These gases come from the depths of the Yinghuo Earth's crust and contain a large amount of mixed toxins, but are colorless and odorless. They quietly permeate the mine until they touch the protective layer of water skin that wraps Gao Xingyu's body.
The protective layer of hydroskin is usually just a thin transparent water film, covering the body in all directions, making it inconspicuous. At this time, when encountering the highly toxic gas, the water film rolled up like a boiling pot, making a crackling sound and bursts of black smoke.
This is the effect caused by the poisonous gas triggering the purification function of water skin. This is also the reason why Gao Xingyu often uses water skin to protect himself.
Although the pure defensive power of Water Skin Technique is not as good as Golden Armor Technique, Wooden Shield Technique, or Stone Skin Technique and other defensive techniques, after refining the body to reach the Silver Blood Realm, and practicing the Nine Nine Mysteries Gao Xingyu, who mastered the Second Transformation Technique, did not care about the added defense power, but valued the isolation and purification effects brought by the Water Skin Technique.
Although Yinghuo has a thin atmosphere, the oxygen content is extremely low. Although Gao Xingyu can use the Fetal Breath Technique to survive here, in order to ensure sufficient combat effectiveness to deal with unknown dangers, it is better to use the Turtle Breath Technique within the Water Skin Technique.
There is a certain isolation space between the water film of the Water Skin Technique and the body, and the oxygen inside is enough to support the normal consumption of Gao Xingyu who uses the Turtle Breath Technique for most of the day.
Gao Xingyu was able to persist on Yinghuo for so many days by taking advantage of the characteristics of the Water Skin Technique and the fact that he would open the Xingyu Xiaozhu every half day to ventilate.
Yinghuo's atmosphere is not friendly to humans. These days, Tiangao Xingyu often encounters small waves of poisonous gas, which are all quietly purified by the water skin technique. This was the first time he encountered poisonous gas that was as violent and pointed as it was now.
Yinghuo's own magnetic field is very weak, so various energies in space often pass by Yinghuo's surface, and many of them are extremely lethal to the consciousness.
For the sake of safety, Gao Xingyu did not dare to let his consciousness go too far. In fact, the spiritual consciousness has little effect here. This is the vein of Yinghuo Magnetic Crystal, and the spiritual consciousness is greatly disturbed.
However, most monks are accustomed to using spiritual consciousness as their first choice for observing the environment. Even though he was greatly disturbed, Gao Xingyu still released his spiritual consciousness about a hundred meters away from him, which was better than nothing.
However, spiritual consciousness cannot detect this kind of poisonous gas without energy fluctuations. It was not until the poisonous gas came into contact with the water film of the Water Skin Technique, stimulating purification that Gao Xingyu realized the problem.
Fortunately, he had a plan to deal with it. Just as the water skin technique began to purify the poisonous gas, he flashed and teleported and appeared in the mine tunnel fifty meters away.
There is no poisonous gas here, or in other words, the poisonous gas has not spread here yet. Gao Xingyu opened his eyes, looked carefully, and quickly found the source of the problem.
It turns out that there are several ore-eating monsters hidden under the Yinghuo Magnetic Crystal Mine. It was these ore-eating monsters that attracted poisonous gas from the underground and wanted to attack Gao Xingyu.
The ore-eating monster is a natural spirit with intelligence.The quotient is not high. Their bodies are made of special energy and have no fixed shape. They can travel through gaps and are not affected by temperature.
They live and move in space in the form of small groups, feeding on various minerals on planets or meteorites.
Most of the planets where monks live have planet-level defense formations that cannot be entered by ore-eating monsters.
So, they will only appear on unattended planets or meteorite mining sites. Ordinary people will never encounter them at all if they don't go to extraterrestrial mining.
The level of the ore-eating monsters is not high. Most of them are only equivalent to the Qi-raising period. The leader of a small group is equivalent to the Qi-training period.
The ore-eating monsters themselves do not have many means of attack and defense. Their most common method is to guide underground poisonous gas. Some boss-level ore-eating monsters can cause partial collapse of the mine tunnels to prevent ordinary Human miners mine minerals.
Ore-eating monsters are typical of the five scum of war.
If they encounter monks, even the lowest level monks in the Qi-nourishing stage, as long as they are careful and careful, they will not cause much harm.
Although the ore-eating monsters will compete with humans for minerals , but monks rarely kill ore-eating monsters on a large scale. Because ore-eating monsters are born spirits, their bodies will decompose into energy and dissipate after death. There is no gain for monks by killing them.
Moreover, although the ore-eating monsters swallow the minerals, they will also leave behind the parts they cannot digest, which are more advanced mineral essences. In other words, they are equivalent to upgrading ordinary minerals into more advanced minerals according to a certain proportion.
Although this ratio is very low, and the ratios of different minerals are also different. According to the value of the mineral before and after, it is not necessarily cost-effective, but for the monks, it is more cost-effective than purifying the materials by themselves. To save trouble.
This is especially true for minerals with large reserves and low value. Take the commonly used black iron as an example. Natural black iron ore is relatively rare and can only be found in some extreme environments, but there are many ordinary iron ores.
Under normal circumstances, it takes about a hundred tons of iron ore to extract one pound of dark iron, which requires monks to spend a lot of time, energy, and a lot of vitality.
Therefore, spiritual miners often receive a business, which is to completely seal a specific mining area with a formation, and specially raise a group of ore-eating monsters inside to improve the level of minerals.
However, this kind of work is based on a hundred years as a time unit, and it is normal for uu to read books for thousands of years. Only those sects and families with long-term vision and strong strength will do this.
Gao Xingyu didn’t even think about taking action against the few ore-eating monsters here. He just released the seal on his own acupoints, letting the huge power of Qi and blood emerge, and lightly scolded "Go away"
A few ore-eating monsters were frightened and hurriedly hid along the cracks. Deep in the veins.
Gao Xingyu didn’t take it seriously and collected the Yinghuo magnetic crystal raw ore from the mine on his own.
Due to the existence of ore-eating monsters, the raw ore in this mine nestThe amount of stone was more than half less than that of the previous mine, but the quality of a few pieces of raw ore was significantly higher than that of normal ore, which was considered an unexpected gain for Gao Xingyu.
Gao Xingyu worked hard at this mining site for nearly a month and collected two mining nests in total, fully realizing the purpose of his trip.
It’s not that he can’t continue to persevere, but in this environment, if he uses Xingyu Xiaozhu frequently, it will cause greater damage to Xingyu Xiaozhu. Compared with collecting more When it comes to minerals, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses.
So, one month after reaching Yinghuo, he activated the teleportation array again and returned to the moon.
Gao Xingyu left the teleportation array, first greeted the unknown senior with his spiritual consciousness, then sat cross-legged on the bluestone square and began to meditate and adjust his breath.
The month-long trip to Yinghuo left some hidden wounds on his body, and he was even more exhausted mentally.
Monks are not afraid of loneliness, but in a strange and dangerous environment, it is very tiring for a person to be on high alert all the time.
If nothing else, when monks go out on adventures, they usually form teams
