Chapter 361: Mining Un'Goro Crater
As more and more earth elemental creatures complete the excavation task, the obsidian on the ground also piles up into hills.
Of course, this hill is the hill in the adjective.
It's not the kind of hill that's a few hundred meters high.
If there really was such a big hill made of obsidian, Herad would have definitely stopped working and gone back to upgrading the obsidian battleship.
Even so, the quantity of obsidian obtained in the Silithus Desert still satisfied Herad.
The mountains of obsidian can be piled up to form an eighteen-story residential building.
Although the obsidian in front of me is a rough stone with very low purity.
It still needs to be refined to become true obsidian.
However, no matter how low the purity of the original stone is, the obsidian content is still over 30%.
It’s no small sum to extract.
It is estimated that tens of thousands of tons will definitely be indispensable.
Looking at the obsidian piled into a hill, Herad used the powerful power of Khazgoroth's Hammer to cast a huge flame storm.
The elemental flames emerging from the ground completely enveloped the area where the obsidian hill was located.
The flame storm used by Herard caused the flames to rise more than fifty meters high, covering an extremely large area of 30,000 to 40,000 square meters.
And it is different from the regular flame storm that dissipates in two or three seconds.
It had been burning for more than ten seconds, but still showed no sign of dissipating.
This scene, like a city on fire, lasted for several minutes before it ended.
To be precise, it was Herald who discovered that the obsidian was melted.
Then he stopped channeling the energy of the fire element.
Without the fire element energy replenishment, this super flame storm is over.
The molten obsidian magma separated the impurities contained in it under the powerful effect of earth spells.
Obsidian is very difficult to refine.
Without a powerful elemental spell caster, it would be impossible to complete the refining step.
Looking at the whole of Azeroth, there are not many races that can be seriously refined.
Therefore, only night elves and trolls have a long history of using obsidian equipment.
After the War of the Ancients, the night elves began to reject unnatural spellcasters.
This makes them lose the ability to purify obsidian.
You can only obtain finished obsidian equipment by selling raw stones to high elves.
Night elves who have abandoned their martial arts cannot be easily awakened.
The night elf sentry troops patrolling along the road saw scattered stone men wandering along the way, and they were very confused.
Stonemen often haunt the northernmost valleys of the Silithus Desert.
But this is already the central region, so there is no reason to wander here.
Although the stone men did not attack them, and they could also see smashed earth-boring insects along the way.
These experienced sentries did not dare to relax their vigilance.
Of course, he didn't take the initiative to attack the stone man.
As the sentries patrolled cautiously, there was a faint glow of fire on the distant horizon.
It was obviously unusual to see fire from such a distance.
The sentries urged the night saber mounts to speed up and go to see what was going on over there.
Nightsabers move very quickly.
It only took them half an hour to send the sentry to its destination.
But Herard was very efficient.
The sentries who came at full speed only saw a large pool of hot magma.
Looking at the large magma pool in front of him, the sentry captain scratched his ears in confusion.
"How come there is such a large magma pool in the desert?"
The other sentries expressed their own opinions.
"Could it be a volcanic eruption?"
"It's definitely not a volcanic eruption! I didn't see any uplift on the ground."
"Well, no matter how small a volcanic eruption is, the ground must be uplifted a little." Everyone discussed After thinking for a while, I finally thought it was caused by some fire spell.
But on the endless desert desert, no spellcaster could be seen.
While the sentries searched relentlessly near the magma pool, trying to find the message left by the instigator, Herad was already working in the Un'Goro Crater east of the Silithus Desert.
Un'Goro Crater is a vertically depressed basin located in the southern continent of Kalimdor.
To the west is the Silithus Desert, which has a very harsh natural environment and is almost abandoned.
In the Tanaris Desert to the east, the natural environment there is relatively good, and there is still a lot of permanent population.
As for Un'Goro Crater, the population is no greater than that of Silithus Desert.
And they are all migrants.
This is not determined by the quality of the natural environment.
If we simply evaluate the level of the natural environment, the lush vegetation and tree-lined areas here are comparable to the Ashenvale where the night elves live.
Due to its low terrain, Un'Goro Crater has abundant water resources.
And this is the south of the continent, belonging to the tropical or subtropical region.
Therefore, Un'Goro Crater is a typical tropical rainforest landform.
The lush tropical rainforest can dissuade many settlers.
If they have to choose between a tropical rain forest and a desert that is not very short of water, many people will choose the desert that is not very short of water.
No one wants to face those terrifying mosquitoes and ferocious beasts in the tropical rain forest.
In addition to all the dangers of a tropical rainforest, Un'Goro Crater also has many dinosaurs that are not very common in the outside world.
Dinosaurs, such cold-blooded creatures, are very powerful in combat!
The dinosaurs that can be seen in the outside world at present are all small dinosaurs such as Velociraptor.
But here you can see the Raptor, which is larger than the Velociraptor, everywhere.
Occasionally, you can also see the very large Devilsaurus.
The kind of giant dinosaur that could swallow a man in one bite.
The sky is not safe either, with pterodactyls flying over from time to time.
Pterodactyls were not very large.
But there is still no problem in jumping down and knocking people down, or grabbing them and flying a short distance!
For ordinary people, pterodactyls are not a small threat.
Most people would not be able to survive here under the service of a dinosaur three-piece suit.
Even the powerful night elves are unwilling to pass by here on the ground.
Only a small number of explorers will stay in the dangerous Un'Goro Crater for a short period of time.
The destination chosen by Herard was the Fire Feather Mountain located in the central area of Un'Goro Crater.
Huoyu Mountain is a relatively active dormant volcano.
On its huge mountain, there are many places where magma is still gushing out.
Therefore, no dinosaurs or other creatures will come to Fire Plume Mountain to seek death.
After all, no one wants to be made into a teppanyaki.
Choosing to stay here means you won’t be disturbed by those annoying guys in the rainforest.
Of course, not causing too much killing is the most important thing!
Once the dinosaurs rush up without mercy, Herad will definitely kill them.
It is difficult for dinosaurs to retreat from difficulties because of their not very bright brains.
So killing will attract more dinosaurs, filling the bloody slaughterhouse that opens.
In order not to cause a meaningless bloody tragedy, Herard could only choose the harsh place of Fire Feather Mountain.
However, this huge black volcano is not as hot as expected.
Temperatures are acceptable as long as you are not near an area where magma is gushing out.
Herad sat cross-legged on the huge hammer surface of the Hammer of Khazgoroth and began to detect traces of obsidian underground.
As soon as the power of the earth entered the mountain, Herad found that he was about to make a profit again!
There are a lot of obsidian in this mountain alone.
Volcanoes are formed by the cooling of magma.
This shows that the magma must contain obsidian.
So just refine the magma.
