fluctuations deep within the cave, it's possible that there are other good things inside." Su Weiwei naturally wouldn't explain on her own initiative, Xia Ming shrugged and said.

  As soon as Xiaoming said that, Sherlock and Tongge's eyes widened in anticipation. Tongge rubbed his hands together, grinning: "What are we waiting for? Come on, let's go take a look!"

  Tang Ge walked ahead, Sherlock followed closely behind, Xia Ming followed next, and as for Su Weiwei, she hesitated for a moment before catching up.

  The cave was pitch black, but the scorching heat became even more intense, and the entire cave and labyrinth were almost identical, winding and twisting along the way. The four walls of the cave were bare stone, with a layer of water stains on top, adding to the eerie atmosphere.

  Even Xia Ming and Sherlock Holmes, who used the Illumination Technique, could only barely see the general outline of things within ten meters. Beyond that, it was impossible to make out anything clearly.

  It's like an anthill here, with paths leading in all directions. There are many entrances, each forming a separate branch, leaving several people dizzy and unsure which entrance to take.

  However, Xia Ming was staring at the rock veins in the cave and seemed to be in a daze. After a while, he said in a low voice, "It seems that this cave is indeed not ordinary, and there may be rare magical mineral materials inside."

  "Really? How did you know?"

  "Rare minerals? What kind of minerals, are they Star Iron, Jade Crystal, or Eternal Meteorite, those legendary minerals?" Tang Ge didn't wonder like Sherlock why Xia Ming knew there were minerals here, but instead started fantasizing that the cave was filled with rare minerals, and as he thought about it, his mouth began to water.

  Xia Ming smiled, after all, through the inheritance of "Eternal Book", his understanding of magical materials and minerals can be said to be at a master level, and he also had an extraordinary understanding of the special properties of these minerals.

  The distribution of rocks and rock veins here undoubtedly indicate that there are magical mineral materials in this cave.

  Su Weiwei's beautiful eyes were also staring at Xia Ming, as if expecting Xia Ming's next words.

  Xia Ming carefully observed the veins of those rocks, and along these rock veins, Xia Ming actually detected a faint metallic luster. This luster was extremely difficult to detect and was initially overlooked.

  "Come this way!"

  Xia Ming made a decisive decision and walked to the front.

  Tang Ge and the others were stunned, not expecting this kid to be so confident, just like a master of minerals. Unconsciously, they thought to themselves: "This kid is really mysterious, with third-level magic, but his magical skills are incredibly strong, and he's also proficient in mining... what's his background?"

  Su Wei's gaze at Xia Ming also carried a hint of inquiry, a magician transformed into a mining master, anyone would be amazed.

  Xia Ming walked at the front and entered one of the caves.

  He was indeed correct, the closer they got to the entrance of the cave, the faint light became more and more apparent. Until finally, not only Su Weiwei, but also Tang Ge and Xia Ming discovered something unusual.

  At the end of the cave, a faint yellowish light was shining in the cave, soft and transparent. Xiaoming saw at a glance that this was the unique glow of the Earth Essence Gold. The Earth Essence Gold is a constant metal, just a piece the size of an egg can enhance the defensive power and anti-magic properties of armor or weapons, and it's very effective.

  The amount of terrestrial essence gold contained in this vein is still quite rich, and Xia Ming roughly calculated that it should be possible to extract enough terrestrial essence gold from this vein to forge five sets of armor.

  "This is a terrestrial spirit gold." Su Weiwei was also knowledgeable and experienced, with a hint of surprise in her bright eyes.

  The earth is rich in gold!

  Tang Ge and Sherlock had both heard of the name "Dadi Jingjin", although it wasn't some kind of extremely rare mineral material, but it was still considered precious. A palm-sized piece of Dadi Jingjin could sell for tens of thousands of gold coins!

  And it's not just about the gold coins, if he could wear a set of equipment forged from the finest golden ore... Tang Er started to drool again.

  For warriors and knights, the demand for earth essence gold is obviously far beyond that of mages. Having a suit of armor or a weapon forged from earth essence gold is simply the dream of all warriors.

  Xia Ming calmly observed the ore vein, and the terrestrial essence gold was definitely there. However, according to the records in the "Eternal Book", it is highly likely that accompanying gemstones exist around the terrestrial essence gold ore vein, which is the most precious part of the terrestrial essence gold ore vein!

  If we really can find rare associated gems, especially rare magical gems...

  Thinking of this, even with Xia Ming's calm and peaceful mind, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
