Chapter 372 Metals and Rare Earths? We Have Plenty!
After the Wanxiang Spirit Silkworm successfully helped the Five-Colored Gem Dragon Essence Curse, it quickly drilled into the bodies of the other two soul beasts.
They were a silver giant elephant and a steel snail, both of which were soul beasts with C+-B qualifications.
Soul beasts of this qualification are definitely considered to be in the middle and upper levels among the numerous soul beast populations.
"This curse of the Aratak tribe... is inextricably linked to the Wanxiang Spirit Silkworm."
Han Ning watched the little fat silkworm easily disintegrate the curse, and once again thought of the origin of the little fat silkworm.
It was obtained by Niya's father from the vicinity of the Queen's Temple.
It can be further inferred that the little fat silkworm must have some connection with the insect queen.
"The high priest of the Queen's Temple is a noble of Aratak... The insect queen is currently likely to have been taken in by the Aratak tribe. These newly emerged worms may be inspired by the queen?"
At this moment, Han Ning thought of the deformed worms that invaded the Wuling tribe, and the curse of the Steel Elephant tribe in front of him. Their abilities are actually related to the Wanxiang Spirit Silkworm.
Next, with the efforts of the Wanxiang Lingcan, all the cursed soul beasts on the scene were treated.
Han Ning and others were directly regarded as guests of honor by the Steel Elephant Tribe and were invited by Gangsas to a magnificently decorated mansion.
Gangsas signaled the waiter to serve tea to Han Ning and others, and then said respectfully:
"Please wait a moment, I have already informed the chief of our Steel Hoof Tribe. He is on his way back from the front line and will arrive soon."
Before the voice fell, heavy footsteps came from outside the door.
A big man with a shiny steel nose, at least 3.5 meters tall, and a face full of fatigue, walked in quickly from outside.
As this person entered, Han Ning's mental power instantly automatically went on alert, and his scalp swelled slightly. This is the warning action that mental power will make when facing an unprecedented powerful creature.
Not only Han Ning, but also Yin Yi, who followed him closely in the room, Dan Bing, who was lying on his shoulder, Fei Lin, who was standing behind him, and Huai Miao, who was held in his arms, all felt a sense of awe.
It was as if a prehistoric giant beast suddenly entered the area where ordinary animals lived. The sense of oppression at the level of life made everyone feel heavy in their hearts.
Han Ning and his soul beasts were like this, not to mention the other people at the scene. Lei Yue frowned, and the younger brother beside her even had beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Sorry, I just came back from the front line."
The steel elephant giant realized that something was wrong and smiled honestly.
The terrifying power just now disappeared immediately.
"It is worthy of being a powerful tribe that can be ranked in the top 5 of the continental group. Even the chief of one of the tribes is so powerful."
Han Ning estimated that the big man in front of him was a few points stronger than Xuan Hai of the deep sea tribe that day in terms of mental oppression.
You know, Xuanhai is the leader of the entire Deep Sea Clan, and his strength must be the best among all the heroes.
"I have heard the report of my subordinates about what happened in the tribe. Are you Han Ning from the Xia Clan? Oh, and Boboman from the Deep Sea Wangchao. Speaking of which... your father, I have met him several times before, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance to sit down and have a good drink."
The big man had thick black eyebrows, smooth white skin, and silver-white hair on his chin. Just sitting there, he gave people the illusion of a Viking pirate on the blue planet.
But the pair of pupils that were originally shining with divine light were indeed filled with a faint fatigue.
He is the chief of the Steel Hoof Tribe - Ganglong.
Steel Hoof is the name of the tribe, and Ganglong is his real name.
You can call him Chief Steel Hoof or Chief Steellong.
"Hello, Chief Steel Hoof."
Including the noble Boboman, everyone at the scene bowed down and saluted respectfully when they saw Chief Steel Hoof.
This is respect for a powerful beastmaster.
The top masters of the Barbarian Beast Tribe are also terrifying existences that can turn the world upside down.
As long as they want to stir up a storm, the whole world will definitely shake.
Once upon a time, the Grand Duke Ye Ming, who was difficult to compete with in Han Ning's eyes, was like a god in the eyes of everyone in the academy, and a person who was hard to compare with him. Compared with the Chieftain Steel Hoof in front of him, he was at least two levels weaker.
"Powerful Chieftain Steel Hoof, when my father was alive, he told me about your power..." Seeing that Gang Long took the initiative to greet him, Boboman flattered him very cleverly.
Gang Long hummed and said straight to the point:
"...Boboman, Han Ning, you came here in person, it shouldn't be just to sell potions, right? Is there anything else?"
"Chieftain Steel Long, we want to buy the right to use the Withered Desert from you..."
Han Ning briefly told Gang Long about the current situation of the Bobo family and the three-tribe alliance.
"Withered Desert... that place is barren. There is nothing but a few valuable mineral veins. Forget about buying it. Since you saved my people, I will give you this land as a thank you. However... the contract still needs to be signed."
"Then thank you, Chief Ganglong."
Han Ning was delighted and thanked him immediately.
After a pause, he pretended to be curious and asked, "Chief Ganglong, what is the current situation on the front line? As a friendly neighbor of the Steel Hoof Tribe, I feel we have an obligation to help you."
"Not good. A large number of our fellow tribesmen were injured and killed. The number of our Steel Elephant tribe is originally less than that of the Flame Pig. If this continues, the consequences are difficult to predict." Gang Long rubbed his eyebrows, his tone full of helplessness.
Although he is powerful, the Flame Pig on the opposite side is not much inferior. The high-level combat power is all deterrent and cannot be easily eliminated. Now, most of the lives consumed are the lives of the middle and low-level tribesmen.
Han Ning estimated in his heart that the war between the Steel Elephant and the Flame Pig is actually a battle between the middle and low-level beastmasters. If the beastmaster of one side has the upper hand and kills the other side without leaving a single piece of armor, the weaker side will sooner or later be unable to sit still and take the initiative to negotiate.
This is because once the high-level combat power of the two tribes fights, the entire Amethyst World will suffer a huge disaster. Most of the wars in the main world are fought by the middle and low-level beastmasters.
Only when the situation develops to a genocide war with the participation of the whole tribe like Wu Ling and Aratak, will it evolve into a situation where the combat power of different levels of both sides is used together, and they wish the other side to have no descendants.
Even so, the main battlefield of the high-level combat power of the two tribes is still not in the purple crystal world.
Steel elephants and flame pigs, with the mad lion watching, have not fallen to that level.
Han Ning continued to ask: "Chief Ganglong, forgive me for asking, in addition to controlling soul beasts to fight, what methods do the middle and low-level beastmasters in the Steel Elephant tribe use to defend themselves?"
"Of course, it's psychic weapons." Ganglong looked at Han Ning strangely and waved to Gangsas.
The latter understood and took out a crossbow-shaped thing from the soul storage, handed it to Han Ning, and explained: "Silver steel crossbow, first-level to third-level beastmasters generally use this for self-defense, which can produce about the destructive power of the general level."
"Use soul crystals of various attributes to charge. A general-level soul beast soul crystal can provide 300 shots. Each start-up requires a weak mental power."
As he said, Gangsas raised the silver-shining crossbow and shot at the body of a guarding soul beast at the door.
Buzz!
The silver-white energy crossbow arrow burst out at an astonishing speed, shooting directly into the abdomen of the guarding soul beast.
"Woohoo!"
The soul beast guarding the door patted it lightly, and the energy crossbow arrow instantly turned into a light spot and exploded.
"Not bad."
The destructive power of this crossbow is more sophisticated than the one Han Ning saw in the Wind Spirit Clan. It may be because Elena and her team have experienced many battles and lost too many sophisticated weapons, so they can only use primitive elemental flying blades.
"Your Excellency the Priest, you might as well use this."
Han Ning smiled mysteriously and took out a thing that looked like an RPG rocket launcher from the storage soul device he carried with him.
"This... what is this?"
The people of the Steel Elephant Clan and the two people of the Holy Crystal Clan looked at the large square tube on Han Ning's shoulder in confusion.
Only Boboman and Lin Tianhe and others showed a sweet smile on their faces.
"A spiritual weapon developed by our Xia country, with many features such as convenience, cheapness, and great power."
Han Ning cast his eyes on the steel-armored elephant guarding the door and asked, "Is it okay to test you again?"
This steel-armored elephant only has the strength of a lower-level lord. After all, the more powerful soul beasts are now all assigned to the front line of the battlefield.
"Woo!" The steel-armored elephant shook its tail, signaling him to come over.
"Okay, everyone, please watch." Han Ning pressed the switch on the rocket launcher to activate it, then aimed at the steel-armored elephant and pulled the trigger.
Boom boom boom! !
The thick white smoke vibrated, and a full 10 grenades, rubbing with sharp whistles, bombarded the steel-armored elephant.
Boom! !
The ground at the door of the mansion collapsed, and the smoke was filled.
An elephant covered with silver-white armor retreated more than ten steps and sat on the ground.
The silver-white armor was covered with burnt marks.
Although the attack of 10 rockets still did not cause substantial damage to the steel-armored elephant, it was at least dozens of times more powerful than the psychic crossbow used by Gangsass!
This was another result of the transformation of Dean Wu and his team using psychic energy and human thermal weapons.
The original RPG could only be loaded with one shell at a time, while the improved RPG could be loaded with 10 small shells with smaller caliber but stronger power at a time, which were accelerated by psychic energy and exerted amazing destructive power.
"Oh?"
After seeing the power of the RPG, everyone present showed an interested expression.
"Can ordinary beastmasters use it?" Gangsass raised his eyebrows, and was a little eager to try.
"Here." Han Ning handed him the rocket launcher, took out 10 shells as thick as three fingers, loaded them into the ammunition chamber at the rear of the rocket launcher, and explained, "Beastmaster? Even a weak newborn can use it, as long as they master the skills of using it." "Fill the ammunition, press the start switch, adjust the mode, and then press the trigger." Under Han Ning's command, Gangsas once again aimed the barrel at the poor steel armored elephant and pulled the trigger. Boom boom boom! ! The continuous rumbling sound echoed among the tribes. There were several more pits on the ground. "It's really awesome. It really doesn't require mental power or any spiritual energy. It's as simple as drinking water from a cup!" "And... its power is actually close to that of a high-level general, and it can have a certain impact on the lord's soul beast." Gangsas was excited. In just a few seconds, he fell in love with this rocket launcher.
At this time, the little loli Gang Kaier, who had been hiding in the corner with her eyes wide open, ran to Gang Long after seeing the power of the RPG rocket launcher, hugged the latter's thigh tightly, and shouted: "I want to play too, I want to play too, Grandpa, I want to play!" "Take it, take it." Gang Long was uncomfortable with the noise and winked at Gang Sas. "This..." Han Ning looked at the little loli who was about the same height as the rocket launcher, and for a moment he had an inexplicable feeling. "This is not the previous life..." He shook his head to dispel the inexplicable feeling in his mind and continued to explain, "Its psychic energy fluctuations are extremely small. You can also feel that there is almost no fluctuation when it is fired. When facing some special situations, this weapon with small psychic energy fluctuations can play a huge role." "In addition, it has an automatic tracking function. It can automatically lock the enemy and attack like mental locking. It does not need soul crystal charging, just fill the ammunition." "And it has an encryption function. If the enemy picks it up, there is no special encryption instruction and the firing system cannot be unlocked. In the hands of the enemy, they are just a pile of junk." Steel Kyle, with an excited face, imitated the adults, pressed the button and pulled the trigger. As a result... only bursts of shrill alarms were heard from the rocket launcher. "Why didn't it fire?" Steel Kyle blinked and looked at the hole curiously. "Because I didn't load the shells."
Han Ning smiled and touched her head, reminding her, "This weapon has a certain degree of lethality. Low-level beastmasters must be extremely cautious when using it, and be careful not to accidentally hurt their companions."
"No soul crystals, no mental power consumption, so what does it consume?" Gangsas was surprised.
"Shells, what is consumed is shells."
Han Ning took out a few shells and showed them to them.
"A shell is made of metal and some cheap materials, such as special soil, and the average cost is extremely low."
"Metal, special soil?"
Gang Long heard this and looked strange.
They don't have much else here, but there are too many mineral veins and rare earth resources to count!
"What is the cost of a launch weapon and 10 shells?" Gang Long was a little impatient.
"The weapon requires 1 general-level soul crystal, and the value of 10 shells is less than that of an awakening soul crystal."
In fact, the cost of an RPG rocket launcher is not even the value of an awakening-level soul crystal. At best, it is some special steel and electronic circuits.
Of course, the most expensive thing is knowledge!
"What?!"
When everyone heard the cost of the rocket launcher, they immediately became uneasy.
Even Leia, who was from the Saint Crystal Clan, showed great interest.
