My different world is game mode.

[Sky Compass] is still as reliable as ever.

Lindsay felt the vibration and opened the map.

The hidden space had indeed been marked on the map.

This space is located northeast of Lindsay's feet. It is not too far away, only about 50 meters in a straight line.

"Very good, just go straight over there."

Lindsay activated the [Eternal Mark] and instantly sank into the ground, crossing the distance in the darkness in the blink of an eye.

call--

Torches were lit in the darkness of the underground.

What appeared in front of Lindsay was the end of a mine tunnel.

"Ok?"

Lindsay looked behind her curiously.

Due to the accumulation of soil and rocks outside the tunnel, the original scene can no longer be seen. But from here, it is easy to find that the collapse here was caused by some external force.

"Blocked intentionally?"

Lindsay looked around carefully, and soon a golden-green light caught his attention.

It was a fist-sized piece of ore growing on the stone wall of the tunnel.

"..."

Lindsay did not act on impulse.

This mine was really weird. He didn't plan to take anything casually and had to do a basic inspection first.

[Rare Item: Corrupted Gold]

[The poison of corruption could not infect dead things, but by chance, it was guided by someone to combine with this piece of source gold, producing unexpected magical changes; it can be used as a material to make other props. ]

[Rare mutant ore, high value. ]

"..."

After seeing this property description, Lindsay didn't even dig out the ore right away.

Because it is in a gap below the [Corrupted Gold].

He saw some familiar pages.

"Is this... the explorer's diary?"

Lindsay took out the paper first, and it was indeed filled with the familiar scent of source.

Being strong and brave are the skills of explorers.

[Mooncry Mountain Exploration Log]

【June 10】

After crossing the winding mountains, I came to the entrance of the Nanrui Mine.

This place has also been invaded by the plague, and my skills are a reminder that this moment is filled with danger and despair.

This is not a bug tribe. Without my care, it is impossible to maintain the balance of life...

【June 10】

The Knights of Law who guard the mines are still on duty here, trying their best to prevent the plague from spreading.

According to him.

The disease has spread through the mines, and anyone who enters will die.

……

I want to go in and take a look.

【June 10】

The interior of the mine was intricate, and the rock textures showed strange beauty under the firelight. However, the wood used to fix the tunnel was rapidly rotting due to the corrosion of the disease.

Faintly, there seemed to be a wailing sound coming from below?

【June 10】

I almost got infected, so I had to evacuate and rest.

However, after this exploration, the terrain of the mine below has become connected with my exploration skills.

Next time, I will definitely find the most accurate and fastest way.

Maybe someone can be saved...

【June 10】

"Since you've already been down there once, don't you know what's going on inside?"

The Knight of Law who was guarding this place asked me a question.

How could I not know?

Sickness, suffering, death.

So I shouldn't go there, it's too dangerous.

But there are some things that even if you know about them, you still have to go and see them. This is a must.

There is a huge difference between doing and not doing.

As for the principles that the Knights of Law uphold, guarding the blockade is indeed right for the whole world.

But for the living people below...

【June 10】

The Knight of Law was right, no one survived.

I……

I cannot undo the effects of the blight on my life.

But you can try to guide the epidemic in the mine into this piece of gold that is fused with the source.

If we completely close this tunnel, one day, things here should be able to return to normal.

Frosty moon above.

I hope you can light the way home for those unfortunate souls.

——I have been on this journey, I have seen it, and I have tried my best.

"..."

"It turned out to be him."

Lindsay was filled with emotion.

From the insect tribe to this abandoned gold mine.

Although he had only seen two places, it was enough for him to be sure that this unknown explorer was a respectable person.

The problems of this gold mine and everything that had happened in the past were also revealed.

Just like the insect tribe.

The gold mine was also struck by an epidemic of the poison of corruption.

The Knights of Law guarding the place were unable to solve the problem and could only impose a blockade to limit the spread of the disease.

As for this explorer...

After some adventures, he went deep into it, but unfortunately everyone was dead. He could only rely on his experience in the insect tribe and try to guide all the diseases into this piece of gold ore.

Now decades have passed.

The mine was purified, and hope was brought to Lindsay in this way.

Now that things have come to this, Lindsay doesn't need to hesitate.

click-

He took out a meteorite pickaxe and knocked it against the wall. The corrupted gold immediately loosened and fell down, and was successfully put into Lindsay's bag.

Then put it on the workbench.

[1 Corrupted Gold + 3 High-Level Dark Gems + 1 High-Level Wood = Corrupted Poison Staff]

[1 Corrupted Gold + 3 High-Level Metals + 5 Special Metals + 1 High-Level Dark Gem = Sword of Plague]

[1 Corrupted Gold + 3 Dragon Fangs + 3 High-Level Gems = Poison Dragon Summoning Staff]

[1 Corrupted Gold + 15 Titanium Alloy + 1 High-grade Gem Powder = Corruption, Erosion, and Disease Bomb]

[1 Corrupted Gold + 1 Dead Soul Bug + 3 Corrupted Moss = Distortion Potion]

"..."

This kind of high-grade ore is transformed from the concept of corruption and toxicity.

Lindsay only looked at the items that could be synthesized and manufactured, and felt that they were all extremely dangerous.

And according to the statistical materials, there happen to be several that can be manufactured immediately!

"Tsk——"

"Another multiple-choice question?"

Lindsay looked hesitant.

But just at this moment, another idea suddenly popped up.

The plague problem of the insect tribe can be treated with diluted luminous mushrooms, but there is no solution to the infection of the earth.

But this piece of gold is different!

It was originally the product of absorbing the poison of corruption. All it needed to do was to transport it back and put it back together with the explorer's notes.

The original purification effect may be effective in the Insect Canyon!

"Correct!"

“You must give it a try!”

Lindsay looked delighted.

Having made his decision, he prepared to leave this hidden space and return to the main body of the mine tunnel.

Overall, there is a lot of good news today.

Not only did they obtain new materials, but they also confirmed the safety of the gold mine and even had the possibility of purifying the earth.

Come back with a full load!

Lindsay turned back and found the cave he had dug when he came in. He also reinforced the surrounding structure to prevent the tunnel from collapsing.

And on his way home.

In the property panel, a line of text suddenly appeared in the property description of the [Real-time Strategy] module.

[Caravan Route: 1/1]
