Chapter 9 Open pit veins

Ji Feng separated the thick branches of the big tree, and the blood whip in his hand cut and split the big trees into a small cube, only twenty centimeters in size, and then split the branches of the entire big tree into three meters long, ten centimeters in diameter wooden sticks, the building materials of these trees are used to strengthen the construction of the city in the future, the current walled city in addition to those thick trees on the courtyard wall, can also slightly resist the impact of those fierce beasts, if like the last time, let the beast man and other strong humanoid organisms enter the city again, once Ji Feng is no longer in the walled city, it is the moment when those fierce creatures wantonly slaughter kobolds。

Besides, even if it is for himself, Ji Feng also plans to build his own base, although he has already arranged a simple formation, and because this place has different leylines passing through, he can use the power of the leylines to slightly increase the protective power of the entire city by several levels, but if Ji Feng plans to use this as a base and expand outward, he still needs a lot of investment, whether it is the various materials for construction, or the various needs of arranging the formation, and even the need for a large number of biological bones and biological blood.

After splitting the branches of the tree into small rectangular pieces, Ji Feng asked the kobold to slowly move to the tall campfire in the courtyard, and then carry out a simple baking operation.

The current conditions are too simple to carbonize the damp wood for a while, so the moisture in the wood can only be baked clean by the strong flame of the fire, and then put it in the storage room, waiting for the winter to come, and then use it to keep warm.

Originally, if you use the power of blood, you can also extract the water from the wood, clean and fast, but only Ji Feng alone has this ability, and it is too labor-intensive, so he can only let the kobold bake the wood and use this stupid method to produce in large quantities.

When the day was about to dawn, all the trunks of a big tree had been completely baked, although only a rough roast was done, and after the water was baked, Ji Feng led the team to let the kobolds carry these small wooden pieces that had become cuboids to a storage room in the northeast of the courtyard.

This storage room is only ten square meters in size, but it is a passageway, and its real storage room is still underground, with a pit carved out along the door, and within the pit there is a series of stairs leading from top to bottom to the dark bottom.

It was about five meters deep, and after turning left, there was a basement covering an area of eighty square meters, and outside the doors on both sides, there were two strong warriors of kobolds with a crescent-shaped blood mark on their eyebrows, holding a short blade sharpened from bone spurs in their hands, looking around.

Entering the storeroom, there were two figures hidden in the dark darkness, and the bone short knife in his hand slashed through the darkness, but it did not appear, allowing the three kobolds who followed Ji Feng down to see.

The three kobolds kept carrying the outside of the baked wooden blocks into the small room and placing them inside.

After waiting for all the wooden blocks to be completely moved, Ji Feng closed the door of the entire storage room. The sky had completely brightened, and another hunting party had set off to the place where a large number of forest rats and forest snakes had just been discovered yesterday to carry out a hunt operation.

In this operation, Ji Feng and the hunting team set off together, but did not come with them, but followed them and followed.

The hunting party set out early in the morning, and there were originally twenty men, but now there were only fifteen, and five were guarding the walled city, guarding and guarding it.

Ji Feng followed them this time because some of the things they had collected last time contained a lot of iron.

It is not easy to find the veins of iron ore in the forest, so this time, Ji Feng plans to take a look for himself, whether the location of this vein has large reserves, if there is really a large number of reserve metal veins, not to mention that his own weapons have landed, even if these metals are of low quality, they can also arm the kobolds, otherwise watching such a group of creatures all day long, holding a wooden spear or a ground stone arrow tied to the front, walking around the yard with a martial arts, the actual killing effect is low, and Ji Feng is extremely uncomfortable。

Therefore, this time it is necessary to see if there are really metal veins in a place with a large number of snakes and rats.

The hunting team walked for a long time, but they encountered two golden chickens, jumping and churning on the vines, with sharp blades at the corners of their mouths.

The vegetation next to it gradually thinned up, but the trees began to become extremely thick, the smallest diameter is one meter, the tall trees are more than ten meters, lush, and there are small grass and vines like small forest circulation plant system under the big trees, the whole forest began to become monotonous, except for the big trees or big trees, and occasionally there are some inconspicuous trees that were struck by lightning and completely burned to death.

The temperature is also gradually rising, it was originally the weather of the Mid-Autumn Festival, although the temperature in the forest is slightly higher than the climate on the grassland because of the effect of vegetation, but every morning, the thick fog still reminds all the creatures that the weather in late autumn is coming, and winter will not be far away.

However, in this place, the temperature has begun to rise abnormally, and the moisture in the air has become dry, because of the regulating effect of the trees, it is not obvious,

Walking further, the field of vision suddenly became wider, and a tall stone stood out in the forest, which seemed very abrupt.

Ji Feng's eyesight was unusually developed, and he saw that on the stone mountain, one by one small forest rats were constantly climbing on the stones, and there was a vast stone flat land with almost no trees outside the stone mountain, and there were jagged stones scattered on the ground.

In the distance, you can also see a grass snake with the thickness of an arm circling in the forest, and then quickly swallow a forest rat in front of him, turn over and slowly climb to the top of the tree in the forest, squinting his eyes and quietly digesting the food in his belly.

When Ji Feng saw this place, he began to frown slightly, according to this, it seems that even if there are really metal veins in this stone mountain, his reserves are very small, and it is not worth making a big move, but now there are no metal weapons, and the kobolds' weapons are really unsightly.

The hunting team in front of Ji Feng had slowly lowered their bodies at this time, and the whole team was quiet, without making a sound, which showed that they had begun to be familiar with this kind of hunting.

They were first divided into groups of three, and then the beginning of three of three gradually separated around the whole stone mountain, and they carried a bag made of snake skin on their backs, which contained a kind of pollen that the various snakes in the forest hated very much, this pollen was very difficult to find, and it was a companion plant, and the environment in which it grew was a powerful beast wandering, a kind of beast dung mixed with other elements.

When this pollen is spilled, it can confuse the snake's mouth recognition system, causing them to move away quickly or freeze in place.

After a while, the kobolds were already picking up snakes in the forest that had not yet escaped in time.

Ji Feng looked at it for a while, then walked around the stone mountain and headed towards the back of the stone mountain.

Ji Feng sneaked towards the back of the stone mountain, feeling that there was a more important vein behind the mountain.

After climbing over the stone mountain, the woods began to gradually become denser, grabbed a handful of humus on the ground, checked one or two, and found that the iron ore was no longer owned in this place.

I took a step back and tested it again, and found that although there was a very scarce iron soil, the amount was still not comparable to the iron quality in the stone mountain.
