Chapter 762 Chapter 764 Drones and Robots
Rong Xianxian took a few steps back and retreated outside the colorful mist. The current situation was that as long as she did not covet the treasures inside, she could leave alive. However, the treasures inside were not ordinary treasures. There were soul stones that could be used to refine divine artifacts.
Rong Xianxian returned to the foggy space and began to look through the books she had collected. After flipping through all the books in her hand, she finally found a detailed record of the soul-attached stone in a book called "Records of Ancient Curiosities".
The Soul Stone can be said to be a special product that was born under extremely accidental circumstances. Its number is extremely small, and a Soul Stone that can only absorb wandering souls is of no use. However, once a Soul Stone grows to the point where it can absorb living souls, it becomes extremely terrifying. A soul tomb will form in the area where the Soul Stone is located, and any living creature that enters the range of the soul fog will have its souls sucked away, becoming nutrients for the growth of the Soul Stone.
There is a line of small words below the explanation of the Soul Stone. A mechanical puppet master once tried to use the puppet he had successfully refined after spending countless efforts to obtain the Soul Stone. In the end, he found that the soul mist would decompose the spirit stone, and the puppet would never return.
Rong Xianxian looked up at the valley in front of her. It stretched for dozens of miles. The colorful fog became thicker as she went deeper. There were dozens of caves, large and small, like the one she had just seen. Only by passing through each cave could she reach deeper places. The Soul Attachment Stone must be in the most dangerous place.
Rong Xianxian frowned and thought, then found a drone from the warehouse and left the foggy space with the drone. Soul fog can decompose spirit stones, but she wondered if it could decompose the batteries used in the drone?
Rong Xianxian made simple arrangements around her, put on flight goggles connected to the drone, and controlled the drone to fly into the colorful fog. The drone's perspective is also called the God's perspective. Rong Xianxian saw a shocking picture through the flight goggles.
Looking from the air, in the surging colorful mist, dense creatures were standing or lying all over the valley. Rong Xianxian controlled the drone to fly into a cave. It was pitch black inside the cave. Turning on the night vision light, she could vaguely see through the mist that there was slippery moss everywhere, and there was light flickering under the moss. The drone landed, and Rong Xianxian operated the slender metal hook under the wing of the drone, carefully pushing away the wet moss, only to see a stone underneath. The light was emitted from the inside of the stone, and it shone even more under the night vision light. The stone was surrounded by rich spiritual energy, but this was definitely not a soul-attached stone, because there was no soul power fluctuation around the stone.
After retracting the hook, the drone continued to explore deeper into the cave. Along the way, it encountered many stones emitting rich spiritual energy, as well as some dark-colored plants that also emanated spiritual energy. The deeper it went, the lower the terrain became. The thermometer directly in front of the drone changed from white to yellow, and from yellow to red, indicating that the temperature in the cave was rising rapidly. The terrain changed, and the environment in the cave changed greatly. The originally wet rock wall became dry, and many irregular pits appeared on the rock wall. Occasionally, shiny gems appeared in the pits. Rong Xianxian did not care about these things that obviously had no soul power fluctuations, and controlled the drone to continue exploring forward. Just when the drone's range was at the value of thirty miles, with a "puff", Rong Xianxian felt something sprayed into her eyes. After closing her eyes and opening them again, she found that everything was pitch black in front of her. The lens in front of the drone that transmitted the image to the flight goggles seemed to be blocked by something. Rong Xianxian took off the flight goggles, controlled the drone back, and estimated the approximate location. On the way back, she brought back a stone with the hook carried by the drone.
After the drone returned, Rong Xianxian inspected it and found that although the drone was still usable, its surface had become bumpy and severely damaged.
According to the data recorded on the drone, the average temperature of the area explored by the drone reached over 100 degrees Celsius, and the temperature increased as it went deeper. Fortunately, the materials used in the drones developed by the military are resistant to high temperatures, otherwise they would have melted long ago. The lens was damaged because strong acid liquid splashed onto the lens, and the serious damage to the surface of the drone was also related to the strong acid liquid.
As for the stone that the drone brought back, it was a spirit stone with highly concentrated spiritual energy. The world of immortal cultivation generally divides the grade of spirit stones according to the concentration of spiritual energy contained in the spirit stone. Spirit crystals and low-grade spirit stones are the most common, while high-grade spirit stones are very rare. The spiritual energy in this spirit stone is much higher than that of high-grade spirit stones of the same level.
Although the soul-attached stone has not been found yet, these super-grade spirit stones cannot be wasted. Rong Xianxian controlled the drone to continue exploring the next cave, while moving two robots out of the foggy space and setting up the programs. Then, the agile robots were seen dragging a small trailer towards the cave that the drone had just explored.
After previous experiences and drone exploration, Rong Xianxian has preliminarily concluded that the most dangerous thing about this area is that the soul fog will erode the memories of living beings, causing them to hallucinate, and will also decompose the spiritual energy in their bodies, causing it to overflow. After all living beings are eroded by the soul fog, their souls will then be stripped away by the soul-attached stone and disintegrated and absorbed.
Drones and robots are not living beings, nor are they powered by spiritual energy, so the ubiquitous soul fog has no effect on them at all, and the high temperature and corrosive liquids in the cave cannot cause devastating damage to them.
Rong Xianxian holds a military post and was ordered by the military to explore the alien world, so naturally she received full support from the military. She has all the top thermal weapons that a single person can use. In addition, she also has fighter jets, new kinetic submarines, robots, flying skateboards, drones, soul-catching bells, and various types of aura detectors.
Drones were exploring, robots were mining, and the two worked together to move quickly. Rong Xianxian looked at the pile of stones in front of her that were emitting a strong spiritual energy, and she felt a golden light flashing in front of her. How did the situation that should have been extremely difficult suddenly become simple? It was like switching between hell mode and novice village.
Although the soul-attaching stone has not been found yet, with the collection of large amounts of spirit stones, soul-fixing essence stones, and various gemstones, the scope of the soul fog has tended to shrink. The bodies of the living creatures that are first exposed to the soul fog will decay into dust and disappear into ashes.
The exploration on the drone side was proceeding in an orderly manner. Rong Xianxian carefully checked the various stones collected by the robot, sorted them out, and put them into the sachet space. However, the sachet space was originally not large, and it also needed to carry the necessary weapons, medicines and survival supplies, so it was soon filled up. Rong Xianxian had to put some spirit stones into the foggy space.
