Chapter 84 Unexpected Situations
"It actually went from fever to self-destruction. How interesting. Or maybe this is a special evolution and not a failure?"

After coming to his senses, Rhodes looked out the window, unsure.

This kind of self-destructive evolution is unlikely to occur in nature.

Even if there are a few individuals who really can't get over it, they won't be able to pass it on to future generations.

In his experimental records, Rhodes named this self-explosive fungus "explosive fungus".

And draw red marks for special attention.

An evolution comparable to dynamite deserves his attention.

There is explosives in this world, but they are a special kind of mineral called Red Sun Crystal.

It can be activated by heat and is rare and expensive.

High-purity Red Sun Crystal is a strategic resource and is often made into high-powered cannons for use in wars.

Those with lower purity were carved into handicrafts by artists and displayed by nobles in the banquet halls of castles.

As for the former one nitre two sulphur three charcoal, the formula of this black powder is not applicable in this world.

It’s not that it can’t burn, but the energy released is not fast enough to produce the power of an explosion.

Long ago, Rhodes experimented with changing the ingredients.

But there was no way to increase the power of the explosion, and in the end the project ended in nothing.

Now it seems that perhaps he has found one of the alternatives to gunpowder.

"Not sure. It needs to be studied carefully before it can be determined." Rhodes shook his head and was not immediately happy.

If he wanted to use explosive fungi to replace gunpowder, he first needed to find a way to safely cultivate this fungus.

And keep it stable in daily state.

At present, he does not have these two conditions and needs to explore them slowly.

After finishing today's research, Rhodes had dinner and sat on the bed in the room.

Close your eyes and you will feel the familiar feeling of soul sublimation.

Today is Monday, and Rhodes once again stepped into the Northern Territory.

It’s still the familiar village.

He went out to the blacksmith shop.

During the time in the Shadow of the North, Rod basically helped the dwarf blacksmiths to forge armor.

This process allowed him to rapidly increase his proficiency in white steel craft.

The forging of the armor is also nearing completion.

"Ha, my work is done! I can finally have a good night's sleep."

In the blacksmith's shop, the dwarf blacksmith looked at the finished product and laughed with relief.

Then he threw away the hammer, lay down on his recliner and dozed off.

Rhodes picked up the "Ice and Snow Guardian" set and looked at it curiously.

Although the dwarf blacksmith has stopped working, the armor is not yet completed.

In addition to the outer layer of stainless steel, it also needs to be matched with a soft lining to keep warm and resist impact.

Following the dwarf blacksmith's instructions, Rhodes picked up the armor and brought it to the sheepfold next to the blacksmith shop.

The village's weaver lived there, and was responsible for the subsequent lining work of the armor.

As he approached the sheepfold, he heard continuous bleating sounds.

In the sheepfold, Rod saw a special kind of sheep with pure white fur.

That is the first-level magical beast, the giant snow sheep, which evolved from the cashmere sheep.

Cashmere sheep are shaped like marshmallows, and appear fluffy and round.

But the evolved snow sheep is different. It has a sturdy body, strong limbs, and can climb back and forth on steep cliffs skillfully.

Most importantly, the wool of the snow sheep is very fine and has excellent warmth retention properties.

The female warriors in the village wore woolen coats made from snow sheep.

It looks like a thin white tights, showing the curves of their chest and thighs perfectly, with both elegance and wild charm.

"Here, here, come here." When Rhodes came over, the weaving grandmother's daughter waved enthusiastically.

After trotting in front of him, she led the way and took him to the work site. There, the weaving granny was processing cashmere. When she saw Rhode coming, she nodded and took the armor.

"I have the lining ready. I just need to adjust it slightly according to the size of the armor. Sit there and wait for me."

Rhodes nodded to show that he understood, and sat nearby to watch curiously.

While the mother-in-law's daughter sat next to him, chatting enthusiastically.

"You are the blacksmith's assistant, and I am the weaver's daughter. Don't you think we are a perfect match? Don't you? Don't you think so?"

The girl, who was about his age, said happily, holding her face in her hands and staring at the man in front of her.

Seeing that Sanxue was not around, Rhodes could only smile politely and remain silent.

The girl didn't care and continued to talk to herself: "Sanxue will leave the village soon, you will be so lonely all by yourself."

"Besides, women like her who fight all the time are actually very fierce! If you want to find a partner, don't look for that kind of woman. If you are a weak boy like you, if you make that kind of woman angry, she will abuse you, which is terrible!"

The girl raised her fist towards him, pretending to punch him. "Isn't it scary? But don't worry."

She quickly stood up, gently lifted the hem of her skirt, and made a cute jumping motion.

"I'm different. I never fight. I'm super gentle! Perfect for living together."

As she spoke, she put down her skirt and stretched out her hand to Rhodes, expecting the man in front of her to hold her hand.

Just as Rhodes was considering how to refuse.

The girl was hit hard on the head, making a loud noise.

"Ah, mom, what are you doing? Don't stop me from finding a man! Otherwise, your family will be extinct and you will have no children!"

The girl covered her head and glared angrily at the weaving lady behind her.

The weaving woman hit her again in annoyance.

Then he pushed her aside and came in front of Rhodes.

"Don't worry about this crazy girl. I've already taken care of the armor. You can give it to Sanxue."

Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to take the armor.

The armor in front of him was a light armor with an icy white appearance and a smooth and light shape.

The interior is lined with fine wool from the Great Snow Sheep, which feels warm and soft to the touch.

The weaving grandmother looked outside the village and said with a worried tone, "Recently, the village's warriors have been gathering more and more frequently. I'm afraid that a powerful dragon servant leader has appeared outside. Sanxue and the others are now fighting the enemy outside the village. I hope they return safely."

"Besides, don't listen to what the kid says. We residents can live in peace thanks to the protection of our brave warriors. They are all good kids."

Seeing her mother ruining her own show, the girl next to her pouted unhappily and said:

"I made a lot of their protective gear. When it comes to protecting the village, I'm even busier than them."

She pushed the weaving grandmother away, came back to Rhodes, and whispered:

"Don't worry about the danger. The guardian will be in the village soon. It will be safe here then."

"We two can be happy!"

Just as the girl gently pulled Rhodes' sleeve and fantasized with a silly smile, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

With a scream, his face turned pale in an instant.

An enemy has broken in!
From the roof not far away, a ferocious dragon servant jumped down.

The long sword made of bones in his hand chopped towards her head!

"Why?" Before she died, the girl's eyes were full of confusion and unwillingness. She couldn't understand why the dragon servant would appear here.

Just when she wanted to push the man away and bear it alone.

A strong arm grabbed her waist and dragged her away, allowing her to dodge the attack at the critical moment.

It looks like there's a big problem on the battlefield outside.

Rhodes stared at the dragon servant that appeared before him and understood this in his heart.

Under the confused and surprised eyes of the girl and the weaver woman, he drew out a black sword from mid-air.

The spiritual power of hundreds of Mist Ravens was now bestowed upon him, allowing Rhodes to gain the surging power of the ultimate peak.

With light footsteps on the ground, his body disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, the dragon servant was cut in half!
