Chang Fei finally came to his senses, what did Ye Mo want to do next? The city defense and internal construction of the fairy village were basically completed, and it was time to go out and grab the land.
"Our Ye's Fairy Village has almost no income now. If we want to earn spiritual stones in a short time, we must find spiritual resources in this Aolai Islands.
Gao Jian stayed behind in Xiancun. Chang Fei, please make preparations and arrange the ship and crew. I will take the Tunu Five Guards to go to sea and explore the wild islands hundreds of miles around to see if I can find spiritual resources."
Ye Mo thought for a moment and then ordered.
"Why don't you take more people with you? Will there be any danger?"
Gao Jian asked hesitantly.
"No monsters above the fourth level have been found in this Aolai sea area. What danger can there be? There are still some construction tasks to be completed in the fairy village. There is a shortage of manpower everywhere. There is no need to bring too many people."
Ye Mo said with a smile, "Besides, I have just broken through the middle stage of Qi refining, and my strength has reached two thousand kilograms. I have used three consecutive slashes, and the third-level monsters can't do anything to me. If I encounter the third-level golden feather giant eagle now, it will not be able to do anything to me."
Don’t be afraid.”
"Yes, I will make arrangements now."
Chang Fei responded and left in a hurry.
The area of Ye's Ling Island is not small, and there may be various mineral resources underground.
However, exploring mineral veins deep underground is not an easy task.
Unless you dig with a shovel and a shovel of black iron ore, it's impossible to know where the veins are.
Even if you dig like this, it may not be effective.
Because some mineral veins are buried deep underground, perhaps tens or hundreds of feet below, it is difficult to find them without using real exploration techniques.
There are specialized prospecting monks in Qingyun Immortal City. Soul-hunting and prospecting are very effective, but the cost of hiring them to do prospecting is quite high, and it is even conditional on sharing the discovered mineral veins.
Thinking of this, Ye Mo felt a little depressed.
The exploration of Ye's Ling Island should not be rushed. This island belongs to oneself and cannot be escaped.
Ye Mo planned to visit the surrounding unowned islands first and try to occupy the good islands around them.
Now that Ye's Fairy Village is on the right track, he doesn't need to spend any more time. It's time to explore various islands.
There are approximately more than a thousand islands in the Aolai Archipelago.
Thousands of miles around Ye's main island, there are nearly ten "wild islands" that are currently ownerless.
Compared with Ye's Spiritual Island, these wild islands are either too small, have no spiritual trees, and are plain, so they are not suitable for establishing fairy villages.
Ye Mo stood on the bow deck of the ship, looking at an island in front of him.
This island is a bit strange, with mountain peaks and a lot of bushes on the island, but there are no tall trees, and many places are bare rocks. There seems to be geothermal hot springs, with a lot of gunpowder smoke constantly rising, and the temperature seems to be very high.
The five Tunu guards stood silently behind and on both sides of Ye Mo, accompanying him to protect him.
"City Lord, the island in front of us is more than thirty miles long and twenty miles wide. There is a place where we can barely reach the shore. Do you want to go up and have a look?" Chang Fei said as the ship circled the wild island ahead.
"Well, let's go up and take a look and hope to gain something."
Ye Mo nodded lightly.
He had already continuously explored two unowned wild islands before, and only found some spiritual trees and no other gains.
This situation was originally expected by him.
Valuable resources are not so easy to find.
Ye Mo was already mentally prepared.
Following a whistle, the sailors on the ship received the command to turn around and approach a coast of the island that was suitable for anchorage.
A huge spiritual wood board several feet long was erected on the coast.
"I'll take Ajin, Amu and the others up to have a look. You pay attention to the situation here."
Ye Mo ordered to Chang Fei.
Ye Mo gave new names to the five guards of Tunu, named after the five elements, namely Ajin, Amu, Ashui, Ahuo, and Atu. Ashui is the only woman among the five guards.
"yes"
Chang Fei nodded and led the sailors to stay on the ship and respond at any time, just in case.
Later, Ye Mo and the five Tunu guards landed.
This wild island is not small, about half the size of Ye Shi Ling Island. Because it lacks a large amount of forest, such an island is not suitable for building a fairy village.
Ah Jin walked at the front, using the Black Iron Spirit Sword to clear the way, avoiding the messy bushes, and clearing the way in front.
Ye Mo walked while observing the vegetation in the bushes.
"There are actually a small amount of magical herbs on this island to clean up the monsters on the island. Someone can come over and pick these magical herbs."
Ye Mo's eyes lit up, and he carefully dug out a mature low-level spiritual grass from the bushes with his spiritual sword, showing a satisfied look. This was one of the elixirs of the first-level vitality pill.
Although there are not many low-level spiritual grasses like this on the island, every one you can pick is one.
"Viper"
Ahead, Ah Jin's cry suddenly came.
Among the four Tu slave guards on both sides of Ye Mo, A Tu and A Mu immediately passed by quickly and rushed to support. A Shui and A Huo stayed where they were.
Ye Mo was digging for spiritual herbs and looked up when he heard the sound.
Ah Jin and a sea snake three to four feet long were fighting together in the bushes.
Ye Mo took one look and lost interest, and continued to search for the elixir in the bushes.
An ordinary wild snake is probably at the level of an intermediate warrior.
Ah Jin has been a monk in the Qi training stage for a long time, and he can kill the wild snake by himself.
Sure enough, in a few breaths, Ah Jin had killed the sea snake with the Black Iron Spirit Sword, and he, A Tu, and A Mu dragged the sea snake to Ye Mo.
The meat of such a big sea snake was enough for six of them to eat several meals.
Not wasting any time, they lit a bonfire in the bushes and roasted the sea snake into fragrant meat and ate it.
I searched everywhere in the bushes of this wild island for more than two hours.
It took six people to penetrate the bushes and arrive at a messy mountainous area.
Ye Mo climbed up a hill and looked around.
The road we came from was a dense bush, and there were rolling hills ahead. The vegetation gradually became less and less, exposing patches of rocks, and there were even places where smoke was coming out.
"Let's go ahead and take a look again to see if we can find any spiritual objects."
Ye Mo said to the fifth guard.
Looking for spiritual objects on wild islands, if you don’t have special detection methods, you can only rely on luck.
Although this island is not big, its terrain is complex.
They walked on it for a whole day.
That night, six people camped beside a rock.
Ye Mo found a dry place to sit down.
Ah Shui went to fetch water, and the other four guards scattered to collect firewood.
"Master, I found a piece of red stone. Some weird things happened when I held it in my hand. It actually generated heat. It should contain fire energy."
After a while, Ah Shui returned with a water bag in one hand and a red stone in the other. He handed it to Ye Mo, half-kneeling to report, with a rather confused look on his face.
"A crimson red ore that contains a strong fire spirit"
Ye Mo was stunned for a moment, took it, and examined it carefully, quickly showing a look of surprise, "This is red fire ore, Ah Shui, the main mine for refining fire-based spiritual swords. Where did you find it?"
There was a bit of urgency in his tone.
“Over there where the water is collected”
Ah Shui said immediately.
"Let's go and have a look"
Ye Mo stood up immediately. Red fire ore is a high-value ore, more valuable than black iron ore.
Ah Shui took Ye Mo and walked behind a big rock on the opposite side of the mountain.
"Master, this is where I was getting water. I accidentally discovered a piece of red ore in the water, and felt the fire spirit, which attracted my attention."
On the other side of the big rock, Ah Shui came to a small pool.
However, no other red fire ore was found in this small pool.
Soon, the other four guards also rushed over.
Without waiting for Ye Mo's instructions, several local guards dispersed and looked around carefully.
Ye Mo's cultivation level has been upgraded to the fourth level of Qi training, and the coverage area of his spiritual thoughts has reached an astonishing forty feet.
His search efficiency is even higher than the five guards combined.
"there"
Ye Mo suddenly felt something and immediately shot in one direction.
Five local guards followed closely, worried that Ye Mo would be in danger.
"There are some scattered red fire ores here"
Ye Mo flew down into a pile of rocks more than seventy or eighty feet away. He picked up a red ore from it, checked it and handed it to Ah Jin.
Ah Jin saw it and showed it to others, and the guards also became excited.
"Keep looking, I want to see where the source is."
Ye Mo was shocked and very excited.
Red fire ore will not exist alone. There must be mineral veins on the island, and they should be shallow veins, otherwise red fire ore will not be found on the surface.
The dark sky did not affect the search of several people.
Not only Ye Mo, but also Wuwei also picked up a few pieces of red fire ore.
"Master, there is hot wind in this canyon"
“Where does the hot wind come from?”
"The wind is blowing from the other side of the canyon, go and take a look."
Ye Mo immediately led Tunu Wuwei and others towards a small canyon between two hills. The further in, the stronger the heat became.
Soon, a few of them stopped next to a collapsed rock in the canyon.
"There are a lot of red fire ores and black iron stones here."
Ah Jin was digging in the rubble. After carefully investigating, he looked up and was happy.
“It’s great that it’s an open-pit red fire mine.”
Ye Mo looked at the red ore on the ground, his face filled with joy.
It is obvious that the veins are close to the surface of the earth, and the red fire minerals inside the rocks are exposed due to years of wind and rain erosion.
"Hey, there is a small hole here"
Ah Shui suddenly found a rock wall not far away.
She walked over carefully and found that there was heat radiating from the cave, and it was obviously rich in red fire ore.
Suddenly, a fiery red shadow screamed out of the hole, and a claw struck out in front of him.
"who"
Ah Shui was startled, his weak face suddenly became cold and frosty, and with a shake of the black iron spirit sword in his hand, he retreated violently.
The fiery red shadow was extremely flexible. It dodged the sword and jumped up again. The speed was faster than Ah Shui's retreat speed.
"clang"
Ye Mo slashed out a golden light and collided with the fiery red shadow, making the sound of gold and iron clashing.
The fiery red shadow was driven back by a sword and returned to the cave.
"It's a fire monster living in a cave. Be careful."
Ye Mo said solemnly. The red shadow just now was too fast, and he didn't see clearly what kind of monster it was. He could only vaguely see that it was covered with thick spiritual armor.
The five guards quickly formed a formation and blocked the entrance of the cave in front of Ye Mo.
"Swish swish"
Several fiery red shadows shot out again and violently attacked the five guards.
"kill"
Ah Jin shouted loudly, and he and the other four guards charged towards the fiery red shadow.
"clang"
Ye Mo's Golden Spirit Sword erupted with a burst of golden light and struck one of the fiery red shadows. Although it repelled the fiery red shadow, it did not hurt it. It fell to the ground, covered with armor, staring at Ye fiercely.
silent.
"Pangolin demon? Its defense power is so amazing that even the Golden Spirit Sword can't break through its demon armor."
Ye Mo finally saw it clearly and was shocked.
You must know that the Golden Spirit Sword has strong armor-piercing power.
This pangolin monster's attack is very average, but its defense is incredibly powerful.
"Master, the scales of these pangolin monsters are too thick to hurt them."
"You can't kill them no matter how hard you fight, you have to go back and find a way to deal with them."
Ye Mo retreated, not wanting to get entangled with them, and the five guards immediately followed him out of the small canyon.
Those fiery red shadows did not chase them out, they hid in the cave and watched them warily.
