Seeing the Steel King, Zhang Changkong was a little helpless. When he just used this place as a warehouse to store vitality stones, the Steel King came here not long ago and settled here directly. Zhang Changkong also found that the Steel King didn't need him. Go looking for food, and those steel ant elites will catch fish from the underground river for it to eat. It will stay in this warehouse all day long.
Originally, it was just like this. It was nothing for the Steel King to absorb a little vitality stone. However, the Steel King had a bad habit. After it came out, it would often find a container and bite it and get in. I don't know if it has been bitten by it these days. How many containers have been transported, like a mouse entering a grain warehouse.
However, Zhang Changkong still has no way to deal with it. Although it knows how to think simply and will ask the steel ant elite to pay tribute to food, Zhang Changkong cannot communicate with it at all, and it does not have good understanding ability. Even if Zhang Changkong bans it from entering here, But it would soon forget Zhang Changkong's order and return here as a matter of course.
"Steel King, come here," Zhang Changkong waved, without giving the order with his mind.
It happened many times, maybe because the Steel King remembered Zhang Changkong's waving movements, it responded to Zhang Changkong's body language for the first time and crawled over.
Zhang Changkong caught the Steel King's body. In more than half a month, it had grown a lot, from the thickness of its arms to the thickness of its calves. Compared with ordinary steel ants, it had grown a bit slower.
Zhang Changkong waved his hand and used magic power to place the containers one by one, and placed the Steel King on Hei Er's head. Hei Er felt a sense of resistance, so Zhang Changkong took the Steel King down again.
During this time, he discovered that the Steel King would emit a kind of pheromones, and it used these pheromones to command the Iron Ant Elite. Compared with the orders given by Zhang Changkong with his mind, the orders given by this kind of pheromones were more specific and long-lasting, at least Zhang Changkong If Changkong asked the steel ants to carry food over long distances without anyone watching, the steel ants would most likely "consume" the food automatically or move it somewhere unknown, but the Steel King could make the steel ant elites do it for them. It preys.
Black One and Black Two are somewhat resistant to Steel King's pheromones. I don't know if this is because Steel King is young and not very strong, or because of the influence of the "Secret Art of Slaves" or because of the Zerg's constitution. However, although they resist, He would not have the thought of attacking Steel King. On the contrary, Steel King would often show anger towards the two Zerg Black One and Black Two, as if they had offended his status.
However, compared with Steel King's pheromones, the orders issued by Zhang Changkong have higher priority. The Iron Ant elites who accept both Steel King's orders and Zhang Changkong's orders will give priority to Zhang Changkong's orders, and sometimes even ignore Steel King's orders. However, After Zhang Changkong's order expires, he will become loyal to the King of Steel.
Zhang Changkong is very interested in this ability of Steel King. He has been thinking about how to improve Steel King's intelligence so that he can become a qualified supervisor and do a good job in mining for him. The past half month of supervising mining has been wasted. He had wasted a lot of time and even practiced. He had a limited life but did not practice diligently every day. This behavior made him very sad. If the Steel King could take over this supervisor's job, he would be very happy.
But seeing the Steel King foolishly trying to climb on top of him again and again under his control, he knew that this day might be far away.
Zhang Changkong dropped the Steel King casually and walked to the side of the warehouse. There were more than thirty rock containers there. The vitality stones contained in these rock containers were not known to be unformed or partially damaged. They could not maintain their vitality like other vitality stones. Instead of leaking out, the vitality in them is slowly dissipating. Zhang Changkong plans to use these semi-finished vitality stones as nutrients for the exotic flowers and plants in Miaoshan. The complete vitality stones and those exotic flowers and plants cannot absorb the vitality, but these semi-finished products should be able to absorb so much. Not sure at all.
Although he didn't know whether those exotic flowers and plants that were not vitality plants had any effect on absorbing vitality, but as vitality was a special energy in this world, it was always good to absorb more.
Zhang Changkong put these containers containing semi-finished vitality stones and hundreds of boxes of vitality stones on the backs of the steel ant elites waiting in the cave, and let them move towards Black Bee City one after another.
The Steel King watched the Iron Ant Elite move out boxes of vitality stones. He didn't bother to crawl on Zhang Changkong, and immediately ran to the exit of the warehouse and wildly shook the two tentacles on his head, as if giving orders to the Iron Ant Elite.
It's a pity that after the Iron Ant Elite accepted Zhang Changkong's order, they ignored the orders of the Steel King. The Steel King's small body could not block the huge body of the Iron Ant Elite. They could only rush around at the exit, but they were reluctant to walk out. warehouse.
Zhang Changkong did not expect that the Steel King actually had the character of a miser. No wonder Liu Sanjin and the other three mentioned that they had difficulty in getting the Vitality Stone here. They must have been blocked by the Steel King. If Zhang Changkong returned to Black Bee City later, the Steel King would When they grow older, the three of them may no longer be able to retrieve the vitality stones from the ground, and they may even be attacked by the King of Steel.
But now the work of the three people is basically over. Zhang Changkong has sacrificed his training time to personally supervise the mining work for the high-grade vitality stone that he has never seen before. Moreover, the harvest of vitality stones this time is also too many, Zhang Changkong Changkong thought about how to use these vitality stones.
Currently, he and his insects are the only ones consuming the Vitality Stone, and this consumption is nothing compared to a Vitality Stone vein.
"Right now, I use nine vitality stones in one day's practice. If I am extravagant, I can only use ten at most. I have a few zerg under my command. Black One, Black Two and Steel King are still here. They can be self-sufficient. Each of the other five zerg At most, about seven to eight hundred vitality stones are consumed per month, and the vitality saplings are probably close to a hundred. In other words, the maximum consumption of vitality stones per month is only a thousand or so, but the monthly harvest is forty or fifty. Ten thousand pieces, this consumption is equivalent to nothing." Zhang Changkong thought, if this vein of Yuanqi Stone is big enough and provides him with five to six million Yuanqi Stones every year, as long as he digs for seven or eight years and the accumulated wealth is exposed, I believe The monks in the Xiangshan Sect's mage realm would be happy to kill him and receive his inheritance.
"The trouble now is not that there is too much wealth to use up, but that there is too much wealth to use up." Zhang Changkong was a little distressed. The inability to convert so many vitality stones into strength made him a little uncomfortable.
"It seems that we can only harvest more Zerg. Although giving Vitality Stones to Zerg is not a promising investment, but who told me that I have more Vitality Stones than I can use up? I hope I can harvest them from Centipede Mountain Range this time. The eggs of the insects can hatch out more zerg. Well, I haven’t visited the Gray Iron Mine Cave for a long time. Maybe Black Three and Black Four are there waiting for food.” Zhang Changkong rode Black Two After walking for a long time, I finally returned to the grounds of the castle.
People in the castle were no longer surprised that bugs came in and out, because Zhang Changkong also had the title of Zerg Immortal Master in the Sanhe Rainforest, and Zhang Changkong's most iconic feature was controlling bugs.
But the servants in the castle still stayed away from these insects, and just watched the insects from a distance as they walked to the huge pond behind the castle.
Zhang Changkong stood on the edge of the pond, looking at the huge fish shadows that occasionally appeared in the pond.
This pond is connected to several small streams flowing down from the mountains as a source of running water. Zhang Changkong specially built it and covers an area of dozens of acres. Most of the area is covered by the mountain, which means that the pond is concave. Only a small part of the mountain can be illuminated by the sun. The average depth is forty meters, and some places are even sixty or seventy meters deep. The bottom of the pond was built by Zhang Changkong in a strange shape, and there are also ponds on the water surface inside the mountain. There are many huge stone pillars connected to the mountain.
This pond was built out of interest by Zhang Changkong during the rainy season when the city was building a pond. He told the Black Bee City Lord's Mansion to throw all the ferocious fish or some wonderful fish or even strange aquatic creatures that he caught into it. Zhang Changkong doesn't know what has been put in over the years and what currently exists inside.
Zhang Changkong released his spiritual consciousness to cover the entire pond surface.
"Scanning the spiritual consciousness over a large area like this can only go deep into the water for more than ten meters, but it doesn't scan too many powerful creatures." Zhang Changkong sensed it for a while, then concentrated his spiritual consciousness and probed to the bottom in a columnar shape, like a searchlight. After scanning them again, Zhang Changkong found that the auras of the two big fish were somewhat similar to the eagle leaders he had seen in Satellite City No. 16. He thought that these two fish should have the blood of ferocious beasts, so he just scanned them briefly. , maybe there are others hidden.
Zhang Changkong was a little surprised. He didn't expect the people from Black Bee City to be so capable. Even if these fish with the blood of ferocious beasts hadn't awakened the ferocious beast blood when they were caught, they were still very powerful in the water. He didn't expect that they could catch them. .
Zhang Changkong's consciousness was fully activated, and he scanned that there was no one around him.
With a thought, mana attached to three containers containing vitality stones. The three containers floated, passed far across the water, flew towards the concave water, and then were embedded one by one into the rocks above the water.
Groups of three, and soon, except for those containers containing semi-finished vitality stones, other containers were embedded in the rocks.
This place is not far from the castle and just far away from the area where steel ants live, so it is suitable for hiding treasures.
Zhang Changkong was about to leave when he suddenly glanced at the pond.
With a thought, a container containing semi-finished vitality stones flew over the pond. The rocks on the surface of the container fell off, and the semi-finished vitality stones scattered into the pond under the control of Zhang Changkong's magic power.
"I wonder if these semi-finished vitality stones are good for living things. If they are, would it be effective to add these semi-finished vitality stones during the hatching of insect eggs?" Zhang Changkong thought as he left.
He felt that it was time to give Feng Luan some vitality stones for research. The Miaoshan Research Laboratory had been researching for so long and had not obtained any information about cultivating zerg. Maybe it was because of the lack of vitality, a key thing.
Moreover, the Miaoshan Research Laboratory has now done a good job of keeping secrets confidential after the Zhao Xianxing incident.
Recently, I heard that the person who contracted the zerg but did not join the insect catching team accepted the employment of the Miaoshan Research Laboratory to assist in security work. Zhang Changkong didn't know what that person thought. He joined the insect catching team for a period of time to gain some experience, and soon The fourth insect catching team in Miao Shan can be established, and it is logical that he can be the captain. After all, he is also one of the four mortals in Miao Shan who has contracted with the zerg. If he does not take the road to the sky, he will be a security guard. It can only be said that everyone has his own ambitions.
Back in the training room, Zhang Changkong sat down cross-legged.
"It's been a long time since I practiced quietly for a long time. I had to be on guard against enemies all the time at Nanman Tianguan, and I had a lot of things to deal with when I came back. I feel that the time for cultivation has become much shorter without realizing it. In this way, I can practice in ten years. Is the mana full? It probably won't work anymore. We have to dig mines and deal with the troubles in the Centipede Mountains." Zhang Changkong was a little distressed.
Well, maybe so.
After thinking about it, Zhang Changkong quickly entered the state of cultivation.
