Amber Sword-Chapter 601 - 49th scene Silver Mine (10) (2nd update, please support, recovery requires continued effort)_2
The entire mine shaft seemed to tremble.
Ben’s scalp tingled; it was the first time he felt that engaging in battle here might not be the wisest choice. This mine shaft did not seem able to withstand their tumultuous fight. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
However, the old man seemed completely indifferent. He was slightly surprised that Ben managed to dodge his swing. His gray and white eyebrows involuntarily lifted slightly. But despite his surprise, the old man did not hesitate. He immediately lashed out again, sweeping his sword horizontally towards Ben!
He wanted to force Ben back.
This series of attacks happened in an instant. Qian had just stabilized her posture. Ben saw that Medisha was rushing up, but she was still a step away. At this moment, Kulan’s sword was already within inches of him, but he couldn’t retreat.
But Ben was also enraged. If the tiger doesn’t show its power, do you take me for a sick cat!
He activated his Charge Skill, his speed exploded, and the young man instantly vanished from Kulan’s sight. When he reappeared, he had already dodged the opponent’s sword edge and thrust his own sword towards the opponent’s throat.
Such speed!
The old swordsman recognized it as a Sun Knight’s Skill. He countered with a backhanded block. As their swords clashed, both realized each other’s understanding of swordsmanship. Both used Erune’s battle swordsmanship, but now they had to determine who was superior.
Kulan suddenly felt excited, but when he saw Ben take a step back, the tip of Ben’s sword slightly tilted to one side, a glimmer flashed in his eyes.
This is not Erune’s military swordsmanship!
The old man immediately stepped back, countering Medisha’s incoming spear with a backhand slash. However, he did not take any further action, instead he shouted in a deep voice:
"Stop—!"
...
As Ben and his group started sparring with Kulan, the entire mine pit experienced several slight tremors.
Joka felt dirt and grit falling onto his shoulders. He touched his shoulder with his hand, then looked up at the mine pit ceiling and couldn’t help but worry, "What’s going on? Is it collapsing?"
He then turned to his companions and asked, "Did you guys feel that?"
Maher and the others were busy working, heatedly, having nearly unearthed the object from the rock wall. Due to its sharpness, they had to start from the edges, gradually revealing the shimmering object from the increasingly concave rock wall.
As the rock layers gradually peeled away, they could see the object’s rough outline. It wasn’t a sword but looked more like a silver ball—yet why was the ball so sharp? They were puzzled.
Now the ball was gradually protruding from the rock wall. One person even cautiously touched it, but nothing major happened, which reassured them somewhat.
But at this moment, the girl shivered, "I feel a bit cold." She uneasily looked around as if something was lurking in the darkness, "The temperature seems to have dropped."
Kevan’s attention was focused on the silver ball. On its silver, smooth surface remained a strange touch of pale gold. He had seen this kind of metal’s name in a monk’s book—Mithril.
The youth’s eyes couldn’t help but grow somewhat fervent. Compared to the value of Mithril, Cold Iron was practically like a common stone.
After hearing the girl’s and Joka’s comments, he shook his head, "Occasional tremors are common in the mine shaft. They’re very mild, nothing to fuss about. Don’t scare yourselves."
He then turned around and said, "You know, we’ve hit the jackpot this time." He smiled, "Now we don’t have to venture out; we can live the life we’ve dreamed of—"
But before he finished, Maher suddenly let out an "eh?" sound.
Everyone turned around.
They saw that after Maher struck the rock wall with the cross pickaxe, a large chunk suddenly fell off—revealing a layer of black, smooth rock behind it. Everyone was stunned. They had thought the blue Cold Iron Vein had at least another half to one meter depth, but unexpectedly, there was such a thing behind it.
"This isn’t naturally formed!" someone suddenly shouted, "Look, there are words on it!"
Everyone focused their attention and indeed saw a densely packed row of words on the black rock wall. But due to age, they had become blurry and illegible. No one could decipher the content. Kevan slowly walked up and touched it with his hand—it felt icy cold to the touch.
He turned his hand, and his palm was covered in black. "It’s rust," he said, "This thing is made of iron."
"What is this?" someone asked.
The youths exchanged puzzled looks, and Kevan could not provide an answer. Although knowledgeable, his experience was limited. The mysterious excavation stirred a mix of tension and subtle excitement in him.
Even with his vague understanding, he guessed they had unearthed something extraordinary.
"Come on, let’s keep digging and get it out," Maher, always a man of action, immediately said.
"Wait, do you know what this is?" Joka said irritably, worried from the start, "Besides, something this big, you won’t be able to take it out even if you dig it up."
That last sentence struck a chord with Maher. He paused and cast an inquiring glance at Kevan.
"Let’s dig out the silver ball first," Kevan decided, after inspecting the iron wall and finding nothing of interest. He chose to secure immediate benefits first.
But no sooner had he finished speaking, the entire mine shaft suddenly began to shake violently. Unlike previous slight tremors, this time it seemed the entire underground was fiercely shaking.
All the youths were instantly knocked to the ground.
"Look, it’s glowing!"
Amidst the screams, someone suddenly shouted.
