Entering the mine, the interior instantly turned dark.
The air was filled with the smell of ore, making it extremely turbid. Those tiny particles entered the body with each breath, causing discomfort over time.
Following the mine tunnel, which was only about two meters wide, Zheng Yi carefully led the way forward.
No one knew how deep or far they had walked when the space ahead began expanding, and the two of them finally arrived at a sizable pit.
All around, the stone walls bore signs of excavation. The hard surface of the ore revealed marks from various tools. The surroundings were desolate, clearly abandoned, with all the ore inside completely cleared out.
Reaching out to touch one of the stone walls, Zheng Yi pried off a patch of a dark metallic sheen from its surface.
This was a small piece of raw Black Iron Essence Stone, unprocessed and unrefined, yet its hardness could still be felt.
