Chapter 96

In the midst of the crystal mines and crystal veins,

Lin Feng had once been involved in them in the Super Brain data.

However, the true understanding of both came during his time with the Ice Lion Adventure Team. Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. For Lin Feng, the greatest gain from this trip to the Qinling Mountains was not money, but the broadening of his horizons and the acquisition of various knowledge, which made his path to the future much clearer.

Captain Shi Shi and Deputy Captain Ice Rose were both excellent teachers.

After the Great Extinction, the spiritual energy flourished, and various mineral veins were comprehensively nourished and enhanced. Metal ores condensed spiritual energy, and the elements within would form elemental crystals. The purer and more refined they were, the higher the quality. When condensed to the extreme, they became elemental cores.

Those that can form elemental crystals are called crystal mines.

Those that can form elemental cores are called crystal veins, which generally contain several to dozens of crystal mines.

This is also the reason why Lin Feng wants to explore deeper.

Discovering an elemental crystal mine already brings in a substantial income, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

But what if an elemental crystal vein is discovered?

Moreover, a Grade 2 cadmium crystal vein!

It would definitely be worth a fortune.

Because he had previously killed an Elite Mad Electric Porcupine King and obtained a Grade 2 cadmium core, Lin Feng was very certain. It might just be a coincidence as the flea suggested, but if it wasn't a coincidence... then it must be a Grade 2 cadmium crystal vein with a 'cadmium core.'

At the very least, it would start at several hundred thousand gold coins!

The night in the Qinling Mountains was quiet.

Every day, twelve hours. Lin Feng was responsible for the middle three hours.

His body had just absorbed the high-grade gene fluid and was in a saturated state. Lin Feng held the Gray Wolf War Blade and was practicing his sword techniques, making the most of his time. Nightly contemplation and daytime practical exercises made Lin Feng's 'sword' improve daily, even though the fourth realm of sword techniques was still far away.

At least, his understanding of the sword techniques was growing.

The Seventh Spin Slash, the fifth move!

"Electric Eel Strike!" The sword in the air seemed to tremble, and a faint wave-like ripple appeared in its afterimage.

"No."

"It's not this feeling."

"Like an electric eel strike, electricity, electric shock..."

Lin Feng closed his eyes and gestured.

For the past two days, he had been battling electric-type elementals fused with cadmium crystals, which greatly improved the fifth move, 'Electric Eel Strike.' He had mastered the sword intent by the end of yesterday, and today he found a subtle direction, a path to perfect sword intent.

He was getting closer.

It seemed he had found that shining point, but still lacked a bit of intent.

The key intent!

"Hmm..." Lin Feng pondered.

"Snore, snore" On the other side, Photon was sleeping soundly, carefree.

"This guy." Lin Feng smiled.

Photon seemed quite at ease with him.

Suddenly, Lin Feng's ears twitched, and he quickly turned his head to look nearby, his eyes widening.

A very slight sound, but he didn't hear it wrong!

"There's an elemental beast, Photon!" Lin Feng shouted. Photon was immediately startled awake, and Lin Feng's figure moved swiftly. He pressed the alarm button of the capsule alloy house and chased out. Photon's reaction was also quick; he instantly set up the dual-barreled magnetic gun, loaded the electromagnetic cannon, and his eyes shone brightly.

So fast!

In the blink of an eye, it was gone.

"Judging by its size, it should be similar to a deer, antelope, or musk deer." Lin Feng looked around. Although his dynamic vision was excellent, he only caught a glimpse of a shadow just now. In fact, if it weren't for the sound of the leaves, he might not have noticed.

"It's probably not an attack."

"Just a lone elemental beast."

Lin Feng thought to himself.

In the wilderness, especially at night, this is quite common.

Just as he was about to leave, Lin Feng's nose twitched, and he sniffed, a hint of uncertainty flashing in his eyes. "This smell is... musk?" He pondered, sniffing the air and following the scent. Sure enough, the scent became more distinct, though it was only faintly lingering in the air, it could be clearly distinguished.

"The fragrance is strong and long-lasting."

"It's definitely musk."

Lin Feng confirmed.

In the Qinling Mountains, there are many antelope and musk deer elemental beasts.

Among them, there are mainly two types of musk deer: the small musk deer and the forest musk deer.

"It's a male forest musk deer." Lin Feng nodded. Only male forest musk deer have musk glands that can secrete musk. The information about the forest musk deer immediately came to mind, and he thought deeply. The forest musk deer is a very timid elemental beast, solitary in nature. It's not unusual for a forest musk deer to pass by at night, but at this moment...

"Only when excited does a male forest musk deer release musk unconsciously."

"Why is this male forest musk deer so excited at a time when it should be resting, and why is it dashing through the forest alone, without fear of danger?"

Lin Feng's eyes sparkled. "Follow it and see!"

His intuition told him there must be a reason.

Ding, ding, ding

The crystal watch beeped, and Lin Feng glanced at it, activating the location sharing.

Before entering the wilderness, the Ice Lion Adventure Team had already shared their positions with each other for easy communication and safety.

"Two possibilities." Following the scent, Lin Feng maintained a steady pace.

While being alert to his surroundings, his mind was working rapidly.

"The first possibility is that this male forest musk deer is an elite elemental beast."

Elite elemental beasts are solitary, so it's normal for it to be alone.

"The second possibility is that it encountered something that made it abnormally excited, such as discovering something or being in heat?"

Lin Feng smiled.

Suddenly, his smile froze.

"No, not in heat."

"Could it be... a female forest musk deer giving birth?"

"The mating season for forest musk deer is in autumn, and the gestation period is about six months. By the time calculation..."

Whoosh! Lin Feng's speed increased again.

His body moved like lightning, and his eyes sparkled with excitement and desire.

If his guess is correct...

This time, there will be a big surprise!

※※※

In the darkness of the night.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several figures were cautiously advancing.

The night is not like the day; night travel is a very dangerous thing, especially with low visibility. Many elemental beasts are adept at ambushing and hunting in the dark. However, the Ice Lion Adventure Team was still taking the risk, moving through the shrubbery.

"Captain, don't worry about Lin Feng, he'll come back on his own." The flea was at the front, looking tense.

"What are you talking about? We are a team." Shi Shi's face was serious, his deep voice carrying a hint of reprimand.

"His individualism will get us killed!" The flea said anxiously.

"If you want to go back, go back on your own." Photon sneered, "We don't have cowards in our Ice Lion Adventure Team."

"What did you say!" The flea said angrily.

"Enough."

Ice Rose scolded, "Stop talking so much. Lin Feng is not a rash and impulsive person. He must have his reasons. What we need to do is one thing."

"Trust him."
