Chapter 51: Mining Tools! Target: Dwarf Village!

"Yes, the surroundings of this nest really need to be carefully explored!"

"We harvested a large amount of metal ore this time, and besides Red Iron, there are also Bronze and Jingjin resources!"

"I suspect there should be mines for these two types of resources nearby!"

Qin Luo pondered for a while and said, "But you must be careful when exploring. You should have discovered something when fighting the Gold-Eating Rat King just now!"

"The Gold-Eating Rat King's realm is indeed Bronze Realm, no doubt!"

"However, it did not display the true strength of the Bronze Realm, otherwise we could not have killed it so easily!"

"In my opinion, the Gold-Eating Rat King was already seriously injured before the big battle, and it was missing a forelimb. Judging from the wound, it was clearly injured not long ago!"

"Therefore, I infer that not long ago, the Gold-Eating Rat King fought with one or a group of powerful creatures, and the final result was that the Gold-Eating Rat King and the Gold-Eating Rat tribe were defeated, and they had no choice but to migrate to this subterranean nest!"

At this time, Wu Ershiyi continued along Qin Luo's topic, "Both nests and the surrounding rat tunnels were newly excavated. The soil on the ground is a bit damp, and there is a fresh smell. These can all be used as evidence for the inference!"

"Hmm, what you said is indeed correct!"

"This also confirms that this is not the original nest of the Gold-Eating Rat tribe, but one they just moved into!"

"Otherwise, the Red Iron mine would have been occupied by the Gold-Eating Rats long ago!"

Qin Luo nodded slightly.

Of course, he had another basis for judgment that he didn't say out loud.

That is, after they wiped out the Gold-Eating Rat tribe, if this were a Gold-Eating Rat nest, he would have received a system prompt for 【Occupying the Shi Jin Shu Chao Xue】.

Qin Luo could also choose to occupy or destroy the 'Shi Jin Shu Chao Xue', or even give up occupying it, letting it become a wild nest, and new Gold-Eating Rats would continue to be born after a period of time.

Moreover, only after destroying the nest would the corresponding Barracks Heart drop.

Instead of rewarding the Barracks Heart directly after killing the Gold-Eating Rat King!

"Also, if you discover new enemies, do not act rashly before you figure out the true strength of the enemy!"

Qin Luo reminded.

In this battle with the Gold-Eating Rat tribe, if Qin Luo hadn't dispatched several powerful reinforcements, if it had been replaced by other lords' troops, they would probably have been wiped out by the Gold-Eating Rat tribe long ago!

You must know that in the battle from last night to today, the number of Undead Skeleton Soldiers killed by the Gold-Eating Rats is estimated to be three or four thousand!

Even three thousand Undead Skeleton Soldiers are equivalent to all the troops recruited by ten ordinary lords in these three days!

And the enemy that Qin Luo inferred could defeat the Gold-Eating Rat tribe would only be more terrifying.

Before having absolute strength, it is best not to make too many enemies.

It would be fine if you could beat them.

If you can't beat them, not only will your side suffer heavy losses, but even the Red Iron mine might be lost.

"Yes, Lord!"

Wang Yi said.

"Transport these spoils back to the territory as soon as possible!"

"I'll head back first. You continue; this Lord won't disturb you anymore!"

Qin Luo said to the Undead. Today, he originally only wanted to send the Centaurs and other indigenous people to the Red Iron mine to see their speed in mining Red Iron.

As for the battle with the Gold-Eating Rat tribe, it was not in Qin Luo's plan.

It was precisely because he watched the whole battle that Qin Luo felt the battlefield was too dangerous and not suitable for him.

Even Black Iron Realm Undead Bone Generals could die at any time.

Not to mention, Qin Luo's strength is only Ordinary Three-Star.

It is estimated that if the Gold-Eating Rat King sneezed beside Qin Luo, it could spray him to death.

It's safer to stay in the territory.

With the Novice Protection Shield, there is no fear of any monsters or ghosts.

Qin Luo passed through the rugged and narrow passage again and returned to the Red Iron mine.

The mine is located underground, but because a large amount of Red Iron ore has been mined, the internal space is extremely spacious, and it is no problem to accommodate thousands of people at the same time.

At this time, more than nine hundred Goblins, humans, Taurens, and Centaurs were working and mining, and their mining speed was obviously much faster than the Undead.

"Have you encountered any problems with mining?"

Just as Qin Luo was about to leave, he happened to meet the Centaur village chief Kamen, so he stopped to ask.

"Lord, there is indeed a problem!"

Kamen said, "We lack mining tools, which will cause our mining efficiency to be very slow. If there are suitable mining tools, it can at least increase our efficiency by two or three times, and it will be no problem to mine thousands or even tens of thousands of units of Red Iron a day. Besides mining tools, transportation tools are also very important!"

"Tools are indeed an important factor affecting mining efficiency!"

Qin Luo thought thoughtfully, perhaps he could see if there were any lords selling mining tools in the trading market.

If not, buying some blueprints would also work.

With Red Iron as raw material and intelligent human beings, even if they couldn't make sophisticated high-end tools, wouldn't it be easy to make some simple and rough tools?

"I will find a way to get a batch of mining tools!"

Qin Luo looked at Kamen's hesitant look, "Or is it that you have any solution?"

"Lord, have you forgotten that there is a Dwarf village to the west of our original village!"

"They are best at forging and will definitely be able to make us a batch of sophisticated mining tools, as well as vehicles for transporting ore!"

"In the past, the metal tools and weapons we needed for our lives were all purchased from the Dwarf village!"

Kamen said immediately.

"If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten!"

Qin Luo suddenly realized.

Although taking the Centaur village was yesterday's business, only one day apart, Qin Luo wouldn't have forgotten the Dwarf village.

But he was too busy every day, and his focus was more on resource exchange in the trading market and troop recruitment.

As for attacking the indigenous villages and tribes, Qin Luo was a hands-off manager, handing it over to the Undead Legion to handle, and he didn't pay special attention to it.

More importantly, yesterday he didn't have 100% confidence in taking down the Dwarf village, which had sophisticated equipment and was fully armed, worrying that his strength was not enough.

Once you lose a battle in the early stage, it will be even harder to develop!

But now!

No matter how strong the Dwarf village is, can it be more powerful than the Gold-Eating Rat tribe with over ten thousand members?

"Okay, I will immediately dispatch the Undead Legion to attack the Dwarf village!"

Qin Luo said to Kamen.

It can be seen that this Kamen has deep resentment toward the Dwarves and wishes Qin Luo would capture the Dwarves immediately.

Before leaving the mine, Qin Luo had Wang Shi Yi and Wu Ershiyi mobilize a large number of Undead Skeleton Soldiers to withdraw from the mine and go to rendezvous with the legion led by Wang Er to discuss the matter of attacking the Dwarf village.

Although the Undead Legion under his command is numerous, they all have their own duties.

The Undead Legion where Wang Yi is located is still responsible for exploring the underground world and guarding the Red Iron mine.

Wang Er's Undead Legion is responsible for attacking the indigenous villages and tribes around the territory.

For some weak villages, they are taken down directly.

If it is a gathering place for powerful tribes, they must first investigate the other party's strength.

"Take down the Dwarf village first; the sooner you take it down, the more Red Iron you can mine!"

"As for the Orc tribe, there are suspected Bronze Realm Orcs, so we must be cautious!"

"Orcs are not like Gold-Eating Rats; their strength will only be stronger than Gold-Eating Rats!"

After Qin Luo returned to the territory, he assigned tasks to the Undead.

Afterward, he checked the harvest again and took out the two Bronze treasure chests that exuded a metallic luster.

It's time for the exciting moment of opening the chests!

The most he had obtained before were Black Iron Grade treasure chests.

This was the first time he had seen a Bronze Grade treasure chest!

I hope to open some treasures this time!
