The word "earth" in the name of the earth elemental man is definitely not covered, and his ability is really extraordinary, and he quickly found a large mineral deposit nearby.
"Dark Star Iron Ore?" Athena's beautiful eyes widened again after hearing Chen Rui's translation of the earth element. Dark Star Iron is the best forging material, and the weapons it makes are twice as sharp as ordinary weapons Above, and the enchanting effect has a double chance of appearing. One kilogram of dark star iron is almost equivalent to one kilogram of gold crystals. It is an indispensable basic material for top-grade magic weapons. Unexpectedly, there are rich dark star iron deposits in the underground of Xilang Mountain!
The underground world is extremely rich in mineral deposits. The biggest one is the main vein of iron ore explored by Dark Moon. In addition to Dark Star Iron, there are even more precious moonstones in the area of the earth, as well as blood-streaked silver, secret magic sand, etc. This kind of rare ore veins are distributed all over the ground, which is nothing more than a huge treasure house.
However, many mineral deposits are in the dangerous area where the magic flies are present, and some are buried quite deep. Of course, all of this cannot be hidden from the elemental people who have a strong sensitivity to the earth element.
Athena was a little numb to hearing this. The iron ore produced by Xilang Mountain alone is already the highest quality in the Fallen Angel Empire. Even in the entire Demon Realm, it is also one of the best. Unexpectedly, there are so many precious treasures hidden in the ground. mineral!
Due to the relationship between materials, the Tauren haven't forged weapons for a long time. The solution to the problem of ore impurities has made the Tauren who are naturally fond of forging but have been useless for a long time become more enthusiastic than ever. The entire Tauren lair is in full swing.
Chen Rui is a complete layman in casting and smelting. He only saw that the tauren skillfully shattered the ore, then polished and screened it with special equipment, and refined it in a high-temperature flame generated by a special fuel. The magical device needs to be pressed up and down, which can make the temperature of the flame higher, somewhat like the function of a bellows.
After a series of melting, the ore turns into a liquid state, is separated, and some strange substances are added, and it is heated and stirred continuously, which seems to be some kind of purification process, and finally iron ore is obtained. So many complicated crafts are just the beginning.
The front is mainly equipment, assisting some additional work, and the rest is mainly manpower, more precisely, it is cattle power.
Seeing the tauren repeatedly knocking the iron embryos with stone hammers, Chen Rui's heart suddenly moved, and he told Delong the idea of trying to learn forging. Delong slapped his chest, saying that there is no problem, and there is no need to wait for a while.
It turned out that the tauren's metal objects were basically exhausted, including the hammers used for blacksmithing. Now the first thing the tauren have to forge is ironware. Just like the old saying on the earth: If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.
Knocking is a refining process to remove impurities, and then it needs to be forged, cast, quenched, and shaped to get the required embryo, which is the basic weapon. Don't forget, this is a magical world, and if you want to get a powerful magic weapon, enchanting is essential.
The tauren's forging ability is well-known in the devil world, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary horned demon blacksmiths. Just the kind of knocking to remove impurities is not easy, and brute force alone is definitely not enough. Chen Rui, who was eager to try, took the hammer made by the tauren, and used enough star power to hit it down a few times. The sparks splashed high, but almost flew the iron embryo and injured Athena next to him by mistake.
Now even he himself was too embarrassed to try again, but just carefully observed the movements of the tauren. But this kind of skill is the specialty of the tauren's blood that has been passed down for thousands of years. It looks simple, but it is actually quite difficult. The more Chen Rui heard it, the more confused he became, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his heart, how could he forget that skill!
Seeing Chen Rui's serious appearance, Delong seemed to be really interested in forging, so he demonstrated it himself and explained the essentials one by one without any secrets. As the leader, Delong is not only the most powerful in the tauren tribe, but also the level of forging is one of the best. In his hands, it seems that every simple knock makes people feel natural. The whole process is like an art. generally. Chen Rui has already entered a state of highly concentrated mental power, and he has absorbed Delong's explanations and demonstrations into his mind in detail. When Delong finished casting a simple hammer smoothly, the splendor in Chen Rui's eyes was just right. gradually faded away.
Chen Rui didn't continue to look at it, but closed his eyes, as if he was realizing something, and opened them after about an hour. He asked for the hammer again and began to strike the iron embryo. Because of their previous convictions, the surrounding tauren and Asina Qiqi showed vigilant expressions to prevent accidental injuries from happening again.
However, Chen Rui's performance was unexpectedly good this time. Not only that, but the eyes of the tauren people gradually became surprised. This guy, who was obviously a complete novice just now, was able to start refining the iron embryo in a similar manner. He was a little jerky at first with a hammer, but later he was extremely proficient, as if he had many years of experience.
The most surprising thing is Delong. On the surface, the simple tapping is similar. In fact, every tauren's technique has subtle differences, but what Chen Rui uses is his technique, which is exactly the same. Could it be said that there is a Such a genius can be fully learned by just looking at it
Chen Rui didn't know anything about the surprise of the tauren people. Now he is completely immersed in the comprehension of the feedback information in his brain. The process requires a high level of power control.
Looking at this man who was engrossed in everything, Athena only felt that her eyes were firmly attracted. No wonder the book Alice gave said that a man who is serious and focused on something is the most attractive.
Chen Rui used the imprint of information in his brain, combined with the rules of power in the evil realm, the hammer in his hand became more and more handy, and there was a faint "force" in the swing, the kind of power that is in the arena with Araux. The breakthrough precursor that had appeared during the battle reappeared, and the stardust light in the human form inside the body cheered like some kind of flame, as if it was about to break out of the body. It's a pity that after all, there was still no success after all. Is it true that as Pagliu said, high-level demons belong to the low-level, and it is much more difficult to break through to the middle-level demon king level than ordinary advancement
Although he was a little regretful that he failed to make a breakthrough, Chen Rui still concentrated on beating the hammer in his hand. A few hours later, the refining process was finally completed, and he was already sweating profusely. No easier than a fight. Chen Rui put down the hammer and rubbed his sore arm, only then did he notice the staring tauren around him.
Strictly speaking, this finished product is not particularly good among the tauren. The problem is that Chen Rui was a rookie who didn't understand anything a few hours ago. Essentials. Even the best bloodline tauren can't do this!
Chen Rui smiled slightly, all this is due to a skill that is rarely used: in-depth analysis.
The first time he used this skill was when he was learning the dragon language inscription, and the result almost caused Pagliu to shatter his glasses, and now he almost blinded a lot of bulls' eyes.
Just as Deron was about to speak, he saw the tauren who had sent a letter to Medusa's lair hurried over, bringing Tim's reply.
Chen Rui took a look at the reply and frowned tightly.
This letter should have been ordered by Queen Medusa to Tim. In the letter, the queen expressed her opposition to the earth elemental rebels joining the alliance, and suspected that it might be a trick of the earth elementals. Not only that, Queen Medusa pointed out unabashedly that the tauren did not understand the language of the earth elemental people, and the communication was manipulated by Chen Rui. The so-called "truth" had very low credibility. The fate of all bets on this doubtful outsider.
For Queen Medusa's sharp opinion, Chen Rui could only smile wryly, without concealing it, and translated it to the tauren in every detail.
Athena took a few glances at the letter, and she seemed aggrieved: "We helped Queen Medusa heal the wounded, but she actually repaid her kindness. If we didn't escape quickly, we would have been killed or imprisoned by her. Now We help the tauren and unite with the earth elementals for the survival of all underground creatures, and she still doubts Chen Rui!"
Although they couldn't understand what Athena was talking about, Deron, Torre and others had heard about what happened to Chen Rui in Medusa's lair. Seeing her displeased expression, they vaguely guessed the meaning of the words.
If it was a day ago, although Chen Rui and Athena performed well in the battle, the tauren might still have some doubts, but now the fountain of life is under Chen Rui's control, and it has contributed precious devil fruits. Then the iron ore problem was solved, and the tauren's trust had been completely gained.
Delong thought for a while and asked, "Chen Rui, what do you think?"
"The current situation is very serious. We must be united. If there is civil strife because of this, the magic flies will only be wiped out one by one. I still try to meet Queen Medusa again. No matter how dangerous it is, I must truly gain her approval and trust." trust."
"I support you!" Delong showed admiring eyes: "Hearty, magnanimous, and tolerant. This is a real man. If you have a handsome bull's head on your head, you will definitely become the most popular among women in our tribe." Tauren."
The tauren on the side nodded one after another. Hearing this compliment, Chen Rui felt a little awkward in his heart. What is a 'handsome' bull head? Moreover, due to the problem of aesthetic point of view, the "beauties" of the tauren tribe are too that...
Athena asked him what Delong said, and Chen Rui was ashamed to translate the exclusive praise of the tauren to her. He just said that he planned to go to Medusa's lair to lobby the stubborn and suspicious queen again.
"No!" Athena's objection was quite firm, "You were almost petrified by her last time, it must be dangerous to go this time!"
"No matter how fierce Queen Medusa is, the purpose is still for the survival of the tribe. Otherwise, she would not form an alliance with the tauren who were originally enemies. As long as I make the stakes clear, I believe she will definitely change her attitude." Looking at Ah With Xina's persistent expression, Chen Rui added with a smile: "Don't you trust your man?"
Athena's face turned red, although she knew that these tauren didn't understand, she pinched him in embarrassment, but she was faintly happy in her heart.
Delong laughed and said, "Don't worry, my friend, I will go with you, but it may take two days, because we have to prepare some gifts, gifts that those suspicious female snakes can't refuse."
Chen Rui's eyes lit up, and he landed on the tauren who were swinging their hammers vigorously.
