TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

"Isn't that kind of path a little dangerous?" Liu Yang asked as he looked outside at times.

Looking at that large number of cursed creatures, Liu Yang felt a chill in his spine.

"It is not very dangerous. This path has been carefully carved to prevent it from being broken easily, "Kafei said proudly. She prided herself on the creation made by members of past generations of the Witch's Iron Hands group.

"What will happen if some of those creatures attack us?" Liu Yang pointed to a group of giant eagles flying in a circle in the sky.

Some things were not written in the books and scrolls that he read inside the hiding place, so he needed to ask about it.

"Those giant eagles will only attack if we create some kind of very strong lighting. They are attracted to light, without light, they just fly around and over in the sky. So it is very important to avoid using items that may contain light." Kafei replied in a serious tone. She has seen some scenes where people did not follow this recommendation and suffered heavy losses.

"I see… But are only those eagles attracted? Or any kind of flying creature?" Liu Yang asked curiously.

If cursed eagles and lizards are attracted to light. The other flying creatures can also be attracted to light.

"Yes. To tell you the truth, any creature in the Wild Region is attracted to light or any kind of strong and striking light, small and barely noticeable lights do not attract the attention of these creatures" Kafei replied. She was already familiar with the habits of the cursed creatures in the Wild Region.

"Ohh ..." Liu Yang learned some new things about the flying creatures of the Wild Region.

Some things can only be learned when the person experiences it. Not when you read the books.

"We are going to keep walking. This corridor is a few kilometers away and is safe" Kafei led the group.

As one of the most influential people in the Witches' Iron Hand group, Kafei was in the lead. Her status increased after she became Liu Yang's lover.

The group walked for about an hour before they reached the end of the long corridor in the wall of the stone wall. The exit was a stone door, this was to prevent others from finding out about the place.

Looking towards the valley, Liu Yang saw a magnificent and frightening scene.

The valley was brilliant as a world of colored lights, but inhabited by horrendous creatures, tens of thousands of them.

This part of the valley was where the main mine was located.

Thousands of crystals and sparkling minerals illuminate the place. These things were not removed from the site because it serves as a natural lamp for miners, but it was also very dangerous because it attracts cursed creatures.

"Hawk River, what do you think of that? A beautiful scene, but scary, right? " Kafei and the members of the Witch's Iron Hands group took off their glasses to see in the darkness.

Glasses or skills were no longer needed because the place was lit.

"Yes. The brilliance of the crystals and minerals is beautiful, but the amount of creatures roaming the place is scary. But how are we going to mine with so many creatures walking around the place?" Liu Yang felt a chill down his spine as he looked at the scene at the bottom of the valley.

"Hawk River, the place where we will mine is not on the surface, we will go underground. It is safer there and there are no creatures" Kafei commented.

Mining on the surface was tantamount to suicide, so the group dug a hole underground to mine.

The only problem was that the Iron King Valley group also knew about this place.

"Is there an entrance to the basement somewhere around here? You must have some kind of tunnel or something, right? " Liu Yang understood that it was too risky to go down there, so the only way to get down was to dig another hole or tunnel that leads to the underground.

"Yes. Hawk River, your thoughts are correct. To get to the mine site, we have an underground tunnel. The only problem is that it is not just my group that has access to this underground mine, some other three groups also have access. One of them was the group of Kings of the Iron Valley, the other two are from a region a little distance from here, but they have bases in the surrounding areas." Kafei explained.

"Distant groups? What are they doing here? Do they want minerals to forge weapons? " Liu Yang imagined that this would be the case.

Poor people had to find more practical ways to get stronger.

"Yes. They try to get the minerals to forge equipment, but the only problem is that they have connections to each other. Like the two furthest groups from the valley, they formed a small alliance to mine the site. On some occasions, my group was attacked by them" Kafei spoke in an irritated tone. She still remembers attempts to kill and steal on the other side.

The Witch's Iron Hands group also does this frequently.

"I see… Kafei, but for them to have members in other locations, are these two groups bigger than the witches' group? Or do they just separate the group into squads with each one having a leader?"

"According to the information we have obtained over the years, they are a very large group in the regions a little far from the valley. As they are closer to the city, they get more members than we do." Kafei explained despondently.

Her group was a long way from the cities and in a very dangerous place. Thus, they had difficulties in obtaining members.

To make matters worse, Kafei's group only accepts women.

"I see ..." Liu Yang was having some bold thoughts about what to do in the valley.

(I think trying to control this area and charge to use it is a good idea. If I can completely unify this location, I will own this big mine, but it's not really worth it. I'm going to ask Snow to dig and mine completely the rarest minerals in the place and leave the rest to others. I think it's best to leave this place to the other groups. Or I can try to create a city in that place to mediate the other places.)

Before, he had the thought of creating a good place to start a city in the Wild Region, but after seeing the situation, he got that idea, but not entirely.

Creating a mining town was very profitable, but very dangerous because of the greed of others.

(What am I going to do about this location ...) Liu Yang had a lot of doubts about what to do.
