Chapter 279 Black Devil
The view is locked on the top of Uluru.
This is a cave deep underground in the mountains between Yaocheng and Yancheng. After entering the specific underground scene, the original third-person tilted perspective changes to a horizontal perspective.
The picture is dark, with only the three people at Uluru emitting a faint light.
In front of them was a T-shaped black quagmire with a small puddle at the top and the bottom extending to invisible depths underground.
"Mr. Uluru, the black magic still cannot be collected."
A pixelated man holding a torch nearby said, "The dark demon is heavy and slippery, and it seems to be able to sense us. If we try to get close, it will seep underground."
Another trogg with a backpack added: "It's dangerous. Troggs have legends about this underground black water. They come and go without a trace, can go through walls, steal stored food, and leave oil all over the ground."
Uluru showed a mess on its head.
He raised the writing board in his hand and a dialog box popped up.
"Black mud is born from black demons. Many people in the Wuji tribe have seen black demons, but if anyone tries to touch or collect them, the black demons will disappear without a trace."
"I consulted Lord Zelkuk of Uda City, and he also said that the black demon itself has a special structure and likes hot areas. Usually, the areas where the black demon appears are accompanied by fire wells, which are very dangerous."
"You have to be careful not to bring torches near the cracks to avoid a fire well erupting."
He instructed the two assistants who were accompanying him.
Lu Yao clicked on the black demon in the depression.
…
【Dark Magic LV46】
HP: 17566/17566 Mana: 0/0 Damage: 0 Defense: 25 Speed: 50 [Fusion]
There will be integration among the same kind, which will then give them greater expansion and living space.
【Deep Extraction】
The encapsulated substance will be extracted and purified, and the extraction effect depends on the level of this ability and the level of the black magic.
[Corruption Secret LV2]
It grows further by consuming dead bodies or decaying matter.
【Crazy Excreter】
Unwanted impurities are continuously eliminated from the body.
…
The black demon looks like a pool of black mud, but is essentially a living creature.
Because the black devil moves too fast underground, the current artificial tools and even the apostles of the Yao civilization are unable to capture it. At best, they can observe it like Uluru, but cannot obtain actual living samples.
If Lu Yao hadn't been able to check the backend encyclopedia, he would have been able to only sigh in despair.
This group of black demons like warm and hot places and have a strong desire for food. They are relatively primitive underground life forms and act on instinct, so the only way to deal with them is to target their instinctive desires.
Lu Yao thought of the place where the black demon was placed.
[The Fire of Aegir].
He gave the capture task to Slemmod, and also tested the practical ability of this master.
After receiving the order, Slemord's incarnation quickly arrived at the scene.
When they saw the green-clothed man suddenly appearing from the ground, Uluru and the other two all had exclamation marks in their heads and took a step back.
"Please don't be nervous. I'm here to help you deal with the Dark One."
"First of all, thank you for your investigation and investment. Although the black devil is not aggressive, it has its own characteristics, so we must use appropriate methods to make it obedient."
"Now let me try."
A large group of identical men in green arrived.
They had clear division of labor. Some led the sandworms to carry a large amount of supplies, some began to install the gas stove, some made marks on the ground, some surveyed the location, and some specifically observed the situation of the black magic...
The people in green each performed their duties, as if they were using one's arms and fingers.
Uluru asked: "Excuse me, who are you?"
"I forgot to introduce myself."
One of Slymode's limbs said to them, "Nice to meet you. My name is Slymode, and I am the apostle of Lord Yaoshen."
The three Uluru were startled and quickly called him "Apostle".
The Slymods are ready and begin the capture.
They placed a large amount of rotten matter along the way to lure the black devil in, and with the help of steam furnaces to increase the temperature, they gradually lured the black devil over from its original position.
The sandworms were beating and digging in front, while the Slemmods were pulling the dark magic, moving slowly all the way underground, and finally arriving under the Fire of Aegir.
As soon as he got close to this place, the black devil became excited. A large amount of black grease seeped out from the ground and poured into the ground, like a black fountain with many bubbles coming out of the fountain.
A light bulb lit up above Uluru's head as he watched the entire process, as if he understood the key.
"My work is done, everyone."
Slymod told them: "You have already seen the method. Use the rotten things that the Dark Demon likes as bait, and then continue to increase the surrounding temperature, and you can make the Dark Demon move in this direction."
"It is a strange life form. In addition to being a scavenger, it also likes high temperature environments very much."
"And the most suitable place for the Black Mage at the moment is naturally the wonder of volcanoes."
"The rest is up to you. Please be safe. Thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, many people in green quickly left the scene and soon disappeared without a trace.
The three people left looked at each other.
Lu Yao was very satisfied with Slemmod's action.
He not only imparted key experiences and methods to Uluru and others, but also ensured that this group of discoverers did not lose their sense of participation. He did the guidance and inspiration work that an apostle should do, and the whole process was efficient and concise.
Uluru conducted follow-up research on the Black Devil.
Black mud has always been the safety clothing of the Wuji people, and the more the better. As more and more Wuji people appear on the ground, their demand for black mud is increasing day by day.
However, the reserve excavation in Wuda City could not keep up with the growing daily needs of the Wuji people, resulting in many Wuji people wanting to come to the surface but lacking the opportunity and conditions.
Now, at last, there is a solution.
The black demon settled under the volcano and began to spit out large amounts of black mud.
As long as it devours decaying matter, the Black Devil will secrete black mud until it is partially saturated and then it will fall into a short rest state. After it recovers, the process will continue again.
The bottleneck that restricted the Wuji people from moving to various places was finally broken this time.
While I was excited about Uluru, thoughts were popping up in my head.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"It turns out that the black mud is the product of the black devil eliminating impurities after eating food."
"Since the black mud excreted by the black devil can be used, what about the oil?"
After the black devil eats, it secretes black mud and also produces a lot of light yellow clear oil.
Uluru collected the oil and discovered that it was a higher-grade fuel that was better than coal. Just a little bit of oil could keep the flame going for a long time.
The game interface is also displayed.
【Magic oil discovered in Uluru. 】
Lu Yao thought to himself that this was right.
I will point you in a direction, but how far you can go and what route you can take is up to you.
In fact, there is no record of magic oil in the Golden Wilderness backend encyclopedia. The entry for magic oil only officially appeared after the discovery of Uluru, and the introduction and description completely repeated the conclusions of the Uluru experiment.
This proves that the pixel people are both the experiencers of the Yao civilization and the writers of world records.
But what Lu Yao himself is most looking forward to is the [Deep Extraction] effect of the Black Magic.
Judging from the description, this is definitely an advanced refining ability.
The development of Yao civilization in various fields has begun initially. The breadth is sufficient, but the precision is still relatively poor.
High-precision technology and deep cognition require long-term cultivation and experimentation, and there is no point in being anxious. I wonder if [Deep Extraction] can shorten this process in some way.
Lu Yao observed the pixel world.
Not long after, just as he expected, the Yao clan further developed the development of the black magic.
The refining and removal of impurities from metals can all be accomplished by the Black Magic—as long as it is given food and the surrounding temperature is kept high enough.
The Black Devil would swallow up iron ingots and copper blocks, and then quickly spit them out. Metals were not in its diet. The copper and iron extracted by the Black Devil were smaller, and a large number of impurities were stripped out, turning them into metals of very high purity.
This immediately attracted the dwarf Hammer Endless.
As a skilled craftsman, you must try a material purifier like the Black Magic.
Hammer Wujin made a bold attempt and threw a set of double-city armor into the quagmire formed by the black magic. Not long after, the armor was spit out and scattered into copper pieces on the ground.
The dwarf did not give up. He changed his method and disassembled the double-fortress armor, put in the most basic parts, extracted them repeatedly, and then reforged and reshaped them and assembled them together...
After repeated trials and busywork, a laughing expression appeared on the dwarf's forehead: "It really works!"
"What an amazing, incredible guy!"
"From now on, we have the best refining master!"
Hammer Infinity held the refined double-city armor and danced happily with the armor.
Lu Yao clicked on the armor.
…
[Double City Armor LV2]: A fine armor covering the entire body. After extraction and refining, you will gain [Heavy Strike LV1] after equipping it.
HP: 480/480 Defense +5 ……
Refining increases the Double City Armor's health by +80 and its defense by +2, which is a significant improvement.
Lu Yao never thought that deep extraction could actually strengthen equipment.
He couldn't help but wonder if the dozens of fire items in his bag could also be used. Lu Yao found one and tried it, but the black demon swallowed it in one gulp and almost digested it. He quickly put it back into the prop column.
One of the causes of black magic is the fire item, which is a rare nutritional supplement for it.
The plan to refine the fire props has failed.
Not long after, the pixel people of the Yao clan dismantled the [Brass Furnace Dragon] and used black magic to extract and reshape the metal skeleton and torso. The name was also changed to [Brass Furnace Dragon LV2], and all data were slightly improved.
From then on, black magic refining gradually became a conventional processing method and was widely used in the manufacture of various props and devices.
Geologists and archaeologists also kept an eye out for traces of other dark demons, and used the methods taught by Slemmod to gather them one by one under the Fire of Aegir.
The dark demons merged with each other, their levels became higher and higher, and their abilities gradually increased.
…
At this time, Lu Yao had already turned his attention to the outside world.
The Yao clan world has entered an unprecedented period of rapid development. With the apostles in charge, there is no need to worry. The current focus is on creating an external environment for the external circulation of civilization.
After repeated consideration, Lu Yao decided to build a new pilot city in Yunzhong Temple as a bridge and link connecting with the outside world's kingdom of God.
