Chapter 40: Metamorphosis

On the desolate sandy land, Chu Fan was followed by more than a dozen wild cattle beasts, their eyes were bloodshot, as if they were in estrus, but it was a pity that the object of their current estrus was not a cow, but Chu Fan.

Once caught up by the herd, with Chu Fan's tender chrysanthemum, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the ravages of the herd.

Chu Fan didn't turn his head back, and avoided the collision of the herd with an S-shaped roundabout route, a person, a group of cattle chased on the desert, fortunately, the wild bull beast had a rigid brain, and would only charge in a straight line, every time he rushed with all his strength, he couldn't take it back if he wanted to, once the target direction changed, it would take a long time to buffer the force, if he knew this, it was not difficult to avoid the charge of the wild bull beast.

A few minutes later, Chu Fan finally crossed the desert and entered the abandoned mine area, the mountain road was rugged, mostly steep slopes and uneven, the terrain was not conducive to charging into battle, the brute bull beast could not rush up in the mine at all, and repeatedly hit the wall, and Chu Fan used the vines of coriander to jump as long as he found a climbing, and quickly used the terrain to throw off the herd.

Chu Fan found a cave, and there were still a few iron-eating larvae in the cave, but after sensing that someone was coming in, they all chose to burrow into the ground and hide. Iron-eating larvae are just a kind of G-level phantom beasts, just hatched from eggs, very weak, they mainly feed on iron ore, rely on devouring iron ore to grow and evolve, can evolve into a C-level mature steel giant worm, the whole body is extremely hard, the defense is extremely strong, the body size is more than ten meters, the strength is judged to be 7 stars, equal to the CCC-level human warrior, among the many mature body phantom beasts, it is also a more tricky existence, even if the C-level card illusionist is not many people are willing to encounter the steel giant worm!

Iron-eating larvae can be seen everywhere in abandoned mines, but there are not many steel giant worms, not one to be exact, because as long as there is a steel giant worm, the abandoned mine will not be an area where the beginner can come, and it will be divided into at least thirty layers or more. Iron-eating larvae rely on devouring iron ore to evolve, it sounds easy, but the actual conditions are a bit harsh, the early evolution is relatively easy, but the more you need to devour the iron ore in the later stage, the more precious it is, and the amount required is huge, and non-local tyrants can't raise it, and there is no such behemoth in a place like abandoning a mine.

The reason why it will be called an abandoned mine here, the focus is naturally on the word abandonment, waste is the meaning of abandonment, why it will be abandoned, it is very simple that there is no use value, although there is a large amount of iron ore underground in this area, but the quality of these iron ores is very poor, there are many impurities, the refining project is complex and expensive, and the final refining is also very inferior iron ore.

The cost is not proportional to the benefit at all, and the iron ore here is naturally abandoned, which is why the iron-eating larvae of the abandoned mine can be seen everywhere, but there are not many fundamental reasons why they can evolve, the iron ore here is too rubbish, and the evolution to the E-level larval iron worm beast is already considered the limit, and the D-level growth of the iron worm is impossible, let alone a mature body.

"Phew!Phew!Phew......"

"Beep, beep, beep, beep......"

After coming down safely, Chu Fan and Coriander were slamming the sand in their mouths, just now in order to avoid the charge of the herd, Chu Fan didn't know how many donkeys he had hit, fortunately, the terrain here in the mine was not conducive to the charge of the brute bull beasts.

"No wonder Sister Pei Lin said that the guys who fight the bull beasts now are unlucky. Chu Fan said in a bad air, if it was really better to hear than to see, after experiencing it himself, he knew that the wild bull beasts here were even crazier than the rumors, and he really doubted that this group of cattle was gnawing medicine.

Originally, Chu Fan also planned to make some extra money and collect some cow hooves to exchange for money, the wild bull beast often ran near the mine, and over the years, the cow hooves were dyed with a layer of metal film, which became very hard, and it became a real metal iron hoof, which could be used as industrial products after melting, so some businessmen were willing to pay to buy the iron hooves of the wild bull beast.

It's just that now, Chu Fan has given up this plan, he doesn't want to provoke that group of mad cows anymore, what should he do when he goes back with a headache now, with the current situation of that group of mad cows, it is a question of whether he can return to the teleportation point safely.

"Forget it, take one step at a time, I don't believe that those mad cows don't need to rest, they can run wild twenty-four hours a day. Chu Fan patted the dust and sand on his body, not thinking about the cows, he took out the silver from the card bag on his waist.

"Gollum. "There is no need for Chu Fan to speak, the gray phantom beast card turned into a liquid pudding after a while of wriggling, and the phantom beast card must be unsealed by the host, so that the phantom beast inside can come out, but silver is different, its phantom beast card is just an imitation, tangible and intangible, it can move if it wants, change it if it wants, and it doesn't need Chu Fan's permission at all.

This cave is not deep, only a few meters in size, and the light from the outside can also shine some in, and when he came in, Chu Fan saw a few iron-eating larvae, although they are hiding now, but it doesn't matter, because Chu Fan's target is not them.

Any creature will choose to stay near the food in order to facilitate eating, even the phantom beast can't do without this criterion, there are iron-eating larvae, it proves that there is an iron mine in this cave, and the iron mine is the purpose of Chu Fan's coming to abandon the mine this time!

Since Silver swallowed the Phantom Beast Card in front of Chu Fan, Chu Fan, who had been to the abandoned mine, suddenly associated the characteristic of Silver with iron-eating larvae, the essence of the Phantom Beast Card is metal, silver can devour Phantom Beast Card, so can it also devour metal?

With this question in mind, Chu Fan searched in the cave, and soon found a few pieces of unrefined iron ore from the pile of rubble, and there were small black holes on them. Although the iron ore is very small, only the size of a ping-pong ball, it is better not to polish, the rock layer has been disposed of by the iron-eating insects, and the whole piece is metal, after all, the iron-eating larvae can devour only iron ore, and the rocks they don't eat, and it is useless to eat them, and the small black hole above is the best proof that the iron-eating larvae have eaten.

Chu Fan put the iron ore in the palm of his hand, and Yin consciously climbed up, pressed the iron ore under him, and slowly integrated the iron ore into Yin's body, and in less than a second, the four small iron mines had completely disappeared.

"So fast?" Chu Fan said in surprise, although he had seen Yin 'eat' his Phantom Beast Card in just a few seconds, but that time he couldn't see the process, and it was also possible that the metal of the Phantom Beast Card had been refined and was very suitable for absorption, so it was fast. This time, it was shocking to see that silver could devour all the unrefined iron ore in less than a second!

The last time Chu Fan came to the abandoned mine, he had seen someone hunting and eating iron larvae and feeding them on the spot, but not to mention the speed at which the iron-eating larvae ate, looking at the iron ore just now, he actually knew that one word was slow, two words were very slow, and three words were very slow......

Take small bites, take a few bites and stop and wait for digestion before eating, after a few hours, the iron ore is full of holes, but it has not been eaten, not to mention the efficiency, Chu Fan has never had the idea of fighting it since he saw the iron-eating larvae eat, it sounds very tempting, eating iron ore can evolve, in fact, the time it takes to waste is outrageous.

Of course, there is also a shortcut to the rapid evolution of iron-eating larvae, that is, to feed with precious rare iron ore, iron-eating larvae have a limited feeding speed, under the same devouring speed, the better the quality of the iron ore devoured, the faster the evolution, just want to find a large number of rare iron ore is not easy, even if there is, it may not be willing to take it out to feed, think about iron-eating larvae raised, it is simply equivalent to burning money!

"Gollum~" The silver is still unfinished, and it is asking Chu Fan for more iron ore, these iron ores don't look very good, and they are far inferior to the phantom beast card, but at least it can still eat it, a little more energy, it wants to become stronger, so it needs more, more iron ore!

"As long as you can eat it, you can have as much as you want!" Chu Fan smiled, although after devouring a few pieces of small iron ore, the silver has not changed like last time, but looking at its reaction, it should have a little effect, with this kind of devouring speed, as long as the amount is large, he believes that the quantitative change will cause a qualitative change sooner or later, the entire abandoned mine, can this little guy finish eating?

The small cave, there is not much iron ore, it was exploited by Chu Fan in less than ten minutes, and the underground iron-eating larvae dare not speak out, the iron ore they have worked so hard to deal with is actually robbed like this, and they want to cry without tears.

It wasn't until he couldn't find a piece of finished product that Chu Fan took the silver to find the next cave. In abandoned mines, small caves like this are everywhere, not artificially excavated, they are all dug by iron-eating larvae themselves, they are born to sense the location of iron ore, and after finding iron ore, they will stay for a while, knowing that they will eat all the iron ore in the place before leaving.

If Chu Fan continues to dig, he may be able to dig up iron ore, but that is not his specialty, how to dig it? Do you want coriander to dig with vines? Don't joke, that's not an electric drill bit, if you want coriander to dig it, he might as well buy a masturbation stick to make a hole, the efficiency may be faster......

Therefore, for Chu Fan, who has no ability to excavate, if he wants iron ore, he can only plunder the iron-eating larvae that have the ability to excavate but have no ability to protect, and one cave after another was looted by Chu Fan, and the devouring speed of silver has not weakened at all, like a bottomless black hole, devouring all iron ore.

A whole day passed, almost all the caves on the surface of the abandoned mine had been plundered by Chu Fan, maybe even he himself had forgotten that this was the first few caves, he only knew that as the silver devoured more and more iron ore, its body finally underwent some changes that could be seen by the naked eye, the luster of the metal became more and more intense, pinched with his hands, it was still very soft, but soft and hard!

Originally, Yin's body seemed to be like a jellyfish, soft and broken when stabbed, but now no matter how hard Chu Fan pinched and poked, Yin's body was only slightly sunken, and there was no longer the softness before.

Although the data on the Phantom Beast Illustrated Book about Silver still has not changed, and the combat effectiveness is always zero, Chu Fan knows that this is definitely not his illusion, even if the Phantom Beast Illustrated Book cannot detect it, but Silver is indeed slowly transforming!
