Chapter 141: Xingzi Mine
War horses galloped in the wilderness.

The undead man who was trying to climb to the top of a hill with his butt sticking up suddenly heard a noise behind him and fell down in fright.

In the distance, a cavalry group broke through the frozen ground and rushed towards them.

"Faction boss?"

It's not that he is mentally sensitive, but after the 1.03 version update, the faction BOSS that was said to appear has not shown up yet, and now encountering such a huge commotion in the wild, it is hard for people not to associate it with the above.

"Damn, you scared me, it turns out to be the lord."

The undead man got up and raised his hand to greet the cavalry team as they approached: "Good morning, Lord~"

The cavalry did not stop, but the burly figure in golden armor at the front heard his voice, turned around and nodded to him in response.

The deafening sound of horse hooves faded away, and the undead man stopped sighing, turned around and continued climbing. Today he had to climb to the highest point of the hill and then jump down!

There's no reason, I just want to play it this way.

It would take an ordinary person several days to walk from the Trident Junction to the Crossroads of Faith, and another few days to get to the mines. However, after Lind rode on the Calamity Steed, traveling was no longer a waste of time.

Rush all the way to the Crossroads of Faith, then follow the path north.

The nearby disasters have been almost cleared by the undead. 180 undead are intensively hunting the surrounding disasters. When the disasters encounter the fourth disaster, they really meet their nemesis.

The small wall made of piled rocks was leaking air everywhere.

Patrolling figures can be seen everywhere.

At the mine entrance, when Lind and others arrived, they immediately attracted the attention of the mine forces.

The pendulum clock was pulled by the rope and swung, sounding an alarm. A large number of miners rushed out of the mine. They were dressed thinly but had strong bodies. They surrounded Lind and others in a semicircle.

The leader was a shirtless man, about the same size as Lind but with arms that looked a full circle larger than Lind's.

He was holding a pickaxe in his hand and exuded an aura of superiority.

The disaster warhorse snorted uneasily, and its twisted and bloated hooves stomped on the ground, digging small holes.

Lindra pulled at the chain, his eyes fixed on the man.

In such a large area of ​​land, Linde had only seen a few people in high positions, and after counting with his fingers, there were less than ten.

In the eyes of the undead, the so-called higher levels are only at level 21-30, which can only be regarded as early and mid-stage enemies.

"My people have been here before," Lind emphasized, "Seaport Village belongs to my territory."

"Ge Nan!" The leading miner patted his chest, "Foreman of the miners in Xingzi Mine!"

His voice was rough, perhaps due to living in mines for many years. There was an "echo" in his chest, and his voice was muffled and vibrating, like a pickaxe hitting his ears again and again.

"My Lord, we don't want to get involved with any forces!"

"Has anyone come to see you?" Lind had previously guessed that it had something to do with the mayor of Haigang Village, but now it seems that it is not so "official", which is good news.

At present, except for the village chief of the novice village who is inexplicably upright, the brains of most people are normal.

"Leon Territory?" Lind observed Genan's expression, "We can provide a large amount of food in exchange."

The hand of Leon Lord must not have been able to reach here. Although Lind was not clear about the development speed and direction of Leon Lord, he was very clear about one thing: the cause of everything must be related to the internal beta test of the undead last year.

That day was the starting point of everything.

Seeing that Genan had a stern face and the surrounding miners had no intention of backing down, Lind said, "I hope that when you hear the news that Leon Territory has been breached, you will consider cooperating with us again."

The Disaster Horse turned around and carried Linde away. "Go back!" Genan turned around and shouted, "Keep working, keep working!"

"Ah!" The miners burst into enthusiasm and shouted at the top of their lungs.

The mine was busy, the temperature surprisingly mild compared to the bone-chilling cold outside, the miners returned to their positions to dig, pickaxes pounding against the rock walls.

Ge Nan spat into his palm, rubbed his hands, picked up the pickaxe and continued hammering.

The more you hit, the stronger your strength becomes, and the more fierce your momentum becomes.

After a long while, Ge Nan dropped his pickaxe and walked deeper into the mine.

The surface mine tunnels were lit by torches, but the light became less and less as one went deeper, until there was almost no light at all, and one could only grope forward.

Ge Nan muttered a few words.

"The fire will obscure the brightness of the stars," a hoarse voice came from the darkness.

"Thank you!" Genan turned his head towards the direction where the voice came from: "The lord who destroyed the Harbor Village is here."

"We don't get involved in any fights. We only belong to the world of stars." Sheik said in the darkness, "We stay here to protect the stars as they sleep."

"That's you. I'm just a miner foreman." Ge Nan didn't like the other person's speaking style: "I don't think about anything every day. I just keep mining!"

Ge Nan turned around and felt around the rock wall. "When will we be allowed to dig this area? What a waste, just leaving it like this."

"Don't disturb the star's sleep."

"Okay, you have the final say," Ge Nan said indifferently, and then reminded: "The man who came today is not simple. He is a little weaker than me, but I haven't seen anyone as strong as me for a long time. He also tamed the batch of disaster horses outside. You also know that we need food. If we are not full, we will not have the strength to mine."

Sheik's voice came faintly: "Only cooperate with the winners. This is the wisdom of survival."

……

"Should we just charge in?"

Lind, who had left the mine's sphere of influence, was still thinking. The other party obviously wanted to remain neutral and not help either side.

The miners' leader, Ge Nan, should be quite strong, but he is just a little bit stronger physically.

Up to now, Lind has never seen anyone who is stronger than himself at the same level, but the opponent is only strong physically. Among Lind's many abilities, physical strength is just his most inconspicuous feature.

A group of strong men were mining like crazy, it was very strange.

The ore output needs to be transformed into armor, tools, weapons, etc. by a blacksmith, but he has observed the forces in the mines. There are no furnaces and no blacksmiths. A large amount of mined ore is piled up into small hills and guarded by a group of people, just like ordinary stones piled aside.

This shows that their purpose is mining, not ore.

"Forget it, let's deal with Leon first."

Since the other party expressed his neutrality, Lind was happy to have less trouble. However, he felt a little troubled because the other party would not sell the ore in a short period of time.

There are not enough ore reserves.

The competition for resources is one of the main reasons for the war. Whether it is for the struggle between the new and old nobles or for development, the struggle with the Lord of Leon is imminent.

“Leon, what strength level?”

He guessed that the other party should at least be a hero, maybe even more powerful than a hero, otherwise how could he be the lord of the main city.
