Hercules quickly disappeared from Tianxuan's sight with his troops, and he followed uneasily.

After walking for a few minutes, the purple light around him gradually dimmed, replaced by a blue-yellow light.

"How did the light change?" Tianxuan slowed down with the question in his heart.

Soon, he noticed that the ground beneath his feet was like a winter morning full of icicles and frost spots. And the yellow flowers bloom in the ice grains like rock sugar, and emit a yellow light.

"Yo - I didn't expect there to be juhua flowers here, or juhua flowers that will shine! It's so nostalgic! Tianxuan looked at Ju Hua and felt a burst of joy in his heart. So, he bent down and reached out to pluck the flowers.

"What? This is ......" When Tianxuan's hand touched the root of the juhua flower, he immediately pulled it back. Then he touched the ice particles around him, and when he found that it was not ice particles, but some kind of hard crystals connected together, he immediately raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth wide, and stood up violently.

After standing up, Tianxuan closed his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief, rubbed his fingers, and muttered in his heart: "This juhua is actually a stone, oh no, to be exact, it is some kind of ore, and the feel of amethyst is almost the same." And the ice particles around here are also ores, which is really weird! ”

In this way, Tianxuan walked while watching, and soon left the area of ice particles and jujue flowers, and what appeared in front of him was a dark red land. However, there are long glowing polygonal yellow crystals on this land, as short and long as human fingers, in small groups of three or five, and surrounded by a circle of white frost spots, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Tianxuan scanned the surroundings and found that the yellow crystals had clearly been mined. So, he walked over to a suspicious yellow crystal to check.

When he found that the yellow crystal had obvious neat incisions, he squatted down to take a closer look. After seeing the silvery-white spots on the incision, Tianxuan couldn't help but let out: "Sure enough, someone is mining these yellow ores nearby. ”

"Who's going to be mining the ore?" Tianxuan rubbed his lips with his fingers and thought, "Hercules, they?" No, they are busy fighting. Underworld Demon Butterfly? It can't be either! Then there is only ......" Thinking of this, Tianxuan showed a frightened expression.

In fact, as Tianxuan thought, only the trench ronin was collecting ore nearby, and the previous 1,000 people were just a small detachment. And now Hercules is in the process of chasing the rout, but it happens to encounter other squads that are mining ore, and now these more than 300 people are fighting fiercely against more than 2,000 trench ronin mutants!

Tianxuan followed the traces and quickly found Hercules and them, but at this time, it was too late, they were already surrounded by mutants!

“Oh，No！” Tianxuan was outside the encirclement, holding his head in his hands, shaking in pain and saying, "I hurt them!" This time it was really a failure! ”

Just when Tianxuan was desperate, he suddenly felt a breeze floating above his head, and suddenly looked up to see that it was dozens of underworld demon butterflies flying over.

Seeing the Demon Butterfly of the Underworld, Tianxuan was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Hercules and said, "If you can understand what I said, think of a way to help them break through!" ”

After Tianxuan's words, the demon butterflies of the underworld flew straight into the encirclement as if they understood his words.

"Captain Hercules, look, there's something flying up there!"

Hercules, who was in the midst of a fierce battle, hurriedly looked up after being reminded by his subordinates, and saw that it was the demon butterfly of the underworld flying over, and a smile appeared on his face: "It turns out that they are here, it seems that there is a good show!" ”

Hercules was right. After the demon butterflies of the underworld flew in, they quickly began to flap their wings desperately in all directions of the encirclement.

The trench ronin saw the demon butterflies of the underworld flapping their wings for a moment, but soon found that there was no change in the surroundings, so they were very unimpressed, and continued to storm the Hercules in the encirclement. However, within a few minutes, the arrogance of these trench ronins subsided.

It turned out that the flapping of the wings of the demon butterflies in the underworld was not a trick of fists and legs, and just a few minutes later, with the encirclement as the center, the wind began to blow violently, and the wind and sand were chaotic, so that the trench ronin could not open his eyes. Hercules, on the other hand, is the opposite, a calm world, a windless circle.

At this time, Hercules in the windless circle ordered his troops to transform the light blade of short-range combat into an electric whip for long-distance combat. In an instant, countless electric whips in the entire mid-air struck the trench ronin like the tentacles of death......

Seeing that the battle situation was unfavorable, the trench ronin decided to abandon the encirclement and began to retreat. Tianxuan, who was watching from a distance, was anxious when he saw it, and hurriedly shouted: "You can't let them go, if you summon the main force of the enemy, it will be over!" ”

Tianxuan's words are very reasonable, and Hercules wants to do the same, but after all, with such a few people, he really has more than enough strength and can only watch the trench ronin escape.

Just when everyone was helpless as they watched the fleeing trench ronin, they saw that the demon butterflies of the underworld quickly flew in front of the trench ronin, blocking their way.

"What kind of play is this?" Hercules muttered to herself.

Next, the demon butterflies of the underworld began to flap their wings desperately again, and the trench ronin pounced fiercely when they saw this. However, this time the trick is not windy. I saw that countless gray-white fluorescent particles began to float out from the wings of the demon butterflies of the underworld, and all of them fell on the trench ronin while the wind was blowing.

Then, Hercules saw the trench ronins suddenly slow down. Then, the mutants began to gasp for breath and become sluggish.

"It looks like some kind of debilitating particle, which makes the body's various qi organs fail, but it shouldn't last long!" At this time, Tianxuan appeared behind Hercules and said.

"So to speak! They're helping us! Hercules said with some confusion.

"Hmm!" Tianxuan nodded.

"Okay! Come on, little ones! Hercules scattered his forces in pursuit of the fleeing trench ronin.

After a short battle, all the fleeing trench ronins were killed. At this time, the demon butterflies of the underworld began to disperse and flew in the direction of amethyst. And Hercules walked up to Tianxuan with his head held high, and said proudly: "How is it, Tianxuan! This time, I didn't let anyone go! ”

Tianxuan shrugged, took a breath through his nose, stretched out his thumb and praised: "Sure enough, he is the strongest warrior, and his whereabouts have not been exposed now!" ”

"Of course, we can ...... now" At this point, Hercules suddenly stopped, his nerves began to tense, and after a few seconds he said to the crowd, "Guys get ready to fight!" ”

"What's the situation? And the fish that slipped through the net? Tianxuan asked suspiciously.

Hercules didn't answer, just waved his hand and motioned for Tianxuan not to speak.

Soon, Tianxuan heard a rush of footsteps approaching!

“Oh，No！” Tianxuan covered his head, and his heart collapsed to the extreme, "This is terrible!" The demon butterflies of the underworld just came again, what can I do? ”

Just when the battle was about to break out, a familiar voice remembered: "Tianxuan, I'm back!" ”

"What?" Tianxuan shrugged his eyebrows, his eyes widened, and immediately followed the prestige, and fixed his eyes - it was actually Nicos.

When Nicolas came running over with a troop of troops, Tianxuan asked, "Nicos, why are you back again?" Has Radamandis been there? ”

"Of course I did!" Nicolas opened her mouth wide and her tongue rolled and said, "No, I sent Blake with more than 20,000 men to meet you!" ”

"No, it won't! So fast? Tianxuan asked in surprise.

"That is, after going back, under the guidance of Black Katy, the alchemists transformed the water and land pioneers into urgent pioneers, so of course they came back so soon!"

"I see! What about Blake? ”

"He's scouting the terrain around him, and he'll be there soon."

At this time, everyone, including Tianxuan, finally breathed a sigh of relief. After recovering his strength, Tianxuan pulled Nicos to the glowing ore and asked, "Nicos, do you know what this is?" ”

"Oh!" Nikos recognized it at a glance and immediately told him, "This is high-purity uranium ore!" ”

"Uranium ore? Make no mistake! Tianxuan said in horror.

"What's wrong?" Nikos looked at Tianxuan suspiciously.

At this time, I saw Tianxuan rubbing his hands constantly, looking panicked.

"What the hell is going on? Tianxuan! Nikos continued.

Seeing that Nicos repeatedly approached and asked, Tianxuan hurriedly kept a distance from her, shook his head, and said melancholy: "I'm going to hang up soon!" ”

"Why? It's not good! ”

Tianxuan sighed and said sadly: "I touched the uranium ore, the radioactive elements there will soon kill me, you should stay away from me!" ”

"Hehehe!" Nicolas covered her mouth and hunched over, and couldn't help but laugh.

Tianxuan was puzzled and hurriedly asked: "I'm going to hang up, why are you laughing at?" ”

Nicos approached Tianxuan at this time, took his hand and said, "Don't worry! It's okay! ”

"Huh?" Tianxuan scratched the back of his head and couldn't understand what the situation was at all, "I don't understand, what do you mean!" ”

I saw Nicos crouch down and cut a piece of uranium ore with a photonic cutter and held it in his hand.

"Hey! You don't want to die! Tianxuan was shocked, and it was too late to stop it.

Nicos touched the long strip of polygonal uranium ore with his other hand and said, "Uranium ore has radiation, that's for sure." However, the level of radiation is not as terrible as everyone thinks. If a person carries about 1 pound of uranium ore in his pocket, the amount of radiation he receives every day is not as much as that of your Pokémon Illustrated Book. ”

"No, it won't! And how does a nuclear reactor react? ”

Nicos touched the corners of his mouth with his fingers and said with a smile: "Natural uranium mainly contains uranium-238 and uranium-235, and the half-lives of these two uraniums are 4.468 billion years and 704 million years respectively. In addition, when uranium decays, it mainly emits alpha particles, not dangerous gamma rays. ”

After listening to Nicos's explanation, Tianxuan was much calmer, he recalled the chemistry knowledge he had learned before and said: "I have some understanding of this, among the α rays, β rays and γ rays, the penetration of α rays is the weakest, and a piece of paper can block it." ”

"That's right!" Nicols paused and continued: "An intermediate product in the uranium ore purification process, called "yellow cake", contains about 80% uranium oxide. You see, uranium ore is purified, and you dare to grasp it, let alone uranium ore that has not been purified. ”

Tianxuan grabbed the back of his head embarrassedly and said, "It's a shame, it's terrible to be uneducated!" Laugh! Laugh! ”

"It's okay! You're not uneducated and it's not a day or two, get used to it! Nicolas teased.

"Huh!" Tianxuan looked at Nicolas with an embarrassed face, and couldn't speak for a while!
