Grand Arcanist of Azeroth

Chapter 361 Mining Un'Goro Crater

As more and more earth element creatures completed the excavation tasks, the obsidian on the ground also piled up into hills.

Of course, this hill is the hill in the adjective.

It's not the kind of hill hundreds of meters high.

If there is such a big hill made of obsidian, Herald will definitely call it a day and go back to upgrade the obsidian battleship.

Even so, Herald was very satisfied with the amount of obsidian obtained in the Silithus Desert.

Obsidian piled up like a mountain can be piled up into an [-]-story residential building.

Although the obsidian in front of me is a rough stone with a very low purity.

It also needs to be refined to become real obsidian.

But no matter how low the purity of the original stone is, the obsidian content is still in the early [-]s.

Extracting it is not a small sum.

It is estimated that tens of thousands of tons must be indispensable.

Looking at the obsidian piled up into a hill, Herald used the powerful power of Kazgros' Hammer to cast a huge flame storm.

The elemental flames emerging from the ground completely enveloped the area where the obsidian hill was located.

In the flame storm that Herald cast, the flames rose more than 50 meters high, covering a huge area of ​​[-] to [-] square meters.

And it's different from the regular flame storm that dissipates in two or three seconds.

It has been burning for more than ten seconds, but there is still no sign of dissipating.

This scene, like a city being burned by fire, lasted for several minutes before it ended.

To be precise, it was Herald who discovered that the obsidian had melted.

Then he stopped the action of channeling the energy of the fire element.

Without the energy supplement of the fire element, this super flame storm is over.

The molten obsidian magma, under the powerful effect of earth magic, separated the impurities contained in it.

The refining of obsidian is very difficult.

Without a powerful elemental spellcaster, it is impossible to complete the refining step.

Looking at the entire Azeroth, there are not many races that can be 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.

The finished product of obsidian equipment can only be obtained by selling rough stones to high elves.

A night elf who has abandoned his martial arts cannot be easily awakened.

The night elf sentry troop patrolling along the main road saw scattered stone men wandering along the way, and they were very puzzled.

Golems 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 Man didn't attack them, and the smashed earth borers could be seen 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.

Just as the sentries were patrolling cautiously, a faint fire appeared on the horizon in the distance.

It is obviously abnormal that the fire can be seen from such a distance.

The sentinels urged the nightsaber mount to speed up to check what happened there.

Night sabers move very fast.

It only took them half an hour to send the sentry to the destination.

But Herald was efficient.

The sentinels who came at full speed only saw a large pool of hot magma.

Looking at the large magma pool in front of him, the captain of the sentinel scratched his ears in doubt.

"How come there is such a large magma pool in the desert?"

The other Sentinels each express their opinion.

"Could it be a volcanic eruption?"

"It's definitely not a volcanic eruption! I don't see any bumps on the ground."

"Well, no matter how small a volcanic eruption is, the ground should bulge a little."

Everyone discussed for a while, and finally believed that it was caused by a certain fire spell.

But on the endless barren desert, there was no sign of any spellcaster.

When the sentries searched around the magma pool desperately, trying to find the information left by the instigator, Herald was already working in the Un'Goro Crater on the east side of the Silithus Desert.

Un'Goro Crater is a vertically depressed basin in the southern part of Kalimdor.

To its west is the harsh, almost abandoned Silithus Desert.

The Tanaris Desert in the east, where the natural environment is relatively good, still has a lot of permanent population.

As for the Un'Goro Crater, the population will not be larger than that of the 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 vegetation here is lush and tree-lined, comparable to the Ashenvale where the night elves live.

Due to the low terrain, Un'Goro Crater has abundant water resources.

And here is the southern part of the mainland, 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.

Given a choice between a tropical rainforest 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 terrible mosquitoes and ferocious beasts in the tropical rainforest.

In addition to all the dangers of the tropical rainforest, Un'Goro Crater also has many dinosaurs that are not very common in the outside world.

Cold-blooded creatures like dinosaurs are very powerful in combat!

The dinosaurs that can be seen in the outside world are all small dinosaurs such as Velociraptor.

Here, you can see Tyrannosaurus, which is a circle larger than Velociraptor, everywhere.

Occasionally, a very large Devilsaur can be seen.

The kind of giant dinosaur that can swallow a person in one bite.

The sky is not safe, and pterodactyls will fly over from time to time.

Pterodactyls were not very large in size.

But it's no problem to jump down and knock people down, or catch and fly for a short distance!
For ordinary people, pterodactyls are not a small threat.

Under the service of the three-piece set of dinosaurs, most people cannot survive here.

Even the mighty night elves are unwilling to pass by here from the ground.

In the dangerous Un'Goro crater, only a small number of explorers will station for a short time.

The foothold chosen by Herald was the Fire Feather Mountain located in the central area of ​​Un'Goro Crater.

Huoyushan is a relatively active dormant volcano.

On its huge mountain, there are many places where magma is still gushing out.

So no dinosaurs or other creatures will come to Fire Feather Mountain to die.

After all, no one wants to be made into a teppanyaki.

Choosing to stay here means not being disturbed by those annoying guys in the rainforest.

Of course, not causing too many killings is the most important thing!
Once the dinosaurs rushed up recklessly, Herald would definitely kill them.

It is difficult for the dinosaur's not very bright mind to make a move to retreat in spite of the difficulties.

So the killing will attract more dinosaurs to fill the opened bloody slaughterhouse.

In order not to create a meaningless bloody tragedy, Herald could only choose the harsh place of Huoyu Mountain.

But this huge black volcano is not as hot as imagined.

As long as it is not close to the place where the magma is gushing, the temperature is acceptable.

Herald sat cross-legged on the huge hammer face of Khazgoros Hammer, and began to detect traces of obsidian underground.

As soon as the power of the earth entered the mountain, Herald realized that he was going to make money again!

There are a lot of obsidian in this mountain alone.

Volcanoes are formed when magma erupts and cools.

This shows that the magma must contain obsidian components.

So just extract the magma.
