After a while, more than ten test tubes appeared on the table.
Lin Tao looked at these test tubes, which contained some objects of strange colors. Some still retained their dark green color, some had changed into red and green, and some had completely turned gray, like a lump of dust scraped off the wall.
There is no doubt that the whole process went smoothly. Although it was impossible to try all the contents of the "Thirty Tests" one by one, according to the current test method for each test tube, this dark green substance has also undergone more than ten tests.
Lin Tao was already 80% sure in his heart that this dark green thing was definitely the key thing used by future generations to capture the mysterious creature "Shadow".
Shadow Prison Stone! Once a creature called 'Shadow' appears, it will absorb nearby creatures into its internal space. This process is similar to human eating. If Lin Tao encounters a 'Shadow' and doesn't even have time to react, he will be absorbed into his internal space. At that time, not to mention catching the Shadow, even his own life will be in danger.
The characteristic of Shadow Stone is that it can automatically adsorb onto some special substances, just like the electronic watch on Lin Tao's wrist, and it can also block the signal of the watch.
As for the creature called "Shadow", humans have not yet figured out its structure, but they do know that Shadow Prison Stone can not only attract "Shadow" out, but also turn it into a thin film on the spot, directly trapping it in place.
Of course, if you encounter the 'Shadow' and what you hold in your hand is not the real Shadow Prison Stone, then it will be split into pieces by the 'Shadow' on the spot and absorbed into its internal space.
After the Shadow Prison Stone trapped the Shadow, all that was needed was one more thing to completely imprison the creature.
That substance is called the Forbidden Shadow Stone, and it has been growing near the Shadow Prison Stone for many years.
After he felt relieved, Lin Tao turned around and said, "Zheng Cheng, call Brother Luo over."
"Brother Luo?" Zheng Cheng was stunned.
Lin Tao immediately realized that he hadn't asked Luo Ge's name yet, so he quickly changed his words: "He is one of the two people that Zheng Xun sent to listen to my summons."
Zheng Cheng finally understood, turned around and left, and brought Luo Ge back soon.
"Brother Lin, just call me by my name. My name is Luo Wei. Otherwise, you can just call me Xiao Luo." Brother Luo's face was full of embarrassment. He was almost scared to death when Zheng Cheng loudly called him Brother Luo outside.
After all, people like Lin Tao, Zheng Cheng and Zheng Xun are the big shots, while he is just a small fry and cannot be on the stage at all. "Brother Luo" is just a respectful title given by those miners.
Hearing this, Zheng Cheng smiled slightly.
Although this body was less than 20 years old, Lin Tao was already over 30 in his later life and was also a veteran mecha master, so he was arrogant and shouted directly: "Xiao Luo, come with me to that bar again."
"What's going on?" Lowe asked puzzledly.
But before he could react, Lin Tao had already grabbed him and hurried away, with Zheng Cheng following behind.
Swoosh~ Soon, the hover car appeared at the door of the bar again.
Lin Tao pushed open the car door and walked straight into the bar. Since the shadow prison stone had been completely dug out, the pit in front of the bar door was backfilled with a large amount of clean water.
It seems that the hotel's boss, Mr. Ma, has no intention of paving the puddle back.
Thinking about what Lao Ma said, Lin Tao understood in his heart that this puddle was not completely useless.
After arriving at the door of the bar, Lin Tao stood by the puddle, frowning and looking at the puddle.
Zheng Cheng and Luo Wei didn't understand what was going on, so they also stood beside Lin Tao and looked at the puddle together. Since the water was relatively clear, they could see the bottom of the water at a glance.
This sudden scene immediately caused everyone in the bar to look at him in surprise.
They couldn't recognize Zheng Cheng, but they recognized Lin Tao and Luo Wei.
At the bar counter, the bald middle-aged Lao Ma saw Lin Tao and immediately put down the bottle he had been wiping and ran over with his round belly: "Brother Lin, you're here again."
Seeing Lin Tao staring at the bottom of the puddle, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart: "Brother Lin, is there something you need down there?"
Lin Tao just kept looking at the bottom of the water without saying a word.
Lao Ma wiped the sweat from his forehead, and after seeing Lowe out of the corner of his eyes, he hurried back and took out the water pump.
"Your name is Lao Ma, right?" Lin Tao looked up and looked at Lao Ma who had just put down the water pump.
"Yes, everyone here calls me Lao Ma." Lao Ma was like a chick pecking at rice.
Little did he know that just as Lin Tao appeared, the pupils of two ragged miners in the bar suddenly contracted, and then they looked at each other and winked at each other.
"Old Ma, do you remember where the green powder came from?" Lin Tao asked.
"Huh?" Old Ma was stunned, then frowned, as if recalling something.
"Brother Lin, I know about this." At this time, Lowe on the side spoke up.
Lin Tao's eyes immediately fell on him.
"That stuff was not originally a powder, but a whole piece, like a stone. I don't know who ground it into powder and threw it into a puddle. After being soaked for a long time, it finally turned into powder." Lowe explained.
"Where did you find it?" Lin Tao asked.
"It seems like an expert discovered it somewhere." Lowe scratched his head and thought about it, but he still couldn't remember which expert it was.
"Where are those experts now?" Zheng Cheng on the side suddenly spoke up.
"Those experts have almost discovered all the mineral resources on the planet and have returned long ago." Lowe said embarrassedly.
This is a bit troublesome, Lin Tao frowned slightly.
"Did they leave any notes?" Zheng Cheng's heart moved and he couldn't help but ask.
Those experts usually take notes, and you may be able to find the answer by looking through them.
"The notes were left behind, but it seems like someone bought them." Lowe scratched his head, an embarrassed look on his face.
"Oh?" Lin Tao was stunned.
Zheng Cheng also frowned.
"Brother Cheng, all the mineral sources have been discovered, so there is no point in keeping these data and they will generally be disposed of. I happened to meet people from the Zhao family, and they happened to have a geologist who wanted to study the geology of this planet, so he spent a lot of money on the spot and bought all the information." Lowe explained hurriedly.
"Zhao family?" Lin Tao frowned slightly.
"Yes, it was bought by someone from the Zhao family." Lowe nodded.
Lin Tao did not expect that the Zhao family actually bought the information. He had not planned to take action against the Zhao family immediately, but now it seems that he has no choice but to take action.
The Shadow-Forbidden Stone and the Shadow-Prison Stone must be used together to imprison the 'shadow', and the two have been coexisting for many years. Wherever the Shadow-Prison Stone appears, there will be the Shadow-Forbidden Stone.
The Forbidden Shadow Stone looks like an ordinary stone and is extremely inconspicuous. Lin Tao looked around the bottom of the puddle but couldn't find it. It seems that the Forbidden Shadow Stone can only be found after finding the place where the Shadow Prison Stone was discovered.
And now, the information is in the hands of the Zhao family again.
"Has the Zhao family's geologist left?" Lin Tao asked calmly.
"No, he's been staying here all the time. I heard that he seemed to be researching something, so he's been staying in the Zhao family's camp." Lowe replied.
Tap tap tap~ Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came closer and closer.
Everyone turned around and saw two miners coming over. One of them shouted, "Brother Luo, are you looking for green powder stone?"
"Green powder stone?" Lin Tao frowned slightly.
"What green powder stone?" Lowe also frowned and looked at the two miners suspiciously.
"It's the one under the water." The miner who spoke pointed to the puddle and said, "I know who put that thing in there. I heard them say that it's easy to grind into fine powder, so they call it green powder stone."
"Do you know where the green powder stone is?" Lin Tao asked hurriedly.
The two miners nodded repeatedly, and one of them looked at Lin Tao with a guilty look on his face: "Brother Lin, I heard Brother Luo also call you Brother Lin." Seeing Lin Tao nod, he became cautious again: "Brother Lin, if we help you find the green powder stone, do we have to have a miner leader?"
"You two bastards, you want to ask for benefits before the job is done yet?" When Lowe heard this, he got furious on the spot.
Zheng Cheng waved his hand quickly to stop Luo Wei. He looked at the two miners who shrank back and said, "As long as you can help us find the green powder stone, I will make both of you the head miners."
"Really?" The miner who spoke seemed a little unbelievable and turned to look at Lowe.
Lowe often appears in front of the miners, so most of the miners only know him. And after what happened yesterday, the first person to respond was promoted to mine foreman on the spot. This made most of the miners fantasize and want to perform in front of him and then become mine foreman.
At this time, the two seemed to have this plan.
Luo Wei snorted: "Since Brother Cheng and Brother Lin both said that they would let you two be the mine foremen, then they will definitely let you two be the mine foremen."
Seeing that Lowe had agreed, the two miners ignored Lowe's dissatisfaction and immediately showed an excited look: "Then we will lead the way for you."
"Get in the car." Lin Tao pointed at the hovercraft not far away.
The two miners looked at the hovercraft and shook their heads at the same time: "No, no, we are very dirty. We will lead the way in front. It's not far anyway."
"Oh?" Lin Tao raised his eyebrows.
The two miners stepped out of the bar together and trotted ahead. One of them turned back and shouted, "Follow closely."
"Lin Tao, they..." Seeing that Lin Tao was about to catch up, Zheng Cheng came to Lin Tao without leaving any trace and lowered his voice.
"It's okay." Lin Tao waved his hand. He knew that Zheng Cheng was also suspicious of the two people in front, but Lin Tao still followed them quickly.
Although Zheng Cheng frowned, he still followed. After hesitating for a moment, Luo Wei also followed closely behind.
Lao Ma still had to look after the store, so he could only follow behind and see him off.
Following the two miners all the way, in less than twenty minutes, they had already reached the foot of the mountain and were getting farther and farther away from the mountain where the Blood Wolf Gang headquarters was located behind them.
"You two slow down. There are ferocious beasts outside the mountains." Seeing the two people in front of him walking faster and faster, Lowe couldn't help but shout loudly.
"A ferocious beast?" Lin Tao was startled, and Zheng Cheng turned to look at Luo Wei suspiciously.
"Outside the mountains there is a kind of wild beast called mountain wolf. They are as big as calves and extremely ferocious. If you encounter them without a mecha, even an ancient warrior can be easily bitten into pieces by them." Lowe's face suddenly changed, and his eyes became cautious as he looked around.
