Chapter 291: Death Forest Sea
Travel through the astral plane and return to the teleportation array in the ruins.
Seeing the half-collapsed palace and smelling a pungent smell of decay, Wren not only did not feel uncomfortable, but breathed a long sigh of relief.
Bremet sneezed twice in a row and complained, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave the Tempest Temple, I still want to communicate with Solim about some new archaeological discoveries." ”
Wren replied with trepidation, "I'm afraid that if I stay any longer, Elder Solim will be tempted to chop me to death." ”
The dwarf shook his head, "Solim won't do anything to you. ”
"Who knows? He's a demigod. Wren shrugged his shoulders, no matter how good the temper of the Titan Elder was, he must have a fire in his heart when he realized that he originally wanted to hunt the Storm Giant.
In order to trade the source crystal, it is indeed unlikely that Solim will kill himself, but he will not be able to bear it by throwing two lightning bolts as punishment.
The mind of a demigod is not something that mortals can guess.
It's safer to stay away.
Wren secretly decided that even if he collected the source crystal, he would have to wait a little longer, and wait until Solim was out of breath before making a deal with him.
The two men came out of the cave, and the valley was pitch black.
Karl Peak is like a giant wall blocking most of the starry sky at night.
This is the territory of the ancient red dragon, and the two of them did not dare to stay for a long time, so they went down the mountain in the dark overnight. Once again, after more than two hours of jolting on the back of the Earth Bear, we returned to the remote valley where the Ultramarines waited.
"Boss. Cronouan greeted him from the camp.
It was late at night, and now it was his turn to be on duty.
Wren is the original body, and each symbiote can sense his location and safety, and the four ultramarines all wake up and give him and Bremet dinner in a row.
Having eaten and drunk, Wren went into his tent to rest.
But without the slightest sleep, he took out the booklet given by Solim and flipped through it.
The contents of this booklet are all related to the source crystal, and the possible production of the source crystal is listed in detail. This rare metal is an associated mineral, and there are four main types of deposits, including silver, volcanic rock, ash coal, and sulfur crystal.
Other deposits may also have associated source crystals, but the probability is much lower.
The booklet describes in great detail the form of source crystals when they are mixed with other minerals, how to distinguish mining, and how to calculate the reserves of source crystals, as well as the grade of the mine.
Finally, a set of processes for refining source crystals are provided, which are not complex and do not differ much from the commonly used industrial melting techniques, except that some processes have been modified.
Wren closed it after reading it.
This thin booklet covers a lot of content, which shows how in-depth the Giants' research on the source crystal is, and it is definitely their unique skill.
He thought about it for a moment, Yuan Jing was definitely going to collect.
However, most of the mines of the empire are in the hands of the mechanical union, and it seems that they are going to borrow from Akaland, and it is not known if there are any competitors.
As for refining the source crystal, this is his biggest advantage.
With the ability to activate metals, which is against the sky, there is no need to build any crystal refining furnace at all, and the source crystal with a purity of nearly 100% can be refined with bare hands.
Spend the night in the camp.
After breakfast at dawn, Wren looked at the dwarf and asked, "Bremet, where are you going next?" Return to Lava Keep, or go to Storm to see Elder Solim?"
"The Storm Sanctuary will wait until next time. Bremet thought for a moment, "I just came out of the lava castle, so I'm not in a hurry to go back, why don't I go hunting in the Death Forest with you." ”
Listen to his tone, as if going on an outing.
Wren smiled, "Death Grove is not a safe place, I advise you not to risk it with me." ”
"I am the greatest hunter, I have been to the Death Forest many times, and I am as familiar as my home, and you should worry about me as well as the beasts of the forest. Bremet scoffed, confidently patted the long-barreled soul gun on his back, and jumped onto the fire dragon with the Earth Bear in his arms.
"Okay. ”
Wren nodded indifferently, having a legendary hunter with a familiar environment would definitely help.
The four fiery dragons took off and flew in a northeasterly direction.
Death Forest is not far from Karl Peak, and even walking on the ground is only two days' foot. The fiery dragon flew for only half a day, crossing the northwest corner of the Saine plateau, and an endless primeval forest appeared on the horizon ahead.
Viewed from above, the terrain below drops dramatically, creating a huge basin the size of two or three imperial provinces.
The entire basin is covered with forests and seems to be filled with green seawater, hence the name Linhai.
When Wren was in the Transcendent Academy before, he often heard his classmates talk about Death Linhai.
This is the favorite soul hunting area for new transcendents, because Lin Hai is relatively close to the empire, rich in species, mainly three types of magical beasts, insects and birds, if you only operate in the periphery of Lin Hai, you will generally not encounter particularly powerful enemies, and the danger is much lower than that of the New World.
In the Empire's market, most of the demon souls come from the Death Forest Sea.
Of course, the vast majority of these demon souls are only beginner-level, a few are middle-level, and there are very few high-level.
If you go deep into the interior of the Death Forest, you are very likely to encounter the Green Dragon.
According to some experienced adventurers, there are at least twenty green dragons in the depths of the Death Forest, each of which has its own territory. Green dragons are very cunning dragons, they are more intelligent than ordinary humans, they are adept at using all kinds of intrigues against their enemies, enslaving many intelligent races as their minions, ruling their territories, or for fun.
Therefore, the caravans passing through Sokrod will basically make a detour and pass along the foot of the "Sky Mountains" in the northern part of the Death Forest Sea, so as not to be plundered by the green dragons.
The purpose of Rennes' trip is the "Ismu Valley", which is located in the southwest of the Sea of Death Forest.
The river valley is still on the outskirts of the forest, but it is also close to the interior.
As soon as you enter the forest, the temperature rises, much warmer than on the Saine plateau, and it is green as far as the eye can see, which is completely different from the scene of the world's mountains.
Wren sniffed on the dragon's back, his mouth full of fresh and raw taste.
Looking down, every inch of land is covered with vegetation, and towering trees nearly 100 meters high can be seen everywhere, and the shade of the trees is so lush that it is difficult for even sunlight to penetrate it.
Turn on the sound of all things, and countless sound waves come into your ears.
He doesn't need to see with his eyes, all kinds of birds and insects, beasts roaring and wind constitute a vibrant world, which is refreshing.
In other words, ordinary transcendents would never dare to fly in the sky so swaggering in the sea of death, and they must advance cautiously in the earthly forest.
But Wren didn't have to be so careful.
The four fiery dragons are all high-level flying dragons, acting together, they can still walk sideways on the periphery of the Death Forest Sea, and not many monsters dare to approach to find death.
Wren also spotted traces of several Soul Hunters.
When the dragon flew over their heads, it frightened them into the bushes or caves.
When the dragon was far away, they noticed someone on their backs, and they held out their middle fingers and cursed at the sky.
Wren heard it clearly, and they all laughed.
In the afternoon, the Ismu Valley arrived.
Bremet had a rudimentary map of the Dead Forest, and he studied it for a while, drawing the approximate extent of the valley, centered on a meandering river, and with the banks of the river, the whole valley was thousands of square miles.
The fiery dragon flew over the valley, but found nothing.
In the sky, only the canopy of trees could be seen, and the ground was blocked, and nothing could be found at all.
"Let's go down. ”
Wren let the fire dragon land on a river beach, and as soon as the group landed, there was a few noises, and more than a dozen huge long-snouted demon crocodiles burst out of the river, and pounced on them with their mouths open.
These magic crocodiles have two more legs than ordinary crocodiles, and six legs are extremely fast, the largest one is more than ten meters long, and its mouth is full of sharp fangs, spewing out large stenching poisonous gases. They were a family group, cooperating with each other tacitly, more than a dozen demon crocodiles outflanked from multiple directions, and three more went around the back, forming an encirclement.
The menacing enemy, but not a single one panicked.
Bremet reminded loudly, "Beware of their poisonous gases, they have a paralyzing effect. ”
"Got it, close your eyes. ”
Wren calmly took out the Arcane Torrent Staff and raised it slightly higher, and the dark sapphire on the staff's head instantly burst out with a large white light like a light bulb.
Both the Ultramarines and the Fire Dragon closed their eyes in time.
A violent light shone brightly, filling the forest within a radius of a hundred meters, and suddenly, all the long-snouted demon crocodiles were shaken to their eyes, and fell into a short-term blinding state, scurrying around like headless flies.
Four Ultramarines wielded their greatswords and began a slaughter.
