These gases come from the depths of the Yinghuo Earth's crust and contain a large amount of mixed toxins, but they are colorless and odorless. They quietly permeate the mine until they touch the protective layer of water skin that wraps Gao Xingyu's body.
The protective layer of the Water Skin Technique is usually just a thin transparent water film that wraps around the body in all directions, making it inconspicuous. Now when encountering the highly toxic gas, the water film rolled up like a boiling pot, making a crackling sound.
There was a sound and bursts of black smoke came out.
This is the effect caused by the poisonous gas triggering the purification function of Water Skin Technique. This is also the reason why Gao Xingyu often uses Water Skin Technique to protect his body.
Although the pure defensive power of Water Skin Technique is not as good as Golden Armor Technique, Wooden Shield Technique, or Stone Skin Technique, but after refining the body to reach the Silver Blood Realm, he also practiced the second-turn technique of "Nine-nine Mysterious Techniques"
Gao Xingyu doesn't care about the added defense, but rather the isolation and purification effects brought by the Water Skin Technique.
Although Yinghuo has a thin atmosphere, the oxygen content in it is extremely low. Although Gao Xingyu can use the Fetal Breath Technique to survive here, in order to ensure sufficient combat effectiveness to deal with unknown dangers, it is better to use the Turtle Breath Technique within the Water Skin Technique.<
/p>
There is a certain isolation space between the water film of the Water Skin Technique and the body, and the oxygen inside is enough to support the normal consumption of Gao Xingyu who uses the Turtle Breath Technique for most of the day.
Gao Xingyu was able to persist on Yinghuo for so many days by taking advantage of the characteristics of the Water Skin Technique and the fact that he would open the Xingyu Xiaozhu every half day to breathe.
The atmosphere in Yinghuo is not friendly to humans. These days, Gao Xingyu often encounters small bursts of poisonous gas, which are all quietly purified by the Water Skin Technique. This is the first time he has encountered such violent and pointed poisonous gas. Yinghuo's own magnetic field is very weak, so various energies in space often pass by Yinghuo's surface, many of which are extremely lethal to spiritual consciousness.
For the sake of safety, Gao Xingyu did not dare to release his spiritual consciousness too far. In fact, his spiritual consciousness was of little use here. This was a vein of Yinghuo Magnetic Crystal, and his spiritual consciousness was greatly disturbed.
However, most monks are accustomed to using their spiritual consciousness as the first choice to observe the environment. Even if he was greatly disturbed, Gao Xingyu still released his spiritual consciousness about a hundred meters away from him, which is better than nothing.
However, spiritual consciousness cannot detect this kind of poisonous gas without energy fluctuations. It was not until the poisonous gas came into contact with the water film of the Water Skin Technique, stimulating purification that Gao Xingyu realized the problem.
Fortunately, he had a plan to deal with it. Just as the water skin technique began to purify the poisonous gas, he flashed and teleported and appeared in the mine tunnel fifty meters away.
There is no poisonous gas here, or in other words, the poisonous gas has not spread here yet. Gao Xingyu opened his eyes, looked carefully, and quickly found the source of the problem.
It turned out that there were several ore-eating monsters hiding under the Yinghuo Magnetic Crystal Mine. It was these ore-eating monsters that attracted poisonous gas from the underground and wanted to sneak attack Gao Xingyu.
Ore-eating monsters are natural monsters with low IQs. Their bodies are made of special energy and have no fixed form. They can travel through gaps and are not affected by temperature.
They live and move in space in the form of small groups, feeding on various minerals on planets or meteorites.
Most of the planets where monks live have planet-level defense formations that cannot be entered by ore-eating monsters.
Therefore, they will only appear on unattended planets or meteorite mining sites. Ordinary people will never encounter them at all if they do not go to extraterrestrial mining.
The level of the ore-eating monsters is not high. Most of them are only equivalent to the Qi nourishing period. The leader of a small group is equivalent to the Qi training period.
The ore-eating monsters themselves do not have many means of attack and defense. Their most common method is to induce underground poisonous gas. Some boss-level ore-eating monsters can cause partial collapse of the mine tunnels, thus preventing ordinary human miners from mining minerals. p>
Ore-eating monsters are typical of the five scum of war. If they encounter monks, even the lowest level Qi-nourishing monks, as long as they are careful to guard against them, they will not cause much harm.
Although ore-eating monsters will compete with humans for minerals, monks rarely kill ore-eating monsters on a large scale. Because ore-eating monsters are born spirits, their bodies will decompose into energy and dissipate after death, and monks will gain nothing by killing them. Moreover, although the ore-eating monsters swallow the minerals, they will also leave behind the parts they cannot digest, which are more advanced mineral essences.
In other words, they are equivalent to upgrading ordinary minerals into more advanced minerals according to a certain proportion.
Although this ratio is very low, and the ratios of different minerals are also different. According to the value of the mineral before and after, it is not necessarily cost-effective, but for the monks, it is more trouble-free than purifying the materials by themselves.
This is especially true for those minerals with large reserves and low value. Take the commonly used black iron ore as an example. Natural black iron ore is relatively rare and can only be found in some extreme environments, but there are many ordinary iron ores.
of.
Under normal circumstances, it takes about a hundred tons of iron ore to extract one pound of dark iron, which requires monks to spend a lot of time, energy, and a lot of vitality.
Therefore, spiritual miners often receive a job, which is to completely seal a specific mining area with a formation, and specially raise a group of ore-eating monsters inside to improve the level of minerals.
However, this kind of work is based on a time unit of hundreds of years, and it is normal for thousands of years. Only those sects and families with long-term vision and strong strength will do this.
Gao Xingyu didn't even think about taking action against the several ore-eating monsters here. He just released the seal on his acupoints, let the huge power of energy and blood emerge, and lightly scolded "Get out!"
Several ore-eating monsters were frightened and hurriedly hid in the depths of the mineral veins along the cracks.
Gao Xingyu didn't take it seriously and collected the Yinghuo magnetic crystal raw ore from this mine on his own.
Due to the existence of ore-eating monsters, the raw ore in this mine is less than half of the previous mine, but the quality of a few pieces of raw ore is significantly higher than normal ore, which can be regarded as an unexpected harvest for Gao Xingyu.
Gao Xingyu worked hard at this mining site for nearly a month and collected two mining nests in total, fully realizing the purpose of his trip.
It's not that he can't continue to persevere, but in this environment, if he uses Xingyu Xiaozhu frequently, it will cause greater damage to Xingyu Xiaozhu. Compared with collecting more minerals, it seems to be a bit more gain than loss. So, one month after reaching Yinghuo, he activated the teleportation array again and returned to the moon.
Gao Xingyu left the teleportation array, first used his spiritual consciousness to say hello to the unknown senior, then sat cross-legged on the bluestone square and began to meditate and adjust his breath.
The month-long trip to Yinghuo left some hidden wounds on his body, and he was even more exhausted mentally.
Monks are not afraid of loneliness, but in a strange environment full of dangers, a person needs to be on high alert all the time, which is very tiring.
Otherwise, when monks go out on adventures, they usually form teams?
