Chapter 359 Observing Ore 6
They formed a deep friendship with the Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai, and embarked on an adventure to explore the unknown with the four Zerg brothers and sisters Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua and Li Li. One day, they came to a mysterious area called Huayuan, where a legendary mineral - pomegranate - was hidden.
The mineral pomegranate, as its name suggests, looks like a pomegranate on Earth, but its interior contains unprecedented energy in the Zerg world. It is said that this mineral can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of Zerg warriors, and even has inestimable value for human travelers. Therefore, finding the mineral pomegranate has become an important goal of their adventure.
Huayuan is a basin surrounded by dense jungle. Sunlight shines through the treetops and dapples on the ground. The air is filled with a strange aroma, the unique smell of pomegranates, which makes everyone feel refreshed. As the leader, Wang Jun was the first to step into the basin. His tentacles swayed gently, sensing every inch of the surrounding land.
"Everyone be careful, the terrain here is complicated and there may be traps." Wang Jun's voice echoed in the communicator, reminding every team member.
Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying followed closely behind, their eyes were sharp and they were always alert. Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua and Li Li were responsible for guarding the rear to ensure the safety of the team. The jungle in Huayuan was extremely dense, and every step had to be taken carefully to avoid triggering unknown mechanisms.
After a difficult journey, they finally arrived in front of a huge mine. The entrance of the cave was covered by vines. If it weren't for Wang Jun's keen perception, it would be difficult to find it. Zhang Ying stepped forward and cut the vines with an energy knife, revealing the full view of the cave entrance. A faint blue light shone from the cave, reflecting on their nervous and excited faces.
"Is this the origin of pomegranates?" Zhang Ying murmured to himself, with anticipation gleaming in his eyes.
Wang Jun nodded, signaling everyone to prepare to enter. He was the first to step into the cave, and his tentacles quickly detected the road conditions ahead. The cave was dark and deep, and only the light source they carried with them could illuminate the front. As they went deeper, the blue light in the cave became stronger and stronger, and a faint energy fluctuation began to permeate the air.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the depths of the cave, and then a group of Zerg warriors of various shapes appeared in their sight. These warriors exuded a strong fighting spirit, and it was obvious that they were the guardians of the mineral pomegranate.
"Prepare for battle!" Wang Jun quickly gave the order, and the team immediately entered combat mode. Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying used human-specific combat skills to engage in a fierce battle with the Zerg warriors. Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li used Zerg-specific abilities to deal with the enemy.
The battle was extremely fierce, but with the team's tacit understanding and strength, they gradually gained the upper hand. At this moment, a roar came from the deepest part of the cave, and then a huge piece of pomegranate fell off the rock wall and rolled towards the battlefield.
"Pomegranate!" Wang Jun shouted, and everyone stopped fighting immediately, staring at the ore emitting blue light. They knew that this moment was the key to determining the success or failure of this trip.
Under Wang Jun's command, they approached the pomegranate carefully, ready to collect it. However, at this moment, a powerful energy wave burst out from the pomegranate, shocking everyone back.
Lin Zhi and Zhang Yingzheng led an expedition team to explore unknown areas in search of the legendary mineralization phenomenon. This is not only to satisfy human curiosity about the unknown, but also to find key resources that can help humans and Zerg coexist peacefully in this alien world full of strange creatures and complex ecology.
Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai walked in the front of the team. They were agile and carried heavy equipment, but they still walked lightly. Wang Jun's eyes were sharp and he was always alert to the movements around him, while Wang Kai stopped from time to time and used his sensitive tentacles to feel the pulse of the earth, as if he could talk to the land.
"Brother, I feel an unusual energy fluctuation ahead." Wang Kai whispered to Wang Jun, his voice switching freely between Zerg language and human language. This is a unique ability after the fusion of Zerg and humans.
Wang Jun nodded, signaling the team to slow down, and at the same time sent a signal to Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying. The two quickly came to the front and walked side by side with the Zerg brothers. Lin Zhi held a special energy detector, and the flashing indicator light on the screen indicated that they were approaching the target.
"It seems we have found the right place." Zhang Ying looked around. The vegetation here was sparser than in other places. Some strange stones were scattered on the bare ground. The surface of these stones was covered with a layer of faint fluorescence, which looked particularly mysterious in the afterglow of the setting sun.
As the team went deeper, they came to the edge of a huge mine. Inside the mine, countless stones emitted a soft light, like stars falling into the mortal world, illuminating the entire space like a dream. This was the legendary mineralization phenomenon, a strange substance that could transform ordinary rocks into powerful energy.
"Everyone, be careful. There may be unknown dangers hidden here." Lin Zhi reminded, and at the same time activated the scanning function of the detector and began to analyze the composition of these stones.
At this moment, a low roar came from deep in the mine, accompanied by a slight vibration of the ground. The four Zerg brothers and sisters - Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua, Li Li, as well as Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan quickly gathered around Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying, their eyes showing both nervousness and excitement, ready to deal with possible challenges.
"It's a Zerg creature!" Li Ming was the first to notice the movement. His sight penetrated through the layers of fluorescent light and caught a glimpse of a huge Zerg creature slowly crawling out from the depths of the mine. The appearance of this creature was completely different from that of ordinary Zerg creatures. Its shell was harder and shone with a metallic luster. Its eyes were like burning flames, revealing a power that should not be underestimated.
"It seems that these mineralized substances are not only attractive to humans, but also to Zerg." Zhang Ying said in a deep voice. She quickly assessed the strength comparison between the two sides and prepared to formulate a response strategy.
Wang Jun and Wang Kai looked at each other. They understood each other's meaning without saying anything. The two brothers jumped down the mine at the same time and rushed towards the huge Zerg creature. Their movements were swift and powerful, like two lightning bolts, instantly closing the distance with the target.
The battle was about to start. Wang Jun wielded the energy blade and engaged in a fierce battle with the Zerg creatures; while Wang Kai used his agility and speed to constantly look for the opponent's flaws. The four Zerg brothers and sisters also joined the battle. They each displayed their unique Zerg skills, which cooperated with Li?'s long-range attack, Li Ming's defensive aura, Li Hua's healing light, and Li Li's confusion to form an indestructible line of defense.
Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying stood aside, paying close attention to the changes in the battle situation, ready to provide support at any time. They knew that this battle was not only a test of their strength, but also an important test of whether humans and Zerg could coexist peacefully on this land.
As the battle deepened, the huge Zerg creature gradually showed signs of fatigue. It seemed to realize that it could not resist this group of brave explorers on its own. At this moment, an unexpected situation occurred - the fluorescence deep in the mine suddenly became more dazzling, and a powerful energy wave surged out, instantly enveloping the Zerg creature.
When the light faded, the creature had collapsed to the ground, its shell covered with a layer of faint fluorescence, as if it had also been mineralized. The stones in the mine also glowed softer, as if celebrating the end of the battle.
"It seems that these mineralized substances not only possess powerful strength, but also some unknown wisdom." Lin Zhi sighed, her eyes flashing with curiosity and awe of the unknown.
Zhang Ying nodded. She looked at Wang Jun, Wang Kai, and the four Zerg brothers and sisters. Their faces were filled with joy of victory, but at the same time they also revealed deep respect for this land.
"We have found the answer and new hope." Zhang Ying said softly. She knew that this adventure was just the beginning and the story between humans and Zerg was far from over.
Looking down at the vast expanse of black mining area below. In the mining area, the ore is piled up like a mountain, emitting a faint blue light, like a ghost in the night. This is a rare mineral vein in the Zerg world. It is said that it contains a magical substance called "ore graphite", which is the key material for building advanced Zerg weapons and warships.
Zhang Ying followed closely behind Lin Zhi, holding a sharp dagger in his hand, and looked around vigilantly. Dangers are everywhere in the Zerg world. Even in the daytime, ferocious beasts or hostile Zerg tribes may suddenly appear. As Lin Zhi's loyal partner, Zhang Ying is always ready to deal with any emergency.
"Linzhi, are you sure this is the graphite mineral we are looking for?" Zhang Ying asked in a low voice, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Lin Zhi nodded, her eyes firm: "Yes, I found this mining area based on the records in the ancient books. The color and smell of the ore graphite are exactly the same as described in the ancient books."
Just as the two were about to enter the mining area, a low roar came from deep in the mining area. Then, several figures rushed out from the darkness. They were the Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai.
Wang Jun held a huge battle axe, while Wang Kai carried a heavy shield, and both of them exuded a fighting aura. When they saw Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying, a flash of surprise flashed in their eyes, and then they regained their composure.
"It's you, Linzhi and Zhang Ying. What are you doing here?" Wang Jun's voice was deep and powerful, with a hint of questioning.
Lin Zhi smiled and explained, "We are here to find graphite ore to build more powerful weapons to deal with the upcoming Zerg war."
Wang Kai frowned when he heard this: "Mineral graphite is a rare commodity. Are you sure you have the ability to mine it?"
Lin Zhi is full of confidence: "Of course, we not only have a plan, but also helpers."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of light footsteps from the other side of the mining area. The four Zerg brothers and sisters, Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua and Li Li, as well as Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan, emerged from their hiding places. They each held a weapon, their eyes full of fighting spirit.
Li? stepped forward and said, "Linzhi, we are here to help you. Graphite ore is not only important to us Zerg, but also to the entire human world."
Lin Zhi nodded gratefully and began to assign tasks: "Wang Jun, Wang Kai, you are responsible for guarding the surroundings to prevent enemy sneak attacks. Li?, Li Ming, you lead a group of people to mine ore. Li Hua, Li Li, you are responsible for transportation. Hua Yuan, Zhang Yuan, you work with me to study the method of refining graphite."
Everyone nodded and quickly took action. The mining area suddenly became busy, with Zerg and humans working together for a common goal.
Lin Zhi, Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan came to a pile of ore and began to carefully observe the texture of the ore graphite. The ore graphite showed a strange black color, with a faint blue light on the surface, as if it contained some mysterious power.
"This ore is extremely hard, so it may not be easy to refine." Hua Yuan said with a frown.
Zhang Yuan picked up a piece of ore and gently scraped the surface with a short knife. He said, "But as long as we find the right method, we will be able to extract pure ore graphite."
Lin Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "I remember that ancient books mentioned a special refining method that requires a plant called 'blazing grass'. This plant grows near the crater near the mining area. Maybe we can give it a try."
Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes, and they immediately decided to go to the crater to look for the Blazing Grass.
At the same time, other people in the mining area were also busy. Wang Jun and Wang Kai patrolled the mining area, vigilantly observing the movements around them. Li Yu and Li Ming led a group of Zerg warriors to mine ore with special tools. Li Hua and Li Li directed the transportation team to transport the mined ore to the designated location.
As time went by, the ore piles in the mining area gradually decreased, while the refined ore graphite increased. After countless attempts and failures, Lin Zhi, Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan finally found the correct refining method. They successfully refined the ore into pure ore graphite, which shone brightly in the sun.
When night fell, the work in the mine finally came to an end. The Zerg and humans sat together, sharing their stories and experiences. Although they came from different races, they were as close as a family at this moment.
Lin Zhi looked at everyone, his heart filled with gratitude and pride. He knew that it was because of these brave and fearless companions that they were able to gain a foothold in this strange Zerg world and fight for a common goal.
"Thank you everyone, we will definitely succeed!" Lin Zhi raised the mineral graphite in his hand and shouted loudly.
Everyone responded, raised their weapons or ores, and shouted slogans of victory. Their voices echoed in the night sky, as if announcing their determination and courage to the entire Zerg world.
