At the same time, the western border of Ten Thousand Realms Civilization, the junction of the dwarf province and the border fortress...

"Hey, Xiaolei, let's go back. My dad said you are not allowed to come near this place. If I am discovered, he will definitely beat me to death."

In a wild wasteland, a human boy who looked to be seven or eight years old shouted to another boy running in front with some fear, with an obvious intention to retreat in his voice.

The boy named Xiao Lei was much smaller than the human boy.

Visual inspection is probably only thirty or forty centimeters, but a child of this height is not unusual in all civilizations, especially in the dwarf province, because Xiao Lei is obviously a dwarf boy.

Unlike adult dwarves who are basically big and thick, with arms thicker than your thighs, these young dwarf children are unexpectedly petite and cute.

But cute is cute, this Xiao Lei clearly has the aura of a naughty child all over his body, and he is definitely a master who doesn't make people worry.

Hearing the voice of his best friend behind him, Xiao Lei put his hands on his hips and looked back with a speechless expression.

"Xiao Yu, you are too cowardly. If this continues, we will be looked down upon by that guy!"

"But, we can't come here. Once discovered, we will be in trouble."

"Don't worry, I've confirmed that this area is not a restricted area, it's just outside the restricted area. When I sneaked over here two days ago, I found a small crack in the ground nearby that hasn't been filled in yet. It's very hidden.

, let’s go and look for it, and we will definitely find a piece of ore with better quality than the one that guy has!”

The 'that guy' in Xiao Lei's mouth is their classmate. The two have a very bad relationship. The other's father works in the volcano forging factory. On his birthday, he received a particularly high-quality volcanic stone as a gift.

As a result, the guy came to school with the volcanic rocks to show off the next day. What drove Xiao Lei the most was that the guy showed off at least seven or eight times under his nose.

Xiao Lei couldn't swallow this breath, and vowed to find the place again, find a piece of better quality ore, and kill that guy, and then he ended up in this situation.

Xiao Lei ran in front and led the way. He was small and ran surprisingly fast.

Xiao Yu, who was following behind, still looked frightened, looking around from time to time for fear of being caught.

In fact, their current location is indeed quite far away from the Furnace Volcano.

Around the Volcano Forge, except for staff, generally no other people are allowed to enter or leave.

But really speaking, the restricted area is only the circle around the Furnace Volcano. After all, there is a small town near the foot of the mountain. Even after the volcanic eruption that year, the nearby farming industry has developed better, and the flow of people is not small.

of.

And where the two children are now, no one will take care of them.

However, parents and elders of people who live in nearby cities will still prohibit their children from coming near this place. In the final analysis, it is because of the danger near the volcano, not because of anything else.

After the two children ran furtively all the way, they soon arrived near a woodland.

When he came here before, Xiao Lei undoubtedly made a mark. He pushed aside a bush with both hands, and a small crack in the ground immediately appeared in front of them.

"This is it."

While talking, Xiao Lei quickly approached.

After the volcanic eruption, those large ground cracks were basically filled in bit by bit by people sent by the Construction Engineering Department.

This crack in the ground was probably not discovered at the time and was missed.

The scale is very small, less than ten meters in length, and the width is about 20 centimeters by visual inspection, maybe less than a little.

Xiaoyu carefully poked his head out and took a look inside the crack in the ground. It was dark and wintery, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

The almost invisible depth made him shrink his neck subconsciously, feeling a little scared.

In comparison, Xiao Lei is a typical naughty kid, completely fearless.

He had already put on his safety belt, and then tied one end of the rope he secretly took out from home to a big tree outside, and the other end was fastened to his safety belt with an iron rope.

Then he adjusted the miner's hat on his head, turned on the searchlight on the hat with a snap, and then tightened the small mining hoe in his hand. All preparations were already in place.

"Xiaoyu, please watch for me outside."

"Xiao Lei..."

"Okay, okay, it's okay."

The mining industry in the Dwarf Province is very developed, and nearly half of the ore output of the civilizations of all worlds comes from here every year.

This situation is destined to have a large number of miner families in the province, and this is undoubtedly the case in Xiaolei's family.

Xiao Lei, who had seen his father working in the mines, was now confident and not afraid at all. After comforting Xiao Yu, he burrowed into the cracks in the ground without saying a word.

According to the size and width of the crack in the ground, it would be difficult for a human child to get in, but Xiaolei is a dwarf and his short stature allowed him to penetrate very smoothly.

I have to say that the naughty kid’s mobility is really terrifying...

"Xiao Lei, Xiao Lei! Are you okay?!"

Standing outside, Xiao Yu shouted into the cracks in the ground with some fear in her heart.

Xiao Lei, who heard the movement, responded.

"I'm fine, don't worry!"

While shouting, Xiao Lei relied on the field of vision provided by the searchlight to constantly search for the high-quality ore in his mind.

Xiaoyu, who was scared in her heart, shouted every few minutes, which made Xiaolei a little annoyed.

Just when he was about to say something, under the illumination of a searchlight, a volcanic stone fell not far away, which caught his idea.

"Eh? Yes!"

However, his current location is at least seven or eight meters away from the protruding rock wall.

The naughty boy's brain changed, he kicked off the rock wall with his feet, and immediately planned to swing himself over in the same way as on a swing. He was really very courageous.

However, he did not notice that while he was shaking his body violently and swinging on the rope, a section of the rope was gradually breaking.

His father, who was absent from work, kept the rope at home and did not take it to work because he felt that the life of the rope was approaching its limit, so he bought a new one.

I'm afraid even he didn't expect that the rope he kept at home would be taken away by his naughty children.

At that moment, only a soft sound was heard, and the rope that had reached its endurance limit completely broke, and Xiaojun's scream came from the cracks in the ground.

Xiaoyu outside was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was helpless.

An unexpected accident has happened...
