Chapter 42 - Ore From The Mine, Giant Rock Monster

nMining has proven to be very hard for Omori. This was not easy for a person who had no prior knowledge of mining.

nThe Little Spirit Fox had sharp claws and could quickly obtain large amounts of ores. However, it would also lose a portion of her loyalty to Mcgee.

nIf it was a slave, this concern would not be a problem.

nIn the future, Mcgee would also have a very stable income from iron and copper mines.

nMcgee did not have to worry about Omori defending betraying him. With the punishment of the contract, no one would be able to go against the power of the system's rules. He only needed to give the other party enough food and water.

nHowever, even if a person took a tool, it would not be able to compare to the Little Spirit Fox's efficiency.

nMoreover, Omori's specialty was speed, not strength. With his ability, it was already considered pretty good if he could dig up ten ores in an hour.

nDigging up fifteen copper ores in a day was an impossible task.

nMcgee also deliberately did this.

nThe desire to survive forced humans to move forward.

nOnce Omori had no choice, he could only beg or work harder for his food.

nMcgee would not let him eat his fill easily. When he was full, he would think of something, and he would not let him starve. That was because when he was hungry, he would not have the energy to do anything, and when that time came, he would rebel.

nTherefore, after two hours of chores, he asked the Steel Fairy to rush to the Rift Valley to help Omori.

nIn fact, Omori went to the Rift Valley that Mcgee had instructed. After looking at the empty scene, just as Mcgee had expected, he had a feeling that he had no idea where to start.

nHow could he find copper mines in such a big place?

nThings like mineral veins were connected underground.

nWhat kind of mine would a pickaxe lead to? What kind of mines would there be in the vicinity.

nThose who did not understand could only try one area at a time to see what kind of ores could be dugout.

nThis method was extremely clumsy. Not only would it consume a lot of time, but it would also consume a lot of the pickaxe's durability.

nIn his hand, the black iron pickaxe only had a durability of 100, while Mcgee's target was 15 copper ores.

nOmori did a test. When he obtained a raw iron ore stone, the pickaxe also showed that it had 99 levels of durability left.

nThis meant that if one durability was equal to one raw stone, every time he obtained six raw stones, one of them had to be copper ore raw stone.

nOtherwise, he would not be able to complete his mission today.

n

"This is troublesome...

"

nHe frowned, feeling that this task was not that easy.

nJust as he was in a dilemma, the Steel Fairy slowly flew over with a big sweet potato in her left hand and a piece of barbecued meat in her right hand.

nShe hummed a song that she did not understand and approached him. She raised the hand that was holding the sweet potato and pointed at him, then at herself.

nOmori was stunned for a moment.

"Do you want me to follow you?

"

nThe Steel Fairy nodded and walked deeper into the Rift Valley.

nOmori quickly followed and carefully observed their surroundings.

nThe Rift Valley was filled with danger. The giant pythons that Mcgee had killed were just creatures on the periphery.

nOmori, who often roamed the outside world, naturally knew the dangers of this place.

nFortunately, they did not encounter any creatures along the way.

nThe Steel Fairy finally pointed to a place.

nIt was a big rock that protruded out of the mine.

nWhat was even stranger was that this big rock was full of cracks, as if it had been pieced together.

nOmori hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he chose to believe the Steel Fairy's judgment. So he picked up the pickaxe and started working.

nHowever, something strange happened.

nThe rock seemed to be very hard. The black-iron pickaxe could only leave faint marks on it.

nAlthough it was full of cracks, no matter how hard Omori tried, he could not pry the piece of broken rock off the rock.

n

"What's going on?

"

nOmori was stunned. Were the tools he had not strong enough to mind here?

nJust as he was about to ask the Steel Fairy to help him find another place, something strange happened!

nA slight tremor came from under his feet and gradually spread. It became more and more violent as it spread. Soon, it affected the entire mine, causing his body to fall to the side involuntarily.

nCrack!

nThe crisp and subtle sound was not obvious, but it seemed to be ringing in Omori's heart.

nHe looked at the big rock in panic and suddenly realized that the 'rock' had actually stood up!

nPieces of debris fell down continuously as it moved, and dust covered half of the mine.

nThat nearly three-meter-tall tall and sturdy body gave off an aura that warned people from entering.

nIt slowly turned its head. There were no eyeballs in its empty eye sockets, but it locked onto Omori in an instant.

nRun!

nThis was the only thought left in Omori's mind.

nThis was a monster that was at least level-5 and above. It was definitely not an existence that he could deal with.

nHowever, just as he was about to escape, a figure had already flown out of the mine ahead of him.

nIt was the Steel Fairy. She was timid. When the Giant Rock Monster's attention was on Omori, she abandoned the slave that her master had just taken in without saying a word.

nThe Giant Rock Monster's big hand tried to block it, but the Steel Fairy was very agile. She easily dodged its attack and disappeared in the direction of the cave.

nThe Giant Rock Monster roared angrily. It was obviously very angry. Naturally, it would not let another intruder go.

nOmori wanted to cry, but he had no tears. He could only brace himself and run deeper into the dangerous mine.
