Chapter 169 - Rare Resource: Sweet Dew
Chapter 169: Rare Resource: Sweet Dew
[Sweet Dew]
[Level: Extraordinary]
[Rarity: Superior (Rare)]
[Description: This is a spiritual liquid that’s a mixture of rainwater and the essence of nature. It can increase the longevity of most creatures and accelerate the growth of many plants. It’s said that higher-level Sweet Dew can even bring the dead plants back to life!]
Just like the Twin Dragon Mount, the mountain where the Eagle Men set up their base also had a “lake” on the top.
The Eagle Men’s lake was much smaller than that on the Twin Dragon Mount in terms of capacity. It was no more than one meter in diameter.
However, the water in the lake was much more valuable than that on the Twin Dragon Mount, which only received some frigidity because of its proximity to Frigid Iron.
“Besides, the Sweet Dew has a long history!”
Ji Ye remembered where he had seen it before.
In Journey to the West, another one of the Four Great Classical Novels that was even more popular than Water Margin, Monkey King saved the ginseng fruit free that he uprooted exactly with the Sweet Dew that a great Buddhist offered him!
Its ability to bring the dead fruit tree back to life was definitely similar to the description of the Sweet Dew in the lake.
Also, technically speaking, while the Garuda that was highly related to the Eagle Men was mythical creatures from Insan, it was one of the eight famous creatures in Buddhism too.
Moreover, after it was introduced to Chidragon, the Garuda’s image even melted with another creature, which was “Gold-Winged Eagle”!
“Is it possible that the things in the Eagle Men’s settlement have some powerful backgrounds, like those on the Twin Dragon Mount?”
Ji Ye couldn’t help but think to himself.
Also, as he searched his memories, he even found that the mountain that the Eagle Men were based on looked slightly like a statue that was sitting cross-legged.
The green gale might be this statue’s “breath”, whereas the “golden light” was the aura behind the head of this statue…
“Okay, there’s no need to freak myself out!
“If it’s really a creature in that level, it could’ve easily leveled the Twin Dragon Mount fort with one slap.
“Besides, I’ve fused the heritage of the Steelback Blue Wolf, refined the Jade Stone Scorpion into Pipa, and killed the descendants of the Mountain God and the Flood Dragon Bloodline… I’ve already pissed off too many people. One more of them isn’t a big deal…”
Ji Ye wasn’t worried at all. He focused his attention on the Sweet Dew before his eyes.
For him, the most important thing about this item wasn’t the improvement of longevity, but the acceleration of plants.
That function reminded him of the protagonist in one of the novels he read, who became a deity through cultivation by gathering fluids and ripening herbs with a bottle that he carried.
Of course, the Sweet Dew he had wouldn’t be so marvelous since it was only Extraordinary.
However, it was still of great significance to the Twin Dragon Mount fort.
It must be noted that Ji Ye still had the seed of the Tree Demon that he reaped from the Battlefield of Providence and that of the Bloodsoul Vine Tree from the Soul race.
It required a great number of resources to grow those trees. Since all the resources had to be used against the Eagle Men, they were never planted.
At this moment, it would be an option to plant them!
With the Sweet Dew, the greatest shortcoming of those plants, which was their slow growth, would be addressed.
“This Sweet Dew must be another reason why the Eagle Men leveled up so quickly.”
Ji Ye fetched a handful of the Sweet Dew and drank it. He felt a vigorous power entering his body and nurturing his mind and his soul. The agony all over his body because of the continuous blow of the green gales was greatly soothed.
The Sweet Dew equaled rainwater that gathered the essence of nature. If one drank it for a long time, one’s physical qualities and even talents could be improved.
“Maybe I should consider exchanging this thing on Earth.”
The cooperation between the Twin Dragon Mount fort and the Su Corporation had been negotiated. After he entered the Battlefield of Providence, there would be enough time for him to fuse the Stone Milk and the Black Mud.
This “Sweet Dew” could be another option for his fusion.
“Longevity” and “rejuvenation” were apparently not contradictory. In fact, they would be better received on the market if they were sold as a package!
“However, as a special resource, the spirituality in the Sweet Dew would be gone quickly if it wasn’t preserved in a special way. I can’t plant the seeds here either.
“Also, after I enter the Battlefield of Providence in a day or two, how the saplings can continue to be irrigated by the Sweet Dew will be another problem.”
Ji Ye looked around, but the gales were too strong at the peak of the Eagle Men’s mountain for regular people to climb.
After he entered the Battlefield of Providence, he estimated that only the heroes who could resist the green gales could reach this place and irrigate the trees.
“I hope that the Pure Blue Glass Heart can attract the hero that I expected!”
Ji Ye turned the Radiant Gold Bow into a bottle and filled it with the Sweet Dew. After that, he returned to the Twin Dragon Mount fort.
“The resources from the three settlements that the Eagle Men conquered have been sorted out.”
On Ji Ye’s way back, the others had already finished examining the other settlements.
As the “butler” of the fort, Su Nongying was reporting to him.
“The territory of the first alien group is a desert. The main resources there are different types of sand.
“For example, there’s one type of sand that’s similar to the red wood. It can quickly absorb water and expand from sand into stone. Also, the grains of this type of sand can stick to each other and form a whole wall without leaving any gap!”
During the battle, the Eagle Men had built many fortifications with this type of sand to resist human beings.
Also, those fortifications were so hard that they could even resist the bombardment of the cannons. However, the defenders in them could only flee when they were faced with the poisonous fog that Gongsun Sheng controlled.
“The environment of the second alien group is even stranger. Their whole settlement is made of high-temperature magma. The Magma Raw Stones that are produced in there can transform the ground it hit into magma quickly.
“Apart from the Magma Raw Stones, there’s also a ‘Fire Escape Stone’ around them that can completely block fire and heat.”
Everybody from the Twin Dragon Mount fort had a deep impression of that.
Many soldiers had been hit by the magma balls from the sky or ahead and burned into ashes during the battle.
If they didn’t have the Mahogany Shield that could, to some extent, resist the flames, there would’ve been greater casualties.
But those stones belonged to them now, and they would make better use of the resources than the Eagle Men did.
“In addition, we’ve found a sulfur mine here, which will be very significant for the next step of our industrial development.
“The settlement of the last alien group is called ‘Mushroom Ridge’. All kinds of fungi of weird qualities are growing there…”
The colorless and deluding “perfume” that the Eagle Men adopted during the battle was exactly refined from one particular type of mushrooms. It was supposed to be one of the Eagle Men’s ultimate tricks, but obviously, it didn’t work on Gongsun Sheng who was already Extraordinary Rank-5!
Of course, not all the resources had been listed in such a short amount of time.
But the resources that had been found were all very useful to the Twin Dragon Mount fort.
