Three days later, next to a zigzagging river at the northwest edge of the Furious Bears Tribe …
Hundreds of years ago, this place used to be a vast river. But because of the climate change, it had long dried up.
The riverbed, on the other hand, was as red as blood because of the infiltration of the mother lodes below the ground. Looking from afar, a red river was still flowing slowly.
Within a radius of a hundred miles, there was no sign of human habitation. In an abandoned mine, strange noises could be heard coming from the depths of the mine.
The dense noises sounded like an iron tornado raging in the mine, or two prehistoric ferocious beasts fighting each other in the depths of the cave. Occasionally, waves of earth-shattering explosions would come from a thousand meters below the ground, blowing large clusters of colorful smoke that were stained with mineral powder out of the mine.
Finally, in the afternoon, all the noises died down. A tired man crawled out of the cave, dragging a few full carts.
Li Yao's body was covered with colorful mineral powder. Even his face was somewhat blurred. His hands were slightly trembling. Because of the high temperature, the beads of sweat that dripped to the ground were emitting wisps of white steam.
Li Yao could not wait to pour half a bottle of water into his throat. He seemed to be hissing. Licking his dry lips, Li Yao suddenly kicked a few carts over, allowing the items inside to fall to the ground. He observed the products that he had refined crazily in the past three days in great satisfaction.
The first cart was full of bullets.
The True Qi guns on Iron Plateau were based on the principle that the qi-trainers injected their spiritual gas into the gun from the rear so that the bullets would be propelled out.
In theory, even if it was just a steel ball, once it had enough speed, it could explode with unparalleled power.
However, the driving force of spiritual gas was limited. To increase the damage, one had to work on the bullets.
The bullets had been refined with the corpses of apocalyptic beasts and high-purity crystals.
Most of the bullets adopted the structure of armor-piercing bullets. The bones of the dragon-level apocalyptic beasts were used as the core of the bullets. The crystals inside would explode violently after they were shot into the target's body.
For Cultivators in the low level of the Refinement Stage, the bullets were almost a one-hit kill!
Inside the second mining cart. There were four or five different types of firearms and True Energy sabers and swords, all of which had been refined by him with the bones of strange beasts and special alloys.
Because there was no one in the wilderness, Li Yao was able to display the ancient refining techniques to the extreme and completely fuse all the materials. As a result, the strength and sharpness of these firearms and swords were raised to the limit.
Inside the third minecart was the lethal weapon, "Thunder Roar", which could shoot Wolf Fangs like bullets.
Li Yao redesigned 'Thunderous Roar' so that it could be used to launch the oval crystal bombs that he had specially designed.
The crystal bombs that looked as inconspicuous as eggs were, in fact, made by Li Yao with the cores of dragon-level exotic beasts. It was just a tiny piece. It could blow up half of the mine or clear out all the enemy soldiers within a radius of a hundred meters.
Even a Foundation Establishment or Core Formation Stage cultivator might not dare to take this Yao Dan Bomb head on!
But he had refined two hundred of such bombs, which had consumed all the most precious trophies in the battle against the apocalypse!
It was the most wasteful use of so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to refine bullets and crystal bombs. Even Li Yao felt that it was a waste of God's gifts.
But it couldn't be helped. His time was limited. It was impossible for him to craft the delicate and elegant magical equipment. He could only choose the simplest, most violent, and most unrestrained magical equipment.
"Six tribes of Iron Plateau, I'm sorry that so many of your resources have been consumed. But if we can't survive this war, there will be no future for Iron Plateau at all!
"As long as we can survive the war and unveil the scheme of the Temple of Immortals, the Immortal Cultivators will become our common enemy. It will be a sure thing that we will start a trade in the future. No matter how many resources we have, we will be able to trade them back. "
While thinking, Li Yao kicked over the fourth minecart.
What fell to the ground was armor parts that looked like the shell of a beetle.
"Sky Scorpion Armor, equip!"
Li Yao took a deep breath. Spiritual gas surged out of his body and spread out like ripples, generating a strong attraction force.
One by one, the armor components were sucked into his body and combined with each other to form a set of majestic armor!
The brand-new Sky Scorpion Armor that had been melded with the materials of the apocalyptic beasts!
Although the structure of the Sky Scorpion Armor had not changed much, the previous version of the Sky Scorpion Armor had merely been made of common metals, mimicking the structure of the Emperor Sand Scorpion.
The strengthened version of the Sky Scorpion Armor, on the other hand, had been refined with the shells and bones of a lot of dragon-level apocalyptic beasts, including the body parts of the two calamity-level apocalyptic beasts!
The calamity-level apocalyptic beasts had been able to resist the siege of more than ten experts in the eightieth level of the Refinement Stage for more than half an hour. The defense ability of their shells was as good as that of a Core Formation Stage Cultivator!
As for the other giant sandworm, although its skin was softer, its defense ability was equally shocking. The dense teeth inside its mouthpart were more suitable to be embedded on the surface of the armor as combat spears!
Putting on the brand-new Sky Scorpion Armor, Li Yao was like a human-shaped apocalyptic beast. He couldn't have looked more ferocious!
But this was still not the end of it!
After equipping himself with the armor, Li Yao was even more intimidating than before. He kicked over the fifth tank, and the components of the armor scattered on the ground were also parts of the armor, except that they were larger, rougher, and wilder in size!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Under the guidance of Li Yao's spiritual gas, the enormous components of the plate armor flew up and hovered around him.
Li Yao's feet left the ground and floated three meters above the ground. He opened his hands and allowed the brand-new armor parts to connect to the Sky Scorpion Armor.
After putting on the Sky Scorpion Armor, he was 2.2 meters tall. But after putting on the brand-new armor, he had turned into a giant almost four meters tall!
The double armor made him look both like a gigantic scorpion standing on its hind legs and the features of a spider. Two claws that looked like mantises protruded from the back of his shoulders, and a long horn that looked like a halberd extended to the sky from the helmet!
The entire armor was mainly black with gold stripes all over, making him look like a tiger among insects!
It was an Ares Extension!
It was used to provide the Crystal Suit with an instantaneous maximal increase in combat ability. Usually, it could only be used once or twice. Therefore, it was a complete set of strengthening components that could be refined with the most destructive attack rune arrays. It was an Ares Extension!
Li Yao had received a 'Dragon Scale Extension' on Boneyard. He had been deeply impressed by the power of an Ares Extension back then. After he arrived in the Flying Star Sector, he had paid special attention to the files and designed a few structural designs of the Ares Extension himself.
However, after further studies, he discovered that the cost of refining an Ares Extension was too high. All the strengthening components required a lot of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. In order to drive the most powerful attack rune arrays, a lot of high-purity crystals had to be consumed, too.
It was safe to say that every Ares Extension was made with mountains of gold and silver. However, it could only be used once.
Only in the era of the Star Ocean Imperium, the wealthy army of the Imperium could afford such powerful magical equipment.
Li Yao dropped the idea of refining an Ares Extension after he came up with a few budget plans.
But this time, with the abundant Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and the need to improve his combat ability in only a few days, Li Yao was finally able to refine an Ares Extension without caring about the cost!
Because all the strengthening components were made of the apocalyptic beasts, he named the Ares Extension as' Apocalypse '!
BOOM!
With the Apocalypse Extension on his body, Li Yao's intimidating aura, which was already intimidating in the first place, was even more intimidating than before. After he exerted his strength, the airwaves spread out in all directions. The dust on the desert was flying everywhere, but the world within a hundred square meters around him couldn't have been clearer because the tiniest dust had been blown far away by his aura!
After swallowing the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with the 'Art of the Swallowing Whale', my capability has reached the 81st level of the Refinement Stage, which is between the high level and the peak of the Building Foundation Stage.
Together with the Sky Scorpion Armor, which has consumed the essence of the apocalyptic beasts, my combat ability has been greatly enhanced. I will be able to fight a Core Formation Stage Cultivator even if I run into one!
Right now, I also have the amazingly powerful 'Apocalypse Extension'. At a critical moment, I will be able to fight a few rounds even if I am an expert like Jin Dan!
Smiling, Li Yao stored the Apocalypse Extension and all the guns and swords back into his Cosmos Ring. Then, he summoned Black Wing.
Behind the Sky Scorpion Extension, on the other hand, was a thick pillar that looked like an exposed spine. Driven by his spiritual gas, it slowly opened to both sides like an open sheath that could accommodate Black Wing. Then, it was clamped tightly.
"Little Black, let's go!"
Over the past few days, Black Wing had enjoyed a lot of food with Li Yao. It had swallowed a lot of cores of apocalyptic beasts, and its spiritual energy was more abundant than ever.
Li Yao roared. Intense black brilliance spurted out of his sword and darted to the north like a rocket!
To the west of the six tribes of Iron Plateau, after passing through thousands of kilometers of unpopulated areas, they gradually entered the so-called 'Dark Continent'.
However, Li Yao did not go deep into the Dark Continent directly. Instead, he wandered back and forth in the unpopulated areas, searching for the location that he needed.
Eventually, he found a valley that he was very satisfied with and crawled into a cave deep inside the valley.
He sprinkled the rags and the scraps of daily necessities that he had prepared in advance into the cave.
He even used a bone blade to carve out a series of marks on the cave wall.
The Hundred Smelting Clan had a lot of secret arts to disguise magical equipment. They could disguise the magical equipment as common objects or make the rocks look old.
After decorating carefully for a long time, the cave looked as if someone had lived in it a long time ago.
Maybe, the decorations here would come in handy very soon.
Li Yao examined the place one last time. After confirming that there were no loopholes, he went all the way to the west and entered the Dark Continent! (To be continued)
