C13 Stone Monster

Dongfang Qingyu was wearing a pair of dry shoes. He walked with ease, as if he was walking with the wind. Dongfang Qingyu walked from Novice Village to the abandoned mining area, and it took him five minutes less than usual.

Dongfang Qingyu listened for a while at the entrance of the mine, and confirmed that there were four Hamster Monster inside. Dongfang Qingyu dug on the rock wall and began the warm-up exercise before digging. Five minutes later, the four Hamster Monster became Dongfang Qingyu's experience points.

A person repeated the same action, but no one spoke. It was a very boring thing. If it was any other person, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on much longer. However, Dongfang Qingyu was different. Not only did he not feel bitter, he was actually very happy. Especially when Dongfang Qingyu thought about the copper coin that he had dug up, his entire body was filled with energy. He wished he could dig until the end of the world.

During the afternoon break, Dongfang Qingyu had just finished eating his bun when a deafening sound came from the entrance of the mine. Dongfang Qingyu then saw a stone the size of a human head fly over, scaring him so much that he rolled on the ground. The stone brushed past Dongfang Qingyu's scalp and smashed into the rock wall behind him. The rock was broken into pieces, and a few cracks appeared on the rock wall. It could be seen how strong the rock was.

The light dimmed, and a big guy squeezed into the mine. Dongfang Qingyu took a closer look. It turned out to be a monster made of stone, about two meters tall. He didn't know where it came from, but unfortunately, the tunnel was dug according to Dongfang Qingyu's height. The tunnel was only two meters tall. If the Stone Monster crawled in, it would be fine. But if the Stone Monster wanted to stand in, the Stone Monster would be stuck.

Dongfang Qingyu heaved a sigh of relief and used the Identification Art.

Stone Monster: Level 4, HP: 390 Skill: Rock Toss Characteristics: Peerless Strength

The name of the Stone Monster was very vulgar. The name of the Stone Monster was formed from stone. It was unknown if there was a monster made of mud, but the HP of the Stone Monster was not low. It was a total of 390, which was almost five times that of Dongfang Qingyu's. Dongfang Qingyu was not afraid of the ability to throw stones, because the two hands of the Stone Monster could not be stretched open. But the Stone Monster's power was boundless, and it was a bit troublesome.

The Stone Monster had four limbs and a head, and it also had five facial features. However, it couldn't make any sound. However, Dongfang Qingyu could roughly sense the fury of the Stone Monster through its movements. The Stone Monster's two huge fists smashed into the rock wall, and not long after, dense cracks appeared on the rock wall. In the entire mine, tiny rocks fell down like raindrops.

Dongfang Qingyu's expression changed dramatically. If the Stone Monster continued to smash down, the entire mine would collapse. Dongfang Qingyu would be buried alive if he was stuck in the tunnel. Dongfang Qingyu was not a Hamster Monster. If the Hamster Monster was smashed a few times, the Hamster Monster would not die. Dongfang Qingyu would die immediately after being smashed.

Dongfang Qingyu carefully approached the Stone Monster. The Stone Monster was busy smashing the rock wall and trying to squeeze in, but it did not notice Dongfang Qingyu. Dongfang Qingyu waved the Crane Mouth Hoe and attacked the Stone Monster three times.

-15. '-18.' -20.

The defense of the Stone Monster was very strong. Dongfang Qingyu was now level 2, and his two Free Attribute Points were all Strength. Adding on the fact that the Crane Mouth Hoe was a Black Iron, his Attack was not low. Even so... The highest damage he could deal was 20 points. The Stone Monster's defense was at least three times higher than the Hamster Monster's.

-17. '-18.' '-20. '

Dongfang Qingyu attacked the Stone Monster twice in a row. The Stone Monster noticed Dongfang Qingyu. It let out a soundless roar and smashed towards Dongfang Qingyu. It was aggressive. Dongfang Qingyu quickly took a step back. The Stone Monster's fist was one centimeter away from Dongfang Qingyu, but it could no longer go in even half a centimeter. After the Stone Monster's fist was retracted, Dongfang Qingyu stepped forward and waved the Crane Mouth Hoe.

-18. '-19.' '-20. '

When the Stone Monster punched, Dongfang Qingyu would retreat. When the Stone Monster retracted its fist, Dongfang Qingyu would attack. These few times, the Stone Monster did not touch Dongfang Qingyu, but the Stone Monster was about to die.

The Stone Monster punched again. Dongfang Qingyu retreated. Dongfang Qingyu was just about to wait for the Stone Monster to retract its fist. When he rushed up to the Stone Monster's final attack, Dongfang Qingyu's expression suddenly changed dramatically. Not only did the Stone Monster not retract its fist, it even smashed into Dongfang Qingyu's chest. It directly sent Dongfang Qingyu flying. In midair, a large red number floated up.

-79.

The Stone Monster caught up with him in large strides. It turned out that the Stone Monster's continuous strikes on the rock wall did not cause the tunnel to collapse, but it also shattered the surface of the rock. The other parts of the rock were also slightly loose, just enough to allow the Stone Monster to move.

The Stone Monster only had 1 point of life left. If the Stone Monster approached Dongfang Qingyu, the Stone Monster did not need to directly hit Dongfang Qingyu's body. It only shook slightly. It could even kill Dongfang Qingyu. At this critical moment, Dongfang Qingyu seemed incomparably calm. The moment he landed on the ground, he threw the Crane Mouth Hoe onto the ground, and it flew past the bottom of the Stone Monster's foot. It flew out diagonally and hit the stomach of the Stone Monster.

'-3. '

The damage was very small, at least to the Stone Monster, it was negligible. However, the last bit of HP in the Stone Monster was cleared, and the Stone Monster turned into a pile of crushed stones, dead.

Dongfang Qingyu took a few breaths, then got up from the ground. Looking at the wearproof sackcloth's Durability suddenly drop by two points, he felt both heartache and relief. Dongfang Qingyu's heart ached for the Durability with two points. One had to know that if it was a normal activity, two Durability was enough for Dongfang Qingyu to wear for more than ten days. Dongfang Qingyu was glad that he bought this outfit yesterday. If it wasn't for the extra 7 points of defense from the wearproof sackcloth, Dongfang Qingyu was already dead by now.

The attack of the Stone Monster was too terrifying.

Dongfang Qingyu rummaged through a pile of crushed stones, but found nothing. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, Stingy! The Hamster Monster was only a Level-2 monster. It was very poor, and also had a few copper coin. As a Level-4 monster, the Stone Monster didn't even have a single copper coin. It was simply shameless.

However, after Dongfang Qingyu took a look at his experience bar, his mood immediately improved. A Stone Monster had given Dongfang Qingyu 10% of his experience, and adding on the Hamster Monster he had killed earlier... Dongfang Qingyu would be able to level up after killing another 9 Stone Monster.

Dongfang Qingyu wasn't sure how to calculate the experience, but he was sure that it wouldn't be 1: 1. For example, killing a Stone Monster would give 10% experience. Theoretically speaking, Dongfang Qingyu killing 10 Stone Monster would allow him to level up. However, this was not the case. Dongfang Qingyu had to kill 11 or 12 Stone Monster in order to level up. Perhaps only the experienced Old Player understood why this was the case.

Dongfang Qingyu walked out of the mine and took a closer look. He found that there were no Stone Monster. He then returned to the mine and started repairing it. Dongfang Qingyu didn't want to be smashed to death while digging. Similarly, Dongfang Qingyu didn't want to be blocked by the Stone Monster again. This time, he was very lucky. He didn't know if Dongfang Qingyu would be so lucky next time.

Dongfang Qingyu knocked down all the loose stones and laid them at the entrance. He turned the entrance into a 1.6 meter tall hole, and with his head down, he could enter. Unless the Stone Monster climbed, he would never be able to enter.

In the afternoon, Dongfang Qingyu's premonition came true. The Hamster Monster did not come, but another Stone Monster came. He foolishly crawled into the mine. Dongfang Qingyu rushed forward and knocked down all the surrounding ores. In an instant, he filled up all the space that the Stone Monster could move in. The Stone Monster's strength was boundless, but there was nowhere to use its strength. The Stone Monster didn't have any ability to resist. It was killed by Dongfang Qingyu.

-15. -18. -19. '-20. ' '-20. ' '-21... '

Dongfang Qingyu waved his last hoe, and the Stone Monster exploded, turning into a pile of gravel. There was still no copper coin that dropped.

From the moment the Stone Monster appeared, Dongfang Qingyu's ore production began to decline. It wasn't that killing monsters took up a lot of time, but that the ore was about to be completely mined. On the first day, there were 3200 ores, and on the second day, there were 3050 ores. On the third day, there were 2800 ores, and on the fourth day, the ores dropped again. 2400 ores, on the fifth day, the number of trainee miners had been restored. 2,100 of them. Furthermore, the number of Medium Grade Ore also dropped sharply.

Dongfang Qingyu was very sad. These days, he would take one to two hours of time every day to dig in other directions. He prayed that a new mine would appear, but the result disappointed him. All that was dug out were low quality ore.

On the sixth day.

Dongfang Qingyu had just killed a Stone Monster when the Tricolor Light fell from above his head.

System Notification: Congratulations to player Dongfang Qingyu for leveling up by 1 level. Level: 3. I hope player will continue to work hard!

In about 50 days, Dongfang Qingyu had levelled up by 3 levels, and he spent most of his time mining. This speed could be considered relatively fast. Dongfang Qingyu, on the other hand, could not be happy. Today's output would drop next time. 1,950 ores. Among them, 1,450 Low-grade Ore, 500 Medium Grade Ore, and not even half of them were taken.

Dongfang Qingyu packed up everything. Just as he walked out of the mine, another Stone Monster appeared. It smashed out a rock from far away. The human-head-sized rock whistled over, bringing with it a fierce wind.

If Dongfang Qingyu did not have dry and numb shoes, it would be difficult for him to dodge the rock. But with shoes, it was easier to avoid the rock. When the two rocks smashed two big holes in the ground, Dongfang Qingyu had already rushed forward like a shadow. He forcefully knocked on the Stone Monster.

"It's all your fault. You scared the ore away as soon as you arrived."

Red damage figures floated above the Stone Monster's head, one after another. The Stone Monster was extremely furious. Its two thick arms randomly attacked Dongfang Qingyu. However, the Stone Monster couldn't hit it. The Stone Monster was like a stupid elephant. Dongfang Qingyu had already circled behind the Stone Monster, and the Stone Monster's fist was still in front of him.

The Stone Monster's body exploded, turning into a pile of crushed stones, and the battle ended. Dongfang Qingyu vented his anger for a while, and his mood became a little better. Dongfang Qingyu naturally knew that the depletion of the ore had nothing to do with the Stone Monster. This was a useless mine to begin with. It was already a blessing from the heavens that Dongfang Qingyu was able to dig out so many ores. Just as Dongfang Qingyu was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of an item from the corner of his eye. He immediately stopped in his tracks.
