1080 The Devil


    Hearing Argyll’s shout, the hostility of the cave-dwelling beasts seemed to have reduced a little, and they also responded with a gurgling sound.


    Fang Heng looked at Argyllmunicating with this group of cave-dwelling beasts.


    However, it seemed that Argyll’s skills were not very good. After talking and gesturing for a long time, the cave-dwelling beasts still looked a little confused.


    Mo Jiawei was getting a little impatient. He walked to Argyll’s side and asked in a low voice, “How is it? What did they say?”


    “They’re a small team responsible for transporting ores and supplies nearby. They were transporting a batch of important supplies when they were attacked by the horned dragon beast halfway.”


    Argyll nodded and continued, “He thanked us for our help. I asked him where we could meet their leader, but he didn’t seem willing to take us there. He said something strange. It seems that the earth vein has encountered a major crisis recently…”


    As he spoke, Argyll’s brows furrowed tightly. He looked at the cave-dwelling beast in front of him, which was constantly making rumbling sounds, and his face showed a puzzled expression.


    “Hurry up,” Mikhael urged. “Just tell him that the Princess of the Empire wants to talk to their leader.”


    “Alright, I’ll try.”


    Argyll nodded again and gave Tang Mingyue a questioning look.


    “Yes, I’ll do it.”


    Tang Mingyue had the self-awareness of being a tool, and she walked to Argyll’s side as support.


    Argyll cleared his throat and was about to say something when suddenly, the team leader of the cave-dwelling beasts became nervous after noticing Tang Mingyue. He raised his spear and pointed it at her.


    After staring at Tang Mingyue for more than ten seconds, the team leader became extremely excited again. He waved the spear in his hand randomly and growled threateningly.


    Some of the other cave-dwelling beasts were also acting strangely. They became visibly nervous, and even their hands holding the bone spears were trembling.


    What did that mean? Why were they reacting so strongly?


    Tang Mingyue was a little confused.


    “Gulu Gulu!!!”


    Just as Argyll was wondering, the leader of the cave-dwelling beasts suddenly let out a howl, and the dozen or so of the beasts behind him turned around and ran.


    The cave-dwelling beasts ran in a panic as if they had discovered something extremely terrifying. They even abandoned the supplies they were transporting, and some even threw away the weapons in their hands, fleeing in all directions.


    Did they run away?


    It had happened so suddenly that Mikhael did not have time to react and chase after them.


    In the blink of an eye, the cave-dwelling beasts scattered like birds and beasts, quickly disappearing into the depths of the cave.


    Eh…


    Didn’t someone say that they were transporting very important materials?


    The crowd could not help but look at Tang Mingyue.


    They were still chatting happily at the beginning. Why did it change after seeing Tang Mingyue?


    Were they so scared that they didn’t even want their materials?


    Wasn’t this change in attitude a little too fast?


    “Meh?” Tang Mingyue was also confused. “Why are you all looking at me?”


    Mo Jiawei frowned, adjusted his wording, and asked carefully, “After all, humans and the cave-dwelling beasts in the catbs have different aesthetic standards. Could it be that they think you’re too ugly? Did you scare them?”


    “Get lost!”


    Tang Mingyue looked at the professional interpreter and asked, “Can you do it or not? What did they say?”


    Argyll looked at Tang Mingyue from head to toe.


    After all, humans had a limited understanding of thenguage system of the cave-dwelling beasts, and their pronunciation was not urate, so he could only say that he knew a little.


    During a conversation, he could guarantee that his uracy was about 60 to 70% by guessing.


    Argyll pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, “I’m sure. They were shouting a very special word when they were running. I often see this word in books. If it was in our moremonnguage, it would be simr to ‘devil’,’ demon’, etc.”


    Devil?


    The crowd looked at Tang Mingyue again.


    Tang Mingyue also blinked her eyes, feeling even more innocent.


    Why did she suddenly be a devil?


    Fang Heng walked forward and casually rummaged through the wooden cart left behind by the cave-dwelling beasts when they escaped.


    There were boxes of crystals in the cart.


    Fang Heng picked up a piece of crystal and observed it on his palm.


    [Item: ck cloud crystal.]


    Quality: Extremely high.


    Description: A rtively rare ore, usually used as a magic and alchemy material.


    So it was an ore.


    The cart was filled with special ck cloud crystal ores. If he remembered correctly, the production of this kind of ore was not high above the ground.


    There were a lot of ck cloud crystals on the cart, but almost every piece of ore was of the best quality.


    Fang Heng stuffed two sets of crystals into his backpack.


    “Ahem.”


    Wei Tao coughed lightly to pull everyone’s attention back and said, “Don’t make wild guesses. Since they’re a small team that’s transporting ore, there might be an mining area upied by the cave-dwelling beasts in the cave nearby. Let’s chase them and see what we can find.”


    “Alright.”


    ...


    Everyone nodded one after another, but in their hearts, they were thinking that the next time they encountered a cave-dwelling beast in the catbs, they should not let Tang Mingyue go out to meet people first.


    After a simple preparation, the team moved forward again.


    It was a peaceful journey.


    Fang Heng continued to move forward along the dense stone forest. After walking for about 15 minutes, he saw an underground mining area that was being mined.


    The group stopped outside the mining area to observe.


    The entire mining area was unusually quiet, and not a single person could be seen.


    The interior of the exploitation site was extremely chaotic.


    Many of the digging tools and the half-mined ore had been thrown to the side in a mess. There were also many overturned ore boxes on the right.


    Arge number of mined ores were packed into boxes and thrown to the side.


    It was as if the mining area had suddenly encountered a crisis, and the miners hurriedly evacuated.


    Outside the exploitation site was a temporary camp for the cave-dwelling beasts.


    ...


    The construction level of the cave-dwelling beasts did not seem to be high, and the camp looked very dpidated.


    Wei Tao walked into the temporary camp and did a rough check before saying in a deep voice, the traces are still very new. They should have just evacuated not long ago. It couldn’t have been more than half an hour.


    Upon hearing this, everyone could not help but look at Tang Mingyue.


    Could it be that the cave-dwelling beasts in the catbs had chosen to run away because they had received news of Tang Mingyue’s arrival?


    Being stared at by everyone, Tang Mingyue suddenly felt baffled. “Why are you all looking at me? I have nothing to do with this.”


    Wei Tao said in a low voice, “Let’s search the camp and the surroundings first and see if we can find anything.”


    “Yes!”


    Everyone answered in unison and began to search the mining area.


    Fang Heng walked to the side and started to study the ore area.


    ck cloud crystal mine.


    This mine was not bad!


    If the catbs world was not so dangerous, he could consider letting the zombie clones collect ores here and sell them outside. ck cloud crystals were also one of the necessary materials for the construction of the ghost tower, but the demand was not that high.


    It was naturally best to have ready-made ones, as he didn’t need to spend money to buy them outside.
