One by one, the skeletons began to awaken from their slumber.
They picked up their once-abandoned weapons, and with their stiff bodies, they slowly stood up.
Upon spotting the sudden intruders, they paused for two or three seconds picked up the weapons next to them, and started to advance towards their’ enemies step by step.
From their appearance, it was clear.
The skeleton warriors here were better equipped than those exterminated at the entrance of the mine.
However, even the most exquisite weapons, buried for so long, had already decayed unrecognizably.
Fang Hao glanced back. They had ventured deep into the mine, even branching off to a different path.
They could no longer see the entrance of the mine.
The idea to lure these skeletons back and annihilate them with the Bone Dragon’s breath was pretty inconvenient.
He wasn’t sure if the mine could withstand another Dragon Breath.
Roughly estimating, there were about sixty to seventy skeletons. Dealing with them should be no problem for the skeleton trolls.
After thinking it over, Fang Hao gave a direct order, “Prepare for battle, eliminate all the enemies.”
Having said that, he flapped his wings and flew off the shoulder of the skeleton troll.
Upon receiving the command, the skeleton troll held its weapon aloft, heading towards the direction of the enemies too.
As the two sides approached, the skeleton trolls began to run.
Ten trolls running with great strides caused the mine to tremble slightly.
Boom boom boom!
The skeleton trolls, like crazed bulls, directly rushed into the camp of the enemy skeletons.
Their Wolf Fang Clubs were raised high, swinging with full force.
In the face of enormous power, skeletons were continuously being sent flying slid down after hitting the walls, and ended up as piles of white bones.
The enemy skeletons were not without combat power, either.
Their longswords slashed onto the armor of the skeleton trolls from all directions, causing a ringing sound.
Fang Hao watched from afar.
In his Gray Sparrow form, his consciousness compatibility was high, but he didn’t possess much attackpower.
He couldn’t contribute much in the battlefield.
Thankfully, the trolls were indeed brave, taking down a large number of enemy skeletons.
When the last skeleton was broken into bone powder with a mighty swing the mine suddenly fell silent.
“Clean up the battlefield, see if there are any treasure chests, and ship all the ores out,” Fang Hao said aloud.
With no rest after the big fight, the skeleton trolls continued to follow Fang
Hao s orders and started to collect the spoils of war.
An old mining cart was pushed over.
The mining cart, left with only one wheel, was pushed with brute force by the troll, producing a harsh noise as it rubbed against the rail.
“Stop, this is torturing,” Fang Hao landed on the mining cart, speaking to the troll.
Meanwhile, upon landing on the mining cart, Fang Hao received information from the ores.
[Stone 45, iron 12, Copper 6, Mithril 4.]
Mithril?
A spark ignited in Fang Hao’s heart instantly.
Whether it was the Pigman Mine or the Frostwind Mountain Range Mine, ore extraction was taking place.
But neither of these places had produced any mithril.
Could it be that this mine could extract mithril?
Mithril is a scarce material widely used in magic artifacts.
It was needed in the creation of Wugen magic wands and alchemist embroidered robes.
Indeed, for Fang Hao to progress his development of magic, or for the large- scale equipment of the Mage Corps, he had to have a sustained way of acquiring mithril ores. 6
And this mine in front of him gave him hope.
“Stop pushing the cart, just carry the ore out,” Fang Hao said.
The skeleton troll in front of him, leaving behind the mining cart with just one wheel remaining, carried the ore towards the direction of the exit.
Fang Hao continued to fly towards another mining cart.
[Stone 55, Iron 18, Mithril 8.)
[Stone 42, Iron 9, Copper 5, Mithril 1.]
[Stone 57, Iron 36.]
Fang Hao continued to receive information from several more places, whether from the mining carts or the ore piles scattered about.
Mithril can basically be found everywhere.
Fang Hao felt his heart pounding violently. He could confirm that this was indeed a mine where Mithril could be excavated.
“Move the ores out, and do it quickly.” Fang Hao urged them on.
He wished he could immediately clear out the mine and organize manpower to mine Mithril.
The Skeleton Troll hastened its pace, moving all the collected loot outside the cave.
As the loot was cleared away.
However, no treasure chest had been moved.
Unbelieving, Fang Hao circled the entire space himself, yet saw no trace of the coveted treasure chest.
There must be a chest.
If not here, then it should be on the other forked path.
Outside the cave.
Ores and the loot from the skeletons were piled up in categories.
Fang Hao flew out to increase his forces back to 30.
Then, he entered the mine again.
This time, at the fork, Fang Hao and the Skeleton Troll went directly to the right.
The narrow corridor was smooth and regularly hewn.
Traces of burnt torches could be seen on the wall every few meters.
They moved forward for more than ten meters.
Then they entered another spacious hall, almost identical to the left one.
Compared to the left side used for mining, this place seemed more like a storage facility for tools or an administrative office.
One could easily identify the decayed tables and chairs, as well as various mining tools in the corners.
As they entered the hall, familiar sounds were heard again.
Splash splash!
A large number of skeletons stood up again.
Armed with rusty weapons, they launched an attack on the group.
Whoosh!!
Woof!
A trail of orange-red magic arrows flew in from behind the Skeleton Warriors.
It was a fire arrow.
However, its aim seemed off, hitting the rock wall five meters beside them, sparks flying.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
More magic arrows exploded, illuminating the dark mine like fireworks.
A fire arrow exploded next to Fang Hao, the ignited stones instantly breaking one of his bird’s legs.
Although he couldn’t feel the pain, his body instantly tilted to one side.
Fang Hao flapped his wings, steadying himself while taking this opportunity to get a clear view of the enemies in the distance.
Behind the approaching Skeleton Warriors stood a team of Undead Mages.
The staves in their hands were almost worn out, and their robes were more like rags hanging on them.
“Ten of you follow me, the rest attack. Eliminate all enemies.”
Magical arrows kept exploding around him.
Fang Hao loudly gave orders.
Twenty Skeleton Trolls launched an attack on the Skeleton Warriors, while
Fang Hao, flapping his wings, led a ten-man squad around to outflank the Undead Mages in the rear.
Even though the Undead Mages were of a higher level.
Their intelligence was still not high.
Their magic was continuously consumed against the Trolls straight ahead of them, causing casualties on their own side in close combat.
Soon, Fang Hao and his ten Trolls circled around to the side of the Undead Mages.
“Attack, kill those mages,” Fang Hao shouted.
The Skeleton Trolls charged, plunged head-first in, swinging their Wolf Fang
Clubs and axes, killing the Undead Mages.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle,
Half an hour later, the battle ended.
“Clean the battlefield, find the treasure chest,” Fang Hao ordered while standing on one leg.
