This Giant Dragon is So Powerful!-Chapter 71 - 70: Magic Crystal Ore
The cave in front of Udi was over a hundred meters deep, making it impossible to dig down in such a short time. Ultimately, Udi could only reluctantly give up and turned to search for other treasures.
A moment later, following his sense of smell and perception, Udi found a hidden warehouse, which was locked with a huge iron lock.
With one swipe, Udi knocked the door along with the lock off.
What appeared before his eyes was a large pile of ores inside the warehouse.
"This pile is Demon Iron Ore, and this pile is..."
Upon seeing the Demon Iron Ore, Udi wasn’t too surprised. After all, although Demon Iron is valuable, its value is quite ordinary before it is refined. A palm-sized refined piece of Demon Iron requires a human-sized volume of Demon Iron Ore to refine. Weapons crafted from refined Demon Iron can amplify the power and conduction speed efficiency of fighting qi and blood qi, making them extremely precious for those cultivating fighting qi and blood qi.
During the previous surprise attack, Udi noticed that the giant axe weapon used by the Wild Dwarf Rosa was crafted from a large amount of Demon Iron. Even though it was only of low quality, its value was still sky-high.
Udi shifted his gaze from the Demon Iron Ore to a pile of larger and smaller stones mixed with white crystals further inside. Upon feeling the dense Elemental Power emanating from them, his eyes lit up.
Magic Crystal Ore!
Judging from the sensed Elemental concentration, they should be Mid-Level Magic Crystal Ore.
Inferior, lower, middle, upper, and top, most magic gemstones, magic crystals, and magic metals are divided into these five levels, and the value difference between each level is a leap.
Right now, Udi’s Spatial Bag still contained about a hundred lower-level Magic Crystals, all acquired through trading with humans and the hard-earned money from months of hunting by Shiji and the others.
"This pile of Crystal Ore should be able to yield thousands of lower-level Magic Crystals from the Elemental concentration, and a few dozen Mid-Level Magic Crystals could probably be collected." Udi’s eyes sparkled as he took out a palm-sized grey Spatial Bag he had stored in his Reversed Scale, infused magic power, and put the entire pile of mid-level Crystal Ore inside.
The five cubic meters of space in the bag was immediately filled by this pile of Crystal Ore.
As for the remaining Demon Iron Ore, it was impossible to carry it all, not even with a few more bags of this size.
A somewhat regretful Udi directly picked up some Demon Iron Ore and stuffed it into his mouth.
The crunching and crisp chewing sounds were clear and distinct.
After tasting a few tons of Demon Iron Ore, Udi finally stopped.
Within his giant dragon’s smell perception range, a few hundred meters away, some creatures had intruded. This scent should be that of goblins.
Realizing that the monstrous army under the Black Dragon Maiden was coming to claim the spoils of victory, Udi hurried out of the warehouse, flew a distance into the back of the valley, and silently took to the skies, leaving for the Black Blood Valley.
As for whether the Black Dragon Maiden could successfully kill the master-level Wild Dwarf Caster?
Udi was still confident about this. A master-level Caster with nearly exhausted magic power, resorting to sacrificing his own life to distract the Black Dragon Maiden and let his tribe spread out and escape, how could he possibly survive from an adult Black Dragon with a special professional transformation?
The outcome was already destined, and Udi couldn’t be bothered to stay.
After all, even if he stayed, he wouldn’t get a single gold coin from the wealth, let alone sneak a peek at the lower-level Demon Iron Ore and Mid-Level Magic Crystal Ore, which were likely to exist.
Instead, staying might attract trouble because of the mid-level Magic Crystal Ore filling his Spatial Bag. Never underestimate the treasure-hunting ability and instinct of a dragon for treasures.
The scene shifted to another side.
Following the Any Gate, Leanna, who was pursuing the chase, looked at Slytherin on the opposite side. Still standing with an extremely calm face, Slytherin paused for a moment and then smiled,
"A wise choice."
"Dying under the claw of an adult Black Dragon who has trained in a special Monk profession, I find this result acceptable." Slytherin’s expression was complex as he looked at the humanoid form of the Queen of Darkness in front of him, with amazement and curiosity in his eyes, but there was no fear of death.
"But before I die, may I know what the name of the Monk profession you trained in is, Your Majesty Queen of Darkness? As an old man who has lived for hundreds of years, I have seen many professions, including many Monk professions, but I’ve never encountered one like yours." Slytherin asked curiously.
Originally, he wanted to ask how a lazy and gluttonous Black Dragon managed to train itself with such powerful spiritual energy like an ascetic, but then he thought about it - dragons are inherently peculiar, so one more Queen of Darkness wouldn’t make much difference.
Isn’t that playful Black Dragon also an Abnormal Black Dragon?
Thought of this, Slytherin felt quite annoyed. Even though there were many dragons, Tal Plane was not small, and when dispersed, dragons became rare.
But his Brown Forest Clan ended up befriending two dragons, both Abnormal Dragons, which was indeed a rare stroke of luck.
Abnormal Dragons do not only refer to those dragons with physical alterations but include those with unusual personalities, behaviors, or exceptionally special talents, such as Magic Addiction Dragons, Greedy Gluttonous Dragons, righteous and kind-hearted Evil Dragons, and so on.
On the surface, Udi could be considered the former, while Leanna would be the latter.
"Mountain Faithful." Leanna said indifferently, giving an answer as a token of appreciation for this little bug saving her some effort.
"This..." Slytherin tried hard to recall the origin of this profession, attempting to gather some information from his Wild Dwarf tribe’s heritage. Soon, his eyes widened in disbelief,
"Saint, Petrov..."
Before Slytherin could finish his words, his gaze darkened. A gaping blood hole streamed with blood and brain pulp appeared on his forehead.
With a wave of her hand, Leanna sent Slytherin’s corpse into the Spatial Bag.
This was a master-level Caster’s corpse, still very valuable, especially for the necromancy school mages.
However, Leanna did not plan to trade with necromancy school mages, as this guy knew a great deal of information about her.
She intended to use this master-level Caster’s body to experiment and research other functions and applications of spiritual energy.
Spiritual energy is an extraordinary energy born from the combination of spiritual strength and psychic power, possessing incredible power.
Such as creating fire out of thin air, generating ice, creation, life creation, flight, acceleration, moving objects, transformation, weather manipulation, and so on. Although spells can achieve these, they require specific learning for each spell, whereas spiritual energy does not. If developed well, spiritual energy could achieve virtually all spell effects.
The power of the mind is grand and vast.
Leanna intended to try experimenting with the spiritual energy effects, pondering whether she could use her spiritual energy to nurture a new conscious entity in the body.
....
Black Blood Valley.
Udi’s massive Dragon Body descended on the water pool clearing.
Shiji, Kadan, White Crane, and Mondo, had been waiting here for a long time.
Udi threw the Spatial Bag, from which he had removed his magic imprint, at Kadan, instructing, "There’s a pile of Mid-Level Magic Crystal Ore in it. You should quickly collect the Magic Crystals from the ore."
Collecting Magic Crystals from ore requires magic power. Physically breaking it can easily result in elemental loss from the Magic Crystals.
This is why the Magic Crystal Ores remain as ore because most Brown Forest Clan casters are few, and low-level casters collect very slowly, while noble middle-high-level or master-level casters would not possibly serve as labor for mining, resulting in slow efficiency and retention of such Crystal Ore batches.
Of course, this was Udi’s guess, but it was a very reasonable rationale.
