Chapter 753: Living off the Land

Along with the many Dao Foundation cultivators, there were naturally five huge Dao Soldiers. Han Li and Jun Weizhi each led two Dao Soldiers to search and advance on both sides, while Dugu Cangqiong was assigned to strengthen the vigilance and defense of the central stronghold and provide fire support when Wei Yuan retreated.

As soon as they entered the world outside the sky, many Dao Foundation cultivators immediately turned pale and shivered involuntarily.

The status of this world fragment was quite high, and Dao Foundation cultivators would even lose their own Dao power under the heavy pressure of heaven and earth. If it weren't for the blessing of the Heavenly Mechanism Transformation Technique, which caused everyone's strength to soar, these Dao Foundation cultivators would have exhausted their Dao power in just the time it took to burn a stick of incense.

But Wei Yuan had his own uses for bringing so many Dao Foundation cultivators in.

As soon as they entered, they began to dig soil and crush stones on the spot, piling the soil and stones into square embryos. Subsequently, the fire-element Dao Foundation cultivators began to forge and burn them with Dao fire, and a batch of soil bricks could be burned in about half a stick of incense. Most of these soil bricks were used to reinforce the central stronghold, and a small portion was used to build a small house by the portal.

Wei Yuan and three Dragon Guards had already launched a surprise attack into the edge of the group of buildings, eliminated dozens of monsters, obtained another wisp of Dao Mysterious Energy, and brought back the sand grains that the monsters had turned into.

In addition to monster materials, Wei Yuan and the others also took many metal objects, all of which were sent back.

At this time, the metal-element and fire-element Dao Foundation cultivators began to cooperate, melting and refining the metal parts by category, refining them into small hand warmers.

These stoves were only the size of an apple, with the most basic Heavenly Mechanism Transformation Technique array built-in. Every cultivator hung one on their waist. What burned in the hand warmers was cyan Qi human luck, and one wisp of cyan Qi could burn for a long time. With the hand warmers on their bodies, the cultivators' Qi luck could be replenished at any time, so they were no longer afraid of the cold in the world outside the sky, and their outdoor activity time was greatly extended.

A hand warmer was hung on each of the four walls inside the small house. Upon entering the room, the cultivators would feel as warm as spring, without the need to wear hand warmers close to their bodies. The cultivators immediately refined seven or eight small tables, each three feet square, and placed them in the room until it was full.

Just as things were ready here, Wei Yuan had returned from the group of buildings with several Dragon Guards. This time he brought back a large number of metal parts, as well as many strange little gadgets. However, due to the long passage of time, these little things were severely damaged.

Various objects were brought back and placed on the tables, and the cultivators behind the tables immediately recorded and analyzed them, mainly organizing and recording the data of all aspects of the objects in detail. When more data was accumulated, it would be sent back to the Human Renjian Yanhuo for analysis.

The laws of this world were incompatible with the Human Renjian Yanhuo, and many things could not be taken into the Human Renjian Yanhuo at all. Wei Yuan tried several times, and the consumption of the portal would rise in a straight line. I am afraid that the portal would be destroyed before many things could be taken in.

Only things with spirituality and no physical form like black birds, and things with a status close to the Dao like Dao Mysterious Energy, could be taken back to the Human Renjian Yanhuo.

So this time Wei Yuan explored, he simply took root in this world and built the research institute directly here to study various objects on the spot. This world was somewhat similar to the world outside the sky mentioned by Xu Wenwu, which made Wei Yuan have great interest, after all, many things had direct research samples.

After coming and going several times, Wei Yuan had already cleared more than a dozen buildings on the edge of the group of buildings, killed dozens of monsters hidden inside, obtained another wisp of Dao Mysterious Energy, totaling three wisps.

At this time, the central stronghold had been initially built. The main position was equipped with a high-power flying sword gun, operated by Dharma Form warriors. All the flying swords in the gun were blessed with cyan Qi, and each shot consumed a wisp of human luck cyan Qi, but the power was also greatly increased. As long as a dozen shots were fired, a monster in the late stage of the Dharma Form could be severely injured, and with the suppression of other weapons, ordinary monsters could no longer rush to the front of the defense line.

Wei Yuan's goal this time was a rather conspicuous building in the center of the group of buildings. It was two stories high, square, with a bare surface, and a huge sign standing on the top floor. The sign had long since fallen off, and it was impossible to see what words were written on it.

Wei Yuan held the flying sword gun and approached slowly. As he walked, the sound of sand and sand continuously came from the surrounding ground. If you looked carefully, you could see countless pixel Dao Soldiers the size of fingers running on the ground like an ant colony, searching every corner.

At this moment, the formation was Wei Yuan in the lead, the Wenwu Dragon Guards on both sides, and Dragon Eagle at the end.

Once Wei Yuan encountered an enemy, he would retreat while shooting. The Dragon Guards on the left and right would suppress the enemy with crossfire after confirming the safety of the two wings, while Dragon Eagle would output on the spot, covering Wei Yuan's retreat to his front.

No matter how powerful the monster was, facing the full output of four Dharma Forms, it couldn't last long. At most, it would charge forward for a hundred feet against the sword rain. After all, each breath was equivalent to being hit dozens of times by a Dao Foundation cultivator, and in the blink of an eye, it would be bombarded thousands of times. This was a bombardment with cyan Qi human luck, and the lethality was exceptionally obvious.

Wei Yuan took a step forward, and his toe suddenly kicked something. The object flew forward as if startled, and made a crisp, loud sound when it landed.

Suddenly, a monster the size of a puppy rushed out from the corner of the trash, turned around, and ran away. Wei Yuan was much faster than it, had long since locked it in the sight, and blasted it into two sections with one shot.

Wei Yuan took two steps forward and picked up the thing he kicked away, seeing it was a flattened metal can. The metal was extremely thin and light, coated with a protective layer, and it hadn't been broken after such a long time of erosion, and still had a few characters and symbols remaining. Wei Yuan treated it like a treasure and carefully put the can away.

Soon Wei Yuan arrived in front of the building. Around the building was an open square with piles of metal frames. They were actually placed very neatly. Some metal frames still had complex mechanical residues.

As soon as Wei Yuan stepped into the square, the heavenly light reappeared, and he saw a little boy holding something in his arms, carefully walking through the ruins, and then walking into this building. In the light circle, this building still had a glass curtain wall remaining, but there were several large holes smashed by humans near the ground, and the little boy carefully drilled in from one of the holes.

After entering the building, the light pillar fell through the broken roof, and you could see that there were collapsed shelves at the little boy's feet, and the things on them were scattered all over the floor.

He soon walked into the depths of the building, and the light pillar disappeared. The goods that were illuminated in the light circle had now turned into a thick layer of black ash.

Only a few metal skeletons remained on the shelves, and the material of the storage boards was unknown, but anyway, they did not survive the erosion of time.

Wei Yuan came to the edge of the wall, instinctively feeling that once he stepped in, it would be a big battle. At this time, he was no longer helpless as he was when he first entered. He was not in a hurry, but bent down and picked up a few transparent fragments.

These were the fragments left after the glass curtain wall was broken, and quite a few actually survived until now.

Wei Yuan picked up dozens of fragments, preparing to take them back to analyze the composition. Glass was very simple, but glass that could survive until the collapse of the doomsday world was not simple at all. Afterward, Wei Yuan retreated and chose two metal mechanical wrecks that looked the most complete in the square. He and Dragon Eagle each took one and sent them back to the portal.

After Wei Yuan disappeared, a figure appeared in the building, quietly watching the direction Wei Yuan left. More and more black shadows appeared around it, all standing quietly in the empty hall.
