Chapter 22: Red Iron Mine Cave! Rich Mineral Deposits!

"Set off, Red Wolf Grotto Nest!"

Qin Luo stood with a Black Iron Realm Undead Bone General on his left and right, and behind him was the mighty Undead Skeleton Army.

Under Wang Yi's leadership, Qin Luo arrived near the Red Wolf Grotto Nest that was destroyed and wiped out yesterday.

The Red Wolf Grotto Nest was located in a vast wilderness, with sparse vegetation and flying sand and stones.

A few Red Wolves were shuttling through the wilderness, as if looking for something, and when they saw the Undead Army approaching, they fled in all directions.

When Qin Luo saw that the area around the hill where the Red Wolf Grotto Nest was located was large patches of red soil and red stones, he felt that this time, nine times out of ten, he had found the right place.

Around the Red Wolf Grotto Nest, there were various strangely shaped rocks, and with a casual knock, fire-red ore was revealed.

Similar to the Red Iron obtained before, the exterior was as bright red as fire, the interior was as hard as iron, and it emitted a special aura.

When sunlight shone on this stone, it would show a shining light, making people feel very shocked.

"Hiss, there is actually so much Red Iron ore even on the surface!"

"Then underground, isn't it an incomparably huge Red Iron mine!"

Qin Luo patted the fire-red rock. This is an extremely rare rich mine. The red ore mined out almost does not need to be refined, and it is already qualified Red Iron ore, used as material for upgrading buildings or forging cast iron.

"In that abandoned grotto cave, a large amount of red rocks identical to the ground were also found!"

Wang Yi crawled out of the Red Wolf Grotto Nest and reported to Qin Luo.

"Clear the monsters in this area and fence it off; do not let any wild monsters or creatures approach!"

"The remaining Undead Skeleton Soldiers will mine. These red rocks contain a large amount of Red Iron ore. What we need is this kind of Red Iron. After collecting it, transport it back to the territory!"

Qin Luo held a piece of Red Iron in his hand and said to Wang Yi.

"Yes, Lord!"

Wang Yi, as an Undead Race unit, was absolutely obedient to the lord's orders and would not have any doubts.

It immediately led the Undead Skeleton Soldiers to start sweeping the surrounding area.

And Wang Er led a team of skeleton soldiers into the interior of the grotto nest and started the mining work.

Clang, clang, clang!

Not long after, sounds of various metal collisions rang out inside and outside the entire Red Wolf Grotto Nest.

Skeletons with white bones were waving sharp claws, mining ore.

They also established a specialized transport team to collect the mined stones and transport them back to the territory!

Qin Luo entered the mine cave and found that the space inside the grotto was much larger than he imagined, capable of accommodating hundreds of Undead Skeletons to mine ore at the same time.

"The Red Iron mine cave is less than one kilometer away from the territory in a straight line!"

"As long as the territory is upgraded to Bronze Grade, it should be able to be included in the territory range!"

"By then, I won't be afraid of being harassed by wild monsters!"

Qin Luo thought thoughtfully.

Boom!

A loud noise interrupted Qin Luo's thinking, and he looked towards the place where the sound came from.

He found two Undead Skeleton Soldiers crushed to the ground by a giant stone more than two meters high, their broken bones falling all over the ground, already completely dead.

The surrounding Undead Skeleton Soldiers gathered, absorbed the Undead Power of the dead skeletons, and then dispersed one after another, continuing to mine and transport.

Qin Luo looked around, his brows furrowing.

He saw an Undead Skeleton Soldier trying to lift an ore twice as big as itself, without considering whether it could lift it at all.

If no one stopped it, it would likely end up like the two skeletons just now, crushed into powder by the giant stone.

"It seems that using Undead Skeleton Soldiers to mine ore has many drawbacks!"

"One is that the profession is not right, and the second is that there are no mining tools, leading to low mining efficiency!"

"And the Undead Skeletons have too low IQ, and have no pain, completely unaware of their own strength limits, so they will carry giant stones that exceed their bearing capacity, which will lead to casualties!"

Qin Luo analyzed.

The Undead Body's lack of pain is naturally very useful in battle.

But it is not to say that pain is completely useless. Normal creatures have a sense of pain, which can instead remind the brain that they are injured and need timely treatment to avoid causing serious illness.

And in many cases, one can measure one's own strength based on pain and fatigue, so as to act according to one's ability and avoid danger.

But the Undead Skeletons not only have low IQ and cannot think normally, but they are also stubborn, only knowing how to execute death orders, which is very difficult to handle.

"This can't go on!"

"If there are heavy casualties even in mining, no matter how many skeleton soldiers there are, they won't be able to hold up!"

Qin Luo called Wang Yi over and asked for its opinion on whether there was a solution.

There was no way; the entire territory had only Qin Luo as a normal human, and there was no one to discuss with.

Wang Yi and other Undead Bone Generals also evolved from Undead Skeleton Soldiers.

It's just that now their Spirit attribute is a bit higher, at least their IQ is normal.

"Lord, our Undead Race is indeed not good at mining!"

Wang Yi was silent for a long time, then said, "However, we can use other race creatures as forced labor to help us mine, and we only need to be responsible for the security work of the mine cave!"

"Oh, go on!"

Qin Luo originally didn't hold much hope.

In Qin Luo's view, as long as the amount of Red Iron collected by the Undead is higher than the casualty rate, this mining work can be carried out to the end.

As for casualties, just treat it as a benefit for other Undead!

But he didn't expect Wang Yi to really have a solution, and the feasibility was very high.

"About two kilometers northeast of our territory, there is an Orc tribe!"

"We have scouted that there are more than one thousand Orcs in that tribe!"

Wang Yi reported to Qin Luo.

"Orc tribe!"

Qin Luo's eyes shone with brilliance.

In this Chaos Continent, there are not only lords and wild monsters.

There are also a large number of racial tribes, villages, towns, and even nation-level forces.

Of course, in the early stages of territory development, one will only encounter some tribal villages, and most of the time they are neutral and will not actively attack the lord's territory.

And the Orc race is a group of creatures with developed muscles, tall and strong physiques, and slightly lower IQ but better than Undead Skeletons, possessing powerful hunting abilities.

Of course, mining is also work that Orcs are good at, which can be considered a racial specialty!

"What is the overall strength of that Orc tribe!"

Qin Luo asked.

"Most of the Orcs inside are of Ordinary Grade strength, and there is no lack of Black Iron Realm Orc powerhouses, but the number will not be too many, at most no more than ten!"

"As long as our side gathers all Undead combat power, we will definitely be able to occupy the Orc tribe!"

As soon as Wang Yi mentioned battle, it had an urge to try.

Wang Yi broke through to the Black Iron Realm in just one day through battle and devouring the Undead Power of other Undead units, enjoying the pleasure of this rapid promotion of strength, so naturally, it also wanted to participate in more wars instead of staying in the mine cave all day mining.
