In general, there are several kinds of materials: foodstuffs, ores, herbs, leather, and spars. Of course, there are some special alchemy and alchemy materials that do not belong to several common types.

Among the various common materials, the price of spar is often the highest, because the formation process of spar is not easy, so it is easier to carry super energy. Crystal can be divided into mineral crystal and beast crystal, mineral crystal refers to the naturally generated energy crystal, including the major attribute crystals, the types are ever-changing, and the beast crystal refers to the liliang crystals produced by living organisms, including the dragon crystal of the dragon clan, the demon core of the demon clan, etc.

The mysterious merchant sold Zhang Mu a piece of [Level 4 Geocentric Flame Crystal] which is a typical mineral crystal, a rare crystal that cannot be produced in large quantities, and only sells for 30,000 gold coins, which is indeed not expensive. In the outside world, the value must be higher.

In terms of energy alone, the level 4 flame crystal is ten thousand times stronger than the level 1 ore, and the ordinary level 1 magic ore is worth about twenty or thirty gold coins. While energy isn't the only measure of a material's value, it's far more cost-effective to take the Terrain Eye and absorb it for the hive than to mine a bunch of low-grade ore.

Zhang Mu didn't waste time, he first sold the collected alien equipment, plus a dozen repaired and inactive machines, in exchange for a total of 60,000 gold coins. The number of alien equipment provided this time is not much, because the Terrans defeated the terror at the station, the time was in a hurry, there was no time to clean up, and the storage capsule did not bring enough.

Then check out the Mystery Shop.

Probably because the level of the mysterious merchant has increased, the quality of the goods is much better than before, and the ratio of D-level skill books and D-level magic items is almost 2-3 times that of before, and there are more types of options available.

Zhang Mu took a fancy to a ranger skill book, an advanced scroll and a special scroll.

[DD Skill Book: Remnant Sword], a ranger's exclusive skill, learning conditions: 160 points of agility, 100 points of spirit.

[D-rank Skill Advancement Scroll: Wind Escape] to upgrade the E-rank skill [Instantaneous Step] to the D-rank skill [Wind Escape].

[Level 3 Backpack Scroll], upgrade Level 2 Backpack to gain 30 slot backpack space.

These three items are very expensive, the advanced scroll is relatively cheap, only 2000 gold, the DD level skill book is up to 6500 gold, and the level 3 backpack scroll is 15000 gold.

Zhang Mu didn't hesitate at all, and immediately bought it, the backpack scroll can increase the backpack space, the larger the backpack space, the more items you carry, which is very beneficial to survival and combat. As for the skill book [Remnant Sword], it is a very good Ranger skill! The skill [Wind Escape] is a thief skill, the thief can learn directly from the exclusive skill book, and the ranger can also have this skill, but it cannot be learned through the skill book, and can only be obtained step by step from the low-level skill.

Zhang Mu first expanded his backpack, then learned and mastered two skills, and spent more than 10,000 gold coins to buy scrolls, so that the skills could be upgraded to the full level.

[Remnant Sword LV5], DD level skill, the highest level LV5, obtain the blessing of the afterimage state, attack +40%, speed +40%, with afterimage effect, consume 5 magic points per second.

[Wind Escape LV5], a D-level skill, condenses the liliang of the wind, gets rid of negative states or constraints, and causes a teleportation effect, with a maximum distance of 500 meters. Consumes 100 mana and has a cooldown of 300 seconds

The two skills are very powerful, among which the [Remnant Sword] can greatly increase the damage, and can greatly increase the attack speed and movement speed. Zhang Mu was already dissatisfied with his speed, and if he blessed the afterimage effect, he would definitely be able to reach a terrifying level.

Another skill, [Wind Escape], is an excellent escape skill, even if you are trapped by a binding skill, or paralyzed, the negative state of the deceleration can be lifted in an instant, and it also has a teleportation effect.

Both skills are very strong, but they have one flaw in common.

That's that the magic cost is too much.

The Afterimage Sword has no cooldown, it can be opened anytime and anywhere, and it requires 5 points of magic consumption per second, which doesn't seem to be much at first glance, but in fact, it consumes 300 points of magic in 1 minute, Zhang Mu is just running out of magic, which can only last for more than a minute.

Wind Escape can cost 100 mana at a time, and although the effect is very strong, it cannot be used frequently.

Lack of magic is a hard wound!

Zhang Mu is a ranger, life, liliang, physique, agility, and even spirit, all of which have reached a level that is not weak, only the magic has not been improved very well, but there are flame pork balls made by the chef, which temporarily makes up for the lack of magic, which is more than enough.

The mastery of these two new skills has made the strength increase in a straight line, and now it is the top master of the Ternophob, and the victory is much more certain.

Zhang Mu found several precious and rare D-rank magic scrolls.

[D-Class Magic Scroll, Phantom Mist], D-Class Scroll, activated will release the D-Class Illusion Skill "Illusion Technique!" ”

[D+ Grade Magic Scroll: Frost Hand], a D+ Grade Scroll, after activation, will activate an ice skill "Frost Hand!" ”

[D+-level magic scroll: The Art of Waterfalls], a D+-level scroll, after activation, will activate a water-based skill "Waterfall Technique!" ”

D-rank magic scrolls, only lord-level monsters, have a certain probability of dropping. Lord monsters aren't that easy to find, so D-rank scrolls are extremely valuable in the camp, and only some large groups have very small reserves. Zhang Mu bought three at a time, and he would definitely be able to use them during the battle.

In addition, there was no other thing that was particularly useful to Zhang Mu.

Lin Caiyan bought a D-level skill book [Priest's Blessing], which can increase the upper limit of the health limit of friendly targets by 20%, and if it is used on Lei Ming, it is an easy thing to increase his life by more than 1,000 points.

Leng Yun buys a skill book [Thunder Mastery], which is a passive skill, as long as you learn it, you will permanently increase the power of lightning magic by 20%. Du Rongrong buys a D-level summoner skill book [Poison Vine], which is a spell that summons poison vines within the range.

Poisonous vines can instantly entangle the target, immobilizing them, and have a strong toxin, further disintegrating biological resistance.

Lei Ming, Fat Man, Mourning Dog, Yang Yi, and Scorpion, each add some skills or equipment.

Zhang Mu even bought one or two good knights and gunfight skill books, because there were no particularly strong knights and gunfights in Huangquan, Zhang Mu planned to resell them to Huang Tian and Ye Qianqiu, so that the human race could exert stronger combat ability in the war.

This time, I spent more than 100,000 gold coins on shopping in the mystery shop, selling robots and alien equipment, offsetting more than half of them, and buying the gold coins from Yanjinghua, because it is used to cultivate worm nests, and worm nests are considered to be a common tool of the mercenary union, so the money can be withdrawn from the union for reimbursement.

Therefore, although there are many things to buy, the actual cost of Huangquan is only thirty or forty thousand gold coins.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Mu returned to the Bloodlight Plain.

Zhang Mu took the Yan Jing and went directly to the cave to let the insect nest absorb it.

The energy of the geocentric flame crystal was too strong, and as soon as the insect nest swallowed the spar into its body, its whole body squirmed violently, and its originally red body became even more bright red, steaming hot, as if it was about to be steamed.

The fat man and the mourning dog were guarding the door, and when he saw the scene in front of him, the fat man couldn't help but shout: "Can this guy digest it, should it be roasted into mature meat!" ”

Zhang Mu was also a little worried, the ore crystal could only be used for production, and ordinary creatures could not withstand it, and the geocentric flame crystal was a rather violent one of the mineral crystals. But. The hive is not an ordinary life form, and it still has a certain amount of intelligence, so it should not be supported to death.

The body of the insect hive, which was steamed red, constantly spewed hot air, like blowing up a balloon, and suddenly swelled by nearly 30%, and its size was already comparable to a small mountain.

The hive frantically absorbs energy, and the magic grows faster than ever before.

In the end, it was fixed at 850,000.

The mana of the hive is directly proportional to the number of Zerg, and the current number of Zerg that can be bred by the Hive is 850 units, which is equivalent to 850 ordinary Zerg, or 170 elite Zerg!

Now the hive has bred an elite worm, which has reached the gold elite level, and the attribute blood volume has been greatly enhanced, and the skills have also been greatly improved.

The strength of an elite battle bug is not inferior to that of an elite mercenary.

Originally, compared to the chicken rib healing worm, the healing ability has been enhanced several times, although the healing spell is not as rich as the Terran priest, but the healing worm has an advantage, which is an attribute advantage that the human race can never have!

The Zerg bred by the hive do not belong to summoned beasts or war beasts, they are no different from wild monsters, so their attributes are very powerful, and their life and magic are also excellent.

The healing worm is a gold elite, with a health value of 6000 points, and a healing worm is worth several priests combined, and the healing worm is a monster, and the recovery ability is very strong, and the magic is exhausted, and it only takes a few hours to recover them all.

"Very good!" Zhang Mu was very satisfied, "The effect of this spar is far stronger than I imagined!" ”

The current strength of the insect nest, if the dog people dare to fight, it is simply looking for death! The Scout Bug can be fully popularized in the squad, making it difficult for the Canine Clan thieves to sneak attack!

Leng Yun looked at the hive that had become more huge, and said with great emotion: "Finally grown decently, with the hive in hand, we have a lot of control in the war!" ”

Zhang Mu nodded, and instructed the mercenaries in charge of guarding: "The strength has become stronger, but the consumption has also become several times stronger, let the mercenaries take good care, and must not forget to feed, lest the ability of the hive regress." ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Mu let the insect hive breed a large number of zergs, mainly based on reconnaissance insects, although the strength of the battle insects is good, but in addition to the ability to drill into the ground is relatively easy to use, the strength is not much stronger than the mercenaries, because the number of insect hives is limited, and there is no plan to breed a large number of breeding grounds.

In addition, the hive has bred 30 healing worms, and because of the mana advantage, the healing power is not inferior to that of a priest who is twice as strong, which is enough to greatly improve the survivability of the troops.

"Let's go!"

Hive mana is consumed very quickly, and the more bugs you summon, the more expensive it is to maintain. Zhang Mu did not give birth to all the insects at one time, but only gave birth to some of them first.

After Zhang Mu returned to the station, he asked the mercenaries to send the scout worms to all parts of the Blood Light Plain and closely monitor the Blood Light Plain.

Two more days have passed.

The mercenaries challenged the secret realm as always, or went out hunting collectively, with regular schedules and orderly schedules, and the number of Terrans in the Bloodlight Plains increased to about 14,000 people, basically mobilizing all the mercenaries whose combat ability in the camp was in the middle and upper echelons.

This is a liliang that is strong enough to compete with other races.

On this day, Lei Ming suddenly found Zhang Mu: "The alien race has a new move!" ”

Zhang Mu was a little surprised when he heard this: "Can't sit still so soon?" ”
