49 Days of Scavenging

On the thirteenth day after entering the Quinsferry Mountains, the little JSG robot and the Black Star Adventure Team finally arrived at the latter's mission destination.

This is a ruin.

However, this ruin isn't entirely unexplored; on the contrary, many believe it might hold some treasure, and adventure groups frequently come here to search. Now, besides the ruins, there's really nothing of value left.

Anyway, the Black Star Adventurer Group didn't come here for any relics or treasures.

Their mission is to find a type of snake that prefers to live in these ruins, and they need to collect at least three snake gallbladders. These are essential ingredients for making a magic potion.

The little robot had already heard Black Star's people talk about this new thing called "potions" along the way. They didn't try to hide anything that was common knowledge, which allowed the little robot to learn a few basic potion recipes with simple ingredients.

A single flower, half a sticky insect, and ten minutes of moonlight can make a bottle of denaturing agent.

The little robot was completely baffled by the amazing principle behind it and was incredibly curious about it.

Besides learning how to make some potions, the little robot also learned about the materials for making basic magical weapons and magic scrolls.

He learned all this from the Black Star people who kept asking him if he wanted this or that along the way.

Besides these things, the little robots along the way mostly used magical attacks.

What kind of place is this? This is the dangerous Queensferry Mountains!

Is there any danger here? Of course not. Whether it's magical beasts or magical plants, the little robots can't catch much during physical attacks, but as soon as they launch a magical attack, the little robots will seize every opportunity to catch them.

At the very beginning of their journey, the little robot wasn't entirely sure whether or not to use these magical attacks on the humans. But when it saw that the humans avoided them whenever possible and showed no intention of absorbing them, it was overjoyed.

If any of Black Star's attacks were intercepted, he would unconsciously show a look of regret.

This was arguably the safest mission the Black Star Adventure Team had ever undertaken!

Fortunately, they were all very good-natured and did not let their guard down just because the little robot had blocked the attacks for them all the way. They remained very careful throughout and never relaxed for a moment.

"Alright, everyone, split into groups of three and search for traces of the Gray Smoke Snake. Meet up again in two hours."

Sapir gave the order.

The Black Star members quickly dispersed according to their familiar roles.

The little robot naturally didn't belong to any of their groups. Sapir had already told him that he was free to move around as he pleased.

The little robot didn't disturb the humans' business, so it found a quiet spot under a tree near the meeting point and buried itself in studying how to make the potion.

Yes, he can already make his own potions, although they're just the most basic ones—the kind anyone with a little magic could make. But for the little robot, it's enough to surprise him.

After it was able to make potions step by step, the little robot started to have "crooked" ideas.

He wondered if using things from another world to make potions would produce any strange changes.

The little robot got right to work. The materials he had laid out were for making magic-boosting potions. He flipped his palm over, and another palm-sized piece of transparent plastic appeared.

This is trash collected from the last century, and plastic products make up the largest portion.

Following the instructions for making the magic potion, the little robot added the other materials step by step, finally placing a transparent plastic sheet inside.

When plastic is put into a pile of materials, it's like a drop of water being poured into a frying pan; the originally calm reaction suddenly becomes turbulent and explosive!

The little robot's eyes sparkled as it stared at the liquid in the bottle.

He could sense that the surging energy within was much more intense than before, and he didn't know what its final effect would be.

The little robot was extremely excited.

As the color of the potion in the bottle faded and faded—

"BOOM!!!"

A loud bang.

The little robot felt the trees around it shake twice.

The potion exploded?!

No, it's not.

The little robot looked into its palm and saw that the potion in the bottle had completely turned into a clear, transparent liquid, but it was much thicker than water, like a thick glue.

Although it looks completely different from the potion that increases magic power, he can sense that this potion was successfully made.

Moreover, the bottle is perfectly fine.

The explosion wasn't a problem with the potion.

The little robot raised its head.

In the center of the ruins not far away, two pillars have collapsed.

And the ground beneath the pillar is gradually rising upwards!

The little robot blinked.

Could the life scanning program be infected with a virus? Otherwise, how could it suddenly detect a huge organism underground in front of us?

It wasn't there before.

The little robot silently ran the antivirus scan.

After disinfecting, he scanned again—

That organism is still there.

Moreover, the organism, which is at least twenty meters in diameter, is getting closer and closer to the ground.

The little robot stood still, looking down at the ruins, when suddenly… an antenna emerged?!
