Yang Bei took a deep breath, held the ax tightly with both hands, and stared firmly at the towering, extremely hard black iron tree in front of him.
I saw him raising the ax high and swinging it hard. The ax collided with the tree trunk and made a loud "clang" sound, and sparks flew everywhere. However, the black iron tree only shook slightly, leaving only a shallow mark on the bark.
But Yang Bei was not discouraged. He adjusted his posture and swung the ax to chop the tree trunk again.
Just like this, one ax after another, he kept repeating this action, and his clothes were gradually soaked with sweat.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally, about an hour later, with a dull sound of "bang", the black iron tree in front of it could no longer withstand the continuous heavy blows, and its huge body collapsed. The ground raised a cloud of dust.
During this long hour, everything was quiet. Except for the sound of Yang Bei cutting down trees, nothing unusual happened.
Looking at the black iron tree that fell to the ground, Yang Bei wiped the sweat from his forehead and showed a satisfied smile.
After all, it is not an easy task to successfully cut down such a strong tree.
Now that the task has been completed, Yang Bei decided to drag the black iron tree back to the village.
He walked to the black iron tree, bent down, grabbed the trunk tightly with both hands, and then exerted force to lift it up.
Although his strength has been restricted to a level similar to that of ordinary people for some reasons, the physical fitness accumulated through years of training still makes him much stronger than ordinary people.
So, it was not particularly difficult for Yang Bei to carry the black iron tree. He carried it steadily on his shoulders easily.
After carrying the black iron tree, Yang Bei walked steadily towards the direction of the village.
Along the way, he passed through dense forests and crossed rugged mountain roads, always moving at a relatively fast speed.
After a long journey, he finally saw the outline of the village from a distance.
When he walked into the village, he aroused the curious eyes of many villagers.
But Yang Bei didn't care about this, and walked straight towards the mysterious dark store located in the center of the village.
Arrived in front of the dark store, Yang Bei put down the black iron tree on his shoulders and took a breath.
Choose to recycle the black iron tree.
The next moment, a black coin appeared in front of him.
Yang Bei reached out to catch the coin and observed it carefully.
There are some strange lines engraved on the front of the coin, and the words "Black Iron Copper Coin" are printed on the back.
This is one of the common currencies in the world - black iron copper coins.
Yang Bei carefully held the black iron copper coin that exuded an ancient atmosphere tightly in his hand, feeling slightly relieved in his heart.
Just as he turned around and was about to leave, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him, blocking his way.
After taking a closer look, it turned out to be Zhou Qing.
I saw a faint smile hanging on the corner of Zhou Qing's mouth, staring straight at the black iron copper coin in Yang Bei's hand, and said softly: "This first black iron copper coin should be handed over to me for safekeeping first. As for the next one, it belongs to you."
After saying that, Zhou Qing was still smiling, with an unquestionable look in his eyes.
In fact, Zhou Qing had already mentioned this distribution rule to Yang Bei before the operation started.
Although Yang Bei was unwilling at that time, considering that his current strength was indeed unable to compete with Zhou Qing, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Faced with Zhou Qing's request at this moment, Yang Bei did not show much resistance. However, after a moment of silence, he handed the black iron copper coin tightly in his hand to Zhou Qing without hesitation.
Zhou Qing took the black iron copper coin with satisfaction and put it in his arms. After Yang Bei handed over the copper coins, he continued to stride out of the village without looking back.
This time, Zhou Qing did not stop him again, but stood quietly on the spot, watching Yang Bei's back disappear from sight.
For the next period of time, Yang Bei was cutting down black iron trees.
The day passes quickly.
When reaching the 10th hour.
There is also a prompt from the AFK panel.
[Black Iron Wood Ax level improvement: lv1-lv2! 】
【Black Iron Wood Ax】
Quality: White
Level: lv2 (0/20)
In this case, the Black Iron Wood Ax needs 20 idle points to upgrade to the next level.
That is, it takes two days.
At this time, Yang Bei held the upgraded black ironwood ax in his hand. Its surface exuded a more dazzling luster, as if it had been injected with new power, making it appear more advanced and mysterious.
He stared firmly at the thick black iron tree in front of him, took a deep breath, and waved the ax in his hand vigorously again.
I saw a sharp sound of wind as the ax blade cut through the air, and then hit the black iron tree heavily.
With a crisp "click" sound, a deeper dent appeared on the trunk of the black iron tree than before.
Compared with the black ironwood ax that only had the first level one, now it has been upgraded to the second level. Its power has been greatly increased, and the efficiency of cutting down trees has also been significantly improved.
According to Yang Bei's rough estimate, the tree-cutting speed of the second-level black ironwood ax has at least doubled!
After learning about this surprising result, Yang Bei could not help but be so excited that his heart beat faster.
Because according to this progress, the number of black iron trees he can cut down every day will increase from the original twelve to twenty-four!
However, apart from the joy, another thorny problem quietly emerged - how to smoothly transport these exponentially growing black iron trees back to the village and successfully sell them to the dark shop?
You know, the guy named Zhou Qing has been guarding the door of the dark store, paying close attention to the number of black iron trees that Yang Bei sells every time.
Zhou Qing knew Yang Bei's every move very well.
Under such circumstances, Yang Bei had just arrived here for just one day, and was still unfamiliar with everything here.
If his harvest was suddenly doubled, Zhou Qing would never give up and let go of his "fatty" easily.
Thinking of this, Yang Bei couldn't help but frown, and fell into deep thought...
Yang Bei frowned, and his heart was full of troubles and worries.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, making him feel extremely troubled.
The current situation is simply terrible, as if we have fallen into a bottomless quagmire and it is difficult to extricate ourselves.
At this moment, the only thing he could do was rack his brains to think of countermeasures and try every means to solve this huge problem in front of him.
However, before he found an effective solution, he had no choice but to follow the original rhythm and slowly cut down the iron-hard black iron trees.
Time passed quietly, and before he knew it, he was able to leave this place and return to the universe for an hour.
However, there is no urgent need to return to the universe at the moment, so he still sticks here, waving the ax in his hand with all his concentration, and constantly cutting down the black iron tree. Day after day, time passed like this minute by minute.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed by in a hurry.
During this period of time, the ordinary black ironwood ax in his hand has been significantly upgraded, and has now been promoted to level three!
As the level increased, this wooden ax showed amazing power, which greatly accelerated the speed of cutting down the black iron tree.
With all his strength, he can even successfully cut down as many as 50 black iron trees in one day!
Not only that, after a long period of fierce collision with the black iron tree, this black ironwood ax has been sharpened to an extremely sharp point, shining with a chilling cold light.
Although his chopping speed has improved dramatically, the problem that has been troubling him has always lingered in his mind like a lingering shadow.
No matter how hard we try, we cannot completely eliminate it.
He knew very well that if he did not properly deal with this thorny problem that troubled him first, then he would never be able to cut down those precious black iron trees smoothly and quickly.
However, in the past three long days, he has thoroughly examined almost every place he could think of and observed, but what is frustrating is that he still has not found anything. Being able to find even a slightly feasible way to resolve the difficult difficulties we are currently facing.
What particularly troubled him was that the mysterious and dark store located in the center of the village had long been firmly controlled by Zhou Qing and his group.
In this way, no matter what items he tries to sell, there is no way to avoid the other party's strict monitoring and control.
There is no doubt that this has undoubtedly become a huge and insurmountable obstacle in front of him.
As far as the current situation is concerned, it seems that he has no other better choice. The only feasible way out is to continue to work hard and cut down trees unremittingly.
During these three intense and busy days, he did not dare to stop for a moment, and always maintained a high-intensity state of work. On average, he was able to successfully drag back a full 10 thick and strong black iron trees every day. village.
Unfortunately, even after such hard work, the reward he could get in the end was only a pitiful 5 black iron copper coins every day.
After all, he was restricted and restricted by others everywhere. Even if he had to bear the pain of giving up half of the fruits of his labor as a surrender, there was really nothing he could do.
However, at this moment, Yang Bei was not worried and confused because of this.
Because he knew very well that the more difficult and difficult the situation was, the more he needed to stay calm and calm and wait patiently for the possible turning point.
If you are blindly restless and eager for success, not only will it not bring you any benefit, but you will most likely inadvertently invite death and put yourself in a terrible situation that will never be recovered.
So, no matter what, he must grit his teeth and persevere, quietly waiting for the critical moment that changes his destiny to quietly arrive...
However, on the fourth day, an unexpected situation caught Yang Bei's attention.
At that time, he was concentrating on cutting down trees when he suddenly heard a commotion not far away.
Yang Bei followed the sound and saw that some of the other people cutting down trees were in danger.
It turned out that a dark creature hidden deep in the jungle approached quietly at some point and launched a ferocious attack on one of them.
Fortunately, that person reacted extremely quickly, and with his keen intuition, he instantly noticed the strangeness of the surrounding atmosphere.
Soon enough, he suddenly dodged sideways and narrowly avoided the fatal blow.
Yang Bei took a closer look and finally saw the true face of the attacker.
To his surprise, it turned out to be just an ordinary black mouse!
Its body is about the same size as an adult’s foot and looks nothing special.
But if you look closely, you will find that this black mouse is as fast as lightning.
After the swift pounce failed, it did not hesitate, turned around and fled the scene with lightning speed, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared before.
After the black mouse disappeared, the man who was attacked calmed down and continued to chop down the tree.
It seems that as he guessed, there are some dangers in the Black Iron Tree Forest, which are the dark creatures in this world. But as long as you are careful, you will be fine.
But Yang Bei is also thinking about a question, that is, what benefits can be gained from killing these dark creatures?
Leaving aside everything else, one advantage is certain, that is, the corpses of these dark creatures will definitely be recycled by the dark shop.
Because whether they are hunters or those who fish, some of their harvests are lost to the dark store.
He watched those guys selling dark creatures to dark shops in exchange for a large amount of black iron and copper coins.
He even saw a black iron silver coin.
He asked Zhou Qing whether one black iron silver coin was equal to 1,000 black iron copper coins.
This is of great value.
If he could obtain it, he would be able to purchase the Dark Spiritual Vein Map immediately.
At his current speed, if he wants to obtain the Dark Spiritual Vein Diagram by cutting down trees, it will take at least 20 days before he can purchase the Dark Spiritual Vein Diagram in the Dark Store.
At present, unless he kills the dark creatures, he will have to wait 20 days to obtain the dark spiritual vein map.
The Dark Spirit Vein Diagram is the method of cultivation in this world. If he can get it, he can start practicing with the idle panel.
And his cultivation speed will definitely be very fast, and by then he will have the power to protect himself in this world.
Although it now seems that he can hunt those dark creatures with the upgraded black ironwood ax in his hand, this is actually an extremely risky behavior.
It is impossible for every dark creature to be as weak as that black mouse.
A slightly more powerful dark creature would definitely not be an opponent. Even if he was holding an upgraded black ironwood ax, his black ironwood ax was not a magic weapon and could only be sharper after being upgraded.
For him, the best choice is to wait twenty days before obtaining the Dark Spiritual Vein Diagram.
Anyway, cutting down trees is now the safest way for him to make money.
Although it takes some time, but currently time is the least valuable here.
It is better to wait honestly than to take risks in order to save so much time.
After cutting down trees here for 20 days, he will naturally get enough black iron and copper coins to buy the Dark Spirit Vein Map, and then start his own cultivation path.
After making up his mind, Yang Bei no longer thought so much.
Whether it’s the danger in the Black Iron Forest or the exploitation by Zhou Qing’s group in the village.
It's not fatal to him now, but when he slowly increases his strength.
Make him strong and everything will change.
He can enter the unknown black iron forest to explore, and Zhou Qing and his group who exploited him will also pay the price. (End of this chapter)
