Chapter 162: Mithril Mine Area Intelligence, Mining, and Departure Obstruction

"Of course. There are two main forces in this mining area. One is the town forces. There are dozens of towns in the Mithril Plain in the central area. The largest and most powerful of them is Nebula City, with a population of nearly 10 million!"

"The other force is the robbers in the mining area!"

"Robber?" Lu Ming and A Le looked at Zhang San in surprise.

They didn't expect that one of the two major forces in the mithril mining area was actually robbers.

Even though they encountered Lei Lao Hu's robbery as soon as they entered the mining area, they thought it was an isolated case, but they didn't expect it to be like this.

"It seems that this Mithril Mine Area is really a chaotic place!"

Zhang San reminded: "If you encounter robbers, as long as you don't resist, they will only rob you of your money and not hurt you."

Ah Le raised his eyebrows: "So these robbers are quite kind?"

"Mercy?" Lu Ming sneered.

"They treat miners as gooses that lay eggs, and they won't kill the goose to get the eggs."

Zhang San nodded: "This little brother is really insightful. They don't kill people just to plan for the next robbery!"

A Le suddenly thought of a question: "Mithril is such an important strategic material, why doesn't the Empire just send troops to take over this place?"

Lu Ming was also puzzled by this.

"It's not that the Empire doesn't want to, but that it can't!"

Zhang San's words surprised the two of them.

"The Empire is not able to take over this place?"

Zhang San thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible. If we use all the power of the empire, we can take over the entire mithril mining area, but the gain will not outweigh the loss."

"The Mithril Mine is vast, and there are countless monster nests in it. So far, only one-third of the mines in the entire Mithril Mine have been explored. The time and resources required to explore the remaining mines are incalculable!"

"Besides, there are too many monsters here. Every once in a while, a monster tide will erupt. These monsters alone are very troublesome."

Lu Ming agreed with Zhang San's explanation: "You are right. If the empire spends a lot of resources here, it will inevitably lead to a lack of national strength, which will pose a threat to the security of the empire!"

At this moment, a voice came from the front: "Time is up, start work!"

Ah Le watched everyone go get their tools and whispered, "Lu Ming, are we really going to mine?"

"It won't hurt to practice. If we can't find the Mithril Rat, we might as well try mining!"

"Fine!"

The two received the mining tools and went to the work site.

This was originally a wild mining cave. The monsters in it have been cleared out by Chiyun City. It now belongs to Chiyun City. This team of miners was organized by Chiyun City.

The two men waved their shovels and dug for mithril ore in imitation of each other.

“Ding ding dong dong…”

The sound of digging could be heard throughout the mine.

Half a day later.

"It's time to take a break and eat!"

At a shout, the miners stopped working and rushed to the meal.

Lu Ming and A Le did not rush to go, but looked at what they had gained in the past half day.

There were more than thirty pieces of mithril ore piled in front of them, from which less than 3 grams of mithril could be extracted.

3 grams of mithril may not seem like much, but it is already quite good for two beginners.

This also relies on the natural supernatural power of landing and the fast excavation speed, otherwise there would not be even 3 grams.

"Let's go, we don't need to be here anymore."

"Okay." Ale threw away the shovel and walked out happily. He no longer wanted to mine.

The two were stopped halfway.

"Where are you going?"

"I don't want to do this anymore, leave!"

"You can leave if you want, but leave the ore behind."

Ah Le frowned slightly: "We have followed the rules and left half of the ore."

But the guard said firmly: "I said you leave all the ore!"

"Why?"

"Why? Just because of the knives in our hands!"

"Clang"

There was a sound of blades being unsheathed, and a dozen guards drew their shining swords.

"Either leave the ore or leave your life!"

The guard's words made Lu Ming and A Le's faces darken: "Are you going to force us to take action?"

"Force you to do it?"

"Ha ha ha ha......"

The guards laughed.

"How dare you two resist?"

In the Mithril Mining Area, miners have the lowest status and are the least respected profession.

These guards thought that Lu Ming and his companions were just ordinary miners and did not take them seriously at all.

The situation here also attracted the attention of people around, including Zhang San.

Watching Lu Ming and the other man clashing with the guards, he sighed in his heart: "They are still too young!"

In a chaotic place like the Mithril Mine, the survival rate is not high and you can die if you are not careful.

Zhang San saw that Lu Ming and the other man were about to get into trouble, and considering the beef jerky they had given him before, he quickly stepped forward.

"Please don't be angry, my lords. These two guys were just exhausted. Please forgive me."

As he spoke, he turned around and whispered to Lu Ming and the others, "Hurry up and give them all the ore and apologize, or they will really kill you."

Ah Le shook his head: "Uncle Zhang, I know you are doing this for our own good, but we have kept half of the ore according to the rules. The rest is ours and we will never give it to them."

"you......"

Zhang San didn't know what to say.

"It's hard to persuade you with good words. Since you insist on doing what you want, I won't care."

After saying this, Zhang San returned to the miners' team.

The guard saw this and said with a fierce smile: "You want to die, then I will grant your wish!"

Before he finished speaking, he swung the long sword in his hand.

The miners around saw this and sighed, "What a pity for the two little guys."

They couldn't bear to see the tragic scene of Lu Ming and the other man's heads falling to the ground, so they quickly lowered their heads.

"what!"

Screams were heard, accompanied by the sound of weapons falling.

The miners were somewhat confused.

They understood the screams, but how could the weapons fall?

When they looked up, everyone's faces were filled with surprise.

"How could this be?"

Lu Ming and A Le were standing there safe and sound, but the guard who had swung the knife before was wailing in pain.

What is terrifying is that the opponent's palm that originally held the knife is now only left with bones!

In less than a second, Ah Le removed all the flesh from the opponent's palm!

Such a horrific method shocked the guards, and they dared not go up for a while.

Zhang San took a deep breath when he saw this scene: "No wonder they dared to do this, it turns out they have some strength."

"I just don't know if they can leave here safely!"

There are quite a lot of guards coming from Chiyun City this time, about 200 people, and fifty of them are fortune tellers!

In Zhang San's opinion, Lu Ming and the other man might have some strength, but they still couldn't escape death under such power.

At this moment, a loud shout came from behind the miners.

"You are all useless. Are you scared by just one blow from someone?"

Lu Ming looked in the direction of the sound and saw the miners quickly lined up on both sides to make way.
