Chapter 175 Metal Box, the Seed of Civilization (1)

Why is the rectangular treasure house inserted into the soil at a steep angle?

Long Bai thought of two reasons:

In the first one, there are heavy treasures concentrated at the bottom section. They fall from a high altitude and hit the ground first with the heavy end;

The second one is that the treasure house is spinning and falling, which is similar to the fact that every time you practice an air roll, you always land head first.

Of course, there may be two reasons coexisting.

If it had rotated and fallen, all the goods inside might have been thrown away.

Long Bai led the specialized blue soldiers and continued to use water abilities to first drain the water at the top of the treasure house.

This part is empty, nothing.

At the same time, Heiti directed the worker ants to dig into the treasure house and clean up the accumulated sediment.

If there are any treasures left in the treasure house, they must be concentrated at the bottom.

However, because the treasure house is inserted into the ground at an angle of 60 degrees, the internal sediment is soft and the bottom cannot be directly dug. The upper sediment will collapse.

It's a little troublesome. First, dig a tunnel from the upper level and dig at the bottom while transporting gravel for backfilling. The operation is relatively complicated, so Heiti leads the worker ants in their work and pays attention at all times.

This place is more than 20 meters deep underground, with water seeping from all sides and is muddy and wet.

After a while, Long Bai used his water system ability to discharge groundwater.

After four busy days,

Suddenly, a joyful pheromone smell came from the treasure house, and Hei Ti ran out with a black metal box in his mouth, placing it in front of Long Bai.

"Your Majesty! I found a treasure!"

"oh--"

Previously, Mo Lan found the kind that was given to Qing Ma and Hong Ma, a creation of an extraterrestrial civilization specially used to preserve seeds. The shape, size, color and pattern are all exactly the same.

Long Bai twisted up the metal box, looked through it briefly, found the front, and injected his original power into it.

The metal box cracked from the pattern, and the metal retreated in all directions like water, revealing the five black "seeds" stored in it.

Because too much time has passed, the seeds have decayed and exposed to air, causing many cracks on the surface.

Long Bai placed the thing on the ground, stretched out his right front foot, and tried to twist it to take a closer look. As soon as the tip of his toe touched it, the seed intensified and cracked, breaking into pieces.

"Your Majesty! Seed?" Heiti came up.

"These are the plant seeds plundered when human civilization destroyed the creator's civilization..." Long Bai sighed softly, with complicated emotions.

"The seeds are broken..." Heiti asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, can this creation of an extraterrestrial civilization still be used?"

Long Bai: "Obviously."

Heiti asked eagerly: "Then how much is the rough stone worth?"

Long Bai evaluated it and said: "It has a beautiful appearance, clever design, and has the practical function of preserving precious seeds. It will definitely sell a lot of rough stones. It's hard to say exactly."

Long Bai waved his tentacles and said: "It's good if you get something! Let's look at the quantity first! This kind of box can be kept for your own use. If the life seeds bred by age evolution cannot be sown in time, you can use it to preserve it. It is better than putting it in a bamboo tube and The spider silk bag is 10,000 times safer. Or if there is a god-given seed that cannot be put into the life bag to be conceived at the first time, you can also use this metal box to store it first, so it is foolproof."

Long Bai urged: "Keep digging!"

Not long after, cheering pheromones came from the cave.

Heiti ran out with a metal box in his mouth.

"Your Majesty, it's still a metal box!"

Behind him, three large worker ants ran out with a metal box in their mouths, placed the things in front of Long Bai, and then hurriedly returned.

"Your Majesty, there are still more inside! There are many piled up together."

"Be careful, dig them all out."

Long Bai made a judgment in his mind. This was a treasure house specially used to store plant seeds.

Under Heiti's command, the worker ants delivered 47 metal boxes in succession.

Long Bai opened and checked them one by one.

Unfortunately, without exception, all seeds have died and decayed under the power of time and space.

Heiti and the others dug to the bottom of the treasure house, and after a while, the second batch of metal boxes came out.

After a while, several more metal boxes were delivered intermittently.

Heiti was still enthusiastic.

After Long Bai was briefly excited, he began to think calmly: How to sell these metal boxes?

——Qiye cannot be trusted and does not consider anything.

——Bai Wei can be trusted, and he is the only one willing to help transport rough stones in large quantities, but his personality is too out-of-touch, and he always gives the insect a feeling that his work is unreliable.

——Luo Li has a calm personality, but cannot be completely trusted.

——There is currently no shortage of force food in Fanglan Mountain. If it is sold, it is best to exchange it for raw stones.

The metal box is a creation of an extraterrestrial civilization that has never appeared on the mainland. The specific price is not yet certain, but it will never be low.

Long Bai estimates that one rough stone can be sold for about 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.

There are 106 of them neatly placed in front of you, worth more than one million rough stones.

"Or, you can consider seeking exchange... for divine force food!"

"Liufeng Mountain, God bestowed six Taoist disciples..."

Long Bai thought for a moment and immediately gave up the idea.

The divine seed that strengthens the soul cannot be exchanged, and it is not eligible for exchange.

"Compared to the cheaper ones, there may be some hope of replacing some of the divine seeds that confer special abilities with, for example, the Zeqi Spider King..."

"The Zeqi Spider King is easier to talk to, and I am very close to its direct descendants Luo Li and Bai Wei..."

The inherited memory of the natural god, the seed given by the god is the seed given by the god, there is no distinction between high and low, no distinction of 'divine quality'.

‘Divine products’ are defined by Zerg warriors. Their common characteristics are extremely low yield and long flowering and fruiting cycle.

They are roughly divided into soul, lifespan, elemental granting, special ability granting and other rare effects.

They are all very expensive, with a starting price of one million rough stones, and there is no upper limit on the price. You can't buy them even if you have rough stones. Even the relevant information has been deliberately concealed, so ordinary insects have no way of knowing.

When Long Bai followed the caravan on the mainland, he heard Luo Li talk about it.

Luo Li's knowledge of the 'divine item' was also extremely limited. It was some information he picked up piecemeal from the Zeqi Spider King.

The Zeqi Spider King has a hundreds of years of trade relationship with the Youlian Queen Bee of the Youlian Kingdom. The 'Youlian God-given Seed' of the Youlian Queen Bee is a 'divine product', with a flowering and fruiting cycle of 11 years. Only 1 flower produces only 11 lotus seeds.

There are conditions for consumption, and the evolution level must be at the Mountain Lord level and above.

After eating it, you will gain a special ability named 'Nether Lotus Form', and your body will enter an illusory state in a short period of time, avoiding all attacks.

The 'Nether Lotus Form' perfectly matches the mantis warrior's stealth and camouflage ability, and Mo Lan can take one.

The Zeqi Spider King has a very good relationship with the Youlian Queen Bee. Every time the Youlian God-given seeds are produced, the Zeqi Spider King has a trading share of up to 6 seeds, almost a monopoly.

The Zeqi Spider King regularly sells divine Youlian seeds to the 14 major tribes in Wanzu Continent.

The price of 1 million rough stones was purchased from Queen Bee of Youlian. The selling price is unknown.

According to Luo Li, the Zeqi Spider King does not make money from the seeds given by the gods.

Long Bai thought about it, and there was a high probability that he could use the metal box to exchange the divine lotus seeds with the Zeqi Spider King.

According to Luo Li, the Zeqi Spider King also has stable trading rights for a kind of 'elemental endowment' type of divine product, God-given seed.

It's called the 'Mountain Pillar Fruit', which is produced by a mutated Shield Mountain tree gifted by the gods. The flowering and fruiting cycle is as long as 23 years. After eating it, there is a certain chance of gaining the earth element talent, and then mastering various earth abilities.

The Zeqi Spider King was bought at a sky-high price of 4 million raw stones per stone, and it only had a purchase share of 1 stone in each batch.

Long Bai guessed that if he gains the earth element talent again, the corresponding ruling throne will also increase the number of soldier ants and worker ants who inherit the earth element ability.

But the price of ‘Mountain Pillar Fruit’ is so expensive that I couldn’t even think about it before.

Now,

Long Bai looked at the metal box in front of him, weighed it carefully, thought about it, and gave up the idea.

In exchange for the 'Mountain Pillar Fruit', the metal box is far from up to par. For this type of divine fruit, one can only take out divine fruits of the same level or a similar level and barter for them. Or only those from a wealthy and large tribe are qualified to negotiate purchases from the Spider King.

God-given seeds also have high and low levels.

Generally speaking, the most expensive thing is the soul; the second is the gift of elemental talents; the third is lifespan, and the third is the gift of special abilities. But it's not absolute. The price of some divine force fruits that grant heaven-defying abilities can even exceed that of souls.

What Long Bai needs most is the gift of elemental talent, but this kind of god-given seed is the rarest.

The six paths to strengthen the soul are valuable, but through large-scale cultivation of six paths and perseverance, one day you can obtain the corresponding god-given seeds from a small probability.

What the ants are best at is large-scale planting.

However, the God-given seeds of the 'Element-endowed' type are not the fixed birth of God-given seeds of a certain kind of plant. It is an element-enhanced type of plant, mutated during the process of giving birth to a god-given seed.

It cannot be obtained stably through large-scale cultivation of a certain plant.

"A super-grade god-given seed is no less than a divine grade."

"Azure blue is the best."

"After I evolve to the king level, the super-grade force fruit of the azure god-given seed is no less than a god-grade one!"

"Actually, I have the potential qualifications to negotiate with the Zeqi Spider King or the Caowu Spider King to purchase the divine force fruit..."

Long Bai weighed and calculated in his mind.

Waves of cheering pheromones came from the passage.

Heiti shook his tentacles and sent a message: "Your Majesty, we have found the big guy!"

PS: The penguin colony seems to have no other use besides being updated, so just disband it.
