Chapter 76: Dusty ancient mine

"How many soldiers are here?"

"How strong is the lord?"

The man nodded and asked eagerly.

His eyes were always looking at Zong Shen's territory. In his eyes, this was not just territory, but a treasure and a pearl!

And he will be the new owner of this treasure and pearl.

"There are no less than twenty professional warriors in this territory."

"The lord is also very strong and can easily kill the prairie bull without any damage."

The masked woman known as Katarina spoke truthfully.

This time, the man frowned.

"It's a little tricky..."

"However, there will always be times when he is alone."

"Katerina, I order you to monitor this territory closely. Tonight I will take Viper, Migello, and Soliz to deal with another lord."

"After we're done, we'll meet you."

"Tomorrow's noon will be the end of the novice protection period, which is when we take action."

"Kill him, this is our new territory, our new home..."

The man said sinisterly, without concealing his purpose in his words.

"Yes, Lord Lord, I will definitely monitor this territory."

The black-armored man took a deep look at Catalina, then stretched out his hand to gently touch the ups and downs of her body.

Then he chuckled, turned his horse around and left here.

He left towards the west side of the pasture.

In place, Catalina remained expressionless and hid quietly.

…

On the other side, Zong Shen and the others crossed the bone burial ground after trekking for more than 40 minutes and continued to advance northeast.

Everyone passed through the ruins of a city wall.

This is where a wall once stood in the giant elven city of Azshara.

Just looking at the dilapidated ruins, one can imagine how huge, towering, and generous Azshara's city walls were back then.

The width of the ruins of the city wall is more than thirty meters, which can accommodate the stationing of giant city defense equipment, and can also allow 8 to 9 standard carriages to pass side by side.

Go through the ruins of this city wall.

Everyone kept moving forward until they came to a mountain wall.

There is no road into the mountain here.

The hill in front of me is as steep as a vertical wall.

There are also some ruins.

At the bottom of the cliff, there is a very obvious mine that gradually extends downward.

The mouth of the mine is supported by thick magic-patterned steel beams.

These steel beams are covered with strange runes, which ensures that they will not decay after a long time.

The entire entrance is very large, a square entrance with a height and width of more than ten meters.

You can see mining tracks extending from the inside, all of which are decayed and damaged.

Because of the obstruction of the cliff and the fact that the mine faces north and south, the entire entrance is completely dark.

Outside, you can also see the remains of some mine carts and the remains of ancient mines.

Various vegetation grows on the ruins, giving it a strange sense of beauty reborn after a disaster.

Everyone stopped outside the ruins.

Colby came to Zong Shen and asked for instructions.

"Sir, this is it."

Zong Shen nodded, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the entrance of the mine not far away.

[Dusty ancient mine]

[This was once one of the most productive mines in Azshara, and the mines have formed complex underground passages under Azshara]

(This mine is rich in iron, copper, mithril, fine gold and other mineral materials. It is also rumored that it was once one of the secret strongholds of the Elf Resistance Army)

(However, during these long years, this mine has long been occupied by some terrible monsters and sleeping undead)

"It's a bit famous. This mine seems to still have mining value, but the prerequisite is that the entire mine needs to be completely cleaned."

"If we can occupy this mine, we can directly own a ready-made mine point."

Zong Shen thought secretly in his heart.

From the clearing where they were to the mine were all undulating ruins.

In the gaps between the ruins, vines and thorns grew.

Horses are not suitable for trekking on such undulating ruins. Their hooves can easily get stuck in the cracks of the ruins, and they are not as flexible as giant wolves.

Zong Shen took the lead and dismounted, and the others followed suit and tied their horses to the grass next to the ruins.

With seven wolf cavalry leading the way, everyone stepped onto the ruins and gradually approached the entrance of the mine.

"Sir, please be careful, we will soon be approaching the territory of the blood-toothed wild boar."

"The last time I came to explore, I was attacked by a blood-tusked boar near the entrance of the mine."

When he was still about a hundred meters away from the mine, Colby stopped moving forward and turned around with caution.

Due to the terrain, the sunlight cannot come in directly, so it looks a bit dark, like the dull darkness when a heavy rain is approaching.

Zong Shen nodded, indicating that he knew what he was doing, and waved his hand to summon Favid.

"Favid, shoot a small fire ball at the mine to explore the way, and everyone else is ready."

Favid received the instruction, nodded obediently, raised his staff high, and began to chant magic.

Aisia stood quietly behind Zong Shen. Madeline found a broken wall on the ruins and used it as a shelter.

"call out!"

The magic chant was quickly completed.

A fireball shot into the mine with an orange-red tail flame.

The fireball's light illuminated the entrance to the dark mine, and then it hit the stone wall of the mine hard, sparks flying and gravel flying everywhere.

The impact of the fireball echoed in the mine, and then came out faintly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone discovered that there were a large number of pale bones piled up inside the mine.

Obviously, the entrance to this mine has been completely occupied by some monster.

As a mine near the ancient elf city Azshara, after countless years of collection, the mine tunnels below must have formed a large-scale underground network under the ruins.

There is more than one entrance.

At this time, two wheezing sounds like steam whistles came from the mine.

The next moment, a huge black shadow slowly moved out, causing some light and shadow changes to appear in the dark mine.

The black figure walked out of the mine, allowing everyone to see its full picture.

This is a giant wild boar with a body length of more than five meters, with a pair of sharp and curved blood-red tusks that are one meter in length.

The mane all over the body is also red, like the earth covered by magma.

It stared with copper bell-like eyes.

He looked at the uninvited guests in front of him quite intelligently.

Along with the breathing, the two nostrils continuously exhaled heavy breath.

However, this big guy did not attack rashly.

Facing the human sea tactics, it actually showed a cautious expression.

This is a sign of wisdom triumphing over ferocity.
