Returning to the Metal Vein
"???"
"???"
Cao Fengqi looked on in astonishment at this sudden turn of events.
"What the heck? These aren't trees, they're scarecrows?"
From the perspective of the Fangelanya Demon, there were more than thirty dead trees there.
If all these dead trees were actually scarecrows, then...
"A scarecrow? That can only be Bloody Scarecrow!"
"Damn, that Bloody Scarecrow reacted so quickly! If it weren't for this weird creature, that Three-Eyed Crow would be dead for sure!"
Cao Fengqi frowned slightly.
However, what followed was something even more embarrassing for him.
The Flood Dragon Sky Crossbow, having lost its target, sank heavily into the rocks of the steps.
The terrifying attack seemed to have thoroughly alarmed all the withered trees.
They sent out branches that reached out and wrapped around the Flood Dragon Crossbow Bolt.
Upon seeing Cao Fengqi quickly retrieved the Flood Dragon Crossbow Bolt.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
But the dense branches entangled the Flood Dragon Crossbow Bolt, rendering it completely immobile.
"Grass!"
Cao Fengqi's expression changed slightly as he watched this scene.
He now understood the feeling of having caught the arrow from the archer's Wraith Remains spirit.
[Script insight and analysis enabled.]
Staring at that group of eerie 'dead trees', he immediately activated it.
[The target has no obvious weaknesses. To kill it, you need to 'burn' it. The target is immune to physical damage. Fire and lightning spells or extraordinary flames with the 'fire and lightning' attribute will deal double damage to it. It is recommended to team up with extraordinary individuals who possess fire and lightning spells to farm it.]
"..."
Cao Fengqi paused again as he looked at the script's prompts.
"Immune to physical damage..."
"Flames and lightning can deal double the damage to it? Then my Transcendent Emberfire can also deal double the damage to it."
"But there are far too many Bloody Scarecrow, and their level must be at least level 8."
"Most importantly, the Three-Eyed Crow and the Bloody Scarecrow, these two evil beasts, seem to be cooperating."
This was the first time Cao Fengqi had ever seen different kinds of evil beasts living together peacefully.
The Three-Eyed Crow is clearly a magic-based character, and the Bloody Scarecrow complements it perfectly.
"Damn it, with this combination, unless you completely overwhelm them with your strength, you have no chance at all."
"We're on the far left, so shouldn't the evil spirits and beasts be weaker? But these guys are being taken down by a small team. Unless there's Fourth Sequence transcendent in the team, they're simply no match for them."
Cao Fengqi's expression changed, and he couldn't help but start cursing.
This evil beast even knows how to team up!!
Of the five Flood Dragon Crossbow Bolt, one has now been entangled by these scarecrows.
Seeing the situation ahead, he had a sudden thought and returned the fairly injured Fangelanya Demon battle pet to its Return to the Herd.
"Damn it, this is troublesome."
Cao Fengqi's expression was rather unpleasant.
If it weren't for that Bloody Scarecrow, he could have killed all the Three-Eyed Crow with the Nation-Protecting Flood Dragon Sky Crossbow.
It also allows for quick conquest of the area ahead.
But...
"Based on the information we have so far, if I were to attempt this solo, I would either need to break through to the Fourth Sequence the Artifact Refiner profession, or I need to increase the strength of my battle pet so that it can restrain the scarecrow and I can use the Nation-Protecting Flood Dragon Sky Crossbow to hunt down the Three-Eyed Crow."
He pondered this in his heart.
Clearly, to break through to the Fourth Sequence, he needs to hunt down 100 level 8 evil spirits and beasts.
The first method can basically be ruled out.
"It can only enhance the strength of your battle pet."
"The simplest way is still to use that level 9 Gu-Fusing Altar, and we still need to use metal to upgrade it."
"Faced with this dead end, we need to go and take a look at that mineral vein."
Cao Fengqi thought to himself.
He originally planned to conquer the Fate Witch Grand Church first, but he didn't expect to encounter this situation.
Without hesitation, he made up his mind and took out the level 7 wheelchair.
"If I remember correctly, we encountered that mineral vein after driving more than 700 kilometers from Cangxuan Town."
"It would take me 5 hours to get there from here at full speed, which is alright."
Cao Fengqi calculated in his mind, then sat in his level 7 wheelchair and began his frantic journey.
His increased strength emboldened him, and having traversed this path before, he maintained full speed ahead.
"..."
"It should be in this area. Let's look around."
More than five hours later, Cao Fengqi felt that he had arrived near the metal ore vein.
He didn't have a GPS location, and there were no roads in the Lost Land; going a little off course could result in an error of hundreds of kilometers.
[Scanned within a 4km radius: 33 Level 1 supplies, 19 Level 2 supplies, 3 Level 3 supplies, and 1 Level 8 supply.]
"Found it!"
After all, it was a large mine. After scanning the surrounding area for more than half an hour, a huge level 8 resource appeared in front of him.
Cao Fengqi's expression brightened, and he stared intently at it.
"Last time, I was only 2 kilometers away from that mine when I suffered that terrible attack."
"The attack from the Aberrant Claw Demon came directly from two kilometers away, so it's risky to send Nightmare Gray Feather Moth to scout from the sky."
"So..."
Cao Fengqi took out the Black-Gold Bloodthirsty Gu.
This thing is so small, and it also has the ability to Concealment soul fluctuations, making it the Perfect pathfinder.
The Spirit Communication connected to the Black-Gold Bloodthirsty Gu, and it swiftly charged forward.
Four kilometers is not a long distance for an 8th-level Black-Gold Bloodthirsty Gu.
3500 meters...3000 meters...2500 meters...2000 meters...
"We've successfully entered the 2,000-meter range."
Cao Fengqi looked on with delight.
However, when the Black-Gold Bloodthirsty Gu was about 1,000 meters away from the metal ore vein, an aura that made it tremble and feel uneasy came from ahead.
Sensing the information it transmitted, Cao Fengqi's face also showed a solemn expression.
"Let's try a different approach. I refuse to believe that such a large mineral vein has been entirely occupied by that terrifying evil beast."
"Moreover, this metal vein is located underground..."
His eyes gleamed as he began circling the metal vein.
[Scanned within a 4km radius: 24 Level 1 supplies, 14 Level 2 supplies, 3 Level 3 supplies, 1 Level 8 supply, and 1 Level 9 supply.]
After he had traveled 5 kilometers to the right, another message came through.
"Level 9 supplies, that should be level 9 metal. Sure enough, there is level 9 metal in this area."
"Furthermore, this piece of level 9 metal is located inside a level 8 material, and its area doesn't appear to be very large."
"Even if it's not very big, it still weighs at least a thousand kilograms."
Upon seeing the information about the cheat software scan, Cao Fengqi felt a surge of excitement.
