Sangjia Village is surrounded by mountains and the terrain is dangerous. The surrounding wild animals have been cleared away through five hundred years of hard work. Ye Chong, led by Sang Pu, came to a grassland not far from the village.
On the grass, there is an irregular circle of about one kilometer in radius surrounded by stones of different sizes. There were several young people practicing in the circle. Although they were not very old, the noise between their fists and kicks made Ye Zhong dare not look down upon them.
Samp pointed to the circle and said: "This is a gravity field. Its gravity is about 1.3 times that of the outside. It is suitable for young people who have just fully developed their bodies and their skills have been formed. You see, these people have just graduated from The young men who are apprenticed to the Zongtang in the village. Once they are apprenticed from the Zongtang, it means that they are already a warrior. Here, both men and women must enter the Zongtang to learn fighting. This is the skill that they rely on to survive. "
Samp's expression was indifferent when he said this, and he didn't seem to be bitter about it, but Ye Chong could still hear the bitterness in it.
"Your arrival brings hope to all of us. Sometimes I envy you. The light armor may be just a very common thing in your eyes, but it is just a legend among us. Haha, in fact, We don't have any extravagant demands. As long as we have metal weapons in our hands." Samp's voice revealed strong confidence: "Huh, we are the most powerful clan here. For five hundred years, except for warriors, everyone has Every generation of Sangjia Village will produce one or two smart people, but no one can understand the content on those chips. They have to use the stupidest method and spend their whole life trying various things. They found the low-grade fever Stone, they found plants that could heal injuries, they found the Sun Basket... But they just couldn't find a way to make metal. Each of them died with this unwillingness."
Sang Pu looked at Ye Chong fiercely, and after a while, he suddenly laughed: "What's wrong with me? I just brought you to see the gravity field, but it got involved in this. Hmm. These have nothing to do with you, they are all our Sang Pu It’s just the fate of the clan.”
Ye Zhong was silent, but speechless, not knowing what to say.
Samp cheered up and said, "Take a closer look at this gravity field."
When Ye Chong heard this, he couldn't help but think more seriously about the gravity field that Samp said. There was nothing unusual. Ye Zhong looked at it carefully twice but found nothing different from other places. If it weren't for the circle of stones, Ye Zhong would never have noticed that this ordinary piece of grass turned out to be a gravity field that no one could explain its origin.
After giving Samp a confused look, Ye Chong shook his head and said, "There doesn't seem to be anything unusual."
Samp smiled proudly: "We didn't realize it at first. The gravity field was an extremely dangerous place at that time. But then we finally discovered it. Well, look, what's the difference between the grass inside the gravity field and the grass outside? "
Ye Zhong was stunned when he heard this. He looked carefully and saw some clues. It turned out that the grass inside was shorter than the grass outside. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized.
Seeing Ye Zhong's expression, Samp knew that Ye Zhong had already thought of it, but he still explained: "Due to gravity, the plants in the gravity domain will be different from the plants outside to a certain extent. If the gravity contrast between the two is greater, The larger the area, the more obvious the differences between plants. For example, in this gravity field, its gravity is greater than outside, and the plants growing inside will be shorter than those outside."
Ye Zhong then asked: "What if there are no plants in the gravity domain?"
Samp showed some admiration and said: "Throwing stones to ask for directions."
Ye Zhongxin suddenly understood that if there was a gravity field in front of him, the stone thrown would have an obvious and unnatural fall. This method is indeed very good. It is simple and practical. It does not require complicated instruments, only the momentum that is readily available. And it is conceivable that the flight distance shot by this group of people must be considerable. Even if they enter an unfamiliar area, it will not have too much impact on the forward speed.
What a genius idea. Ye Chong couldn't help but admire in his heart.
After entering the gravity field, Ye Zhong felt a sudden weight on his body, as if his whole body was tied with heavy objects. On the other hand, Sang Pu was as if nothing had happened and was unaware.
When the people who were practicing saw Samp, they couldn't help showing respect. They smiled slightly, patted one of them on the shoulder, said a few words of encouragement, and then came to a corner with Ye Zhong.
Ye Zhong tried to move his hands and feet, and sure enough, they felt abnormally heavy. Warriors trained under such high gravity are definitely second to none in terms of physical strength. Ye Zhong believed that even the masters of Black Horn, who had the most powerful fighting ability, would be dead if they made enemies of the villagers of Sangjia Village without piloting light armor.
After walking around for a while, Ye Zhong felt that there was no other difference except that his body was heavier than outside.
In addition to this comfrey, there are several thick-looking plants in the gravity domain. From a botanical perspective, the leaf weight indicates that this plant should belong to the fungus. The thick cap is dotted with white spots, and its earthy gray appearance makes it look very inconspicuous. But each strain is quite large, with the diameter of the cap being about one meter, and the stipe is thick and textured.
Ye Chong had not seen this kind of fungus in his room. Out of a cultivator's sensitivity to unknown plants, he couldn't help but step forward, observe carefully, and asked, "What is this called?"
"Gray mushroom." Samp said succinctly: "We call it gray mushroom. It looks soft, but is actually very hard. It bites like leather and is inedible. It generally only grows within the gravity field. It has a strong reproductive ability, but Only three plants grow together. We haven't found any use yet."
Ye Zhong touched it and found that it was indeed very hard, completely different from the thick and tender appearance.
Ye Zhong's pupils suddenly opened. He suddenly bent down and carefully dug out the piece of soil. He carefully identified it, but his heart couldn't help but beat fast.
Could it be...
No, he still needed confirmation. Ye Chong straightened up and asked, "What's wrong?" Sang Pu couldn't help but asked anxiously. He was careful and quickly discovered Ye Chong's gaffe.
Ye Chong did not speak, but quickly looked around. Not far away, in another corner of the circle, there were three gray mushrooms growing quietly there.
Pointing his toes, Ye Zhong flew in front of the three gray mushrooms like a big bird. Samp reacted very quickly. When Ye Zhong looked at the other three gray mushrooms, he knew that Ye Zhong must have discovered something. He didn't dare to neglect, and followed Ye Chong closely as soon as Ye Chong's body moved.
Samp was like an explosive beast, simply running behind Ye Chong, extremely fast, but with the beauty of unparalleled power.
Ye Zhong swept over to the three gray mushrooms. As soon as they landed on the ground, he bent down and searched carefully at the bottom of the gray mushrooms.
really! Ye Zhong took a deep breath to calm down his slightly excited heart, and carefully picked up some silver beads scattered in the soil on top of the gray mushroom.
Each of these silver beads is only about the size of a mung bean, indicating that it is dull and mixed in the soil, making it generally difficult to find.
"What are these?" Looking at the silver beads in Ye Zhong's hand, Sang Pu couldn't help but ask.
After looking at Samp, Ye Zhong said slowly: "This is metal."
Sang Pu was struck by thunder and looked at the silver bead in Ye Zhong's hand in disbelief. Is this the metal that the Sang clan covets? Samp couldn't help but tremble slightly.
After a long while, Samp regained his composure. He took a silver bead from Ye Zhong's hand and with a slight exertion, the silver bead turned into a small round cake. Samp's newly heated heart suddenly cooled down: "So What’s the use of soft metal?”
Ye Zhong kicked the gray mushroom next to his feet, making a puffy sound, and said unhurriedly: "It's useful."
Ye Chong finally knew what kind of misunderstanding he had fallen into. All along, Ye Chong has been thinking about how to use high heat to extract liquid gold from liquid gold mines. So he has been looking for how to induce the energy in low-heat stones to form high heat for the purpose of smelting.
At this time, he had forgotten that he was still a trainer.
In the trainer's tutorial, there are also several ways to obtain metals from metal ores through training. Just because the current metal smelting technology is more convenient and simpler than these methods, Ye Chong has already forgotten them somewhere.
When he saw such metal particles coming out of the bottom of the gray mushroom today, Ye Zhong suddenly thought of this method that he had always forgotten.
If Madman Guan was still here, I don’t know what he would think. Ye Chong couldn't help but smile bitterly. I have learned a lot, but very few of them can be considered extremely proficient. Even the fighting skills that he had always thought were superb were greatly affected when he arrived in Sangjiacun.
The roots of the gray mushrooms penetrated very deep, and Ye Zhong and Sang Pu worked together to do it.
The rest of the people in the gravity field stared blankly at Ye Zhong and Sang Pu who were desperately trying to kill the gray mushroom, but the gray mushroom was so disrespectful that it refused to fall. In desperation, the two of them had no choice but to hold the gray mushroom stalk and exert their strength, but the posture was indescribably ambiguous.
The gray spores that fell down covered the two of them, making them truly gray-haired and gray-faced.
Back in the village, all the villagers in Sangjia Village along the road smiled when they saw Samp. Those young women couldn't help laughing, covering their mouths and snickering.
It's really because Samp's current appearance is indescribably funny, with a fat gray mushroom on his shoulder and his head and face covered in gray. If it were an ordinary villager, others wouldn't think so, but it was Samp. He was the next clan leader and a leader among the young people. He had a respected status and his calmness would never change no matter how dangerous the situation was. No one has ever seen him in such a miserable state.
Samp, who had always been calm, was blushing furiously, but fortunately his face was covered with gray mushroom spores, so he couldn't see it.
Ye Zhong followed Sang Pu unhurriedly, his expression as leisurely and indifferent as ever.
