Chapter 181 Mithril Mine! Sunset City

"Blood of God."

Xiao En's figure was suspended in the air hundreds of meters above the ground. The biting cold wind made his black and gold robe rustle. In the distance, there was a faint sound of explosions from the new recruits who were clearing out the filthy mud monsters. Most of them were third-stage promoted extraordinary people, with an average professional level of only 3-5. However, relying on the advantages of their rare equipment, it was not difficult for them to deal with these filthy mud monsters with an average challenge level of about 5.

"Abnormal fluctuations detected from underground."

"The target is the [Divine Blood Contaminated Body]!"

Under Xiao En's feet was a blood-red rock, the product of the infiltration of God's blood. In the center was a quagmire with a diameter of more than a thousand meters. The dark red mud surged with large bubbles. With the muffled sound of the earth trembling, countless blood-red muds gathered, and a behemoth tens of meters high emerged from the quagmire. Its body was made up of dark red pus and blood, and bubbles kept coming out of the skin. The surging pus mixed with dust and rocks formed a natural armor.

——God Blood Devourer [Super Giant Mud Monster] [Elementalization] [Lord] (Challenge Level 20)? !

This is a relic from the Dark Ages. It should have been transformed into the blood of the Holy Spirit, but in the weird kingdom, there is no need to expect it to condense into anything normal. It would be good if it doesn't turn into some strange and evil creature.

——Summon the Elemental Lord (9th level spell)!

Xiao En began to cast a spell with an expressionless face. Along with a torn space crack, a giant figure like a mountain appeared on the ground.

"Who is summoning the Son of the Mountains?" A rumbling sound was heard.

Countless boulders gathered to form a huge outline of it descending to the material plane. Its burly body was made entirely of rocks. It was a super-giant earth element, an elemental lord from the inner plane. When they walked on the ground, they were like a moving mountain. The rank of elemental lords was even higher than that of elemental elders. They were secondary elemental lords with a biological level of 25 or above. After descending to the main material plane, their strength would be weakened. The average challenge level was about 18.

In fact, many creatures cannot defeat the caster's 9th-level summons, such as the Druid's Elemental Legion, the Priest's Otherworldly Servant, the Mage's Abyss Gate, Gate to Another World, Scourge of the Undead, Elemental Lord, etc.

Rumble.

Under Sean's command, the Lord of Earth Elemental swung his fist with a diameter of several meters and smashed it at the Divine Blood Devourer in front of him. Even the aftermath of the battle between the two super-giant creatures caused the nearby rocks to collapse, and countless blood-colored rocks fell into the mud. All the polluted mud monsters that were slightly closer were crushed into debris.

Xiao En himself observed the battlefield slowly, as if searching for something, until the summoning time of the Elemental Lord ended and the mountain-like figure gradually dissipated. Only then did he calmly cast the spell again.

The Elemental Lord is powerful, but he also has a fatal flaw, which is that the summoning time is very short, and one casting level can only last for six seconds.

Even a level 20 mage can only last for two minutes.

Using a 9th-level spell slot to summon a thug that can only last for two minutes is still a bit of a luxury for most spellcasters.

Xiao En did this purely because his magic pool was very abundant.

——Summon the Elemental Lord.

Again.

A raging fire rose up, and in the burning sea of ​​fire, the figure of a giant fire elemental appeared on the battlefield. It held a blazing hammer and carried endless rage. As soon as it appeared, it began to indiscriminately attack all enemies within the range.

Swirling flames made up its massive lower body, making it look like the Firelord - Ragnaros.

Among the four elements, the fire element has the most violent temper. It is best to add protection against fire damage before summoning them, otherwise they may burn you to charcoal. The Blood Devourer, who had just been hammering with the Earth Elemental Lord for a long time, had no time to catch his breath before the Fire Elemental Lord pounced on him. The mud on his body was burned into charred blocks by the raging fire, and his skin was cracked and peeled off piece by piece. The dark golden blood flowing in his body also appeared in front of Xiao En.

Strictly speaking, among the four elements, the fire element has the strongest combat power, because most stars are connected to the fire element plane.

Bang bang bang!
There isn't much skill involved in the fight between the two super giant creatures. Their enormous bodies don't allow them to use any advanced fighting techniques. They just use simple punches to deal damage in exchange for damage. Each of their blows is earth-shaking. Relying on their huge size and powerful basic attributes, even an ordinary punch is enough to crush other creatures.

"almost."

Xiao En's sight finally fell on the God-Blood Devourer that was roaring in the swamp. The opponent was already in a seriously injured state, with less than half health, and within his killing line.

——Law: Death (9th level spell)!

Strands of obscure traces of death emerged. At this moment, Xiao En seemed to see the lines of death converge into runes, and finally form the mantra of law that deprived all mortal creatures of their lives. As Xiao En's fingertips pointed at the Divine Blood Devourer in front of him, the next second its huge body began to fall apart. No matter whether it was an evil creature or an element, no matter whether it was a mortal creature or divine blood, at this moment in Xiao En's eyes it was a life that could be deprived at any time.

"Decree: Death: If the target is not immune to instant death spells, instantly kill a creature with 120 or less health points."

boom.

The huge body of the God-Blood Devourer turned into mud all over the ground, as if it was melting. In the core of its body, a blood-red crystal gradually emerged. Countless dark golden blood threads gathered into the crystal core, and the matter on the ground kept wriggling and gathering into a crystal-shaped extraordinary relic.

"Divine blood crystal detected!"

"Divine relics detected!"

Sean waved his hand gently, and the huge blood-red crystal fell into his palm. The moment he touched it, Sean saw the shadow of a huge giant. It was the offspring of the Mother of Stone, the Son of the Mountains - Hegodog, a demigod born with godhood and divinity.

It has been a long time since He fell, and the only remaining remains turned into the God-Blood Devourer, an elemental monster lord.

"Clean the battlefield."

"Collect all the blood rocks nearby and send them to the Mechanical Heart for research."

Xiao En expressionlessly crushed the blood-colored crystal in his hand. As traces of light golden blood emerged, the remaining divine power flowed into his body through his skin.

1 divinity point.

Unlike the trace of divinity bestowed upon him by the three fairy sisters in the lake, this divine power was obtained by him by killing evil creatures, so it takes some time to digest.

Sean needs to erase any remaining consciousness in the divinity, and eventually integrate it into his own soul to transform it into his own immortal divinity. However, as a spellcaster with both arcane and spiritual paths, it will be much easier for Sean to digest the divine power left by the monster, because he can shatter all the broken personality fragments.

If he encounters a divine origin that is particularly difficult to digest, Xiao En can directly sacrifice it to the Will of Terra, since it is not picky about food anyway.

Sean took the divinity bite by bite, while Terra's will swarmed over and took a bite.

"——In early October of the 1002th Era 10, you led your followers to extinguish the source of pollution in the Sludge Pit and killed the monster lord, the God-Blood Devourer. (Legend Degree +2)"

The mysterious knowledge in his brain seemed to evolve, and Sean knew everything with just a thought.

Legend degree.

As expected, one needs to kill truly legendary enemies in order to condense the legendary level of this world.

The battle ended before dusk.

As the last batch of recruits left, a teleportation array was opened in the muddy swamp. Amid the rumbling sound, a huge mechanical construct crossed the portal and appeared in the mud. A driver wearing mechanical glasses in the crowd took off his goggles, looked around, and the tentacles on his forehead trembled slightly. He frowned and said, "This damn place is not easy to dig!"

"Bring the Adamantite Drill over here!"

A tank-like structure gradually emerged. Its head was a huge drill with a golden luster on its surface. Its heavy tracks rolled over the corpse, tilted at an angle after stopping, and soon began to rotate rapidly. A large amount of gravel splashed and was sent behind it along the conveyor belt. A mine pit with a diameter of about three meters quickly emerged.

"no!"

“It’s easy for the bottom to collapse.”

The one who spoke was a strange creature dressed as an engineer. It was not a human. It had a head similar to that of a hippopotamus, was sturdy and tall, and was nearly two meters tall. It carried a heavy gun on its back. After shouting at the other non-human creatures, it commanded: "Ether Boring Machine!"

"Someone is coming."

"Bring the Ether Boring Machine over here! This is the first job we've taken on, so don't mess it up!"

A huge vehicle that looks like a land fortress emerges. It has a tank-like appearance and is a super-large vehicle that can slowly dig tunnels underground. This huge construction machine can also be used directly in wars. The solid armor can protect against most injuries, and the internal space is enough to accommodate a team of 10 soldiers. Its wheels are activated by magic and can be driven in the direction indicated by the driver. This vehicle is different from modern large-scale machinery. Its style is a bit like the machine in Metal Slug. The activation magic makes the entire machine very flexible.

Its track wheels can move autonomously, which is equivalent to four-wheel drive positioning.
After replacing the Ether Tunneling Machine, the progress of digging the mine tunnel was obviously much faster. A large amount of rubble was transported out by the conveyor belt and soon piled up into a small hill.

"Thanks for your hard work."

The burly figure of Quin-To appeared behind the crowd, holding a box of cigars in his hand. He passed them out to other creatures beside him and said familiarly, "These are little gadgets from the Real World, from the Kingdom of Dorne. Try them. They are different from what we usually smoke."

Scatter the smoke, scatter the smoke.

The leader of this group of people was the burly man with a hippopotamus head. He reached out to take it, a flame appeared on his fingertips, and after lighting it, he took a sip, exhaled a cloud of mist and said, "It's a little light."

"The Shire tobacco from Canyang City is still the best."

These strange-looking intelligent creatures come from the City of Cangyang. Some of them are natives of the material plane, some are interstellar space races, and some are mercenaries from other planes.

Among the seven Witch King cities, Canyang City has the smallest population (approximately 60,000 to 70,000), but has the largest number of spellcasters, and the entire city is not on land.

Quinn To looks a lot more sophisticated than in the past.

When I first met Sean in the Dark Forest, he was still a down-and-out exile, but now he was wearing exquisite mithril armor, a huge jewel amulet on his chest, and the giant power wristbands on his hands were very eye-catching. He looked like an exploding mine owner. He greeted others familiarly, and in just half an hour he had dug out a bottomless underground mine.

The magic level of Canyang City is quite high. After all, their origins are a group of primordial sorcerers who drained the vitality of the entire planet.

And unlike other Witch King cities, Cangyang City has the inheritance of the Magicians. According to Xiao En's understanding, they are a group of engineers who can summon mechanical turrets and drive Gundams before Legend as long as they are rich enough. Although Magicians are also one of the advanced professions in the alchemy path, they are more scientific and very good at activating constructs.

The entire excavation lasted a day and a night.

Following an excited voice coming from deep underground, insect miners soon entered the underground mine.

"We've found a mineral vein!"

Some ore samples were sent up. The surfaces of those metal ores showed a little bit of silver-white, as if they were insoluble in other ores. They were a little spotted and sparkled slightly under the sunlight.

"The purity is not high, we have to keep digging." said a gray dwarf dressed as a blacksmith.

He extended his hand to the others and asked, "Is there anyone here who can perform magic?"

"Help me make a furnace."

"Let me see how much mithril I can extract."

Half a day passed quickly. After working for a long time, the gray dwarf came out from behind the furnace with a tray carrying a small metal pellet. He held up the silver-white metal that was half the size of a rice grain and said, "Less than one gram."

"There may be fine gold in the depths of this vein. Is there any way to explore it further?"

A tall figure walked out of the crowd. She had pointed ears and looked like an elf. However, unlike other elves, her eyes were bloodshot. After greedily glancing at the mithril, the blood-red elf murmured, "I have a way to try."

"But I want a share of the output here."

The gray dwarf stared at her for a while, then showed the Terra emblem under his robe and said in a deep voice: "Friend. If you are just exploring, you are not qualified to get a share."

The tall elf didn't seem surprised. She raised her wrist, and a blood-red sunset emblem appeared. She said calmly, "We can invest in the company."

"How about three hundred thousand soul stones?"

hiss.

Hearing the other party's words, the expressions of the other people around were shocked, and Quinn To was also surprised, because he had never noticed the existence of such a person in the team.

In fact, when he was recruiting a prospecting team in Canyang City, some people had already noticed him.

There aren't many living people in the weird country, so unfamiliar faces can easily attract attention.

Not all minerals require an ether tunneling machine. Ordinary copper and iron mines do not require such large-scale alchemical structures. You should know that the cost of an ether tunneling machine is hundreds of thousands of gold dollars. There are only two or three of them in the entire material plane, and they are basically controlled by old-fashioned plane merchant groups.

The City of Canyang is different from other Witch King cities. It has an abandoned star port. As the name suggests, it is a port leading to outer space, used to dock starships, dimensional sphere ships, living star ships and other interstellar spacecraft.

Although the Weird Kingdom has been isolated by gray fog for nearly a thousand years, the star port of Canyang City has always been well maintained.

The star port is not very large and can only accommodate one or two dimensional spaceships at most.

In fact, next to the well-known Baldur's Gate, in the direction of Waterdeep, is the largest starship port in the entire Faerun plane.

In the weird kingdom, if the old pillars had not come, the natives and the alien souls would have already joined forces to explore outer space.

After all, they have always known about the existence of Suen's Mind Flayer Fleet. If it weren't for the gray fog that isolated the space, it might be difficult to build an interstellar battleship, but it would be easy to build a few living star ships.

The gray dwarf was Father Terra. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Friend. I need to report this matter to the archbishop before I can give you an answer."

The blood-colored elf with a cold and beautiful face didn't care and said calmly, "Okay."

"I'm not in a hurry."

After giving a look to the person beside him, the gray dwarf priest quickly returned to the furnace, took out the ritual materials and lit them. As a Terran priest, he couldn't make a decision on such a big matter. After all, a large amount of manpower and resources had been mobilized to mine this mithril mine.

The students of the first three classes of Mechanical Heart cleared the monsters around in batches, and the Deep Pit Mine also mobilized all the funds.

This was the first large mineral vein mined by the Church of Terra, and they were definitely picking a high-value target.

A few minutes later.

He walked out with a natural look and said, "The Archbishop agrees."

"When will the Soul Stone be delivered?"

The blood-colored elf's eyes turned, and he said softly: "First hand over half of the soul stones, and the rest will be replaced with materials for building the mine."

"We want half the shares."

The gray dwarf priest frowned upon hearing this. He said in a deep voice, "You are too greedy. At most 30%."

The blood-red elf lifted her long hair elegantly and said with a smile, "At least 40%."

The gray dwarf inadvertently touched the pendant near his ear. He hesitated for a moment and said, "At most 35%. Let's make friends."

"After all, this is only our first collaboration."

"You know, our church is best at discovering underground mineral treasures."

The bloody elf's expression was a little hesitant. She made a slight gesture and turned away from the crowd. It seemed that she had activated some kind of magic item. She was probably not the one who made the decision. After a moment, she turned around and said, "Deal!"

“Looking forward to our next cooperation.”
