of course, the little rabbit could not only detect.
it could also dig holes!
it was both a treasure-hunting beast and a hunter.
very quickly, after an hour of work, three walnut-sized earth element ores were dug out from the ground.
after a preliminary evaluation of its size and purity, it should be more than enough to sell for 1000 gold coins.
!!
however, after some deliberation and calculation, bai wushang opened his mouth and warned, ”
“milky way, if we encounter another small piece, unless it’s of the lightning element, we don’t want it anymore.”
” in the same amount of time, it’s obvious that you’ll earn more by hunting wild beasts, and it’ll consume less of your energy. it’s not worth it to collect just one or two pieces! ”
“grumble! ji gu!”
the little rabbit understood and nodded like pounding garlic.
……
the night passed by in the blink of an eye.
the little rabbit was mainly responsible for reconnaissance and excavating the small ores in the shallow layers that were easy to obtain.
as for ah zhou, other than protecting bai wushang, he had also indirectly transformed into a ” miner ” and ” mining ape. ”
this was a novel experience for it. its palms were extremely powerful, and it had a strong body that was seven meters tall.
it could easily crush rocks and move tons of soil.
in addition, the [ darkness destruction ball ] was also a very good explosive bullet. after the cold contraction, he could use it to speed up the digging.
as for xiao ci, she didn’t really show her face.
it was only sent out to fight a group of more troublesome bacteria cave salamander.
in the end, they obtained a total of 12 jin of mountain pattern stone, 3 jin of black quartz, 2 jin of earth elemental ore, half a jin of fire elemental ore, half a jin of wood elemental ore, and 1 fist-sized thunder elemental ore.
in addition to the various extraordinary materials, the total profit exceeded 40000 gold coins.
after deducting the talismans, potions, and other consumables, as well as the daily meals of the man and three beasts, he had a net profit of 25000 gold coins.
“if things go smoothly, i should be able to save two to three hundred thousand in two weeks?”
bai wushang didn’t feel too happy. he had gradually come to terms with reality.
for a master, the benefits of making money grew with the increase in level.
however, the corresponding expenditure could never be ignored.
this was especially true for the ancient lightning blade mantis, which was waiting to be fed day in and day out. the pressure was really huge.
after careful calculation, if this money was converted into lightning attribute resources, it would only be enough for a month and a half of its nutritious meals.
he might not even be able to last a month and a half after he advanced to the middle stage.
want to escape poverty and make a fortune? for the time being, he didn’t want to think about it. he had to double his efforts.
the next day.
after being busy for half a day, the little rabbit was dizzy and went back into the pocket on bai wushang’s waist to sleep.
ah zhou was slightly better. ever since he had advanced to the middle stage of the mature form, his recovery ability and physical strength had increased.
as long as he did not continuously go all out, he could last extremely long in ordinary activities.
after a slight rest, he recovered his spirit.
bai wushang visualized the appearance of the lightning scorpion in his mind and officially activated the last second-order item-seeking compass.
the familiar feeling surged up again.
however, this time, his sea of consciousness was empty. not a single green dot had appeared.
this meant that the lightning scorpion species did not exist in the area around bai wushang or even hundreds of meters underground.
“there’s nothing nearby. let’s change directions.”
“roar!” ah zhou nodded.
their current location should be more than a thousand meters underground, but they still had not reached the depth that their predecessors had dug.
however, bai wushang didn’t want to get to the bottom of it.
his main focus was to find the lightning scorpions, collect the ores, and hunt the monsters.
he turned around and entered another tunnel.
bai wushang’s footsteps were hurried, and he slightly quickened his pace, fully alert.
in the next three days, it was the most important thing.
in theory, if even the item seeking compass could not find the lightning scorpion, it was either his luck was extremely bad or there was really nothing left.
fortunately, his expectations did not fall short.
five hours later, a green dot of light appeared.
“ha, as expected!”
bai wushang heaved a sigh of relief and calmed down.
looking around, it was pitch black and there was no danger for the time being.
following the sea of consciousness, he walked to the spot of light.
roughly calculating, this lightning scorpion was more than 70 meters below its feet. it was in a static state and did not move.
the distance was not too deep.
however, if ah zhou were to dig it up, efficiency would be a problem.
the other party wasn’t a dead object. once it sensed danger, it would definitely escape.
the lightning scorpion was an extraordinary creature. its pre-evolution form was ” electric armor scorpion “, which was a 7-star mortal bone level.
after the natural evolution, the quality of the bloodline would be guaranteed to be at least 2 stars of the elite level, and even more at 3 stars of the elite level.
apart from the rare thunder attribute, its combat style was more towards the warrior type.
high defense, high explosive power, and pretty good individual ability.
only the lightning scorpions were naturally timid and relatively cautious.
it would not easily fight with other monsters and was used to hiding in silence.
only when there was no other way would he go all out in exchange for a chance of survival.
bai wushang was certain that if ah zhou were to jump around in this area, the other party would definitely be alerted.
the most important function of the fine hair on the surface of the lightning scorpion’s body was to sense vibrations.
it was a small probability that he would continue to stay dormant.
there was a high chance that it would choose to distance itself and change its hiding place.
“ah zhou, help me keep an eye.”
bai wushang instructed, then took out one item after another from his storage ring.
the first was insect repellant scale powder, beast repellant stinking sac, and other similar items. spraying them around the passage could effectively reduce the probability of wild beasts approaching.
next, a bottle of ‘high-concentration aromatic luring water’, a’ five-fragrance vine’, a ‘fishing net launcher’, a’ ice ball’, and a ‘water storage bead’.
these items were all auxiliary items used to capture the lightning scorpions. bai wushang spent 16000 gold coins to buy them all.
in fact, just in case.
he also spent some extra money to buy a few fragile items repeatedly in case he needed them.
bai wushang was going to make a simple temptation trap according to the knowledge he had learned to attract the thunder scorpion to come out of the ground.
only then would ah zhou and xiao ci have the chance to attack, severely injure the other party, and then capture him alive.
“let’s start!”
bai wushang began to act in an orderly manner.
the first step was to bury the five spice vine in the soil.
lightning scorpions were similar to regular scorpions in that they did not have developed hearing, but their sense of smell was extremely sensitive.
its diet included plant roots, and five spice vine was one of its favorite staple foods.
this was the core ” bait ” that needed to be set up first.
the second step was to bury the ice ball and the water storage bead next to the five fragrance vine.
these two were both special precious artifacts. they didn’t need to be bound by blood, and were instead activated by external forces.
they were used to restrict the lightning scorpions ‘movements.
this was to prevent the other party from being too cautious and drilling into the ground at the first encounter, unwilling to participate in the battle.
as long as they were slightly affected by the power of the ice, it would not be so easy to escape.
on the third step, bai wushang took out a large leaking pot and poured nearly ten liters of clear water into it.
after that, he poured in a high concentration of seduction potion and mixed it with a few herbs. the real seduction potion was complete.
“gululu gulu”
bai wushang slowly poured the baiting potion into the soil near the five fragrance vine.
the ground gradually became damp, and a faint fragrance filled the air, refreshing one’s heart.
