111 Days of Scavenging

The little robot was stunned by the sudden thought that popped into its head.

Unexpectedly, this opportunity related to "minerals" came about here.

However, upon closer examination, it makes sense. If he simply puts minerals into the small world, then he can only put in as many as he wants, and once they are in, they cannot continue to grow.

This is not something generated by the small world itself.

However, letting a rock dragon in is a different story.

Rock dragons can create their own mineral veins, and the types of minerals they produce are not limited to a single type, making it highly random. This is a more fitting kind of opportunity.

Just like when he previously used Beast Heart Crystals to refine the recycling bins.

The original recycling bins, even if they could house animals, would only be for simple breeding. However, the small world fused with the Beast Heart Crystal can generate life from nothing. The ecosystem will gradually improve itself, rather than being artificially created.

This is more in line with the word "world".

only……

The little robot looked at the large group of rock dragons in front of it and felt a bit of a headache.

As mentioned before, rock dragons are social creatures, so if I really want to bring them to live in my own little world, I definitely can't just have one. I'll need at least ten.

I can let go of them, but how can I get them to agree?

If we were to forcibly capture it, given its enormous size, it would obviously be difficult.

While considering these questions, the little robot's hands moved without hesitation. Following Ding Yi's instructions, it changed formation with its fellow disciples, switching from surrounding the rock dragon to driving it away from one side.

Rock dragons, which dislike moisture, will instinctively move towards areas without water vapor.

Once the rock dragon herd started moving, things became much easier for them.

Basically, this group doesn't stop moving around much. All they need to do is control the direction the rock dragons are heading and guide them to the correct location, and that's it.

However, it's clear that the group didn't come to do this task for just that reason.

So, once they were sure they could loosen their grip on the Rock Dragon group, everyone spontaneously scattered and began collecting ore from the area where the Rock Dragons had been.

This is the most important reason why they came here to take on this mission!

Judging from the situation, these rock dragons have been lost here for some time. Perhaps they'll even find some unique and rare ores.

The little robot did not follow.

He originally had this plan, but unfortunately, his primary target now is not these ores, but the group of rock dragons.

So the little robot volunteered to oversee the Rock Dragon's direction of travel, allowing his fellow disciples to collect ore with peace of mind.

After confirming that the little robots were not in a hurry to use the ore, Ding Yi and the others stopped delaying. In any case, the task of supervising the direction of the Rock Dragon was to be done in shifts, and given their slow pace, there was no need to worry about them falling behind.

The little robot was originally following the Rock Dragon team on a flying sword, but after a while, it simply chose a larger one and landed on its head.

The rock dragon seemed to be scratching an itch when attacked, and it offered no resistance to the light-footed human standing on its head, letting the little robot stand or sit as it pleased without any regard.

The little robot tried to talk to the rock dragon.

Would you like to live in a different world?

Rock Dragon: "..."

He didn't make a sound.

"There are no humans in that world yet, so you can choose any place you want, okay?"

Yanlong remained silent.

"Why don't you come and take a look at my little world first? If you don't think it's suitable, then I'll release you out, okay?"

Yanlong remained silent.

Little robot: "..."

He felt somewhat helpless.

Come to think of it, there doesn't seem to be any record of this creature making any sounds in previous information about Rock Dragons, right? Don't they know how to talk? If so, how do they communicate within their own groups?

The little robot reactivated its internal programs and began searching for any unusual wavelengths in the vicinity using scientific methods.

And you know what? I actually found a few segments, and the frequency bands were very regular, so they were clearly not useless.

He began to crack it.

I never imagined that science could play such a significant role in the world of cultivation.

Soon, the little robot deciphered these frequency bands. After some adjustments, when it opened its mouth again, only the shape of its mouth could be seen, and no sound could be heard. However, with special instruments, frequencies in the air similar to the original frequency bands could be seen.

The rock dragon, which was being used as a mount by the little robot, was the first to react.

Its slow pace paused, and then the little robot heard the rock dragon's response.

It's asking who made the sound.

Clearly, this wave wasn't a familiar member of their group; the rock dragon probably thought it was one of the other rock dragons that had wandered off by mistake.

Now that we've successfully established communication, things will be much easier from here on out.

The little robot first identified itself, and amidst the rock dragons' shock that a human could communicate with them, it explained its intentions, stating that it wanted them to settle in its little world.

Most creatures in this world are familiar with the existence of secret realms.

Rock dragons are not picky about their living environment; apart from disliking excessive humidity, they are happy to go anywhere.

The little robot talked to them, introducing the environment of its little world, and showing the rock dragons the crystals, spiritual energy clusters, and other things in its little world, finally persuading them.

These rock dragons are a group, and they have expressed their willingness to all settle in the little robot's little world.

The little robot was naturally very happy about this.

However, the Rock Dragons did not plan to go now. They wanted to go home, saying that the previous batch of Rock Dragon eggs was almost ready to hatch, and since they were going to the Small World, they had to take the Rock Dragon eggs with them.

The little robot naturally wouldn't disagree.

At most, his original plan was to guide the rock dragons to the correct path and then continue his training alone. Now, he's just going to continue with the rock dragons.

It's nothing serious.

After this agreement was reached, JSG's days became even more leisurely.

With small robots that can communicate with the rock dragons, these creatures are no longer afraid of even their weakness of easily getting lost.

After more than two months, the group, including Yanlong, finally embarked on the correct route.

Ding Yi and the others' mustard seed spaces were already filled with various ores. They even refined a few more along the way to store them.

Seeing that the mission was finally over, everyone planned to return to the mountain gate as soon as possible to refine the ores.

"Then we'll be leaving now. Junior brother, please be careful on your own. If anything happens, please let us know." Ding Yi bid farewell to the little robot and the others.

They knew when they set off on this mission that Najitong wouldn't return to the mountain with them after the Rock Dragon mission ended, but would continue training. Now, he's just going home with the Rock Dragons, so there's not much difference.

After seeing off their fellow disciples, the little robot's communication with Yanlong became increasingly undisguised.

He would also occasionally release a few rock dragons into the small world, letting them choose where they wanted to live.

They continued on their journey, and soon the machine and the rock dragons arrived at the Land of a Thousand Ravines.

The land of a thousand ravines is barren, devoid of any greenery as far as the eye can see. Sharp rocky mountains and loess are everywhere, with layers of cliffs like forests, as if all the stones in the world have been piled up here.

But if you brush away the yellow sand and look closely, you can see that this place is not all stone; in fact, strictly speaking, there are more mineral deposits than stones.

Further ahead lies the place where the rock dragons lay their eggs, but the little robot didn't follow.

Even if a rock dragon is gentle, it is easy for it to be attacked if it enters such a place where offspring are conceived.

The little robot handed the teleportation scroll to the rock dragons, telling them to just pack their things and come in.

Since the little robot had come to this place, it naturally wanted to find out if it could find any minerals it needed.

The little robot wasn't greedy for ores, nor did it specifically seek out rare and precious ones. It just thought that since it had come all this way, it would be good to bring back some local specialties to give to its masters.

The eldest master is currently forging a fire fan. If I could find something similar to Azure Flame Stone, I could give it to the Grand Elder. The sect leader mentioned the other day that he was short a few drops of spirit stone milk; this kind of mineral vein should have enough, so I could take some back with me. And what about the second master…?

The little robot planned its mission while simultaneously embarking on its treasure hunt.
