Han Shuo spent the next few days in the Cemetery of Death, studying the book of 'Basic Necromancy' on the one hand, and taking care of the 'Primordial Demon Cave' on the other.
Utilising the round green orb that was most likely from the cemetery of death, Han Shuo would receive a huge increase in mental strength while experiencing a high degree of agony and pain in his mind.
However, with the increased use of the round green ball, Han Shuo could clearly feel that his mental strength was not growing as fast as before. It looked like this strange round green ball couldn't help him forever. As the number of times he used it increased, the benefit that Han Shuo received became less and less.
One day, Han Shuo meditated for a while and left the cemetery after infusing the 'Original Demon Cave' with his blood and magic yuan.
After investigating the area where he last encountered the dwarves, Han Shuo finally found the tracks of a dwarf. He followed the dwarf's tracks, maintaining his composure. After walking for a while, he finally discovered that the dwarf tracks had stopped in front of a very hidden cave entrance.
There was lush brush near the entrance, and the surroundings had obviously been tidied up. If a dwarf hadn't pushed the large patch of leaves aside, Han Shuo wouldn't have been able to tell that there was a cave here.
After watching the cave entrance for a while, Han Shuo noticed that several dwarves had appeared nearby. They were holding iron spades and hammers as they entered the cave. After a short while, the dwarf who'd given Han Shuo the bag of beer, Bennett, was helped out of the cave by two dwarves. He seemed to be injured.
A faint sound came from afar. Han Shuo's ears were sharp and he could immediately tell that it was probably the sound of magical creatures approaching. He crouched down on the branch of a large tree and waited for a while. Shortly after, he saw two Windblade Wolves slowly approaching in the distance.
His thoughts moving, Han Shuo snapped one of the dry branches from the large tree and threw it towards the bushes next to the cave entrance. The sound of the dry branch falling to the ground obviously attracted the attention of the Windblade Wolves. The two moved to the sound, padding softly and quickly as they changed direction, heading for the dwarves' cave entrance.
As Bennett and the other two dwarves looked around after hearing the movement, the two Windblade Wolves had already appeared in their line of sight.
"Oh, damn it. It's Windblade Wolves. Let's hurry and get back to the cave!" The injured Bennett involuntarily groaned at the sight of the two Windblade Wolves and decided to return to the cave.
"Bennett, it's too crowded in there. If these two Windblade wolves follow us into the cave, then those inside will be killed.
." One of the dwarves shook the hammer in his hand as he heard Bennett's words.
Bennett thought for a moment after hearing his words, "Mm, then we'll kill those two damned Windblade Wolves at the door."
"No way, it's impossible for the three of us. I think we should let the dwarves in the cave stop mining for now and join forces to kill the two Windblade Wolves." The dwarf said.
At that moment, Han Shuo suddenly jumped down from the big tree, arched his body on the ground, and rushed out like lightning. After revealing himself in the distant bushes, he nimbly dashed towards the two Windblade Wolves. The dagger in his hand was like a bolt of cold lightning as it shot towards one of the Windblade Wolves. Han Shuo followed close behind with the speed of a cheetah, facing the other Windblade Wolf with his bare hands.
The two Windblade Wolves had stared at the three dwarves as fiercely as a tiger and had their backs to Han Shuo. The back of one of them had already taken a hit from the violent thrust of Han Shuo's dagger. The other Windblade Wolf turned and sent a whistling blade of wind towards Han Shuo. As Han Shuo made his high speed dash, he suddenly changed direction and magically dodged the wind blade's attack, his body already dashing in front of the Windblade Wolf.
The wolf that had released the wind blade showed no sign of weakness as it raised its sharp claws and lunged at Han Shuo when it saw that the enemy was close. A crossbow bolt from his left sleeve shot first towards the Windblade Wolf's claws, and Han Shuo smashed down on its head with a fist imbued with the glacial air from the 'Mystical Glacial Spellfire'.
With a shrill scream, the Windblade Wolf fell stiffly to the ground like a block of frozen flesh, cold air emanating from its body.
On the other side, the dwarves suddenly hurled the sharp axes in their hands at the other Windblade Wolf. However, the strength of the two dwarves was clearly inferior to Han Shuo's. The thrown axe didn't travel too fast, and the injured Windblade Wolf was actually able to dodge it.
However, although it could dodge the axes of the two dwarves, it couldn't dodge Han Shuo's crossbow bolt. Finally, the Windblade Wolf couldn't get away and fell down listlessly.
"Oh, brave friend, you've saved Bennett again! How can I ever thank you?" The injured Bennett cried out involuntarily as he saw Han Shuo dispatch the two Windblade Wolves and called out to him loudly.
After relieving the Windblade Wolves of their magical cores and pelts in a practiced manner. Han Shuo waved his hand and smiled, "You shouldn't thank me, those two Windblade Wolves were my prey to begin with! Not only did I not help you, it was your two friends who helped me with their axes!"
"You're too polite. Eh, don't you want the bodies?" One of the dwarves asked in surprise when he saw Han Shuo take only their magical cores and pelts, but showed no interest in the corpses.
"Yes, I just need the Windblade Wolf cores and pelts. That way I can sell them for a good price."
"Then, dear friend, could you give us their bodies?"
"Of course, but what do you want them for? They're not worth much."
"The bodies of the Windblade Wolves can be used to prepare food." Bennett looked at Han Shuo strangely and explained. "For us, the flesh of the Windblade Wolves is a very precious delicacy!"
Han Shuo had eaten Windblade Wolf meat before, but he'd found it dry and hard to chew. It didn't seem to be a delicious kind of meat... who would have thought that the dwarves would be interested in it. Han Shuo found it rather strange when he heard Bennett's words, but the dwarves weren't human, maybe their habits were different from human habits, Han Shuo thought.
"Right, what are you doing here?" Han Shuo asked.
"This is a mining cave we discovered. It contains some copper and iron ore. However, it often collapses inside and large stones fall down from above. Mining is extremely difficult and dangerous, and many tribesmen have been injured. One tribesman was crushed to death yesterday. I was also accidentally hit just now and had to come out. Bennett seemed to be kind to Han Shuo as he blurted out the secret the dwarves were hiding without hesitation.
The other two dwarves had tried to stop Bennett, but realised that Bennett had already finished before they'd had a chance to speak. They blew on their beards and glared at Bennett, as if to admonish his nonchalant mouth.
"So that's the case. If you don't mind, I can help you with the mining. I think with my help, a lot of the dangers for you will decrease." Han Shuo's thoughts raced as he suggested with a smile.
"No, it's too dangerous in there. You'd be crushed by the rocks if you went in. If you happened to run into a widespread collapse, you wouldn't be able to get out and would be trapped to your death." Bennett offered a warning in good faith.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything myself. I'm a necromancer and can summon necromancer creatures. There won't be any problems if the necromancy creatures go in and mine for you." Han Shuo smiled.
"I see, then let me go in and discuss it with them to see if they agree." Bennett thought for a moment, agreed and went back into the cave with the two dwarves helping him.
After a while, one of the dwarves came out and said politely to Han Shuo, "Noble friend, we are willing to share the secrets of this cave with you. Please come in and mine this cave with us!"
Happiness making its way to his heart, Han Shuo humbly said, "Thank you for your trust, I'm very happy to work with you."
After speaking, the dwarf dragged the bodies of the two Windblade Wolves into the cave
and covered the cave with tree leaves together with Han Shuo, finally entering the cave with Han Shuo.
