Chapter 73 Applying Appraisal Skill

「Phew~…. It’s damp and it’s pretty tough~」

「Tell me if you lose your concentration, Nina. We’ll take a break right away.」

「I’m okay, I can still do it!」

From the 18th floor, the frequency of battles with Blood Bats… bloodsucking bats increased.

If you let your guard down, you’ll be bitten, and you’ll take severe damage, so you have to concentrate all the time.

It’s exhausting, so our advance has slowed down considerably.

Blood Bat

Rank: C

Skills: Flying 23, Night Vision 7, Bite 14, Bloodsucking 11, Wind Magic 5

Bat

Rank: D

Skills: Flying 15, Night Vision 6, Bite 11, Bloodsucking 9

Although the power of each of these creatures isn’t that great, it’s difficult to deal with them because they attack in groups from the above in a coordinated manner.

And in a narrow cave, we can’t use ranged attack magic that’s likely to cause the ceiling to collapse…

What’s more, when a Blood Bat bites, it takes more than a glass of blood with it, so it drains both your mental strength and stamina.

「But Master~. There are quite a few adventurers going through here, right? We can use EX Heal to recover our blood, but what about a party that doesn’t have recovery magic?」

Well, Nina, according to what I’ve heard….

「It seems that they endure it with guts while drinking blood-increasing potions regularly…」

This is a potion that gradually increases blood, so it doesn’t go well with massive bleeding.

The effect isn’t that great, but the price is also cheap… so in order to keep costs down, they seem to endure a little anemia with their guts.

「Most high-ranked adventurers have good physiques and naturally have a lot of blood, so they seem to be able to survive in a battle of guts.」

It seems that former merchant Ian also heard about it from an adventurer.

He told us with a subtle look on his face.

Whether we can do it or not… I don’t want to use it as a reference….

「I’m glad that I’m in Master’s party.」

Nina muttered so with a pale face… she probably imagined herself enduring it with her guts.

It’s okay.

In our party, we can use EX Heal if we have buffs.

While fighting annoying blood bats and mole-type monsters, we slowly progressed to the 20th floor without overdoing it.

All of us were bitten by the blood bat several times, but fortunately, none of us were seriously injured.

After proceeding further on the 20th level, we reached the popular place on the cave floor, which is also our destination.

「Onii-sama, the walls are sparkling and beautiful.」

Esther’s eyes sparkle with curiosity.

He usually acts like a grown-up, but he acts appropriately for his age at times like this.

「It’s the mining area… the most popular place on the cave floor. You can find quartz-type ore here and there… and you can also find emerald and diamond ores, although the probability is low.」

The sound of pickaxes being swung down and the cheerful voices of adventurers echoed in the area.

At a quick glance, there are three parties.

No… judging from the sounds, there should be ten more parties if we go further.

「For the time being, I and Ian will do some digging. Esther and Nina should take a break and prepare for monster attacks.」

Mining ore is the real pleasure of exploring the labyrinth~

As I excitedly swung the pickaxe over my head, I was stopped by Ian.

「It is just a guess, but I think you wouldn’t find any high-value ore in that area. I think that area over there is better…」

「How do you know?」

「It’s an application of my Material Appraisal skill. Based on the minerals I can see, geologically speaking, I think there are emerald ores around there.」

………

An application of appraisal….

I didn’t even think about it.

「Certainly, the flow is a little different around here.」

「Yes. I don’t have any mining experience, so I can’t be sure, but… I think it’s right.」

As expected of an honor student!

I’ll try to imitate him next time.

「Thanks, Ian. Let’s start digging over there!」

I used a pickaxe to dig in the spot Ian taught me.

It’ll take some time since the walls of the labyrinth can’t be destroyed with Earth Magic, but it can’t be helped.

But well, it’s easier for us than other adventurers since we have Body Strengthening~

「Hmm? Isn’t this….」

「Yes… it’s an emerald ore. The quality is good. We hit the jackpot!」

「Ian, you look so happy~」

His usual cool handsome face was blown away, and he now has the face of a vicious merchant.

…… Just how much money do you plan to squeeze from your own father?

「Haha…. Master, your eyes also turned into money, you know?」

Oops, this is bad.

If I don’t return my face back before Esther notices, he’ll be disillusioned.

「Amazing~! There are so many green stones!」

「Onii-sama…. Is it really that easy to get gems?」

「It’s thanks to Ian.」

Ian told me about the good mining location, so I was able to get a large amount of emerald ore.

The power of material appraisal is amazing!

「We’ll take a break next time, so you two can try digging. It’s quite exhausting so you can take a break if it gets too hard. As for the place… it’s over there, right?」

「Yes.」

「I see, so it’s thanks to Onii-sama and Ian-san’s appraisals…. I didn’t know it can be used like this!」

「Oh, I see!」

They seem to have noticed it.

「I’ll make appraisal-enchanted items while I take a break.」

Compared to Ian’s material appraisal, the amount of information seems to be a little inferior, but… there’s a big difference between having it or not.
