[Got something again, what a good luck.]
"Come On!" I fired the silver bullets shots accurately towards those Skeletal Soldiers widely scattered within the tunnel. It was a shocking sight at first because the tunnel is getting wide and now, it was about a road with four lanes width. There is plenty of Skeleton Soldiers, and most of them are similar to those I met before when I am in the intersection. It seems like they were group into a small group of five to ten.
A ten group skeletal soldiers are consisting of four Sword Wielding Skeleton, four Spear Wielding Skeleton, one Monk Staff Skeleton and a skeleton mage. The drops are all pretty similar, except that the mage actually drops the Broken Red Power Crystal instead of the lower or medium grade one. Looking at the Broken Crystals, I actually got a little feel of disappointment.
A broken Red Power Crystals mean it is a crystal with red hue but contains nothing within. It is like an empty Red Power Crystal that could be refined into its perfect condition without bothering about failure. But since it is empty, it could be used to contain the force of the Red Power Spring, which forms from the only location with an extremely dense amount of Red Power Source. A normal area with a small concentration of Red Power Crystals is called as a Vein. This is usually found in a cave.
A Deposit is used to label those Mines that is rich and abundant with resources like Red Power Crystals, and many more different materials, but the best of all would be the realms. Because within the realms, It is said that you will be able to see those Red Power Spring almost everywhere within the realm. But of course, a great profit always comes with a great risk.
Would a material mining attempt go well if you are actually trying to take a share of the benefits that was enjoyed by those ridiculously powerful monster such as Bronze Flame Dragon or the Steel Cyclops? You might need more than a team of ten to manage to barely survive, not to mention heavily injured when everyone returns.
Anyway, it is not a bother. All I would need is to get more material for myself. Since there is a Yellow Tunnel and also a Green Tunnel, most probably they are going to be Green Physical Crystal and Yellow Speed Crystal veins. This is great, as the three main crystal source had been provided to me by the cave itself. It says that my cave is dangerous, I wonder where is the dangerous part.
Sometimes, the part where the "The older the wiser" is always correct. I shouldn't ask where is the dangerous part, because a fully armoured soldier, not a skeleton one, but one with flesh, is standing before me with a katana. That katana look so damn sharp that it would easily slice me into two if I am not careful.
I retreated. The katana wielder walked towards me slowly, but his pace is much quicker than I thought. Luckily I didn't bring my goblin and Slime inside, else this might cost the two of them their lives. I continued to walk backwards until I heard a few "Kalak, kalak" sound. "Shit! There is a group of Skeletal Soldier behind me!"
I turned. Looking at the group of five, I quickly fired five random shots continuously. Four is hit, but only three falls. The remaining Monk Staff Soldier and Spear Soldier are walking towards me at a normal speed. I turned and looked at the Katana Wielder, but noticed that he was missing. "Shit! He already had his aim on me!" I quickly took one of the Temporary Deployment Shield and spread it when I crouched, and a heavy sound of "Tanggg!" is heard.
"F*cker! I was lucky to have this Temporary Deployment Shield made when I purchased the recipe!" ignoring the material dropped on the floor, I escaped. Running like there is no tomorrow, I quickly charge through at the side and escape without bothering about noticing the other groups around me. Of course, I am being chased, but escaping quickly is still possible, at least.
"Huh! Huh! Huh..." I looked at the intersection of the three tunnels. I stand at where I wanted to leave, but huh? Nothing happened. The chasing sound is still coming from the tunnel I came out. "Shit! Shit! Quickly transport me out from this cave!" I shouted softly, but nothing happened. "Yes! The ring! This cave is created by the ring!"
I looked at it.
"Entrance Gate reached, do you want to return?"
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
Yes
No
I answered yes, and it came out with another question.
"You will be charged with the rates of 50 Lower Grade Red Power Crystals for not being able to find an Escape Gate. Pay now?"
Yes
No
"What the hell?" I shouted, but to preserve my life, I got no choice but to choose yes. The moment I said yes, the sight around me is turned back into the room, seeing that two slave pets are still sleeping. "You two are sleeping so soundly while I just escape from death." I looked at the two and thinking about what I should do for myself, so I could improve my survival rates within this cave.
But one thing is weird about this.
I was in the Goblin Blacksmith previously when I did, so when did I come back, even appearing within my room with the two is sleeping? This is still a mystery. I took the Spike Dagger out, and take a look on its status before anything else.
Goblin Spike Dagger - Tribal Melee Weapon
Category: Goblin only Melee Weapon
Grade: Lower Grade 10
Durability: 20/20
Stats: 11 ATK / 3 ATK SPD / 1 STUN / 1 BLEED
Equipment Bonus:
Goblin Only - Double the Stats when used by a goblin.
Lower - the user will have a better spirit when fighting with this weapon.
Oh well, how could this be? I spend a total of 50 Custom Armour piece to form a pretty fine Tin Metal and temper them for a total of 12 times. It should achieve a better grade compare to this! But I did not feel too bothered by this results. Results only will get better as long I maintain such performance. I looked at the number of red crystals I've obtained from my cave.
Seven Medium Grade 10 Red Power Crystals, thirty-two Lower Grade 10 Red Power Crystals, and Twenty Broken Red Crystals. I refined the thirty lower grades one into six success, what a shock! With that thirteen medium grade crystals, I upgrade five of them to form an upper grade and keep the remaining eight.
Let's rest, for now, I will try the cave tomorrow again. I closed my eyes, and fall into a deep slumber.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, I wake up and went straight towards the Goblin Blacksmith as I crafted another nine more of the similar Goblin Spike Dagger. It felt slightly weird because no matter I use exactly 50 to 60 armour to melt into a single metal, the results are always the same stats, with no difference between each dagger.
I decided to not be bothered by that, as I went over to the Merchant square to start trading. I put the ten Goblin Spike Dagger with a total of 60 of the Goblin Warrior Crystals for sale, the stall is quickly grabbed all the goblins shopping around, and begin to gathers at my stall. "Kyak! Good dagger, good!" a Green Goblin with a scar on its eyes speaks.
Very soon, with a price of 25 Goblin Beads each dagger, it was quickly sold out. The business coincidently helps in my crystals sales as well, where within three hours, everything was sold off. The moment it was all sold off, a new notification came into my ring and forced to come out. With the merchandise for the day is sold out, I closed the stall and ran to a secretive alley before I take a look at the ring.
"Why are you being so forceful?" I whisper to myself as I take a look on the notification.
