Chapter 961 Gem Dragon Seed

The three of them stared at the cylinder motionlessly.

Normally, they should marvel at the wonders of nature before their eyes, and then walk forward like fools without any precautions, touching everywhere, and finally get in front of the cylinder.

But the three of them were not fools. This was clearly some kind of biological community trap. They might be attacked as soon as they stepped into the cave.

After all, from the perspective of Feng Shui, although this place is a treasure trove, it is also shrouded in foggy dangers.

Blaze knocked off a piece of stone with a pickaxe and threw it towards the cylinder in the stalactite cave.

The moment the stone approached the cylinder, the cylinder opened like a petal, caught the stone in a flash and then returned to its original shape.

"Did you see clearly what that was just now?" Blaze said.

"No, it happened too fast, and I didn't have time to identify it."

The ogre shook his head. His eyesight was OK, just enough to occasionally hit a bullet. Although he saw the attack clearly, the system's identification did not keep up. The moment the cylinder returned to its original state, the identification only showed [Stone Pillar].

"This should be some kind of very powerful self-protection mode. The hunting state and the self-protection state are two completely different life forms, just like the terrifying angels." The counterfeiter closed his eyes, his face full of memories.

"It's like a time-stopping or petrifying spell. It's really hard to use... If a person gets close to it, I'm afraid their head will be bitten."

Blaze looked at the pickaxe in his hand, passed it to his left hand, then held the pickaxe in his left hand, used [Thunder Throw], and threw the pickaxe at the cylinder.

The pickaxe was like a cannonball, and the splashing electric light scatters in the stalactite cave. The dazzling light makes the entire stalactite cave fall into some kind of crazy flickering light and shadow.

boom--

The entire pickaxe smashed directly into the cylinder, but the cylinder was completely unharmed, without even a trace of impact.

"How powerful." Blaze exclaimed. In nature, there are many creatures with super strong defenses, and these creatures have a very obvious weakness, which is that their internal parts are particularly fragile.

At this time, you just need to take out a bomb and throw it over lightly, wait for the cylinder to turn into a predator state and eat the bomb.

But here is the problem.

"Which of you brought the barrel of explosives?"

The ogre and the forger shook their heads. Although using explosives in a mine seemed quite normal, it was also a last resort. They already had the skills, so why use such a primitive and risky tool as explosives?

And even though the gem vein is said to be the corpse of a gem dragon, its structure is no different from that of an ordinary vein.

In gem mines, the most common task is to rescue miners trapped by mine collapse.

"...Generally speaking, there should be some solution hidden in the surrounding environment. It's a kind of balance, and also a kind of mutual promotion and restraint." The counterfeiter reached out and fumbled around, taking down some gem fragments from the wall.

The most abundant things in the entire gem mine are, of course, stones and gems.

The counterfeiter threw the gem fragments in his hand directly towards the cylinder, and the cylinder moved instantly like a fish attracted by bait, and took away the gem fragments in an instant. Unfortunately, the three people still failed to successfully identify the identity of the cylinder this time.

The counterfeiter frowned and tossed the gem fragments in his hand as if he was doing an experiment. After trying six times, the counterfeiter threw the gem fragments in his hand away.

Once again the cylinder captured the gemstone fragment, but this time the forger did not continue throwing.

"This is a special monster, [Mini Gem Dragon Seed], level 20. It is in its sleeping mode now, and will only wake up when food comes near."

"How did you identify it successfully?" Blazer was stunned and immediately thought of the several throws made by the forger.

I'm afraid the forger was calculating the time of the cylinder's movement and using the identification in advance after the calculation.

Identification only takes a moment, but it takes time for the user to issue the identification command and successfully release the identification.

This dragon, called Mini Gem Dragon Seed, was so fast that by the time we noticed it moving, its movement had already been completed and it had returned to its dormant state.

"Mini Gem Dragon Seeds... Does this mean that this thing is the offspring of a Gem Dragon, and that the legend of the Gem Dragon is true?" The ogre looked at the cylinders and licked his lips. He now wished he could gnaw on the ecological survey records one by one.

It sounds like a Gem Dragon is a very powerful species of dragon, and he couldn't help but get excited at the thought of gaining the Gem Dragon's transformed state.

"It may be true, but the name doesn't mean anything, and..." The counterfeiter looked at the content of the appraisal, thought about it, swallowed the rest of his words, and turned to discuss the solution.

"I don't think a bomb can destroy it. According to the appraisal, its sleeping body is one of the hardest materials in the world. Even an explosion cannot destroy its structure."

"But it is quite valuable. If it can be combined with another special rock material, it can grow into a new gemstone vein."

"Oh!!!" Blaze's eyes lit up. This was great news.

The biggest problem that [Hermes' Traveling Hat] is facing now is not that they have spent all their savings on something, but that they have consumed those savings as materials, and the total amount of gold coins in the world has been reduced.

Another reason why Hebie mentioned the gem mines was that she wanted to create a new currency - gem coins, and use the issuance of gem coins to fill the gap in the total amount of gold coins.

But the demand for gem coins is also very huge. It is impossible to make gem coins equal to 1000 gold coins. The maximum value can only be gold coins. Therefore, if you want to restore the original storage of [Hermes's Travel Hat], you will also need a very astonishing number of gem fragments.

Gem veins are public property among kingdoms. [Hermes's Traveling Hat] can only be rented, and mining gems is taxed according to the amount mined. On the contrary, individual mining only requires paying an entrance fee.

If [Hermes's Traveling Hat] could have its own gem mine, it could produce a large amount of gem coins, and the gem mine could also restore resources after a huge upheaval.

“It really is a cornucopia.”

Blaze rolled up his sleeves, determined to bring these mini gem dragon seeds back at all costs.

"Seeds, combined with special rock substances..." The ogre repeated this twice, and he gradually tasted something wrong.

"Fuck, this isn't it!?"
