This is a barren mountain, with not even a decent big tree on the mountain. This is completely different from the description of the aura recorded in the book. There are no exotic flowers and plants, and there are no jewels. The place is desolate and lifeless. It seems that there is no life.

, sometimes you can’t completely trust books.

There are many traces of human activities here, and it is obvious that this place has been explored before. However, the cultivators who came here to explore either did not conduct detailed exploration, or they did not find the right place.

If it weren't for Ding Yi, who taught Lizhao and the others how to identify spiritual stones and gems, perhaps these precious gems would never see the light of day again. All of this was truly fate.

In the mountain stream below the barren mountain, the river bed was dry, and there were scattered gravels of various sizes. Ding Yi used his spiritual power to look around. However, he found nothing. Apparently, this river valley had also been explored.

The place where Talon found the pumice stone was in a crevice in the mountain stream. At that time, the hungry Talon chased a badger that was escaping in a hurry and ran here. If an ordinary person saw the crack as wide as a palm,

Maybe I gave up. But the sharp claws persisted and opened up this crack...

Since the pumice was found here, let’s start digging from here. This place is deserted anyway. Ding Yi and the others got into the crevices and started digging...

The ideal is full, but the reality is skinny. Several people dug for most of the night, digging a total of nearly two hundred meters, but found nothing. Seeing that it was almost dawn, Ding Yi had no choice but to dig all the people.

Brought it back.

After breakfast, everyone took a rest. In the afternoon, Ding Yi continued to guide them in learning puppetry. At night, everyone was a little unwilling and decided to try their luck again. But this night, they were destined to still be in vain. Because here, already

It was occupied.

A lot of people came, about three to four hundred people. It turned out that Ding Yi and the others excavated a large amount of earth and rocks last night but did not clean them up. A passing cultivator discovered it. The cultivator entered the crevice and tried to dig.

Unexpectedly, after only digging two or three meters, he found a pumice stone the size of a longan...

This man quickly notified his sect, and this pumice mine was exposed.

Ding Yi and the others were about to cry, but they didn't expect that their chance to make a fortune was ruined because they failed to handle one detail.

Back at the station, everyone was a little unhappy. If the birdman hadn't reminded Ding Yi that he should prepare food for them, Ding Yi would have almost forgotten about it.

Ding Yi has to do the task of finding food. Birdman and the other mutants are almost helpless in the face of those cultivators. But for Ding Yi, it is not a difficult task.

It's not that there are no fertile fields and pastures in the Giant Rock Continent. It's just that these are controlled by some sects. The people in the sects are all cultivators, and the birdmen dare not approach them. Because several of their companions broke into this place before and lost their lives. They naturally

are afraid of this place.

Ding Yi has an anti-gravity backpack, so it is not difficult to steal dozens of tons of grain at once. Now is the time when the ears of grain are ripe, and the scythes should be opened and loaded into warehouses in the next two days.

Birdman took Ding Yi to a farm of the Yulong Sect. Ding Yi saw the formations and mechanisms arranged around the farm and knew it well. These simple formations and mechanisms were naturally difficult for Ding Yi, so he asked Birdman to

Staying outside, he easily sneaked in...

Rice alone does not comply with the principle of nutritional balance and proportion. Under the guidance of Birdman, Ding Yi visited the orchards and pastures of the Shinki faction...

Ding Yi is very talented and has a great reputation in the empire. When used as a thief, he is really overqualified and underused, but Ding Yi himself doesn't think anything of it.

Looking at the cave filled with food, fruits, and meat... the mutants swept away the previous decline and started dancing happily.

In the eyes of the five of them, Ding Yi could easily complete the difficult task in less than two or three hours.

Food, especially meat, is easily perishable without processing. Ding Yi took the opportunity to teach these five mutants how to make formations.

The spiritual fire array for making fire, the ice array for preserving food...

After three days in a row, Ding Yi finally completed the ideas for the various puppet devices he wanted to create.

That night, all the preparations were in place, and Ding Yi began to refine the weapon.

The cupola was built with the help of Talon and the others. Ding Yi only spoke out and was responsible for technical guidance and the work of refining the weapons. Ding Yi also tried his best to involve these mutants.

The self-healing ability of mutants is super strong. After only four or five days of recuperation, Golden Horn's injuries were mostly healed. However, half of his sharp horns have not fully grown yet, and he cannot reveal his unique skills to Ding.

B Take a look.

There were so many components to be refined that it lasted for three nights before it was finally completed. The main reason for starting work at night was because he was afraid that the thick smoke from the coal would be seen by cultivators. Although Ding Yi set up formations around

Protection, but these thick smoke cannot be allowed to stay in the formation. When it comes to safety, Ding Yi always puts it first.

The pumice mine incident reminded Ding Yi that any negligence will lead to failure. People like them who cannot reveal their identities must be careful, and be careful again and again.

What Ding Yi refined this time was ten insect puppets and six mecha puppets. Based on the previous ones, Ding Yi added some new elements to these ten insect puppets, which not only can make them invisible, but also can shield gods.

In addition, Ding Yi also enhanced the detection function and detection function of these ten insect puppets.

Attack ability.

Although the insect puppets were made smaller than before, they were more precise and more powerful. With Ding Yi's fire spirit qualification and his upgrade to the spirit level, his mental power also rose to a new level. And Ding Yi noticed that he

The patterns on the transformed spirit wings have many color blocks and are getting brighter and brighter. It is obvious that his other qualifications are also on the way to advancement. This is a great thing for Ding Yi.

Each qualification promotion will bring about the transformation of the soul and spiritual consciousness. This will increase Ding Yi's strength exponentially. Especially the improvement of mental power (psychic power) is of great significance to the puppet master.

If he were still in Xuanzang Academy, Yang Qi, Shi Yao and others would be very happy when they heard the news. These teachers who cared about him treated him as if they were their own children. Although Ding Yi hated the empire,

cultivator class, but there is no reason for all cultivators.

"Ding Yi, what is this? What's the use of such a small thing?" Birdman and others gathered around Ding Yi and started talking.

"These are insect puppets. These four are imitations of bamboo bees. Bamboo bees are common insects in Liuhua Continent, but I have never seen them in this area. They are used to detect and fight enemies. Don't look at them.

It's small, but its power is not small." As he spoke, Ding Yi controlled one of the bamboo bees to fly up.

Because Ding Yi had enough pumice stones, Ding Yi made some improvements in the production. This bamboo bee does not rely on flapping its wings to fly like before. It is suspended in the air mainly by the formation with pumice stones as its core.

A clever Qi Spirit Array controls the direction of the jet, giving the Bamboo Bee enough power. The Bamboo Bee's wings only play a balancing role...

When this bamboo bee flies, there are only extremely subtle vibrations in the air. If you don't have a strong sense of spirituality, you won't be able to detect these subtle changes. This is an upgrade like replacing a shotgun with a cannon. This bamboo bee is incredibly fast, and it itself is very powerful.

It is small and compact, with an invisible magic circle designed on it and painted with camouflage paint with lizard saliva. Even a great master will be plotted by this little thing if he doesn't check it.

Ding Yi controlled the bamboo bee remotely, flew to a steel plate, and launched an attack. With a 'pop' sound, the steel plate nearly half a centimeter thick was suddenly penetrated by the bamboo bee. He picked up the steel plate with his sharp claws, and originally

There is a tiny pinhole on the steel plate that is as smooth as a mirror.

"It's amazing!" Jinjiao and the others praised sincerely.

"Its main function is to detect whether there is any danger ahead and serve as an early warning. Of course, it is also a good helper for attacks." Ding Yi introduced proudly.

"These two are puppet spiders. It is also a pathfinding tool. It is equipped with eight probe rods that can detect eight types of toxins. In addition, it is also a good helper for collecting elixirs in the wild."

"As for these four fist-sized giant peaks, they are our means of escape. As long as I release these things, you have to leave as fast as you can. They are equipped with explosives. Once they explode, they can be destroyed."

, a hill like this below our feet.”

Ding Yi carefully collected these puppet insects.

Ding Yi's work is not finished yet. The six mecha puppets have not been assembled yet. He is still doing the final finishing work.

These six mecha puppets are all equipped puppets, equipped for himself and Jinjiao. The six mecha puppets are all multifunctional mechas that can fly, run, and dive.

Ding Yi also added some special weapons based on the characteristics of each of them.

On top of Jinjiao's mecha puppet, in addition to the air blast launcher and flamethrower that each puppet is equipped with, there is also a hunting fork that can release lightning. Jinjiao has not fully recovered, but Ding Yi has fought with him.

, knowing the characteristics of his spellcasting, Jinjiao's grasp of timing is quite good, so equipping him with this weapon should be more suitable for him.

The long-tailed mecha puppet is equipped with an energy giant bow that can shoot giant wooden arrows. Ding Yi obtained a lot of wood spirit stones from Yankai Prison and Dandang Mountain Mining Area. Although this energy giant bow consumes a lot of money, Ding Yi

B can support it enough.

In addition, Ding Yi also opened a clever door on Changwei's mecha puppet, which allows Changwei to use his superpower to release his tail.

You must know that the long tail can function as a rope. The rope is an important survival tool in the outdoors.

Lizard's mecha puppet is equipped with a snow mist condensing machine, which can create a foggy environment, and can also create snowflakes and ice edges. Lizard is cold-blooded and hot-hearted. He is relatively cold-resistant. At the same time, he is also the least capable. Ding

B designed this set of tools for him to directly exclude him from the combatants, which is also a kind of protection for him.

The claw is equipped with a meteor hammer. Many times, if magic cannot solve the problem, you still have to rely on physical attacks. Besides, the claw-like hands of the claw are not as flexible as human hands. Simple weapons are sometimes more effective.

Birdman's mecha is the lightest. It does not contain any weapons. This mecha is more like an armor that covers the whole body. It is just that on his helmet, there are many powerful magic circles installed, which have powerful detection functions.

.In addition, his helmet is on the same frequency as Ding Yi's helmet. He can share the field of view with Ding Yi.

Although there are bamboo bee puppets and spider puppets as guides, the judgment of danger sometimes still requires the birdman's anti-submarine reconnaissance.

In order to ensure the safety of this scout, Ding Yi also made dozens of spirit stone bombs, put them in a storage bracelet, and gave them to Birdman.

"Ding Yi, we are now

Now that there is so much food, can we not go to Huangquan Tiankeng?" Birdman said suddenly.

He escaped the earliest time, and when he heard the news about Huangquan Tiankeng, almost all of it was negative. This was a desperate situation that people in Wangchuan County talked about. To be honest, he was not optimistic about this trip to Huangquan Tiankeng.

OK.

As a friend and a partner, Ding Yi has nothing to say. But this is a matter of life and death, especially now that Ding Yi has brought back so much food, he is a little hesitant.

Ding Yi said: "It doesn't matter. If you don't want to go, I won't force you. I have reasons why I have to go in. Now thousands of cultivators are trying to catch me everywhere. Among them are many strange people with great magical powers. I

As long as I stay in one place for a little longer, they will come looking for me. I have to go to a dangerous place that they dare not enter to ensure my own safety."

"Anyone of you who doesn't want to go can stay. I'll leave these grains and mechas for you."

Ding Yi was not surprised at all by Birdman's opinion.

"I'm going to follow you anyway, as long as you don't drive me away." Jin Jiao said vigorously.

"I'll go with you!" Li Claw didn't say much, but also made his attitude clear.

The lizard said nothing and stood next to Jinjiao.
