The lightning went out, and calm returned to the cave.

Shlipe fell to the ground blackened, his pupils dilated, his limbs stiff, and he was in a near-death state. This "lightning strike" completely broke through his ice armor, and after the terrible electricity raged, no part of his body was intact from the inside out, even the cells collapsed, and bursts of frozen force escaped from his body.

Xin Lin stepped forward, reached out and pressed his head, urging the singularity core.

Shlipe had no sense of resistance at all, and let Xin Si extract his memory, and after a few minutes, he turned into a cold corpse. A scorching flame spread from Xin Shi's hand, and in the midst of a simmering sound, Shlipe's body burned to ashes, no longer in this world.

"Hoo ......"

Xin Silent snorted softly, his eyes returned to a clear state, Shlipe's memory was very long, he only picked the most critical part and quickly checked it, and got what he wanted.

The first is the practice of Shlipe, which is unsurprisingly four-star, called "Nitrogen Pressure Cold Wave".

This is one of the top exercises of the Rick clan, after millions of years of improvement and improvement, the cultivation effect is only between the two of the two in the "Seven-Colored Stellar Inflammation", if the ice attribute fit is higher than 90%, it is even slightly stronger than the "Seven-Colored Stellar Inflammation", after all, the Federation's "Seven-Colored Stellar Inflammation" is too incomplete.

However, this "Nitrogen Pressure Cold Wave" was created based on the genes of the Rick people, and most of the Rick people's physique is biased towards the frozen system, with some very unique attributes, and only they can exert the full power of "Nitrogen Pressure Cold Wave".

If the "Nitrogen Pressure Cold Wave" is transformed into an exercise suitable for the cultivation of other races, the effect will drop by a few points, and after the transformation, it will only be able to hang the four-star grade, and it will be at the bottom of the four-star level.

That's it, no matter what, it's also a four-star exercise, which is already a qualitative leap compared to a three-star exercise.

Cultivating "Nitrogen Pressure Cold Wave" requires a device invented by the Rick clan, which is somewhat similar to a modified induction cabin, using liquid nitrogen to simulate a strange low-temperature environment, so that the cultivation of the exercises can be introduced, and the cultivation speed can be increased.

This liquid nitrogen induction chamber technology is a secret of the Rick Clan, even if Shlipe is a high-level war envoy of the Rick Republic, he is not qualified to contact it, and if other races want to cultivate the Nitrogen Pressure Cold Wave, they can only explore it themselves.

The most important thing is that the exercises in Shlipe's memory are incomplete, and he only has the part below the star level.

Xin Lonely was suddenly helpless, the greatest value of the four-star exercises lies in how to break through to the star powerhouse, if these important contents are missing, what is the difference between them and the three-star exercises?

"Augustus, can you complete the four-star exercises?" He sent the information about "Nitrogen Pressure Cold Wave" to Augustus in his mind, and asked expectantly.

Soon, Augustus finished receiving it and replied: "No problem, I can also provide supporting liquid nitrogen induction cabin technology." However, I am only an artificial intelligence, I can't cultivate, and my creativity is far inferior to that of a real peerless powerhouse, so I can only learn from other exercises for deduction, so the completed exercises are different from the original, and the effect of cultivation cannot be guaranteed. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as it's still a four-star exercise." Xin Lin was very pleased, he was still having a headache with the problem of the liquid nitrogen induction cabin, but he didn't expect Augustus to solve it at the same time.

As for the cultivation effect may not be as good as the original, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's not your own cultivation.

The most valuable thing in Shlipe's memory is the exercises, and the rest is some information about the Rick Republic, which is of little value to Xin Lian. The Republic of Rick is a powerful country with Sagittarius spiral arms, and it is more than 5,000 light-years away from the Federation, which is too far away, and it is difficult to intersect between the two.

Those assets that Shlipe left in the Republic of Rick, it is impossible for Xin Lin to run to receive and sell, and they are not worth much vacuum crystal.

As a high-ranking war envoy, that is, a martial saint, Shlipe's status in the Republic of Rick can only be regarded as the middle and upper class, and he has not stepped into the top ruling class, and he has little access to confidential information. Shlipe has been wandering in the galaxy for a long time, and all the benefits he has gained have been exchanged for cultivation resources and transformed into his own cultivation, and the most valuable things around him are the blue titanium fighter and war hammer.

The Blue Titanium Fighter is the top tech product in the Republic of Rick, but it has exploded, so there is no need to mention it.

The hammer that unleashed the Ice Storm was indeed a transcendent artifact, called the Icewind Warhammer. It was bought by Shlipe on a trading planet, and for this purpose he paid for the vacuum crystals that he had accumulated for decades, a total of more than three thousand.

If this inferior superlative treasure is converted into Federation Coins, it is worth about a trillion!

Xin Lin took out the Ice Wind War Hammer from the Qingkong sapling, and the first feeling he felt was that it was heavy, with a mass of more than nine hundred kilograms and nearly a ton, the hammer handle was extremely long, and it was almost the same height as his shoulders when he stood on the ground, and the hammer head was a standard cuboid, the edges were smoothed, and the blue gem in the center exuded a faint chill.

Such a heavy war hammer can only be used by a martial saint at least.

He waved it twice in his hand, and it felt very comfortable, and the tiger wind in the cave squeezed the air around him into a deformation, rolling up a cold current.

"Good weapon!"

Xin Xiao exclaimed, "It is worthy of being an extraordinary treasure, although it is only a low-grade artifact, but its power is much higher than that of an ordinary warhammer, and it has an ice storm effect, which is very suitable for group battles." ”

He remembered the situation when he fought with Shlipe, and smiled softly, Shlipe was also considered unlucky, he touched himself, he had a transcendent warhammer but did not play his due strength, and he missed in one face.

"It's a pity, this Ice Wind War Hammer needs the Frozen Force to be activated, and I haven't practiced the hammer technique, and I already have the Star Killing Sword, so I can only find an opportunity to sell it for money in the future."

Xin Lin put away the war hammer and turned his eyes around the cave, his consumption in the battle just now was not small, and this place was hidden enough, so he decided to rest on the spot.

The figure of Augustus was projected from his watch and asked, "Do you want to read the information in that prospecting beetle?" ”

"Okay." Xin Lone's spirits lifted.

A light curtain unfolds in front of you, and a large amount of data is refreshed on the screen, eventually forming a three-dimensional map.

Xin Lin looked at the map carefully, this is the area that the prospecting beetle once searched, and from the time records, it can be seen that it was created by the Flame Scale Clan more than ninety years ago, and then released into the underground world. In the first few years, it was active on the 350 floor, but nothing was found.

Later, this prospecting beetle lost contact with the base of the Flame Scale Clan, and wandered around the underground world, shuttling through some natural tunnels and star wells, and experiencing dozens of underground worlds.

Beetles can replenish energy by absorbing geothermal heat, and as long as they are not damaged, they can even last up to a thousand years. After wandering aimlessly for more than sixty years, this prospecting beetle has finally found a fire source crystal mine!

However, the place where it found the ignition crystal was beyond the map it loaded, leaving only a route to teleport in, and it is unknown which layer it is located on.

Xin Lin took out his navigator and matched it with the map that the beetle explored, but he couldn't find the location of the ignition crystal. The only thing that can be confirmed is that this fire source crystal mine is very remote, and there are many powerful flame beasts around it, which have never been excavated before, and it must be a brand new ore vein.

After finding the ore vein, the prospecting beetle continued to operate for many years, and was later attacked by a fire beast on the 457th floor, damaging part of the structure and unable to continue exploring until it was discovered by Luo Hanqi and others.

"It's a bit of a trick."

Xin Lin frowned, although he couldn't find out the exact number of layers and location, judging from the route provided by the beetle and the outside temperature, it was very likely that this fire source crystal ore was located in an extremely deep layer, even more than six hundred layers!

There is a trend in the underground world of Scale, the deeper the layer, the higher the temperature, and the more dangerous it becomes.

Generally speaking, more than five hundred layers are not something that ordinary explorers can do, and the lowest temperature in the world above five hundred layers is also more than one hundred degrees, and fire beasts of level five or six are very common.

As for the six hundred floors and above, it is even more dangerous.

Without a Martial Saint-level cultivator, entering the underground world above the six hundred layers can be described as nine deaths, and being able to come back alive is a victory. Here, the number of flame beasts is not large, but the level has increased dramatically, and most of the high-level flame beasts in the Flame Scale Clan's biological atlas are found above the six hundred layers.

No one knows how many layers there are in the underground world of the Flame Scale Star, and the Flame Scale Clan has only reached the 666th floor for tens of thousands of years and paid countless lives.

It is rumored that in the depths, there are even flame beasts that surpass the ninth level, and their strength is comparable to that of a star powerhouse, that is, a star beast!

Star Beast is a general term, not a term unique to Flame Scale Star, all rare creatures in the universe whose strength has reached the star level or above can be called Star Beast.

The existence of star beasts in the depths of the earth of Sagittarius is widely spread in the Sagittarius spiral arm, and no one has ever seen it, but no one wants to confirm it.

Xin Lonely shook his head helplessly, if the location of this fire source crystal mine was really above the six hundred layers, then he had to weigh the gains and losses, whether it was worth the risk.

"If there is no high-energy fire pool in this layer of Fire Source Crystal Ore and the 306th floor, then consider whether to try your luck." He made up his mind, so he put the beetle matter behind him first.

After resting for an hour, Xin Lin left the cave and took a maglev motorcycle to the direction of the fire source crystal mine.

It is a 107-storey area of more than 20 million square kilometers, and its biggest feature is that there are many lava lakes and countless mountain ranges, and the terrain is quite complex.

Xin Lin headed towards the Fire Source Crystal Mine, collecting the Empty Star Stone in the Fire Beast's body along the way.

Two days later, a dense mountain peak appeared ahead.

Xin Silence stopped the motorcycle, put it away in subspace, and took off to look at the mountain range covering hundreds of square kilometers. According to the coordinates given by Grax, there is a fire source crystal mine in it. This deposit belonged to Bolton, the lord of Bartolok City, and his Bolton family, and the reserves of the deposit were only in the middle and low, and it had been mined for more than twenty years, and it was gradually coming to an end.

The location of each vein is classified, and unless it is strong enough to be coveted by outsiders, a guard will be placed around the deposit to prevent it from being discovered by an explorer who has accidentally visited the area.

The strength of the Bolton family can only be regarded as third-rate in the Flame Scale Clan, and Bolton himself is an eighth-level warrior, usually sitting in Bartolock, and rarely comes out. It had two rank 7 warriors under its command, and one of them was sent to this vein to guard the family's most important estate.

Xin Silence fell back to the ground, and the Revenant Walker armor on his body immediately activated the camouflage system, and the color of the armor surface turned pale red, blending perfectly with the surrounding environment.

He quietly entered the mountains and followed a remote trail towards the location of the deposit.

At the same time, telepathy is integrated into a beam, using itself as a dot, turning around every second like a radar, scanning things within a few thousand meters in front of it.

It didn't take long for a hidden outpost to appear telepathically.

Xin Silence stopped and observed the outpost from a long distance. The outpost was built on the top of a mountain range, hidden in a large area of rocks and miscanthus, which made it a perfect camouflage, so that it would be difficult for others to find the outpost even if they were close to a hundred meters, and they could see all the movement in this direction.

At this time, there were two Flame Scale Warriors in rotation, and there were dozens of large screens in front of them, showing the situation outside, and no wind or grass could escape surveillance.

Xin Lin did not alarm the outpost, avoiding its surveillance range, and approached the vein from the opposite direction by a long distance.

Soon, he discovered another outpost.

It took half a day for Xin Lin to patiently probe and find a total of sixteen outposts, which were very cleverly chosen in their directions, and they were connected to each other without leaving any dead ends. And in addition to video surveillance, these posts have a complete set of thermal imaging scanning radars spread across several hills, as well as a very sensitive alarm system.

These sixteen outposts were only the outermost cordon, and there were at least two layers of protection inside, and the exit of the veins in the deepest center was full of fortresses, batteries, and patrols, forming a dense network of crossfire.

A massive optical stealth force field was propped up around the camp of the vein, with a range of more than five hundred meters, covering all movement.

From the outside, this is just an ordinary mountain peak, and if an unwitting explorer stumbles in, there is definitely only a dead end.

Xin Lin has a headache, this Bolton family really spares no expense in order to hide the ore vein.

Not to mention the more than 400 flamescale warriors who were at least above the third level, just a dozen powerful firepower turrets, completely operated by the intelligent fire control system, he couldn't resist it at all.

It's impossible to break in.

Even if you manage to break into the vein, it will be difficult to stay in it for a long time. Don't forget, your goal is not the fire source crystal, but the associated high-energy fire pool, and if you want to use the fire pool to strengthen your Force nature, it will take at least a few months to a year, and you can't be disturbed by the outside world.

But it was too difficult to infiltrate the ore vein, and even if Xin Lin had telepathy, it would be difficult to do it for a while.

The difference between the size and appearance of the Flame Scale Clan and the human is too great to disguise, as long as he gets close to the ore vein, he will be detected as an abnormality. The "Mind Confusion Technique" is only effective against low-level creatures, and there are too many Flame Scale Warriors in the veins to avoid mistakes.

Xin Lin thought about it, but he didn't come up with a safe way to sneak in, and he turned around the periphery of the vein a few times, which felt quite tricky.

Just when he was helpless, an armored hovercar of the Flame Scale Clan drove in from a distance.
