Chapter 279: The Snake Monkeys’ Perfect Technology

On the other side, the Extraordinary lizard warriors dropped some spoils of war after death too.

For example, their magic rune armor provided a better defense than full-defense physical armor could when there was sufficient magic power.

The two magic rune javelins that the Extraordinary Rank-6 Commander Tyrant Lizard used had the ability to cause explosions after hitting the target!

The magic equipment could totally be the target of fusion sometime!

“How is it going?”

This wasn’t the only battlefield.

On the other hand, the Snake Monkeys’ settlement had been occupied too.

Apart from the Ruan brothers, who volunteered for the task, Ji Ye had also specifically deployed Li Qing, who was best at reconnaissance, and Zhao Yun, who had the invincibility talent.

Even though the Snake Monkeys had self-destructive arrangements similar to the Tyrant Lizards’ magic arrays, they could not resist such a combination.

“Those Snake Monkeys were rather sordid.”

“They set up a lot of trigger landmines around their settlement core!”

“On the other hand, they deployed sensitive traps that would release powerful neurotoxins upon detecting intruders. There was even an Extraordinary Rank-6 Commander hiding there!”

“However, everybody from our fort was immune to the poisons thanks to the upgraded Red Pip. That Commander chose the wrong target and attacked General Zhao, only to be killed by one counterattack!”

Li Qing’s voice came to Ji Ye’s ears via the walkie-talkie.

“OK. Did you find anything after destroying the Snake Monkeys’ settlement?”

“We found a designing paper for a Tide Fire Oil Refining Device. It’s a technology that can refine Fire Oil from the seawater.”

“Fire Oil? Seawater?”

“Yes, it’s similar to our gunpowder in nature but has the elements of nitroglycerin. It’s not as powerful as modern gunpowder, but it can be mixed with a regular material in the Snake Monkeys’ settlement into a solid powder keg!”

Li Qing sounded rather excited.

He had every reason to feel excited. The Twin Dragon Mount Fort had always wanted to develop hot weapons so that ordinary people could directly wield Extraordinary power.

Due to the lack of gunpowder, such weapons could never be manufactured. However, with the technology to refine Fire Oil from seawater and the military files of Ameagle in the SkyNet core that they bought from the City of Humans, it would be possible for the settlement to establish a modern army!

“On the other hand, the Snake Monsters have a bunch of machines that can be powered by Fire Oil in their settlement. I don’t know much about machines, so a professional has to examine them for us,” Li Qing said in the end.

Ji Ye nodded and said, “Okay, keep searching and marking the locations of all resources!

“In an hour at best, the Twin Dragon Island will be connected to this island. We’ll send professionals to evaluate them!”

It was absolutely unsurprising that they defeated the Snake Monkeys and lizards.

What attracted him most was not the number of Stones of Civilization or Souls of Civilization the two alien groups, which didn’t even accomplish the Ten-Species Competition quest, could provide, but the special resources that the Twin Dragon Island might find on this island.

Based on the aerial observation via the Mirage Cloud Mirror earlier, this island was as big as the Twin Dragon Island.

But unlike the Twin Dragon Island which was full of the vibe of life, this island was rather desolate.

A lot of places didn’t even have any plantations. They were empty and seemed to have been overly-exploited.

The lizards and the Snake Monkeys must’ve abandoned the Extraordinary resources in the alien settlements they destroyed and transformed the resources into their power of providence!

While marking the black-and-red rocks that he painted earlier as “Black Red Minerals”, Ji Ye thought to himself.

The settlement core could not only summon personnel and regenerate resources but also “recollect” the Extraordinary spoils of war from other settlements and turn them into the settlement’s power of providence!

The Twin Dragon Mount fort had learned the ability after defeating the Soul race.

However, apart from dealing with the alien bodies that were inedible, the Twin Dragon Mount fort had hardly used this ability.

It was mostly because the Twin Dragon Mount fort secured consecutive victories in the Battlefield of Providence, and few people died in battle. They were never short of the power of providence.

However, the cases for the lizards and the Snake Monkeys were different.

It was undoubtedly necessary to transform all resources available into combat ability when they were faced with strong foes.

As a result, the resources on this island were much scarcer than those on the Twin Dragon Island.

The good thing was that there were still some unusual resources.

“Elder Jiao, come and take a look at the Snake Monkeys’ machines...”

“There’s a magic crystal mine here... Is Ninth Uncle here? Let him take a look. After all, both Daoists and Mages focus on the training of mental power!”

“A rare pitaya vine... Ask Doctor An to come here...”

[Pitaya Vine]

[Level: Extraordinary]

[Rarity: Excellent (Rare)]

[Description: This is an amazing fruit produced from the rocks where a lot of fiery dragons had dripped their blood on. It can increase one’s outburst power and briefly increase any dragon bloodline creature!]

“Well, it tastes acrid and spicy. Its power can reach your lungs easily.

“The fruits of such a vine should be able to be made into powerful medications that can help people overcome their bottleneck!”

With the help of an assistant who had a master’s degree in botany, An Daoquan cut off a part of the vine and carefully examined its taste.

Even the bodies of the Tyrant Lizards that had been squashed by Li Yuanba were dismembered by a player who used to be a forensic doctor to look for possible medical elements!

“Their scales can stop the pain, dredge the vessels, and increase your inner strength...”

As an Excellent hero, An Daoquan naturally had his own talent. He could tell the function of a material by tasting it.

“I’ll study those materials carefully and try to match them with the herbs you brought out of the Battlefield of Providence, Master, to create a few medications that can improve everyone’s strength and level!” declared An Daoquan confidently.

Not just the natives, the “chiefs” among the players had found some good stuff on the island too!

“You! Why couldn’t you go easy on them when you attacked?

“They’re ruined! It’s such a waste!”

With Guo Wei and a few other people, Elder Jiao regretfully gazed at some of the machines in the Snake Monkeys’ settlement that had been destroyed!

Those Snake Monkeys must’ve lived in an environment similar to Earth, so their civilization was a lot similar to that of Earth.

Therefore, the machines found in the Snake Monkeys’ settlement were approximately the level of those at the end of the 19th century on Earth.

Although they were different from human machines and weren’t very efficient, they could be modified into some massive equipment so that the Twin Dragon Island could really embark on modern industrialization!

Also, there were items named magic crystals that were similar to soul jade in nature. They could store and unleash magic energy.

They were very useful too, because the magic slate that Ji Ye found from the old Lizard Mage had to be powered by magic crystals.

“Speaking of which, we devoted a lot of energy and Civilization Coins, but we’re still far away from modernization.

“Now, we’ve only destroyed a mere Extraordinary Rank-4 settlement of the Snake Monkeys, yet we have already started the first step of industrialization...

“It’s true that farming isn’t as effective as fighting and plundering on the Land of Inheritance!”

Ji Ye shook his head and remarked.

“Huh? I’ve found a destroyed settlement of human beings on this land!”

At this moment, Qin Yueyu’s voice of surprise came to the ears of Ji Ye and the others via the walkie-talkie.
