Chapter 263 Natural Formation
Chapter 263 Natural Array
After solving the meal problem with "Norman" and adding some frozen barbecue to him, I took the adventure team to start a game of finding monsters.
Focusing on the "Five Elements Array" I set up and the "Eight Trigrams Array" that I added as the center, I searched in all directions. The first priority is of course to find one of my goals this time - Chi Jiao.
But our luck was not good. Although we successfully attracted several monsters with weak strength to let "Norman" practice, the monster in my mind that was strong but just within my ability was missing.
After searching for a radius of 100 miles centered on the formation, I did not gain much, "Norman" and I decided to transfer the position, moved the formation forward for two hundred miles in one direction, and then went down again.
"Boss, look at a footprint here!" I, who was busy setting up the "Five Elements Array", heard the slightly panicked scream of "Norman".
"Footprints are footprints!" I, who knows the important role of the formation in this "Kunlun Secret Realm", has successively set up the ninth level of the "Five Elements Formation" and three levels of the "Eight Trigrams Formation". According to my estimate, such a formation may be able to block the continuous bombardment of a spirit beast dozens of times.
As for what happens after a few dozen strokes, it is not something I can predict. It is possible that my formation still supports it, but the greater possibility is that they collapsed under the powerful attack of the spirit beasts, and then I will embark on a journey of escape.
"But, the boss's footprint is a bit different! - very different!" As if to strengthen his tone, "Norman" paused and added three more words.
"Oh, what's the difference?" What's the special thing about footprints? At most, they're just a little bigger and smaller. I think "Norman" probably saw an extremely huge footprint.
However, the larger the monsters, most of them are thick skin and thick flesh, with strong defense and attack power, but they lose completely to us in terms of flexibility and air superiority. I generally don't care about such monsters.
And according to my judgment, there are no very powerful monsters in this "Kunlun Secret Realm". I even guess that this layer is purely a world of monsters, and the master of it should be monsters with the same strength as the "Ear Rat King" and the evolved "Golden Tiger". It is precisely because of this that the monsters that originally surrounded and watched the "Ear Rat King" fight and the "Golden Tiger" left after seeing the "Ear Rat King" appear, and no longer had the idea of getting a bargain.
"Boss, this is a human footprint!" "Norman"'s voice was full of excitement.
Human? This is definitely a great discovery! After hearing this sentence, I immediately left my work behind and quickly came to "Norman" to watch the footprints of that person.
It is indeed as "Norman" said, this is a person's footprint, and it is the kind of footprints that are stepped on by barefoot. I can be very sure of this when I once played barefoot on the mud.
Human? What is this concept? As far as I know, no one knows the existence of the "Kunlun Secret Realm" at present, unless he also accepted the commission from Lu Zhi.
However, from the footprints, we can see that this person is not a player at all. No player is willing to walk barefoot on the ground. Any player with some experience in the game will have spare clothes and other daily necessities in their "Qiankun Ring" or "Space Ring".
So unless this guy is extremely unlucky and is always chased by those monsters and is finally unable to wear shoes, the possibility of the player can almost be eliminated.
Similarly, NPCs in the game's humanoid service type cannot be barefoot. If excluded in this way, the only possibility is humanoid monsters or "savages" like "bull demon king".
Thinking of the "savage", I couldn't help but think of the savage I accidentally met after entering the "Ghost Valley Cave". I exchanged a whole box of gold coins for the "Ba Sword" in his hand. It was also since that time that I always carried hundreds of thousands of golden coins on my body, and it was hard to forget them. I don't know how he is now.
Perhaps, the owner of this footprint is also of this type. I also have a guess that the other party entered the "Kunlun Secret Realm" for the sake of this type. If it is an NPC, it will be much easier to deal with.
Thinking of this, I looked at "Norman" who looked at me with an expectant look and said, "What do you think I'm doing? I'm not a god! What can one footprint tell? It only means that the other party is a human. Continue to explore the surroundings and don't let monsters get close to you."
"Ah? That's all? I thought you, Boss, have any shocking arguments! You have been posing for so long!" "Norman" muttered in a low voice.
I ignored these words and stepped up the setting of the formation. Only by ensuring my own safety is a real thing.
Fortunately, the monster attack I was worried about did not appear, and even the search "Norman" and "Black Hawk" and "Xiaobai" did not find anything. That was a search range of thousands of meters!
I was very surprised when I heard the report of "Norman" and then looked at the "Black Hawks" and their nods to agree, but I still chose one direction and started the exploration journey.
Along the way, I found that the environment here has changed a lot. The original green mountains and green waters are slowly fading away, and black occupy the mainstream. Black mountains, black water (swamps), and black trees.
After I cut down a strange tree that was only the thickness of my arm but had black trunks and black branches and leaves, I found that this strange tree called "Black Wood Tree" contains a large amount of toxins. It is not a toxin that is instinctively secreted when encountering danger. Its whole body is full of this toxin. This is fully proved by the completely black right hand of "Norman" who once touched the "Black Wood Tree". As for me, hehe, my "never poison invasion" has evolved to the advanced level, and this toxin is just within the range of my body's detoxification.
After throwing "Norman" a high-level detoxification pill, I started working as a woodcutter again because I wanted to build a hut made of such "black wood trees". Hehe, such a hut is definitely an excellent place to prevent the arrival of thieves, and a good defense measure to prevent the invasion of those monsters.
What's more, even without this reason, this strange "black wood tree" is a high-value thing. If it is used to refine poison, it is definitely one of the best materials. I think these "black wood trees" will definitely be popular with those assassins, after all, the current poison market is not very developed.
When I was enjoying watching the tree with the "Five Elements Battle Axe" in my hand, the "Norman" beside me was also using the giant sword in his hand to slash the "Black Wood Tree" hard. I was for the "Black Wood Tree" itself, and as for him, it was purely for a breath. Especially the "Black Wood Tree" that he had touched became his target of venting. After being cut down by him, he was smashed into pieces again, which saved me the effort.
"Boss, you don't have to do this, right?" Seeing that I was like a rag-picking old man put the fragments of the "black wood tree" that had been dismembered by him countless times into the "Qiankun Ring". "Norman" looked weird: "Boss, you are a billionaire after all, don't have to be so stingy, right?"
"Stingy? Of course I won't!" I said seriously: "But I am definitely not the kind of person who can't pick up the gold coins when they are thrown all over the ground."
After saying that, I worked on my hands again.
"Gold coins, do you think these woods are gold coins?" "Norman" said with an exaggerated look: "These are just poisonous woods, how can they be gold coins?"
"So do you think there is a profession in the game that uses poison to kill enemies?" After asking, I no longer paid attention to "Norman".
To understand my words faster than I thought, "Norman" joined the ranks of picking up fragments of the "Black Wood Tree" with no slower movements than me. However, because he was afraid of the poison, "Norman" was doing this work with a metal glove. Looking at the rapidly turning black on the metal glove, "Norman" laughed happily, and it seemed that this guy really understood.
After picking up the fragments of the "Black Wood Tree", "Norman" also joined my tree cutting ranks, but even if he uses Dou Qi to cut trees, "Norman"'s efficiency is still pitifully low. Often, when I cut ten trees, he can only cut one tree. This situation made me shake my head again after seeing it. This guy is not ordinary, he is completely wasting Dou Qi to cut down randomly.
This time, I did not give a reminder. After all, although "Norman" regards me as the boss and I also like this little brother, the prompts once and twice are enough. The key is to read more and learn more.
The result proved that "Norman" was definitely a smart person. When he saw the huge gap between us, "Norman" learned to observe. Even if he only observed the superficiality, his tree-cutting speed had been much higher, and the efficiency of using Dou Qi was particularly improved.
Carefully put the sixteen "black wood trees" he cut down into the "space ring", "Norman" said excitedly: "Boss, guess how much does such a tree cost?"
"According to my estimate, there are more than 200 gold coins. It depends on how many toxins there are in these 'black wood trees'." I washed away the remaining toxins in my hand with clean water and replied after thinking a little.
"200 gold coins? Then, your more than 100 trees are just tens of thousands of gold coins? And I just earned 3,200 gold coins. Boss, now I finally know why you are so able to make money. You have discovered every factor in the game that can make money! If it weren't for you, who would have thought that such a poisonous tree could also produce wealth?" "Norman" looks like a flatterer.
Without waiting for my answer, "Norman" continued: "Boss, why don't we stay here for a few more days? It's not too late to wait for me to cut down hundreds of 'black wood trees' before leaving."
"If you want, stay, I don't mind losing a burden. Although these 'black wood trees' may be valuable, I'm not very sure. It's purely a gambling. Perhaps, those assassins can't extract any toxins from the tree. So the reason why I made money you said before was only half right."
"In addition to discovering the greatest value of the things I see, I am also gambling. In general, I have better luck." After saying that, I put away the kettle, wiped my hands and sat on "Xiaobai"'s back.
He gently stroked "Xiaobai"'s head, and "Xiaobai" immediately slowly took off the air, and at the same time, all the "Black Hawk" centered on me were also taken off.
After a little while, "Norman" also rode "Qu Ru" to follow.
It is still Black Mountain and Black Water, and there is no trace of monsters. Not to mention the swamp, it is not the type I like, but it is the paradise where my pet "Tu" is about to wake up. Unfortunately, it is still evolving now.
So, I turned my eyes to the bare black mountain. Looking at the Black Mountain that stretches for countless kilometers, I felt a strong strange feeling, either dangerous, or other feelings, or "weird".
"Whisperous? It's weird enough! I've never seen such a vast black mountain. In fact, I've never seen such a black mountain." "Norman" echoed after hearing the self-talk in my mouth.
The more I moved towards the black mountains, my strange feeling became stronger and stronger. I knew that as long as I understood the profound meaning of this strange feeling, I could know what was going on here, but the inspiration in my mind was like a naughty ball, always jumping away when I reached out my hand, and I could only let the slightest inspiration escape from my hands.
"Boss, it seems something is wrong!" "Norman" a few meters away said a little panickedly.
"What's wrong?" I was so upset by the strange feeling that I felt unhappy.
"Norman" looked around in all directions, and couldn't help swallowing, saying, "Boss, it seems that all directions are the same; and, our origin is gone."
"What--"
I quickly turned around and found that there were countless black mountains, and the dividing line between black and green that should have existed had disappeared. The scenery was exactly the same as what I saw in front; looking at the left and right environment, the same Montenegro, and even the height of each Montenegro is exactly the same.
"Norman, I think we're in trouble this time!" I sighed.
"What the hell is wrong, boss?" "Norman" asked quickly.
"Do you know the formation?"
"Of course I know, boss, have you set up several of them just now? Didn't you say we have entered a formation?" "Norman" was slightly surprised, but immediately relaxed and said easily: "Isn't that your strength, boss? This is better than facing some unfamiliar environments. Besides, if there is really no way, then at most it will be just going back to the 'Shrine of Light'. It's no big deal!"
After hearing the words "Norman" as if he was comforting himself, I could only smile bitterly. This is the "Kunlun Secret Realm", not other places. Such a magical formation is definitely not the simple type. What I fear most is the natural formation, the type that has the characteristics of our formation but does not have many rules to query. Now this environment is very similar to the natural formation I know.
There is no energy reaction or an illusion, which I can clearly see clearly. Since I obtained the two magical energies of "Taihua Power" and "Sun Power", the illusion can no longer pose any threat to me, just like the huge mountain and valley covering the "Kunlun Secret Realm", it is just an illusory image in my eyes. This is also the reason why I said to "Norman" before.
All these mountains are real. In other words, this formation has the power to move mountains and seas, and everything is quietly completed. In this process, I mastered the two magical energys of "Taihua Power" and "Sun Power", and even more "Five Animal Play", but I just had a strange feeling. Such power far exceeded my understanding of the formation, and it was difficult not to put it into the ranks of "natural formations".
After flying around in the air, I found no rules or flaws, so I had to get off the ground and prepare to find a breakthrough from the ground.
The ground was a very hard black rock, giving people a familiar feeling. I took out the "Blade of the Earth" and slashed a small piece. When I saw its attributes, I was completely stunned.
I have said before that there are "Top Ten Expensive Metals" in the game world (in fact, in my opinion, liquid metal from the Golden Rat is also one, then it is the Eleventh Greatest), two of which are "titanium gold" and the "wujin" I got from the "Kafu clan".
The former is lightweight, but has excellent performance in flexibility and hardness. It is the best metal for making light armor.
The latter, "Black Gold", has a slightly higher density and is only slightly worse than "titanium", but its hardness is amazing, making it the best choice for building medium-sized equipment.
These two metals, no, should be the "top ten expensive metals". Each type is rare in quantity and expensive. According to the current market price of each kilogram of "wujin" is 10,000 gold coins, and "titanium" is as high as 50,000 gold coins.
Originally speaking, I thought the "Kuafu clan" could provide it for a long time, because "Mulong" kept saying that this was a mineral unique to their "Kuafu clan". But in fact, although it was a mineral unique to their "Kuafu clan", its reserves were not abundant.
These guys didn't know about it before, because generally speaking, they didn't have a great demand for metals. But after my arrival and a large amount of mining, the "rich mine" mentioned by "Mulong" several times became a super "poor mine", occupying only a radius of more than 100 meters. In this way, I lost such a source of wealth.
Among the "Top Ten Expensive Metals", there is also a metal called "tungsten", which is the "tungsten" in reality. As we all know, the hardness of "tungsten" occupies the top three among all metals.
Not only that, its various alloys, or "tungsten carbide" after carbon added, have absolutely outstanding performance in hardness, heat and compression resistance, etc., so it is also an extremely precious rare metal in reality.
But the black stone I am grabbing in my hand now is a pure "tungsten" ore. No wonder it is so heavy, and no wonder my "Blade of the Earth" needs to cut it several times in a row to cut it down.
I have all the "tungsten" ore in front, back, left and right, and under my feet. This expensive metal, which can be sold for 8,000 gold coins in the market price of one kilogram, is now countless mountains are placed in front of us. In other words, countless billions of wealth are placed in front of us.
Anyone who sees so much wealth in front of him will be excited. Even someone who already has billions of assets can't help but be moved, let alone others. Such huge wealth will make people crazy, and maybe friends can become enemies, lovers turn against each other, and father and son are robbed.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at the "Norman" who was observing the environment and not paying attention to my situation. After all, "Norman" is a Westerner. If it weren't for his persuasion, I wouldn't have accepted him as my younger brother, nor would I take him into this "Kunlun Secret Realm" that is only known to me now, nor would I agree to build a "titanium alloy" long sword for him.
Although judging from the performance of "Norman" for a long time, he is definitely an upright young man and a good man. However, the extreme idea of "not my race, his heart will be different" can't help but appear in my mind again.
Can an alien maintain such a normal mind when facing so much wealth? I exchanged positions with "Norman" in my heart, imagined the environment, and then deduced according to the situation, and suddenly realized that my final approach was to have the idea of killing the other party and occupy this treasure land alone.
It turns out that I am also a selfish person in my heart! I sighed for my deduction. Although I knew that this deduction was not necessarily correct, and it was even possible that it would be the other way around, I still couldn't help but sigh for my true nature.
However, at least now, "Norman" and I are still friends. As long as I monopolize this secret and bring some benefits to "Norman" afterwards, my friendship with "Norman" will continue, and I will still be the "boss" mentioned by "Norman". Moreover, I can quietly make a large amount of gold coins.
After comforting myself like this, I calmed down for a moment, then quietly put away the "tungsten" ore in my hand and walked slowly towards "Norman": "How about it, have you found anything?"
"How can you find anything? There are mountains here, but mountains." "Norman" shook his head in disappointment and said, "Boss, you have any discovery? I saw you in a daze again just now. Do you feel daze every time you encounter something?"
After saying that, "Norman" grimaced at me, then ran away from me, and laughed.
Seeing "Norman" laughing, I was slightly stunned, and then I understood the meaning of "Norman". This guy was scolding me for having a short circuit in my head! But now I don't have any smiles, and I thought in my heart that maybe I might have done it right this time. Such "Norman" is the type I can accept, with vitality, liveliness, and countless problems, which are the "nagging" I mentioned.
Once I come into contact with what I have come into contact with, I am afraid that his heart will be involuntarily occupied by that "conspiracy".
Now I have a good relationship with "Norman". As long as we get along normally, "Norman" will definitely become one of our best friends. At that time, as long as "Norman" had any difficulties, I could help him solve them. This is also a small compensation for "Norman".
After thinking about it like this, I suddenly realized that I had started to make excuses for myself again without realizing it. It seems that my behavior is still very different from the moral code I have received!
"Stop making trouble, Norman." I shook my head and threw away the troubles in my mind, and said to Norman: "These mountains are real, that is, they are not illusions. So we must find out the differences between these Montenegroes, or find the rules in them, otherwise we will not be able to leave this natural formation at all."
"So, now you are riding 'Qu Ru' and flying towards this side to investigate the Black Mountain. If you finally find that we are separated, write 'Flying Pigeon' and fly back with the Feige."
"I understand, boss!" "Norman" curled his smile and said seriously.
Looking at the "Norman" riding "Qu Ru" towards the black mountain beside me, my heart was filled with an emotion called "complexity".
