“Hehe, now you know that exploring the dark region is not a fun thing, right?” While camping, Jillim teased Qin Lun and the others bluntly, “However, there’s nothing we can do now. We’re already here. We won’t return to the camp until we run out of supplies!”

“I really don’t know how those dark Elves of prehistoric times adapted when they were first expelled from the surface into the dark region!” Mustacha muttered with a bitter smile, “If I were in this kind of environment, I wouldn’t need a month to lose my mind.”

“Do you think the current Zhuo Er Elves doesn’t have any mental disorders or mental distortions?” Idrea rolled her eyes and couldn’t help but say.

“However, I still have some good news for everyone. According to several prospecting experts on the team, we should be not far from the Mining Area of the Miyin Hall.” Lorraine approached the campfire and said mysteriously.

“That’s good!” Little Dwarves’s words caused everyone, including Apostle, to breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, the pleasant surprise came sooner than everyone expected. On the afternoon of the next day, a few prospecting experts sent good news that the exploration team had reached the outskirts of the Silver Hall Mining Area!

“This place is really hard to walk!” Apostle, the daughter of the Weiss team, supported her staff and bent down to breathe heavily. Amongst all of them, her physique was the weakest, and even a black-robed mage was inferior.

As for the other women in the team, Elizabeth was a druid. Although she looked soft and weak, each druid’s physique was very tall. They were close to nature and accustomed to living alone in the forest. How could their physiques be bad?

Masta Xia was a highland Elves. The place where she was born was a rocky place with a physique comparable to that of a barbarian woman. Otherwise, the other Elves would not call her Barbarian Elves.

Idria needless to say, her profession was a knight, and she was a follower of Lauvita. Any painful experience would be regarded as a temper of her own faith.

“Do you need a hand, Miss Lorita!” Qin Lun turned to look at her and smiled gently.

After the Ratman Tribe fought together, the relationship between the two teams, Apostle, became much more harmonious. Everyone had a new understanding of each other. The female Apostle of the Weiss team was called Lorita, the black-robed mage was called Romon, the shield guard was called Newton, and the thief nicknamed Monkey was called Biba.

The female priest shook her head and declined. As a Second Grade Apostle, she had her own pride and didn’t want to be a burden to the team.

However, this could not be blamed on the female priest’s poor physique. It was really because the path the expedition team was taking was too rugged.

They were currently walking along a winding “mountain path”. They said that it was a mountain path, but in fact, there was no road at all. It was only a little bit better than climbing a cliff. Everyone was using both hands and feet to climb up the rocky ground below their feet. Some landing spots were even the size of palms, while some corners were even suspended in midair.

If it weren’t for the fact that the members of the expedition team were all professionals and that the legendary experts and druids were watching over them at all times, they would have probably fallen to their deaths long ago.

The terrain in the dark region was much more complicated than the surface. Qin Lun had lost his sense of direction long ago. On the whole, the terrain of this dark region gave them the feeling that it was a huge bubble formed between layers of rock.

Some of these bubbles were even as vast as the plains, while others were like pores in cheese, like the rat-man cave they had seen before. These bubbles and the tunnels connecting them form the landscape of this gloomy region.

They were currently climbing up the edge of a large bubble. Fortunately, this rock was not a 90-degree cliff or a concave arch. Otherwise, the difficulty would be even greater.

According to Lorraine, after climbing up this rock layer, he should be able to find a mining area in the Mithril Hall. With the resources that the exploration team had brought with them, they would probably be able to find a future camp in the mining area.

This camp would play an important role in defeating Shadow Dragon and Grey Dwarves and occupying Michigan Hall. On the Apostle side, as long as one of Jillim and Lorraine confirmed the Mining Area and returned safely to their previous camps, their mission would be completed satisfactorily.

To everyone’s surprise, the rock in front of them did not reach the top in the end. When the Dwarves prospecting expert leading the way was about to see the top of the rock, he actually led his team into a deep tunnel.

This tunnel was tortuous and narrow. The members of the exploration team could only crawl on the ground and advance. Now, even Qin Lun began to complain to himself.

The two Elves beauties in the team turned green and began to speak nonsense. They only felt as if the narrow walls around them were about to collapse and bury everyone alive.

Qin Lun sighed and winked at Rand behind him. He knocked Masta Xia and Elistine unconscious. These two beauties had obvious signs of claustrophobia. If they were allowed to continue climbing down the tunnel, they might leave behind a huge psychological shadow in the future.

The tunnels in this rock layer were a little wet. Qin Lun climbed for a while and felt his entire body wet and uncomfortable. Fortunately, this path wasn’t long. After climbing for nearly a few hundred meters, the tunnel finally began to expand, and a huge stalactite cave appeared in front of him.

The area of this cave was huge. Qin Lun sized it up and estimated that it was the size of a football field. There were more than ten tunnels of various sizes connected to the surrounding rock walls.

“My head hurts!” Elistine, who was under Qin Lun’s arm, rubbed his head and woke up. He looked around blankly.

However, Elves druid quickly woke up and stood up with a red face.

“Eh, there seems to be wind nearby!” Elves, who was very sensitive to wind elements, cried out in surprise.

“Well, it seems that it’s not far from the Dwarves’ destination!” Looking at the chattering and excited dwarves in front of him, Qin Lun had a premonition and smiled.

“Ferrari, we found it!” Facts proved that Qin Lun’s premonition was correct. Lorraine quickly ran over with an excited expression.

“Have you found the fork connecting the mining area?” Apostle, including Qin Lun, heaved a sigh of relief.

“Yes, although we haven’t confirmed it yet, there are traces of heavy water burning in two of the tunnels in this cave!” Lorraine grinned.

“Heavy water?” Qin Lun was a little puzzled. The Dwarves’ professional words couldn’t even translate the specific meaning of the Broken Star System. Of course, he didn’t understand.

“Oh, heavy water is the ore solvent that we used for preliminary processing after we collected the ore.” Lorraine didn’t care and explained to Qin Lun and the others who were listening with their ears pricked up.

“Some of the ores we just dug out are too big, but when they can’t be broken with a mine pick, we’ll use heavy water to melt the impurities.” Lorraine shrugged his shoulders and continued, “However, heavy water is very corrosive. Normally, the channels that drain heavy water leave indelible traces. This is the type of traces that appear in the tunnels here.”

“Is there any danger?” Wei Si, who had a steady disposition, hurriedly asked.

“It won’t. Although there will be some poisonous gas after the heavy water evaporates, our ancestors paid great attention to the ventilation conditions.” Lorraine said confidently, “Besides, those two tunnels have been abandoned for hundreds of years, so how could there be heavy water left?”

“Ferrar!” After discussing with the ore-seeking expert, Jillim walked over from afar with a relaxed expression. “Moradin, thank you for your help. We’re finally going to succeed!”

“This is what we should do!” Qin Lun replied humbly.

“Ferrari, I apologize for the original misunderstanding. All along the way, your efforts have been seen by all Dwarves.” Old Dwarf looked very happy and blew his beard. “You’re as pretentious as all Elves, but you’re sincere when your friends really need you!” He shouted.

“Lord Jillim, should I apologize for this?” Qin Lun rubbed his nose with a bitter smile. Dwarves’s words sounded more sarcastic than complimentary.

“Call me Jillim. All Shield Dwarves are your friends, Filar!” It was the first time that Old Dwarf’s bearded expression made people feel so cute.

“Alright, Jillim!” Qin Lun smiled and nodded. “When are you planning to attack the Mithril Hall after finding the Mithril Hall mine?” He asked tentatively.

“It depends on Bruno’s arrangements, but I don’t think it will be that fast.” After pondering for a moment, Old Dwarf decided to tell the truth, “There are not only Shadow Dragons in the Silver Hall, but also King Gray Dwarves and the entire Gray Dwarves Tribe. There may be a war that will last for several months.”

Old Dwarf shook his head as if he was going to shake off all his worries. He smiled and said, “You’d better not get involved in the future. Your friendship with Shield Dwarves is enough for King Dwarves to consider forming an alliance with Anke Elves. After all, Elves was Dwarves’s ally in the fight against evil in the Ancient Era, and we have never forgotten that.”

“Jillim, have you forgotten? You just said that I treat my friends sincerely.” Qin Lun said with a serious face, “If you think I’ve done so much just to form an alliance, you’re looking down on me. No matter what purpose I have, at least in helping my friends, I will persevere to the end, even if I have to sacrifice my life.”

What a joke! Qin Lun didn’t only work hard for a predecessor branch of the epic plot, he also hoped that he could obtain the world’s token and return to complete the Mithril Hall plot in the future!

Despite the breakthroughs of the expedition, the dwarves did not daze with joy. Today’s exploration had exhausted everyone’s energy. They planned to rest in the cave for a day before exploring the tunnel filled with traces of heavy water corrosion.

Twelve hours passed in a hurry, and the expedition team packed up again and entered the tunnel that was considered to be a heavy canal.

On the surface of the tunnel, Qin Lun discovered many long and thin holes. It was indeed very similar to traces of corrosive liquid flowing through them. The tunnel that the dwarves called the heavy canal was not long, but at the edge of the exit of the tunnel, a few Dwarves, who were exploring the road ahead, suddenly ran back in a hurry.

Upon receiving the report, Jillim’s expression quickly became serious as he walked towards Qin Lun.

“Jillim, what’s wrong?” Qin Lun’s heart sank, and he could vaguely feel that what he was worried about a few days ago had happened.

“Ferrari, I need your help!” Old Dwarf said as he looked at a Apostle behind him.
