#331 - Chapter 331: Aquamarine Weapons
Before even getting close, Qi Jing noticed that there weren't any finished Xuelanjing ores inside, but rather weapons made from them.
Spears and knives, and some shields.
However, Xuelanjing seemed to be very scarce, as only the spearheads and blades of these weapons were made of this material, and only a thin layer of Xuelanjing covered the surface of the shields. There wasn't a large accumulation like in the previous room.
But these were all very large, a size bigger than the weapons they used.
"What? It's just some cold weapons, and they look very brittle."
After Xiao Xin broke into the room, she was slightly disappointed to find only weapons.
She picked up a broken spear and snapped it with force.
Crack, it broke.
"Never mind the spearhead, even the shaft isn't durable."
After raising her head to tell Si Kong Yaoyao and the others that this spear wasn't as strong as her arm, she picked up a knife and gently bent it with two fingers:
"Hey, it didn't break. It seems these blue crystals are harder than those ceramics. I'll try adding more force."
She put on gloves from her pocket, pressed her ten fingers together and stretched them forward, making a crisp sound.
Then she started to grip both ends of the knife and exert force:
"Hey / Ha \\"
After wasting the effort of a full meal, she finally bent the knife about twenty degrees.
"Not bad."
Aunt Xiao Xin, seeing that she hadn't successfully shown off, grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands, pointed the tip at the ground, and began to press down hard.
Qi Jing, watching this scene, felt that the knife would break at any moment, and that he might accidentally get hit in the face by the fragments, so he hid behind Tan Zuoyin.
Although he was also wearing a combat suit, and with his reaction speed he could completely dodge, it was like watching someone blow up a balloon; he was afraid if he didn't cover his ears!
"Zhaoyin, protect me."
"Don't worry, I'll take the hit."
But after several seconds passed, Aunt Xiao Xin still hadn't broken the knife.
No matter how hard she tried, the knife seemed to be stuck by something, preventing her from changing its shape, only bending it to about thirty degrees.
"Axi Ba!"
Qi Jing, hiding behind Tan Zuoyin, secretly laughed, not expecting Aunt Xiao Xin to get angry with a knife and even swear, haha.
He saw her place the knife diagonally against the corner of the wall, and then kick it.
Ding—
A crisp metallic sound came, and the knife finally couldn't withstand Aunt Xiao Xin's torment, and ultimately surrendered, breaking into two pieces.
Seeing that the fragments of the knife didn't splash towards him, Qi Jing also stood out from behind Tan Zuoyin.
"Auntie is amazing!"
"It's okay, it's okay, so-so. I think these knives are pretty good, you guys take a few more." Aunt Xiao Xin instantly felt much better after hearing the praise she wanted to hear.
The current Qi Jing was already a successful flatterer.
Mainly because of Yan Cheng's influence, with him around all day, Qi Jing, even if he was mute, could open his mouth and say a few words of praise.
"Quick, take a few more, you can get more points when you turn them in."
In fact, turning it in, in her mouth, meant selling it to the research institute to earn points.
This was because her team had once reached an agreement with the research institute, that the research institute would supply them with advanced weapons and equipment, in exchange for having to sell any otherworldly items they couldn't use to the research institute, so in her mouth it became turning it in.
The quality of these weapons was not bad, and they should be able to get a lot of points when turned in.
After Qi Jing collected a few, he followed them out and continued to search.
Si Kong Yaoyao asked:
"Why can you tell the quality of these weapons just by looking at their hardness? Don't you need to look at their sharpness?"
"Because sharpness can be sharpened. If it's not sharp enough, you can just sharpen it a bit, but its hardness cannot be easily changed," Qi Jing explained.
"Oh."
It must be said that the underground environment was a bit depressing. Even though its height was much higher than a normal human corridor, it still made the few of them feel uncomfortable.
After searching dozens more ordinary caves with beds, the vitality they had just gained almost disappeared.
"We've been searching for so long, why haven't we seen the text that Old Gou mentioned? He said it was some blue fluorescent characters painted on the wall, it should be easy to find, right?"
They came down to search for good things. If you had to say what was most important, it must be the text left by this race.
Knowledge is power!
If those characters could bring brand new technology, or even reforms, that would be much more important than the Xuelanjing in the space pouch.
Tan Zuoyin said, "I want to try."
"Xiaoyinyin, what good idea do you have?"
Xiao Xin sized up Tan Zuoyin's armor. She hadn't paid attention to the material and function of this armor just now, thinking it was just a small style from the research institute, but now it seemed to be more advanced than those things.
This hardness, this feel, it looks very good.
It feels much more comfortable than the bio-armor they use, hard and very safe.
"Could it be that your armor has some strange tracking function?"
She thought Tan Zuoyin's idea was on this armor.
Actually, it wasn't.
Tan Zuoyin said:
"My ability can listen to the voices of all things. If I listen carefully, maybe I can hear their tracks and what they see from the wind."
This semester, not only Qi Jing was making progress, but she was also making herself stronger.
That is to develop her ability and allow herself to hear the voices of inanimate objects.
Since the grass can talk, why can't the wind?
Si Kong Yaoyao asked doubtfully: "Listen to the wind? There's no wind here, can you listen to the soil? It's all soil here, it should be easier to listen to."
So deep underground, as long as you are not close to the entrance of the cave, it is generally impossible for air to flow.
Tan Zuoyin shook her head: "No, I'm only a half-baked listener to the wind right now, listening to the soil is even more impossible."
She had also thought about listening to something else, but they were not suitable, either too big or too clumsy.
For example, a small pebble, like the grass, can only stay in one place, doesn't say as much as the grass, and cannot communicate, so listening to it is useless.
And the land, the sea, these are too big, it is difficult for them to even notice Tan Zuoyin, let alone talk to her.
After thinking about it, the wind is the most suitable. Most of them are not that big, and they are constantly flowing, which is very suitable for conveying information.
So Tan Zuoyin only practiced listening to the sound of the wind.
Xiao Xin took out a large fan:
"If there's no wind, you can make it. Isn't it simple to make the air flow?"
"Just make it so hard?"
That's too tiring. Find something in the space that can be used.
Daobao Taoist Qi Jing searched for the first time in the "Maybe Useful Area" of his treasure house.
