Struggle in the Steam Age

There is no sun outside the star realm of the sea and flames, but the entire sky emits some orange-red light, just like the golden-red light in the morning or evening.

Under the golden-red light, next to a small pond that was slowly settling from the turbidity, the Ratman Laka and the dwarf Kog were surrounding the materials collected by a huge black-gray spider, and the burly warrior Lei Suo was watching his surroundings nervously, for fear that something would rush out and attack everyone at this moment.

Fortunately, in the wild, there are usually no other things near a powerful creature, so no other monsters rushed out of the surrounding bushes. Under such circumstances, Paladin John explained to Lawrence what the purification just mentioned meant.

"Purification is generally only mastered by the clergy of various churches and those druids. This is actually a process of using one's own power to rescue and purify polluted souls and obtain feedback from the world—" John said earnestly for Lawrence Break it apart a little bit and explain it carefully.

He didn't wonder why Lawrence didn't know about these things, because there weren't many druids or priests who had the ability to purify, so that this matter was not widely spread even in the extraordinary world. Lawrence had never heard of such things It is also very normal. .

And Lawrence is a warlock, and the power of a warlock comes from blood. As a warlock himself, especially when his level is relatively low, it is already very good to be able to figure out how to release some magic and use them correctly. It is almost impossible to figure out what secrets are contained in one's own blood.

"So, you may have mastered this skill because the powerful creature that is the source of your power may be some kind of natural or sacred creature, so when encountering such a situation, it will naturally arouse a certain instinct." It took five Six minutes later, John finally explained to Lawrence what it was in this world that he absorbed the soul through the phantom of Bai Ze.

"In other words, this is not a taboo." Lawrence said in a relaxed tone. "I thought it was an evil act at first."

"Of course not, so you don't need to be nervous about this in the future." John smiled and said to Lawrence, "On the contrary, this is a very just thing and very meaningful. When releasing and saving those innocent souls, this The world will respond positively to you, too."

After discussing these topics about soul absorption and purification, the others also finished collecting the materials from the monsters they just defeated. After everything was sorted out, the whole team returned to the landing place together.

Everyone had smiles on their faces on the way back, because their team had gained a total of 127 points in the battle just now. Among them, 100 points came from the giant spider, and the other 27 points were the points given to the remaining 21 zombies after they were killed.

In addition, everyone gained a lot of materials related to the undead in the battle just now. At the same time, according to the information collected during the dissection of the spider, the Ratman Laka, who had spent a long time hanging around in various black markets, also recognized the species of the big spider they killed.

"We actually killed a puppet spider today." Laka widened her eyes and said, "This is an extremely rare variant of the sword-clawed spider. It only survived the radiation of a large amount of death power Only the sword claw hunting spider can mutate into an extremely rare puppet spider that can manipulate the puppet of the dead, so the materials collected from this guy are not cheap, and often have no market."

As she spoke, she took out two metal bottles the size of a stack of Coke cans from her space pocket. Through the finger-thick transparent glass inlaid on the bottle, Lawrence could see that more than half of the metal bottle was filled with gray smoky cocaine. Viscous liquid.

"What is this?" Lei Suo, who was carrying a big ax on his shoulder, first wiped off the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, then looked at the bottle and asked curiously. "I see that the two of you just surrounded that spider and those zombies with knives and saws, but after tossing for a long time, you made such a little thing?"

"Of course it's not the only one, big man." Cog, who was sitting on the shoulder of the mana robot, looked down at Lei Suo slightly, and then took out a cloth bag from his space bag. After opening, there was a slap in it. Long black fur and dozens of canine teeth that are two knuckles long.

"These are the trophies we just had," Cog explained. "For example, the teeth you see come from the mutated canines of those zombies, which gather the death breath of the zombies. It sounds evil, right? But after refining these things into medicinal materials, they can heal many injuries caused by the death breath intrusion and disease."

"And these black hairs are plucked from the spider's head, which has a very good magic power transmission effect, so it can be used to make soft rune pens. When drawing runes related to death or life, these pens can also be used for drawing Those who bring some magic bonus."

"Of course, those are just some small harvests. The real big harvest is these things in my jar." Laka shook the jar in his hand proudly, "This is the brain fluid of puppet spiders, which is relatively rare and One of the raw materials related to mental power. It can be used to make certain potions that gently stimulate mental power."

"Gentle stimulation—are you talking about those nerve tonics?" Lawrence frowned and asked Laka next to him after thinking for a few seconds. It costs 35 yuan, so most people will only prepare a few bottles when making key breakthroughs. Only a few outstanding members of certain organizations with particularly strong financial resources can use this thing as a consumable to assist cultivation.”

"Yes, the cerebrospinal fluid of the puppet spider is the main material of a nerve tonic with relatively good effects and few side effects. If there is any weakness of this medicine, it is expensive and difficult to buy."

Speaking of this, the Ratman Laka suddenly proposed: "So can we wait a little while when we share the spoils, I just know a Ratmen master alchemist, and I will ask him to make these materials into potions Finally, the five of us divided the finished products evenly after the processing fee was removed.”

This proposal immediately aroused everyone's interest, especially after a brief communication, Lawrence found out that the master alchemist Laka mentioned was Fatina's grandfather. So after returning to the camp and discussing for a while, everyone decided to hand over the needed spoils to Lawrence after leaving this space, and then he would bring them to the rat man alchemist. After the preparation of the potion is completed, it will be sent to everyone separately.

Of course, this is also a kind of trust that everyone has in Lawrence. Because his identity and previous actions are enough to make everyone who has just met him willing to believe him.

To be precise, among the five, Lawrence and Paladin John are beyond reproach in terms of reputation. Lawrence was chosen simply because it was easier for him to do it than John.

Then, when it was dawn, they went around and started looking for other monsters, but it was not until they walked a long distance that they found a group of steel-thorned wild boars in a small valley.

A group of people only got eight points after besieging and killing this small group of seven steel-thorned wild boars. Therefore, on the way back, after discussion, everyone decided to rest in this camp for a day and hunt in another place tomorrow.

When I went back, the sky was already dark, even if there was no sun in this place, the sky would still be divided into day and night just like the outside world. But now that the night is coming, the sky has slowly turned dark.

By the time we got back to the campsite, it was completely dark. So after a simple dinner of hot soup and dry food, everyone left the night watchman and went to bed.
