Chapter 521: Preparing for Famine
Such an army of spirit eaters needs to consume nearly 10,000 spirit stones every day. Rao is Chen Hao has a huge amount of spirit stones, and he also feels a little painful.
However, for the sake of safety, Chen Hao decided to accept this price.
"Master, I can produce new soldier ants, much stronger than the original soldier ants and these flying ants! Xiao Yi suggested.
Since Chen Hao came out of the White Pony Cave, he has never had the opportunity to use the Spirit Eater Ant, and at this time, he has just learned that Xiao Yi has newly acquired other abilities in addition to his attachment talent.
He asked, "New soldier ants, what can you do?"
"Master, in addition to the original 'Psionic Shock' and 'Heavy Pincer', the new Soldier Ant also has an additional 'Exorcism' ability. 'Exorcism' allows soldier ants to use tools and weapons, even magic weapons!"
The function of repelling things should not appear on relatively low-level demon beasts. After all, demon beasts need to reach the level of transformation before they can use the utensils, magic weapons, and so on used by humans.
But Xiao Yi has a special background, and the soul-eating ants he produced must be related to him, otherwise why is it called "mutation"?
Considering that Xiao Yi has the soul of a qi practitioner, it is not inconceivable that the newly acquired ability of the soldier ant will develop in the direction of humans.
After all, the biggest difference between humans and beasts is their ability to use tools.
"Well, I remember that. But for now, there is no need to produce new soldier ants, so it's better to keep these flying ants. Chen Hao thought for a moment and then decided.
In the process of producing worker ants, the remains of those dead flying ants can offset some of the consumption of spirit stones and food. Now that you want to replace these flying ants, you can also "recycle" them and regenerate the soldiers that can repel things.
But this process is very costly, Chen Hao feels that even if there is a group of soldier ants with magic weapons, the time spent here is not too useful, so it is better not to waste it.
Time flies, and half a year has passed in a blink of an eye.
At this time, there was already a small amount of rippling spiritual liquid in Chen Hao's dantian, which was no longer suitable for measuring by drops. By feeling, there is about one thing that is needed for the formation of the dantian sea.
Chen Hao made the core accessories of the first set of the first generation of Dao Martial Arts armor once. In the meantime, when it was time to refine, he went to the swordsmithing field in the Inhuman Valley and rented their swordsmithing furnace to carry it out.
Although there are also cultivators in the Inhuman Valley who can refine magic weapons other than flying swords, the place where the refining tools are still in accordance with the customs of the Phantom Sword World, called "Sword Casting Field", "Sword Casting Furnace" and so on.
Judging from the appearance and production requirements, the core accessories of the Dao Armor refined by Chen Hao are completely consistent with the requirements of the "Master's Experience". He checked it again and again, but he didn't see anything out of place.
However, due to the lack of cloud iron, the actual effect is still untestable.
When he was about to start refining the second batch of materials, Chen Hao decided not to follow the method recorded in the "Master's Experience" above.
He had this idea for a long time, but the first refining was to familiarize himself with the refining process and methods.
Chen Hao is a qi practitioner, and he can directly use his divine thoughts and mana to control magic weapons. He had no intention of giving this thing to other ordinary people to use.
Therefore, he is going to improve the original Dao Technique Battle Armor, remove the useless transfer part, and directly use divine thoughts and mana to control it!
In this way, you can save more carrying space for your warframe.
Moreover, it seems that it is possible to lower the requirements and no longer use cloud iron, or similar materials to cloud iron.
Because, the most important characteristic of Yun Tie is that it is extremely sensitive to small aura. This trait can be said to be extremely important for ordinary people who are unable to directly control magic weapons with their divine thoughts.
But for Chen Hao, there is no need for this easy-to-manipulate trait. Because it is directly driven by divine thoughts, many materials can achieve sufficient sensitivity!
Therefore, at this time, it is only necessary to consider whether the new shell is compatible with the core components, and whether the new shell has the attributes required by the warframe.
What else does it need for the shell material of a warframe, which no longer considers extremely sensitive controllability?
Sturdy, that's definitely the most important thing.
Compatible, this is also a must, otherwise it will be completely useless to make it out of the magic circle and talisman that you need to engrave, and it will not be able to connect with other accessories.
Other than that, there doesn't seem to be much else. Of course, if there are other good attributes, it is also undesirable for Chen Hao.
He flipped through the second page of the "Master's Experience" and considered the appropriate type of material according to the new requirements from the "Material Chapter".
However, you can't choose materials completely according to the "Material Chapter", because if you choose a material, what if it is not easy to find outside the Artifact Mansion like Yun Tie?
So this is just to provide Chen Hao with a type of material, and he will start with the materials available in front of him within this range, and select the appropriate battle armor shell.
While resting, Chen Hao went to the Inhuman Valley, intending to take a look at what materials he could find from this nearest material distribution center.
The swordsmithing field of the Inhuman Valley, located in the northernmost part of the valley.
This is a very wide cave, and there is also an earth fire in the middle, which is also brought up by different cultivators, and in five specially made sword-forging furnaces, it provides the energy needed for sword casting and refining weapons.
Around the cave, in addition to the Inhuman Valley Folk Organization that manages the swordsmithing field, there are three or four shops selling flying swords, magic weapons, and materials.
However, there are not many monks in the Inhuman Valley, so these shops are deserted.
And in addition to the flying swords, the number of magic weapons they can refine and sell is pitifully small.
The knowledge related to different cultivation and different cultivation is really too suppressed in the phantom sword world. The few magic weapons that can be refined, I don't know what kind of adventures and hardships they have gone through, and they can be preserved as refining methods, so they are very precious.
Compared to flying swords of the same level, these magic weapons can be twice as expensive!
Chen Hao could have refined the weapon here to make some money, but there were not many people who bought it, and Chen Hao didn't have time to do it.
He looked at all the materials they had in the three shops, and there were two or three of them, which seemed to have the potential to replace Yun Tie. But Chen Hao was not very satisfied, because these metal materials were not strong enough.
He was not in a hurry, so he chose the best of them, "Sand Steel", and purchased enough to make a battle armor.
"Guest officer, how many flying swords do you want to refine?" The shopkeeper was a little surprised, because Chen Hao spent more than a thousand spirit stones to buy a full eight hundred catties of sand to make steel.
Chen Hao said casually: "I just learned to make flying swords, so I have a lot of loss. Buy more, and don't waste time running back and forth. ”
Eight hundred catties of sand steel, according to the general consumption, is at least enough to refine the weight of thirty to fifty flying swords, no wonder the shopkeeper feels strange.
