Chapter 171 - Harvest! An Upgradable Mithril Cannon!
Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Harvest! An Upgradable Mithril Cannon!
All the troops began to attack the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet. They spread out to prevent the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet from launching an accurate attack.
Ren Qi, Li Tianlan, and the others also quickly spread out to prevent the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet from targeting them.
Luo Ming rode on a dark dragon and kept tapping on the compass in his hand.
The figure of the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet appeared on the compass and began to analyze its body condition.
A large amount of hellfire fell on the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet. The only advantage was that the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet’s body was very big, and it could hardly dodge the attack.
The hellfire continued to burn the puppet’s body, causing some of its machinery to melt.
However, the melting speed was extremely slow. To Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet, it could not cause much damage in a short period of time.
The Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet knew that Elise was its greatest threat, and it began to focus on attacking Elise.
This was also what Elise wanted.
After all, the attack of the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet was too powerful. If it were to land on someone else, it would cause a lot of casualties.
Elise had Risa to help her move, so the danger was not high.
The melting of a large amount of hellfire also caused the lightning on the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet to dissipate. It was unknown if it was short-circuited or to conserve energy.
Ten minutes later, Luo Ming’s tightly knitted brows relaxed, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
“Big Boss 77, I’ve found its core!”
Ren Qi raised his eyebrows, and then he went to the dark dragon where Luo Ming was, looking at the compass in his hand.
“Big Boss 77, it’s here! As long as you attack this place accurately, you’ll be able to find its core,” Luo Ming said, pointing at a certain part of the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet on the compass.
Ren Qi looked at the location that Luo Ming pointed at and was slightly stunned.
Crotch?
Then, without any hesitation, Ren Qi ordered all the attacks to go towards the crotch of this Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet.
Although this Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet didn’t have a gender, nor did it have any specific characteristics, and only had a bulge on it, it still felt a little strange.
A large number of attacks were directed in that direction, causing the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet to realize that its weak spot had been found.
It seemed to be getting impatient, its eyes glowing red, as two beams of light shot out, aiming for Elise.
Elise’s figure quickly disappeared, leaving behind a shadow.
Arriving below the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet, Elise gritted her teeth, and with her black sword in hand, she charged towards the puppet’s crotch.
Ding
The pitch-black sword landed on the bulging crotch of the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet, producing a crisp sound. However, it did not break as she had expected.
It was very hard!
This was probably the hardest part of the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet’s body.
After all, it was where the life gate was located, so it was natural for it to be this hard.
“Elise! Take the sword!”
Ren Qi pulled out his longsword, Winter Snow, and threw it with all his might. Winter Snow, which was emitting a cold light, drew a trajectory in the air and flew toward Elise.
Elise grabbed Winter Snow and moved quickly, dodging the attack of the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet. Then, she held Winter Snow longsword tightly with both hands.
Pitch-black hellfire began to climb on Winter Snow’s body, quickly covering its whole body.
Following that, Elise’s eyes were sharp as she gathered all the strength in her body, quickly heading towards the bottom of the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet once again.
The Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet sensed the danger and reached out to cover its crotch.
It was the very standard protective posture.
With both hands overlapping, the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet protected the hardest part of its body.
Meanwhile, Elise was pressing forward with an indomitable will. As her body continued to rise, her aura also became more and more intense.
At this moment, Ren Qi also took out an item.
The stone giant staff!
This was something Ren Qi had obtained previously. It contained the powerful magic power of the Giants.
Without any hesitation, Ren Qi used the second skill of the stone giant staff.
Giant transformation!
[ The stone giant’s stone staff can stimulate the potential of 10 units’ bodies, causing them to transform into giants. Their body size will double, their defense will double, their strength will double, and their speed will be reduced by one-third. (5/10)]
Although the stone giant’s stone staff did not specify how much strength it could increase a soldier’s strength, Ren Qi felt that it would definitely not be too high.
Therefore, he gave all the strength that could stimulate the potential of ten units of the body to Elise.
A ray of light quickly flashed out from the stone giant staff and directly entered Elise’s body.
Elise’s body instantly expanded and doubled in size. The aura on her body became extremely terrifying, as if she was about to break through to tier 9.
However, in the end, she was still unable to reach that tier.
Ren Qi noticed that the stone giant’s stone staff could only be used two more times.
[ The stone staff can stimulate the potential of 10 units of the body, causing them to transform into giants. Their body size will double, their defense will double, their strength will double, and their speed will be reduced by one-third. (2/10)]
As expected, the stone giant’s stone staff’s strength would be weakened when it was used on a Tier 9 soldier. After gathering 10 units of its strength and using it three times, Elise’s ‘strength would double.
At this moment, Elise’s defense and strength had both broken through the limits of Tier 9 and entered the Saint-tier.
As her speed decreased slightly, Elise held Winter Snow in her hand and directly stabbed forward.
The palm of the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet, was instantly shattered. Winter Snow, which was wrapped in hellfire, pierced through the hardest part of the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet.
This time, Winter Snow broke through, and the complicated mechanical patterns appeared in front of Elise.
Elise waved Winter Snow in her hands, and with a pull, she broke through the area.
A large number of complicated mechanical patterns appeared in the air, and amongst them, there was a huge crystal.
“Holy Stone! It’s a Mechanical Holy Stone!”
Luo Ming looked at the mechanical patterns on the crystal and exclaimed.
He had never expected that the core of this Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet was actually a Mechanical Holy Stone!
Ren Qi’s eyes revealed a bright light as he placed his palm on the silver leaf wind dragon armor on his body.
A look of joy appeared on Elise’s face as she reached out her hand to grab the exposed Mechanical Holy Stone.
At this time, a row of cannons extended out from the mechanical patterns beneath the stone, shooting out beams of light towards Elise.
Elise was caught off guard, and her body fell to the ground.
If not for the fact that the stone giant staff had doubled her defense, she would have been heavily injured.
She had been careless. The core was so important, how could the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet not be on guard.
The mechanical patterns on the body of the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet began to squirm, trying to bring the exposed Mechanical Holy Stone deep into its body.
At this moment, a silver trajectory suddenly rose, directly connecting to the position of the Mechanical Holy Stone.
Ren Qi’s figure instantly appeared beside the Mechanical Holy Stone. He grabbed the Mechanical Holy Stone and yanked it!
Ren Qi’s physical strength had already greatly improved after the long period of dual cultivation with Risa.
Ren Qi yanked the Mechanical Holy Stone with great force, causing it to break away from the mechanical patterns and land in Ren Qi’s hand.
The row of cannons quickly aimed at Ren Qi, and a powerful beam of light instantly shot out.
Ren Qi curled up his body and used the silver leaf wind dragon armor to take the attack head-on.
Under the impact, Ren Qi’s body quickly fell to the ground.
Boom
Ren Qi landed heavily on the ground. He rolled for a while, then opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
This was the result of his body’s improvement. If it had been his body at the beginning, he would have been severely injured.
TheTier-9 Giant Magic Puppet that had lost its Holy Stone was furious. It raised its foot and stomped down on Ren Qi.
From Ren Qi’s shadow, Risa’s arm stretched out and pulled Ren Qi into the shadow. He quickly disappeared.
The Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet went berserk, and began to attack indiscriminately.
Ren Qi, Li Tianlan, and the rest quickly ordered their troops to retreat, and only engage in long-range attacks.
Without the Holy Stone, the strength of theTier-9 Giant Magic Puppet was only at the ordinary Tier 9, and it did not have the same suppression as before.
Elise continued to attack. The winter snow in his hands left scars on the body of the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet, exposing a large number of mechanical patterns.
The pitch-black hellfire also invaded the body of the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet, incinerating a large number of mechanical patterns.
All the succubi, the five elemental thunder qilin, and the beautiful female warrior were aiming at the mechanical patterns on the body of the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet.
Li Linan’s Tier-8 dwarves also unleashed their powerful combat strength. One of them directly charged into the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet’s body and began to attack in all directions.
Under such circumstances, the lTier-9 Giant Magic Puppet’s body quickly collapsed and died!
Ren Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the fallen Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
This big fellow was really too difficult to deal with.
The remaining scattered magic puppets were also eliminated by Elise and the rest. All the troops began to reorganize themselves.
Soon after, the Succubus and the pretty young lady began to dissect the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet.
Its enormous body was the base of the magic puppet. There were a large number of energy crystals and magic crystals in it.
Normally, these energy crystals and magic crystals were stored in its body. When it came time to fight, these energy crystals and magic crystals would be converted into pure energy, providing theTier-9 Giant Magic Puppet with the ability to move and attack.
Moreover, this Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet had a large number of energy crystals and magic crystals stored in its body.
There were a total of 100,000 energy crystals, and there were also 2,000 magic crystals!
After all, the energy crystals and magic crystals were the source of the magic puppets’ energy, so they naturally collected a lot of them.
Ren Qi, Li Tianlan, and Li Linan didn’t use the rest of the magic puppets’ corpses. They were all left for Luo Ming so that he could turn them into materials.
Besides the energy crystals and magic crystals, the biggest harvest this time was still the mechanical saint stone.
Ren Qi looked at the Mechanical Holy Stone in his hand, his eyes slightly flickering.
This mechanical saint stone was very big, but it hadn’t reached the level of a Pure Holy Stone yet.
“I’ll give this mechanical saint stone to you. If it is integrated into your mechanical pure Saint Stone, it should be able to improve its effect a lot,” Ren Qi said as he handed the mechanical saint stone to Luo Ming.
Only Luo Ming could use this mechanical saint stone.
Luo Ming was stunned for a moment before saying, “Big Boss 77, this Mechanical Holy Stone is too precious. Why don’t you take it and sell it?”
Ren Qi raised his brows and said, “Just take it. No matter how many resources you get for selling a thing like a Holy Stone, it’s a loss!”
Luo Ming’s face was filled with gratitude as he took the mechanical saint stone, then, he said, “Big Boss 77 and Lord Li, since that’s the case, I don’t want the other resources. In addition, there’s a mithril mine here. When I mine it, I’ll send all of it to you.”
Li Tianlan nodded slightly. Although Holy Stones were more precious, this was a Mechanical Holy Stones after all. Only useful people could bring out the best effect.
At this moment, Cao Yixuan quickly flew over with a blueprint.
“Master, I found a construction blueprint in the body of the Tier-9 Giant Magic Puppet.”
Cao Yixuan handed the blueprint to Luo Ming.
Luo Ming took a look, and then handed the construction blueprint to Ren Qi with a face full of joy.
“Big Brother 77, quickly take a look. This is the construction blueprint of a Tier 9 mithril cannon, and it can be upgraded!”
Ren Qi raised his eyebrows, took the blueprint and looked at it, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
[ Mithril Cannon Construction Blueprint ]
[ Tier: 9]
[ Effects: Can be used to build a Tier 9 mithril cannon. Use 1,000 energy crystals to shoot light beams. Possesses tier 9 power. ]
[ Construction requirements: Requires 10,000 units of mithril, 30,000 units of fine iron, 5,000 units of stone, and 3,000 units of wood. Also, requires at least a tier 8 blacksmith master to build it. ]
[ Special: Can be upgraded. Using upgraded materials, the tier 9 mithril cannon can be upgraded to a mithril cannon that can release the power of a half-step saint-tier cannon. The highest can be upgraded to a saint-tier mithril cannon! ]
A Tier-9 mithril cannon could release a Tier-9 attack after it was built.
Moreover, it could also be upgraded with upgraded materials to reach the power of a half-step Saint-tier!
What a good thing!
Although the Glazed Light Cannon in his territory had the same attack power, it could not be upgraded.
Although using double the energy crystals could help it reach the attack power of a half-step Saint-tier, it could not have the power of the Saint tier.
And this mithril cannon could be upgraded to the Saint tier!
Most importantly, this mithril cannon only consumed 1,000 energy crystals, which was much less than the Glazed Light Cannon.
However, the construction conditions were a bit harsh. It required at least an eighth-rank blacksmith master.
Ren Qi’s gaze fell on Li Linan.
Looking at the big-chested girl in front of him, Ren Qi asked, “Do you have an eighth-rank blacksmith master in your territory?”
“Yes, why?” Li Linan looked at Ren Qi and asked.
Ren Qi handed the blueprint of the mithril cannon to Li Linan.
“This is the blueprint of the mithril cannon. It requires an eighth-tier master forger to be able to forge it. Later, have Luo Ming deliver the mithril resources to you. You will be in charge of forging it.”
“After the forging is completed, I will first give it to you and Li Tianlan’s territory, followed by Luo Ming and me.”
During this operation, he had obtained a small piece of Dark Holy Stone, while Luo Ming had obtained a Mechanical Holy Stone. Only Li Tianlan and Li Linan had to contend with energy crystals and magic crystals.
Therefore, after the mithril cannon was built, he had to give priority to the two of them.
Li Linan looked at the blueprint of the mithril cannon in her hand, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face.
After becoming familiar with the dwarf uncle, she also knew the value of the blueprint in her hand.
Soon, the few of them distributed the energy crystals and magic crystal resources and prepared to return.
After all, the sun had already set. After the black fog mutated, no one knew if there would be other dangers in the black fog during night.
When they returned to He Jinguang’s territory, He Jinguang had already decomposed all the black-horned rhinoceroses’ demonic meat and delivered it to Ren Qi’s territory.
As for himself, he had only left half of the demonic meat.
After the previous battle, along with Ren Qi’s military branch, He Jinguang had already guessed Ren Qi’s identity.
“Big Brother 77, add me as a friend,” He Jinguang looked at Ren Qi and said while licking his lips.
Ren Qi looked at He Jinguang and nodded.
This guy knew how to adapt to the situation and was not bad.
“If you lack any materials to repair the territory, you can tell me. I will sell it to you at a price 20% lower than the market price,” Ren Qi looked at He Jinguang and said.
He Jinguang said excitedly, “Thank you, Big Brother 77. Don’t worry. From now on, I will be your follower. From now on, I will be your subordinate territory.”
Ren Qi did not expect He Jinguang to be so excited, but he did not refuse.
As long as he was here as an eye.
After a brief chat, Ren Qi, Li Tianlan, and Li Linan returned to the succubus territory.
Before dark, Ren Qi, Li Tianlan, and Li Linan returned to the succubus territory.
After distributing the black-horned demonic rhino’s meat and materials, Li Tianlan led Li Linan to the five elements teleportation array and left.
Ren Qi also asked the succubi to repair themselves while Maggie and the others began to treat the injured succubi.
Ren Qi took out the Dark Holy Stone and went to the warehouse, fusing it into the Dark Pure Holy Stone.
The amount of energy that the Dark Pure Holy Stone could transform had increased by quite a bit.
If he could find some more Dark Holy Stones and fuse them into the Dark Pure Holy Stone, he would be able to increase the conversion efficiency of this Dark Pure Holy Stone to 100% .
Overall, he had gained more than he had paid for this expedition.
...
Within the territory of the Black Flood Dragon tribe, Shi Kongshen and Yong Jingfeng were currently waiting.
Yong Jingfeng had a humbled expression on his face. He bent his body and was almost about to crawl to the ground.
On the other hand, Shi Kongshen had an ugly expression on his face. The coldness in his eyes became even denser.
Looking at the black flood dragon who was looking at him arrogantly, Shi Kongshen said coldly, “Ao Xing! Don’t go too far!”
