Shi Lei still habitually brought all his equipment before starting to march towards the back mountain. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info although he knows that in addition to all kinds of poisons, there are really few other living creatures, and these poisons themselves are not a threat.

But be prepared, a sharp weapon like an armor-piercing cone, even if it is not used against large animals, can be used to open spider webs, or to scare snakes.

Shi Lei didn't want to do it himself, so he touched the overwhelming cobwebs and made his body look like he had hair.

Xiao Jin and Dumao, who are usually the standard for entering the forest, also suspended their task of finding a little expert in drilling holes this time and followed Shi Lei's side.

On the contrary, the pet rabbit that Shi Lei just received must not be able to bring it into it, so let the Yu Linglong sisters take care of it first, anyway, they definitely don't mind adding such a task.

It's Dull Mao and Xiao Jin, who have a lot of pride in defeating their opponents. Hmph, what's the use of being cute, it won't help at a critical moment, that is, it's the life of a plaything.

Shi Lei felt that this would not necessarily delay the work of the two of them, and now in this forbidden land in the back mountains, if there are any animals that can survive, the pangolin as a little expert in making holes is a very promising one.

They feed on termites and ants, and their thick armor makes their defense extremely strong, but unfortunately it has also become the source of their trouble.

Because these nails are a kind of Chinese medicinal material, they were later developed to play the function of cultural toys, causing them to be hunted and killed in large quantities.

Even if it is listed as a protected animal, it does not dampen this momentum, because it is often brought to the table.

In his previous life, Shi Lei often used his holidays to work in restaurants, and he heard the boss say that he had seen a large number of pangolins in a hotel featuring wild meat, and he was afraid that he would be convicted of accidents, so he quickly found a reason to run away.

Shi Lei looked for these pangolins, not to eat them, or to take nail tablets for medicine, but because he took a fancy to their ability to make holes, and wanted to bring more back to dig tunnels for his family.

There is also a side effect, to help these precious gold-eating ants in their own house, to eliminate an important natural enemy.

After all, compared with the effect of protecting the ecological balance and preventing termites from destroying the forest, Shi Lei still attaches more importance to the role of his own gold-eating ants.

Thanks to the help of the armor-piercing cone along the way, otherwise Shi Lei would have been entangled in cobwebs when he walked in front of the ant nest, similar to Frodo who was captured by the spider spirit in the Lord of the Rings.

However, this difficult road did not stop Shi Lei's fiery heart, and with excitement, Shi Lei finally began to explore the situation of the first gold-eating ant nest.

An armor-piercing cone covered in cobwebs, with a few leaves and branches glued to it, turns it into a worthy torch. Take out the blaster beetle, turn on the lighter mode, and a blazing torch will be you.

Inserting the equally sharp back end into the ground, Shi Lei can free his hands, pull away the surrounding debris, and check the state of the ant nest.

An underground palace made entirely of steel! This is Shi Lei's first impression of this ant nest.

Shi Lei reached in and pulled the ant nest hard, and wasted the boss's strength before finally pulling down a protruding place, thanks to his terrifying strange power.

This synthesis, which is also secreted by gold-eating ants, is clearly different from the magic gold built on the side of the gold mine.

It is said that their sources are almost the same, they are all alloys refined by these hard-working small miners, after eating the surrounding minerals, using their unique digestive system.

But just by looking at the appearance, you can know that these are two different things, and the performance shown is also different.

Magic gold is a pitch-black undertone, with some luxurious dark gold.

This new type of ant alloy is a foggy gray color, with some shiny silver evenly mixed inside. Or called "star iron" will be more vivid.

This color is not very unexpected for Shi Lei, after all, the ore they can come into contact with, the most important thing is manganese, and Shi Lei's impression is that the finished manganese steel looks like this.

As for the shiny silver dots, they were probably lead or silver attached to the iron ore.

Thinking of the word silver, Shi Lei hurriedly touched it inside. What if it was like the gold mines, where all the silver was collected and put in the queen's place.

The result made Shi Lei very disappointed, after all, the silver in manganese iron ore does not exist alone, it is not like sand gold, it can be simply collected, and it also requires a very complex refining process.

And this batch of gold-eating ants obviously has no interest in doing this job, but just made this kind of thing, which looks similar to manganese steel, to strengthen their nests.

However, it is not bad to have this star iron, but the specific performance has to go back and test it to know.

Even if it only reaches the level of manganese steel in later generations, it is definitely a great gain.

After all, the number of gold-eating ant nests here is many times more, and the yield of this star iron will be several times higher than that of magic gold.

Moreover, the main task of those gold-eating ants that produce magic gold is to dig gold for Shi Lei, and the output of magic gold cannot reach their maximum power.

Basically, after reinforcing their nests, they concentrate on their lives. That is, as the size of the population expands, they will get more magic gold out and expand the volume of the nest.

Since Shi Lei was reluctant, their function of collecting gold would definitely not allow them to concentrate on producing this kind of magic gold with outstanding performance.

But these new gold-eating ants have no such concerns. Now it seems that their only useful effect is the production of this star iron, and this production will definitely double again.

Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, this kind of star iron must be used together.

If it's really a good thing, what's the use of producing a lot of product?

With some apprehension, Shi Lei got some more star iron, and planned to take it back with Uncle Blacksmith to study this thing.

Dumao and Xiaojin took advantage of Shi Lei's busy time to complete their tasks, dragging two pangolins who didn't know whether to be unlucky or lucky, and came to Shi Lei.

patted the two hard-working little guys to show encouragement, and with all the gains this time, Shi Lei couldn't wait to run towards the grass hall.

Although Shi Lei's mind was basically on Xingxing Iron, a new type of ant alloy, he still took a little time to simply transform the pangolin in this dark forest.

The pangolin's ability to make holes basically relies on its strong front paws, of course, its whole body can vibrate with the muscles, and the nail pieces that make cutting movements also play an important role, so that its whole body is like a drill, moving forward smoothly in the ground.

What Shi Lei strengthened, of course, was its strength, and the result of focusing on strengthening this item was that its strength would exceed all of what it could explode, and it would become a super strong man among pangolins, the kind that was beyond the reach of its kind.

In this way, whether it is the strength of its claws, or the power of its armor tremor cutting, it will be qualitatively improved.

Even when it faces the original natural predators, it is no longer just a defense, it becomes possible to defeat them.

Of course, for Shi Lei, the biggest function is to become a better hole-punching machine, which is enough.

Although Shi Lei was like an arrow at this meeting, he was still attracted by a good show on the way.

He can't stop it, people won't let him go. (To be continued.) )
