The dazzling tail flames slowly receded, and three dark figures vanished into the Jingyang Mountain Range in the blink of an eye.
Luckily, the three landed in an open area, where they could see the continuous Jingyang Mountain range when they looked up.
At this moment, nearing noon, Huo Yuhao's glowing eyes scanned everything on Jingyang Mountain, his Spiritual Detection functioning like radar.
Centered on Huo Yuhao, the view spread outwards, and Huo Yuhao took in everything in the entire Jingyang Mountain Range.
To outsiders, the vast Jingyang Mountain Range appeared to Huo Yuhao as nothing more than a world the size of a palm.
The vast forest and the Soul Beast that inhabited it could not escape Huo Yuhao's eyes.
Even the rare metal veins hidden in the Jingyang Mountain Range were completely exposed under Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection.
Huo Yuhao took the recording-type Soul Tool handed to him by Ju Zi, and with a light press of his finger, a virtual 3D map appeared in his palm.
Upon closer inspection, the 3D model and the shape of the Jingyang Mountain Range are exactly the same, indicating that it was prepared in advance.
Based on the comparison between the two, Huo Yuhao extended his left index finger, concentrated his Soul Power on the fingertip, and accurately positioned it. With each swipe, he drew a distorted red line on the 3D map.
Upon closer inspection, these red lines mark the direction of the mineral veins in the Jingyang Mountain Range.
It took Huo Yuhao about half an hour to finally pinpoint all the thousands of mineral veins, large and small, in the Jingyang Mountain Range.
After saving the data, Huo Yuhao returned it to Ju Zi.
At this moment, Ke Ke had already set up the tent and started a fire nearby.
"Lord Shadow, this is a great help. Now that we have this, even though the Sun Moon Empire has strict controls on rare metals, we can mine large quantities of rare metals ourselves. Otherwise, the rare metals flowing from the black market alone are simply not enough for our needs."
Ju Zi winked playfully, her smile revealing two cute dimples, making her very pretty.
Ju Zi pulled Huo Yuhao to sit down by the fire. "Then let me treat you properly, Lord Shadow!"
"Wow, this is so romantic! No way, Ju Zi, you're being unfair! I want some too!" Ke Ke exclaimed immediately, looking relaxed, as if she had already gotten used to Huo Yuhao's presence.
Ju Zi rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless. She had no choice but to take out the things she had prepared earlier from her storage ring, since Ke Ke was such a glutton.
Roasted chicken, roasted bread, and chunks of green vegetables, along with a rich soup made of pepper, chili, sesame, and beef, made up a sumptuous lunch for Huo Yuhao and his two companions.
Huo Yuhao was quite satisfied with Ju Zi's cooking skills, after all, he really liked the food Ju Zi's father made, and Ju Zi had also mastered it.
To learn how to cook, Ju Zi even went to the Duke's Mansion every day to ask the chefs for advice, and learned a lot from those top chefs.
It's safe to say that Ju Zi's skill level is absolutely top-notch. Even if you only have a simple ingredient, she can definitely make something amazing out of it.
The aroma was so enticing that Ke Ke's mouth watered. The rich fragrance stimulated her taste buds, and she swallowed hard.
He couldn't wait any longer and, ignoring how hot the food was, stuffed it into his mouth.
"Ahhh~ It's so hot~"
Even if she got burned, it didn't matter. She opened her little mouth, sucked in the cold air, swallowed it, and then picked up a bowl of soup to enjoy.
After eating, Ke Ke lay on the floor, unwilling to move; her round little belly said it all.
Ju Zi quickly tidied up her things, knelt down beside Huo Yuhao, and patted her thigh.
At Ju Zi's prompting look, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to rest his head on her lap.
Then, Ju Zi began to quietly tell Huo Yuhao about what she had been doing in the Sun Moon Empire these past few days.
After resting for about half an hour, Ju Zi and Ke Ke's Soul Power was finally fully restored.
Ju Zi reached out and poked Huo Yuhao's cheek. Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and saw her cautious look, which was very endearing.
"Have you fully recovered?" Huo Yuhao asked, sitting up.
"Okay." Ju Zi nodded, then stood up and helped Ke Ke up from the ground.
After putting everything away, a bright yellow light flashed on the storage ring as he raised his hand.
The Soul Tool that needed to be tested appeared in front of the three of them.
It was a very strange object, a sphere about two meters in diameter. Inside were three seats, one in the front and two in the back. The sphere was sealed, but there were windows separated by crystals on all sides, allowing one to see outside.
Beneath the sphere are six long metal legs. Each leg is divided into three sections, with very sharp ends that can easily penetrate the soil. The second section of each leg is raised, and the third section is connected at the bottom of the sphere. It looks quite strange.
Ju Zi said, "This is All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool. It's one of the extensions I came up with based on your ideas, Yuhao, and then Xuan Ziwen completed its research."
Huo Yuhao nodded, not paying much attention to these Soul Tool.
He only knew one thing: that Ju Zi could make these things whenever he needed them.
"Lord Shadow, Ju Zi is also developing all of those things you mentioned. I'm afraid it won't be long before those amazing Soul Tool will be a reality."
Ke Ke skillfully opened the door of the All-Terrain Soul Detection Device.
A gap immediately appeared in the silver-white hull, the hatch faced upwards, and a metal ladder extended from the bottom for entry. With a step of the right foot, the person crawled inside.
Ju Zi grabbed the handrail beside the Soul Tool and said as she entered, "This is all thanks to Shadow Shadow's Soul Power; otherwise, many high-level Core Array would be completely impossible for us to complete with our own Soul Power alone. However, I can assure you that if we continue our research, I believe the final product will exceed our expectations."
Ke Ke asked curiously, "Hmm? What will the final result be?"
Ju Zi smiled and held up a finger to the sky, then put it to her lips, saying mysteriously, "This is a secret."
Huo Yuhao didn't say anything and jumped in directly.
The interior of the All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool was extremely simple, even rudimentary. There were only a few metal rods in front of the first seat, their purpose unknown. The three seats were simple metal seats, fixed within a small space inside the sphere. The seats had seat belts. They entered through one of the windows.
"Set off!"
