Chapter 102 The Mine
The appearance of the giant-eyed rat was just a minor incident.
Yunhua dealt with it casually, then glanced at the cliff crevice cave behind the giant-eyed rat. The space inside was very small, and even if he could enter, he wouldn't be able to use his skills properly, so he decided to leave it alone.
As they moved forward, waves of heat swept over them, quickly drying out Yunhua's body. After taking a sip of mineral water, Yunhua carefully screwed the cap back on.
"Are there really a lot of magicians coming to this godforsaken place to pan for gold?"
Yunhua had a question in his mind. Apart from the group of people who had accompanied him in the woods, he hadn't seen a single person after walking for half a day.
Moreover, this awful weather is truly pushing the limits of human endurance. Yunhua admires the mages who can mine and hunt here year after year.
On the way to the mine, Yunhua still didn't encounter anyone else, but he did meet several demons.
A rock lizard sticks out its long tongue and licks its large eyes, as if wiping them frequently makes them brighter.
Suddenly, the giant rock lizard, three or four meters long, stopped all movement, as if it had transformed into a rock sculpture and remained motionless.
Its pupils contracted as it saw the human magician walking at the bottom of the cliff.
"Hiss~~~"
It stuck out its long tongue again, this time without wiping its eyes. The tongue stretched straight out, as if trying to identify some kind of scent. Then the monitor lizard opened its eyes, which were swaying from side to side, and looked menacing.
Hanging upside down, after determining the approximate strength and location of the human mage, it no longer hesitated and plunged straight down, as if a giant rock had fallen from the sky, or as if a meteorite had struck, diving at an extremely fast speed!
Although it looks like a "suicide" attack, these rock monitor lizards have thick rock scales on their bodies, so they are not afraid of any kind of damage. On the contrary, this is the best way for them to hunt!
The rock giant lizard's eyes lit up with joy, but then it sensed something was wrong. The sensation beneath it wasn't the familiar feeling it usually had; instead, it was a strange and powerful force.
The rock giant lizard flapped its four short legs and realized that it had been lifted up by the mage who had just discovered it!
After lifting the large lizard, Yunhua changed the position of her hands, grabbed its tail, and then unleashed a self-sacrificing windmill attack.
Yunhua transformed himself into a spinning top, and the rock giant lizard spun around continuously under Yunhua's power, its head crashing into one hard rock after another on the mountain.
Once the speed reached its limit, Yunhua released the rock giant lizard and flung it away. The rock giant lizard slammed heavily to the ground, creating a spider web.
However, such a collision was nothing to this rock giant lizard. Although a few stars were still flashing on its head, it was able to stand up again.
The rock giant lizard was furious when its attack failed. It stuck out its long, snake-like tongue and slowly turned around.
"This is... an advanced-stage demon?"
After the close encounter, Yunhua determined the level of this rock giant lizard.
Of course, this must be a slave-level demon that is about to advance to the warrior level.
Compared to servant-level demons, this giant rock lizard was already extremely strong, but it was no match for Yunhua, a mid-level mage.
Even though it was covered in thick rock scales, it could not withstand the terrifying violence from a mid-level mage.
Yunhua didn't use a mid-level flame, but instead released a few fireballs to test the waters first.
"roar!"
Amidst the flames, the rock giant lizard nearly went mad, unleashing its sorcery. Rocks began to crawl onto its body from under its four large feet, seemingly replenishing the scattered rocks on its body.
Finally, the annoying flames died down, and to everyone's astonishment, the rock giant lizard was almost unharmed. It trampled through the flames and came forward, seemingly ready to devour its prey!
"Are you alright? In that case, try this one too—Fierce Fist: Heaven-Shattering Strike!"
The dazzling, scorching flames were like a giant fist imprint. The wolf violently exploded on the rock giant lizard, sending the massive lizard flying and crashing into a cliff face. The mountainside collapsed, burying most of the rock giant lizard.
"Roar~"
The rock lizard let out a deep roar; it was utterly enraged, but its mind was trying to calm down and think things through.
With a burst of power from its muscles, the rock giant lizard broke free of its restraints and charged towards Yunhua once more, like a giant tank, its momentum surging and overwhelming!
However, Yunhua used her agile movements to dodge all the attacks, maintaining a precise distance from the rock giant lizard.
At this moment, Yunhua seemed to have become a bullfighter, and the rock giant lizard was the bull being toyed with!
The giant rock lizard swept past repeatedly, yet it did not harm Yunhua in the slightest, seemingly transforming from a ferocious beast into a comedian.
After walking around for a long time, even though the rock monitor lizard has amazing stamina, it became increasingly exhausted with each exertion, and once it even accidentally bumped its head.
Seeing that the opponent was almost unable to fight, Yunhua stopped holding back and decided to finish it off completely.
"Fierce Fist - Heaven-Shattering!"
The enormous fiery fist of the wolf slammed into the rock giant lizard, instantly sending shards of rock flying. Not only that, but the terrifying flames also scorched its body from the inside out, from top to bottom.
Yunhua smelled a strong aroma of burning food, which actually made her feel a little hungry!
Then Yunhua pried open the rock giant lizard's mouth and shoved a fireball into its large mouth. A low, cracking sound rang out, and a few wisps of black smoke emerged from the rock giant lizard's mouth, clearly indicating that the rock giant lizard was dead.
Unfortunately, this giant rock lizard didn't drop any unusual bones, blood, or skin, nor even its essence. Yunhua could only give up in disappointment, lamenting his bad luck.
After eliminating the giant rock lizard, Yunhua decided to rest for a while as a precaution. She found a slightly larger crevice in the cliff, one without any downward cracks at the back, to rest and recover her strength.
After feeling fully recovered, Yunhua set off again and this time arrived at her destination, a huge open-pit mine, without any problems.
What should have been small hills have all been leveled, and a huge pit has been dug down into them.
However, it can no longer be called a "pit" now; it has practically turned into a small basin!
The lowest point is probably hundreds of meters above the ground, and its area is incredibly vast. If a heavy rain were to fall, it would turn into a large lake.
It is like a giant, one-eyed creature, its eyes filled with devastation, gazing at the heavens, completely out of place with its surroundings.
This is the magic stone mine in the Falling Wind Mountains. It contains abundant wind-type magic stones, which are essential for crafting many wind-type magical tools.
Moreover, it's not just magic stones; there are many other precious resources that accompany it, such as wind crystals, wind awakening stones, and guide stones, all of which are precious resources that should never be given up!
