In the long underground tunnel, Yue Heng walked forward behind the staff-wielding lizard man.
There was a rustling sound behind him.
A group of green-eyed lizardmen appeared from the darkness, and they followed Yue Heng, keeping a distance of more than ten meters.
The number is increasing.
These lizard men stared at Yue Heng's back, with vicious and resentful expressions flashing in their eyes, and hoarse grunting sounds from their throats from time to time.
When hundreds of lizardmen formed a long dragon in the tunnel, they made a sound like the dragon's breath.
It is full of oppressive feeling.
However, as the target of the lizard people, Yue Heng's pace was extremely steady.
The scene in the tunnel may scare ordinary people out of their wits, but it really has no effect on him.
In his previous life, when he fought in the star world, Yue Heng did not know how many dangers he encountered.
I have seen too many battles that are far bigger than this.
His heart is like a stone, and his will is extremely hard!
At the fork in the road ahead, the stick-wielding lizardman stopped.
It turned around and looked at Yue Heng, with an inexplicable light in its blue Youyou eyes: "You are a real strong man."
Yue Heng smiled: "Is it coming soon?"
He followed the stick-wielding lizardman all the way, going thousands of meters underground.
But more than ten minutes ago, Yue Heng felt that the temperature in the tunnel was rising.
By this time the temperature has reached more than forty degrees!
This is obviously very abnormal.
And he also noticed that the passage on the right was faintly glowing red.
The staff-wielding lizardman nodded, and stepped into the passage on the right.
Yue Heng followed closely behind.
The moment he entered the passage, a fiery breath hit him head-on!
This passage is hundreds of meters long and winding. The deeper it goes, the brighter the light, and the exit is like a burning oven.
The staff-wielding lizardman led him into a crimson cave!
This cave is dozens of times larger than the underground space previously discovered by Yue Heng, and a tumbling magma river flows tens of meters below the entrance of the cave.
The temperature here is over 100c!
The staff-wielding lizardman stood still at the entrance of the cave and conveyed his thoughts to Yue Heng: "What you want is here."
Yue Heng swept his gaze, and immediately saw "ruby mines" of all sizes scattered on both sides of the magma river.
Most of these ores are wrapped in black sandstone, and the exposed crystals are as red as blood, flashing an almost monstrous light.
Yue Heng recognized at a glance that they were exactly the anode energy stones he was looking for!
If the cathode energy stone is the best battery raw material, then the anode energy stone is the best fuel and explosive. Its nature is very unstable, and the energy contained in it is extremely manic.
But as long as you master the method of "taming", the anode energy stone can play an important role in many fields.
For example, as a propulsion engine energy source for a spacecraft!
It is precisely because of the discovery of two kinds of power stones in the astral world that the human beings on the earth can start to enter the interstellar era.
The problem is that if Yue Heng remembers correctly, humans should have discovered energy stones much later than now.
There are a large number of energy stone mines in the world connected by the first star gate in China, probably because of the butterfly effect caused by the return of Yue Xingxinghai.
However, Yue Heng has no time to study this issue for the time being. He is thinking about how to make full use of these two valuable mineral deposits under the existing technological conditions.
The staff-wielding lizardman couldn't help it anymore: "Outside strong man, you can get as much as you want. I hope you get enough and leave here, otherwise we have to continue fighting."
With the increase in the number of conversations with Yue Heng's spirit, it has been able to express more and more complete ideas.
Leave when you have enough?
Yue Heng touched his chin: "Let's talk."
Instead of rushing down to pick up the anode energy stone, he took the initiative to return to the tunnel.
The staff-wielding lizardman hesitated for a moment, then retreated.
It stared at Yue Heng: "Do you want to go back on your word?"
Perhaps it wanted to express its courage to continue fighting, and the bone staff it held tightly radiated a bright light suddenly.
In the tunnel behind Yue Heng, hundreds of lizardmen let out threatening roars at the same time.
Some lizardfolk even want to attack.
But it's a trick to cast a mouse.
Yue Heng unhurriedly took it out from the storage space
Bread, rice, cooking oil, salt, javelins, kitchen knives, luncheon meat, and even fruit!
These foods and daily necessities were suspended in the air under the influence of his mental power, and displayed one by one in front of the stick-wielding lizard man: "You can choose what you like."
There is no upper limit or limit to the needs of the Star Alliance in the previous life for cathode energy stones and anode energy stones.
The same is true for Yue Heng.
The staff-wielding lizardman meant to let him take as much as he could and leave.
However, Yue Heng wanted them all!
Under such circumstances, he has only two choices.
Conquer or trade!
Human beings in previous lives have encountered countless intelligent life in the process of exploring the star world.
Or the natives of the star world.
The natives of the star world are full of strange things and have different levels of civilization, and there are many extraordinary life forms.
As for the earth humans who "invade" their world, the natives of the star world have different reactions. Some are friendly, while others are hostile, and some would rather kill their race than fight to the death.
In the early period of the golden three hundred years, the exploration of the astral world by world powers such as Shenzhou, Microcon, and Europa gradually reached a climax, and the development strategies adopted were quite different.
Myrican and Europa, relying on their strong civilization, tried to use massacres to expand their territories, just like they did to the aborigines of the New World hundreds of years ago.
As a result, he suffered a disastrous loss.
But Shenzhou is just the opposite. When encountering intelligent races in the astral world, they will never use force unless it is absolutely necessary, and prefer to use transactions to gain living space.
Facts have proved that Shenzhou's method is the most correct, and it was later recognized as the first criterion for the Star Alliance to open up new star realms.
That is, transaction is higher than force!
Yue Heng is currently adopting such a strategy.
He has a storage space, which is very convenient for trading with the natives of the star world.
Conquering by force is the second-best option. Even if the Lizardmen cannot defeat them, as long as the underground passages are destroyed, it will be extremely difficult to obtain these energy stones.
And Yue Heng's actions obviously greatly exceeded the expectations of the staff-wielding lizardman.
It raised the bone staff in its hand, restraining the impulse of the clansmen.
The tunnel instantly became very quiet.
The gaze of the lizard leader swept over the items floating in front of him, his nose twitching slightly.
From time to time, doubts flashed in its eyes.
Most of the things Yue Heng took out were beyond its comprehension.
But there was one thing that caught the staff lizardman's attention.
