Things were a bit unexpected.
Just after arriving at the mine, we faced the first problem.
The selection of mineral points actually requires a demon doctor to determine.
"So in addition to boiling herbs to dispel evil spirits and occasionally being responsible for treating the wounded, the most important thing for the demon doctor is to select the mine, determine the location of the mineral point, and anchor the direction of the mineral vein, right?"
Su Wu confirmed thoughtfully.
"That's right!"
"The spirit of demon doctors is often very sharp. They can resist the interference of evil spirits and detect the amount and direction of the spiritual energy of mineral veins."
"Although the demon doctor I recruited before was not very good at medical skills, he managed to find a mine with medium yield. However, compared to Brother Xi, it is naturally much inferior."
Carnival explained.
When the time came, I didn’t forget to bring along the flattery.
"Are there any mineral deposits?"
"I need to see it!"
Su Wu remained calm and asked for the minerals.
Although according to the rules, all minerals need to be handed over, he does not believe that there will be no interception in the hands of a steward like Huanxi.
"this......"
Hearing the words, Huanyan hesitated and looked at each other with the other three demons. Finally, after the awkward half-demon nodded slightly, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I will get it for my brother right away."
Su Wu, who saw all this in his eyes, couldn't help but secretly remember it in his heart.
About a quarter of an hour later.
Carnival hurried back, holding something as big as an egg in his hand.
"This is blood iron, the main product of the new mine."
"Although there are other associated minerals, those are either too small in quantity or of little use. What we are mainly looking for is blood iron."
Huanyan put the blood iron in Su Wu's hand, and then asked curiously: "Why does Brother Xi need this thing?"
In the past, the demon doctor had relied on his keen mental perception to find the aura and direction of the mineral veins, and no one needed to look at the blood iron ore first.
So I can't help but feel a little suspicious.
"laugh!"
"What do you know! A true demon doctor must not only be mentally sharp and strong, but also need to be able to observe carefully and possess the four means of seeing, hearing, asking, and understanding."
Su Wu sneered, and while carefully observing the blood iron ore, he continued: "I'll ask you what it is, and you won't understand it even if I tell you. In short, you should regard the blood iron ore as a medicinal plant, or a disease demon. "
“Only with a preliminary understanding can we follow the traces.”
After some reasoning, the doubts in the hearts of the demons suddenly disappeared, and they said that they had learned a lot.
Carnival was even more smug and said: Let's see, what is professional? This is professional. He is worthy of being a demon doctor under the leadership of the Inspector of Mines. He is not comparable to those ordinary demon doctors with crooked melons and cracked jujubes.
Su Wu remained silent and continued to observe.
But he sighed secretly in his heart: After all, the plan could not keep up with the changes.
However, although it was a bit unexpected, he had already been mentally prepared and was not panicking at this time.
The blood iron ore at the moment is only the size of an egg, and is blood red all over. There is a surge of red gas visible to the naked eye, flowing like water, condensing but not dispersing.
Although it is small in size, it is not light in weight, weighing about three or four kilograms.
And the texture is extremely hard.
However, the output of this thing should be very rare, and even very difficult to mine, otherwise the Night Tour Palace would not offer the mining demon the price of ten pounds of blood iron for one pound of dried meat.
【blood iron】
[Quality: Fancao Level 0]
[Medical properties: bitter evil blood ±0.3, iron essence ±1.2, spiritual energy ±0.1]
Herbs!
This blood iron is actually a kind of medicinal herb!
This small piece of blood iron in front of you not only has a total medicinal value of 1.6, but also has rare spiritual energy medicinal properties.
'No wonder Ye Shen Palace would go to war over this. '
Su Wu was secretly shocked.
In the underground world, the preciousness of medicinal materials is self-evident.
Even level 0 herbs like blood mushrooms, which have junk medicinal properties, are worth four to five kilograms of dried meat. The blood iron ore contains spiritual energy, and its value cannot be measured by ordinary medicinal herbs.
More importantly, this is a mineral material, and its yield is by no means comparable to that of medicinal herbs.
As for the medicinal properties of iron essence and bitter evil blood, it is still unknown what their specific uses are.
This already involves the blind spot of his knowledge.
...
On the rock wall of the mine, there are many small honeycomb-shaped caves, the largest ones are more than ten meters long, and the small ones are about seven or eight meters long.
For mining, you need to choose among these branch holes.
In a branch hole, Su Wu was hammering and tapping, while relying on his spirit to carefully feel the flow of spiritual energy, he tried his best to resist the various crazy sounds that kept entering his mind.
Evil energy interferes and rushes in crazily.
The deeper you go into the mine, the more serious the erosion of evil spirits becomes, and the stronger the oppression on your spirit becomes. At this time, the demon clan, which has a low mental capacity and is mentally slow, does not feel clearly.
However, without a strong spirit as a barrier, they will gradually become alienated and crazy under the erosion of evil spirits.
One drink and one peck, nothing more than that.
"Not here!"
"Even I can't bear the evil spirit here. If we really mine here, the batch of mining monsters we recruited will not be able to withstand the consumption."
Carnival said with a solemn expression. The sheep demon and the ferocious demon who were following behind were not much better.
The old wolf stayed outside, guarding the demon group.
This is already the seventh unowned mine they are looking for.
Some mines lack spiritual energy and their blood iron production is very low. Some mines have enough aura, but they are too close to other mining sites and are prone to conflicts.
In short, each has its own problems.
This led them all the way down the main mine shaft, now more than a few hundred meters deep.
"It's so unfair!"
"The mines above have either been occupied by other mining teams in advance, or the mineral output is too low. We latecomers can only choose from other people's leftovers."
The demon whispered softly.
Its name is Kuanglan, and she is a female half-demon. The body shape is more like a human, but the ears, tail, claws and other parts are shaped like a wolf demon.
"yes"
The sheep demon thought for a moment and then said.
It doesn't have a name, so people usually call it Laoyang. Although they are pure-blooded demons, because the sheep demons are very weak, they rarely talk and appear to work hard without complaining.
The three demons looked at Su Wu, only to find that the latter seemed to be deep in thought.
[ground granulation]
[Quality: Fancao Level 2]
[Properties of Medicine: Growing...]
Seeing the information that suddenly appeared in his mind, Su Wu's heart skipped a beat.
There seemed to be a faint red light flashing on the rock wall I just explored.
Seeing that the three demons stopped discussing, he turned his head calmly and sneered: "Fair?"
"Only the weak will shout about fairness."
"You have to understand that we are here to mine and find ways to make each other go further. We are not here to ask other mining teams to show mercy and pity us."
"We have already intervened, which is equivalent to dividing the interests of other mining teams. If we continue to compete with them for the upper mineral point, if it were you, how would you respond?"
Huan Huan was silent for a while after hearing this, and finally nodded, sighing slightly: "Brother Xi is right. But what should we do? We can't continue to explore."
There is really nothing we can do about it.
Su Wu's ability is pretty good, and he can gain something from most mineral points, but the key is that they can't get those available mineral points!
"This matter is not difficult!" Su Wu pondered for a while, first asked the other two demons to back off, then walked into Carnival and whispered:
"I want to ask Brother Kuang what his real purpose is."
"Should we mine the blood mine safely, or should we complete the blood sacrifice and find something else!"
As soon as it said this, Carnival's eyes suddenly widened. It also looked left and right, repeatedly confirming that the sheep demon Ao Yao was not approaching, and then whispered: "Mr. Inspector Shi, did you cook all that stuff? You Can you actually resist its pollution?"
Su Wu was delighted when he heard this.
Sure enough, these words already indicate that the ground meat is produced here!
Just how it came about, he knew it must be related to blood sacrifice, but he had no way of knowing the specifics.
In fact, if he hadn't suddenly discovered the ground granulation just now, he wouldn't have chosen to test it here.
We must win this mine!
Even if you can't enjoy the ground meat yourself, you can still use the credit of discovering the ground meat to win the favor of the black cat and further your status.
And if his guess is correct, the real goal of Yeyou Palace is earthly meat with a quality as high as the third level of mortal grass, and the blood iron ore mining is just an incidental item.
Of course, out of caution, Su Wu still didn't name Dirou.
This matter still needs to be tested, so he simply continued vaguely: "The medicinal properties of that thing are very strong, even I can't bear it."
"Indeed, the medicinal properties of ground meat are terrifying. If you can boil it into a medicinal soup, it is not easy." Huanyan nodded and finally said the word ground meat.
It was also at this time that the last trace of doubt in its heart about Su Wu completely disappeared. If it weren't for Heixuan's close attendant demon, how could he possibly know the information about the earthly flesh.
Information about this medicinal material is strictly blocked by Yeyou Palace.
"I won't say any more compliments."
"The purpose of my asking you is just to tell you that for the blood iron ore, we can find any mining site to mine. But if it is for the ground meat..."
Su Wu paused, pointed to the tunnel at his feet, looked at the faint red light before, and continued in a low and hoarse voice:
"Right now, this evil-rich mine is our real choice! I can already smell the pure and evil medicinal properties."
"With the ground meat, Mr. Shi Shi must be very happy."
"At that time, you and I will also have real qualifications for promotion!"
"Do you dare? Do you want to do it?"
The mad wolf gritted his teeth and finally said viciously: "Why don't you dare!"
"That's it, I did it!"
