Assam's resolute face frowned in pain.
After a moment, he also felt an extra force in his body, with surprise in his eyes.
"So, this is what the Lord intended? It's amazing."
"Thank you for the whipping, respected lord!"
Asam said respectfully.
At this time, Assam said a little embarrassedly: "Lord, can you please spank me a few more times?"
"Assam wants to become even stronger!"
Cao Xing shook his head and said, "No, only the first whipping will be effective."
Hearing this, Assam nodded with some regret.
The people next to them, listening to their conversation, were completely confused.
Although I know that Cao Xing's actions may have some purpose, it is still a bit too strange.
Cao Xing knew that they had misunderstood, so he coughed twice and then explained to them the effect of the whip.
After hearing this, everyone's eyes showed a look of enlightenment.
At this time, Cao Xing said: "Well, Andrew, Sarah, let me also give you additional blessings."
Andrew and Sarah looked at each other and nodded.
Cao Xing pulled them out one by one.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
In this deep mine, the sound of whips was heard.
Andrew was fine, as he had thick skin and the pain had little effect on him.
Sarah, who was standing beside her, was trembling slightly.
When it was Liu Muxue's turn, she looked at the whip in Cao Xing's hand with some fear and whispered, "Ah Xing... me, do I want one too?"
Cao Xing thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, 10% movement speed is a significant improvement."
"Besides, you only need to be hit once. Just bear with it and it will pass."
Liu Muxue thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes."
Cao Xing didn't have any extra thoughts and just whipped him.
"Hmm!"
Liu Muxue let out a muffled groan and then looked at Cao Xing pitifully.
"It… it hurts…"
Looking at this scene, Cao Xing couldn't help but think of what happened last night, and his blood boiled for a moment.
But he soon calmed down.
Cao Xing coughed twice and said, "The status has been improved, let's move on."
Andrew and Assam continued to move forward.
There is a railway track in the passage, extending deeper into the tunnel.
As Cao Xing moved along the route, he collected the rails on the ground.
[Rail +1]
[Rail +1]
Not long after walking, Cao Xing had already collected hundreds of meters of railroad tracks!
Even if it is broken down into iron, there are hundreds of pieces!
Cao Xing said happily: "If I pick up some more rails, I can connect that coal mine to my territory, and the speed of collecting resources will be greatly increased."
Just then, a fork in the road appeared in the mine ahead.
The intersection on the left seemed to lead deep into the mine, and the roar of machines could be faintly heard from inside.
The intersection on the right was blocked with wooden boards and a red 'X' was painted on it.
This seems to be a restricted area.
Everyone stopped where they were, waiting for Cao Xing's decision.
Cao Xing thought for a moment and said, "Andrew, take down the board, I'll see what's inside first."
Andrew obeyed the order and swung his huge bear claws at him.
"Crack! Crack!"
The wooden board was smashed directly, revealing the scene inside the mine.
Cao Xing saw that there seemed to be several collapsed mine cars in the mine ahead, and there were some excavated ores scattered on the ground next to them.
It seemed that the group of mole people encountered some situation and had no time to evacuate, so they stayed here.
Sarah in the shadows suddenly said, "I sense a dangerous aura in there..."
Cao Xing frowned after hearing this.
Sarah is a level 20 elite monster, and even she feels dangerous, which means there is some kind of terrible creature inside.
Cao Xing said, "Sarah, go check it out."
Sarah nodded and simply disappeared into the shadows.
A minute later, Sarah reappeared and said, "Detection complete. There is a second-level monster's lair inside."
"Second level monster, how strong is it?"
Sarah thought for a moment and replied, "He should be as strong as me."
Cao Xing nodded suddenly.
On par with Sarah, it is a level 20 elite monster.
Cao Xing asked: "Are you sure you can handle it?"
Sarah thought for a moment and replied, "With the Lord's additional blessing, it shouldn't be a problem."
"If we cooperate with these two companions, we will basically have a sure win."
After hearing this, Cao Xing felt certain.
"Very good, let's go straight in!"
After saying that, Andrew and Assam walked directly towards the mine on the right.
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue followed behind.
He soon came to one of the collapsed mine carts with some ore scattered around.
Cao Xing directly packed up the ore on the ground along with the mine cart and took it away.
[Obtained Mine Cart*1, Iron Ore*31, Cursed Metal*7, Mithril Ore*8, Magic Stone*17, Stone*64...]
"Huh? So much mithril and magic stones?" Cao Xing was delighted.
You know, these are all high-grade materials and are very valuable.
Cao Xing began to look into the past.
[Iron Ore: Can be processed in an ore processing plant. 1 piece of ore can be processed into 5 pieces of iron]
[Cursed Metal: A metal that incorporates the resentment of the dead]
(Can be used to make some evil alchemical items.)
[Mithril Ore: Can be processed in an ore processing plant. 1 piece of Mithril Ore can be processed into 3 pieces of Mithril]
(Note: Level 3 Ore Processing Plant is required)
[Magic Stone: A stone that contains energy and can provide energy for some special devices. ]
…
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction and looked at the other mine carts on the ground.
Then pack it all up and take it away.
[Obtained Mine Cart*1, Iron Ore*42, Cursed Metal*9, Mithril Ore*7, Magic Stone*19, Stone*72...]
In addition to these, the railway tracks on the ground are not spared.
[Get 42 rails, get 7 abandoned minecarts, get...]
…
Cao Xing followed Andrew Assam all the way, and then packed up the various minerals on the ground and took them away.
Liu Muxue was also helping to collect.
While picking up the ores, he said with a delighted smile: "Axing, there are so many iron ores and mithril ores!"
Cao Xing nodded. "This trip is really rewarding. Just these ores and mine carts are worth the trip."
Liu Muxue's face also showed the joy of harvest.
Obviously, the Mole Man Mines is a high-level area.
At least with the current strength of the survivors, there is no way for them to get in.
And Cao Xing, because he has three generals under his command, is able to enter the Mole Man Mine to search for treasure at this level.
The harvest can be said to be quite fruitful.
So far, Cao Xing has collected nearly two hundred sections of rails.
Fortunately, the survivor's [backpack] function has 20 grids of storage space, and materials of the same type like this can be stacked together into 400 pieces.
Large items like minecarts can be stacked up to 100 times, taking up only 1 grid of space.
The carry-on backpack is quite large.
Everyone started to move forward.
Until they reached the depths of the passage.
The light here is dim.
However, as Cao Xing took out the magic stone torch from his backpack, the darkness inside was immediately dispelled.
They noticed that there were some white spider webs on the top and sides of the mine.
The further you go in, the denser the spider webs become.
There were even some large nets that filled the passage, blocking everyone's way.
At the same time, an evil and powerful aura came towards him!
