Bankruptcy beast.

Jiang Chen did not tell Li Yang and the Wind Patrol about his thoughts, and Li Yang and the Wind Patrol seemed to have their own concerns. The three of them were staring at the mechanical wreckage in front of them in a daze.

"Ahem... Patrol Wind Envoy, do you think these stones are the raw materials for making the Sky-Opening Cone?"

Jiang Chen broke the silence first, picked up a piece of ore and asked.

Relying on his senses, he could be sure that the activated Heaven-shaking Cone was not far away, so these ores were most likely the raw materials of the Heaven-shaking Cone.

If that were the case, he would have to destroy this place for both public and private reasons.

"Ethereal Stone, one of the main materials for making the Sky-Opening Cone."

The Wind Patrol nodded confidently and said, "This should be just the outskirts of the mining area. There may be more mining sites inside."

"In that case, let's keep moving forward."

Jiang Chen made the decision without any hesitation. Finding the Kaitian Cone and the source of raw materials were both part of their plan. It would be best to kill two birds with one stone now.

As for who is behind this and what impact it will have after it is exposed, we can only take it one step at a time.

Li Yang and the patrol envoy looked at each other and neither raised any objections.

Now that the discovery has been made, we should naturally investigate it thoroughly.

The three of them continued to move forward, and as for the remains of the mechanical pet spirits, Nine-barreled Shadow Beast would naturally stay behind to deal with them.

By the way, after dealing with the wreckage, these shadow beasts will need to stay and mine some ore to bring back.

Since the main materials of Kaitian Cone are these ores, perhaps they can also be used to help activate the stone gate.

If that's the case, even if the effect is a little worse, it's still pretty good.

But now they still have to hurry up and find other mechanical pets.

The mine is very deep and the terrain is quite complex. Although the light emitted by the ore itself does not prevent the area from being completely without vision, it is still quite troublesome to move around.

If there were no traces of mechanical elves' activities remaining on the ground, they would have been reduced to headless flies.

House seemingly endless rain.

Before they had walked far, the three of them came to a fork in the road, and there were signs of mechanical pet spirit activities on all three forks in the road.

"Red Center, Nine Tubes, can you find anything?"

Jiang Chen frowned slightly and immediately sent out Hongzhong and Jiutong.

However, not long after the two pets released their clones and shadow beasts into the mine, they lost contact with their clones.

Unable to determine the situation within the three forks in the road, it meant that if they wanted to continue exploring, they had to split up.

But separating in this unknown environment is obviously a bit risky.

"It seems that the ore reserves here have also increased, to the point where they can interfere with mental power."

The Wind Patrol sensed it briefly and said, "Except for a few special attributes such as the space attribute, the other attributes will probably be greatly reduced."

Jiang Chen was silent. So far, he only knew one way to destroy the Kaitian Cone, and that was to smash it with pure physical attacks.

As for other attribute attacks, they will be absorbed by the Kaitian Cone and become the energy that attracts the small world.

Even air vibrations such as sound will be absorbed by the ethereal stone, affecting the propagation of sound.

Now that I think about it, the 'silent' nature of the Silent Snow Mountain might be caused by the Void Stone.

The space system will not be absorbed, but it will also not be able to destroy the Kaitian Cone. It can only ensure that its combat effectiveness will not be affected.

And these characteristics are almost all bestowed by the ethereal stone.

In other words, when fighting in an environment full of ethereal ores, the combat effectiveness of most pet spirits will be weakened.

But there is one kind of pet spirit that will not be affected.

Mechanical Engineering.

"No wonder they chose to use mechanical pet spirits to mine the ethereal stone mines. This not only ensures mining efficiency, but also eliminates the worry of having their combat effectiveness suppressed."

Jiang Chen smacked his lips. If Fa Cai had not taken the path of body refining and the laws he was using were all special, he might not have been able to defeat those mechanical pet spirits so easily just now.

As for the remaining red ones...

Although Hongzhong has embarked on a new path, it is still mainly based on elemental attributes and will inevitably be affected.

The shadow attribute of Jiutong has been affected, and the soul system has also been weakened a bit, but it is only in terms of perception, and the battle should still be no problem.

On the contrary, the combat effectiveness of Blank, who had already begun the transformation, and Dongfeng, who was called Telekinesis but was actually Sword Controlling, was not affected much.

In general, Jiang Chen's combat power was almost intact, but the other two...

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not at the point where I need to be taken care of."

The patrol officer snorted coldly and walked into the passage on the left first.

"I'll go first. If I find the activated Sky-Opening Cone, I'll come find you."

After saying this, the patrol officer left without looking back.

"Then I'll go this way."

Li Yang pointed to the darkest right side and said, "The Dark-Striped Snow Leopard has a Shadow Realm projection. It can exert stronger power in this environment. Even if the Void Spirit Stone weakens it, the impact will not be significant."

"...Well, be careful."

Jiang Chen thought about it for a moment and agreed with Li Yang's opinion.

But after Li Yang's figure completely disappeared in the darkness, Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly became deep.

"Jiu Tong, can you avoid being discovered by him?"

rustling...

Jiu Tong nodded slightly, and his body suddenly sank into the shadow, and he quietly entered Li Yang's shadow along the darkness of the cave.

This place blocks mental power, and it is easy to lose contact by relying on shadow beasts to track, and there is also the risk of being discovered by the dark-marked snow leopard.

But if it is changed to Nine-tube, it will be much better, at least the control contract will not be affected so easily.

The most important thing is that even if encountering a crisis, Jiutong can hide in the manor as soon as possible.

"I hope it was just my misunderstanding before."

After confirming that the connection with the Nine Tubes was very stable, Jiang Chen walked towards the cave in the middle.

Compared with the other two forks, the middle one appears wider, and traces of mining can be vaguely seen on the rock wall.

Obviously, these are mines dug by mechanical pets, and they should have been developed not long ago.

This is somewhat different from the cave outside.

"Did we accidentally discover the Void Stone Mine, or were the caves outside dug out from the mine?"

Jiang Chen held the nightmare time tightly and stared ahead cautiously.

The ethereal stones on the surface of the rock wall have been almost mined out, and there is almost no light. Only the golden light emitted by the Thirty-Three Heavens Xuanhuang Tower can ensure that they will not hit the wall.

As for the technological lighting methods... they can be used, but the more than half a month of travel in the wilderness had exhausted the power of all the electronic devices that Jiang Chen had, and then he encountered a lot of messy things, so there was no time to replenish them.

However, using the fairy light from the thirty-three heavens to light a lamp is probably something only Jiang Chen could do.

But the effect is really good.

The mine should have been pitch black, with neither light nor sound able to travel, but the area around Jiang Chen was unusually bright.

If not for this, Jiang Chen would really think that he had fallen into some soul-based game.

The complexity of the mine was beyond Jiang Chen's imagination. Jiang Chen walked for a long time but couldn't see the end, and he couldn't help feeling tired.

Walking in a dark environment for too long will cause great pressure on the mind. This has nothing to do with the level of mental strength, it is simply a test of will.

“Can anyone really survive in this environment?”

Thinking that this place might have once been a shelter, Jiang Chen felt even more sad about the dark life of mankind in the early Dawn Calendar.

At the same time, there is even more indignation towards the Avalanche organization.

Although our ancestors have already experienced such a dark era, some people are still moving closer to the enemies of humanity.

As expected, no matter in which world or era, there will always be "traitors".

Da da!

At this moment, Fa Cai suddenly sent a warning.

Just ahead on the road, Fa Cai sensed the presence of a large amount of metal.

And the metals are moving fast.

"Mechanical pets... little ones, come to life!"

Jiang Chen waved his fist, leaving only Fa Cai by his side to protect him, and signaled the other pets to move freely.

Although there is a limit on the number of Void Stones, it still does not prevent them from bullying weak players in the Red Zone.

After all, judging from the current environment, these mechanical pets are more inclined towards the industrial type of mining.

Sure enough, not long after the pet spirits were preparing for battle, a team of mechanical pet spirits appeared in front of Jiang Chen and others.

However, unlike the mining troops that Jiang Chen had expected, the other side was fully armed and a true combat type!

"It seems that the previous battle has exposed it..."

Jiang Chen was speechless. He was so careful along the way, but it turned out that the other party knew he was coming.

It was also his fault for being too careless. He was only busy thinking about the origin of the mechanical pet spirit, but forgot that in addition to possessing intelligence, the mechanical pet spirit was also an intelligent machine that combined the crystallization of current technology.

Simply put, they can communicate remotely regardless of distance.

"In that case, there is no need to keep a low profile."

Jiang Chen twisted his neck, and the red medium pet spirit immediately understood and rushed forward at the same time.

Because ranged skills would be affected, Hongzhong simply gave up on all the fancy skills and chose melee combat.

Regardless of whether it is the water Qilin formed by the condensation of Hunyuan True Water or the ice Qilin formed by the condensation of Xuanming True Water, they both possess great advantages in close combat.

Wherever the two unicorns passed, the mechanical pets were either smashed into pieces or completely silenced and frozen into pieces.

As for the blank board, it is even easier. Although the toxin has a poor effect on mechanical pet spirits, and the Desolate Sky Poison Body can corrode metal shells, its efficiency is average.

But with the Demon-Destroying Soul-Devouring Curse and the Lifeless Quicksand, Bai Ban could dismantle those mechanical pet spirits almost without moving.

As for Dongfeng... emmm, this kid was actually very open in the dark. When he saw anything approaching, he would smash it with a telekinetic fist. His efficiency was even higher than that of Hongzhong and Baiban.

"Does this mean that I have to act in secret from now on?"

Jiang Chen twitched the corner of his mouth and led the pet spirits to push forward, while the mechanical pet spirit troops also gathered in an endless stream.

Jiang Chen expressed his satisfaction with this.

We were originally unsure of the enemy's location, but now we can at least lock onto the mechanical unit's base.

As for whether it is a trap...

Jiang Chen turned a corner, and the darkness around him suddenly dissipated, replaced by a huge, brightly lit void and...

An ancient altar burning with green flames!
