Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 123: The Alien Superpower

However, Hong Bo's answer once again refreshed his understanding of the guide: "That's not the case. The bronze dragon demon hasn't shown any intention of attacking you yet. Oh, right..."

He suddenly thought of something and quickly took out a beautifully wrapped metal box. "This is what the Prophet asked me to give you. Inside is the copper core of the Copper Dragon Demon's avatar, left behind after its death. I hope you like it."

"...Then thank you for your Lord Prophet's kindness."

Liu Hen didn't know what to say, so he asked Chang Xin to bring the box over.

When he opened the box, a demonic aura hit him in the face, but it was quickly suppressed by the power of the campfire.

What appeared in his field of vision was a fist-sized piece of brass, with a strong texture and a faint yellow light.

Even though he had never seen such a thing before, he realized that it was a good thing.

"The life force core of metal life, the breakthrough material for metal-type psychics, and it can be used by metal-type psychics at least at the peak of the third level."

Hong Ming on the side exclaimed: "What a generous person, even giving away something like this."

Breakthrough material for metal-type mutants?

Liu Hen's eyes flashed, and he calmly put the things into his space backpack, then looked at Hong Bo with a smile on his face: "Mr. Hongbo, you must be tired from the journey. Please come into the village to rest."

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. However, we have important matters to attend to and need to report back to the prophet as soon as possible. I will not disturb you any further."

Hong Bo quickly refused: "I have delivered the message from the prophet, so I will take my leave now."

"Wait a moment." Liu Hen called out hurriedly.

Hong Bo and others felt a pang of fear in their hearts.

Liu Hen said with a smile: "Mr. Hongbo, what do you think of my travel village?"

When Hong Bo saw Liu Hen's expression, he felt a little uneasy, wondering why this psychic would ask such a question.

However, he still answered truthfully: "This place is like a pure land in the night fog world, isolated from the extreme cold of the outside world, it is like heaven."

"Mr. Hongbo, what do you think it feels like to live in a place like this?" Liu Hen asked again.

Chang Xin and Hong Ming both looked over in confusion.

Hong Bo didn't know what was going on in his mind. Sweat broke out on his forehead. He answered with a stiff upper lip: "People who can live in a place like this are definitely extremely lucky."

Liu Hen glanced at the sweat on Hong Bo's forehead with doubt, and spoke again: "I have a suggestion. Why don't you form a caravan in your camp to trade exclusively with my Journey Village? I will provide your caravan with a comfortable living environment, and the trade will mainly be flint and tree cakes. Of course, if there is a silver mine, that would be even better. What do you think, Mr. Hongbo?"

The reason for this suggestion was that he suddenly thought that if the Hongluo Camp really dug through the earth and connected to the underground sea, they might be able to find underwater silver mines and other mineral veins.

It just so happened that he and his companions were trapped here by a snowstorm and it was difficult to continue migrating. It would be best if they could trade for silver mines.

"I will convey your suggestion to the Prophet." Hong Bo answered stiffly.

"I'm waiting for good news from your prophet." Liu Hen smiled and nodded.

Hong Bo and others turned around and left as if they had been pardoned.

After walking a long way, they remembered something, hurried back to the door to retrieve their weapons, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness in the blizzard.

"..."

This embarrassed look shocked everyone.

"This is the underground human race? It really refreshes this city lord's worldview."

Hong Ming couldn't help but sneer: "You are too timid."

"You are no longer the city lord."

Liu Hen woke up Hong Ming who was still dreaming.

Chang Xin asked curiously, "Will the demon behind the Hongluo Camp agree to your proposal?"

"Hard to say."

Liu Hen shook his head: "See if the other party is really that afraid of me."

Based on his understanding of the guide party, the guide party will blindly believe that the enemy is strong enough and cannot be provoked. They will blindly imagine various situations and at the same time feel from the bottom of their hearts that what they are doing is right.

However, based on the current information, it is difficult to directly conclude that the conch is really the guide.

The other party may simply want to draw a line and cut off any possible cause and effect.

"You guys keep busy, I'll be out for a while."

He stepped out of the village and headed into the darkness against a stronger wind than before, ready to test his gun.

Seeing this, Heishi and the Wu brothers and sisters immediately put down what they were doing and followed.

“Whoosh, whoosh…”

The wind was noticeably stronger. I didn't know if it was the same in other places or if it was just because of the huge temperature difference in this area.

The occasional tornado can even sweep ordinary people away.

After leaving the shelter of the campfire, the biting cold wind blew in my face, and the snow under my feet had piled up to my calves.

As night begins to fall, the temperature is dropping rapidly. The temperature outside is already between minus 60 and 70 degrees Celsius. Without sufficient warming measures, ordinary people will freeze to death in a short time.

However, Liu Hen, who was wearing a bronze-level thermal suit, was safe and sound, and the Wu brothers and sisters and Xiao Heishi who followed behind were also not affected at all.

During this period, Chang Xin began to lead people to clear out the monsters nearby and escort the mining team, causing the number of monsters nearby to decrease rapidly.

Liu Hen walked all the way to the distance, and after walking two or three kilometers, he finally encountered a two-armed monster that was rolling and crawling towards him, blown by the strong wind.

He immediately raised his pistol, and the moment the aiming crosshairs overlapped with the monster, he pulled the trigger.

A hole was instantly shot through the monster's head, and its body turned into light, transforming into a magic crystal and falling to the ground.

'not bad.'

Liu Hen nodded in satisfaction and continued walking forward, ignoring the fallen magic crystals because someone would come to pick them up.

Little Heishi followed silently behind, while the Wu brothers and sisters who were further behind picked up the magic crystals along the way.

After walking a few hundred meters, more two-armed monsters approached, and this time there were three of them.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Liu Hen fired three shots in succession, each shot hitting the monster's head and killing it easily.

"This is a weapon a man should use!"

He sighed, feeling more and more satisfied, and continued to move forward, moving forward in the darkness, wanting to have enough fun at once.

Now he has various high-powered weapons such as the Home Cannon, and the pistol is really just a toy compared to those things.

But this thing was something he had dreamed of playing with in his previous life. He didn't have the chance to play with it in his previous life, so naturally he had to play with it to his heart's content in this life.

He just walked ahead and killed as he went. He didn't need to waste time picking up the magic crystals, as the Wu brothers and sisters would pick them up without missing a single one.

Suddenly, a six-armed monster appeared within the sensing range and was approaching quickly.

Liu Hen immediately put away his pistol, took out the UZI submachine gun, aimed in that direction and pulled the trigger.

"Tu tu tu tu——"

With the help of the crosshairs, the dense bullets turned it into a sieve in an instant.

The next moment, the six-armed monster's body melted into a ball of light, exploded into eight magic crystals, scattered around, and was blown away by the strong wind.

The Wu brothers and sisters behind hurried to chase after them.

"Nothing more than that!"

Liu Hen's lips curled up slightly, and he finally experienced the feeling of "the truth is in my hands, and the world is mine."

Finally, after more than two hours, he killed more than two hundred two-armed monsters, seven or eight four-armed monsters, and one six-armed monster. He had enough fun and started to walk back.

This place is four or five kilometers away from the Lutu Village. Because he didn't bring a campfire this time, he didn't dare to go too far.

Looking at Journey Village from this position, there are lights in all four directions of the village, which is very eye-catching in the darkness, but also looks very lonely.

Liu Hen couldn't help but think that if he were alone all the time, in such extreme cold and darkness, he would probably go crazy.

After all, he was not a native of this world, and it was difficult for him to adapt to the absolute loneliness. He would definitely not be able to bear it if he stayed alone for too long.

Fortunately, although the current Journey Village cannot be said to be very lively, it is at least very popular. Because of his deliberate guidance, those children who have eaten and have nothing to do run around all day long, adding a lot of vitality to the village.

After returning to the village safely, Liu Hen went straight to the village chief's residence and upgraded the workbench again.

It takes eighty hours to upgrade from Bronze Level 8 to Bronze Level 9, which is more than three days and close to four days.

In the following time, he would collect the copper ore dug up by the villagers whenever he had time, and collect it into relatively pure small pieces of copper ore and store them.

Or occasionally study recipes and try to come up with new foods to change the taste.

If the Hongluo Camp accepted his proposal and could bring back tree cakes and wood-mud meat cakes, they would be able to eat them for a longer period of time. He still had more than 100 kilograms of horse meat that had not been collected, so he could get a lot of horse meat paste.

But if the Hongluo Camp does not accept his proposal, the wood mud meat rice cake will be a lost delicacy, and other foods must be prepared.

"boom--"

On the second day after the workbench was upgraded, a collision sound suddenly came from the distance.

"Boom boom boom..."

I saw two rays of light flashing continuously and moving back and forth a thousand meters away.

Liu Hen, who was studying a recipe, was startled and rushed out of the village.

Hong Ming also chased after him.

At the same time, Little Black Stone, who was playing with the group of children, directly controlled the giant stone guards to catch up quickly.

The three of them reacted quickly and approached the battlefield quickly because they saw that one of the two sides in the battle was Chang Xin, and Chang Xin had encountered a strong enemy.

"It's a superpower!"

Hong Ming said solemnly from a distance: "There are other people with special abilities coming here. I hope they are just passing by."

Liu Hen's heart sank, and he was worried when suddenly two rays of light in the darkness quickly separated.

Liu Hen, the fastest one, has already arrived, followed closely by Hong Ming, and further behind him is Xiao Heishi, who is lying on the shoulder of the giant stone guard.

"What's going on?" Liu Hen glanced at Chang Xin, who was intact, and Zhang Mianmian, who was lying on the ground with a slightly deformed body, and then moved his gaze to a hundred meters away.

There, a man covered in blood was looking at them with a dull expression, as if he was thinking about how to escape.

"What the hell..."

A hundred meters away, Helian Xiao's scalp tingled. "I just stole a piece of ore, and they sent out one, two, three, four... four and a half superpowered people to hunt me down... Is this the lair of the gods?!"
