Chapter 113: The Wilderness
Following the route in his memory, he crossed several streets, and the kindergarten where the lava beast was located appeared in Zhuang Yichen's sight. It's just that the scene that appeared in his sight at this moment was very different from before.
In Zhuang Yichen's memory, a small magma pool appeared on the small playground in the kindergarten with the arrival of the lava beast. And now, the lava pool has expanded to the entire open space of the kindergarten. The lava behemoths that used to occupy this place are nowhere to be found. In their place were heavily guarded trenches and bunkers, and soldiers with loaded guns. The entire kindergarten has been designated as a military restricted area, and on the site of the center, a huge engineering equipment and a large number of workers are constantly busy by the hot pool.
The pool of magma is deep in the center of the earth, and bubbles bubble up and burst on the surface of the fiery red magma from time to time. As the fiery red bubbles burst, a strong smell of sulfur spread into the surrounding air. Magma pools are rich in a large amount of sulfur elements, and rocks are in a liquid state, the same elements are more likely to polymerize, and sulfur ores often have associated copper and iron ores.
The hot magma was directed to a large pit on the side, and as soon as it left the lava pool, the magma began to slowly cool. And the cooled rock becomes a precious ore. The entire pool of lava behemoths has been developed by the military into a huge mine, providing a steady stream of industrial raw materials for Camp Dawn. The magma pool emitted an astonishingly high temperature, but as soon as it left the range of the pool, the temperature dropped dramatically.
The entire magma pool is as if someone has pierced a large hole in the ground that reaches the center of the earth, and the huge pressure in the depths of the earth is forcibly suppressed by an unpredictable mysterious force, and the volcanic eruption that would have been a disaster has dramatically become a gentle gift from nature, transporting the magma in the center of the earth to the surface in a steady stream.
The surrounding temperature has become warm because of the presence of this magma pool, and of course such a huge amount of geothermal energy will not be wasted by the military, and a small geothermal power station has already been built.
The lava beast, which had been exterminated by the military, naturally did not expect that its home would become a precious treasure for mankind in such a way. And those powerful undead on the Eternal Continent also did not expect that humans, who were like ants in their eyes, would use the huge productivity brought about by industrial transformation to resist the invasion of those wild beasts.
This lava pool in the wilderness has been built by the military into a thriving mining site. Zhuang Yichen observed from a distance for a while, and then quietly left. Since he couldn't beat the idea of the lava beast, Zhuang Yichen had to go to other places to search and try his chance.
In the wilderness, while danger lurks, there is also wealth.
After passing through a small urban area, Zhuang Yichen saw more of all kinds of strange beasts along the way. The wilderness outside the city is almost overrun by wind wolves, sunken demons, and demonized boars. On the contrary, the biodiversity in the urban areas is richer. In addition to ghouls who ambush their prey in the shadows, there are also limestone pythons, shadow leopards, and fire and ice foxes in the streets and buildings. The reproduction ability of these monsters is not as perverted as that of the Wind Wolf Sinking Demon, and because there are fewer of them, they naturally fade out of people's sight.
Zhuang Yichen carefully released his spiritual power all the way and advanced in the dilapidated streets. Thanks to the army's clearance operation, the density of monsters in the city has also thinned out a lot. Along the way, there was no other harvest except for two ghouls who didn't open their eyes and gave away two ghoul crystals.
After searching for a long time, it was almost noon. Zhuang Yichen was just about to find a place to rest, but a wind wolf suddenly came out in front of him. When this wind wolf saw Zhuang Yichen, he directly opened his mouth and spit out, and a wind blade shot over.
This wind blade was different from the pale cyan wind blade shot by other wind wolves, it was light purple in color, and there were faint flashes of electricity on it. Zhuang Yichen immediately released the frost shield, but fortunately, although the wind blade was special, its power was only average. The frost shield easily blocked the wind blade from the outside, but the electric light attached to the wind blade made Zhuang Yichen's whole body faintly feel paralyzed.
This turned out to be a mutated wind wolf with dual attributes of wind and thunder! Zhuang Yichen instantly became excited because of this discovery. The mutated wind wolf was obviously underage, but the wind blade it released already had the power of an ordinary adult wind wolf. It is foreseeable that in the future, this wind wolf is likely to become a wolf king.
The wind wolf saw that the wind blade he spit out was easily resisted by the human in front of him, and immediately became cautious. Wolves have always been cunning and suspicious, not to mention that this is a future king. Zhuang Yichen saw that it seemed to have the idea of retreating, where would it be easy to let it go, his heart moved, and the power of the frost shield was quietly reduced by half.
The mutant wind wolf's second wind blade shot at him right after, and this time the purple lightning on the wind blade was a little more intense. Under Zhuang Yichen's deliberate weakness, the wind blade slammed into the frost shield.
"Bang!" With a crisp sound, the frost shield that had cut through its defenses shattered in a cloud of purple lightning. At the moment when the shield was shattered, the mutant wind wolf who had been waiting for an opportunity suddenly became vigilant, and his slender body was like an arrow from the string, and he pounced in front of Zhuang Yichen between lightning and flint.
Zhuang Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a frenzied dark element instantly raged a violent storm around him.
Elemental Blast!
The wind wolf's body was instantly like a kite with a broken string, and it was knocked into the air by the dark element that was instantly detonated. Zhuang Yichen's eyes were like lightning, and the two corrosive arrows that followed him slammed into its two hind legs.
The mutant wind wolf wailed, and his whole body fell to the ground miserably like a rag. Taking advantage of the mutant wind wolf's loss of action, Zhuang Yichen shot again, and three bone spurs lined up in a straight line and stabbed the heart of the mutant wind wolf.
"Poof!" With these two dull sounds of entering the flesh, the mutant wind wolf twitched lightly on the ground a few times, completely losing its movement. Zhuang Yichen carefully swept its corpse with his spiritual power, and after confirming that the mutant wind wolf had completely dissipated its vitality, he walked forward quickly.
Soon, with the undead summoning magic being cast, a slender and slender skeleton wolf appeared in front of Zhuang Yichen's eyes. The qualifications of the mutant wind wolf are excellent, the bones seem to be slender, but the bones are white and tight, and there are faint purple flashes on the skeleton. The entire bone wolf's body shape was smooth, and the soul fire in his eye sockets was like a perfect work of art.
