Chapter 62: One Hundred Years Aged Ice-Iron

Qian Jin opened the Mine Inspection Technique and started reading carefully. This thin book contained large contents, expounding in detail the classifications of rock masses in chronological order, assorted mineral resources reserved in miscellaneous mountains and streams, and so on.

“If you wish to be a Forge Master sooner, you shouldn’t look through the first pages,” Blake swayed his pipe in the air and said, “turn to the last pages.”

The last pages? Qian Jin quickly turned to the last several pages and saw the puzzling title, Mine Property Sensation, distinct from the knowledge information in the previous part of the book.

Qian Jin turned to a new page and concentrated on reading Mine Property Sensation. He came to know that it was a special skill used not by the course of empirical knowledge of mountains and streams, rather it somewhat bordered on the expansion of spiritual powers—yet it was not classified into spiritual powers; it was a kind of Breathe Technique.

Through the Forging Breathing Technique, one could smoothly release the internal fire accumulated in the dead reservoirs throughout the body, so as to feel for the metal reserves and tell the different metal and mineral resources. 。

With the improvement of Forging Breathe Technique, the sensing radius would expand from ten meters to outer ranges.

Eyes closed, Qian Jin raised his hands high and swung his arms in accordance with the requirements in Mine Inspection Technique, as randomly and fiercely as a lunatic. With such waving, the Forging Breathe Technique started functioning; hot air spouted out from his pores and streamed into the air.

Iron? Is this Iron Ore? Qian Jin felt that there were several pieces of Iron Ore with relatively high concentration underneath the ground near where he was standing, as well as one piece of refined iron somewhere farther. That was the very Level 8 Refined Iron piece forged last time, which meant a lot to others, but to Blake, the veteran blacksmith, it was of no difference with the other ordinary Iron Mine.

“Could this be Mine Property Sensation?” Qian Jin kept his eyes closed, but felt that the world seemed clearer when compared to viewing it with eyes opened. No piece of metal was out of his reach of sensing. These metal and metal mines which looked cold and inanimate in the past now appeared vivaciously lovely as if they were given life.

It never occurred to Qian Jin that metal could be sensed in this way. The once seemingly inanimate metal and minerals were taking on a totally different look at this moment.

Qian Jin stopped waving his arms, and the Forging Breathing Technique was automatically ended. He opened his eyes to the surrounding iron mine and thought to himself that Mine Property Sensation did make a marvel. However, it could only be beckoned by the Forging Breathe Technique; besides, when the body stayed motionless while using such a Breathe Technique, it couldn’t be exploited either.

One has to do blacksmithing in order to activate the Forging Breathe Technique. Qian Jin wondered whether he would be caught up and beaten as a lunatic if he performed Mine Property Sensation and swung his limbs incessantly in front of others.

“Player Qian Jin has acquired Level 1 Mining Skill.”

After this system prompt, Qian Jin found that his Mining Skill rose to Level 1 in the attribute column.

Blake pointed at the Zhanmadao not far away at the foot of Qian Jin with his pipe; he then husked, “Take it, go to the West Mountains outside the village, and fetch back the One Hundred Years Aged Ice-iron of one hundred pounds.”

The West Mountains? Qian Jin turned around, and he could already see that big mountain resting in the west exterior of the village without the need to go outside. It was of no exaggeration to say that this mountain soared into the sky with a height of thousands of meters. Compared with this colossus, Oakland City was as small as a piece of pebble.。

Big, huge, jumbo, colossal! Qian Jin racked his brains, trying to look for words to describe the West Mountain, but in vain.

Its height which reached thousands of meters, as well as the length of its rolling hills that stretched towards both sides, could be depicted as boundless.

How could Qian Jin search out the One Hundred Years Aged Ice-iron of one hundred pounds in such a colossal mountain, given that he had only acquired Mine Property Sensation skill with a sensing radius of ten meters? Even if the Mine Inspection Technique had elaborated on the features and the most potential reserves of Ice-iron, how long would it take to exhaust such a boundless space?

“The Red Wolves prefer the cold air produced by the One Hundred Years Aged Ice-iron.” Blake stood up, kneaded his bent wrist and said, “Different plants and wild animals hold different preferences or hatred toward metals. As for the Red Wolves, they require the habitats with huge reserves of One Hundred Years Aged Ice-iron, in order for them to evolve into Demon Beasts. Here you are, a map of the Red Wolves’ habitats.”

Demon Beasts? Qian Jin’s eyelids started twitching uncontrollably. The Red Wolves had the odds of becoming Demon Beasts in habitats with reserves of the One Hundred Years Aged Ice-iron?

Human Warriors of Zence Empire, Demon Warrior of the Demon Empire, and Savage Warrior of the Northern Barbarians would all be exposed to the course of Demon Beasts in the early stage of their schooling.

Other than those naturally born Demon Beasts, ordinary wild animals also had the chance of evolving into the Demon species with the increase of their strength.

Compared with the wild animals, Demon Beasts possessed not only stronger bodies, but brains roughly as intelligent as human beings. The biggest difference between the wild animals and the Demon Beasts was that the latter enjoyed special abilities since they were embedded with Magic Cores.

This special ability, as referred in human discourse, was born-magic! The Demon Beasts enjoyed one or more birth-magic powers, where the stronger ones were born with attacking magic, and the weaker ones with more of auxiliary power.

What would the Red Wolves be after they evolved into Demon Beasts? Lava Wolverines, whose strength and speed were twice of the Red Wolves, and claws kept in a temperature as high as two hundred centigrade—it was equivalent to the a fire magic!

Any student enrolled into Primary Mage and Warrior Academy would learn about the evolution of Red Wolves into Lava Wolverines in the course of Beasts to Demon Beasts Evolution.

The Demon Beasts remain a huge pain for either the human beings in Zence Empire, the Demons, and the Barbarians living in the north. Once a Red Wolf evolves into a Lava Wolverine, it will possess combat capabilities equivalent to a Level 10 Warrior. It would be a nightmare for such a species to intrude a remote village not safeguarded by warriors.”

“Why are you still standing here?” Blake frowned his eyebrow and said, “Won’t you go there?”

Go there? The Red Wolves habitat? Qian Jin grinned. He, a Level 6 Warrior, had a narrow escape in the face of a herd of Red Wolves, so how on earth could he survive if he encountered a Lava Wolverine?

Not go there? Qian Jin, holding the Zhanmadao in his right hand, fiercely clenched his fingers. If he didn’t go there, how could he become a Forge Master? And how could he become a great warrior if he was intimidated by some potential Lava Wolverine in this game?
