They weren't surprised that it took them so long to sense the ground, but rather by the mana turbulence and the violent elements below.
Jona Velli felt a surge of joy; having seen the magic crystal ore inside the Dragons Lair, she had already guessed that there was a magic crystal vein down here.
After all, if there wasn't one, how could they explain their magic crystal ore? One or two pieces would be fine, but they had a whole pile of it, far more than they had gained from killing those humans.
However, that wasn't enough to surprise Jona Velli, as she already had an inkling. What surprised her was that this was actually a large magic crystal vein!
Generally speaking, small magic crystal veins are accompanied by ordinary iron ore, while medium magic crystal veins are accompanied by the production of Mithril ore.
A large magic crystal vein like this would definitely produce Mithril ore, and it was highly likely to produce high-grade Mithril ore, which is star silver ore!
This kind of ore is extremely precious; in some small human nations—no, even medium-sized kingdoms—it's usually in a state of having a price but no supply.
star silver ore is also one of the ceilings for magical metals. It can even be used to draw runes or Magic Patternss and mana circuits that can withstand power at the level of laws.
In other words, with star silver ore, one has part of the material foundation for forging Legendary-level or even demigod-level alchemical puppets.
Furthermore, after Mithril ore comes Moon Silver ore, which is the natal ore of the Silver Dragon (its corresponding ore). After Moon Silver ore comes star silver ore.
Generally, only powerful Silver Dragons—at the very least, those in the mature stage—could possibly possess star silver ore, and most of that is obtained from human kingdoms.
As a White Dragon who had awakened the talent [Physical Talent Blessing], Jona Velli possessed a constitution like that of a Metal Dragon, or even stronger. If she were to devour star silver ore, she didn't dare imagine how high the blessing she would receive would go.
Thinking of this, Jona Velli unconsciously let out a silly grin, her large pink tongue lolling out as crystal-clear dragon saliva dripped down.
"Hehehe~ Ehehe!"
Friel naturally noticed Jona Velli's excitement and her strange state. Although she also hoped that Blazing Flame Crystals would appear in this large magic crystal vein, she did not let her guard down.
After all, it was impossible for such a large vein to be without danger. Even the lowliest, trash-tier magical beast would become something not to be underestimated after living in an environment so saturated with mana and elements for a period of time.
Friel flicked her red dragon tail, lightly tapping Jona Velli on the head while keeping a wary eye on the surroundings.
"Don't get distracted."
Reminded by Friel, Jona Velli finally snapped out of it, followed by a lingering fear.
She had just entered a very dangerous state, which could be considered one of her weaknesses. If she were ambushed at such a time, she would be completely defenseless, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Thank Q."
"Alright, should we split up or..."
Before Friel could finish, Jona Velli shook her head.
"The safety of this place is still unknown. I think we should stay together to avoid being picked off one by one."
Friel frowned slightly, about to refuse, but then she remembered they were only Silver Rank. Although she hated to admit it, they were too weak; if they separated, they might encounter danger.
"Fine."
