The small woman began telling Shin Jiao about what had happened to her village and how she came to end up in this place.
Loombwark Diggingsons is half-dwarf, her mother is a dwarf but she did not know who her father is. Her mother and the rest of the villagers would not tell her. She is considered as a child in the village at the age of 18. However, she has proven to have a mind of an a.d.u.l.t and is one of the greatest scouts in the village. She could even communicate with any beast given some time.
One day, a large army of bat-riding men attacked their village. The Scavengers are known to be the scourge in these parts of the land. They dominate the skies through their giant bats, and even those drakes would not be their match once they all gang upon them.
When many of the villagers were escaping, they wanted to enter the mines and escape to the hidden kingdom of the dwarves, but they were blocked. The large stone gates were closed up and everything was sealed.
The rest of the villagers did not have any choice but to fight their way out and many were killed and have died. Loombwark Diggingsons did not see her mom in the chaos and left at the back of her giant wolf pet.
However, after traveling for a while, they accidentally ended up in the territory of the giant snake and that's where her giant wolf pet died in battle.
While telling her story the small young woman began crying her eyes out. Shin Jiao could not even make out some of what she is saying. But sensing that the place ahead holds great danger, Shin Jiao decided to go back to this place later.
He needs to go back first and create the new flying ship that would finally house the almost 500 people that came into his hands.
"Miss Loo, I am a traveling merchant and I need to go back now. Would you be alright in here, or do you want to go with me?" Shin Jiao gave her a choice.
For a while, she was not able to say anything. Although she is native in these lands, yet without her giant wolf pet, she would be the prey for many of the powerful creatures in this place.
With a nod of her head, she agreed to go with Shin Jiao.
"Alright, but before we return I need to visit a particular place first."
The two walk in a certain direction as Shin Jiao tracks the traces of the giant snake.
"Are you planning to go to the snake's lair?" she asked as she seems to understand what the man is planning.
"Yes, I mean I just can't let it just lie down there without checking, right?" Shin Jiao said with a smile.
She nodded in agreement.
If that species of giant snake is what she thinks it is, then it should have a partner. However, since it is already able to talk in a runic language, then it is considered as the king of these parts and lives alone.
So if they can go to its lair, they might find something good in it.
As the two soon arrive inside a large cave, they both detected that stench which is like a marking of the giant snake that could deter those who dare enter this place.
Any creature in the area knows that this is its lair and who dares enter would surely die.
As the two enter the almost two-meter wide hole, the pungent smell became stronger. Soon they saw a pile of bones on the side and many types of herbs that grow through the congregation of different types of animal blood and flesh.
"Those are Blood Phantom grass!… They are very rare grass that could help in healing wounds. Even if you are on the brink of death once you eat a stalk of it, you will surely live!" she exclaimed.
Shin Jiao carefully inspect the grass and knew that what she said might be true. However, he also found something wrong with it, and then nodded his head in realization.
"It might be useful as what you said, but it's actually not like what you know… This is because, it might heal your wounds, but it would eat up your vitality. I will shorten your lifespan… That's the drawback." Shin Jiao said as he began to gather the herbs.
The small woman was silent and was a bit taken aback as she did not expect the man in front of her is also someone who knows medicine.
Inside the cave, they found many types of herbs that grew on this pungent area, and also many types of mushrooms both poisonous and edible, and Shin Jiao gathers them all up.
As they walk deeper inside the cave, they soon noticed some illumination from the ceiling.
"Ahh… Moonstone! Those are rare Moonstones! This is really a great find!" she once again exclaimed as she tried to remove one of the luminous stones on the wall.
But with her strength, she is unable to take it.
"Do not remove any of them. They are interconnected in an array and would cause this place to collapse once you remove one of them." Shin Jiao suddenly warned after he scanned his surroundings.
But he did not stop walking as he found something really interesting.
It is something that he had not seen for a long time. He got his hands on a lot of them when he was in Gaeus Ro and gave some of it to his city. However, most of those stones were disintegrated when he arrived in the immortal land. In fact, almost everything in his spatial ring was destroyed at that time except for the black stones which only half were left due to their sturdy and robust nature.
Right now, within his spiritual sense, there are some mysterious stones while could affect the mind of those who could approach it. Even his spiritual sense is affected by it. Shin Jiao is well aware of what these stones are, they are the mind stones.
But besides these mind stones, there is a large deposit of crystals. The crystals have the same color as the mind stones and they seem to emit more powerful energy than the stones.
"What are those?" he muttered.
Soon the two of them arrive near that place and suddenly the small young woman grabs Shin Jiao's sleeve.
"Sir… We… we should not proceed. This place… those stones are dangerous. Many of the dwarven miners called those the Beguiling Stones or sometimes called Dream Stones. If you have a weak mind and do not have any protection against it, then you will be beguiled and possibly sleep until you die." She said with a shaking tone.
As dwarves, she is schooled and taught about many types of stones and crystals. Some are powerful and very attractive and could be really helpful. But there are those that are very dangerous. One of those things is those crystals.
Upon hearing her words, Shin Jiao showed a faint smile on his face. How could he not know what those things are? In fact, those stones are actually not that dangerous. However, once they are arranged into a formation, then that is where the danger would come.
And it seems that nature has its way of arranging these things naturally which causes fatal results to the people who would accidentally discover them.
"You should go to that side and gather the rest of the herbs in that place. I will explore this part." Shin Jiao gestured.
As soon as Loombwark Diggingsons left, Shin Jiao suddenly envelops everything in his psychokinesis and he could immediately feel that something is blocking his mind control.
"So it seems that the mind stones are the nemesis of my psychokinesis. But, it is still not strong enough to resist me." Shin Jiao muttered as he suddenly began digging those stones and crystals and then absorb them in his dimension.
Once one of the stones and crystal was removed the resistance immediately collapsed. This is the weakness of the mind stone natural formation.
And so he gathers everything and also some of the things he saw on the side like a pile of animal eggs, adventurer and mercenary bags and belongings, and more…
After cleaning everything inside the cave, there are only useless armors and weapons left as he did not have any use for those.
Shin Jiao took some of them which seem to be enchanted as it has piqued his curiosity. Loombwark Diggingsons was a bit stunned when she saw the missing stones and crystals. And knowing that the person was able to keep store them secretly, she was now thoroughly amazed.
When the two left, it is already almost nighttime.
"Come here… Is it okay, if I carry you? We need to hasten our pace…" Shin Jiao said.
The small young woman blushed a bit but still nodded her head. She knew that if she follows this guy, she would be a burden if she walks beside him. Hence she agreed, she also did not want to stay in this place longer.
