Wu Mayan and Li Yao observed the scenery quietly. A moment later, Wu Mayan said in a low voice, "Beautiful, isn't it? But only six major cities in the six tribes of Iron Plateau boast such beautiful sceneries.
"The six major cities are built on six enormous ruins. Many resources and techniques from before the apocalypse can be excavated in the ruins. They are also protected by high walls. Demon beasts cannot invade the cities.
"But the small towns and villages outside of the six major cities are often scourged by demon beasts. Every time an egg of apocalypse matures and explodes, a town will be completely destroyed!
"Therefore, the development level of the civilization in the small towns and villages is uneven. Some places are even hundreds of years behind Furious Bears City.
"But there is no other way. We cannot gather everyone in Furious Bears City. If we do, the resources in Furious Bears City will be far from enough. There are also a lot of farmlands and mines scattered on the desert!
"These places are not bad. Furious Bears City will send a lot of qi-trainers to protect the ordinary people there.
"On the other side of Iron Plateau, there is a large Dark Continent."
Li Yao raised his eyebrow, indicating that he was confused.
"The Dark Continent is the half of the planet that was hit by the meteors when the apocalypse happened years ago," Wu Mayan explained. "It is not hard to imagine that it was the place that suffered the greatest damage. Perhaps all the shelters were destroyed in the blink of an eye.
"Over the past thousands of years, the six tribes of Iron Plateau have been thriving and expanding. The expansion on this half of the continent has already reached its limits. We are unable to establish towns in the Dark Continent.
"We sent many exploration teams to the Dark Continent, too. It is a desolate world that has been completely destroyed by the apocalypse. There are no cities, no towns, and demon beasts roam everywhere.
"It is said that human beings live there, too, but they have no rules or morals. It is a cruel society where the strong prey on the weak. Many survivors have even turned into primitive barbarians who are no different from animals.
"The greatest wish of the qi-trainers is to develop and expand. One day, we will expand to the Dark Continent and rescue our compatriots there!"
The young man's face, which was still young, was full of determination.
While they were talking, the True Qi train slowed down. They had arrived at a new station.
It was a factory area. The air was filled with the smell of metal.
"We're here. Let's go! "
With the apocalypse approaching, all the factories in Furious Bears City were working at full capacity to produce more war machines.
The munitions factory was even more overloaded. True energy rumbled, molten steel splashed everywhere, and coarse curses and the sound of steel colliding rose and fell one after another. Even the air was scorching hot as if it was about to burn.
Li Yao observed the qi-trainers' magical equipment factory with the professional eyes of a refiner.
There were already some prototypes of magical equipment assembly lines here. However, everything was in a very primitive stage, and the level of automation was not high. A large number of steelmaking workers and blacksmiths were sweating profusely at their posts.
The metallurgy of Iron Plateau was much lower than that of the outside world. Many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were mixed with too many impurities and were barely usable.
Although Li Yao had distinguished himself in the Skyhill Sword Seminar, he was not omnipotent. Modern magical equipment refining techniques were all-encompassing. Metal smelting alone contained hundreds of thousands of techniques. It was impossible for Li Yao to learn every one of them.
He made a rough calculation and concluded that, considering the metallurgy of Iron Plateau... Even if he were to do it in person, it would be impossible for him to produce the necessary components to maintain the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit in several months.
The crystal reactor, in particular, required dozens of special alloys and special Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. It was impossible for him to produce them with the facilities here.
Li Yao sighed and put the maintenance of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit behind his head for now. He focused his attention on studying the magical equipment here.
Wu Mayan was Xiong Wuji's foster son and one of the most distinguished young geniuses in Furious Bears City. He seemed to be quite familiar with the manager of the munitions factory.
A fat qi-trainer soon led the two of them to the magical equipment warehouse attached to the munitions factory.
"Just now, Xiong Wuji told us that this brother fought two Emperor Sand Scorpions to save you yesterday. What a tough guy! Xiong Wuji also said that this brother could choose whatever weapon or magical equipment he wanted and put it on his tab! "
The manager said with a smile.
When magical equipment was mentioned, Li Yao did not hesitate at all. Without saying anything, his eyes glittering, he climbed up and down on the iron shelves in the warehouse and selected the qi-trainers' magical equipment.
"Shua!"
He took down a black iron heavy sword more than two meters long from one of the iron shelves and touched it in fascination.
Although it was called a sword, it was both wide and thick. It weighed more than one hundred and twenty kilograms. The blade was not sharp. When it was swung, it was completely like a flat mace. It could smash the enemy to death. It was the best weapon to deal with the demonic beasts with hard shells.
There were no patterns on the broad body of the sword, but dozens of holes had been embedded.
"This is a jet supersonic heavy sword. Everybody calls it 'sonic sword'. It is the favorite magical equipment of the qi-trainers of the Furious Bears Tribe. Other than that, there are sonic sabers, sonic maces, sonic hammers, and so on. But the mechanism is the same," Wu Mayan explained.
"Look, Uncle Sand Scorpion. There is a circle of air holes on the handle of the sword that lead to the body of the sword. After the enhancement of the rune arrays inside, the air will spurt out from one side of the body of the sword and accelerate the speed of the sword! As long as you are above the 17th level of the Refinement Stage, it will be easy for you to wield the sword at a supersonic speed. "
Li Yao's eyes suddenly shone. He sensed the sword with his spiritual threads and pondered for a moment. Then, he immediately understood the mechanism of the sonic sword.
Walking to a corner, he raised the sword high and stepped forward. At the same time, he blew his spiritual gas into the body of the sword through the handle and slashed it down.
"Hiss!"
His spiritual gas, enhanced by the rune arrays inside the sword, was spurted out from the air holes on the two sides of the body of the sword in eight streams, like a whale spurting water!
Pushed by the spurting spiritual gas, the speed of the sword, which had been accelerated to the maximum in the first place, was raised to a higher level and broke the sonic barrier in the blink of an eye!
"Shua!"
Two sharp waves spread out in the air in front of Li Yao, together with an earsplitting sound of vibration, as if the air had been slashed by Li Yao.
"Using the principle of the jet to increase the speed of the weapon to achieve the purpose of maximizing the destructive power!"
Such a spiritual gas weapon has a simple structure and is easy to maintain. It does not require too many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Also, it is very suitable for Refinement Stage Cultivators. Not bad!
Li Yao secretly complimented in his heart.
In both the Flying Star Sector and the Tian Yuan Realm, the Refinement Stage was only the most fundamental phase and the starting point of Cultivation.
All the Cultivators devoted all their attention to training and breaking into the Building Foundation Stage or even the Core Formation Stage. Sometimes, they even neglected the exploration and study of spiritual gas, believing that spiritual gas was the lowest form of spiritual energy and was not worth studying.
But on Iron Plateau, since the qi-trainers were unable to enter the Building Foundation Stage, they simply focused on the mysteries of spiritual gas. After thousands of years of development, a brilliant training system of spiritual gas was finally born!
The qi-trainers' studies on spiritual gas were far ahead of the rest of the world in many fields!
Li Yao put the sonic sword aside and picked up a crystal bomb from another iron shelf.
The crystal bomb looked like a mace at first glance. It was as long as Li Yao's forearm. The warhead in the front was twice the size of his fist, with sharp thorns all over its surface.
Wu Mayan said, "This is a long-handled Grenade Palm, but everybody likes to call it 'Wolf Fang'!
"The fighting styles of the six tribes of Iron Plateau are different. The Furious Bears Tribe is the tribe that likes melee combat the most.
"When the qi-trainers of the Furious Bears Tribe are fighting, they are best equipped with Wolf Fangs. When we run into demon beasts, we will throw dozens of Wolf Fangs at them and bombard them until the demon beasts are dizzy. Then, we will charge at the demon beasts with sonic swords and sabers and slaughter them until their blood is flowing like a river. That's the most satisfying way!"
Li Yao was deep in thought. No wonder most of the magical equipment he saw on the weapon shelves were sonic swords, sabers, and such Wolf Fangs. He barely saw any guns.
Since the two magical equipment were the basic weapons of the qi-trainers of the Furious Bears Tribe, Li Yao decided to start with the two magical equipment and see if there were any improvements that could be made.
Based on the techniques that Li Yao had learned from Huangpu Shiyi, there was still a lot of room for improvement for the Wolf Fangs.
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and was drawing the structural designs of the magical equipment in his head, when he suddenly heard Wu Mayan exclaim in both surprise and delight, "What? The Fierce Storm Assault Team and the Iron Bears Detonation Team are testing their new magical equipment, and they are going to have a competition test? Uncle Ma, take us to them! "
Pulling Li Yao's arm, Wu Mayan was overjoyed. "Uncle Sand Scorpion, what a coincidence! Two of the best combat squads of the Furious Bears Tribe are testing their magical equipment in the back. They are going to have a competition test. Let's go and take a look!"
Behind the magical equipment warehouse was a spacious test field. Two teams, each consisting of more than ten qi-trainers, were preparing for the test unhurriedly.
By the standards of the Iron Plateau natives, the qi-trainers on the left were not tall. None of them were more than two meters tall. More than half of them were female, and their bodies were relatively slim.
The qi-trainers on the right side, on the other hand, were all tall giants. They were at least 2.34 meters tall, and their shoulders were as broad as doors. They weighed at least two hundred kilograms, which was the definition of 'Berserk Bear'.
The test had not started yet. The qi-trainers on the two teams did not unleash their spiritual gas yet. Therefore, Li Yao could not tell how strong they were.
However, both the slender qi-trainers on the left and the brawny giants on the right brought tremendous pressure to Li Yao.
"What a strong smell of blood. They are all real experts!"
Li Yao's eyes suddenly shone.
