Rusty Lake.
No.23 Special Garbage Disposal Plant of the Federation.
Also known as the "Magical Equipment Graveyard".
With the continuous development of the cultivation civilization, the magical equipment that was once high and mighty and could only be used by cultivators had entered the homes of tens of thousands of families. It had become an essential tool for ordinary people to travel, study, and work.
While bringing convenience to life, it had also produced a large amount of scrap magical equipment and metal garbage.
Most of these scrap magical equipment had a lot of spiritual energy remaining, which could easily cause radiation pollution. The array glyphs used to construct the magical equipment were extremely unstable and even had the risk of explosion. If left alone, it would cause great damage to the environment.
Therefore, in the periphery of every major city of the Federation, there would always be several "Special Garbage Disposal Plants" set up to deal with scrap magical equipment.
No.23 Special Garbage Disposal Plant was located in the southern suburbs of Floating Spear City, an important cultivation town of the Federation.
Under the dim, yellow sky, there was a swamp that had been polluted into a purple color, emitting a strong stench. The mountain peaks made of metal scraps looked like the backs of hundreds of dinosaurs that had just emerged from the swamp. Broken flying swords were everywhere on the mountain peaks. Next to the flying swords sat rusty crystal puppets. The fire of spiritual energy in their empty eye sockets had long died out, leaving only bugs that fed on spiritual energy to extend their heads and carefully observe the "magical equipment graveyard" that was full of dangers.
"Boom!"
Not far away, inside a garbage mountain, the array glyphs of the scrap magical equipment were broken. The remaining spiritual energy within instantly exploded, blowing half of the mountain peak into the sky.
Countless metal components were scattered in all directions like the petals of a fairy, triggering the collapse of several garbage mountains in the surroundings. Smoke and dust filled the sky like dancing demons, covering the entire sky.
This place seemed to be a forbidden zone for life. Only the insignificant cockroaches and worms would treat this place as a paradise.
However...
Li Yao was hiding behind a garbage mountain. He licked his dry lips. His yellow windbreaker was full of dust, allowing him to blend into the environment.
Glancing at the exploding cloud that was rising not far away, the young man's clear eyes did not reveal the slightest emotion. He was completely calm.
Only when the dirt and metal fragments splashed onto the garbage mountain that he was hiding in did he slightly shrink into the depths of the garbage mountain. At the same time, he put on goggles that were enough to cover half of his face.
"It's coming!"
When the spirit watch on his wrist vibrated gently, the youth's spirit was aroused. The corner of his mouth hooked up into a slightly evil smile.
It was 3: 52: 38 in the afternoon. It was the time for the daily garbage dump. It was also the time for a "garbage bug" like Li Yao to celebrate!
The spirit watch on his left wrist was a special hunting model launched by the cultivation sect "Zephyr Sect" three years ago. After he picked it up in the garbage mountain, it took him a full two months to fix it.
In addition to timing, it also had a very powerful function. It could record vibrations at a special frequency and notify the owner when there was a specific vibration nearby.
This function was originally used to warn Hunters that there might be powerful Demon Beasts nearby.
After Li Yao's modification, it became a reminder that the garbage ship was about to appear.
A moment later, accompanied by an insignificant buzzing sound, a dozen black spots appeared on the northern horizon.
At this time, the smoke and dust brought by the explosion had yet to disperse. More than a dozen small black dots were mixed in, and it was impossible to distinguish them clearly.
Li Yao wrinkled his nose. His finger lightly touched a rune on the side of the goggles. "Swish!" The surface of the goggles was suffused with a blood-red color.
Under the scan of the red light, the garbage ship hidden behind the smoke and dust was outlined with a clear outline of a round figure.
The spirit watch's hunting function also firmly locked onto the special vibration frequency of one of the garbage ships.
"Garbage ship 1327, it's yours!"
From the time he was born to the age of ten, Li Yao had always stayed in the Artifact Graveyard for ten years. He knew every inch of the land and every garbage ship in the sky like the back of his hand. This "Garbage Ship No. 1327" was specifically responsible for collecting garbage from the "Upper Eastern District" of Floating Spear City.
The Upper East Side was the most luxurious and wealthy district in the city. There were many cultivators living there, and the artifacts they discarded were also the most valuable.
Many of the artifacts were even intact. It was only because they were slightly old, or because a new generation of products had been introduced that they were thrown away by the cultivators and the rich without care.
To Li Yao, this was not a garbage ship. It was simply a treasure ship loaded with gold!
"Whoosh!"
Li Yao exerted strength in his legs and shot out like a bullet. He madly dashed between the garbage mountains, rushing towards the smoke and dust, rushing towards the "Garbage ship 1327"!
All around him were crumbling garbage mountains. Below his feet was a bubbling poisonous swamp. Li Yao was like the most dexterous monkey in the mountain forest. From time to time, he would borrow strength from a certain protruding part of the garbage mountain. Every time he stepped on it, he would bounce dozens of meters away. His movements were as smooth as moving clouds and flowing water. It was pleasing to the eye.
"Li Yao, you bastard! You are stealing my food again!"
At this time, more than a dozen figures sprang out from behind several garbage mountains. They were dressed similarly to Li Yao, but they were not wearing the advanced blood-red goggles and spirit watches.
These people were holding shovels and iron rods in their hands. They were coming in a threatening manner.
They were the same as Li Yao. They were all scavengers who relied on the "No. 23 Special Garbage Disposal Plant" to make a living.
Where there was profit, there would be struggle. Ships of abandoned artifacts might be nothing more than garbage for the high and mighty cultivators, but for the poor people at the bottom, they were the hope of survival. Li Yao was the scavenger who had the best life in the Artifact Graveyard. Naturally, he was also the thorn in the eyes of the majority of scavengers.
Li Yao, however, did not care at all. He chuckled and suddenly exerted strength from his waist. His body twisted strangely and unexpectedly, without any warning, he made a ninety degree turn and dodged a fat teenager in front of him. He even took advantage of the situation and ruthlessly stomped on the fat teenager's face. Taking advantage of this stomp, his entire body dashed thirty to forty meters away.
"Fatty Dragon, we are all here to make a living. Who is faster? You should go on a diet!"
The fat teenager had a huge red mark on his face. His nose was about to sink into his fat. He was so angry that he screamed and commanded his subordinates to chase after Li Yao. The group of people soon entered the smoke and dust zone.
An explosion had just taken place here. It was extremely unstable. Several dozen garbage mountains could collapse at any time. Even the extremely vicious Fatty Dragon and his group of teenagers could not help but slow down their footsteps when they entered this place. They could only watch as Li Yao moved as fast as lightning.
Fatty Dragon could not help but spit.
"This son of a bitch. He is really famous for valuing money more than his life. If the heavens had eyes, they would have struck him to death with a lightning strike..."
Before his voice died away, a garbage mountain not far from Li Yao exploded once again. More than ten thousand tons of metal components and broken artifacts rushed down like a flash flood!
"So effective!" Fatty Dragon and the group of teenagers were dumbfounded. They were at a loss of what to do!
Suddenly, a scream echoed in the smoke and dust. "Little Black, help!"
A streak of blackness that was even deeper than the night sky darted out and circled in the metal flood. Then, it soared into the sky. It turned out to be a rusty, black flying sword with a chipped edge. The flying sword had an enormous handguard that opened like a pair of black wings. Li Yao leaned on the flying sword clumsily like a drowning man clutching a straw. Surrounded by blackness, he soared into the sky!
In the sky, more than ten garbage ships had revealed their enormous bodies. Every garbage ship was hundreds of meters long. Their round bodies were like the legendary tortoises that supported the earth. Thousands of runes had been carved on their 'tortoise shells', which were flashing with colorful brilliance, to help the big guys that weighed more than ten thousand tons resist the scourge of gravity.
"Huala!"
The cabin doors in the abdomens of the 'giant tortoises' were opened one after another. Overwhelming metal components and broken magical equipment flooded out and smashed the ground brutally.
For a moment, the spiritual energy in the entire area was stirred up crazily, setting off a stormy tide!
Even the garbage ships that weighed more than ten thousand tons were shaking violently in the tides of spiritual energy. They had to try their best to separate from each other to reduce the disturbance.
Fatty Dragon and the others didn't dare to approach, fearing that they would be affected.
Li Yao was still riding the black flying sword, dashing left and right in the tides of spiritual energy. Although he looked extremely embarrassed, he was as agile as a loach.
Of course, he didn't dare to confront the tides of spiritual energy head-on. However, with more than ten years of survival experience, he tried his best to find a safe area that was relatively calm between the tides of spiritual energy. He wanted to get as close to the landing point of the garbage magical equipment as possible.
Finally —
After nearly ten minutes of dumping, the garbage ships roared like beasts, turned around, and returned lazily. The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.
Fatty Dragon crawled into the center of the garbage dump with great difficulty. Then, he saw Li Yao sitting comfortably on a brand-new garbage mountain and looking at him with a smile.
"Damn it!" Fatty Dragon's face twitched, but his heart was quite tangled.
The garbage mountain Li Yao chose was quite clever. It wasn't the biggest garbage mountain, and it didn't look like the one with the most abundant materials.
There were also dozens of garbage mountains scattered in the surroundings, which contained invaluable garbage magical equipment.
And there were more than two groups of garbage worms...
If he continued to tangle with Li Yao here, maybe other garbage worms would take advantage of him.
Around him, other garbage worms appeared faintly. Many garbage mountains were filled with cheers, which meant that someone had found something valuable.
Not to mention...
Fatty Dragon heard that Li Yao was a student of the famous "Second Affiliated High School of the Crimson Nimbus Sect" in Floating Spear City.
The Crimson Nimbus Sect was a famous sect in the southern part of the Federation. It was tyrannical and had many experts.
Although Li Yao might not have learned any true teachings, he was still not someone who could be dealt with in a few punches and kicks. Otherwise, he would not have been able to roam the Magical Equipment Graveyard alone for more than ten years and still be alive and kicking, even earning himself the nickname "Vulture"!
But if he just left like this, where would he put his face? His nose was still embedded in his flesh!
While his heart was tangled, a gust of wind swept past. Fatty Dragon subconsciously reached out his hand. His hand was cold, but it was actually a fist-sized scrap crystal processor.
Li Yao said with a smile, "Fatty Dragon, we all came out to make a living. Last time, I snatched your" Starlight "class crystal processor. It's not like I killed your dad. Is there a need to fight to the death like this? Here, I just found a "Dragon 17" crystal processor refined by the Azure Dragon Sect. It is the most advanced model. It can calculate more than five thousand thoughts per second. Although it is burned, I estimate that it can be sold for three to four thousand RMB. Consider it my filial piety to you, Brother Fatty Dragon. From now on, we are even. How about it? "
"You …" Fatty Dragon did not expect that Li Yao would say such a thing. He was stunned for a moment. He scratched the fat on his face in disbelief.
"Hey, look over there. The people of the Wild Wolf Gang are almost here. They are not like me, a lone traveler. They will absolutely clean up the dozens of garbage mountains. They won't leave even a screw for you!" Li Yao pointed to the west.
Fatty Dragon's face changed. He narrowed his eyes and observed for a long time. Finally, he made up his mind. He gave Li Yao a thumbs up and squeezed out a sentence.
"Good boy, you have some tricks up your sleeve! Let's go. Hurry up and sweep the goods! "
The group of scavengers scattered and rushed to the garbage mountains in all directions.
"Huff …"
Li Yao let out a long sigh of relief. He sat his butt in the garbage. His forehead was dripping with sweat. His smiling face instantly turned into a crying face.
"Damn fatty, I found this" Dragon "class crystal processor with great difficulty, and now it's yours to take!"
"Just you wait. Do you think it's so easy to take the things of Vulture Li Yao? One day, I'll make you spit out what you've taken from me and return what you've taken from me with interest. I'll let you know why everybody calls me 'the Vulture who values money more than life'! "
"No, I have to speed up. Those bastards of the Wild Wolf Gang are even more unreasonable than Fatty Dragon!"
