Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 180 Ancient Dragon Vine and Thunderstone

The five of them were immediately overjoyed!

This is wonderful!

At this moment, the hearts of people on the entire plain were in turmoil.

Bai Yang and his six companions easily broke away from the group and began to act independently.

They flew with all their might toward the chosen Thunderstone area, arriving at their destination 3 hours and 40 minutes later.

"At a depth of about 800 meters below, there are Thunderstones. There are a total of 128926 Thunderstones within a 20-kilometer radius," Babata's voice echoed in Luo Feng's mind.

"There might be more in the surrounding area, but we need to investigate carefully. I can only investigate a 20-kilometer radius right now."

"128926?" Luo Feng's eyes lit up, his pupils becoming slightly bloodshot.

The Tier 5 Force Weapon "Heavenly Fire Wheel" can be redeemed for only 100,000!

In other words, any thunderstone found within a 20-kilometer radius is enough to exchange for a treasure.

How could everyone not be excited?

Bai Yang immediately said, "Quantity doesn't matter! The key is size, the smaller the better!"

The kind that can be put directly into a compass!

128926 stars!

Using the cloud-patterned vines, they grabbed the thunderstones with extraordinary speed.

"It will take quite a while to collect these thunderstones," Thor remarked.

"We have the Cloud Vine, so it's faster. If we rely solely on martial artists to find it, even with a mentalist..."

"But burrowing underground is troublesome; it's estimated that it would take thousands of people to catch up with the speed of a single Moyun Vine," Luo Feng laughed.

As a plant, the roots of the creeping vine are naturally adept at penetrating the soil, and because they are very fine, they can penetrate the ground very quickly.

If it were a human, given the solidity of the soil and rocks within the boundary, it would indeed take a very long time.

Soon, Moyun Teng dug up hundreds of stones and saw that all the Thunderstones were about the same size.

Bai Yang immediately said, "Luo Feng, try it with your blade!"

Luo Feng took out the "Fragment of the Crimson Copper Mother" and cleaved it down instantly at one of the pieces!

It instantly shattered the entire Thunderstone into dust!

It worked!

Everyone was on tenterhooks, their hearts pounding with tension. This was really bad!

Bai Yang picked up a piece of gravel of suitable size and put it into the compass.

Sure enough, the pointer immediately began to swing and point downwards.

Having experienced the Cosmic Crystal, everyone understood its meaning.

As soon as the nearby thunderstone is dug up, the compass will immediately point to the next target!

The pointer is the best prompting for them!

They don't need to waste time looking for Thunderstone; they can just dig it up!

Everyone has the same map, so how can we determine which area has more Thunderstones?

Just observe which direction the pointer stays in the longest!

This efficiency is many times higher than that of others.

Bai Yang watched as Mo Yunteng busied himself with various tasks, while the others actually had nothing to do.

Suddenly, he said, "This is still too slow! At this rate, wouldn't it take more than two hours to dig this place out?"

"There's nothing we can do about it; we're definitely not as efficient as helping plants do this kind of work."

Thor was also somewhat helpless.

Even Hong's cloud-piercing vine was helping, but they themselves couldn't really do much.

After a moment of contemplation, dozens of long golden vines suddenly emerged from Bai Yang's sleeves and began to dig into the ground.

The three were greatly surprised and asked, "Third brother, is this your auxiliary plant?"

How come we've never seen this before?

Actually, these aren't any kind of auxiliary plants at all; they're clearly the dragons and snakes on his body!

However, after consuming the seeds of several auxiliary plants, Bai Yang was able to mimic some of their characteristics.

He had the dragon and snake disguise themselves and then joined in.

"This thing is called Ancient Dragon Vine, and it's a new variety of auxiliary plant that I cultivated myself."

Bai Yang wasn't lying; he did indeed have similar plans.

We plan to combine the advantages of various auxiliary plants to popularize this benefit.

Thor's eyes lit up!

He had long envied both Hong and Luo Feng for having Moyun Vine.

Unexpectedly, the third child can now breed on his own!

"This is easy to grow, right? Can I have one too?"

Bai Yang shook his head:

"This is a prototype. It's not finished yet; I'll get it done later."

We'll let you experience it as soon as possible.

Thor knew that Bai Yang's words meant that things would most likely be resolved in the future.

He can just wait.

In terms of strength, the dragon and snake can also be considered as a star level.

It seems far inferior to Mo Yun Teng's current strength at the fourth level of the Hengxing stage.

But it has one advantage!

That means it has 72!

However, the current Moyun vine only has 36 main vines!

With their addition, the entire squad's speed more than doubled!

After all, besides the main vine, the cloud vine also has a large number of branching vines, which can also play a role.

After less than an hour of hard work, they had dug out all the surrounding stones and quickly moved on to the next location.

The area where the Thunderstone is scattered covers a radius of nearly 100 kilometers, with two places where it is relatively concentrated.

After Bai Yang and his team finished mining 128926 stones,

Soon another storage site was discovered, containing nearly 16 units.

As for those places with fewer than 50,000 units, they found them along the way and abandoned them for the sake of efficiency.

They simply marked the area on the map and focused on finding large areas with more than 100,000 units.

This area is very far from the core area. Bai Yang and his group flew continuously from daytime until late at night before arriving here.

Meanwhile, the other 10,000-plus adventurers mostly began their search quickly in areas closer to the core.

The difference in their choices resulted in Bai Yang and his group being undisturbed for the time being, while their gains were hundreds or thousands of times greater than those of others!

"Our total number of Thunderstones is now..." Luo Feng smiled and said, "396201."

"Damn, nearly 400,000?" Thor's eyes widened.

"We've made a fortune just from this one area," Hong laughed.

The six people flew through the sky, laughing as they went, unable to contain their joy.

They quickly arrived at their new location, before anyone else had even arrived!

They booked the entire area for themselves!

Therefore, the excavation can be completed before the main force arrives!

That army of 200 million has no effect on them for the time being!

They seized the most precious half-day before the main army arrived!

Throughout the following day, they continued to spot those people in various locations.

They knew this digging operation had to come to a temporary halt; it was time to redeem some items.

Inside a cave, six people sat together.

The inventory was being carried out in a cheerful atmosphere, and Bai Yang concluded by saying:

"We've mined nearly 230 million Thunderstones so far!"

"Hahahahaha!"

When Thor heard the number, he burst into maniacal laughter.

The others were laughing too, but none of them were as exaggerated as him.

No. 9 Life Fruit (three), 80 Thunderstones each

No. 32 D6-level railguns (three), each costing 21 Thunderstones.

No. 68, a Tier 5 Force Weapon, the Heavenly Fire Wheel (one piece), each containing 100,000 Thunderstones.

Star Guardian circled the key points on the exchange list and projected them onto the ground.

What are you all planning to exchange for?

"This time the Thunderstones are plentiful," Bai Yang inquired.
