Chapter 0424 - Winning a lot

How good is it to rob a Monster Lord?

Grim didn't want to answer this question, because his mouth was almost crooked.

The deepest part of the spider's nest is carved out by the old spider into many separate caves, each of which is divided into categories to store extremely valuable metal ores and rare resources.

With hundreds of years of hard work by the old spider, the thickness of this family foundation also made Grim staggered!

Of course, due to the lack of a sophisticated metal ore refining system, most of the monsters stored natural metal crystals and magic gems in good condition.

In the old spider's warehouse, Grim found a large number of natural demonic iron metal blocks, which were also one of the basic materials used by wizards to create demonic iron alloys. In addition to magic iron, Grim also found Thoryin, Mithril, Kryptonite, Adamantite, and Constant Gold ores, as well as a large number of magical gems such as Shadow Stone, Opal, Emerald Rough, and Citrine......

Of course, in addition to ores and gems, the old spider also has a warehouse full of magic stones.

Compared with the magic stone and the magic crystal, although they are both magical creations, they are much lower grade. Magic stones are formed by absorbing excessive amounts of magical elements from stones in nature, so the magic power contained in them is extracted and formed into a large amount of broken residue. The magic crystal is purely a kind of crystalline body formed by the strong external force of the rich magic element, and the amount of magic power stored in the magic crystal per unit volume is much higher than that of the magic stone.

Overall, the Magic Stone has a stable structure, but the amount of mana that can be absorbed is small, and there is residue. The structure of the magic crystal is not very stable, but the total value of the mana contained in it is high, and there is no residue after crushing.

Therefore, high-level rune arrays and witch arrays all need magic crystals as a source of magic power, while magic stones can only be used in some low-end occasions. The exchange ratio between the two is roughly maintained at 10 magic stones = 1 magic crystal.

As for the monster nests in the Black Forest, they don't have the ability to refine and compress magic crystals, so most of the magic stones they use and hoard are self-excavated magic stones. Grim made a rough estimate that the number of magic stones hoarded by the old spider was about seven or eight hundred thousand, and it was seventy or eighty thousand when converted into magic crystals.

Although it can't completely offset the war attrition of the Wu Tower, it is not without a small supplement.

Besides, he is not the only search team sent by Grim, and if the other two teams have similar gains, then in addition to offsetting the losses of the war, there may be a little surplus!

However, of all the discoveries, the one that pleased Grim the most was a rare bottle of 'leyline blood'.

This is a great supplement for the earth-based bloodline wizards, and if you get it to the wizard trading market, you can exchange it for 30,000 magic crystals.

In addition to this, there are also a large number of associated resources of metal ores, such as Shadow Crystal, Citrine, Black Jade, and Elemental Earth...... Or some plant resources unique to the Black Forest, such as thousand-year-old wood hearts, giant tree roots, magic vine seeds, sunflowers......

In the midst of all these miscellaneous resources, Grim also discovered a small laboratory filled with strangely shaped specimens of arachnid creatures and a large number of unformed embryos. After a careful search, Grim also found a knowledge crystal in the laboratory's Migli, which seemed to contain the experience of Tula's biological modification experiments and some soul knowledge over the years.

Don't look at the monsters that don't have the perfect and comprehensive inheritance system like wizards, but every ambitious monster will secretly conduct some relevant research in private. However, their research is isolated and secretive from each other, and they almost never interact with each other.

Therefore, every monster that wants to study something needs to start from scratch, and there is simply no ready-made knowledge and technology to draw on.

And the result of such research is that the research of monsters is always fragmented and one-sided. Although there are many bright spots, most of them are superficial due to the backwardness of knowledge and technical means, and they cannot reveal the deep secrets of the wizarding world in depth!

Judging from the number of alienated demon spiders and arachnid creatures hidden in the entire spider cave, it can be seen that Tula the demon hunting spider is also a guy who is keen on reproduction and transforming descendants. However, the level of combat power of its transformed descendants is very low, which also indicates that Tula's talent and attainments in biomodification are very ordinary.

But Grim is not critical of these.

The knowledge crystal was placed on his forehead for less than 5 seconds, and the massive data and information in it were completely copied by him. Then, under the filtering and screening of the chip, 78% of the duplicate and erroneous content is removed, and the rest is stored in an orderly manner by the chip.

Among them, how to use spider eggs to combine with powerful creatures to give birth to arachnid creatures, Grim is not interested in it. However, there is still a lot of exploration of soul research in it, which means more to him than ever before.

To be honest, Grim has been buying up soul-related knowledge for a long time, but he still has nothing. It seems that the research in this area is carried out by those large wizarding organizations and forces, and the relevant knowledge and progress are also tightly sealed.

Ordinary wizards simply don't have any access to content, let alone conduct elaborate and effective witchcraft experiments.

So in the Grim chip library, there is almost zero knowledge content related to the soul. Although most of Tula's research is very superficial, and there are many errors and omissions, it is still of great significance for Grim's guidance!

In particular, the two or three soul-related little witchcraft stored at the end of the knowledge crystal simply made Grim love it. If it weren't for the fact that the time and place were not right, he couldn't hold back his restlessness, and immediately wanted to get first-hand information about them.

After all, for a wizard, new knowledge and new witchcraft are what he is most interested in, and it is also the biggest motivation for his continuous improvement!

There are too many riches and resources in the spider's lair, and it is impossible for Grim and Anguga to take much with them alone. So Grim left Anguga to guard here, and he took Medusa Dana back to the Witch Tower in a manticore, and then asked his disciple Am's Quasi-Witch to move back and forth with a group of apprentices and a few manticores.

Anyway, the monsters and large creatures in the nearby Black Forest are almost dying, so there is no need to worry about their safety. So after Grim handed them the coordinates of the spider's nest, he left it alone and began to hide in the witch tower and slowly study the contents of the knowledge crystal.

And Medusa Dana, as a serious injury, stayed in the Wu Tower to recuperate.

Of course, during this time, Meryl and Gargamel also led the team back one after another.

Although the process was a bit bumpy, the two also brought back a long list of resources and a lot of strange items for Grim.

Like Grim, each monster leader's lair has a lot of resources and private storage rooms. The storage space of the two teams is limited, so they can only pick and bring back those rare treasures, and the remaining more materials need to be slowly sorted out and relocated.

For those ordinary resources, of course, they were handed over to Gargamel, and they were uniformly stored in the material warehouse and used as the basic resources of the Witch Tower in the future. And those valuable rare resources, after careful screening, most of them are still handed over to Gargamel for unified scheduling. As for the particularly rare ones, they were all included in Grim's personal secret room.

In order to collect the hearts of the three demon dogs and Medusa, the nest of the two of them, Grim did not touch anything, and still left it to them to take care of themselves. Therefore, the clearance work is mainly focused on the lair of the demon hunting spider Tula, the rampaging baboon, the harpy and the snake demon.

Although the bird demon and the snake demon are also monsters who surrender to Cheng, their strength is limited, so they don't have the treatment of the two monster leaders, so they can only pinch their noses and contribute all their belongings to Grim, leaving only some resources for themselves and the resources they need.

The successive relocations lasted for more than ten days, until the last time the Wizard of the Silver Alliance came in a hurry with the construction team, and the sick woods, no, the rocks were still lively and noisy, and it was doubtful that they had gone to the wrong place.

The once diseased forest has completely disappeared, replaced by a pile of rubble within a radius of 5 miles. The dark earth was mixed with broken rocks and fragments of branches left behind by the collapse of ancient trees...... These are the last traces left by the diseased forests of the past.

However, at this moment, in the center of the rubble, a huge hole has been dug out, and a new underground passage has been opened. In addition to those manticores who act as transporters, there are also many low-level monsters that are common in the Black Forest.

Like the hardest of coolies, they constantly unload boxes of heavy objects from the laden manticore, and then carry them into the ground with great difficulty.

Faced with the sudden arrival of the 'stranger', hordes of harpies flew into the sky, carrying crude spears and spears in their hands, blocking them from the perimeter. And above the ground, seven or eight snake demons with human adult men and snake-like tails also swayed their bodies, holding the long and narrow battle of Xue Liang in their hands, and surrounded them.

The silver-robed wizards came this time, using a floating disc unique to the Silver Alliance. Although its flight altitude is not as high as that of a floating boat, it is very flexible to operate, and it is more suitable for short-distance flights within 100 miles.

"Could it be that the wizard tower has not resisted the attack of the monsters, and has become a paradise for monsters?" said a silver-robed wizard.

"No, I'm afraid it's the opposite!" replied Wizard Eugene, who was in charge of protecting the two Upanishads: "Look at the ...... of the cave."

The silver-robed wizard looked at it carefully, and sure enough, he found one or two wizard apprentices at the edge of the cave. They weren't captives or slaves of the monsters, but rather overseers of the construction site, commanding them with arrogance.

Seeing the silver robes on Eugene and the others, Kodar Quasi-Witch hurriedly called the bird demons and snake demons back, and then greeted them himself.

"I wonder if you're a noble wizard from the Rudfini Firm?"

"Yes, we do come from the Rudfini Firm. ”

"That's great, my teacher is waiting for you in the Witch Tower. Please follow me!"

Several silver wizards looked at each other suspiciously, and silently followed behind Kodar as they burrowed into the underground passage filled with the aura of sulfur and fire.
