Chapter 168: Eagle Men’s Extraordinary Resources
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Well, let’s go through the resources in the Eagle Men’s territory first!”
They definitely weren’t going to the City of Humans now.
Because the Twin Dragon Mount needed some planning before entering the City of Humans.
Moreover, even though the Battlefield of Providence was what he mainly needed, there were a lot more people who were qualified to go there this time.
Not only combative players like Yang Zhi, Wu Song, Gongsun Sheng, and Li Qing were qualified, even non-combative players such as Su Nongying, Elder Jiao, and Shang Yan had also gained the qualification because they had made enough contribution to enter the city.
Management personnel like Su Nongying and Shang Yan couldn’t follow them into the Battlefield of Providence, and they were mainly in charge of trading resources.
Ji Ye had decided after last time that he would bring professionals to other settlements to do business to save himself from potential troubles.
This time, things would be easier for him.
Since he wanted to do business this time, he would have to sort out all the resources they had now.
What special resources would the Extraordinary Rank-4 Eagle Men settlement have?
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Using Distance Reduction, Ji Ye walked up the cliff along the nests the Eagle Men built.
“The wind is so strong!”
About 600 m up, he felt the pressure of the wind.
And it grew heavier as he ascended. When he was about 700 m up, Ji Ye found several bones with a blue glow in a nest.
[Wind Bone]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-1]
[Rarity: Common]
[Description: Eagle Men put the bones of the creatures they had killed in the nest, and an extraordinary object was created after it was exposed to the Blue Wind that contained a special power.]
Apparently, this was the main material the Eagle Men used to make their arrows. What was extraordinary about it was that it could offset the air resistance and gravity with the blue light.
However, technically speaking, the bones weren’t the Eagle Men’s resources. Rather, it was the Blue Wind that made these bones.
The bones were only the remains of common creatures, and the Extraordinary power was only gained after they had the blue glow from the continuous exposure to the Blue Wind.
The more blue light was fused into the bones, the higher ranks and quality would the bones have.
The Wind Bones he just found were only Common ones, because all the high-quality ones had been taken away to make into weapons for the battle against the humans.
For instance, there were several Superior Wind Bones in his Void Ring.
“There are more than Wind Bones in the ring. There are some metals with the blue glow and even other materials. That is to say, the wind in the Eagle Men’s settlement can be used to refine objects.
“Maybe we can try to bring some of the metals in the Metal Men’s settlement here, making them into Wind Copper and Wind Steel. Bullets and cannonballs made from such metals should be very effective!”
An idea came to Ji Ye’s mind.
Theoretically, bullets made from such metals should have great accuracy and speed.
The only problem was probably the bullets’ size. The Eagle Men’s arrows were over 130 m long, which was why they could still have the blue glow after they flew for 500 m. The bullets were simply too light…
“It seems that we’ll have to work on bullets with a larger caliber. We can bring some metals here to see which one can absorb more Blue Wind.”
Ji Ye put the Wind Bones back, letting the wind keep blowing on them.
He also had another idea.
Since materials fused with the wind had the property to defy air resistance and gravity, maybe they would be able to build the legendary antigravity aircraft.
If not, at least common fighter planes would be plausible!
“Wait, this Blue Wind could also refine the divine sense to enhance the mental power?”
When Ji Ye walked further up against the strong Blue Wind until he was about 800 m away, Ji Ye found out about something else.
This Blue Wind could seep into hard bones and even metals, so it could of course penetrate the human body. After staying in it for a while, Ji Ye realized that his Extraordinary Rank-6 mental power had been enhanced a little.
The closer he was, the stronger the wind, and the more obvious the enhancement on his divine sense.
That was why the stronger members of the Eagle Men would live where the wind was the strongest.
“Phew… Eagle Men really are a resilient race.”
Ji Ye was delighted to learn that, but he sighed in amazement as well.
The feeling of the Blue Wind on the skin wasn’t very pleasant. He felt as if tiny needles were jabbing into every bone in his body.
He was only 800 m up, and he hadn’t been there for long. Those Eagle Men, on the other hand, stayed in these nests all day long, enduring the strong Blue Wind.
Unlike the humans, Eagle Men didn’t have an ample amount of resources from the ocean. They didn’t obtain Extraordinary members of about the same ratio as that of the humans by chance alone. They had even fostered a lot of Extraordinary Rank-4 and -5 Quai-Commanders and Elites.
“If necessary, we can bring some of the unruly new players here to ‘hone’ them a little.
“They’ll be trapped here, and the strong wind will make it impossible for them to stand up. Most people will have to give in!”
A new idea came to Ji Ye as he moved further up.
Even so, he might not actually put it into use.
Because the defiant players had pretty much died off in the battle against the Eagle Men.
Moreover, dumping them here would be such a waste of resources.
The Extraordinary power of the Blue Wind wasn’t unlimited. Otherwise, the Eagle Men could bring all their members here in the wind, and they would all become Extraordinary.
As Ji Ye walked further up, he began to see a flickering gold light.
[Radiant Gold]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-3]
[Rarity: Excellent (Rare)]
[Description: A very rare metal that could enhance its own quality by absorbing the sunlight. It has a unique power to change shape.]
In the rocks on the mountain where the Eagle Men dwelled, Ji Ye found a golden material that seemed to be formed by light only. It was none other than the rare metal that was used to build the bow dropped by the beta tester Eagle Man.
This metal could absorb the sunlight to create a unique Extraordinary power that was of the light attribute.
When controlled by mental power, it could even change its shape.
Theoretically, a piece of equipment built by the Radiant Gold could be used as armor, shield, bow, saber, or a spear in the battle, depending on the actual situation.
However, the Radiant Gold was only produced in a tiny amount.
The Eagle Men only added a little Radiant Gold to the tip of their arrows.
Even the Extraordinary Rank-5 members didn’t all have Radiant Gold weapons.
But it wouldn’t be a problem for the humans.
Because the human settlement had reached Extraordinary Rank-5. All they needed to do was to devour the Eagle Men’s settlement core, and they could accelerate the production of the Radiant Gold by spending the power of providence.
It was unlikely that everyone would have a Radiant Gold weapon, but every Commander Hero should be able to have one.
The Wind Bones and the Radiant Gold were obviously the Eagle Men’s key resources.
One could tell it from their combat style. By cultivating the Battle Aura, the Eagle Men could mimic the property of various objects. The blue light that turned into wings was the imitation of the Blue Wind, whereas the golden light between their brows was the imitation of the Radiant Gold.
However, when Ji Ye was about 999 m up the mountain and almost reached the top, he found something else unexpectedly.
There was an even rarer resource!
