Lear's interest was greatly increased, and he reached out to take the charred stone in the big devil's hand.
The weight is very heavy, like metal.
With extended perception, you can clearly detect the rich energy contained inside.
It's like the magic power has been compressed.
Magmatic Carboniferous
[Level]: 3 stars
[Characteristics]: After burning, it can release extremely high temperatures, and can activate surrounding magic.
[Evaluation]: Excellent weapon forging fuel.
Although the attributes are simple, this is what he wants!
Lear was in a great mood.
He looked to his side impatiently.
"Big devil, go and catch all the big-mouthed scavengers!"
"Bubblemon is responsible for imprisoning and using bubbles to widen the hole."
After the order was given, the great demon immediately took action. The power in his body surged out and disappeared into the void.
In just three or two breaths, he returned with the big-mouthed scavenger in his hand.
The Big Mouth Scavenger looks ferocious, but its level is not high. Facing a level 15 hero, it cannot make any waves.
After being captured, these beings were still confused, as if they didn't understand what was going on.
Before he could react, he was imprisoned by the bubbles.
Under the great devil's super efficiency, within a short time, the Bubble Beast's bubbles were filled with Big Mouth Scavenger Beasts.
These beings with big mouths and bodies highly similar to lizards looked very stupid with their big eyes looking left and right.
The gray dwarf was a little confused when he saw this, and whispered.
"Great lord, the big-mouthed scavenger doesn't have a high IQ. It only eats and poops. It's very annoying."
"If you need it, I can take you back to Molten Iron City and let the city lord find another batch for you."
"Oh? Are big-mouthed scavengers common?"
"It's not that common, but it's not a rare thing. If you look carefully, you can still find it."
Lear became interested.
"How far is Molten Iron City from here?"
"It takes about three days of walking."
"Is that city the city of your gray dwarves?"
"Yes, sir! It belongs to us gray dwarves!!"
"Molten Iron City has a powerful crossbow corps, a fully armed heavy infantry corps, and in addition, the famous wild boar cavalry."
"It's the most powerful force around here!"
"The elves of the Psalm clan are as weak as newborn babies in front of our Molten Iron City."
"Really? What is the population of Molten Iron City?"
"More than 200,000! Our army exceeds 50,000. It can destroy most of the forces nearby!"
"Who is the most powerful in Molten Iron City? What level is it?"
"He is our city lord, level 19, only one step away from being extraordinary!"
"Level 19? No wonder. What is Molten Iron City's specialty?"
"The armor and weapons we produce are welcomed by all forces! If you are in need, you can also buy them in Molten Iron City. Gray dwarves do not discriminate against surface people."
"Interesting. What is the Crucible City missing?"
"The Molten Iron City lacks nothing! It only lacks wine!"
As he spoke, the gray dwarf showed a bit of pride on his face.
"And the auction house in Molten Iron City is famous around the Dark Mountains!"
"A semi-artifact was once auctioned here!"
"In two months' time, on the last day of December, the annual dark auction will begin."
“I highly recommend you attend one, the stuff inside will definitely open your eyes.”
Lear narrowed his eyes slightly.
Semi-artifact?
He turned to look at the night elf beside him.
Ishani noticed his gaze and nodded immediately.
"Yes, my lord, three years ago, there was a demigod-level weapon that was publicly auctioned in Molten Iron City."
"It was finally photographed by a level 19 tauren chief. A big riot broke out because of this."
"Their annual dark auction is very famous near the Dark Mountains. A large number of high-level treasures will appear every time."
Lear was very interested.
This underground world is really wild. I have never heard of any auction of semi-artifacts in Loland City. Of course, this may be because the original person was not of high enough class before and could not touch this kind of field.
After continuing to ask for a while, he roughly sketched a picture of Molten Iron City in his mind.
A dungeon with a level 19 hero, a complete army, sufficient logistical support, and prosperous trade, and has good prestige in this area.
But unfortunately, the opponent's main camp is also weapons, which conflicts with Weilu City.
Otherwise, it would not be an unacceptable thing to do business in the underground world.
If you have the chance, you can go explore Molten Iron City.
The underground world always has a unique attraction.
While talking, the big devil also completed his mission and caught all the big-mouthed scavengers.
All are being held in a bubble.
In the future, these will be your own fertilizer production tools.
Lear smiled happily.
Although there is no fertilizer plant, the solution in Fantasyland is simpler.
After the big devil finished his work, Bubblemon started his next move.
He pouted his mouth and blew out bubbles, which fell to the entrance of the cave.
The bubbles were like the mouth of a giant beast, eating away a large piece of soil, then floating up, flying aside and dumping it.
Bubble-intensive operations, like dozens of excavators doing high-intensity construction.
In less than half an hour, the one-meter-wide passage was widened to three meters in diameter and connected diagonally deep underground.
When Bubble Beast stopped moving, Lidun couldn't wait.
With full curiosity, he followed the passage and entered it.
After passing through a hole more than twenty meters long, we came to an oval space more than two meters high.
The diameter is about fifty meters.
As far as the eye can see, everything is densely packed with magma and charcoal.
You can intuitively feel its surging magic power.
True mine.
The smile on Lear's face grew brighter.
Once you get the magma charcoal, nothing can limit the blacksmith shop.
Now you can work at full speed! !
But after a while, he calmed down again.
Ore veins need to be mined.
Judging from the encounter just now, it is not that simple to achieve stable mining. It is necessary to establish a base in the underground world to provide sufficient security protection.
But in this case, it can only be postponed.
This underground passage is not a short distance from Weilu City, so establishing a base here is inevitably out of reach.
The current territory does not support him to mobilize too much force to stay here for a long time.
There are too few troops, and it is difficult to resist attacks such as the wave of bats, so it does not make much sense.
While thinking, his eyes regained their composure.
The fuel stored in the territory is still enough to be used for a while. It will not be too late to make arrangements after returning from Loland City at the end of the month.
After making a calm decision, Lear turned around and left the underground space without lingering.
He looked at the cute little guys beside him.
"Bury this hole and don't let outsiders discover it."
Bubblemon was also unambiguous, spitting out bubbles again and filling them with dirt, completely blocking the passage.
A large number of dead leaves were also covered on it, and the bubbles lightly erased the traces around it.
In this way, as long as no one suddenly comes here to dig more than ten meters in the ground, the magma and carbon will not be exposed.
After doing all this, Lear was in a very good mood.
The army was ordered to retreat and prepare to return.
Although I am very curious about this mysterious land.
But now is not the time to explore.
While waiting for the army to return to the underground passage, Lear seemed to have thought of something and looked at the short gray dwarf who had the aura of a gangster.
"Where are the Dark Mountains?"
The gray dwarf was stunned and whispered.
"Dear Lord, where we are now is at the edge of the Dark Mountains."
"Do you know the Kelder Skaven?"
This name made the gray dwarf look a little ugly.
"Those dirty rats killed an old red dragon some time ago. They have been particularly rampant recently."
"There are countless underground passages in the Dark Mountains. They are a natural refuge for those rats."
"It occupies almost half of the Dark Mountain Range."
"Even if it is Molten Iron City, we must avoid its sharp edges." "Once all those rats are dispatched, it will be a disaster more ferocious than the wave of bats."
There was a hint of unspeakable fear in his tone, and he had obviously seen the terror of those Kelder ratmen.
"You asked those rats, are there traces of them on the surface as well?"
Lear nodded slightly.
"My territory has killed thousands of Keld ratmen before, and they already know the passage to the surface."
The gray dwarf's expression suddenly became wonderful.
"Sir, you may not know that those rats are extremely vindictive and the surface of the earth is also very attractive to them."
"The Rat Queen must have set her sights on you."
Lear slightly looked at this guy in surprise.
This calculation is not bad.
The intelligence prompted the Rat Man to look towards the surface.
He had a hunch that maybe it wouldn't be long before he could see those rats in the swamp again.
But this time, it won't be as simple as before.
It can occupy half a long mountain range in the underground world, and even after killing the dragon, other races have not taken away the spoils.
One can imagine how powerful the opponent is.
But he didn't have any fear, instead he was looking forward to it.
After the gray dwarf finished speaking, he did not see the solemn look on Lear's face as expected, but instead saw the light in his eyes.
It seems that I am looking forward to that moment.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
Are all humans on the surface monsters?
That overwhelming rat tide was a natural disaster that even Molten Iron City was unwilling to face.
Why are you still looking forward to it?
In the end, it can only be attributed to the fact that humans on the surface have never seen the terror of rats.
Naturally, Lear would not say anything unnecessary to a prisoner.
When all the troops returned to the underground passage, they turned around and left.
At the same time, he also brought the gray dwarves with him.
As a member of Molten Iron City, this guy has some value.
It will come in handy when you go to the underground world in the future.
And the blacksmithing skills they possess are also quite strange.
It's interesting that weapons can lead people to evil.
When you go back, you can squeeze it out and see if the forging skills in the underground world can give the Fry people some inspiration.
The gray dwarf didn't dare to let out a fart, so he was kept in the bubble and took off.
But just as he was thinking about memorizing the path to the passage, he suddenly felt dizzy and fell into a deep sleep.
Watching the army gradually entering the passage, Lear was in a good mood.
The first exploration of the underground world was a complete success.
Not only the set targets - the big-mouthed scavenger, magma and coal, have been found.
In the wave of bats, the Tomb Guards harvested a large number of souls, and the attack power of the scythe soared.
And the level 14 Mist Shadow also took this opportunity to be directly upgraded to level 15.
At the same time, he also gained a preliminary understanding of the underground world through the words of the gray dwarves.
Next time you come back, you can build a mining base, and you can also go to the underground city of Molten Iron City to see the dark auction where semi-artifacts once appeared.
It took more than 8 hours to cross the long underground passage of more than 80 kilometers.
By the time we came out of the underground passage again, it was already the early morning of the 18th.
The sun has just risen, and the orange-red fireball hangs at the edge of the wilderness, and the morning glow in the sky is particularly eye-catching.
The round dew on the leaves of the grass and trees reflects the crystal and is full of vitality.
The bee swarm still firmly guards the surroundings, and no blind life dares to provoke.
Lear saw the sun and let out a sigh of relief.
Normally I don't feel much of it, but after going deep underground, I intuitively feel the value of sunlight.
Without stopping, he led the army back to the territory quickly.
Entering the wilderness, the speed immediately increased.
Although they were only away for a short day, everyone felt like they were home.
The cavalry moved forward at high speed, covering a distance of hundreds of kilometers in less than four hours.
It was noon when we returned to the city of Weilu.
Lear gave the gray dwarves to the blacksmith and asked the Freys to exchange forging skills with them.
Brin happily led the gray dwarf away.
Although they have the inheritance from their ancestors, they are also very happy to learn new forging skills.
A race that is stuck in its own way is not qualified to let the God of Forging cast a curse.
After the arrangements were made here, Bain was called again.
Signaling to the big-mouthed scavenger imprisoned in the bubble.
"These are big-mouthed scavengers, and their excrement can be used as high-grade fertilizer."
"You can have someone test the specific effectiveness."
"Also, keep them near the pig farm and try to cultivate colorful moss first."
Bain looked at the monsters with exaggerated bloody mouths and lizard-like bodies with great curiosity.
"The name Big Mouth Scavenger is really apt."
"I'll arrange it immediately."
Lear nodded and continued.
"In addition, I found magmatic charcoal in the underground world that can replace the fuel of the blacksmith shop."
“The quality is as high as 3 stars!”
"Excellent forging fuel."
"After a while, we will excavate it. The fuel problem of the blacksmith shop can be solved."
"In addition, you go and bring back all the cavemen who are still in the iron mine, and let them mine magmatic carbon. The original iron mine will suspend mining."
"In the future, ordinary iron ore can be obtained directly from the Night Shadow tribe and barbarian territory."
"Our manpower is scarce, and it would be more beneficial to put them in important places."
Obtaining ore from the outside will not affect the foundation of Weilu City. As long as it has the mineral veins, it can be put back into production at any time.
Don't be afraid of any changes.
The swamp hero responded quickly.
Lear didn't say much and let the other party go down.
Then I thought about it and took the big-mouthed scavenger to the pig farm in person.
He was extremely curious about these guys.
What kind of advanced fertilizer is it?
He called two vine fairies to weave a pigsty and placed these big-mouthed scavengers inside.
Then I saw that these underground beings were so naive that they made no move to escape. Instead, they began to crazily eat the weeds on the surface.
This area of lush vegetation was chewed away in less than two hours until only the soil was exposed, not even the grass roots were spared.
Seeing this, Lear thought of what the gray dwarf said: He has a low IQ and only knows how to eat and poop.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
But it’s okay, the function of this thing is to excretory, why do you have to be so smart?
Seeing that he was still not full, he called the nearby staff and harvested a batch of colorful moss for feeding.
These big-mouthed scavengers seemed to have no idea what it felt like to be full, eating as much as they came.
Lear's eyelids jumped.
The three-tailed pig next door is not so exaggerated.
In this way, he continued to eat from noon to evening, and finally Lear saw them pooping.
Its excrement is as granular as sheep dung, and it can be sensed that it contains a touch of magic power.
Several workers collected a basket of feces and poured it into a nearby area planted with colorful moss.
I saw that the colorful moss that had become wilted after being harvested immediately bloomed with vitality.
It was like the video was played in multiples, extending in all directions at an extremely fast speed.
Just a fist-sized amount of feces was spilled on it, causing the piece of colorful moss to expand to an area four to five meters wide, with a thick growth of 20 centimeters high. It looked quite exaggerated.
Is this high-grade fertilizer? !
Lear only felt that it was an eye-opener.
This piece of colorful moss can feed a pig.
That's awesome.
With strong excitement, I tried several more times and found that they were almost the same, making the colorful moss grow exaggeratedly.
What a baby, what a baby! !
He looked at the big-mouthed scavenger as if he were seeing mountains of gold.
From now on, what kind of feed will I have to worry about and what kind of food will I worry about? !
After some experiments, I am still not satisfied.
Someone picked up some and returned to the territory, splashing it on the roots of the pitcher plants.
Then I saw the pitcher plant began to sway as if it had taken an aphrodisiac, and then lifted up little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lear's eyes grew hot.
What the hell is this high-grade fertilizer? It’s simply a growth accelerator!
I thought that the Big Mouth Scavenger was just an ordinary harvest, but I didn’t expect that this is a heavyweight treasure! (End of chapter)
