Chapter 1,369 Black Grassland
"So, let's move on!"
Ye Chen took a brief rest and then continued to move forward with An Xiaoxi.
Of course, after Ye Chen conquered Xiao Hei, the entire Nether Mantis territory became his back garden.
On the road again, of course Ye Chen and An Xiaoxi were not alone.
At this time, Ye Chen was sitting on a giant ghost mantis.
An Xiaoxi was sitting behind him. The giant Nether Mantis moved forward quickly and steadily. On both sides of it, there were a team of Nether Mantis with a body length of more than 20 feet guarding it.
Only Xiao Hei continued to stay in the cave. Because he signed a contract with him, these ghost mantises in the entire misty swamp also obeyed Ye Chen's command.
Ye Chen directly used his authority to recruit 1,200 Netherworld Mantises with a body length of more than 20 feet as his imperial guards.
The combat capabilities of these Nether Mantises, which are over 20 feet long, are not much comparable to those of the demon gods in the prehistoric continent.
This is equivalent to Ye Chen leading 1,200 demon gods in the misty swamp. As for the mount under his crotch, it is one of Xiao Hei's guards, with a body length of more than 100 feet.
Now Ye Chen is so majestic, these 1,200 Netherworld Praying Mantises Ye Chen has also organized a team for them.
200 Nether Mantises serve as the forward, 200 serve as the left and right wings, and the rest follow behind him.
The Nether Mantises at the front were already in the lead, and they scattered around Ye Chen for dozens of miles, constantly transmitting the situation ahead to Ye Chen's mind.
Along the way, Ye Chen and his team were like locusts crossing the border. Whenever they encountered a mineral deposit, Ye Chen gave an order, and 1,000 Netherworld Mantises immediately swarmed up. The mining speed of these Netherworld Mantises was extremely abnormal. It only takes less than half a day to mine all the rare mineral deposits with a ton output. This efficiency is hundreds of times higher than when it was just him and An Xiaoxi?
An Xiaoxi is now completely liberated. He only needs to sit on top of the giant ghost mantis and try his best to use his own expertise to discover those treasures and treasures that are not easy to detect.
In Ye Chen's small world, the blacksmiths were almost going crazy with joy. In the recent period, all kinds of rare mineral deposits were like rain, constantly falling from the sky, forming formations in the small world. Mine after mine.
What made them regretful was that the concentrates such as black iron essence or red copper essence provided by Ye Chen at the beginning were very rare.
As long as Xiao Hei has now taken refuge in Ye Chen, Ye Chen is naturally embarrassed to massacre his people to obtain those concentrates.
Instead, there are inexhaustible and inexhaustible scarce minerals that have not undergone any processing.
Ye Chen immediately ordered a group of blacksmiths to be specially trained in the small world to refine these minerals. Mainly because they were far away from the Samsara Dynasty, Ye Chen promised to send 100,000 blacksmiths to them after they returned to the Samsara Dynasty.
Ye Chen stopped and walked along the way. What made him most happy was that he discovered several veins of top-grade fairy stones. These things did not need to be refined again. He immediately commanded the Netherworld Mantis to dig out these veins of top-grade fairy stones. Empty.
Suddenly, there were hundreds of millions of top-quality fairy stones in Ye Chen's storage. This made Ye Chen's cultivation even faster, and he continued to consolidate its foundation. Ye Chen also felt that he was getting closer and closer to breaking through to Daluo Jinxian. Close.
Later, Ye Chen also discovered a phenomenon, that is, these Nether Mantises also have a very large appetite. An ordinary Nether Mantis with a body length of 20 feet would eat hundreds of kilograms of raw minerals each time.
However, what puzzled Ye Chen was that these ghost mantises were like wild animals. They were only seen eating, but they were never excreted.
Can't light get in or out?
One time, Ye Chen had a bad idea and directly ordered a few ghost mantises to keep eating, even if they were full.
In this way, these Netherworld Praying Mantiss swallowed thousands of kilograms of raw ore in one day. Something unexpected happened. After these Netherworld Praying Mantises could no longer eat, they suddenly expelled several pieces from their rear. A concentrate the size of a fist.
This discovery made Ye Chen overjoyed. He finally found a good way to collect concentrate without having to kill Xiao Hei's people.
Xiaohei's people were everywhere. Ye Chen immediately recruited 5,000 Netherworld Mantises, took them to a mining area rich in minerals, and then issued a death order.
That’s eating! Keep eating! Keep eating!
Ye Chen conducted an experiment like this. These 5,000 Nether Mantises can provide Ye Chen with more than 5,000 kilograms of concentrate every day. That is to say, on average, if one Nether Mantis keeps eating, it can provide 1 kilogram. Concentrate.
This ratio is relatively high. If the blacksmiths were to continuously purify it, the ratio would not be so high.
Then Ye Chen specially made An Xiaoxi do this. He ordered An Xiaoxi to ride that giant mantis to search for those dense mining areas outside the misty swamp, and then left 5,000 ghost mantises in each mining area to keep eating. , providing concentrate.
Ye Chen threw several huge-capacity Qiankun rings to An Xiaoxi. Each Qiankun ring could hold hundreds of thousands of tons of concentrate.
Just half a month later, Ye Chen once again accumulated a large amount of concentrate. Now the blacksmiths in the small world were happy. As long as they had these concentrates, they could continue to forge immortal weapons.
Now Ye Chen's leisurely days are over, because the environment ahead has obviously changed greatly. On the outskirts of the misty swamp, the most common thing is this kind of barren mining area and rare mineral veins everywhere, but after crossing a vast desert After that, patches of prairie appeared in front of them, with no end in sight.
Judging from the information provided by Xiao Hei, the area ahead is the Nether Knight. The Nether Knight and the Nether Mantis have always been on the same page, but they are also mortal enemies.
If the Nether Mantis crosses the boundary, it will be attacked crazily by the Nether Knight.
Now that Ye Chen is here, he has no intention of living in peace with these Nether Knights, and he does not believe that this evil directly controlled these 1,200 Nether Mantises to enter the territory of the Nether Knights, the black grassland.
After advancing less than fifty miles, information suddenly came from the Netherworld Mantis in front. They had discovered the Netherworld Knight.
Ye Chen immediately ordered them not to act rashly and not to alert the enemy, that is, to wait for him to pass before making a decision.
