Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Chi Lian's reasonableness satisfied Zhou Xu.

During this period, Zhang Xuemei was working near the volcano. After receiving the news, she rushed over immediately.

Seeing the huge Chi Lian, the team headed by Zhang Xuemei was frightened and exclaimed.

During this process, Zhang Xuemei quickly calmed down again when she saw Zhou Xu standing there calmly.

However, I was still a little scared. After looking at Chi Lian for a few times, he quickly trotted all the way to Zhou Xu's side.

"Your Majesty, who is that giant python?"

"That's Chi Lian, the extraordinary creature I just conquered on this island."

After briefly explaining Chi Lian's identity, Zhou Xu quickly turned the topic to business.

"The fire crystal mineral vein should be in Chi Lian's lair. Send a group of people over to dig it up."

Speaking of this, Zhou Xu's voice paused.

"By the way, find another team of people, find a suitable place, and dig a new nest for Chi Lian."

Zhou Xu didn't forget about it, and immediately made arrangements for it.

During this period, Chi Lian also understood Zhou Xu's words, and it itself was not idle.

In fact, it is much more efficient than humans to dig a new nest by itself.

In this regard, it did not hesitate to use its own labor force. After the construction team found the location, it dug down quickly before the engineering team started work.

Zhou Xu smiled after learning the news.

"It's quite real."

There was no need to worry about it after that, so he just sent all the people back and concentrated the labor force to dig out the veins of the fire crystal stone.

Unlike when they were mining veins before, now they only need to dig down Chi Lian's cave. Even from the beginning, the tunnel was opened, which not only saved them trouble, but also saved a lot of effort.

The entire nest was quickly dug up. At that moment, Zhou Xu, who walked inside, could clearly feel the invisible flame energy forming a heat wave, constantly beating on his body.

"Good fellow, if this place is placed in a novel about cultivating immortals, wouldn't it be a paradise in heaven?"

Staying in a place like this to practice and improve your strength will get twice the result with half the effort, right?

With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu walked into the lair.

【Make a fire! 】

Zhou Xu really didn't expect that this move would come in handy so quickly.

With the light of the fire in his hand, he was dazzled by the scene in the lair.

At this moment, there was actually a large amount of fire crystals piled inside the lair, which could almost form a hill.

In addition, many fire crystals can also be seen on the surrounding walls.

The entire lair was filled with rich flame energy. Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xu felt that the mantra energy in his body was running a little faster.

This gave him the idea of ​​building a training room here.

On the contrary, Silk and the others, who also followed, couldn't help but frown.

During this period, some of the ordinary workers around him could not help but cough violently.

Zhou Xu, who heard the voice, looked back subconsciously.

The faces of the workers who were coughing were a bit dark red.

When Zhou Xu saw this, he made a prompt decision.

"Everyone, get out first!"

After the group exited the cave, Zhou Xu hurriedly checked on the conditions of several workers.

"Quick, get some water."

Seeing the water handed over by His Majesty, all the workers were flattered and thanked them one after another, but their voices were hoarse.

After drinking water and resting for a while, he calmed down and the dark red on his face slowly faded.

"What's going on?"

This situation made Zhou Xu frown.

After all, he himself had nothing to do, and he even thought that the cave was a geomantic treasure.

Silk, on the other hand, has a clue.

"It should be that the concentration of flame energy inside the cave is too high. Over time, it may cause damage to the body."

At this point, Silk's voice paused.

"In fact, let alone ordinary people, even I feel a bit of heat in my body after staying for a while. It's not just heat, it's the energy in the cave that is being sucked into my body and burning my body."

Hearing this, the other elf knights also nodded.

The strength of these elf knights has not yet reached the Hundred Refining Realm. The feeling is more obvious than Silk's, and the impact is undoubtedly greater.

After hearing this, Zhou Xu roughly had an idea.

[Could it be that the attributes are inconsistent? 】

[Silk and the others are obviously of the wind attribute, and all of them contain fire attribute energy. After being inhaled into the body, the energy of different attributes repel each other, causing a negative impact? 】

[But I don’t seem to have anything wrong with me...]

I don't know if his talent as an 'evolutionary leader' is at work, but Zhou Xu feels that his ability to adapt is particularly strong.

Take the mantra as an example. So far, there is no mantra that is inconsistent with him.

At the same time, in terms of attributes, the mantra in his body also has multiple attributes, and there is no rejection.

However, Zhou Xu also knew that he was in a special situation and could not be treated as normal.

The current situation undoubtedly put him in a bit of trouble.

If the rich flame energy will cause harm to the miners' health, then what about the mining of fire spar?

You can't leave it to Chi Lian, right?

It doesn’t seem impossible…

No matter what, Zhou Xu still planned to conduct some tests first.

So far, this is just their speculation after all. The details are still unclear and no conclusions can be drawn.

With this idea in mind, Zhou Xu found ten workers and asked them to go down together.

This is to facilitate comparison and avoid the influence of some individual differences.

Following Zhou Xu's instructions and some testing, the situation was roughly figured out.

Under normal circumstances, if an ordinary person in good health stays down there for a long time, at most he will feel that the environment is stuffy and his body will become hot. This is the same as staying outside to bask in the sun when the weather is 40 degrees.

Once you start working, the situation will begin to intensify with the physical exertion and physical fatigue.

The previous workers' faces turned dark red and even coughed because they had just finished digging the cave and were tired.

But after leaving the cave, drinking water, and resting for a while, it slowed down.

Among them, drinking water is a very important point.

During the test, Zhou Xu found that as long as he replenished water in time, this symptom could be relieved to a large extent, thus extending the working time of workers underground.

In other words, as long as workers are provided with drinking water and their work and rest times are arranged, the impact can be minimized.

Of course, because of this environmental impact, workers cannot work for a long time, so the efficiency of mining fire spar must be compromised, and there is no way around it.
