And another extremely important event is the mining of scarab beetles and magic energy crystal veins!

The mining of the magic energy crystal vein was a protracted matter, and Bai Ye handed it over to Han Xue to be fully responsible. At this stage, except for the need for a small amount of magic energy crystals for Zhang Tianzuo to use for research and development, the demand for magic energy crystals is not too much, so despite the shortage of manpower, Bai Ye is not in a hurry, just ask Han Xue to find the specific location of the magic energy crystal vein as soon as possible and mine a small amount.

And the excavation of the scarab beetle is something that Bai Ye must complete before leaving, so in the next few days, Bai Ye personally went into battle and led enough people to the underground space where the scarab was unearthed and began a large-scale excavation operation!

Humans can dig much faster than giant rats, not to mention the large number of giant rats, but they only rely on primitive tooth biting methods, and there is no division of labor, so the progress is extremely slow, often only one or two scarabs can be dug in a whole day, while human digging speed can be ten times this.

Ten heavy excavators were repaired in Anping City and driven underground, and under the roar of these heavy machinery, the rock wall where the scarab beetles were hidden was mined in pieces, and the workload of each day was much more than the total number of days that the giant rats had excavated, and it took only three days to dig out more than 30 scarabs!

Scarabs are not just dug up, they are actually a very powerful and ferocious otherworldly life, their crystallized bodies are extremely hard, harder than all metals known to man, and their forelimbs and mouthparts can easily bite into magic crystals, which can be seen in their sharpness. Even evolutionaries with extremely high defense, such as Ji Yunfei and Macron, are unwilling to be bitten by it, and ordinary people will be easily bitten through their bones. However, their spiritual power is very weak, and there is Feng Hua in the team, and the spiritual whip is their nemesis. And even without Feng Hua, the shadow energy of the white night could destroy their nerves, but it would take some time.

On the fourth day, the number of scarab beetles began to decrease dramatically, and in the afternoon, sparkling crystals were dug up in the rock walls.

Looking at these crystals, Bai Ye stopped the excavation operation and said to his followers solemnly, "This is the Magic Energy Crystal Vein." In the future, this place will become an important source of income for us, and we must protect it. ”

Han Xue has been a little sullen since she was named the deputy city lord of Anping City by Bai Ye. Her own explanation for this was that without White Night, the chances of becoming stronger were much less, but in fact, she herself knew that this was not the case at all. At this time, seeing Bai Ye say this, she immediately continued: "Captain, this place is so important, I'm afraid I won't be able to guard here, or change someone else, I think Mr. Donglai is much more suitable than me." ”

Bai Ye smiled: "No! It's the best fit for you. At this stage, there will be no strong external enemies to attack here, the biggest threat is still from within, and there must be a leader who can deter the survivors' bad intentions. Although you are a woman, you are calm enough and ruthless enough, so you are the most suitable candidate. Also, you don't have to hold it up for too long, it won't be long before I show you a great miracle. ”

"By then, will you come back?"

"I'll come back in an incredible way!"

"Alright, I'll help you keep this place, Captain, take care!" Han Xue nodded vigorously.

"Don't delay the mining of crystal ore veins, it can not be on a large scale, but there must be enough magic energy crystals for Master Tianzuo, he is now working with several technicians specializing in electric power to study the matter of magic crystal power generation, once successful, the magic crystal device can be continuously put into production, and then our strength will be unprecedentedly strong."

"Hmm!"

After collecting the last scarab beetle, Hakuya finally led the people out of the underground space and back to the factory that was used as a base. With his order, all the troops under his command began to make preparations for departure, and tonight was their last night in Anping City, and after recuperating their spirits, they would march towards the Anklas Crater in one go.

Early the next morning, Bai Ye explained to Han Xue in detail, and planned the next important things such as material collection, development and development, and population absorption in Anping City, and then nodded to her with hope, led the convoy, and slowly drove away from this town that left a deep memory. Before leaving, Bai Ye also left a scarab beetle for Han Xue to make a pendant to carry, which could greatly increase her mental recovery speed.

Here, there was a total delay of more than ten days, but the harvest was also the greatest. This became the first large-scale base under Bai Ye, and the guard force he left for Han Xue was enough to control one side. The people who stayed behind included Han Xue, there were a total of twelve evolutionaries, in addition to Han Xue and ten evolutionary soldiers, there was also an evolutionary Hu Dahai, Bai Ye asked him to protect Zhang Tianzuo closely, so that Master Tianzuo could not be in a little danger.

Looking at the distant back of the convoy, Han Xue disappeared a little moistness from the corner of his eyes without a trace, and then immediately solemnized, and said in a deep voice to the soldiers behind him: "From now on, I am responsible for all battles and external operations in Anping City. Now, I've got you covered, and you're listening—"

——————

Bai Ye led the convoy out of Anping City, first driving north for a morning, then turning northeast and entering a grassy woodland.

On the map drawn by White Night, this is a vast forest outskirts, the terrain is relatively flat, and there is a cobblestone road leading to the woodland, which obviously has traces of the survival of the native race of the heterogeneous plane, so everyone cheers up and stares at every unusual detail.

This forest, known as the Whispering Forest, is a primeval jungle that has not been discovered by humans. The Forest of Whispers was so vast that in the eight years of White Night's previous life, humans had not been able to get through the forest to see what was beyond it. Maybe some powerful people passed through here, but Bai Ye didn't know that Bai Ye in his previous life was only a second-order evolutionary, and he couldn't integrate into the upper echelons of the human race.

The Whispering Forest borders the Ancolas Crater, and White Night's current location is the Whispering Forest's derivative woodland, even if it is a sparsely wooded derivative woodland, its area is surprisingly large, the convoy walked in the woodland for a whole day, and by noon the next day, the forest faintly showed signs of density.

From here, enter the Whispering Forest, and travel due north for about a hundred kilometers to reach the border with the Ankolas Crater, from where you can enter the heart of the crater and find the Well of the Void.

Unlike the Screaming Jungle, the Whispering Forest is a true native forest, densely wooded, with a unique and vast ecosystem. Once within reach the true Whispering Forest, the convoy could no longer go deeper, and had to find a suitable position to settle down and walk lightly into the crater.

After reaching the outskirts of the dense forest, Bai Ye asked the convoy to stop and repair, and the reconnaissance team entered the forest in advance to find a suitable location for stationing. White Night demanded that they refrain from any unnecessary combat operations, and that if they encountered a difficult enemy, they should retreat immediately.

Not only did the reconnaissance squad enter the forest, Liang Yu also spread the wings of the goshawk and flew over the forest, he will guide the reconnaissance route of the reconnaissance squad in the air, and issue an alarm for special situations in advance, so as to ensure the safety of the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad to the greatest extent. Although the entire class is already an evolutionary, and it is still the most agile evolutionary who is easy to escape, in the face of the complex environment of the Whispering Forest, even Bai Ye does not dare to say that he is sure that he will not be harmed.

The rest of the team was quietly eating lunch, waiting for news from the reconnaissance squad, but before lunch was finished, there was a noisy footstep in the forest, and loud birdsong could be heard in several places, which was a unique way for the scout squad soldiers to communicate, intended to inform each other of their own directions, because their speed was too fast, once they launched a sprint, it was easy to get lost with their companions.

After a while, a few arrow-like figures appeared from the forest, and Liang Yu also appeared far away in mid-air, and he dived and landed in front of Bai Ye like a whirlwind.

Bai Ye frowned and said, "What did you find?" ”

Liang Yu said loudly: "Captain, I'll talk about the details later, prepare for battle, there is an enemy coming!" ”

The soldiers of the six reconnaissance squads also rushed back at a gallop, and the squad leader Lu Ming took out his sniper rifle from the car, aimed it in the direction of the forest, and said to Bai Ye: "Captain, there is an enemy chasing after you!" It is the enemy of intelligent life! ”

Bai Ye's pupils shrank, and he stared in the direction of the forest, only to see that trees were constantly falling in the forest, and it was obvious that more than one behemoth was squeezing through the trees along the way and rushing towards the convoy.

Bai Ye shouted, "Everyone, get ready for battle!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge figure knocked down the last tree and jumped out of the forest, it was indeed a humanoid creature, but it was unimaginably hideous.

The creature was huge, its upper body resembled that of a human, its upper body was naked, revealing its muscular chest and arms, but its face was very different from that of a human, its head was bare, and from the position of the human eyes to the top of the head, there were four rows of copper bell-like eyes side by side, a total of eight!

The lower half of its body is not humanoid at all, but a huge spider with eight legs, the size of a tank, full of power, and the eight spider legs are very sharp, often a slight stroke can cut a small tree.

This monster was obviously not an ordinary monster, but an intelligent being, because on one hand, it actually carried a sharpened spear, and on the other hand it held a large wooden shield, the surface of which was larger than the door of the truck in the convoy!

When Bai Ye saw this monster, he was obviously stunned, and said in surprise: "Human-faced spider? How can it be? How did they appear so early? ”
