Chapter 161: Targeted by the Rock Kingdom
In a manor in Qingyun City
Shi Chui looked at Xu Jin and said, "Just say whatever you want to say now!"
Xu Jin bowed and said, "Your Highness, what I want to talk about is the identity of Lu Ming."
"Lu Ming's identity?"
Shichui looked at the other party curiously.
"Does that guy have any special identity?"
"Your Highness, as the general's deputy general, I have the general's trust!"
"Then Lu Ming's identity is related to a top-secret mission sent from the royal family six years ago!"
"A top secret mission? Or was it issued by the royal family?"
Shichui immediately became interested. You know, the tasks issued by the Rock Royal Family also have levels, and the top-secret tasks are the highest level!
A moment later, Xu Jin finished explaining the task, but Shi Chui frowned.
"Why don't I have any impression of this mission? Was it issued by my father himself?"
Thinking of this, Shichui's face became serious.
"Mr. Chen, I want to send a message to my father to inquire about this matter!"
Upon hearing this, the old man who had been following him immediately took out a palm-sized array plate from his arms and placed a fingernail-sized space crystal on it.
"Your Highness, the teleportation array has been set up!"
Shichui wrote quickly and put the note into the teleportation array.
In a moment, a message came from the other side.
Looking at the contents of the note, Shichui had a surprised expression.
Chen Yuan on the side asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"My father didn't even let me ask why, and just told me to hunt down Lu Ming with all my strength!"
He is the future heir of the Rock Kingdom. Logically, he has the right to know everything. However, his own father did not ask him about this matter, which shows how special the incident is!
Although Shichui was very curious about what was going on, he suppressed his curiosity.
Since his father didn't let him get involved, it meant that the matter was very serious, so serious that even someone of his status couldn't stay out of it.
"Do you know where Lu Ming is?"
"Mythril Mine!"
Shichui frowned slightly: "It turns out to be the Mithril Mine Area, which happens to be my destination!"
The real purpose of this time's revelation was to go to the mithril mine to collect mithril, and dealing with Du Hu's death was just a side trip.
After learning of Lu Ming's whereabouts, Shi Chui immediately set off for the mithril mining area.
The Palace of the Rock Kingdom
King Shi Dakai looked at the note in his hand, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
"Zhu Tiedan!"
A hunched figure came out from behind a dragon pillar.
"What's your majesty's order?"
"You must immediately go to the Mithril Mine and kill the boy named Lu Ming!"
"Yes!"
Just as Zhu Tiedan turned to leave, Shi Dakai spoke again.
"Wait, just in case, kill everyone who has anything to do with Lu Ming!"
Zhu Tiedan was somewhat surprised at the order Shi Dakai issued. What kind of secrecy was required to reach such a level?
Seeing Zhu Tiedan's surprise, Shi Dakai spoke slowly.
"This matter concerns my sister, Princess Shi. It's about what happened six years ago!"
When Zhu Tiedan heard this, his body tensed up instantly and his pupils condensed into pinholes.
As Shi Dakai's trusted and loyal follower, he was one of the few people who knew the inside story and was even more aware of the interests involved in the matter.
He said in a serious tone: "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely kill Lu Ming and erase all traces of him!"
Shi Dakai nodded and said, "Of course I trust you. Go quickly."
At this time, in the mithril mining area tens of thousands of miles away, Lu Ming and A Le mixed into a team of nearly a thousand miners.
After getting rid of Lei Lao Hu and the others, the two realized that they couldn't rush around in this complicated mithril mine like headless flies, they needed to understand the basic information here.
It was just a coincidence that the two of them met these miners when they walked into a mine and joined them.
"We have arrived at our destination. Let's take a half-hour break. We will start working in half an hour!"
The miners immediately rested on the spot, and Lu Ming and A Le also sat down.
The two men looked at the middle-aged man in his forties standing beside them, exchanged a glance, and prepared to get some information from the man.
Ah Le was the most talkative and he came over with a smile.
"What's your name, uncle?"
As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it over.
Inside was his snack, beef jerky made from giant-eyed bull monster meat.
The middle-aged man took a look at the beef jerky and a smile appeared on his face. He took the beef jerky and said, "My name is Zhang San. Just ask me if you have any questions."
Ah Le was stunned: "Uncle Zhang, how did you know we have something to ask?"
Zhang San rolled his eyes at him and said, "I can tell from the looks of you two that you have just entered the mining area. You gave me this because you want to know information about the mining area."
Lu Ming looked at Zhang San with some surprise. Although the other party looked honest, he was unexpectedly shrewd.
But it doesn’t matter this way, as long as I can get the information I want!
"Uncle Zhang, we have indeed just entered the mining area and we don't know what to ask. Can you tell us everything?"
At this time, Zhang San was taking out a piece of beef jerky and putting it into his mouth. As he chewed it, his eyes lit up.
"It's monster meat!"
If he were in the outside world, it would be difficult for him to eat monster meat with his status, but in the mithril mining area, he had eaten it several times.
Therefore, he immediately recognized that the dried meat in his hand was made of monster meat, and immediately kept the rest as a treasure.
Monster meat can provide a large amount of energy and is much stronger than ordinary meat, so it can be of great use at critical moments.
Zhang San was very happy to get the monster meat: "Then I will tell you what I know!"
"We came here just for Mithril. We are not like those noble fortune tellers. If we want to obtain Mithril, we can only mine and refine it honestly."
"But every industry has its own tricks. Mining also requires experience."
"An experienced person can obtain the most mithril with the least effort, otherwise it will be twice as effective for half the result!"
"Next I'm going to tell you the secret of mining, so you better listen carefully!"
Lu Ming and A Le were not actually interested in mining, but they still pretended to listen carefully.
"Uncle Zhang, we are listening, what do you say?"
"If you want to dig more mithril, you must learn to identify the mines!"
"There are three types of mines in the Mithril Mine Area. One is the tunnel mine. This type of mine is just a road. It has no value and the chance of finding Mithril is pitifully small."
"The second way is to explore wild mines. There are a lot of mithril ores in them!"
"Of course, you also know that Mithril is very attractive to monsters. Long-term contact with Mithril ore can enhance the monster's power. Therefore, there will be many monsters in the wild mines, which is quite dangerous!"
"There is also the last type of beast nest mine cave, which is full of monsters, but it also means that the mithril ore content inside is higher!"
Originally, Lu Ming and the others didn't pay much attention to what Zhang San said, but when they really heard it, they instantly perked up.
"Uncle Zhang, how can we distinguish the types of mines?"
"It's very simple. The entrance to the Beast Nest Mine is marked with a skull. There are many monsters in the wild mine!"
When the two heard this, their eyes lit up.
"This way, we don't have to worry about accidentally entering the Beast's Nest Mine!"
At this time, Ah Le spoke again: "Uncle Zhang, is there any powerful force in this mining area?"
