Isabel single-handedly eliminated the sandworms that had occupied the oasis, and also restored the only staging area in the desert. Unfortunately, however, the foundation of the oasis, which had been operated by the Bedu tribe for generations, was still destroyed.
There were only a few sunken and collapsed sand caves left in the former oasis, and everything else was reduced to crumbling ruins.
Isabel’s body lit up with white light.
While a wisp of black mist rose from the ground in front of her, which coalesced into a vague shadow. A dialogue box emerged from the black shadow’s head, but it was all a mess of codes.
Messy code also emerged from Isabel’s head, and she had an encrypted exchange with the other party.
Soon, the black shadow dissipated.
Isabelle faced the computer screen, got down on one knee and said, “My lord, I questioned the dead here with a messianic prayer. They told me that the sandworms attacked this place in order to grab the copper ore underneath the oasis.”
“Sandworms love ores, and they will eat them to strengthen their bodies by turning the metallic elements into part of their own bodies.”
“Most of the mining areas in the desert are occupied by different regional groups of sandworms. Only this place is protected by the power of the gods, keeping them at bay.”
“Not long ago when they realised that this place was no longer shrouded by divine power, the sandworms quickly attacked the oasis. In order to grab the copper ore, a small-scale war broke out within them as well. These twelve sandworms that I disposed of were the original winners here.”
Lu Yao was delighted to hear this.
There was actually copper.
He was worried that the Garlic Tribe had been slow to click on the Smelting Metal skill tree, but he didn’t expect the opportunity to be in the desert.
But Isabelle’s next words immediately poured cold water on his head.
“There aren’t many copper ores here, and they’ve all been eaten by the sandworms by now. Sandworms are a kind of magic creature that can go for long periods of time without eating, and when they encounter copper and iron ores, they will frantically feed until they have digested all the ores.”
The copper ore has been eaten ……
Lu Yao looked at the insect corpses on the ground and suddenly an idea popped into his head.
Since the ores were all eaten by the sand worms to strengthen their bodies, could it be understood that the copper ore was still part of the sand worm corpses?
Lu Yao ordered.
–Check inside the corpses to see if there is any copper.
It didn’t take long for Isabelle to come up with the results of her examination.
“Just as you said, my lord, there is a piece of copper under the outer skin of the sandworm, and these pieces of copper are very strong.”
Lu Yao said in his heart that it was true.
Without the Apostle, I’m afraid it would be impossible to discover the secret of the sandworm.
Nope.
Without the Apostle, it would be impossible to enter the desert and fight the Sandworms.
Relying on the Garlic Tribe’s own strength alone, entering the desert to fight against the Sandworms would undoubtedly be asking for death.
It was only because of Isabelle’s existence that it was possible to enter these dangerous high level areas.
Next, the Garlic Tribe’s hunters followed Isabelle into the desert and arrived at the oasis. Upon witnessing a field of giant snake-like sandworm corpses, the pixel minions acted exuberantly.
“What strong monsters, they must have been terrifying when they were alive.”
“Their skins are thicker than a sea monster’s and their bodies are bigger than a sea monster’s.”
“Monster meat! Leather! And strong bones!”
“A great harvest!”
A pixelated villain suddenly had an exclamation mark on his head.
“There’s something in the sandworm skin, it’s copper! It’s copper!”
A line appeared on the screen.
[The Garlic Tribe has discovered copper.]
In the resource column at the top of the game interface, there was also a brand new resource: metal.
There was currently only copper in the [Metal] column, and it was in a state of red scarcity.
Then the little people got busy, cutting up the sandworm corpses and transporting them all the way back to the Garlic Tribe by camel. Due to the long journey and the large number of sandworm corpses, the tribe called on all the camels, and the shaman himself was here to direct the transport.
On this trip to the desert, Isabelle cleaned up the sandworms along the way and reopened the passage between the plains and the oasis in this area of the Garlic Tribe.
Getting out of the desert was only a matter of time.
At this time, Lu Yao suddenly saw a prompt.
[In order to thank you for recovering the old site of the Beldu Tribe, Astrologer Shahan has taught the Garlic Tribe the Mining Technique.]
[The Garlic Tribe has learnt the Mining Art.]
The Garlic Tribe has gained prestige among the other tribes for mastering the new technology.
The Garlic Tribe discovered iron.
The Garlic Tribe discovered gems.
The Garlic Tribe has discovered gold.
The Garlic Tribe has discovered silver.
[The Garlic Tribe has discovered crystals.]
A series of reminders caused Lu Yao to cast his gaze towards the tent next to the temple.
This former leader of the Bedu Tribe and now the Garlic Tribe’s weather forecaster, he was kneeling outside the temple, very reverently putting his head on the ground to express his gratitude to Lu Yao.
I can’t believe that he still has a hand in this.
Lu Yao couldn’t help but think.
Since Shah Khan was hiding something, was it possible for others to do the same?
Perhaps only by reaching the most important goal in these people’s hearts and fulfilling their obsessions and expectations would they be willing to share all their techniques and experiences.
After learning the art of mining, the tribe gradually separated some people and began to dig and excavate around the stones, and the utilisation of the stones became more popular, the most direct change was that there were more low walls piled with stones outside the houses.
In addition, the Garlic Tribe also gradually learnt the most primitive means of smelting, the small people dug a big hole in the ground, piled up firewood to start a fire, and burned copper, iron, silver and gold from the ore.
Soon after the words [The gift is completely finished, the fishing net is integrated into the world] appeared on the screen again.
It was time to drop new tools over again.
Lu Yao stretched and got up to move his fingers and back.
Behind every step forward for the tribal civilisation was a backache paid for by the gods.
In this winter, Isabelle hacked over the sandworms along the way and walked out of the vast southern desert to a brand new world.
It was a city called Saniro, civilised far beyond the Garlic Tribe.
Saniro built in the sea, control of the sea, the city not only has neatly arranged houses, straight staggered stone road, there are a variety of complete shops.
The city is home to tens of thousands of people, and the harbour by the sea is also home to some fishing boats and sailing ships.
The only problem was that the inhabitants of Saniro were not people.
It is a city inhabited by ghosts.
Initially, the ghosts of Saniro had some minor misunderstandings with Isabel. After Isabel had beheaded nearly half of the city’s ghostly soldiers, the ghosts changed their attitude and gave her a warm welcome.
The Saneros entertained Isabel with a VIP attitude and introduced her to the city’s long history. The locals expressed their willingness to believe in the Yao God and offer their faith in order to obtain the blessing and forgiveness of the Yao God.
The situation stabilised.
“The city of Saniro has always been hospitable, especially respecting and believing in the powerful gods, and it is an honour for us to have a visit from a noble apostle like you.” Chapman, the mayor of Saniro, said so.
“I dare not hide it from you, Lord Isabel, in fact Saniro is a cursed city.”
“It used to be incredibly rich in the past, the city was well versed in maritime trade and cultivation, and its population was even far greater than it is now. But after the forest god we believed in fell, the place was cursed by another god.”
“All of us were executed and turned into ghosts.”
“And the god sent down totems so that the ghosts of Saniro could never take a step away from here to punish us for our heresy. Except for the Bedu tribes of ancient times, this place has not been visited for many years.”
