"I really came to the right place this time!"
With the guidance of the six Bronze-tier Kobolds, Yu Yuan easily found the location of the Black Domain Shelter.
The Black Domain Shelter was located inside a mine tunnel. The defensive traps left by Black Domain didn't serve any purpose, and the security gate was opened effortlessly.
Survival supplies were scarce, perhaps related to the high-temperature environment here.
Instead, large quantities of minerals were stored, all kinds of ores—pyrite, sulfur, alum, magnetite... all these common ores were present.
But there were also some ores unique to this world.
For example, the Molten Ore that Yu Yuan urgently needed now, as well as Crimson Titanium Ore, these all belonged to the unique mineral resources of this world.
All were Bronze-tier ores.
The effect of Molten Ore was indeed as Black Domain had said; this type of ore would continuously emit thermal radiation to its surroundings.
Although the temperature released was much lower compared to actual flames.
But there was a lot of ore.
As long as there was enough Molten Ore, surrounding the Recruit Training Camp with it would definitely solve the threat posed by the super-low temperatures of the glacial period.
Black Domain even had two Rare-tier ores the size of watermelons—Earth's Core Flame Crystals.
According to the Molten Kobolds' explanation, the 【Earth's Core Flame Crystal】 was a high-grade ore that only appeared at the core of Molten Ore veins.
But the probability of it appearing was extremely low; they had only obtained these two pieces after digging for so long.
Finally, Yu Yuan looked at the neatly stacked boxes of Steam Kinetic Rifles in the warehouse.
"Yan Yi, what's the situation with these rifles!"
"Woof—, Master, behind this mountain ridge, there is another Kobold tribe. The former leader originally planned to attack and incorporate them; these weapons were the equipment prepared in advance for them."
"There are actually other Kobolds? Also Molten Kobolds?"
Yu Yuan was somewhat pleasantly surprised.
Yan Yi nodded.
"Yes, they are also Molten Kobolds. Besides them, the biggest enemies here are the Molten Lizard groups; they are also our food source."
Saying this, Yan Yi couldn't help but lick his lips.
Hearing there was another tribe, Yu Yuan had an idea.
This Molten Kobold world was clearly not suitable for the Pioneering Group to conquer. Originally, he was thinking that if all else failed, he would activate the 【Civilization Fusion】 focus to gain additional bonuses.
But if there was another Molten Kobold tribe, wouldn't they be ready-made native labor?
Who could be more suited to survive in this world than these native creatures?
He moved all the supplies from the Black Domain Shelter into the Motel Main Guest Room, then, led by Yan Yi, headed towards that Molten Kobold tribe.
Just as they approached the tribe, Yu Yuan could already sense hundreds of 【Molten Believer】 auras. Most of these auras had mixed and impure faith, almost similar to the Ascetics.
But there were also four auras similar to those of Bronze-tier Kobolds.
This meant the tribe had over a hundred ordinary Molten Kobolds and four Bronze Rank Molten Kobolds.
The outcome was as Yu Yuan expected. When he appeared before these Kobolds.
Under the purified 【Molten Believer】 faith aura emanating from him.
These Molten Kobolds also all submitted.
What surprised Yu Yuan even more was that beneath this tribe, there was actually a Molten Ore vein, and its reserves were quite substantial.
Yu Yuan knew that the super-low temperature threat of the glacial period, the third stage of the impending Endless Cold Wave.
Green Forest City was secure!
Yu Yuan had the chief of this Kobold tribe take charge of the work of excavating Molten Ore.
This was a Molten Kobold standing about 1.75 meters tall.
Although not as tall and large as Black Domain, among Bronze-tier Kobolds, he was considered quite powerful.
He didn't have a name. Yu Yuan thought for a moment and named him 'Black Flame'.
"Black Flame, I need you to lead all your tribesmen in fully excavating Molten Ore!"
"Understood, Master!"
Black Flame's expression was respectful. In his view, this inexplicably appearing master carried a rich aura of Molten Demon favor; he must be a descendant of some great Molten Demon.
He must strive to complete the tasks assigned by this master, hoping only for a chance at promotion in the future.
And this wasn't just Black Flame's thought; it was also the thought of the other Bronze-tier Molten Kobolds.
Only after truly awakening the Molten bloodline inheritance would a Molten Kobold advance to Bronze-tier.
And only Molten Kobolds who had advanced to Bronze-tier understood how difficult it was to continue advancing further.
Because Kobolds themselves were a race with a low ceiling. Without any accidents, Bronze-tier was the peak of their development.
Now that they had finally come into contact with a descendant of such a high-ranking Molten Demon, they naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Molten Kobolds inherently existed as vassals to higher-ranking demons.
Attaching themselves to the strong was an imprint deep within their bloodline.
With the subjugation of this Molten Kobold tribe, Yu Yuan once again felt a hint of inconvenience.
He looked at the Positioning Watch. The spirituality progress was still only around 31%.
After all, most of the Bronze-tier creatures he had encountered these past few times had been captured by him and handed over to the Aurora Animal Assistance Association for research.
"It's also time to clear some out!"
Thinking this, Yu Yuan decisively ended the world teleportation and returned to the Aurora Animal Assistance Association in Green Forest City.
"Clear out mutated creatures?" Hearing Yu Yuan's request, Jiu Feng, who was conducting 【Promiz Virus Research】, was first stunned, then immediately said:
"Master, currently we have twenty-four mutated creatures in our possession. They all mutated from ordinary animals and can no longer keep up with our development. If they can be of use to you, Master, that would be excellent."
Hearing there were actually twenty-four mutated creatures, Yu Yuan immediately went to see them.
Entering the mutated creature Containment Area, he saw each mutated creature in a state of deep sleep.
"Since the Extreme Cold disaster descended, to reduce these mutated creatures' consumption of supplies, we put them into a dormant state, feeding them once every ten days."
"We originally planned to let them serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield to expend their remaining usefulness once the 【Werewolf Genetic Modification Serum】 was completely perfected, or the 【Promiz Virus Enhancement Potion】 was fully developed! Now, if they can help you, Master, that's even better."
While Jiu Feng was explaining the situation, Yu Yuan had already taken out the Epic Heavy Hammer and began executing these mutated creatures.
As the mutated creatures died one after another.
Streams of pure Spiritual Energy were absorbed by the Positioning Watch.
The spirituality collection progress also began to jump rapidly.
+7.1%
+8.9%
+5.1%
+10.2%
...
When all twenty-four mutated creatures were killed, Yu Yuan obtained two more 【Spirit Crystals】, and the spirituality collection progress on the Positioning Watch reached 7%.
The corpses of these mutated creatures wouldn't go to waste either; they would all serve as nourishment for Hogg to increase his strength.
Yu Yuan wore a satisfied expression.
Returning to the shelter, he consumed one 【Spirit Crystal】 and began manufacturing the 【Commander Subordinate Chip】...
