Chapter 308 Return empty-handed?
In the room in front of the iron gate, the presence of the night pearl makes the whole room look bright.
It was also very bright behind the iron gate, but its brightness was not brought by the night pearls, but was emitted from the rocks on all sides.
Behind the iron gate are a series of underground passages that extend in all directions. These passages are still circular, but their diameter is only about two meters.
Unlike the underground passage in front, the passages behind the iron gate are not surrounded by soil, but some rocks that sparkle with light blue light.
These rocks should be a whole, because each passage is surrounded by this kind of rocks, and there is no soil or anything else to be seen.
In other words, these passages are actually built on a huge rock.
At first glance, the interior of these passages is all light blue, so you can imagine how large the area of this rock is.
Wang Tianyu had never seen this kind of rock that shines with light blue light before.
However, he recognized the things embedded in the rocks at a glance.
Embedded in the rock are shining energy stones. There are so many of these energy stones that they can almost be described as densely packed.
On these rock layers, there will be one or more energy stones every few centimeters.
The texture of the energy stone is pure and transparent. The light blue , after being reflected by the energy stone, gives the entire space a more dreamy feeling.
Just the energy stones that appear before our eyes are already a huge number. If we add those deep in the passage, the number of energy stones here will be even more difficult to estimate.
There are countless stars, countless, everywhere, covering the sky and the earth...
Wang Tianyu had a lot of words in his mind to describe this scene, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into the word "a lot".
There were so many energy stones in front of him that even with Wang Tianyu's current strength, he was still deeply shocked.
Wei Wenhua's performance was not much better either. Looking at the energy stones in front of him, his eyes lost focus.
Fortunately, both of them were mentally strong and were not overwhelmed by these massive amounts of energy stones.
"Go call someone over now, and we'll move here first."
There are a lot of spoils on the ground, but compared with the energy stones here, those things outside are nothing.
"I'll be right there, Captain."
Wei Wenhua nodded quickly, then turned and ran outside.
“Puff!” “Puff!”
When passing by the iron gate, Wei Wenhua looked at the injured and wailing soldiers from another world and helped them end their suffering.
After Wei Wenhua left, Wang Tianyu randomly found a passage and walked deeper.
Inside the channel, the rich energy is about to liquefy. If one can stay in here to practice, the speed of practice will be dozens of times faster.
He walked quickly along the way and stopped when he was about fifty meters deep.
Facing the rock wall, Wang Tianyu stabbed the tip of the knife into it.
"So hard?"
This glowing rock is extremely hard, and Wang Tianyu had to use quite a bit of force to pierce the weapon into it.
The long knife stabbed into the rock, then rotated a circle, and then an energy stone was dug out by the long knife.
"We only found a medium-quality energy stone from such a long distance. It seems that even in the mineral veins, medium-quality energy stones are very rare."
The energy stone that was just dug out is of medium quality. It is also the first medium quality energy stone that Wang Tianyu has found along the way.
With a thought, the energy stone turned into powder, and then the energy points in the system increased a little again.
"It turns out that it can only be absorbed if it touches the body."
Wang Tianyu tried it just now, but the system was unable to absorb the energy stone through this rock wall.
But now, as soon as he got it in his hand, the energy stone was immediately absorbed.
This means that even if the energy stones are in the veins, they must be mined so that they can be absorbed by the system.
After walking forward for about another hundred meters, the passage came to an end.
In this passage, Wang Tianyu found a total of four medium-grade energy stones, and the rest of the energy stones were only of first-grade.
Of course, these four were only found on the surface of the channel wall. If we continue digging downwards from the side of the channel, we will definitely be able to find more medium-quality energy stones.
If the energy stone vein is compared to a pomegranate, then these rock layers are the skin that protects the pomegranate seeds, and the pomegranate seeds are the energy stones.
In other words, the entire vein is filled with dense energy stones, not just the layer on the surface of the channel wall.
In fact, these channels should have been rock layers and energy stones before, but they were formed because they were mined.
When the passage reached the end, Wang Tianyu started back along the same route.
When they arrived at the iron gate, Wei Wenhua also brought people over.
Wei Wenhua was followed by dozens of people. Except for the injured and those on sentry duty, the rest of the task force were brought here.
Just like Wei Wenhua’s initial reaction, all the people who came in later also had dazed expressions on their faces at this moment.
"There are so many energy stones here, there must be hundreds of thousands of them."
"I'm afraid it's more than that. Looking at the scale, there could be millions of them."
"I'm going to get rich. If I clear this place out, I'll get a reward that will last me a lifetime."
"Haha, is this the energy stone vein? It looks so beautiful."
The members of the task force were stunned at first, but after they reacted, they exclaimed in amazement.
Finally, they all looked at Wang Tianyu with eager eyes.
"Everyone, find a place to dig. Hurry up, we can't stay here for long."
Upon hearing Wang Tianyu's order, the members of the task force immediately rushed towards those passages.
After each of them found a position, they began to use all kinds of weapons.
Long knives, giant swords, spears, and a few mining picks found outside.
These weapons are different, but in the hands of the task force members, they all have only one function, which is mining.
“Ding!” “Ding!”
Crisp crashes were heard one after another, and exclamations were immediately heard at the scene.
"So hard?"
"It takes me two tries to pry open this little bit of rock?"
"This hardness is comparable to that of thickened steel plates."
Hearing these exclamations, Wang Tianyu just shook his head.
He had just experimented with it and found that the hardness of the rock layer was such that he needed to exert some force to break it.
Faced with such hardness, the martial artists in the task force would probably not be able to hold on for long before becoming exhausted.
In other words, they couldn't move much of such a huge treasure mountain.
This is the heart of another world, and Wang Tianyu dare not stay here for too long.
The energy stones are hidden in the rock layers with incredibly hardness. The task force cannot mine many of them in a short period of time.
This scene really feels like entering a mountain of treasures but coming back empty-handed.
Just when Wang Tianyu was about to find a place to "do the hard labor", a short member of the task force ran over.
"Captain, I have a way to break through the entire rock layer."
