The good start was just an accident, ten days and a half months of no income is the norm, for three consecutive months, Chen Zhiyuan except for the business of the man in white at the beginning, Chen Zhiyuan has not taken any extra work in these three months.

Of course, because he is idle enough, Chen Zhiyuan does not plan to go to Yulingmen to pick up work for the time being, after all, Nanshanmen is not familiar with it yet, if it is so warped, not to mention himself, Ouyang Yushui, the recommender's face, is not good-looking, and his benefits may be much less in the future.

However, in his free time, Chen Zhiyuan still took over a lot of tasks posted by Nanshan Gate on the bulletin board of the Refining Hall, most of them were some dark iron equipment, and occasionally some relatively large amounts of ordinary equipment, but they were quickly snatched up by the apprentices, and Chen Zhiyuan was embarrassed to pull down his face and grab these with them.

Life has gradually entered normal, and nothing major has happened, everything seems to have returned to its normal rhythm, except for the transformation of Nanshan City, which seems to have happened.

Because he did have a lot of free time, Chen Zhiyuan and a group of refiners would often get together to discuss various refining experiences, and naturally they also gained some useful knowledge.

Under Ouyang Yushui's guidance, Chen Zhiyuan has recently been working on developing new uses for his true fire, after all, it is indeed not common for two opposing attributes of flames to coexist.

There are not many materials that can exist with two attributes at the same time, and there are even fewer low-level ones, Chen Zhiyuan can't find these relatively rare materials for the time being, but everyone collects firewood and the flame is high, and everyone still finds a substitute after discussion.

A refiner who loves food told him that there is a relatively rare first-order spirit beast next to some hot springs or magma lakes deep underground, to be precise, it is a beast that is about to become a first-order spirit beast, the tusked lizard, its eggs are similar to Chen Zhiyuan's true fire, but the attributes are just the opposite.

The eggshell of the tusked lizard is very cold, even if it is placed near the magma, it will not change, but when the eggshell is peeled open, the egg liquid inside is as hot as hot oil, and ordinary people can easily be burned if they think that the eggshell is cold and the egg liquid is opened so rashly.

Of course, it is just a guess that the eggs of the tusked lizard can fit Chen Zhiyuan's true fire, and it remains to be verified whether it can be done.

However, Chen Zhiyuan was quite satisfied to get such a piece of news, after all, he didn't expect to find such low-level materials to practice.

Hot springs are hard to find, after all, in the map that Nanshan Gate has made public to monks, there are many springs in the river crossing area, but there are no hot springs. But magma Chen Zhiyuan is no stranger, there are caves in the Yuling Gate, and there are several potholes in Nanfeng Mountain that can be found if you go deep into them, and the refiner also found the eggs of the tusked lizard.

In the past, it was Mo He who asked Chen Zhiyuan to go to various places in Nanfeng Mountain to find trouble with beasts, but today Feng Shui took turns, and it was finally Chen Zhiyuan's turn to find Mo He.

"Senior brother, are you sure that the egg of that tusked lizard can withstand the power of true fire? You must know that few people will go to find this kind of thing to experiment, and the tusked lizard is not a spirit beast after all, can its egg still be used as a refining material?"

He is a refiner himself, although he is not as authentic as Chen Zhiyuan, after all, he only creates some small parts of puppets, and he also uses the rune flames in the refining furnace, but he still has some understanding of refining-related knowledge.

"Try it, it's better than nothing. ”

Although Chen Zhiyuan didn't believe that the tusked lizard's eggs could be useful, he didn't have a choice now.

The two of them came to the familiar mine again, and when they walked to the end of the mine, there was still a hot breath blowing in their faces, but it was much better than the last time they came, and there was less harassment from the fire spirit along the way.

This mine has been abandoned by the Imperial Spirit Gate, after all, such a large landslide has trapped the spirit stone mine that originally produced a small amount, and the fire spirit and fire spirit have also been dealt with almost in the month of the accident, and now this place has no value for the Royal Spirit Gate.

There are very few fire spirits below, and if they are not alarmed when passing by, these fire spirits are generally lying on the ground as quietly as ordinary stones, and their original active appearance has changed a lot.

Chen Zhiyuan and the others didn't come to find trouble with the fire spirit this time, so naturally they wouldn't make any extraneous branches, and when they found a safe place, Mo He released the wooden bird to look for targets along the banks of the magma river, while Chen Zhiyuan took out his weapon and gave him a protector by Mo He's side.

Soon, Mo He's wooden bird found its target, but the location of this target was not so friendly to them, and it was still to be verified whether it was a tusked lizard.

"Seven hundred meters away from the other side of the river, there is a nest that I don't know what it is, and there are three eggs in it, do you want to go and see it?"

Mo He, who was sitting on the spiny back thorn turtle, opened his eyes and said, whether to go or not depends on Chen Zhiyuan's opinion, after all, this time it is mainly Chen Zhiyuan.

"If we haven't found anywhere else, let's go and have a look. ”

Hearing this, Mo He nodded, got down from the spiny back thorn turtle, and the two of them moved towards the place Mo He found.

There were not many obstacles on the way, except that the road was a little difficult to walk, and soon the two of them reached the opposite shore of their destination.

The surface of the magma river is not too wide, but it is still about ten zhang, and I didn't see any place to use my strength to go to the other side along the road, and the wooden bird is still hovering on the top of the stone cave, but now the two of them are in trouble on the bank.

The river was calm, with dark red lava flowing slowly, with a bubble popping up from time to time, but it would be whimsical to think it was safe to step on the half-solidified magma to walk across the river.

Chen Zhiyuan hesitated, but decided to try it first.

Carefully wrapping his feet with real fire, Chen Zhiyuan carefully stepped on the semi-solidified magma, and as the center of gravity of his body continued to move forward, the thin petrified part above the semi-solidified magma slowly made an overwhelmed sound, and then cracked with a "snap", and the soles of Chen Zhiyuan's feet directly touched the magma.

He has a certain amount of fire resistance, and is also wrapped in a layer of real fire, coupled with the obstruction of shoes, Chen Zhiyuan still feels as if the soles of his feet are burned, and quickly retracts back.

Obviously, when refining the weapon, both hands can already directly handle the red-hot molten iron at will, why can't they touch these magma now that they have so much protection on their feet?

Just when Chen Zhiyuan was deep in thought, Mo He next to him suddenly mentioned:

"Do you want the eggs, or do you want the tusks, and if you only have the eggs, why don't we use the puppets to bring them?"

“？？？？”

Listening to Mo He's words, Chen Zhiyuan suddenly had doubts about his IQ, yes, I just need its eggs, as long as there is a way to bring the eggs, why should I go over?

Now that the solution to the problem has been found, the rest of the matter will be solved.

Taking advantage of the fact that the owner of the nest is not there now, Chen Zhiyuan and Mo He released all the wooden birds in their hands, in order to prevent the carrying capacity of the wooden birds from being insufficient, Mo He also prepared a bag of wooden birds to bring over to load eggs.

Only one egg can be loaded at a time, because this egg is the size of a fist, and the main function of the wooden bird is reconnaissance, and the gravity is already very low, so the four wooden birds have to work together to transport an egg.

The first two eggs were transported relatively smoothly, but when it came time to transport the third egg, something went wrong because the owner of the nest returned.

The magma on the shore that had solidified a layer slowly broke open, and Chen Zhiyuan thought it was just a relatively large bubble coming out at first, but soon discovered that something was wrong.

Originally, everyone thought it was just a solidified fold on the magma river, but they didn't expect it to be a huge lizard hiding under the magma river, and now this lizard has appeared.

With a hideous head, many spikes on the head, and two long fangs piercing out of the socket of the upper jaw, Chen Zhiyuan roughly gestured, and it had to be as long as his forearm.

The fanged lizard's apricot-yellow eyes stared coldly at the four woodbirds that were fiddling with its eggs in the nest, opened its mouth and roared angrily, and the speed of its ascent increased a few more times.

It has a dark red body, a long tail, three rows of barbs on its back, and claws like daggers.

The tusked lizard launched a charge as soon as it came ashore, and Chen Zhiyuan and the two saw that the situation was not good, and the wooden bird they controlled also gave up the last egg, and directly raised the distance and flew away.

"The bird flies upstream, let's go back along the way!"

In an instant, Mo He made a decision to let the puppet bird attract the attention of the tusked lizard and buy his own people time to run.

As he spoke, the scattered puppet birds had already changed direction in the air and flew towards the upper reaches of the magma river, and Chen Zhiyuan and the two of them also took advantage of this time to run in the direction they came in.

Although the running of the two on the shore attracted the attention of the tusked lizard, before the four birds stealing the eggs were out of sight, the tusked lizard still chose to pursue the four puppet birds first.

The two of them ran back to the mine with ease, and then began to control the puppet birds to fly back, and because the distance was not enough, the tusked lizard wanted to catch these egg thieves, but he couldn't fly, so he could only follow the puppet birds in impotent rage.

"Senior brother, do you have any thoughts on this lizard?"

"What do you think? Are you sure? This is its home turf, and if it tries to run, we won't be able to rot. ”

"Can you try, forget how we killed your thorny turtle in the first place?"

"No, you scared me to death that time. ”

He said he refused, but Mo He's actions had proved that he agreed to Chen Zhiyuan's proposal.

The various puppets in the storage bag were sprinkled out like pouring beans, and in a year's time, because the physical condition gradually improved, and with Chen Zhiyuan's occasional cooperation, the grade of the puppets in Mo He's hands has also improved to a level, although there are still only two puppets at the spirit beast level, but the rest have been replaced with puppets close to spirit beasts.

Different puppets have begun to tacitly do different jobs, and Mo He has also found a good position to hide, Chen Zhiyuan knows that the rest is up to himself.

Two tusked lizard's eggs were taken out and placed at the entrance of the mine, and indeed as the refiner had said, the eggshells were as cold to the touch as a stone soaked in cold water at night, and they were incompatible with the environment here.

Chen Zhiyuan closed his eyes and controlled his puppet bird to circle around the head of the tusked lizard a few times, taking the initiative to find trouble with the tusked lizard, while Mo He's three wooden birds remained unchanged and continued to fly towards the mine.

As time passed quietly, the "boom" sound of the tusked lizard stepping on the ground was getting closer and closer, and Chen Zhiyuan also took out the newly made dark iron from the storage bag, and the moment he stood on the ground, the ground was also shaken, and some gravel was also shaken.

"You have a new toy, don't break it, or I won't be able to make a puppet." ”

"Hey, I'll try the feel, and it will definitely be harvested by black needles when the time comes. ”
