The path to the main mine shaft was completely blocked by the strange, dark-brown metallic boulder, forcing Chen Yu's expedition to an abrupt end.
But this was perhaps good news.
At the very least, it meant that if the Goblin Army wanted to make a comeback and retake the mining area, they would first have to deal with this roadblock.
By the time the army finally managed to dig through, he would have already mined enough Gray Gravel Crystals and made his escape.
The next time they met wouldn't be a small skirmish, but a true welcoming ceremony of 'artillery bombardment'.
Upon returning to the original mining area, Anvil requested to stay behind and guard their newly reclaimed homeland. A portion of the Demon Army and the two "Goblin Ripper" Magic Arrays remained with him.
With these forces, they could easily handle it even if that cunning earthworm returned.
So, Chen Yu mounted Xiaoka and confidently began the journey home.
