Chapter 702: Underground Mine

After hiding the tent with magic, Ryan and Baru waved goodbye and went to their destinations. This place is a mining-based town built around the mines in the canyon, so the gap in the announcement of the whole town is very large. The mine where Ryan and the others were going to collect flying stones was at the bottom of the canyon.

This drop is really too high. Hermione sighed after standing on the mountain and looking at the deep canyon, I really don't know how those people in the past could endure such a situation where they could only see the sun for one or two hours a day. live?

Don't forget, the mine pit below was left over from mining flying stone ore 700 years ago. Ryan pointed to the dirt road opened on the edge of the cliff and the railroad tracks on the bridge built with wood, I think people at that time There are enough flying stones to easily go up and down the cliff, instead of going up and down through crude railways or dirt roads.

You're right. Hermione said after carefully observing the roads and the wreckage of buildings in the valley. Look at the buildings at the bottom. They should have been left over from people using the original facilities in the mine to mine various minerals that were not mined when flying stones were mined. But after the associated mines were mined, People naturally abandoned these mines and buildings. And those buildings that are in use now are all on the mountainside and above in the canyon.

Then how do we go down? asked the rose crystal hidden in Ryan's backpack, We can only go down to the halfway up the mountain along the road, and there is no way to go down. How are you going to get down to the bottom mine? where?.

Of course it's flying down. The cornflower household broom I bought specially can carry the three of us down together. And flying slower should not be a troublesome problem now. Ryan said, and then from He took out a flying broom from his space pocket.

Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. Hermione looked a little embarrassed and said to Ryan. I have also learned your magic of using magic energy to form wings to fly, and I can fly down by myself.

Sounds good. Ryan said a little strangely. But why do I seldom see you practice flying? Just like swimming, flying is not a matter of simply mastering theoretical knowledge to successfully fly. You also need to do some practice.

I practiced. Hermione refuted Ryan's statement. It's just that I haven't practiced in front of you. In order to practice, I went to Teacher Luo Zhen to learn how to use wings to fly from Mercury Lamp.

It wasn't until the two of them stood on the edge of the cliff and stretched out their wings that Ryan knew why Hermione avoided him to practice flying. After mobilizing the energy in her body, two balls of blood emerged from Hermione's back. The blood seemed to be alive and slowly stretched out around her back, just like trees growing continuously, and finally formed a pair of red blood. skeletal wings.

After the pair of wings were fully stretched out, they flapped lightly. As the wings flapped, cloud after cloud of black mist emerged from the blood-colored skeleton and began to spread along the skeleton, just like the skin of a dragon's wing. Completely fills in the gaps in the skeleton. After fluttering her wings a little, Hermione's feet lifted off the ground and flew up.

Ryan now understood why Hermione was unwilling to practice flying in front of him, because the pair of wings were full of evil and dark power no matter how they looked. Especially for women who love beauty, the shape of the black and red wings is really bad.

These wings look pretty cool. As a person who has experienced the cultural baptism of the 21st century in his previous life, Ryan doesn't think there is anything ugly about these wings, but instead feels that they have a special sense of beauty.

Really? That's great. Hermione felt Ryan's praise from the heart through the soul connection between the two,

The whole person suddenly became much happier. Let's go now. If we move fast, we might be able to go back for lunch.

After speaking, Hermione came to the edge of the cliff and cast the Disillusionment Curse on herself, then spread her wings and swooped down. Ryan and Rose Crystal also cast the invisibility spell on their bodies and glide down from the cliff following Hermione.

The mine was at the bottom of the canyon, and it took the three of them some time to fly into the mine. This mine is a tiankeng, the entrance is not very big, but it is very deep. After they descended to the bottom of the pit, there was almost no light around them, and they could only vaguely look at the piece of sky above their heads that was now the size of a ping pong ball.

It feels like the underground level when we were in the first grade. It is also in a deep place underground. After stepping on the ground, Hermione folded her wings and looked at the small piece of light above her head and said with emotion, Unconsciously In, so much time has passed.

Yeah, it seems like everything just happened yesterday. Ryan retracted his wings and sighed with emotion. Fortunately, the two of them have good dark vision after strengthening their bodies many times, at least at a distance of twenty or thirty meters It can still be seen clearly.

According to previous adventure experience, it is best not to light up lights in such dark and unknown places, otherwise it is easy to become the target of enemies hidden in the dark. So in the darkness, the four set off.

After descending to the bottom of the mine, Jill came over from Rose Crystal's body and volunteered to go to the front to explore the way. According to her, she is more suitable to act here as a heroic spirit in such a complicated environment. At the same time, she can Even if she is incorporeal at any time, she is more likely to survive a surprise attack.

After walking for a while, Ryan found that the surrounding area was full of traces of human activities. For example, the traces excavated by various metal tools on the stone wall, and some wooden support columns that have begun to decay. There are even metal tracks that have been covered in thick dust on the ground.

Which direction are we going now? Hermione said, holding the wand and looking a little confused, because the mines in this area extend in all directions, some were left by the earliest digging flights, and more of them were people digging other minerals in the later period left over from time to time. Because of the enrichment of minerals here, people have dug in this direction for hundreds of years, and now a cave system like a complex spider web has been left underground.

So Hermione stopped when she came to the bifurcated road with exits up, down, left, and right in front of her, and she didn't know which direction to go next.

I have a way. Ryan said as he took out a palm-sized golden compass and tapped it with his wand, and soon the pointer in the center of the gold plate pointed to a tunnel entrance.

Let's go this way. Ryan pointed to a tunnel to the left. I asked Baru yesterday, and he told me that apart from the flying stones, there are only various metal ores produced in this place, and those ordinary metal ores will not have a powerful magic reaction. Therefore, we only need to pass this compass Just find the place with the strongest magic response in this area.

Guided by the compass, the four of them arrived at an open space by an underground river in just two hours. But they found that they were not the first to come here, because there was a kerosene lamp light in the open space, and a not tall figure seemed to be packing something beside the light.

In this underground silent space, the sound of footsteps can be heard far, far away. So when Ryan and the others walked fifty or sixty meters away from the figure, they saw the man standing up and asking. Who's there?

Relax, sir. From a distance, Ryan saw that the man in front of him had a beard thicker than that of Principal Dumbledore, but he looked much shorter, giving the impression that he was a dwarf. We are just tourists from afar, and we came here to visit the mine where flying stones were mined back then.
