Benjamin landed on a stretch of hard igneous rock—the general term for rock formed after magma solidified.
The moment he touched down, he sensed that something was off—this rock seemed to possess an unusual hardness.
Without hesitation, Benjamin tore up a huge chunk of rock with his bare hands.
He set the rock on the ground, then activated Alchemy and carefully examined it.
His spiritual power seeped into it like mercury, analyzing the rock's internal composition.
When he "saw" the materials within the rock clearly, Benjamin could not help widening his eyes.
To his astonishment, he discovered that the rock's metal content was as high as eighty percent!
Moreover, its internal composition was extraordinarily complex. It was made up of no fewer than seven or eight metals with different properties, including quite a few that could be called extraordinary materials!
What ordinary igneous rock? This was practically a naturally formed giant block of metal!
Suppressing the delight in his heart, Benjamin did not pause.
He swiftly tested several other rocks solidified beneath nearby volcanoes at random, even directly extracting some flowing magma for examination.
The results stunned him once again.
Whether it was solidified rock or scorching magma, their metal content fluctuated between sixty and ninety percent!
This had already gone beyond the scope of mineral veins!
It could be said without exaggeration that this was a plane composed of metal mineral resources!
Rather than saying that magma churned within these active volcanoes, it would be more fitting to say that molten metal did.
"Th-this much mineral wealth?!" Benjamin's voice trembled slightly. "This completely deserves to be called the Land of Steel..."
The entire plane was a massive natural smelting furnace, constantly melting metal ores from deep underground, then solidifying them into metal-rich rocks.
This was practically the paradise every
