Chapter 143 - Mines
Chapter 143: Mines
“Damn, this mission to find the lost Cold Desolate Dragon City is really troublesome.”
Lorne killed all the creatures before him and followed the river.
He had been traveling through this region for a long time, but he had not encountered any fallen dragons.
Lorne was not discouraged. To him, the harder the mission, the greater the reward.
He was filled with anticipation regarding a main storyline mission like finding the Cold Desolate Dragon City. This was not only for the mission reward, but also for the ‘competition’.
Before he accepted this mission, the players of the Dark faction had already received the mission and had been doing it for a long time.
Lorne did not know the other party’s current progress. Perhaps the dragon, Walter, was not the only information point of the other party’s mission, so he was even more urgent.
It was also this sense of urgency that made Lorne very excited.
Although he had only rested for four hours yesterday, it did not affect his mental state.
Of course, there was another reason why he was so enthusiastic.
Ding!
“Congratulations on discovering an ordinary gem mine, the coordinates have been recorded for you!”
“Congratulations on discovering a rare sulfur mine, the coordinates have been recorded for you!”
Ding!
Ding!
As Lorne moved in the direction of the dragon, Walter, his [Treasure Seeking] skill brought him a lot of mineral information.
Mines in the game were very important strategic resource points.
Although the players could not develop it yet, as long as the players’ mining skills improved, these would become wealth.
This was like the discovery of new oil fields in the real world.
Every landmark was like a golden mountain.
It was also because of this information that Lorne was so excited.
Another thing worth mentioning was that his [Treasure Seeking] talent actually had a recording function.
The mineral veins he encountered on the way were all recorded on the skill list.
If he wanted to mine in the future, he only needed to follow the map.
…
Ding!
“Congratulations on leveling your Pet Small Artillery to Level 29!”
“Congratulations on leveling your Pet Small Artillery to Level 30!”
“Your Pet Small Artillery has awakened its skill—Shock Arrow!”
“….”
“Congratulations on leveling your pet, Little Spider, to Level 14!”
“….”
As he killed more and more monsters, the pets’ levels increased rapidly.
Since yesterday, he had been sweeping through the forest along the way. During this period, he had killed countless monsters and gained millions of experience points.
However, before leveling up Little Spider, he had to first raise the level of Small Artillery.
It could be seen that Small Artillery had reached Level 30.
Because its quality had reached Gold, the current attack power of Small Artillery had also increased to 3485 points.
This attack power was only half of Aisha’s.
However, compared to wild monsters, this attack power was definitely terrifying.
After all, so far, among all the bosses that Lorne had seen, other than the dragon, who had counted Walter, the attack power of the other bosses had not exceeded 3,000.
As for the skill that it had just awakened?
[Shock Arrow]
Effect: Deals 100% penetrative damage to the targets 40 yards ahead. There is a 50% chance of stunning each target.
This skill had a very similar effect to the Piercing Arrow. It mainly penetrated targets.
But there was also a clear difference between them.
The damage of this skill was not that terrifying, but it had a crowd control effect.
In this case, it combined with the Piercing Arrow and could effectively clear out all targets in a diameter.
After leveling up Small Artillery, Lorne began to level up Little Spider.
This pet was a Silver Boss with very high leveling experience.
However, now that Lorne had the talent [Master of Experience], it was equivalent to reducing his EXP requirement by half. In this case, there was nothing to worry about.
According to Lorne’s current farming speed, he could kill 5 to 10 monsters in a minute. With double the experience, he could obtain at least 3,300 experience points.
He could obtain at least 200,000 experience points in an hour.
Perhaps this number could not compare to when he had hunted the Death Worms, but in normal circumstances, this speed was very terrifying.
Without thinking, he led his pets deeper into the forest.
…
Ding!
“Congratulations on discovering a rare medium-sized gem mine, the coordinates have been recorded for you!”
“Congratulations on discovering a rare small sulfur mine, the coordinates have been recorded for you!”
“Congratulations on discovering a rare large refined iron mine, the coordinates have been recorded for you!”
Ding!
Ding!
As Lorne gradually went deeper, the frequency of [Treasure Seeking] detecting ores became higher and higher. Moreover, these were all rare ores.
It could be seen that several rare mineral veins had appeared on Lorne’s interface since two hours ago, and most of them were medium-sized.
“Looks like we’re about to reach our destination.”
Lorne had a feeling that he was very close to the lost Cold Desolate Dragon City.
He opened the map.
According to the clues given by Dragon Commander Walter, the location of the Cold Desolate Dragon City should be at the border of the Lake of Death and the Dragon Ridge Mountain Range.
Due to the passage of time, the landscape changed. The ancient city moved with the geology, away from its original location.
Lorne put the map away and moved on.
During this period of time, he had been closely monitoring the situation of the Dragon Soul Compass. For some reason, the needle of the Dragon Soul Compass was trembling slightly, as if it had sensed something.
But to his frustration, he could not find any trace of the dragon soul.
After several attempts, he was basically certain that this was definitely because the compass was close to Cold Desolate Dragon City, so it was affected by a special power.
With this conclusion, Lorne became even more excited.
As the former habitat of the dragon, there was definitely a dragon tomb in the Cold Desolate Dragon City. There might even be a large number of dragon corpses there.
If he could obtain enough dragon corpses there, he would make a killing.
