Chapter 279 Dark Devil

The perspective is locked above Uluru.

This is a cave deep underground in the mountains between Yaocheng and Yancheng. After entering the specific underground scene, the original third-person oblique perspective becomes a horizontal perspective.

 The picture is dark, with only the three people of Uluru emitting a subtle light.

 In front of them was a T-shaped black quagmire, with a small puddle at the top and the bottom spreading to invisible depths underground.

 “Mr. Uluru, the black devil still cannot be collected.”

A pixel man holding a torch next to him said: "The black devil is heavy and slippery, and it seems like it can feel us. As long as we try to get close, it will seep underground."

Another caveman with a backpack also added: "It's very dangerous. There are legends about this underground black water. They come and go without a trace, can dig through walls, steal stored food, and leave a mess on the ground." of oil.”

Uluru's head appears to be a mess.

 He raised the writing pad in his hand and a dialog box popped up.

“Black black mud is born from the black devil. Many people in the Wuji tribe have seen the black devil, but if anyone tries to touch and collect them, the black devil will disappear without a trace.”

“I asked Lord Zelkuku of Uda City for advice, and he also said that the black devil itself has a special structure and likes hot areas. Usually the areas where the black devil appears are accompanied by fire wells, which is very dangerous.”

“You must be careful not to place torches close to the crack area to avoid fire from the fire well.”

 He warned his two assistants who were traveling with him.

Lu Yao clicked on the black devil in the depression.

 …

The black devil looks like a pool of black mud, but is essentially a living creature.

Because the black devil moves too fast underground, the current man-made tools and even the apostles of the Yao civilization cannot capture it. At best, it is possible to observe it like Uluru, but cannot obtain actual living samples.

If Lu Yao hadn't been able to check the backend encyclopedia, he would have been disappointed.

The black devils like warm and hot places and have a strong desire to feed. They are relatively primitive underground life forms and act based on instinct, so they only need to find ways to target their instinctive desires.

Lu Yao thought of a place to place the black devil.

　　【Aegir's Fire】.

 He handed over the capture task to Slimod and also tested the master's practical ability.

 After receiving the order, Slimod's incarnation quickly arrived at the scene.

Seeing the man in green suddenly appeared underground, the three people in Uluru all had exclamation marks on their heads and took a step back.

“Please don’t be nervous, I’m here to help you deal with the black devil.”

"First of all, thank you for your investigation and investment. Although the black devil is not aggressive, its characteristics dictate that corresponding methods must be used to make it obedient."

 “Let me try it now.”

 A large group of identical men in green arrived.

They have a clear division of labor. Some lead the sandworms to carry a large amount of supplies, some start to install the gas stove, some make marks on the ground, some survey the location, and some specialize in observing the situation of the black devil...

People in green clothes perform their duties like arms and fingers.

Uluru asked: "Who are you?"

 “Forgot to introduce myself.”

　　One of Slimod's body said to them: "This is the first time we meet. My name is Slimud, and I am the apostle of Lord Yao."

The three Uluru people were startled and quickly called the apostle.

 The Slimods were ready and began to capture.

 They put a large amount of rotten materials all the way to lure them, and with the help of fire and steam stoves to increase the temperature, they gradually attracted the black devil from its original position little by little.

The sandworms moved and dug in front, while the Slimolds pulled the black demon, slowly moving all the way from the underground, and finally reached the underground of Aegir's Fire.

 As soon as he got close to here, the black devil became excited. A large amount of black grease seeped out from the ground and poured into the ground, like a black fountain, with many bubbles emerging from the fountain.

Uluru, who was watching the whole process, had a light bulb on his head, as if he understood the key.

 “Everyone, my work is done.”

Slimold told them: "You have seen the method. Use the rotten matter that the Black Devil likes as bait, and then continue to increase the surrounding temperature, you can make the Black Devil move in this direction."

“It is a strange life. Apart from scavenging, it also likes high-temperature environments.”

“And the most suitable place for the black devil at present is naturally the volcanic wonder.”

 “The next thing is left to you, please pay attention to safety, thank you for your hard work.”

 After saying that, many people in green quickly left the scene and disappeared without a trace.

 The three people left behind looked at each other.

Lu Yao was very satisfied with Slimud’s action.

He not only imparted key experiences and methods to Uluru and others, but also did not let this group of discoverers lose their sense of participation. He did a good job of guiding and inspiring an apostle, and the whole process was efficient and concise.

Uluru launched follow-up research on the Dark Demon.

As the Wuji people’s safety clothing, the more black black mud the better. As more and more Wuji people appear on the ground, their demand for black black mud is increasing day by day.

However, the reserve excavation in Uda City has been unable to keep up with the growing daily needs of the Uji people. As a result, many Uji people want to go to the ground, but do not have the opportunities and conditions.

 There is finally a solution.

The black demon settled under the volcano and began to spit out large amounts of black mud.

As long as it devours rotten matter, the black devil will secrete black mud until it is partially saturated and falls into a short resting state. After recovery, the process continues again.

 The bottleneck that restricted the Uji people from traveling to other places was finally removed this time.

While Uluru was excited, thoughts popped up in her head.

“It turns out that black mud is the product of black devils removing impurities after eating food.”

“Since the black mud excreted by the black devil can be used, what about the oil?”

 After the black devil eats, it secretes black mud and also produces a lot of light yellow clear oil.

Uluru collected it and found that the oil was actually a higher-grade fuel that was better than coal. Just a little bit of oil could keep the flames going for a long time.

 The game interface is also displayed.

  【Magic oil was discovered in Uluru. 】

 Lu Yaoxin said that’s right.

I will give you a direction. It is up to you to choose how far you can go and what route you want to take.

 In fact, there is no record of magic oil in the Golden Fields Backstage Encyclopedia. After the discovery of Uluru, the entry on magic oil officially appeared, and the introduction and description completely reproduced the conclusions drawn from the Uluru experiment.

 This proves that the little pixel people are not only the experiencers of Yao civilization, but also the writers of world records.

 But what Lu Yao himself is most looking forward to is the [deep extraction] effect of the black devil.

 Judging from the description, this is a high-level refining ability.

 Yao civilization is currently developing in various fields. The breadth is sufficient, but the accuracy is still poor.

 High-precision technology and in-depth knowledge require long-term hard work and experimentation, and there is no point in rushing. I don’t know if [deep extraction] can shorten this process in some ways.

Lu Yao observed the pixel world.

 Not long after, just as he expected, the Yao tribe further developed the black demon.

 The refining and impurity removal of metals can be completed by the black devil - as long as you give it food and keep the surrounding temperature high enough.

The Black Devil will swallow up iron ingots and copper nuggets, and then spit them out quickly. Metal is not in its diet. The copper and iron extracted by the black devil are smaller, and a large number of impurities are stripped out, turning into a very pure metal.

This immediately attracted the dwarf hammer endless.

 As a skilled craftsman, a material purifier like Black Demon must be tried.

Chammer made a bold attempt and threw a set of Twin City Armor into the quagmire formed by the black demon. Not long after, the armor was spat out and scattered into pieces of copper.

The dwarf did not give up. He changed his approach and took apart the Twin Cities Armor, put it into the most basic parts, extracted them repeatedly, and then re-forged them into shapes and assembled them together...

 After repeated trials and busy work, a laughing expression appeared on the dwarf’s forehead: “It really works!”

 “What an amazing, incredible guy!”

 “From now on, we have the best refining master!”

 Zhui Wuwu held the refined Twin Cities Armor and danced happily with the armor.

 Lu Yao clicked on this set of armor.

 …

 【Two Cities Armor LV2】: Excellent armor that covers the whole body. After extraction and refinement, you will get 【Heavy Strike LV1】 after equipping it.

 Health: 480/480

 Defense +5

 …

Refining gives Twin City Armor +80 life and +2 defense, which is a big enhancement.

Lu Yao didn’t even expect that deep extraction could really strengthen equipment.

 He couldn't help but wonder in his mind, if he had dozens of fire props in his bag, could he do it?

Lu Yao found one and tried it, but the black devil swallowed it in one gulp and almost digested it. He quickly put it back into his inventory.

 One of the causes of the black devil includes fire props, which are a rare nutritional supplement for it.

 The plan to refine the fire props failed.

Not long after, the pixelated people of the Yao tribe dismantled the [Brass Furnace Dragon] and used black magic to extract and reshape the metal skeleton and torso parts. The name also became [Brass Furnace Dragon LV2]. The data has improved slightly.

Since then, black magic refining has gradually become a conventional processing method and is widely used in the manufacture of various props and devices.

Geologists and archaeologists are also paying attention to the traces of other black demons everywhere, and use the method taught by Slimod to gather them one by one under the fire of Aegir.

The black demons merge with each other, their levels are getting higher and higher, and their abilities are slowly increasing.

 …

 At this time, Lu Yao had already turned his attention to the outside world.

The world of the Yao people has entered a period of unprecedented rapid development. With the apostles in charge, there is no need to worry. The current focus is on creating an external environment for the external circulation of civilization.

 Lu Yao decided after repeated thinking to build a new pilot city in Yunzhong Temple as a bridge and link to the outside world.

Thank you: Wuyun Liangduo supports 10,000 starting coins, Mi Qunar supports 500 starting coins, Tao Shutong supports 400 starting coins, and a grumpy mute supports 100 starting coins.
