C1196 Heartstone Mine
C1196 Heartstone Mine
Pig Face Bat, Thousand-Legged Quake, Toxic Rock Frog, Stone Spot Centipede... They appeared and disappeared unpredictably, and it was impossible to guard against them. Only Dongfang Qingyu, if it was someone else, would really not be able to take a few steps.
Even a powerful pet like the Level 6 Devil Soldiers had died more than 200 of them before clearing out the monsters in the karst cave. Who knew how many Corpse Devil had died? If it wasn't for the fact that he was worried that the karst cave would collapse and bury him, Dongfang Qingyu almost couldn't help but want to use a top level magic a few times. He was forced to roll on the ground by the Toxic Stone Frog. He remembered that the last time he did this was in Novice Village.
It was really embarrassing.
This thing was the same as a rock. Its disguise ability was comparable to a chameleon. When it didn't move, it really thought that a rock would explode when Dongfang Qingyu passed by. It was as fast as lightning.
The monsters here should have never been killed by players before. Their experience points and occurrence rate were pretty good. However, Dongfang Qingyu's purpose here wasn't to gain experience, but to obtain Metal Breaking Hamster.
He summoned 100 Corpse Devil to defend the surroundings. Although he had swept through the karst cave once, there was no guarantee that there would be a fish that slipped through the net. There was nothing wrong with being cautious. He took out the Ore Hoe and started digging.
The name of the Ore Hoe was Whirlwind Sharp Beak Hoe. It was a Gold Ware, but its attributes were ordinary. The only thing Dongfang Qingyu was interested in was the speed of digging. It was 150% of a normal Gold Ware. Dongfang Qingyu's goal was to dig out the Metal Breaking Hamster that was hidden in the cave. The Heart-Shattering Ore was secondary.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Clang, clang...
Clank, clank, clank...

It had been a long time since he had mined. Less than half an hour had passed. My arm started to ache, and my stamina started to decrease. Mining and reclaiming land had a huge difference in difficulty. To explore land was basically mud. Soil was soft, and it was easy to dig. Ores were different. They were basically stones, and they were extremely hard. Some of the ores were harder than Ore Hoe. If the Ore Hoe was too low level, it wouldn't be able to dig out the ore even if it saw it.
Each hoe had to use up all of its strength, and it had to endure the rebounding force from the ground. The main reason was that Dongfang Qingyu's mining level was too low. Up until now, he was still a Beginner, and he was relying on the Ore Hoe of a Gold rank. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the qualifications to mine here.
An hour later, Dongfang Qingyu stopped and rested for three minutes. He ate something. The food was all top ingredients, so he quickly replenished his energy. Dongfang Qingyu knew that time was of the essence, so he just recovered his energy and continued to work with the Whirlwind Sharp Mouth Hoe. Two hours later, a large pit appeared on the ground. Dongfang Qingyu carefully observed the geological structure and dug even faster.
About ten minutes later, a black stone jumped out. A system notification sounded.
Ding! System Notification: Congratulations to player Dongfang Qingyu for mining successfully. You have obtained + 1 Heartbroken Stone, + 0.5% mining proficiency. Congratulations to player!
Dongfang Qingyu was overjoyed. This Heartstone was indeed a rare grade ore. His proficiency had increased by 0.5%. If there were more, his level would definitely increase.
The ore was only the size of a fist and its main body was black. However, if one looked closely, you'll find it covered in blood, as if it'd break apart with a light touch. However, the hardness of the Heartbroken Stone was extremely high. At least the Whirlwind Sharp Mouth Hoe that Dongfang Qingyu bought with a lot of money could not cause any damage to the Heartbroken Stone.
After digging out the Heartstone, Dongfang Qingyu's heart fell back into his stomach. Although based on his experience, he was very confident that there were ores underneath. However, it was not 100%, even if there was still 1% uncertainty. It was possible that all his efforts would be in vain. Seeing the Heartbroken Stone with his own eyes, he was worried that the clouds would disperse and the rain would disperse.
Ores would not exist in isolation. With one, there would be a second. In less than three minutes, he dug out the second one. After that, good news kept coming. The third one, the fourth one, the fifth one...

The Tricolor Light fell from the void and entered his body. Dongfang Qingyu felt his body shake, and a mysterious force flowed into every cell of his body, making him feel strong and full.
From Beginner mining man to Intermediate mining man, Dongfang Qingyu's mining speed increased by three times. Only the Whirlwind Sharp Mouth Hoe had the taste of a whirlwind. The soil flew around, and the depth of the mine increased rapidly.

Intermediate mining man could be used to extract two ores at once, allowing Dongfang Qingyu's proficiency to remain the same as before. At 5: 30 AM in the morning, Dongfang Qingyu went down with his Tornado Crunch. He felt his hand lighten, and a hole the size of a bucket appeared where the hoe landed. A ray of golden light shot out like a bolt of lightning.
Ding!
Dongfang Qingyu was no longer a rookie. He retracted his Whirlwind Sharp Mouth Hoe and blocked in front of him. He blocked the golden light in time. However, he felt his hands open and the handle of the Whirlwind Sharp Mouth Hoe was broken. It was split in half. He held the hoe in his left hand and the pole in his right. After a quick glance, Dongfang Qingyu also saw the golden light clearly. It was an enlarged version of a rat, shaped like a pig. Its fur was golden, and its fangs were extremely sharp. Its eyes were black and gold. It was even more beautiful than gemstones.
Without even thinking about it, Dongfang Qingyu knew that this was the Metal Breaking Hamster he was looking for.
The Metal Breaking Hamster was extremely agile. It bit off the Whirlwind Sharp Beak Hoe, and without any hesitation, it turned in the air and pounced towards Dongfang Qingyu's thigh with extreme speed. Unfortunately, Dongfang Qingyu was prepared for this.
"Bone Shield!"
Huala!
The sturdy Bone Shield instantly broke into pieces. The Metal Breaking Hamster broke through the broken bones, only to find that everything in front of it was empty. The target was already gone. Upon a closer look, Dongfang Qingyu had already retreated out of the hole. Standing ten meters away, he looked at it with a smile. In his hand was a coral Magic Wand. It emitted an aura that caused one's heart to palpitate.
