Bankruptcy beast

Jiang Chen did not tell Li Yang and the patrol wind envoy about his thoughts, and Li Yang and the patrol wind envoy seemed to have their own concerns. The three of them stared at the mechanical wreckage in front of them in a daze.

"Ahem... Patrol Wind Envoy, do you think these stones are the raw materials for making the Sky-Opening Cone?\

,"Jiang Chen was the first to break the silence and asked with a piece of ore.

Relying on the induction of the palm of the universe, he could be sure that the activated Sky-Opening Cone was not far away, so these ores were likely to be the raw materials of the Sky-Opening Cone.

If this was the case, he would have to destroy this place for both public and private reasons.

"Ethereal Stone, one of the main materials for making the Sky-Opening Cone."

The patrol wind envoy nodded very affirmatively and said, "This should be just the periphery of the mining area, and there may be more mining sites inside."

"In that case, let's keep moving forward."

Jiang Chen made the decision without any hesitation. Finding the Sky-Opening Cone and the origin of the raw materials were all in their plan. Now it would be best to kill two birds with one stone.

As for who is behind this and what kind of impact it will have after it is exposed, we can only take it one step at a time.

Li Yang and the patrol officer looked at each other and neither raised any objections.

Since they have already made a discovery, they should investigate it thoroughly.

The three continued to move forward. As for the remains of these mechanical pet spirits, the nine-barreled shadow beasts would naturally stay to deal with them.

By the way, after dealing with the remains, these shadow beasts need to stay to mine some ores and bring them back.

Since the main material of the Kaitian Cone is these ores, they may also be used to help activate the stone gate.

If this is the case, even if the effect is a little worse, it is quite good.

But now they still have to hurry to find other mechanical pet spirits.

The mine is very deep and the terrain is quite complex. Although the light emitted by the ores themselves will not lead to no vision, it is also quite troublesome to move.

If there were no traces of the mechanical elves' activities on the ground, they would be like headless flies.

It rains on a leaking roof.

Before they had walked far, the three of them came across a fork in the road, and there were traces of mechanical pet spirit activity on all three forks.

"Hongzhong, Jiutong, can you find anything?"

Jiang Chen frowned slightly and immediately sent out Hongzhong and Jiutong.

But not long after the two pets released their clones and shadow beasts to enter the mine, they lost contact with their clones.

Unable to determine the situation in the three forks, it meant that they had to act separately if they wanted to continue exploring.

But it was obviously a bit risky to separate in such an unknown environment.

"It seems that the reserves of ore here have also increased, and it has reached the point where it can interfere with mental power."

The patrol wind envoy sensed it slightly and said, "Except for a few special attributes such as the space system, other attributes will probably be greatly reduced."

Jiang Chen was silent. So far, he has basically mastered only one way to destroy the Kaitian Cone, which is to smash it with pure physical attacks.

As for other attribute attacks, they will be absorbed by the Kaitian Cone and become its energy to attract small worlds.

Even the air vibrations such as sound will be absorbed by the ethereal stone, affecting the propagation of sound.

Now that I think about it, the ‘silent’ characteristic of the Silent Snow Mountain may be caused by the ethereal stone.

The space system will not be absorbed, but it will also not be able to destroy the Sky-Opening Cone, and it can only ensure that the combat effectiveness will not be affected.

And these characteristics are almost all given by the ethereal stone.

In other words, fighting in an environment full of ethereal ores, the combat effectiveness of most pets will be weakened.

But there is a kind of pet that will not be affected.

Mechanical system.

“No wonder they choose to use mechanical pets to dig ethereal stone mines, which can not only ensure the mining efficiency, but also do not have to worry about the suppression of combat effectiveness.”

Jiang Chen smacked his lips. If Fa Cai had not taken the path of body refining, and the laws he used now were all special systems, otherwise he might not have been able to defeat those mechanical pets so easily just now.

As for the remaining Hongzhong and the others…

Although Hongzhong has embarked on a new path, it is still mainly based on elemental attributes, which will inevitably be affected.

The shadow attribute of Jiutong has been affected, and the soul system has been weakened a little, but it is only in terms of perception, and the battle should still be fine.

On the contrary, the white board that has begun to transform, and Dongfeng, who is called telekinesis system but actually sword control system, have not been affected much in combat power.

In general, Jiang Chen's combat power is almost intact, but the other two...

"Don't look at me with such eyes, I haven't reached the point where I need others to take care of me."

The patrol wind envoy snorted coldly and walked into the passage on the left first.

"I'll go first. If I find the activated Kaitian cone, I will come to you."

After saying that, the patrol wind envoy left without looking back.

"Then I'll go this way."

Li Yang pointed to the darkest right side and said: "The dark pattern snow leopard has a shadow world projection, which can exert stronger power in this environment, even if there is a weakening of the ethereal stone, the impact is not great."

"...Okay, you pay attention to safety."

Jiang Chen thought about it for a while, and still agreed with Li Yang's statement.

But when Li Yang's figure completely disappeared in the darkness, Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly became deep.

"Jiu Tong, can you avoid being discovered by him?"

Rustle...

Jiu Tong nodded slightly, and his body immediately sank into the shadow, following the darkness in the cave and quietly drilling into Li Yang's shadow.

This place will block mental power, and it is easy to lose contact by relying on shadow beasts to track, and there is also a risk of being discovered by the dark-patterned snow leopard.

But if it is replaced by Jiu Tong, it will be much better, at least the control contract is not so easily affected.

The most important thing is that Jiu Tong can hide in the manor as soon as possible even if he encounters a crisis.

"I hope it was just my misunderstanding before."

After confirming that the connection with Jiu Tong was very stable, Jiang Chen walked towards the cave in the middle.

Compared with the other two forks, the middle one seemed wider, and traces of mining could be vaguely seen on the rock wall.

Obviously, these are all mines dug by mechanical pet spirits, and they should have been opened not long ago.

This is somewhat different from the cave outside.

"Did you accidentally discover the ethereal stone mine, or did the cave outside open up the mine?"

Jiang Chen held the nightmare time tightly and stared at the front carefully.

The ethereal stones on the surface of the rock wall have been mined out, and there is almost no light. Only the golden light cast by the Thirty-three Heavens Xuanhuang Tower can ensure that they will not hit the wall.

As for the technological lighting method... it can be used, but the previous half-month wilderness trip has exhausted the power of all the electronic devices on Jiang Chen's hand, and then he encountered a lot of messy things, and there is no time to replenish.

However, using the Thirty-three Heavens Creation Fairy Light to light up, it is estimated that only Jiang Chen can do it.

But the effect is really good.

It should be a dark mine, where light and sound cannot be transmitted, but the area around Jiang Chen is abnormally bright.

If not, Jiang Chen really thought he had fallen into a soul game.

The complexity of the mine was beyond Jiang Chen's imagination. Jiang Chen walked for a long time but couldn't see the end, and he couldn't help feeling tired.

Walking in a dark environment for too long will cause great pressure on the mind. This has nothing to do with the level of mental strength, it is simply a test of will.

"Can anyone really survive in this environment?"

Thinking that this place might have been a shelter, Jiang Chen felt more and more sad about the dark life of humans in the early days of the Dawn Calendar.

At the same time, he was even more indignant at the Avalanche Organization.

Evidently, our ancestors had already experienced such a dark era, but there were still people who were moving closer to the enemies of mankind.

Sure enough, no matter which world or era, there would always be "traitors".

Da Da!

At this moment, Fa Cai suddenly sent a warning.

Just in front of the road, Fa Cai sensed the presence of a large amount of metal.

And these metals were still moving quickly.

"Mechanical pet spirits...little ones, come to life!"

Jiang Chen waved his fist, leaving only Fa Cai to protect himself by his side, and signaled other pet spirits to move freely.

Although there are restrictions on the empty spirit stone, it still does not prevent Hong Zhong from bullying them.

After all, from the current environment, these mechanical pet spirits are more inclined to the industrial type of mining.

Sure enough, not long after the pet spirits were preparing for battle, a team of mechanical pet spirits appeared in front of Jiang Chen and others.

However, unlike the mining troops that Jiang Chen had expected, the other party was fully armed and a true combat model!

"It seems that the previous wave of battle had exposed them..."

Jiang Chen was a little speechless. It was a pity that he had been so careful along the way. It turned out that they had known that he was coming.

It was also his fault that he was too careless. He was busy thinking about the origin of the mechanical pet spirit, but he forgot that the mechanical pet spirit was not only intelligent, but also a smart machine that combined the current technology.

In short, they can communicate remotely regardless of distance.

"In this case, there is no need to be low-key."

Jiang Chen twisted his neck, and Hong Zhong's pet spirit immediately understood and rushed forward at the same time.

Because the long-range skills would be affected, Hong Zhong simply gave up the fancy skills and chose melee.

Whether it was the water unicorn condensed by the Hunyuan True Water or the ice unicorn condensed by the Xuanming True Water, they also had great advantages in close combat.

Wherever the two unicorns passed, the mechanical pet spirits were either smashed into pieces or completely silenced and frozen into pieces.

As for the white board, it was even easier. Although the toxins had a poor effect on the mechanical pet spirits, the desolate poison body could corrode the metal shell, but the efficiency was average.

But with the Demon-Destroying Soul-Swallowing Curse and the Lifeless Quicksand, the white board could dismantle those mechanical pet spirits almost without moving.

As for Dongfeng... emmm, this kid was actually let go in the dark. When he saw someone approaching, he would smash it with a telekinetic fist, and his efficiency even exceeded that of Hongzhong and Baiban.

"Does this mean that I have to act in secret in the future?"

Jiang Chen pulled the corner of his mouth and led the pet spirits to push forward, and the mechanical pet spirit troops were also gathering in an endless stream.

Jiang Chen was quite satisfied with this.

Originally, he was not sure about the opponent's position, but now at least he could lock the base of the mechanical troops.

As for whether it was a trap...

Jiang Chen turned a corner, and the darkness around him suddenly dissipated, replaced by a huge, brightly lit hole and...

an ancient altar burning with green flames! (End of this chapter)
