Chapter 346 Light Crystal
The Ranch Cave is the real entrance to the underground, because only when you get here can you touch the door to the underground world.
If you stand at the bottom of the cave and look up, you will find that the crack above has become smaller than the tip of a needle. Here, it is already thousands of meters deep underground.
"I think you should replace the torches on both sides of the road with magic crystal lamps. At least this way you don't have to replace torches frequently and it also reduces a lot of manpower consumption. Just tell me what I said is right, brother!"
As soon as Tang En lifted Brian's silencing spell, he exploded after holding it in for a long time.
"Shut up, if you change it to a magic crystal lamp today, tomorrow these adventurers will strip this place for you, do you believe it?"
"That's a problem... Also, this road is too long, isn't it? I think we can set up a rope at a distance and then slide down... Huh? What is this sound?"
Brian suddenly heard an excited sound coming from a distance, and it was still approaching here quickly. He followed the direction of the sound and looked over. After a moment, Brian's eyes widened in shock: "Brother, what is that?" Condition?"
A person sat very comfortably on an arc-shaped slide and quickly slid down from it. After decelerating in an arc and buffering for a while, he left the slide, stood firmly on the ground, and slid down the slide. The cushion under my butt was given to the person next to me.
After a while, another person also came down the slide.
Fiona Elsa and others also noticed the situation over there, and upon hearing this, they all looked at Tang En.
"As you can see," Tang En shrugged, "It's a fast slide, and each person gets a gold coin for each trip. According to Gass, it's quite popular."
Before Tang En personally built the walking passage on the cliff, he considered the possibility of a rope slide, but in the end gave up the idea because the distance was too long and it was too troublesome to build a cliff ropeway, so he simply used earth magic to create a ropeway. The zigzag road, of course, didn't take him long.
After shaping the cliff road, he was suddenly inspired and thought of the marble slides on the mountains in scenic spots on the earth. So on a whim, he made another slide next to it - it must be said that he used magic to knead it. The slide that comes out is very smooth and is eight thousand meters long from top to bottom, which fully satisfies people's excitement-seeking psychology.
Then Tang En took this out as a paid service - Do you want to reach the underground world faster? Want to feel the feeling of flying down eight thousand meters? Then come and ride the Haildrom Slide! One gold coin at a time, no child can be deceived! Note: Only standard body races.
Brian's eyes widened: "If there is such a convenient way, why do we have to walk down here!?"
"This is exercise..."
Tang En said earnestly: "A journey of thousands of miles begins with a single step. If you always think about solving problems conveniently and comfortably every day without suffering at all, how can you become a great warrior?"
Uncle Depp nodded with deep understanding.
Brian was particularly reluctant to look at the hanging basket that lifted the cushions in the distance. Curiosity was clawing at his heart like a kitten. He always wanted to try something new.
"Okay, okay, come and play by yourself when you have time, I don't have time to waste you now."
Tang En looked at the lively crowd in front and said thoughtfully: "This place is more lively than I imagined."
Indeed, as he said, the excrement in this cave ranch has been burned and cleaned by him, and the huge space has been leveled. At this moment, there are more adventurers gathered here than in the town above, and they are in small groups. They gathered together, with blankets spread on the ground, on which were placed the trophies they had explored in the underground world, ores, magic plants, bones of monsters, claws, etc...
This place has become an underground market.
What made Tang En and the others most curious was that each of them seemed to have a kind of luminous crystal in their hands. It was not a magic crystal lamp, nor a magic crystal. Although the soft light was not very strong, it was enough in such a dark place. Replacement torches illuminate the surrounding area.
And it seems that the crystal is quite durable.
"Hey! Sir, what do you like?"
The adventurer noticed Tang En's gaze. He noticed the uniform soldiers behind Tang En. His eyes lit up and he immediately regarded him as a noble fat sheep who came here to explore. He immediately said with great enthusiasm: "I can give him something." You have a good discount! After all, climbing up once takes a lot of time, and taking the cable car is too expensive. If you are willing to package it up, I can give you a 20% discount!"
Tang En asked with great interest: "What is this lighting crystal next to you? How to sell it?"
The adventurer rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Is this your first time here, sir?"
Tang En nodded.
"That's right. This place has just appeared for more than half a month. Apart from us...ah, it's a bit far."
The adventurer coughed dryly, held up the luminous crystal solemnly and said, "This thing is a treasure. If you can't find a magician who can illuminate the magic in the team, this is an indispensable thing for adventure in the underground world." , it is more convenient and durable than a torch, and it will not attract the attention of underground monsters due to being too hot..."
Tang En waved his hand: "Just tell me how much it is?"
The adventurer's eyes lit up and he said crisply: "...Fifty...no, one hundred gold coins! As long as you pay one hundred gold coins, this 'Light Crystal' will belong to you!"
Looking at his appearance, how could Tang En not guess that he was opening his mouth to the lion? And judging from his asking price and the fact that most of the people around him had one, it was almost certain that this thing was not a rare thing in the underground world.
Tang En smiled, turned around and left.
"Hey, guest, don't leave! Tell me what you have to say! I know, I know! Eighty gold coins! Isn't eighty enough!? Seventy - only seventy - sixty, ah no, fifty Coins! Only fifty gold coins!"
An adventurer next to him gloated and laughed: "Hahaha, are you stupid? It's just a light crystal, how dare you ask for a hundred gold coins?"
The guy regretted it: "Damn it, I should have known less from the beginning."
"I made you greedy. I didn't say anything just now. Don't throw dirty water on me."
Here, it has almost become a trend for old people to trick newcomers. If you don’t keep your eyes open, you will easily be tricked by these old fritters and lose all your money. However, this is also an experience needed for growth...
"Light crystal!"
Fiona clenched her fists. Before entering the underground world, she had already discovered a potential resource, which made her even more confident about this special operation.
"A nice mineral."
Tang En nodded and said: "It seems to be a kind of alienated ore of magic crystal ore in a rich element deposition environment. The magic power absorbed inside resonates with the elements, but the reaction is very weak, so it emits a soft light - theory In other words, it can increase brightness by stimulating resonance reactions.”
Fiona's eyes lit up: "Really!?"
"Yes."
Tang En nodded firmly. He just used his magic power to test the light crystal again. He was very sure that it was the alienated ore of the magic crystal ore.
The appearance of this light crystal did arouse Tang En's interest. If this thing is common in the underground world, there is no need to worry about Ellington's night scene lighting problem - although the fluorescent grass of the elves is very beautiful, it is not used for lighting. , as expected it was still a bit worse.
"Just keep walking."
Tang En waved his hand, and the team passed directly through the lively underground market and entered the hole in front.
The people here are much rarer than before, and most of them are those who are going out. Instead, only Tang En and his team entered the underground world.
"Give one, give one, give one!"
At this time, there was suddenly a commotion of footsteps ahead.
Vanilla frowned slightly: "It smells of blood."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a group of people carrying several wounded people and running out in a hurry. The wounded people on the simple stretchers were covered with laceration wounds that could be seen deep in the bones. The bandages that were bandaged in a hurry were stained red with blood. Those who were still there were still injured. Those who were moaning in pain were still relatively well, and a few of them had even passed out.
When Ilia saw such a bloody scene, she was so frightened that she got into Tang En's arms and did not dare to look out.
"Lord Lord..."
Fiona's face was a little pale, and she subconsciously moved closer to Tang En. After thinking about Tang En's great strength, she felt a little more at ease.
What they just saw was a peaceful scene, but Fiona and the others had forgotten that ahead was a strange underground world. Although it was full of opportunities and wealth, it was never a paradise, but a place full of dangers. The place.
Tang En frowned slightly, his attention still focused on the wound he just saw. That wound didn't look like it was caused by ordinary monsters...
Noticing Fiona's gaze, he came back to his senses and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, I will protect you, let's go."
After hearing what Tang En said, her fear left her instantly. The uneasy Fiona felt warm in her heart. The dark cave seemed to have turned into a grassland under the sun, and even the air was filled with the smell of happiness.
Elsa next to her pouted and became sulky when she heard this. She also wanted people to protect her. Why wasn't she the kind of heroine in knight novels?
After thinking about it, Elsa looked down at her fists and suddenly felt the urge to cry.
No matter how you think about it, she is not a heroine because of this strange power.
With her strength, even a knight would not dare to protect her...
It's better for her to protect the knight...
