NOVEL NEXT Chapter 265: O.o
Shami arrived in the High Mountain Area of the northern Demon Realm.
As one of the common magical creatures of the Demon Tribe, the resurrection of the Rolling Stone Spirit is not too difficult; all that's needed is to find stones with relatively high vitality and imbue them with Magic Power for revival.
The so-called vitality refers to a stone's ability to transform into a spirit after thousands of years of cultivation.
All things are spiritual; on the Aireland Continent, even stones possess slight vitality, but this vitality is too weak for humans to detect.
Shami learned from reading the Demons Atlas that producing gold is just one of the major abilities of the Rolling Stone Spirit Tribe. If a suitable Rolling Stone Spirit is revived, it could even yield precious materials like jade, emerald, and agate.
Shami came to the High Mountain Area precisely to find suitable stones to revive the Rolling Stone Spirit Tribe.
The northern Demon Realm was a vast ocean in ancient times, and after underground volcanic eruptions, magma surged to the surface, and through thousands of years of tectonic movement, the terrain gradually rose, forming mountains and valleys.
Such places are the easiest to find stones with vitality.
Shami slowly climbed the mountain.
The temperature in the High Mountain Area was only a single digit, and above the mountain waist, it had already begun to snow heavily.
Shami wore an overcoat and covered his body with a layer of Magic Power to keep the cold air outside.
Shami's Magic Power perception could sense the composition of every stone around him.
Vitality in concert with the composition of the stone is equally important.
If a stone is filled with various impurities, the gold produced after revival will also contain higher impurities.
If a stone contains special minerals, then after becoming a Rolling Stone Spirit, it can produce not only gold but also corresponding materials.
The king of the Rolling Stone Spirit in the Luwaka era, when in stone form, was a stone containing pure gold, so it could later produce gold in quantities and efficiencies far surpassing other Rolling Stone Spirits.
Breathing out white steam that dispersed into the cold air, Shami arrived at a mountain's mid-waist.
Above the mountain waist, the snow was vast, and the surrounding coniferous forest was covered in snow, looking out from the mountain waist, the flat plain stretched to the horizon.
"Wait, what's this?"
After resting for a while, Shami turned around, ready to continue his quest, and discovered several huge footprints on the flat mountain land around him.
"Could there really be snow creatures in this snowy mountain?"
Shami couldn't help but survey the surroundings and soon found a group of igloos at a bend.
Shami walked over slowly, cautiously stepping into the igloo.
The igloo was empty, but there were quite a few human tools, clearly indicating that unknown people had been here before.
Curious, Shami looked around but found nothing, so he decided to continue his quest to revive the Rolling Stone Spirit.
Searching an area on the mountain surface, Shami followed a cave at the mountain waist deeper into the mountain.
Inside the mountain, the variety of stones increased significantly.
Shami gradually reached the cave's bottom, arriving in a narrow space, extending his right hand to touch the surrounding stones, discerning their internal circumstances.
[Internally contains a small amount of emerald; no vitality]
[Internally contains traces of iron elements; weak vitality]
[Internally contains branches, severed fingers, bones, dust; strong vitality]
"Although it has strong vitality, with so many impurities, resurrecting it as a Rolling Stone Spirit would just produce scary things like severed finger bones!"
Shami continued walking forward.
After a while, he discovered a peculiar stone.
This was a giant rock, about three meters tall, its exterior vaguely resembling an ostrich egg, quietly nestled in a mountain crevice.
[Internally contains abundant pure gold; strong vitality]
"This is it!"
Shami found his target and slowly transmitted his Magic Power over.
[The stone is experiencing the Magic Power of the Demon King]
[Resistance, rejection, cooperation, adaptation, compliance, being filled, addiction~]
"This process is too strange!"
Shami remarked sarcastically. At this point, the Magic Power provided him feedback.
[Magic Power is transforming the stone's meridians and appearance; please make your choice promptly.]
"There's actually a stone-shaping phase? Absolutely can't shape it into the likeness of the Rolling Stone Spirit King from Luwaka, or else the Demon Realm will have a Rock ○○ roaming around everywhere."
Shami gathered his spirit and started his Demon King task.
"First, the shape should have limbs like a human, but also distinct racial traits. Make it broad at the top and narrow at the bottom, give it big fists to be intimidating... Add some stone spikes for defense... Forget the ○○... Rock creatures are genderless..."
Soon, Shami crafted a Rock Beastman.
At the same time, as the first Rolling Stone Spirit revived, he had a total of 10 attribute points to allocate to this Rolling Stone Spirit.
These 10 attribute points will also determine the general genetic traits of the Rolling Stone Spirit Tribe in the future.
[A. Increase the hardness of Rolling Stone Spirit's rock.]
[B. Increase the Rolling Stone Spirit's ability to produce gold and various minerals.]
[C. Increase the intelligence of the Rolling Stone Spirit.]
Shami found himself in a dilemma.
"With only 10 attribute points to allocate, it requires careful consideration. Firstly, as an important unit for producing gold in the Demon Tribe, the ability to produce and nurture gold must be enhanced."
"Secondly, if it can only produce gold without the ability to protect it, the gold will only be stolen. The Rolling Stone Spirit Tribe must have a hardened exterior to guard the treasure within."
