Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience - Chapter 360 - 34: Miners

Chapter 360: Chapter 34: Miners

“Squeak! Squeak!”

The boots made a soft squeaking sound as they stepped on the thick decaying leaves. Lynch walked along a path covered in fallen leaves.

As he walked forward, he turned his head to observe the surroundings.

Moonlight Grass, Two-faced Flower, Solar Vine, Thorny Violet… Looking at it in one glance, Lynch saw more than a dozen types of magic materials, and all of them were rare and expensive varieties worth thousands of Magic Stones.

Tsk tsk…

Lynch couldn’t help but click his tongue.

Even though he knew beforehand that the area where the Magic Stone Mine was located was incredibly rich in elements, and therefore the magic materials produced were exceptionally abundant and of superior quality, seeing the scene before him still made him envious.

If only such a large piece of the Witch Domain were his, then he wouldn’t have to worry at all about the development of the Adventurer Union; even if the number of adventurers expanded tenfold, it would still be totally fine.

Even…

Implementing further transformation plans for the Witch Domain would be enough…

Seeing Lynch’s gaze, Seren hurriedly advised, “Don’t be rash.”

As he spoke, he pointed to a nearby tree trunk.

There, a short-tailed lizard was perched on the trunk, its two round eyes bulging out, staring at them without blinking.

And it wasn’t just this lizard.

In the creek beside the road, a few frogs surfaced, hidden under the grass leaves, watching them; in the treetops, some squirrels dug for nuts while keeping an eye on them; and even above their heads, some birds continuously circled.

From the moment they set foot on this land, these creatures had been watching them, and their every move was clearly under someone’s surveillance.

This was a magic surveillance network, constructing spiritual links between one’s own spiritual field and various creatures within the Witch Domain to form an all-pervasive network. Through this network, the holder of spiritual power could monitor every move within the coverage at any time.

Lynch remarked in surprise, “Not strong, but quite capable.”

Constructing such a spiritual network wasn’t easy, requiring not only extremely strong spiritual power but also involving much knowledge beyond the level of Wizards, requiring at least the Secret Skill Level.

Could the intelligence be wrong?

Lynch couldn’t help but have some doubts. After all, from his years of understanding, the Dark Moon Church occupying this Witch Domain should only be at the high-level Wizard level, theoretically not having the ability to construct such a network.

Continuing forward, the two soon arrived at the heart of this Witch Domain.

A mineral site appeared ahead, with well-constructed mine tunnels and a large number of miners busy within.

Around them stood some overseers, holding thorny vine whips, with an arrogant attitude, whipping any miner who was a little slow.

The miners were countless, looking everywhere like ants, coming out of the tunnels in groups, carrying baskets of collected black ore.

Lynch’s gaze fell on the black ore in those baskets, his eyes burning again.

Magic Stone Raw Ore!

The Magic Stones used by Wizards are refined and processed from these ores. A piece of ore the size of a fist, after refining, would yield varying amounts of Magic Stones depending on the content of Magic Stone in it.

Generally, if a fist-sized piece of Magic Stone Raw Ore yields 1 Magic Stone after refining, it is considered decent quality, but these stones the miners were carrying, Lynch could clearly sense the strong elemental fluctuations from afar, indicating much higher Magic Stone content than regular raw ore.

’Truly worthy of being the Jade Ridge!’

He had heard about the Magic Stone Mine of Jade Ridge long ago, known for its exceptional quality and quantity of Magic Stones, and now it proved to be quite extraordinary.

At this moment, Seren suddenly said, “Take a closer look at those miners.”

Lynch curiously looked over but couldn’t see anything unusual: “Just some humans, so what?”

Seren said, “Don’t you think they are too sturdy?”

Lynch looked puzzled: “And then? Are you planning to become their savior?”

Each Witch Domain has its own rules, and what people do, how they manage, and how they exploit their own population within their domain is their business and has nothing to do with them.

Seren continued leisurely, “Haven’t you noticed that these miners seem a little too strong?”

Hmm?

Hearing Seren say this, Lynch noticed that indeed, the physical condition of these miners was exceptionally strong.

Magic Stone Raw Ore is a significantly heavy ore, with a piece the size of a palm weighing several kilograms, and a basketful of Magic Stone Raw Ore weighing at least several hundred pounds.

Carrying such heavy loads on winding, undulating mountain paths was no easy task, but looking over, these miners seemed not to break a sweat and appeared to be quite at ease.

Lynch immediately realized the problem: “They’ve all learned the Breathing Technique.”

There were no signs of modification on these miners, so the only explanation for such superhuman physical condition was that they had learned the Breathing Technique and received Knight training.

One or two would be understandable, but all the miners here had received Breathing Technique training, which was too many. Could it be that someone here was inspired by him and began to popularize the Breathing Technique to ordinary people? But that would be too…

He popularized the Breathing Technique among ordinary people to tap and gain precious knowledge. If it was just to make them mine, honestly, Lynch felt the cost-effectiveness would be unworthy, as training a human to learn the Breathing Technique itself consumes many resources, and the excavated ore might not even cover the investment…

Seren said leisurely, “In the past, only ordinary humans mined this mountain, and the Dark Moon Church has never popularized the Knight Breathing Method among ordinary people.”

Lynch was stunned for a moment.

Could it be…

As if to confirm his guess, just then, a miner walked a bit slowly, and an overseer immediately whipped him harshly.

The thorned whip left a stinging blood mark on the miner’s body.

As he whipped the miner, the overseer viciously cursed, “Move faster, you damned fool!”

“A bunch of lowly slaves, do you deserve to learn the noble Knight’s Breathing Method?”

“Adventurers, my foot!”

“Capturing all you fools to dig mines, we’ll see if you still act up!”

Now he finally knew where these miners came from…

Lynch’s gaze turned cold.
