After entering the hall, Xia Duo cautiously approached the statue closest to the door. In the perception of infrasound detection, the statue was placed in a lying position, which was similar to the three statues excavated before with a coiled base.
the difference.
However, in the study of previous statues, he found that these statues, which were made of a material close to obsidian, actually had very rich internal details.
The skin, muscles, blood vessels, bones, organs and other tissues are clearly layered, as if the real Saluk witch has been petrified.
This had to remind him that if it were carved, it was really hard for him to imagine any technique that could carve the internal structure of the statue so finely and realistically.
Therefore, when Sha Duo saw this lying statue, his first reaction was that this guy must have been lying down when he was petrified!
But no matter what, if these suspected immigrants from ancient times fell into his hands, he could only use them to expand his portable space.
The biggest reason why I chose this reclining statue, besides being closest to the door, is because it has no base.
Currently, Xia Duo's portable space is less than one cubic meter. If it had a base, the statue would not fit in at all.
Although the base and the statue itself are not one piece, Chateau can hardly tell where their connection surfaces are, and he also precisely controls the overlap of the portable space with the statue itself.
Only this lying statue can be stored in his portable space without much effort. There may be similar ones inside, but who can make it the closest!
…
After approaching the statue, Sha Duo controlled the portable space to overlap with part of the space around the main plane, so that the size almost covered the entire lying statue.
As the portable space separated from the main plane, the entire lying statue disappeared from the main plane, and a large hole appeared in front of Xia Duo.
As the soil above the cavity fell scattered, the portable space soon ushered in the first round of expansion!
An indescribable unknown existence flew out of the statue, "exploded" in the extremely cramped space that accommodated the statue itself, and "exploded" into a miniature plane, but it was annihilated and disappeared in an instant.
At the same time, the portable space expanded rapidly, suddenly expanding to nearly ten cubic meters.
After seeing the expansion completed, Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief. Although the three previous statues could indeed expand the portable space, no one could guarantee whether the statues found this time could be expanded before actually trying.
Fortunately everything went well!
And then, there are hundreds of statues waiting for him!
As long as he can have half of the statue to expand his carry-on space, he will be satisfied!
And the truth is, almost every statue does!
Xia Duo was almost crazy with joy. Every time he put a statue into his portable space, he would shout in his heart, "3 arcane crystals!"
According to past experience, a standard arcane crystal can expand the portable space by about three cubes, while a statue can expand nearly ten cubes.
In other words, every time you pick up a statue, you earn 3 standard arcana crystals in vain.
The market price of a standard arcane crystal in Netheril is at least 5,000 gold coins, and it is often impossible to buy it even with gold coins.
If Shado made it himself, with his current arcane fire state, the arcane crystals created by storing full arcane energy would only be about 1/50 of the standard arcane crystals.
And if it was at the time when he had just successfully advanced, it would have been only about 1%.
In other words, every time he picks up a statue, it is almost equivalent to repeatedly creating arcane crystals 150 times, and this still ignores the results required by arcane fire to absorb energy.
Taking into account the time required for the arcane fire to absorb energy, if Xia had not wasted even a little bit more arcana energy, it would have taken at least nearly two months to accumulate a standard arcana energy crystal.
Now just picking it up casually is equivalent to saving six months of time, or 15,000 gold coins. How could Xia Duo not be happy and go crazy!
If he hadn't been in the state of turning into earth and stone now, he would have burst into song!
If there is anything happier than picking up money in this world, it should be picking up more money!
…
Soon, Xia Duo's portable space continued to expand and finally reached 1,000 cubic meters. At this time, Xia Duo finally calmed down.
He couldn't continue. Although not even half of these statues were used, 1,000 cubic meters of space had already exceeded his normal needs.
In addition to expanding space, these statues may have other uses.
Not to mention anything else, but the miniature plane "exploded" by the mysterious being flying out of the statue is worth his study.
If they are all "exploded" now, and I want to study them later, I may not be able to find similar statues!
As for why he doesn't study it now, Xia Duo also thinks about it, but his current understanding of the plane is limited to the side, and it's still very superficial.
To prevent the appearance and disappearance of that kind of miniature plane, we can only wait until we understand more about the plane field in the future to make better use of these statues.
Let them stay underground now!
Xia Duo even put out the statues that he had previously stored in his portable space for expansion. He already has three statues in the Tower of Time, which is no less than a hundred.
Anyway, whenever you want it, you can come back to get it when you want it. This is called taking it as you go!
…
After taking one last look back at the underground ruins, Xia Duo returned to the surface with excitement. After transforming into his true form, he waited until he returned to the Tower of Time without letting go of his proud lips.
Just this time, he had picked up 1.5 million gold coins in vain, but there were more underground ruins!
From the time he traveled to the present, excluding those intangible gains, his total gains may not amount to 1.5 million gold coins!
Before, he lamented that "I have worked hard for several years and once again returned to before liberation", now he is really a "turned-serf and can sing"!
However, human desires are always difficult to satisfy. After calming down, facing the portable space that was obviously ten times the original 100 cubic meters, Xia Duo thought of more!
At present, his portable space is only space, and other things, including air, are all "taken" from the outside world.
What if the random space itself had these!
For example, the earth, air, water, sky, and even the sun, moon, stars, life and civilization may be called portable planes by then!
In the past, the portable space has always been very small. Xia Duo did not dare to expect much, and could only make some long-term visions. But now that the portable space has finally become larger, a practical plan to convert space into a plane should also be included in the plan.
!
At least it cannot be completely regarded as a fantasy. Even if there is only a slight possibility, it is necessary to seriously consider it!
