Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 343

Chapter 343: Mining
The lack of resources in the entire world had caused the law and order to be compromised. Many people would not care about other people’s lives as long as they could eat and live well.

After all, it was more important for them to get the food and resources to live.

Because of this, there might be dispute in the places that they couldn’t see. For the sake of a small amount of resources, people could kill each other.

It was not surprising.

Because these kinds of things had happened even before the world changed. Because of some dispute that might seem small for other people, some people will kill each other. In their eyes, these small amount of resources were what they needed in order to live, so they fought fiercely.

‘Grains on the ground… there must be a supermarket or something like that nearby.’

Riya saw the scattered grains on the ground and shook her head. These might have been spilled during the battle for resources as people didn’t exactly pay attention all the time to take care of the resources. In a hurry, they might accidentally tear the bag and spilled some things.

This just made Riya felt deeply how much the value of the resources in her hand was.

She didn’t value it that much because she has a lot.

And what Riya needed the most was the type of food that contained a lot of mana. Otherwise, it would not have much effect for her aside from filling her stomach.

But for most people, these foods were very valuable.

It was also because of this that Riya was generous when trading the jade.

But it didn’t mean that she was willing to do charity all the time.

She’s not a saint.

“The crack is a bit small,” Riya said when she saw the crack behind the wall that the young man showed.

“Well, it’s indeed a bit smaller, but there’s a whole different world when you enter,” the young man said and he jumped in.

Riya and Samuel followed closely.

Feeling the faint barrier just like other cracks, they knew that this was a real crack. But the surface of this crack was much smaller compared to other cracks that they have found before.

No wonder that there were no magic beasts around.

Many magic beasts were a bit bigger than ordinary animal. Their sizes increased as their rank increased and only when they reached a certain rank could they control their sizes. Before that, their size would only get bigger and bigger.

In this way, it was almost impossible for most of them to go through this crack.

So even if the magic beasts found this crack, they would not have any interest to come.

Tep.

As the two of them jumped down, Riya quickly noticed the pile of mana metal ores on the side. It was not mined yet and still embedded on the wall, but she could sense the mana fluctuation form it.

So many of them were put here.

“It’s here,” the young man said and he looked around nervously. No magic beasts would come out of that crack since the size was only around 1 meter to 1 meter width. But there were still magic beasts that might passed by from the corridors.

He himself nearly died in the past when he was collecting these special ores.

“Thank you,” Riya said solemnly and took out two more space storage scrolls. “These are for you.”

The young man’s eyes lit up when he saw them and quickly took it. As he infused mana, he was stunned when he saw the large number of egg and milk inside one of them and the other one was filled with meat.

“Is this not too much?” The young man asked, swallowing his saliva.

Even though he had become a magic warrior, it was not that easy to hunt these magic beasts. Without proper weapon, it was basically impossible for them to hunt the magic beasts.

If they were not careful enough, they might be injured when they were close to the magic beasts.

Riya shook her head. “These ores are far more valuable than these things.”

“Really?”

“Here, I can give you another one.” Riya shrugged and handed another space storage scrolls containing more grains. Anyway, she didn’t have any plan to eat it and it would not make any difference to give it to this young man.

The young man’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t help but take it. “Thank you very much, Miss. I’ll go now.”

After that, he slipped away as if he was afraid that Riya would regret it.

Samuel looked at these ores, not paying attention to the young man who had left. “Can you give me some of them?”

He planned to send them to the researchers and to his father. The first one was to let them research the best method to process these ores to make the metal and the second one was to tell his father about what he found here.

“I can give you half of it as long as you tell me the methods to process it in the future,” Riya replied.

Samuel arched his eyebrows, “Half would be too much, isn’t it?”

“Well, I’ll ask for you to give me samples too.” Riya stuck out her tongue. After all, her skills in processing metal and so on were not very strong.

It would be better for her to buy the final products.

“Alright.” Samuel chuckled helplessly when he heard Riya’s answer. It seemed that she wanted to take advantage of this. Then again, Samuel himself didn’t mind it that much.

“How do you plan to mine them?”

“Well… using magic?” Riya asked doubtfully. She had never mined ores before and could only try to use magic to do it.

“Stand back.” Samuel motioned for Riya to step back.

Riya took a step back.

The next moment, Riya saw Samuel took out his sword and then started slashing towards the rocks.

Riya: “…Ok?” He’s mining with a sword?
