Chapter 111: New Rare Resources

After making a plan, Ji Ye picked up another item that he acquired from the Mirage Monster Commander.

It was a tooth that was translucent and half a foot long, with mist whirling around it.

[Mirage Dragon Tooth]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-4]

[Rarity: Superior offering]

[Introduction: This is a tooth left by the Mirage Dragon. Not much power is left after the long passage of time, but its level has been increased after the Mirage Monster’s refinement.]

An item with “dragon” in its name had appeared again!

Furthermore, there was more than one such “dragon tooth”.

There were another two dragon teeth among the items left by the other two Extraordinary Mirage Monsters, except that they were smaller and one of those dragon teeth wasn’t listed as an offering.

Through this dragon tooth that was readily usable, Ji Ye understood the specific function of the dragon teeth.

After activating the dragon tooth’s power, one’s body would be covered by mist, allowing them to be stealthy if they lay still in the water. When they moved, they could turn into streaks of light under the acceleration of the dragon tooth. That was exactly how the three Extraordinary Mirage Monsters came to stop the men from the Twin Dragon Mount from leaving.

But they certainly didn’t see it coming that they would all be killed after they stopped the enemy.

Dragon teeth, dragon pearl… Is there a complete Mirage Dragon body in the territory of the Mirage Monsters?

Ji Ye thought hard.

If that was true, the Mirage Monsters really enjoyed a great privilege!

Even though they could hardly win the Ten-Species Competition as an aquatic species, the body of a Transcendent creature was as valuable as a settlement, not to mention the abundant monster resources in the sea!

However, that might be a good thing. In such a case, there’s no need to finish off the Mirage Monsters yet…

Ji Ye thought.

On one hand, he had used up the Flood Dragon Blood and needed more time to accumulate it, and the marine soldiers of the Twin Dragon Mount weren’t capable of going to the sea and conquer the Mirage Monsters’ settlement yet.

On the other hand, now that the Sludge Monsters’ settlement was destroyed, it would be impossible for the Mirage Monsters’ settlement to be upgraded.

Even though they had plenty of resources, they couldn’t increase their population and could only improve the strength of their individuals.

That might not be a bad thing. After all, the higher their level was, the more reward there would be after they were killed.

The Flood Dragon Bloodline that he possessed was almost a bane for them. As long as he gathered enough Flood Dragon Blood, he could kill them easily, reap a lot of advanced spoils and Extraordinary Souls of Civilization, and also train the marine soldiers of the Twin Dragon Mount!

Well, that seemed to be an evil thought.

However, all the civilizations and species were competing on the Land of Inheritance. There was actually no right or wrong in this place!

“Come to think of it, maybe I can try to fuse the two dragon teeth that came from the same dragon?”

Ji Ye picked up the two Mirage Dragon Teeth, which looked slightly different, that were clearly from the same source.

If he were to welcome a hero with a Superior dragon tooth as an offering, he might get Li Jun, the person who ranked top in the navy of the Liangshan Marsh.

He was a famous person, and in Water Margins and its many sequels, he left Song Jiang after the battle, sailed off with some people, and became king of Siam.

He had the best ending among the 108 heroes in Water Margins, but he had spent his fair amount of time as a villain, and Ji Ye didn’t really like him.

So, Ji Ye preferred to summon another hero who had “dragon” in his nickname and who was unique in Liangshan Marsh with the offering.

Considering the guy’s stories, a “Perfect” offering could definitely suppress him!

As to where he could get a Perfect offering…

“I was going to try fusing that item next time, but since it’s possible to get a Perfect offering, then…”

Collecting the two dragon teeth, Ji Ye made a decision.

On the other hand, maybe because of his excellent performance in the battle, all the three Extraordinary Mirage Monsters had dropped an offering. There was also a crystal that was almost transparent besides the dragon teeth.

[Mental Power Crystal]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-2]

[Rarity: Refined (offering)]

[Introduction: This is the crystallization of a Mirage Monster’s entire mental power. Some human beings who are capable of mental attacks may be interested in it!]

This was from the Quasi-Commander Mirage Monster.

Unfortunately, it was only Refined and wasn’t suitable for summoning the heroes from Water Margins. But together with the Soul of Civilization that it yielded, it might be possible to summon an Extraordinary Rank-2 top elite!

Besides, because Wu Song, Ling Zhen, and the others killed a dozen Mirage Monsters, many other spoils were achieved too.

For example, there was the Mirage Stone, which was made of the mirage within the Mirage Monsters. It could generate a large area of smoke when it exploded on the ground before creating an illusion on the same spot.

It was just like the clone the Mirage Monster Commander set up during its escape, except that it could not move freely. It could only be used as a smoke grenade in a battle. There were also colorful lifesaving bubbles that could only be used in water.

…

While collecting the spoils, the people of the Twin Dragon Mount found resources from the Sludge Monsters’ territory.

The first they discovered was the copious special ores down the cliffs where the Sludge Monsters lived.

After mining and simple refining, it would be possible to create ammunitions in different colors.

For example, the red ammunitions that the Sludge Monsters used earlier would burn continuously and consume a great amount of air instantly, the black ones would generate smoke where one’s senses would be affected, and the yellow ones would release such heat that water would instantly be boiled.

“Incendiary bombs, smoke bombs, and atomic bombs!”

There was no telling how the Sludge Monsters named those ores, but Elder Jiao, who had discovered the ores with a few other casual players, was rather excited and pointed out the prospects of those ores after further research!

Of course, incendiary bombs and smoke bombs were neat descriptions, but atomic bombs were definitely an exaggeration because they were just Extraordinary items anyway.

Still, it was doubtless that those items would be ten times more powerful in the hands of the Twin Dragon Mount than under the control of the Sludge Monsters.

“Huh? The mud has stats too!”

After the Mirage Monsters left, the marine soldiers who searched the water found another type of resource.

Also, it was a rare resource!

[Black Mud]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-1]

[Rarity: Common (rare)]

[Introduction: The special power that this black mud contains can regenerate most creatures’ broken limbs, but it may take a long time.]

“This… this is the legendary regeneration balm…” Mister Bug, who drew a pissing Monkey King on his arm, remarked in surprise.

“Shouldn’t you consider chopping off your hand directly? In that case, you wouldn’t have to draw things on it every day!” said Qin Yueyu jokingly.

Chu Yin, on the other hand, gazed at the Black Mud as if she was hesitating about something.

Ji Ye had already noticed that Chu Yin walked in a different way when she just arrived.

Later, he learned on the forum that some people among the second batch to enter the Land of Inheritance were handicapped. Their deficiencies would be fixed on their new bodies after their entrance, but as a result, their physical qualities would partly drop, and they usually couldn’t be adapted to their new bodies very quickly, so they were inevitably considered as burdens.

In some cases, they would even be purposefully pushed out as cannon fodder.

That might have been the reason why Chu Yin died only a few days after the entrance.

She looked weird at this moment clearly because of the Black Mud that could regenerate broken limbs.

Some of the items from the Land of Inheritance could be exchanged to Earth with “Rare Honor”.

“I don’t object to it if you want to exchange for it… But maybe you should wait a moment. This item’s level is too low, and the regeneration will take too long. Also, after you enter the Land of Inheritance, your body on Earth will be ‘frozen’. There won’t be enough time…”

Ji Ye slightly lowered his head and said to Chu Yin while staring at her eyes that carried classic beauty.

“Got it… Thanks!”

Looking at Ji Ye gratefully, Chu Yin nodded.

In fact, there was one other reason that Ji Ye left unsaid.

For others, the items could only be exchanged to Earth at the cost of Rare Honor.

However, with his Fusion talent, he could master an item’s materials and features after one fusion, thereby grasping its recipe.

Then, he could create an item with similar effects with similar materials on Earth!

Also, theoretically speaking, such Black Mud would definitely have a huge market if it could be created on Earth.

“Those Sludge Monsters had a mountain of treasures, but they didn’t know how to make use of them.

“But that’s not bad anyway. All their resources are ours now!”

Shang Yan, who was responsible for logistics and was recording the resources, smiled happily.

Resources with healing properties were undoubtedly very important for a settlement.

That was why the Rejuvenation Bead from Fatty Zhu’s settlement could sell for such a high price.

However, there were few Rejuvenation Beads, and they could only heal wounds. The beads could not regenerate broken limbs. In comparison, the swamp down below which contained a great amount of “Rare” Black Mud was almost a treasury!

Such a treasury would definitely give human beings a greater edge in the Ten-Species Competition quest.
