A few pieces of golden-yellow ore, and the corpse of a golden giant rat with golden fur all over its body.
Zhou Mingde looked at these two items and, with a quick gesture, drew one of the palm-sized ores into his hand.
After scrutinizing the ore intently, he nodded thoughtfully and said, "If I am not mistaken, this appears to be a mutated ore that has absorbed a rich concentration of earth element spiritual power by accident."
"Didn't you say that the rat's nest was close to an earth vein node? It's very likely that these mutated ores were formed by the Glowing Gold Iron ores being nourished by the power of the earth vein at its node for an extended period."
