After traveling nearly 300 kilometers, Jiang Ziliu arrived at a Level 4 base numbered 23.
This is a base located on the shore of a large lake, primarily engaged in fisheries, providing resources of various types of fish and exotic animals.
Moreover, almost every beast tamer in this area owns a beast that can go into the water.
After arriving here, Jiang Ziliu carefully collected information about aquatic beasts and finally decided that if conditions allowed, he would let the Mutated Lightning Snake awaken the ability to survive in water and engage in aquatic warfare.
The current Mutated Lightning Snake have some ability to survive in water, but they are not very strong.
If it can awaken a special skill that adapts to lakes, rivers, and seas, then the Mutated Lightning Snake will become a versatile beast that can traverse land, sea, and air.
While at this Base No. 23, Jiang Ziliu took the opportunity to process a batch of materials he had obtained from various Black Iron and even Bronze Rank alien beasts.
They were all attackers who launched attacks against it, and as a result, they sacrificed themselves, becoming its spoils.
These resources brought him nearly 3 million yuan in income.
Jiang Ziliu stayed there for less than ten days before setting off on his journey again.
He continued heading towards the Chang'an Base; that was the direction he was going, but not his destination.
Now, after taking the Soul-Cleansing Mushroom potion, his soul strength has risen to the threshold of 400 points.
His Dark Energy level has increased to 356.
Soon, he will be able to reach his fully upgraded state!
What is the probability that there are Soul Crystal that can be safely obtained within a 30-kilometer radius on both sides of the road 100 kilometers ahead of me?
After setting off, Jiang Ziliu stopped focusing on sightseeing and instead began using Probability Judgment to search for valuable treasures and resources ahead.
The answer is 0, which clearly shows that Soul Crystal are not easy to obtain.
What is the probability that there are safe-to-obtain B Grade or higher Elemental Crystal within a 30-kilometer radius on both sides of the road 100 kilometers ahead of me?
This time, the Probability Judgment gave him a huge surprise: 85.0%!
Elemental Crystal is solidified Dark Energy with special properties, a result of the natural evolution of heaven and earth.
The higher the energy level of the environment, the greater the probability of high-energy Elemental Crystal being formed.
85.0% indicates that there are indeed Elemental Crystal that can be safely obtained ahead!
Upon this discovery, Jiang Ziliu immediately conducted a new Probability Judgment, carefully determining its precise location and other information.
What is the probability that the Elemental Crystal here is a Elemental Crystal ore?
Jiang Ziliu was rather apprehensive when he asked this question, as his nature only contained a single Elemental Crystal.
The answer did not disappoint him: 100%!
This means that there is not only a Elemental Crystal ahead, but also a potentially undiscovered Elemental Crystal mine.
However, Jiang Ziliu knew that the possibility of Elemental Crystal ore existing below 10 meters on the surface was extremely small. Because Elemental Crystal was one of the most coveted treasures by alien beasts, where there was Elemental Crystal ore on the surface, there must be a large number of alien beasts of the same attribute, and powerful alien beasts at that.
Elemental Crystal below 10 meters are difficult for surface beasts to detect; only special beasts capable of traversing underground can find them.
However, most of these strange beasts are of the earth element, and Elemental Crystal of other elements are useless to them.
This gave humanity the opportunity to discover and utilize the planet's Elemental Crystal minerals.
What is the probability that the Elemental Crystal ore exists within 30 kilometers of my current path, and within a 30-kilometer radius on either side of the path?
The answer is 0!
"What is the probability that the Elemental Crystal ore exists between 30 and 70 kilometers from where I am traveling? What is the probability that it exists within a 30-kilometer radius on either side of the road?"
100%!
Through repeated Probability Judgment, Jiang Ziliu determined the exact location of this Elemental Crystal ore:
51 kilometers ahead on this main road, and 13 kilometers to the right of the road, lies a 40-meter-deep underground location!
Having found the location of a Elemental Crystal ore, Jiang Ziliu did not stop, but instead used Probability Judgment to see if there were any other treasures.
Ultimately, he determined that 6 meters underground, 36 kilometers ahead and 21 kilometers to the left of the road, there was an SS Grade metal weapon fragment. If he could obtain it, he could reforge it into his own advanced weapon.
21 kilometers ahead on the road, 300 meters to the right, 13 meters underground, lies an A Grade Lightning Sapphire!
This Lightning Sapphire contains powerful lightning energy and is a basic material for forging powerful lightning-attribute weapons.
84 kilometers ahead on the road, and 23 kilometers to the left of the road, 15 meters underground, lies the remnant of an S Grade Gold Rank light-attribute beast's Beast Core.
In one breath, he determined the locations of the four treasures.
Fortunately, his current level of Dark Energy is very high, so he is not afraid of the Dark Energy consumption from many Probability Judgment.
Jiang Ziliu immediately moved forward, first taking the Lightning Sapphire into his hand and storing it in his spatial treasure.
He then headed towards the location of the SS Grade metal weapon fragments.
This time, he encountered trouble on the road.
A pack of Curled-Tail Bone-Armored Wolf surrounded him, but this time, Jiang Ziliu didn't let his beast tamers make a move.
He used a magic weapon in one hand and a sword in the other, and charged straight at them.
With the immense power he now possesses at the Bronze Rank life form level, these Curled-Tail Bone-Armored Wolf are no match for him.
He wanted to take advantage of this situation to hone his practical skills and crisis management abilities.
To be a coward is not to become someone who is incapable of real combat or has a weak will.
Conversely, those who follow the Dao must also possess top-notch combat skills, willpower, and the ability to cope with pain and danger.
Absolute strength is good, but one must also have the ability to fully convert that strength into combat power.
Jiang Ziliu's third tamed beast, the Green-Skinned Shapeshifting Spirit, is protected by the Azurite Rock Man and the Mutated Lightning Snake. When he needs it, they can use the skill Light of Jade to directly heal him.
The old "friend" of the Curled-Tail Bone-Armored Wolf has a very long tail blade, and its attacks aim to inflict damage with a single blow.
They began a kite-like encirclement and attack around Dong Ziliu. Jiang Ziliu also dealt with it cautiously, and even though he was injured and his wounds were bleeding, he dared not relax.
This life-or-death struggle rapidly improved his combat skills and ability to respond to situations.
He was severely injured when the opponent attacked with a bone blade.
But whenever he finds an opportunity, he will kill one Curled-Tail Bone-Armored Wolf or by cutting off its tailbone.
The battle lasted for half an hour, and he killed 14 of the nearly 40 Curled-Tail Bone-Armored Wolf.
The loss of nearly a third of its members finally terrified them, and at the alpha wolf's command, they quickly withdrew and fled.
Jiang Ziliu also personally experienced the pain of battle and the continuous bleeding caused by the Curled-Tail Bone-Armored Wolf.
His skin isn't yet resilient enough to withstand attacks from Curled-Tail Bone-Armored Wolf.
The battle brought him great intangible gains!
This is more precious than obtaining a treasure.
Then the Light of Jade the Green-Skinned Shapeshifting Spirit healed him and successfully restored him to health.
The ability of the Curled-Tail Bone-Armored Wolf to cause its wounds to bleed continuously was suppressed by the Green-Skinned Shapeshifting Spirit's B-rank Light of Jade.
After his injuries healed, Jiang Ziliu continued forward.
Not long after, he encountered a stray Earth Savage Bull, a creature that becomes even more aggressive when alone.
This time, Jiang Ziliu went straight up and fought him with his fists and feet.
The Earth Savage Bull's strength was immense, but after Jiang Ziliu reached the Bronze Rank, his strength was in no way inferior to that of the Black Iron Grade Earth Savage Bull, which was known for its immense power.
The contest of strength, the clash of fists and feet against brute force, lasted for nearly half an hour.
In the end, the Earth Savage Bull used other skills, but Jiang Ziliu used Electromagnetic Barrier derived from Electromagnetic Manipulation, which nullified the opponent's skill attacks.
Finally, the Earth Savage Bull's skull was shattered by Ziliu's punch, and it collapsed completely.
Its flesh and blood became Jiang Ziliu's best source of meat for the rest of his journey.
He then continued to fight against Black Iron Grade boar-type monsters, snake-type monsters, and cat-type monsters.
Throughout this process, he continuously honed his combat skills.
However, he didn't challenge any Bronze Rank beasts; he wouldn't do anything that could easily capsize him.
The Bronze Rank monsters were dealt with by the Mutated Lightning Snake and the Azurite Rock Man working together, while the Green-Skinned Shapeshifting Spirit provided healing support.
After fighting his way to his destination, Jiang Ziliu had the Azurite Rock Man retrieve the SS Grade metal weapon fragment.
After careful confirmation, he learned that it was a natural alloy metal called Serpentine Alloy, a precious metal of SS Grade.
After obtaining the treasure, Jiang Ziliu returned to the main road.
He then went to the One Elemental Crystal Mine.
He still chose to fight his way through, personally taking on beasts below the Bronze Rank to continue honing his combat skills.
He trained his tamed beasts to fight together, even though they were Bronze Rank beasts.
Upon encountering two Silver Rank beast tamers, he immediately avoided them at a distance.
Although Jiang Ziliu possessed Silver Rank combat strength, he was unwilling to engage in a death battle with Silver Rank alien beast!
Once they reached the location, he had the Azurite Rock Man go down and investigate the Elemental Crystal Mine.
This was a miniature Elemental Crystal mine. After obtaining a sample, he realized that it was a A Grade fire-attribute Elemental Crystal.
After carefully observing the terrain, Jiang Ziliu determined that this place was originally a dormant volcano.
The presence of volcanoes, combined with the effects of Dark Energy, created this fire-attribute Elemental Crystal mine.
However, due to geological changes, the original volcano here gradually died out.
He cleared a small safe house below before letting the excellent labor force of the Azurite Rock Man begin mining.
Three days later, Jiang Ziliu emptied the entire Elemental Crystal mine.
He obtained a total of 326 A Grade fire attribute Elemental Crystal!
This is an astonishing fortune; if outsiders knew about it, it would definitely attract the covetous eyes of Silver Rank, or even Gold Rank, powerhouses.
Jiang Ziliu stored them all in his spatial orb, carefully disposed of all traces of the place, and then embarked on his path of combat and treasure hunting.
Not long after, he found the last S Grade light-attribute beast Beast Core and put it into his pocket.
After resting for a day at a hotel by the main road, Jiang Ziliu resumed his journey of exploration and treasure hunting!
