Chapter 64: Claw Prints of the Underground River and Level 4 Guardians (Update !)

Is this a gold mine?

Yi Dong thought about it and threw the suspected gold ore into his backpack.

He planned to take it out and burn it later.

As the saying goes: "True gold fears no fire."

Burning gold is one of the most convenient and simple operations to identify gold.

Based on Yi Dong's superficial knowledge of minerals, this thing should not be pyrite.

Pyrite often appears in regular three-dimensional shapes that look like artifacts, which is very different from the actual gold.

Of course, in the wild, it is undoubtedly another situation:

The joy of finding unexpected wealth sometimes automatically leads to some rational blindness.

This is understandable:
At least before getting the final identification result, it undoubtedly brought enough joy and good mood...

Afterwards, Yi Dong searched the entire ogre cave again.

Yi Dong also looked at the cave at the fork.

That should be the mine that the Gnolls had mined for a long time, and it was full of messy traces of excavation.

In the deeper caves, Yi Dong found the tools used by the ogres to smelt and collect gold.

Just like the majestic sound of water that Yi Dong had heard before.

Deep in this cave, there is a winding underground river.

It was also here that the kobolds extracted gold from its raw ore through the flotation method.

The refined ores are placed in a stone pot-shaped container.

Yi Dong only found this one container, which already contained about one third of the gold powder.

As for the others, Yi Dong searched the entire cave but didn't see any.

This made Yi Dong somewhat confused:

This output obviously does not match the number of abandoned caves and dog-headed people.

Compared to sturdy humans, these gnolls, who have extraordinary powers, are not much inferior.

There are even some kobold chieftains among them who did not reap the benefits.

In fact, after searching, Yi Dong now has a strong suspicion that this tribe of ogres must still have their own superior ruler.

Or, before this, an adventurer had already come and done it?
Yi Dong has not yet figured out the nature of the Zongwang copy.

But what is certain is that:
Before it became a copy, it had a complete, independent timeline.

Rather than just throwing a few monsters in.

The superior ruler of the kobolds?
More powerful kobolds?

Yi Dong looked at the deep underground river and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

However, the appearance of this container containing gold powder also reduced to a certain extent the probability that the ore he picked up earlier was gold ore.

After all, it seems that these kobolds are not that stupid...

Or maybe, this is the private collection of the Kobold Chief?

Yi Dong thought so.

However, he no longer planned to waste any more time on this.

Now that you can pass the Kobold dungeon stably, it's time to start fast-paced play.

Just as Yi Dong was about to leave, he was staring at the underground river in a daze, and suddenly his eyes fixed.

Under the turbulent water of the underground river, as the water level rose and fell, Yi Dong suddenly saw several deep pits on the riverbed opposite...

They are so symmetrical, yet of different shades...

It was as if a pair of ferocious claws had passed by here...

If it were before, Yi Dong would only marvel at the wonders of nature.

Now?

Yi Dong stood up suddenly, and moved away from the underground river little by little...

It was not until the sound of the surging water gradually became deeper and deeper due to the barrier of the cave that Yi Dong relaxed his vigilance.

What the hell is that...

Are there any hidden monsters in this instance?

Yi Dong recalled the specifications of the claw marks he had just seen.

Soon, a classic giant monster from the fantasy genre naturally emerged in Yi Dong's mind.

Dragon?

Could it be that these kobolds are serving a dragon?
Countless thoughts were turning in Yi Dong's mind.

But soon, he opened the comprehensive network copy panel.

The next moment, with Yi Dong's operation, his figure disappeared from the spot...

…………

…………

Earth/Cemetery
Yi Dong returned to the cemetery again and opened the copy panel to take a look.

He didn't know whether there really was an unknown dragon in the Kobold copy.

But obviously, that was probably not a monster that he could deal with now.

Now he can only deal with the ogres who are the opponent's servants.

Even if it wasn't a dragon, the one who could control these gnolls must not be someone of his level.

Yi Dong did not find any clues in the description of the Gnoll copy on the copy panel.

He decided to wait until he was stronger before exploring this.

After all, if we use the specifications of the claw marks as a reference.

Even if it was just a chicken, it would be enough to chase him all over the place...

So, Yi Dong opened the comprehensive network panel and took a look.

He now needs 3000 experience points to upgrade his career level.

And with the generous rewards from the Kobold dungeon, he now has enough.

Yi Dong was thinking whether he should improve now or suppress it.

Improving your professional level will definitely bring higher combat effectiveness.

But at the same time, the experience gains from the Kobold dungeon will undoubtedly be reduced.

Compared to daily dungeons, the rewards for weekly dungeons are on another level.

After a little thought, Yi Dong decided to continue to improve his career level.

After all, the Kobold dungeon is only the first weekly dungeon.

He needs to complete the werewolf dungeon before the next weekly refresh.

As the second weekly dungeon, the benefits of the Werewolf dungeon will undoubtedly be higher.

The higher combat power after leveling up can also speed up Yidong's efficiency in clearing the Gnoll dungeon.

Not only does it increase the efficiency of gaining experience, but it also gives you more drop chances.

After all these calculations, perhaps the actual decline in experience gained is not that much...

So, Yi Dong no longer hesitated.

The next moment, as Yi Dong operated in the void, new prompt information was refreshed on his retina:
"Network Tip: Do you want to consume 3000 career experience points to upgrade the Guardian career level to level 4? Please note: This operation is irreversible!"

Then, Yi Dong confirmed in the confirmation box that popped up.

As Yi Dong continued to operate, dense prompts began to appear on his retina:
"Network Tips: Consuming 3000 experience points successfully, your profession: Guardian has been upgraded to level 4!"

"Network Tip: You have received a career baptism. Your basic immunity and health points have been permanently improved. Your basic body size has been permanently increased!"

"Important reminder from the Zongwang: You have obtained 1 free attribute point!"

"Network Tips: Based on the increase in your occupation level, your mythic power has gained a basic increase: 15→20 (5↑)!"

"Network Tip: Based on your choice of guardianship, you have gained a new professional skill: Compassionate Sacrifice..."
