How beneficial is it to rob a monster lord
Greem didn't want to answer this question, because his mouth was almost crooked.
In the deepest part of the spider's lair, the old spider opened up many independent caves, each of which stored extremely valuable metal ores and rare resources.
With hundreds of years of painstaking collection by the old spider, the richness of this family property also made Greem speechless!
Of course, since the monsters lack a sophisticated metal ore refining system, most of what they store are natural metal crystals and magic gems with good quality.
In the old spider's warehouse, Greem discovered a large number of natural magic iron metal blocks, and it is also one of the basic materials for wizards to create magic iron alloys. In addition to magic iron, Greem also discovered thorium, mithril, kryptonite, adamantine and eternite ores, as well as a large number of magic gemstones such as shadow stones, opals, rough emeralds, citrines...
Of course, apart from ores and gems, the old spider also has a warehouse full of magic stones.
Compared with magic crystals, although they are both magical creations, their grades are much lower. Magic stones are formed after natural stones absorb excessive magic elements, so after the magic power embedded in them is extracted, a large number of broken residues are formed. The magic crystal is purely a kind of crystal formed by strong magic elements under the pressure of strong external force. The amount of magic power stored in a magic crystal per unit volume is much higher than that of a magic stone.
Generally speaking, the structure of the magic stone is stable, but the amount of magic power that can be absorbed is small, and there are residues. The structure of the magic crystal is not stable, but the total value of the magic power contained is relatively high, and there is no residue after crushing.
Therefore, high-level talisman arrays and witch arrays all need magic crystals as the source of magic power, while magic stones can only be used in some low-end occasions. The exchange ratio between the two is roughly maintained at 10 magic stones = 1 magic crystal.
As for the monster lairs in the black forest, they don't have the ability to refine and compress magic crystals, so most of the magic stones they use and hoard are excavated by themselves. Greem roughly estimated that the number of magic stones hoarded by the old spider is about 700,000 to 800,000, or 70,000 to 80,000 magic crystals.
Although it can't completely offset Wuta's war consumption, it is not without a small supplement.
Besides, he was not the only search team sent by Greem. If the other two teams had similar gains, then they might have some savings in addition to offsetting the losses of the war!
But among all the discoveries, the one that made Greem most happy was a rare bottle of 'Blood of the Earth's veins'.
This is a great tonic for earth-blooded wizards. If you get it in the wizard trading market, you can exchange for 30,000 magic crystals at least.
In addition, there are a large number of associated resources of metal ores, such as shadow crystals, citrine, black jade, elemental soil... or some plant resources unique to the Black Forest, such as millennium wood hearts, giant tree roots, magic vine seeds , sun flower...
And among these miscellaneous resources, Greem also discovered a small laboratory, which was full of strange-looking spider-like biological specimens and a large number of unformed embryos. After careful searching, Greem also found a crystal of knowledge in the Migri in the laboratory, which seemed to record the experience of Tula's biological transformation experiments and some soul knowledge over the years.
Although monsters do not have a complete and comprehensive inheritance system like wizards, every ambitious monster will secretly conduct some related research in private. However, their research on each other is isolated and secretive, and there is almost no communication with each other.
Therefore, every monster that wants to study something needs to start from scratch, and there is no ready-made knowledge and technology to learn from.
The result of such research is that the research on monsters is always fragmented and one-sided. Although there are many highlights, most of them are superficial due to the backwardness of knowledge and technical means, unable to thoroughly reveal the deep secrets of the wizarding world!
From the number of alienated demon spiders and spider-like creatures hidden in the entire spider cave, it can be seen that Tula the demon hunter is also a guy who is keen on multiplying and transforming his descendants. However, the combat power of its transformed descendants is very low, which also indicates that Tula's talent and attainments in biological transformation are very ordinary.
But Greem is not picky about these.
It took less than 5 seconds for the knowledge crystal to be placed on the forehead, and the massive data and materials inside were completely copied by him. Then, under the filtering and screening of the chip, 78% of the duplicate and erroneous content is eliminated, and the rest are stored in an orderly manner by the chip.
Greem didn't dare to be interested in how to combine spider eggs with powerful creatures to create spider creatures. However, there are still many explorations of soul research in it, which is of unprecedented significance to him.
To be honest, Greem has been acquiring soul-related knowledge for a long time, but he still has nothing. The research in this area seems to be carried out by those large wizarding organizations and forces, and the relevant knowledge and progress are also strictly blocked.
Ordinary wizards simply don't have any way to obtain relevant content, let alone conduct rigorous and effective witchcraft experiments.
Therefore, in the Greem chip library, the knowledge content related to the soul is almost zero. Although most of Tula's studies are superficial and there are still many mistakes and omissions, they still have great guiding significance for Greem!
Especially the two or three little witchcrafts related to the soul stored in the knowledge crystal at the end, Greem couldn't put it down. If it wasn't for the inappropriate time and place, he couldn't hold back his restless mood, and immediately wanted to obtain first-hand information about them.
After all, for a wizard, new knowledge and new witchcraft are what he is most interested in, and it is also the biggest driving force for his continuous improvement!
There are too many wealth and resources in the spider's lair, it is impossible for Greem and Anguja to take away much. So Greem left Anguja to guard the place, and he brought Medusa Dana back to the Wu Tower by the manticore, and then asked his disciple Am Zhunwu to move back and forth with a group of apprentices and a few manticores.
Anyway, the monsters and large creatures in the nearby black forest are almost dead, so there is no need to worry about their safety. So after Greem gave them the coordinates of the spider's lair, he let it go and began to hide in the Wu Tower and slowly study the contents of the knowledge crystal.
And Medusa Dana, as a seriously injured number, stayed in the Wu Tower to cultivate carefully.
Of course, during this period, Meryl and Gargamel also led the team back one after another.
Although there were some twists and turns in the process, the two also brought back a long list of resources and many strange items to Greem.
Like Greem, every monster leader's lair has a lot of resource reserves and private storage rooms. The storage space of the two teams is limited, so they can only pick out those rare treasures and bring them back. The remaining more materials need to be sorted out and moved slowly.
As for those ordinary resources, of course, they were all handed over to Gargamel, and they were collected in the material warehouse and used as Wuta's basic resources in the future. And those rare and expensive resources have been carefully screened, and most of them are still handed over to Gargamel for unified dispatch. As for the rare ones, they were all kept in the personal secret room by Greem.
In order to win the hearts of the three demon dogs and Medusa, Greem left their lairs untouched and left them to take care of themselves. Therefore, the clearing work is mainly concentrated on the lairs of Tula the Demon Hunting Spider, the berserk giant baboon, the Bird Demon and the Snake Demon.
Although the Bird Demon and the Snake Demon were also surrendered monsters, but due to their limited strength, they did not have the treatment of the two monster leaders. They could only pinch their noses and donate all their belongings to Greem, leaving only some clansmen and monsters for themselves. The resources you need.
The successive relocations lasted for more than ten days, until the last time the Silver Alliance Upanishad Wizard came in a hurry with the construction team, the diseased forest, no, the pile of rocks was still bustling and noisy, making one wonder if they went to the wrong place .
The former diseased forest has completely disappeared, replaced by a pile of rubble within a radius of 5 miles. The black soil is mixed with broken rocks, and the fragments of branches left by the overturned old trees... These are the last traces of the diseased forests of the past.
However, at this moment, in the center of the pile of rocks, a huge hole was dug out, and a new underground passage with twists and turns was also opened. Besides the manticores acting as transporters, there were also many low-level monsters that were common in the Black Forest who were busy in and out of the cave.
They are like the most industrious coolies, unceasingly unloading boxes of heavy objects from the loaded manticores, and then carrying them into the ground with difficulty.
Facing the 'stranger' who came suddenly, groups of harpies flew up into the sky, carrying crude spears and spears in their hands, blocking them from the periphery. On the ground, seven or eight snake demons with adult human upper bodies and snake-like long tails also swayed their bodies, holding the long and bright swords in their hands, and surrounded them.
The silver-robed wizards came this time, using a kind of floating disk unique to the Silver Alliance. Although its flying height is not as high as that of the airship, it is very flexible to operate, and it is more suitable for short-distance flying within a hundred miles.
"Could it be that the wizard's tower didn't resist the attack of the monsters, and has become a paradise for monsters?" A silver-robed mysterious wizard couldn't help but gasp.
"No, I'm afraid it's just the opposite!" The answer was the wizard Eugene who was in charge of protecting the two mysterious wizards: "Look at the entrance of the cave..."
The silver-robed mysterious wizard took a serious look, and sure enough, he spotted one or two wizard apprentices at the edge of the cave entrance. They are not the captives or slaves of these monsters, but rather like the supervisors of the construction site, commanding and dispatching them arrogantly.
Seeing the silver robes on Eugene and the others, Kodar Zhunwu hurriedly called back the bird demons and snake demons, and then greeted them himself.
"I don't know that all of you are distinguished wizards from Rudfini's firm?"
"Yes, we are indeed from the Rudfini firm."
"That's great, my teacher is waiting for you in the Wu Tower. Please follow me!"
Several silver wizards looked at each other suspiciously, followed Kodal silently, and got into the underground passage full of sulfur and flame.
