Return from the second dimension

For the monks of Lou Cheng, there was no such thing as a welcome home, much less a banquet.

Knowing the situation of the Ancient Land of Chaos, the Lou City monks were eager to start exploring immediately.

The enthusiasm was so high that there was no need for any deliberate mobilization.

A feeling of lethargy and slackness would never appear on the Lou Cheng cultivators, or else it would be the most perfunctory thing to do.

With a tireless physique and a cleansed mind, the monks were always in the midst of their efforts.

To the urgent thoughts of the building city monks, these peak gods at the level of the revered lords were sure to be satisfied.

In the next few moments, a servant monk was in charge of guiding the way, leading the building city monks to the nearby mines.

According to the Servant Friar's description, there were several large mines nearby, all of which belonged to the Lou City Friars.

There were also some small mines that belonged to some indigenous races.

They were not as strong as the Lou Cheng cultivators, but among the tribes, there were also the most powerful people at the Zuni level.

They had formed an alliance with each other, and their strength should not be underestimated.

In order to prevent unnecessary casualties, the Lou Cheng monks did not take the initiative to attack, but rather acquiesced to the existence of these tribal races.

"However, these guys were not grateful, but instead assembled into an alliance to oppose us overtly and covertly.

It is said that behind these tribes, there are some larger organizations of monks backing them up, specifically against the building city monks.

If you are in the middle of nowhere and encounter a monk from one of these tribes, you should try to avoid any encounter.

But if you do, don't be merciful, if you don't give them a taste of your own medicine, you'll really think that the Lou Cheng cultivators are easy targets."

The super-powerful man spoke here in a very cold tone, as if he had a great deal of hatred.

Although they belonged to the same indigenous race of the Original Extreme Realm, they hated each other because of their different positions.

In fact, the small tribes in the forbidden land only hated the building city cultivators for stealing resources, but they never cared about their regional origins.

The Original Extreme Realm is too large, with countless large and small races fighting each other.

In this particular environment, there was not much difference between the outsiders and the local monks.

What this super-powerful man said was all from experience, and the building city monks would naturally take it to heart.

If they encountered a similar situation, it would be easier for them to react and deal with it in a faster manner with the communication they were having right now.

After two battle losses, the number of remaining Building City monks who were transferred from the hunting camp was no more than ten thousand.

That may sound like a lot, but when compared to the indigenous monks, they are clearly at a disadvantage.

Fortunately, the quality of the Lou Cheng cultivators was extremely high, and even though they did not have an advantage in numbers, they all possessed one-to-ten skills.

With just one technique, they could defeat thousands of enemies who had no hands or brains.

If a battle were to be fought, the ten thousands of Lou Cheng monks would dare to face the attacks of hundreds of thousands of enemies.

It didn't take long for the monks to arrive at the mine.

They saw a turquoise blue color, mixed with hints of brilliant colors, looking like a huge gemstone deposit.

On the top of this huge crystal, there are a number of holes, which are obviously artificially excavated.

In these dense holes, from time to time, one could see servant monks going in and out of the crystal.

If it were a mundane place, this kind of mining scene would be perfectly normal.

However, it was very surprising to see the same scene in the forbidden mines.

If one understands the characteristics of crystals, one would know that such an operation is normal, because spell attacks simply cannot damage crystals.

One had to do it oneself and use a specially refined instrument to break such crystals.

The monks were forced to keep excavating the rule-developed crystals in this way.

There were also some monks who tried to unearth the crystalline ore through puppets, but the results were not satisfactory.

The only reason is that this kind of special crystal ore has different blocks of crystals inside, with completely different patterns and seams.

It was tight and solid, with no gaps in the whole body.

The monks had to make a detailed analysis and judgment based on the scene before finding a way to excavate it.

Although the puppet also had this kind of spiritual intelligence, it was affected in its operation and would often have serious malfunctions.

The most troublesome point is that these puppets are easily controlled by the remnants of the ancient creatures' minds, which can attack the monks by surprise.

Puppets controlled by residual thoughts become extremely tough and can easily cause serious damage to monks.

It is precisely because of these drawbacks that the use of puppets had to be abandoned and the monks themselves had to discover them.

However, being in the crystal mine, the monks are more susceptible to the attacks of residual thoughts.

They must be vigilant in the process of excavation, and must leave the site as soon as abnormalities appear.

In addition, there are all kinds of monsters inside ancient crystal mines, some of which are purely flesh and blood, while others are leftover thoughts.

The seemingly simple mining operation is far more complicated and difficult than one might imagine, and the slightest mistake could lead to an accident.

The expectant building city monks finally became truly vigilant.

Just because they were safe, they should not forget that they were in the middle of a forbidden area and that danger was still everywhere.

If you were careless, you could lose your life at any time.

Soon, a monk taught a technique that could be practiced silently while mining, which was effective against residual mind attacks.

They also taught the method of refining tools, so that they could make tools suitable for their own use.

If a Lou Cheng monk is not good at this, he can use his battle skills in exchange for them, but the quality will vary.

When everything was ready, the monks could look for an area and begin the long excavation.

It all depends on luck as to when the remains are found.

Once they had something, they could then exchange it for battle credits, the price of which was determined by the quality.

If you're lucky, it's not impossible for a Lou Cheng monk to get rich overnight.

Such rules are fair enough, as everything depends on luck and strength.

As soon as everything was settled, the building city monks moved immediately, spreading out over the huge crystal mine.

At intervals, they were occupied by a Lou Cheng cultivator.

They followed the newly learned refining method and the free bone fragment of an ancient creature to refine their own exclusive mining tools.

Although it was given away for free, the price was not cheap, and was considered a benefit for the building city monks.

The color of the bone fragment was crystal clear like jade, and the size was not very large, only the size of a baby's fist.

Under special refinement techniques, the bone fragments of this ancient creature would soon turn into a softened form that could be kneaded.

Without a matching refining technique, it would be absolutely difficult to refine the ancient creature bone fragments.

The new arrivals in Lou Cheng were all new to the remains of ancient creatures, and were inevitably curious.

It's just that the ancient creature bone fragments in their hands have undergone special treatment and are not harmful in any way.

No matter how they observed, it was impossible to gain anything.

In the end, the required mining equipment had to be made according to the alchemy technique, along with other refining materials.

The size of the bone is too small, and it can only be used to make a pickaxe tip, or a blade that resembles clamped steel.

If there are enough materials, they can be upgraded later, which will allow for more efficient mining.
