Chapter 183, First Shelter Backup Point in the Forest
"Glowing Stone...an extremely rare mineral resource!"
The Radiant Stone is not only a mineral but also a metal, as it contains a metal called Radiant Blue Gold. This metal can be used as a highly efficient energy source, refined to make special equipment, and is even an excellent core material for setting up certain formations.
Mo Ming was overjoyed. This was one of the most precious resources he had ever seen since entering this world. Glowing Stone was a dream mineral that many could only dream of, let alone one that contained such a huge and abundant vein.
If developed properly, this will provide long-term, stable resource support for his backup shelter.
He made a simple estimate: this exposed sapphire deposit alone would be enough to power a medium-sized shelter for more than a year. And the deeper veins might hold even more unknown treasures!
"So the Rifttail Tiger is guarding such an important resource. No wonder it's so fiercely guarding that cave. It seems the secret here is absolutely coveted," Mo Ming said in a low voice.
Despite his excitement, Mo Ming remained vigilant. He knew that this type of mineral vein and underground area might harbor more than just the powerful Rifttail Tiger.
He continued exploring along the vein, discovering that the entire underground world was far larger than he had initially imagined. Besides the veins of brilliance on the rock walls, the underground river shimmering with blue light also caught his eye.
He squatted by the river and tried to scoop up a handful of water, discovering that the water contained some luminous particles. These particles did not seem to be ordinary impurities, but rather some kind of crystallized energy with life force.
Judging from their subtle luster and unique texture, these waters may even possess other beneficial properties.
"This underground river is no ordinary place; it might be energy that seeped out during the formation of the Gloystone vein. The Rifttail Tiger used to roam this area, and it may have been influenced by the power of the water, which is why it grew into such a powerful beast."
After exploring the area, Mo Ming stood in the center of the underground space, gazing at the crystal dome above his head that resembled a starry sky, and many thoughts surfaced in his mind.
He understood that if this area was used properly, it could not only serve as a highly secluded sanctuary, but also as a base for resource gathering and production.
The osmite veins here are more than enough to support a long-term base, while the underground river can provide a clean water source for future needs. Furthermore, the entire space's seclusion virtually isolates it from all external threats.
“This is a natural underground world. If properly modified, it can accommodate hundreds of people, or even build a small underground city,” Mo Ming murmured, already starting to conceive of how to organize the layout of this place.
Moreover, as he walked down the underground river, Mo Ming discovered that the entire underground world had many ventilation openings, so there was no need to worry about oxygen.
Beneath the lair of the split-tailed tiger lay such a treasure trove. This was a completely unexpected surprise for Mo Ming. Although he hadn't discovered any further biological threats during his initial exploration, he knew that more preparation and planning would be needed to fully develop this area in the future.
After a moment of contemplation, he looked at the Radiant Stone vein and said softly, "Let's call this place Radiant Abyss. From today onward, it will become another safe haven for me in this world, and can also serve as part of my future sanctuary."
Mengling cried out, seemingly in approval of the new name. Mo Ming smiled slightly, patted its head, and then began to tidy up the environment, ushering in a new chapter in the development of this wonderland.
After a whole day, the cave was finally cleaned up. He carefully set up a backup shelter point and designated it as a teleportation node.
"It's finally finished. From now on, your codename will be: Shelter Forest!"
Mo Ming let out a long sigh of relief, while Meng Ling gently patted her claws beside him. Their first backup location was established in the Misty Primeval Forest, and the battle and gains they had made filled Mo Ming with confidence in setting up the next backup location.
To prevent other wild beasts from entering, Mo Ming specially returned to the Shelter Sky Island from the backup teleportation array and brought everyone over. Xiong Da used the power of heavy rocks to completely seal the cave entrance.
Then, the entire underground world was illuminated with luminous jade.
Duoduo and Manmeng stood in the dark underground cave, their eyes wide with awe at the mysterious underground world before them.
A cool breeze and a hint of metallic scent filled the air, and tiny phosphorescent stones were scattered on the ground, each one like a star in the night sky at your feet.
The entire cave was bathed in a bluish light, seemingly emanating from the overhead stone walls and deep cracks in the distance, making the entire space appear to be shrouded in a dreamlike glow.
"Where exactly is this...?" Man Meng's eyes widened in disbelief as he scanned his surroundings.
Having never seen anything like it before, this dreamlike underground world was almost indescribable to him. "Why is it glowing here? And what about those blue bright spots..."
Duoduo held her breath completely at this moment. Although she was always calm and intelligent, she was stunned for a long time by what was happening in front of her.
A tranquility that didn't belong to the surface world enveloped her thoughts. After a long while, she finally spoke with difficulty: "These blue lights... I've seen related records... They might be some kind of energy source, very rare. And these shimmering stones... They seem to be the Ghostly Glow mineral vein."
"The Radiant Vein?" Man Meng looked bewildered, but his gaze immediately fell on the faintly glowing ores on the stone wall.
The ores were illuminated by special energy, and some even extended like flowing water, forming crystal-clear veins.
Duoduo took two steps forward, ran her hand over a small crack, and frowned slightly as she said, "That's right, it's the Youhui Mine. It's a type of metallic ore that only exists underground and contains enormous energy."
The light it emits comes from its special internal structure, which absorbs natural energy and then slowly releases it…
"Is it that powerful?" Man Meng clearly knew very little about these things. "But what is this Blue River? It sounds like a river, but... why does it look like liquid light?"
Duoduo pondered for a moment, carefully observing the deep blue, streamlined "river" that stretched through the depths of the cave in the distance. She frowned: "This isn't ordinary water. It's probably a special liquid seeping from the Youhui mineral vein that has merged into the stream, turning it into the Blue River."
This liquid contains concentrated energy and is the most important part of the luminous vein. It will be lost or dry up as the vein is mined; over-mining will affect the underground ecosystem and may even cause serious problems such as collapses.
