Chapter 641 Iron-Eating Beast
This is acceptable. "
This time, Jinchao gave an affirmative answer: "Fuguang Island also conducts some trade with the outside world every year."
"The King of the North requires a lot of this kind of ore every year. The famous beacon torches in the three provinces of the North are driven by this kind of ore."
"That beacon torch that can raise the temperature to protect a city from the severe cold." Ye Fan nodded, "What forces are trading here?"
"It's inconvenient to reveal this." Jin Chao said with a reluctant expression, "Prince Ye should be able to understand."
"Understandable." Ye Fan did not pursue the question, but at this time, he was on guard.
It sounds like he and the King of the North are not the only friends of Blessed Light Island.
"How to trade?" After a slight pause, Ye Fan picked up another piece of ore.
"We can discuss this later." Jin Chao replied, leading the way: "We can go shopping around first. If King Ye is interested, I can introduce you to several kinds of ores that Fuguang Island trades with the outside world."
"No problem." Ye Fan nodded and followed Jin Chao forward.
Soon, Ye Fan saw that Fuguang Island was extremely rich in mineral products. There were not only all kinds of strange elemental minerals, but also some with various strange functions.
There are bionic mines that can serve as human bone prostheses, strength mines that can withstand star-level bombardments, and even petri dish mines that can grow strange grass to enhance human abilities...
"With so many strange ores, no wonder Fuguang Island has such powerful technology." After looking around, Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh: "Where did Fuguang Island collect these ores from?"
"It's in the Silver Sea." Jin Chao didn't hide his clumsiness this time and pointed to a passage that appeared in front of him: "Fuguang Island has built ultra-long tunnels in the depths of the same sea areas. Our people can go to these sea areas to collect ore."
"A tunnel leading to the depths?" Ye Fan's eyes showed a hint of surprise: "Won't you be attacked by sea beasts?"
"These tunnels are safe zones that have been summarized after many generations of exploration. They are rarely attacked by sea monsters." Jin Chao shook his head: "There will be accidents occasionally, but the technological power of Fuguang Island will allow us to quickly build new tunnels." tunnel.”
"We also have independently established platforms in the sea area for underwater work. With strong personnel stationed there, we can also respond well to attacks by sea monsters."
"It sounds wonderful." Ye Fan replied, looking towards the passage: "Can I go down and have a look?"
"I'm afraid that's not possible." Jin Chao shook his head quickly: "It's too dangerous for King Ye to go... Oh no, it's too troublesome."
"trouble?"
"Yes, if outsiders want to visit these, they need the consent of the Elder's Palace." Jin Chao replied, fearing that Ye Fan would continue to ask, he quickly patted Haori on the side: "Third brother, didn't you tell King Ye that we are here? Is there a cute iron-eating beast? Why don’t you take King Ye to see it?”
"Okay." Haori agreed, "King Ye, hurry, hurry, I'll take you to see the iron-eating beast."
"Okay." Ye Fan nodded, not bothering about the passage. As Haori left, Jin Chao and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
With Haori taking the lead, Ye Fan and the others quickly passed through the hall filled with ores and came to the house next to them. As soon as they opened the door, the scene in front of them was completely different.
It's lush green, with bamboos everywhere, and it looks like a large bamboo garden.
"King Ye, look quickly, that's the iron-eating beast." Haori pointed in the direction for Ye Fan.
Looking along Haori's fingers, several cute black and white creatures appeared in Ye Fan's sight. These creatures were round and cute in shape. At first glance, they looked like dolls.
"It's really cute." Ye Fan nodded and looked around these iron-eating beasts. When he found out that they were eating bamboo, he was slightly confused: "Isn't it an iron-eating beast? How do you eat bamboo?"
"When they were first discovered on Fuguang Island, these creatures fed on ores." Haori scratched his head: "But our ancestors saw that they were cute and harmless, so they raised them."
"Maybe it's because of the comfortable environment. Gradually, the newly born iron-eating beasts no longer eat ore. In addition to surviving in places with a lot of ore, the food they eat mainly becomes bamboo and fruits."
"King Ye, you should be careful. Although these iron-eating beasts do not hurt people, they are very strong. They are thick-skinned and invulnerable. They are more powerful than ordinary extraordinary creatures." Jin Chao spoke from the side before he could do anything. Say more, only to hear a crash, and a piece of Ye Fan's trousers was ripped off by the iron-eating beast.
"What are you doing! King Ye is a distinguished guest of our Fuguang Island!" Upon seeing this, Haori quickly stretched out his hand to take the iron-eating beast away, "Get out of here!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The iron-eating beast didn't want to, and moved its hands wildly. For a moment, Haori couldn't pick it up. After a while of effort, he picked it up and put it aside.
"Woooo." Seeing the iron-eating beast making a sound and trying to crawl over again, Haori quickly kicked the iron-eating beast away without using much force, and rolled it to the ground, carrying a lot of people with it. dust.
"Can a gold-level beast have such great strength?" Ye Fan also noticed something was wrong, and stretched out his hand to pick up one. The iron-eating beast also struggled in Ye Fan's hands, and Ye Fan pushed it with his claws. I felt a bit of difficulty, and I almost broke free without using any force for a moment.
Ye Fan was surprised, and the strength in his hand increased a little, almost using the power of the star. The iron-eating beast stopped breaking free, gave up resistance, and just tilted his head and leaned on Ye Fan's hand.
"It can be regarded as a natural divine power." After testing for a while, Ye Fan nodded with satisfaction, looked around at the iron-eating beasts, and thought a little: "Such a beast can be used as a mount to form a cavalry team, I am afraid it can be quite terrifying. Its combat power is so powerful that even the cavalry's counterattack can destroy the opponent. "
"King Ye's idea is very good, but it may be difficult to implement." Jin Chao said from the side: "For so many generations on Fuguang Island, they have thought about using iron-eating beasts to form cavalry, but this kind of beast control It seems that he is not naturally aggressive and cannot arouse the desire to fight, and he is easily tempted by food. "
"It has been recorded that someone rode an iron-eating beast to fight. In the middle of the fight, it saw bamboo on the roadside and rushed into the bamboo forest with its owner. As a result, the owner was stabbed eighteen times from behind and died. It has rough skin and thick flesh, but there is nothing wrong with it.”
"That's a bit of a headache." Hearing this, Ye Fan shook his head helplessly. As a riding pet, fighting desire is a very important core element. Without this, there is basically no possibility of becoming a riding pet.
"It's a pity this distance." Ye Fan sighed and touched the head of an iron-eating beast: "Iron-eating beasts have reproduced for so many generations. Isn't there a special individual that has appeared?"
"The reproduction ability of this kind of beast is very poor. Only two pairs of iron-eating beasts will give birth to one cub. If it were not for the protection of Fuguang Island, I am afraid it would have been extinct long ago." Jin Chao shook his head: "As for the special individuals..."
"I know there is one!" Jin Chao was still thinking, and beside him, Haori spoke again: "It's still a cub!"
"Huh?" Hearing this, Ye Fan raised his eyebrows, "Why is it so special?"
"Prince Ye is coming with me." Haori pulled Ye Fan to the depths of the bamboo forest. Jin Chao Tianchen couldn't help but change his face when he heard this.
"This bastard Haori, why is everything shaking out!" Tian Chen muttered: "This intention of surrendering to the enemy is too obvious! What will King Ye do when he sees the iron-eating beast and wants to take it away!"
"Maybe I just want to show off." Jin Chao was helpless and could only wave his hand: "An iron-eating beast is nothing. If King Ye wants to give it to him, that's fine."
"As long as he can be the successor with peace of mind, this price can be regarded as a gift from Fuguang Island."
"That's still acceptable." After hearing this, Tianchen didn't say anything more, but looking at the backs of the two people, it was obvious that he was still a little dissatisfied.
"This bastard, Third Brother, has changed his mind after seeing something different, so he's going to stick it up."
"Why don't you take me with you..."
