Chapter 44 The Mystery of Nature

I told Huo Yan and the other six about our purpose of coming, and then they started to discuss it. The answer they gave was that they didn't know anything about the golden dragon, and they hadn't even heard of Biling and White Jade Qilin. Even if the three great beasts that protect the country are not top-notch existences in this era, they should at least be very famous monsters. But why doesn't anyone know them? Is the name wrong?

"Think about it again, have you really never heard of it?"

Shu shook his head: "I will definitely remember what I have heard. This is definitely not a name I have heard of."

"What about this?" Zhenhong took out a video crystal and displayed the video he had seen before.

Feng and the others looked at the huge three-dimensional image projected in the air by the crystal ball in surprise. Although this image was not as shocking as the panoramic video we watched, it still perfectly showed Bi Ling's terrifying power. combat effectiveness. Huo trembled and asked: "This, this, this... what is this? Why is it so strong?"

We didn't answer her words, because the video of the white jade unicorn appeared next, which frightened them all. It was even more amazing when the Golden Dragon appeared in the last section. This guy was simply a super king of destruction, with terrifyingly powerful combat capabilities.

Dajin looked at the picture and asked us: "Is this really what happened at the battle scene?"

"Absolutely yes." I continued: "They should be the big monsters of your generation, but in our place they are called the guardian beasts, and they are the real peak force. We need their help now, so We have to find them.”

"But we really haven't seen them!"

Jin Coin suddenly said: "That's wrong! The China in the video is already in an independent Asia, but now the continents are still connected together. Could it be that we arrived too early?"

We were all stunned when the gold coin said this. yes! Before, I only thought that the sacred beasts that protected the country were strong men in ancient times, but I forgot that ancient times were not just one era. According to what is shown in the video, the various continents on the earth have basically been formed. They shouldn't be gathered together. Could it be that we really came before those three guys were born?

Kristina said: "You can't say that, right? According to your Chinese tradition, monsters can only become more powerful as they get older. Even if they are geniuses, they have to learn for at least many years. Since those three are all sacred beasts that protect the country, , which at least shows that they are not young. If you calculate it this way, they should be monsters from the prehistoric era. They are even somewhat famous now, but they are not as famous as they were in our time."

I thought for a while and asked: "Feng, do you know if there are any monsters here that you are relatively well informed about?"

"To say they are well-informed, they have to be busy people. There is almost nothing in this world that they don't know."

"Busy ghost? What is it?"

"It's a very small monster. It's about this high." Feng gestured at the height of about one meter beside him. "They can become invisible. And there are so many of them, especially since they are a race that can't sit still and likes to work around, so they are called busy ghosts. If they don't even know about it, then they definitely don't exist anymore."

After getting Feng's suggestion, we went directly to the leader of the busy ghost. Fortunately, the busy ghost's own combat effectiveness was average, so he often sold information in exchange for some benefits. We talked to the leader of Busy Ghost. Finally, it was decided to exchange this information with a pile of exquisite food.

The busy ghost leader in red leather with a horn on his head said while eating the good food we gave him: "I have seen the faces of the three people you just showed me, but I don't know. Are they the three in the picture you gave me? Anyway, I don’t think they are.”

"Why?" Kristina asked.

"Because there is too much difference in strength!" Leader Busy Ghost said: "I can know what my people have seen. From the intelligence of their return, these three are indeed very strong, and their strength has increased by leaps and bounds during this period. They are very powerful. They are among the best among our magic cultivators. However, they are far from the state in the picture you showed me. To reach that level, even at their cultivation speed, it will take at least several thousand years. .”

"It doesn't matter, as long as the appearance and name match." We have now determined that we arrived too early. Therefore, these three later guardian beasts will still be unknown people, with no fame at all. The Chinese version of Genesis that we originally watched should still be tens of thousands of years after this, and their current strength is generally normal. It would be weird if they were at that level now.

The busy ghost leader said: "Since you think it is, then go and confirm. I will send someone to take you there."

I smiled and said: "Master Chief, I have another thing to discuss with you."

"Is there anything else? Then you can tell us." This leader was very happy after receiving so much food from us. Of course he was very polite to us.

"It's like this, I've taken a fancy to some things. I hope I can collect them and take them back. But as you can see, there are not many of us, and there are a lot of things to bring, so I want your men to help collect and pack the things. Go to my space equipment. Of course, I won’t let you work in vain, I can give you benefits.”

"Of course that's no problem. We're usually busy anyway."

The minerals of this era really fascinate me. It would be uncomfortable if I didn't take it with me. So after I discovered that there were so many busy ghosts, I immediately had the idea of ​​hiring them to help me mine. I've seen the mining area in front of Dajin's house before, and the purity of most minerals is around 60 to 70 percent. In modern times, this is a super bonanza. You must know that the purity of most mineral deposits in the world is around 30%, and many special minerals are even as low as a few percent or even a few thousandths. Besides, the mines in this era are almost all open-pit mines, and the difficulty of mining is almost zero. Mining is simply picking up ore, and you can just crush it and install it.

After discussing for a long time, we finally exchanged a lot of weird things for the labor of 150 million busy people and ten working days. Kristina and I were very surprised by this transaction. First, we were surprised by the number of busy ghosts, and secondly, we were surprised by their hobbies. These guys don't want precious metals at all. To them, gold and silver are just stones with strange colors, and gems are just another kind of stone. In addition to food and drinks, the items we exchanged also included many things like toys or clothing. They even liked some exquisite hand-carved items. Fortunately, due to the super carrying power of Fenglong, the players in our guild have developed the habit of picking up things randomly. Kristina and I took out all the strange items in our Fenglong space. It actually built up a small mountain, which even we found incredible, and we were still wondering when it was put in!

After the deal was finalized, I first connected to Rose’s Love Ring. Then let her find someone to bring a large number of designated items to the ancient ruins we traveled through. Since we can come here, it at least means that time can be crossed in that place, so I want to try if I can send something over.

Due to the large transaction volume this time, the Ghost King also became particularly enthusiastic. With his repeated insistence, we had no choice but to take him with us. First we reached the entrance of the passage we crossed. After waiting for a while, my love ring lit up. I stretched my hand forward slightly, and the ring of love immediately projected the silhouette of a rose in front of me. "Husband, what you want is already in place."

"Where are you now?"

"I'm in the passage, but Crystal Chocolate and Noreen entered that room with more than a hundred members. You want too many things. Three or two players' Phoenix Dragons can't fit in them. Our Phoenix Dragons don't look like that. You, the Phoenix and Dragon Queen, are so good at pretending!"

"That's good. Did you tell them how to activate it?"

"I told you, I just don't know if I can reach you."

"I think it should be fine!"

Rose smiled and said: "It doesn't matter anyway, because there is a big shot inside. Even if he can't reach your era, he can still bring everyone back to us."

"Who is so powerful?"

"I'll know when I see you. I'll ask them to activate the equipment right away. If they arrive, just let me know." After Rose said this, she cut off the communication.

There is nothing we can do now but wait. We only waited for a few minutes, when a stream of water suddenly spurted out from the channel in front of us. Without haste, we were all swept away by the water. Kristina got up from the water and said, "I actually forgot that when the channel opens, it will bring the water over there!"

Zhenhong smiled and said: "This at least proves that the transmission was successful."

Zhenhong is right. Water spraying out at least means that the passage must be open, which means they are coming. As we were talking, a person came out of the hole in front of us, and we were all stunned.

"Lord Qinglong?" The first person to walk out of the passage was none other than Qinglong, the number one among China's Four Sacred Beasts. No wonder Rose said that even if the transmission goes wrong, she can take people back. It turns out that Qinglong came with them. Qinglong has the Seal of Calling Time, which can lead people to cross the time barrier. It is not trivial to lead a few people. And I heard that each of the four holy beasts has a similar move. If used at the same time, it can change the destiny. This change of destiny may be difficult to understand. Translated, the four of them together can roll back the whole server. This trick is even better than GM. If I can't beat you, I'll turn back. What I did just now doesn't count. However, this move is very restrictive and cannot be used casually. After all, it is too powerful!

"Haha, you are indeed here." Qinglong was very polite. "It happened that the Jade Emperor asked us to cooperate with you to deal with Buddhism. I wanted to discuss the specific matters with you, but unexpectedly I heard that you had arrived in the mainland of the prehistoric era. So I came together." Qinglong said and looked around. . Then he said: "So this is the ancient continent! It's so beautiful!"

"Master Qinglong, can't he travel freely through time? Have you never seen it?"

Qinglong was amused by me. "Do you think crossing the time barrier means walking through a wall? It's not that fun. If you are not careful, you will be involved in the time fragments, and it will be completely ruined. I will not 'happen' through it unless necessary."

"President, you can really run!" Crystal Chocolate also jumped out of the passage. "He actually came to visit ancient times. He didn't even call us. It's really biased."

"Tch, look who are the people I brought with me? Have you brought so many thugs out to play?" True Red, Gold Coin and Kristina, this is Frost's peak combat power. How can I take them with me when traveling? reason!

Crystal Chocolate doesn’t stand up to me either. He ran directly to Kristina. "How is it here? Is it fun?"

"It's fun, but it's too dangerous." Kristina said it truthfully. We walked around here for nearly a day and saw many monsters. According to the information from the busy ghost leader, the monsters here are generally divided into two levels. There are many garbage monsters and many masters, especially some monsters called ferocious beasts, which are no less than the eight-headed guy from rb. If ordinary players are targeted by them. Don’t even think about running!

While they were chatting, I first reported peace to Rose, and then led everyone closer to the mineral concentration point. This time I called so many people here to let them mine, and what I asked them to bring was mining equipment.

After arriving at the place, everyone immediately started to take out all the things stored in their Fenglong space, and then quickly assembled those big things with the help of my giant magic pet. Noreen, the technical director of the guild, also came here this time. She is a mechanical doll and an alchemist herself, and she knows a lot about minerals. Most of the people who came this time were from the guild. The auxiliary professional players are all masters of alchemy.

The gang was separated by me. Some people went to check whether the various natural resources of this era were valuable, and the other part stayed to screen minerals and direct the busy work. Although the number of busy ghosts is large, it is actually very simple to command. Unlike ordinary workers, the characteristic of busy people is that they are always on the move, so no one will be lazy. Just pay attention to teach them how to mine.

Noreen almost couldn't walk when she saw the minerals. It was the first time she had seen so many high-purity minerals. The iron ore in many places could almost be regarded as low-quality pig iron, without even beneficiation. Just smelt it directly. The most outrageous thing is that our people actually found a whole piece of natural nickel ore. You must know that nickel is a rare ore. If the content exceeds 15%, it is considered a rich ore. And here actually appeared a piece of nickel with a purity as high as 99%. The whole piece of nickel ore is simply a miracle.

After our prospecting team was fully deployed, we found more than 100 useful minerals within a radius of several thousand kilometers. I contacted Rose through Love Ring, and after our discussion, we decided to abandon common minerals such as iron and copper. collection work. The purpose of iron is to make steel. The steel reserves in Steel City are far greater than our consumption standards, and can basically be considered as unlimited ore, so there is no need to pour iron ore all the way back from here. Our method for selecting collection standards is very simple, that is, the mineral must be a rare mineral, the kind of mineral that is difficult to find in modern times and has great uses. If this condition is not met, then it must be a precious metal such as gold. If both conditions are not met, then we will never waste time mining.

Almost all the mineral types finally selected are extremely valuable. And these minerals are all natural minerals with high purity. Noreen sighed: "I feel like we are moving finished products from someone else's warehouse. It's not like mining at all." As she said this, she handed a piece of amethyst as big as a human head to me. "check it out."

My eyes widened. "Magic crystal? Where did you find it?"

"It's all over the ground over there." Noreen said with a weird expression: "Don't you think it's strange? Amethyst is almost as precious a mineral as magic crystal in modern times, but here it is actually spread on the ground in sheets. On. And there is no need for polishing or carving at all, they are already perfect pyramid shapes. If these things really once existed on the earth, why are they so rare in modern times?"

"It's really weird for you to say that." I also started to feel a little weird. Everyone knows the reason why heavy metals sink, but crystals are not heavy. They should not sink into the ground, so there should not be such a shortage of amethyst mines in modern times. In "Zero", the attribute of amethyst is to strengthen magic power. It is a top-quality gemstone of the mage family. Almost all professions related to magic need this thing, but there are very few of it. If it could be mined in large quantities in modern times, wouldn’t it be buried in money?

Norin suddenly said: "Ziri. I have an idea that may explain the whereabouts of the amethyst. If it can be confirmed, then I think the problem of manufacturing the golem will be completely solved."

"Tell me."

Noreen did not answer me directly, but asked first: "Do you know the composition of amethyst?"

"It seems to be polyhydrate and potassium silicate, with a small amount of mithril and copper sulfate. Why do you ask?"

Noreen still did not answer me, but continued to ask: "Do you know the composition of magic crystal?" I shook my head, and Noreen continued: "The composition of magic crystal is polyhydric acid, potassium silicate, and a small amount of mithril. and copper sulfate.”

"The ingredients are the same?"

"It's not exactly the same." Norin corrected: "The copper sulfate content in magic crystal is lower than that of amethyst, while the red-striped magic crystal that can be charged repeatedly does not contain copper sulfate at all, and the magic silver in it is completely It exists in the form of silver ions. Do you know what this means?"

I continued to shake my head.

"This means that the magic crystal is probably transformed from amethyst."

"It is very simple to prove this inference." I pressed both ends of the amethyst in my hands with both hands, and then input magic power into the center. The amethyst was originally used as a magic amplifier, but instead of asking it to emit magic, I just poured magic into it. My magic power obviously cannot overload such a large crystal, and there is no change after the magic power is exhausted. I quickly summoned all my magic pets, and then everyone came together.

Among my demon pets are Ling and Xiaochun, two legal gods with extremely high magic levels. Their magic power is much stronger than mine. As Xiaochun and Ling took action, the crystal suddenly lit up.

Noreen said excitedly: "It's almost time. Try harder."

Lucky also came over and put his hand on the crystal. The dragon's magic power was not low. The crystal gradually began to become as dazzling as the sun, but the light suddenly went out after reaching a certain intensity, accompanied by a clicking sound. The amethyst actually cracked, and then crashed to the ground in our hands, breaking into dozens of small crystal pieces.

"Am I wrong in my thinking?" Nolin picked up a fragment in confusion, but it was no longer a translucent amethyst. The fragment turned into a black thing, completely opaque and non-reflective, looking like a black hole.

I suddenly thought of a possibility, and then quickly picked up a piece of debris. "Yeyue, Sha Yezi, Shuangxue, input magic power into this thing, don't be stingy, just input it all."

The three magic pets with good magic power began to input their magic power according to my instructions. I saw that the color of the black objects they were holding began to gradually fade, and finally began to gradually become transparent. When the thing became completely transparent, I could already recognize it. It was a magic crystal, but it was a magic crystal with no energy at all. This kind of magic crystal seems to have no other use except lighting, and its practical value is not great.

Noreen looked at the newly completed magic crystal and said, "Do you know any way to ionize the magic silver?"

The only difference between red-streaked magic crystal and ordinary white magic crystal is that one carries magic silver like impurities, while the other contains a large amount of ionized active magic silver. If there is a way to make the magic silver ions in ordinary magic crystal Transformation, that is basically equivalent to being able to create red-striped magic crystal by yourself.

Kristina, who was leading people prospecting everywhere, came back to us at some point and listened to our words and added a sentence. "It's not easy to activate the magic silver!"

"Do you know how?"

Kristina nodded: "The method is actually very simple."
