Chapter 511: The ferocious beast in the copper mine tunnel, the blood copper beetle
After failing to produce anything from the Bronze Tree Totem, Lu Xingshi had no choice but to go mining. He dug for a long time, took a look at the sky and planned to go back.
"The smelted bronze should be enough for me to use for three months."
But Lu Xingshi was also in trouble. Mining copper mines was easy, but moving back was a big problem.
"Forget it, move slowly." Lu Xingshi could only pick up part of it and take it back first.
"not enough?"
After gathering it, Lu Xingshi took a quick look and discovered the clues.
He didn't know exactly how much copper he dug, but he still remembered the approximate amount.
"Damn it, half of it is missing? What the hell stole my mine!" Lu Xingshi looked at it and his face turned green... Oh, his skin was originally bronze now. Although it has faded a lot, he is indeed green and a little panicked. .
Slowly walking towards the depths of the tunnel, it was now certain that the beast that stole his mine was most likely not that big.
Most of the large ferocious beasts move with a lot of movement, like a painting that is five meters high. Even if he wants to sneak, there is no way.
To a certain extent, the size can actually represent the strength of the beast. The larger the size, the more powerful it is.
Take the Venom Flying Dragon as an example. If it wasn't old and injured, it would definitely be the ecological overlord in the surrounding area.
It is better to eat people directly than to eat ores.
A red light the size of a lantern appeared in the darkness, which almost shocked Lu Xingshi.
Then without hesitation, he raised his fist and struck towards the light source.
In an instant, the red light burst, and then sputtered out a large amount of hot juice, and accompanied by a harsh wail, the entire tunnel shook.
"Damn, what the hell~"
Lu Xingshi's body was full of bumps and bruises, and there were a lot of wounds on his skin. He endured the pain and ran out quickly.
Then a lot of rustling sounds appeared in the entire tunnel, and it seemed to become restless. When I looked back, a large amount of red light as big as a thumb emerged in the tunnel.
Obviously, his previous guess was only half correct.
The person who stole his copper mine was indeed a small ferocious beast, but it was just a cub, and there were so many of them that it also took its mother with it.
The red light as big as a lantern just now was the eyeball of that big ferocious beast.
Judging from the sound, it is most likely an insect.
As Lu Xingshi ran out of the pit, a huge arthropod similar to a centipede rushed out, with a large number of small centipedes clinging to it.
The giant centipede was blind. It only had one eye, and the other one was blown out by Lu Xingshi.
"Is this a blood-eyed millipede?"
Lu Xingshi stopped at his feet, with a look on his face. This was the name of the Qianyuan Realm. If you kill someone, you can get the Blood-Eyed Golden Crystal.
But in today's wild world, the name is called blood copper beetle. The name is probably composed of blood copper and carapace, plus it looks like a bug. The so-called blood-eyed golden crystal is blood copper.
"This guy is a reborn person, right? Do you know this?" Lu Xingshi was certain that the origin of the other party's blood copper probably came from the blind eye of this blood copper beetle.
The blood copper beetle is definitely not an aborigine. If there really was such a one in the bronze mine, it would have been killed by the plow long ago.
I didn't meet Lu Xingshi when he came yesterday, so he could only have come last night.
Adult beetles eat anything, mainly meat, but the larvae of the blood copper beetle need to eat enough copper minerals to help the growth of their carapace.
If you don't get enough copper, your carapace will be brittle.
After the blood copper beetle escaped from the tunnel, it immediately crawled towards Lu Xingshi, looking like it was ready to eat Lu Xingshi clean.
Lu Xingshi definitely had no intention of escaping.
Kill this blood copper beetle and dig up the insect beads to get a piece of high-quality blood copper.
Blood copper is indeed one of the associated minerals of copper mines, but the probability of production is extremely small. However, the insect beads of adult blood copper beetles are blood copper. Of course, copperization may also occur in other parts, but the quality is not as good as Bug bead blood copper.
Worm Pearl Blood Copper ranks among the top three among many sources of blood copper.
A punch hit the blood copper beetle's head directly, creating a huge dent immediately.
"The venom flying dragon is average in strength. It is estimated that it is only about one-tenth. It can kill this thing without cheating." Lu Xingshi took a step back and avoided the attack of the blood copper beetle.
Lu Xingshi's eyes fell on the larvae. Not only were the mother worm's beads of great value, but these larvae were also of great value.
If you raise them and feed them enough copper ore and meat, you can harvest a large amount of insect bead blood copper.
Currently, there are very few members with bloodline abilities in the entire tribe. As one of them and a major contributor to capturing the blood copper beetles, he will definitely be able to get a good amount of insect beads and blood copper when the blood copper beetles mature.
And after large-scale breeding is established, it can even be obtained continuously.
However, this idea only flashed through Lu Xingshi's mind. The Tongshu Tribe could hardly afford to raise them themselves, and if they raised so many ferocious beasts, they might starve to death. Therefore, it is estimated that only a dozen or so animals are the limit, and if they are killed to obtain pearls when they reach adulthood, it is impossible to form a large-scale breeding.
Therefore, it is enough to raise about five. When the tribe grows up, Lu Xingshi can distribute another insect bead blood copper.
As for the other larvae, let's see if they can be exchanged for other tribes with bronze bloodlines.
The blood copper beetle struggled to get up. It was not fierce this time. Lu Xingshi punched him. The blood copper beetle immediately understood that Lu Xingshi was a ruthless person and was not something it could deal with, so it turned around and ran away with the larvae.
How could Lu Xingshi let it run away, he chased after it in three or five steps, jumped on the blood copper beetle, used his hands and feet together, and immediately beat the insect's head to pieces.
Without having time to dig up the insect beads, I hurriedly gathered the larvae that had fled in all directions. After the mother worm died, these larvae also relied on their survival instinct to escape in all directions.
Lu Xingshi would have no way to catch them by himself. These little things are very fast and can burrow into the ground. They are gone in the blink of an eye.
"Fifteen..." Lu Xingshi's body was covered with blood copper beetle larvae similar to centipedes. He was still struggling with these things, but they were tightly bound by him and couldn't break free at all.
With difficulty, he dug out a fist-sized insect bead of blood copper. Although it was made of copper, it was extremely smooth, almost like the polished side of a bronze mirror.
He put it into the animal skin pocket and pulled out the eye stalks of the female blood copper beetle.
This is also a piece of blood copper, but unfortunately there is only one piece, and the other piece is missing. It was already blind before coming here.
It probably fell at the location where Ke took Ei to find it.
If they go today, they might actually be able to pick up the blood copper in the mouth of the man.
However, Lu Xingshi would most likely miss the blood copper beetle.
This thing would leave with the larvae after it had eaten and drank enough. How could it be waiting for Lu Xingshi to come back again?
If Lu Xingshi got the blood copper eyestalk, he would definitely eat it in the tribe and stay in the tribe instead of coming to mine.
The mother insect came in stealth and left quickly, so naturally no one in the Copper Tree Tribe knew about it.
The totem warriors of the tribe do not choose to hunt insect-like ferocious beasts. Most of them are meatless and poisonous.
Unless they encounter ferocious beasts such as blood copper beetles that can be beneficial to their bloodline, they will choose those with more meat.
After checking the blood copper beetle again, what was left was either the carapace or the solidified body fluid. The carapace was useless, but the solidified body fluid could ignite fire, but it was not valuable. I had to wait to get it back.
Carrying the things with me, I walked in the direction of the Bronze Tree Tribe, while thinking about one thing in my mind.
It would indeed be a bit strange if the blood copper beetle injured its eye while fighting a ferocious beast nearby.
The blood copper beetle moves underground, not on the ground. However, being able to pick it up on the ground means that there is a high probability that the fight will take place on the ground.
What forces the blood copper beetle to give up its own habits?
The only thing that can make it go out of normal is something that will most likely affect life safety.
"I've never heard of anything existing underground." Lu Xingshi recalled the ferocious beasts around him. Speaking of the ferocious beasts at the bottom of lakes and rivers, there were indeed many powerful ones.
But there is really no way to find it underground. The Bronze Tree Tribe has never explored the underground situation at all. They barely meet the food and clothing requirements, so how can they think about anything else.
…
"Hui, I got the first totem spell." Ke walked into the camp and said.
This cheered up the frowning Hui: "Really? It seems that giving you the Pearl was indeed the right decision."
"What kind of totem spell is it?" Hui asked quickly.
"It's...bronze armor." Ke replied.
He was very satisfied with this totem spell, but Hui was stunned and finally said: "It's pretty good."
This totem spell can stimulate the bronze bloodline in one's body and generate a unique bronze armor for oneself. The duration and strength of the armor depend on one's own bronze bloodline, and can be cast five times a day.
He also has paintings, but the flaw is also obvious, that is, he can only use it on himself and cannot inflict it on others.
However, as a witch, there is no need to go out hunting, and there are very few times when it is necessary to fight. Obtaining this totem spell is almost useless to the tribe.
Even if he was arranged to go hunting, with his current bloodline concentration, whether it was the strength or duration of the armor, it would be of no use at all.
You must know that the totem spell can only be cast in the tribe. Even if it is released on the body five times, the bronze armor will not last long, and it may disappear before the hunting starts.
It's not like Lu's first totem spell is the violent war cry, which is a strong boost for the entire tribe.
"Not bad, very good."
"With this totem spell, when your bloodline concentration increases, you will be able to help the tribe hunt." Hui comforted him, but he was worried that Ke would not be able to think about it.
It's just that for Ke, he wants to leave, so this type of totem spell is suitable for him.
However, he overlooked one thing. After leaving the tribe, how to cast totem spells without a totem?
