While waiting for time to get off work, Ringer invited Elise to help.
"Okay, let's go and do some exercise." Elise agreed, stretching.
After a while, Diluco took Taliyah back to the store.
"I heard that you are going to dig in the mining area. Are there any special ores there?" Taliyah, who was wearing an earthy yellow dress, asked as soon as she arrived.
Ringer looked at Luno and asked him to answer this question.
After Runo looked at Taliyah in surprise, he replied: "There is a yellow crystal underground, which is hard in texture and contains a lot of earth elements. We call it citrine."
"Sounds good, maybe it's a delicious ore." Taliyah's eyes lit up slightly, "I'll help you."
When there were still twenty minutes left before getting off work, Celia returned to the store, and Karina came back with her.
"Hey, I haven't seen you in two days. Did you miss me?" As soon as she entered the store, Karina came to the bar and sat down. She held her chin in her hands and stared at Ringer with flickering eyes, completely ignoring the presence of other people. .
"It's almost closing, why are you here?"
"I miss your bathtub."
Lin Ge glanced at her arm and said, "Just in time, you can come and help."
The crow crows and it’s time to get off work.
Ringer put on a dust-proof black magic cloak, led the helpers, and Runo to the mining area under the Crown Mine.
Behind him is the wooden door of the bar, embedded in the rock at the end of the mine tunnel. In front is the collapsed mining area, only the section near the door has not been buried.
Runo returned to his original size and looked more like a giant. His five-meter-tall body made the small space seem even more crowded.
He looked at the blocked mine tunnel and said: "The tunnel I dug to get here is buried again. It seems that there is another vibration in the ground."
Taliyah picked up a piece of yellow ore at her feet and threw it into her mouth. The sound of a crusher crushing the stone came from her mouth.
"The ore here tastes really good."
At this time, the mine suddenly shook violently, and a large amount of gravel fell from everyone's heads.
But everyone remained calm and easily knocked away the gravel falling towards them. Only Lanya hid under Ringer's cloak.
The shaking stopped quickly, and Ringer asked Runo: "Do earthquakes often happen here?"
Runo shook his head seriously: "It never happened a week ago."
Ringer touched his chin: "Then there must be some factor causing this vibration. Maybe we should find the source first, otherwise when we rescue people, there will be another vibration, and the miners trapped in other places will be in danger. .”
Luno thought for a while and said: "I will save people, and Mr. Ringer and your friends will go find the source of the vibration. It would be great if the vibration can no longer happen."
Indeed, more people can be saved by spreading out operations.
Ringer glanced at Runo's scarred hands, turned to Elise and said, "Elise, go with him to find survivors."
Elise nodded, and her body swayed, revealing her round golden body, which scared Runo all over.
"Golden Spider!"
"Don't be afraid, she is a vegetarian." Linge patted Elise's slender spider legs beside him and said with a smile.
"Don't touch me, you pervert." Elise retracted the spider leg that was touched by Ringer and gave him a kick, but Ringer dodged it sideways.
Elise snorted, rolled up her eight long golden legs, shrank into a spider ball, rolled forward, and opened up a passage.
Runo put away his shock and ran to follow.
"I'll join them too." Nilu, who had followed along, floated out from behind Linger and chased after him.
After they left, only Ringer's team, Karina, Diluco, and Taliyah were left in front of the door.
Taliyah suddenly lay down and pressed her face against a complete stone slab, as if she was feeling something.
"Taliya, what did you find?" Linge asked.
"I feel the rhythm of the earth element. The source of the vibration you are looking for is likely to be in the center of the rhythm." Taliyah lay on the ground and stared at Linge.
"Can you take us there."
Taliyah nodded, then curled up on the ground, forming a perfect sphere inside her body and spinning rapidly.
Rubbles flew, Taliyah drilled into the ground, and a narrow passage diagonally downward was opened.
Linger took the lead into the passage opened by Taliyah, and Lanya and others followed him one after another.
About a few dozen meters down, a seemingly naturally formed stone chamber appeared. The stone chamber was covered with yellow crystals.
In the center of the stone chamber, there is an oval stone, about one meter high, with a very smooth surface, like a huge stone egg.
Taliyah, who had already entered the stone chamber, was holding the stone and trying to bite off a piece, but the surface of the stone was too smooth for her to bite.
"It turns out to be a stone giant." Karina showed such an expression when she saw the stone eggs in the stone room.
"Stone giant?" Ringer looked back at her.
"Yes, the mining area they are mining is probably the body of a sleeping stone giant, and this stone egg is its core. The vibrations in the mining area are a sign that the sleeping stone giant is about to wake up. Once it wakes up "If you find that your body is riddled with holes, you will definitely be furious. By then, no one in the mining area will be able to escape," Karina said.
"Is there any way to prolong the time it takes to wake up? At least until the miners in the mining area are evacuated."
"Of course." Karina smiled. "The easiest thing is to destroy the core before it wakes up, so that it will never wake up. But the hardness of its core is quite amazing. If it can't be hit with one blow, Destruction will cause a greater shock and will most likely accelerate its awakening.”
"Does this seem too much for a stone giant?" His body was damaged while he was sleeping. It would be too miserable if his core was shattered and he fell into a long sleep.
"I don't recommend doing this either, then there is only one other way."
"any solution?"
"Take the core and return it after the miners in the mining area have been evacuated."
"good idea."
Linge stepped forward and said to Taliyah, who was holding the stone egg: "Taliya, please give way, I want to put it away."
Taliyah reluctantly let go of the stone egg. This stone egg had a strong attraction for her. She was sure that if she could eat it, her power would definitely increase to the next level.
But from what the red-haired woman said, it seemed to be the core of some big guy. Knowing this, she gave up the idea of eating it.
Ringer stretched out his right hand, preparing to use the storage ring to store the pebble.
His magic power extends through the storage ring, touching the pebbles like a tentacle. Under normal circumstances, objects touched by his magic power will be collected into the small space in the ring.
But the stone egg showed no response.
"Huh?"
