"Collecting flame crystals directly from the fire crystal worm's nest must at least have the strength of a high-level apprentice, and some of the larger flame crystal worms can only be dealt with by one-star level wizards."

Fire crystals have a strange habit, and in general, they will only molt in or around their nests. Jiang Feng guessed that it might be to ensure the heat for the larvae to the greatest extent, but it was not ruled out that the larvae were directly ingested by Yan Jing as food, in short, some very interesting creatures.

Harvesting flame crystals without harming the larvae is something that only wizards can do. Although Jiang Feng considered using machinery to achieve fully automated production at the beginning, according to the solution given by the smart brain chip, some of the equipment needed can only be produced by Stardust printers.

As for letting Jiang Feng design a set of production lines by himself...... Unfortunately, his status as a captain and his expertise are completely useless in this regard.

"I can only hope that the apprentices of the Thorn Wasteland can grow up as soon as possible."

There really doesn't seem to be a better way to do that.

Although he has some potion recipes that can help apprentice-level wizards grow quickly, such as the Affliction Potion, the Call of the Revenant, and an improved version of the Rainbow Potion. However, the more troublesome thing is that the use of drugs by wizards is not unlimited, once the toxicity of the potion itself exceeds the user's own metabolic index, resulting in the inability of those toxins to be naturally excreted, it will accumulate in the form of "pollution" in the body.

Therefore, many sorcerers who take drugs end up mostly becoming eccentric and even insane, which is caused by "pollution".

Therefore, even Roland Doyle, as the instructor of the Potions Department, never advocated relying on drinking potions to quickly increase his strength, but supported the limited use of necessary potions. For example, when you are promoted to a full-fledged wizard, you can drink the water of Nordlin or the Call of the Revenant (the choice of the dark wizard) to condense the spiritual power entity in the sea of consciousness. When challenging the bottleneck of the three stars, drink Camila's call, shape the fourth spiritual power entity, and arrange the four points of light in the sea of consciousness into a square shape.

With Jiang Feng's metabolic ability, it was nothing to take the route of "drug flow", not to mention that the medical cabin lying in the Flying Shuttle was the crystallization of a third-level civilization, and for him, it was far easier to solve the "pollution" accumulated in the blood body than other wizards.

However, for the other apprentices of the Wizard Tower, it is a little unsuitable. A small amount of contamination can be diagnosed and removed by the medical chamber after the fact, but excessive contamination can cause permanent damage. This damage is often not confined to the body, but can erode to the spiritual and even spiritual level.

This goes beyond the scope of medical pod treatment.

After all, in the federal government, it is illegal to conduct unauthorized research on idealistic technology, and if this happens, the probability of investigators from the Special Projects Research Group coming to the door may be greater.

I had no choice but to do it myself.

If left unattended, the larvae will eat the excess flame crystals accumulated in the nest** along with the dead skin.

Thinking like this, Jiang Feng put on a heat-insulating suit for fireproofing and entered the xenogeneous ranch with the equipment.

Strictly speaking, the collection of Flame Crystals must have the strength of an official wizard, because only a formal wizard can withstand the high temperatures required for the normal life of the Flame Crystal Worm. However, with these protective equipment, the requirements for the gatherer's own strength are reduced, as long as they can skillfully use a few apprentice-level witchcraft models, they can successfully remove the dead skin and flame crystal worms shed by the adults without harming the larvae of the nest.

After a busy afternoon of work, he returned to Colonial Square with more than 20 valuable Yan Crystals, Jiang Feng simply settled dinner, and went to the plantation in the evening to go around.

Under the transparent glass cover, green shoots have emerged from the dark soil. Some of them are edible vegetables and grains, and some of them are used to supply the original production of E-class culture liquid.

Although the VR training room has not yet been put into use, most of these raw materials are piled up in the warehouse after they are produced, but after the more than 100 high-level knights enter the colony of the Thorn Garden, I am afraid that the current output of raw materials in the plantation may not be able to supply it.

Just as Jiang Feng was about to go through the portal to the shelter located on Crocodile Island, a figure wearing exoskeleton armor appeared at the entrance of Colonial Square.

"Ah, you're back?" Noticing Jiang Feng standing next to the portal, Yi Ran took off his helmet and tucked it under his arm, he said casually, "Are you going back to the shelter?" Wait for me. ”

"Did anything happen during my absence?"

"Everything is normal," Yi Ran took out a can of carbonated drink from the refrigerator next to him, poured it happily, and fanned himself with his other hand, and continued in a casual tone, "By the way, the zero day you brought my attention to...... It doesn't seem to have gone away. This interval was fourteen days, and the mana concentration had returned to normal after twenty-four hours. ”

"Didn't it disappear......" Jiang Feng touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

It seems that the temple left by the dwarves has not been destroyed, but only buried. The magical elements in the small secret realm will still be drained periodically, gathering towards the "core" below the temple to charge the inscription circle of the random portal.

But that's fine, anyway, for Jiang Feng, witchcraft is not the only means of attack. When facing the enemies on the Idealistic side, if he can drain the magic elements in the small secret realm, it will be a potential advantage for him.

"How long are you going to stay when you come back this time?" Ira asked.

"About two months...... However, it is possible to go back early, as there is a dance party on the anniversary of the Emerald Tower, and my mentor Roland Doyle is ready to recommend me to attend. Before that, I need to improve my strength to two stars or above, and I will probably be busy in these two months...... On the colony's side, I'm afraid you still need to keep an eye on it. Jiang Feng said.

"Prom? Can you also dance? I can't see it at all......" Yi Ran glanced at Jiang Feng in surprise.

“…… It has nothing to do with dancing, I heard that it is a hunt for another world. ”

This kind of good opportunity to collect spatial coordinates, Jiang Feng naturally will not miss it.

As long as the spatial coordinates of the planet are recorded through the smart chip, even if the dance is over, he can sneak back through the portal he secretly left behind, taking advantage of the inattention of the Emerald Tower.

"Hunting? It always feels like it sounds savage. Shoved the can into the trash, Ira said thoughtfully.

"This is true for the world that is being targeted, but for those wizards, it seems to be just a normal way to gather resources." Jiang Feng said.

There are two ways for the Spiritual Civilization to expand, one is to develop believers in civilizations like the Chaos Gods or the Father God Julian to other star fields, and the other is similar to the Wizard Civilization, which uses "psionic jumps" to move across galaxies and directly plunder civilizations in other star fields.

"Hey, I'll ask you a question."

"What's the problem?" Because Yi Ran rarely showed such a thoughtful expression, Jiang Feng couldn't help but feel a little weird, and glanced at her strangely.

"You say...... Could it be that the world over there has ever been invaded by the people of the Wizard Continent? Ira asked.

"I don't know, why do you ask?"

"Because...... The strange beasts we have there will also drop some shiny things, just like the monsters here. Yi Ran spread out her right hand, looked at the dark green crystal in her palm, and said thoughtfully, "And I seem to have heard somewhere that those strange beasts that dominate the outer regions seem to have appeared out of thin air one day......"
