As the entrance to the underground mineral veins, the energy crystals here are of limited value, far from being comparable to those in the core. Even if there are occasionally high-grade crystals, they have long been poached by Alkes and others.
Lin Fei did not stop and led the crowd towards the depths of the interior.
As they advanced, the soul-eating insects they encountered became larger and larger, ranging from the size of cockroaches, to the size of a baby's palm, to the size of an adult's palm.
Someone under Lin Fei also took out a flamethrower that simulated Taiyang's fusion, and came directly to clear the way with flames, allowing Lin Fei's path forward to be clear.
When they reached the last section of the passage, everyone turned into diligent miners, wielding mining picks or their own weapons, and worked hard to mine energy crystals and various derivative ores.
"Dangdangdang--"
For a while, the crisp sound was heard one after another, like iron being struck.
The most astonishing thing is the mining method of Lin Fei, which is to blast away solid rocks with bare hands, fists or palms, simple violence, and direct.
The key is that he grasped the power extremely skillfully. Even if the solid rocks around him were shattered, the energy crystal inside was still intact, without a single crack causing energy to leak out.
Obviously no mining pickaxe was used, but the efficiency was ridiculously high.
Lin Fei did not dig to the left or right, but pushed towards the center of the vein. In his opinion, the energy contained in the crystals here was too low, and most of them were sub-grade goods. Only about 10% were low-grade energy crystals, which were considered Lower Spirit's standard cultivation resources.
Even these low-grade energy crystals often have signs of being chewed, and are tattered, pitted, and have some transparent holes from the front and back. Or there may even be adult insects, wriggling strip-shaped larvae, and spherical eggs in a piece of crystal.
Although this process is boring and monotonous, fortunately nothing happened. Unlike last night, where life and death were hanging by a thread, being able to obtain cultivation resources so easily was a great blessing to everyone, which made them very motivated.
But as time goes by, Lower Spirit's situation becomes more and more worrying.
It's okay for martial arts monks like Gu Xiaoyu to be physically stronger, but the arcanists have gradually begun to have nosebleeds, and even have symptoms such as inflammation and fever, as if the immune system is fighting the intruder.
Arcane Race and Lower Spirit from the multi-eye family couldn't hold on any longer. Their physical strength was severely reduced and their efficiency was worrying.
"Lower Spirit all go out and wait outside." Lin Fei gave the order. All Lower Spirit present were immediately relieved and hurriedly retreated.
A Xing is engaged in scientific research in the camp, and with the newly arrived prisoners, there are only three Middle Spirit here, collecting energy crystals along with Lin Fei.
As they gradually penetrated deeper into the mine veins, the radiation they felt became more and more intense. Even the skin of the three Middle Spirit gradually began to fester and ooze pus.
And the soul-eating insects that appeared were also more powerful. They not only devoured crystals with more energy, but also mutated to a certain extent. The combat power of a single insect was comparable to Lower Spirit. Gaussian bullets hit them, making a "ding-dang" sound and ricocheting in all directions.
The sharp orange-red light bounced continuously in the passage, and the soul-eating insects rushed in fiercely, causing a lot of trouble for everyone's mining.
With the three Middle Spirit withdrawing, only Lin Fei is left holding on.
A rough estimate shows that he has mined more than 4,000 kilograms of sub-grade crystals and more than 400 kilograms of low-grade crystals. Let alone high-grade crystals, there is not even a single medium-grade crystal!
As for other special ores, Lin Fei doesn't like them even more. It's just that someone under his command may use them to build weapons and armor, and they can provide the "scientific research team" with various special elements they need. Maybe they will work wonders.
Even if there are low-grade crystals, if the quantity is large, they can still provide the energy consumption of technological creations, right?
So he didn't let it go.
Lin Fei killed a few Middle Spirit level bugs, and suddenly felt a warmth in the nasal cavity. After touching it, a nosebleed occurred.
Upper Spirit Can't stand it even on the eighth floor?
Lin Fei sighed secretly in his heart, this Arcane Race's physical body is really weak, it seems that it needs to devour the life factor that strengthens the physical body's ability as soon as possible.
He put away the corpses of several soul-eating insects, rushed out like a cheetah, and quickly rushed out of the passage.
The sun was setting in the west at this time, and there was still about an hour before dark.
"Let's go!" Lin Fei spat out one word and led the crowd back to the camp.
As early as in the morning, four first-grade officers including Aozongping and others had already gritted their teeth and led their subordinates to Blood-Colored Bug Ridge.
These Arcane Race people are like headless flies, running around in the jungle, trying to find traces of Lin Fei - quickly capture him and get him out of this dangerous place.
This is almost their unanimous sentiment.
But unfortunately, the location where they entered Blood-Colored Bug Ridge is different from that of Lin Fei. They have found it and still have no clue. Seeing that the night is getting closer and closer, Ozong and others are panicking.
"It's almost night, why don't we come back tomorrow morning?"
"Are you kidding? The prince's Divine Sense coverage is so vast. Once we leave Blood-Colored Bug Ridge, it is inevitable that he will know about it! I'm afraid if we boast about Haikou and then back down midway, what awaits us is not as simple as demotion, confiscating our homes, and being sent to the Southern Wilderness!"
"Osanniang is right, let's keep looking. Even if we spend the night here, it doesn't matter. The four of us, Upper Spirit, are traveling together. As long as we don't offend the beings at the top of the pyramid, there should be no danger."
After discussion, the four first-grade officers decided to stick to it.
Finally, after walking an extremely wide distance, they arrived at the destroyed mushroom forest. The devastated, broken and desolate scene here proved that a tragic war had occurred not long ago.
Ozongping and others were immediately overjoyed, thinking that this was most likely related to Lin Fei, and began to investigate the scene.
Fragments of the arcane spaceship the size of fingernails, dried blood, footprints of various races, marks and mucus left by eight tentacles, fragments of Black Iron's mask...
All signs indicate that Lin Fei once fought a battle with unknown forces here.
"If we continue to track him down, we should be not far away from him!" Ao Sanniang sneered, with a trace of resentment flashing in her eyes.
At the same time, Lin Fei and others have returned to the camp.
He handed all the energy crystals that were not up to grade to A Xing and asked him to use them as he pleased.
As for the distribution of low-grade crystals, those who work harder will get more, and all of them were distributed without leaving any for themselves.
Lin Fei sat down to eat dinner, and was thinking about the arrangements for tomorrow, when he saw a Arcane Race man on duty hurriedly jumped down from the big tree, and said anxiously, "Little Marquis, something serious has happened! Okumong Ping and the others are coming this way!"
