Legend of the Elven Investigator

After defeating Rumble Stone, Hao Li's state seems to have changed.

[Elf: Haoli/Gender: ♂/Level: LV31]

[Characteristic: Perseverance / Attribute: Fighting / State: Weakness]

In Zhenping's eyes, Haoli's level has increased by one level, while the corresponding state has decreased.

"It seems that fierce battles are indeed a shortcut to becoming stronger, but it is too dangerous. This is a way to seek a breakthrough in a desperate situation, but now, it is not necessary." Zhenping realized in his heart that Hao Li's strength has improved after the fierce battle with Long Longshi.

After the battle, Haoli was still panting heavily, Shinpei pulled a piece of cloth from his sleeve, and covered Haoli's nasal cavity to filter the smoke.

Without thinking, Shinpei handed the remaining biscuits and water to Haoli, signaling it to replenish its strength.

Haoli was about to refuse, but Zhenping directly fed the food into its mouth firmly, saying: "Don't talk so much, we both can survive in this underground tunnel thanks to you, if you fall down, we really can't get out, eat quickly, we will have strength after eating."

While talking, Zhenping's mouth began to swallow saliva dryly. He also wanted to drink water, but it was obvious that Haoli needed more supplies now.

Zhenping's inner rationality and sensibility are intertwined, so he does not hesitate to leave materials to his elves.

Haoli was silent, and ate the biscuits without saying a word, then drank half of the water, and insisted on giving the other half to Zhenping.

"You, you are really stubborn..." Shinpei smiled wryly, half of the water was the amount of a sip of water.He moistened his lips carefully, not daring to swallow the water, letting them relieve the dryness in his mouth.

"This is the knowledge I learned from watching survival programs many years ago, but I didn't expect it to be used now. Haha, Hao Li, you don't know. That program is called "Survival in the Wild", and this world can't see it anymore. But there seems to be another trick, which is about the recycling of body fluids..." Shinpei rambled, using words to cheer himself up.

Without the rumbling stone blocking the way, the road ahead will be smoother.The rock formations here seem to be quite hard, and the explosions and vibrations from the ground did not cause too much damage.

"Ahead, keep going, there must be hope, and the exit is ahead." Zhenping encouraged himself all the way, while Haoli maintained a state of seeing through, gaining insight into possible threats.

But good luck finally favored the struggling Zhenping. The remaining wild elves who were not blocking the road seemed to run away and hide early because they were extremely sensitive to vibrations.

Most of the elves in the Black Gold Coal Mine are rock, steel, and ground-type elves. Although they can dig holes underground and even live underground, the intricate environment of the underground is also dangerous. Once these native elves hide, it is impossible to find them.

After entering a new section of the tunnel, Shinpei suddenly found that the dust here had decreased.

He tried to take off the cloth covering his nose, the air had a cold feeling from the depths of the earth, but there was no such annoying dust, which was a good sign.

"Wait, the feel of the ground is a bit strange." Shinpei leaned down, picked up a handful of soil with his fingers, rubbed it carefully, and felt a kind of fine and soft wet soil.

Here's the soil, there's water!

A huge surprise burst into his mind, and Shinpei swallowed quickly to calm down.

It is not surprising that there is water in the underground tunnel. The complex underground environment sometimes forms a special geological structure, which stores the water source leaked from the surface, and it may also be an underground river, which leaks for some reason.

"If it was the underground vibration that caused the water source to appear, then there must be a ready-made water source around!" Shinpei reasoned calmly. He found that the ground of this section of the tunnel was wet, but the cave wall was quite dry.

Shinpei searched for a while, digging holes everywhere with his strength.

"Here, here, dig a hole and have a look."

"No, don't try it, the sand is as dry as if it had been air-dried for 10 years."

"Yes, yes, there is water here!"

After some attempts, Shinpei finally found a stream of water as thin as a finger, slowly flowing out from somewhere underground.This discovery immediately made his heart beat wildly. Where there is water, there is hope!
Hao Li also stepped up his efforts and dug out a pothole the size of a washbasin.Small streams of water converged in the pothole, and soon formed a muddy puddle.

Shinpei stopped Haoli who was about to gulp down the water, the water was contaminated with a lot of sand and dust, and he might spray it on the spot after drinking it, even Haoli's physique couldn't handle it.Must be processed before drinking.

Fold the cloth used as a mask layer by layer, press it on the mouth of the water cup, carefully pick up the water with your hands, and pour it on the cloth. The muddy water is filtered by the cloth, and it falls into the cup sparingly, barely drinking it.

"Unfortunately, although this is the largest coal producing area of ​​Sinnoh, there is no activated carbon. Otherwise, the water will be cleaner after being filtered by activated carbon."

Not all charcoal can be filtered, and a large amount of impurities in the coal dissolve into the water, and the skin will peel off if you drink it.

For this hard-won precious water source, Shinpei only took a sip and swished his mouth for a long time before swallowing it.It's not that he is reluctant to drink it, but the quality of the water is unknown. Although it has been simply filtered, who knows if there are other problems. If you have diarrhea in this dark place, it will be really bad luck.

Taking advantage of this rest time, Shinpei recalled the memory of the Black Gold Coal Mine in his mind.

The coal reserves of the black gold coal mine are huge, and there is no intention of exhausting them until now. It can be called an infinite treasure house of energy.

A mining port continuously transports tens of thousands of tons of coal every day.

A large part of the crystallization of these energy sources will be burned to generate electricity in Heijin City, and then converted into electricity and sent to the southern area of ​​Sinnoh.As for the more distant Binhai City, Qiefeng City and other northern cities, coal will be directly transported by water, railway and other means.

"If the Black Gold Coal Mine stops supplying energy, even for just one day, the industrial production and residents' lives of the entire Sinnoh will be greatly affected, so the alliance has set up a gymnasium here." Zhenping said heartily.

The organization sent itself to investigate the details of the Black Gold Coal Mine. I am afraid that it is not only to understand the operation status of the Coal Mine, but also to worry about the Gym Master at a deep level.

Somewhat different from the original book, the owner of the Heijin Gym at this moment is Piaotai's father, who is later the owner of the Iron Gym—Dong Gang.

Donggang and Piaotai, the two occupy two of the top eight gymnasiums ranked by Sinnoh, which can be described as high positions.The family behind the two has a degree of control over the alliance's coal and steel industries beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

It is rumored that the Donggang family owns one-third of the shares of the Black Gold Coal Mine, which means that one of the three pieces of coal dug here belongs to the Donggang family.

That is a mineral deposit that can supply the needs of the entire continent. Owning one-third of it is an astronomical amount of wealth.

"Money is always eye-catching. If the owner of Donggang wants to make some small tricks to encroach on more benefits of the black gold coal mine, no one will find out, right?" Zhenping thought rather wickedly. As the gym owner of Heijin City, Donggang has undoubtedly mastered the official force, and the family behind him is extremely wealthy. Only his morality can restrain him in Heijin City.

Suddenly, Shinpei caught a clue.

In the future, Donggang will become the owner of the steel gymnasium in Shuimai City, and the black gold gymnasium will be inherited by his son Piaotai.Among them, is there any high-level influence?
Although Shuimai City is also close to the Iron Island, which is rich in steel, but after all, it is isolated overseas and the environment is much worse.Donggang's transfer from Heijin City may not be voluntary.

In this dark underground, Zhenping's thoughts spread unrestrained like a wild horse, and he filled his mind with the power struggle between the Donggang family and the alliance.When he reacted, Hao Li, who had replenished his physical strength, was already staring at him impatiently.

Could it be that the trainer is poisoned by water, why does he seem to be in a state of confusion?

"Ahem, Haoli, let's go." Shinpei coughed to cover up his embarrassment, got up and continued on.

In fact, the internal structure of the black gold coal mine is very complicated, and the storage of coal in the coal mine is not continuous, but stored in a kind of interlayer honeycomb.

However, the biggest factor affecting coal mining is not natural factors. There are also a large number of wild elves living here.

It can even be said that the huge underground carbon mine space has formed a special natural ecological environment, and the density of wild elves can be compared to some wild forests.

Most of the rock and ground elves have the habit of devouring rocks, not to mention the powerful creatures like the big rock snake, which is comparable to the underground shield machine.The big rock snake will dig intricate underground tunnels in the ground to search for rare minerals, and the weaker elves such as the small fist stone, the rumbling stone, and the gophers use the big rock snake's tunnels to shuttle.

Even flying elves like supersonic bats are distributed in the mine, and elves and elves form a certain balance in this mine.

"Wait, there is a situation ahead! It seems to be a light!" A bright spot suddenly appeared in Zhenping's sight. In this kind of underground tunnel, there is only one possibility for light to appear, and that is the creation of human technology.

Shinpei races to the source of the light and discovers a derailed ore train.

To be precise, this is not a train in the strict sense, but a means of transporting ore similar to a train.There is only a power compartment similar to a steam engine at the front of the car, followed by rows of cargo baskets filled with coal.

This light is emanating from its body.It seems that due to the previous shock, the train full of coal accidentally derailed and turned over beside the tracks.

Although this train cannot take people, it is already great news for Shinpei.With light, the probability of being attacked by wild elves is greatly reduced.

The wild elves here are used to lights appearing with humans, but their nature makes them hate light, and they tend to stay away from the light source.

"According to the direction of the front of the car, it should be this way. Go straight to the left and you will be able to get out." Shinpei analyzed and determined the direction.

"Let's go, Haoli, let's continue on our way... Wait, maybe we can search this train compartment." Shinpei was about to leave, but when he turned his head, he had a new idea.

Is there nothing else in this wagon full of ore besides coal?

Zhen Ping's heart was pounding, and his intuition told him that besides coal, some associated minerals are often bred in the coal mine, and those associated minerals are really valuable.

Instead of precious metals such as gold and silver, the real valuables in the elf world are those ores with special energy.

Most of them are called evolutionary stones.

Common evolution stones are Fire Stone, Water Stone, and Thunder Stone.The rarer ones are Light Stone, Dark Stone, Moon Stone, etc.Most of them are buried deep in the ground and are difficult to be excavated.And here, isn't it a mine dedicated to mining?
Zhen Ping's mind became active, if he really had a dollar or two, it would be a real fortune.

The money on my body is already in jeopardy, and it is difficult to withdraw the money in the bank card, so I can only rely on extra money to fill my wallet.

Although he came to this world passively, between dawdling around and embarking on a journey, Shinpei resolutely chose to see the magical world of elves.

He needs money. Without money, he can't even get out of Heijin City, and he will die halfway. He is not a direct line trainer of the Elf Alliance, and like Xiaozhi and others can live and live in the Elf Center for free.

"Master Donggang, I was almost buried alive in your mine, and you don't mind if I ask for some interest to make up for my body." Shinpei muttered, while searching slowly.

There were ten carriages in this ore train, and Shinpei searched from the front, and finally found it in the seventh carriage.

"This is……"
