Chapter 171 Alert Eye Stone
In the following period, Li Lin probably determined the remaining amount of radioactive minerals in the pit.
Although the number is not as large as Rambo described, at least it is enough at this stage and even in the next few decades.
The question now is how to transport these minerals, which radiate energy, back to the Piltover laboratory.
Li Lin thought for a long time and temporarily gave up the idea of mining and taking some of it back.
For one thing, he now has no container to block the radioactive energy.
Even though there are purple or even orange Hex chests in the system store that are more advanced than the blue Hex chests, they are not radiation-proof.
Secondly, the Singing Valley is located in the southern part of the Shurima continent, and it will take several months just to get back to Nasramei.
Moreover, he was planning to hunt down Axel and look for Malzahar on the way back. An accident would inevitably happen.
Finally, Li Lin made a decision:
Anyway, there is still room for optimization and improvement in the miniature nuclear fusion reactor drawings at this stage, and these minerals are not needed for the time being.
Therefore, he planned to wait until he returned to Piltover and send a fully armed expedition team to hire miners to mine minerals.
And it just happens to solve the problem of radiation. After all, radiation protection equipment has been available at Piltover University for a long time, so it is not uncommon.
At that time, all we need to do is let Mrs. Karina make arrangements and rush to produce a batch for the expedition team and the miners.
Li Lin made up his mind, and then his thoughts returned to the [Essence Store] on the system panel.
Just having a plan is not enough, you also have to avoid accidents. After all, this place used to be a place of void corruption.
According to Nasus, it will take several years for the void power to completely dissipate.
He selected an arcane magic item in the store that belonged to Ixtal.
[Alert Eye Stone (Artifact): A magical item used by Ixtal's mysterious city, Ixoken, to monitor the outside world. 】
[Attributes: 1000 health, 1000 mana]
[Ability Effect]
[Ixtar's Vision: After placing the eye stone, it will monitor an area of 100 meters in radius, consuming 25 mana points per second. 】
[Soul binding: The eye stone will be bound to the placer. The placer can share the vision with the eye stone. Sharing consumes 120 mana points of the eye stone and the placer per second (no distance limit). 】
[Invisibility: After the eye stone is placed, it will enter an "invisible" state. It cannot be perceived by the naked eye or ordinary magic, cannot be destroyed by physical means, and consumes 25 mana points per second. 】
[True vision: The eye stone can detect targets in "stealth" and "invisible" states. 】
[Arcane Charging: The Eye Stone can absorb the surrounding magic to recharge itself, recovering 15% of the maximum mana per second. 】
[Arcane Cellar: A maximum of 3 eye stones can be placed. 】
This magic item sells for 500 Blue Essence, and of the same type are the rare-quality [Alert Eye Stone] and the fine-quality [Emerging Eye Stone].
The other two eye stones are priced at 250 blue essence and 100 blue essence respectively, which are much cheaper than the alert eye stone.
However, the Alert Eye Stone has a distance limit for vision sharing, and there is no real vision.
As for the sprouting eye stone, it can't even be "invisible" and can be directly destroyed by physical means.
Li Lin gritted his teeth and spent 1,500 blue essences to buy three [Alert Eye Stones].
He placed two eye stones in this empty space that could be mined, and the remaining eye stone was placed on the road leading to this pit to monitor whether the void energy would produce abnormalities. .
After doing everything, Li Lin returned to the cliff where he came from, activated the [Flash] function of the power armor, and returned directly to the top.
In the cave above, Sivir was bored and ready to take a look into the pit.
There was a flash of blue-white light, and Li Lin suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Wow! You scared me!"
Sivir almost subconsciously threw away the Chalikar in his hand.
"You obviously have such exaggerated abilities. Why didn't you just flash like this when you went down there?"
"I'm not familiar with the environment in the pit, and there's still the residual power of the void down there. If it were you, would you continue to be so reckless?"
"..."
Li Lin rolled his eyes angrily at Sivir, who was unable to refute.
Unfortunately, she couldn't see it at all because of the mask.
After putting away the rope, Li Lin suddenly discovered that Nasus had run over to Kassadin and Kai'Sa, talking to them about something.
"Has Kai'sa's skin armor evolved?"
"You'll be fine soon after you go down."
Sivir followed Li Lin to their side.
"Didn't you hear that this little girl screamed in pain just now? It was really heart-wrenching... If it weren't for Nasus' help, I don't think she would have been able to survive."
"Ah?" Li Lin was startled when Sivir said this, "What's going on?"
"The energy from that big mantis corpse was too much. Kaisha's body couldn't bear it and almost collapsed... At least that's what Nasus said just now."
"..."
Li Lin thought about it carefully and felt relieved.
According to the original world line, Kai'Sa has been in this dark underground, accompanying the void for ten years.
She most likely returned to the ground after completely clearing the void here.
In other words, it took at least the last year or two for Kai'Sa to defeat and devour the giant mantis monster now killed by Nasus.
At that point in time, her strength and physical strength were by no means comparable to those she had only survived in the Void Land for three years.
Why didn't I think of this?
Fortunately, Nasus is here today...
Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
Kasha noticed the two people approaching, and her small, round face filled with tenacity and heroism was filled with a joyful smile.
"Li Lin!" She waved to Li Lin and trotted in front of them with excitement on her face, "I learned a new ability!"
Li Lin squatted down, his eyes level with Kasha, "Oh? Can you let me have a look?"
"Of course!"
She looked back at Kassadin and Nasus, then re-extended and closed the Void Carapace Helmet.
Before Li Lin could react, a fleeting sound of breaking through the air echoed.
Kasha's figure flashed and suddenly disappeared in front of him.
"——Hiss!" Li Lin took a breath of air and turned around following the afterimage he had just glimpsed from the corner of his eye.
At some point, Kasha, who had a lavender barrier on her body, had already ducked behind her.
After more than ten seconds, this void barrier gradually faded and dissipated in the air.
Is this "hunter instinct"?
This speed is even faster than the "overcharge" of my power armor!
"It's really amazing..." Li Lin admired sincerely.
"I named it 'Hunter Instinct.'"
Kasha panted slightly, unfolded her helmet again, and the corners of her slightly purple-black lips were slightly raised, obviously the compliment was very useful to Li Lin.
But her face soon turned into disappointment, "However, with the energy in my body now, I can only use this ability 8 times in a row..."
8 times in a row is pretty good, right?
You know, the cooldown time of your ultimate move in the game is very long...
Li Lin didn't know what to say, so he could only encourage: "You have to think about it, you are only 13 years old now. When you grow up, you will definitely be stronger than you are now."
"Uh-huh!"
Kasha's little face was filled with smile again, showing the appearance of a girl at her age.
During the three years in the Void Land, she had become numb and almost never smiled.
Today, she unexpectedly reunited with her father and made a friend like Li Lin who would not dislike her. The knot in Kasha's heart was relieved a lot.
"Are you done?"
Kassadin and Nasus walked over side by side and asked in a muffled voice.
"Well, the void has not swallowed up all the radioactive minerals. There is still a lot down there, which is enough for use.
"I think we'll send an expedition to dig for this ore when we get back to Piltover... We'll pay for it, of course."
As he spoke, Li Lin quietly observed Nasus's expression.
"This kind of ore has no meaning to the Shurima Empire, and you have witnessed the return of Eagle King Azir and provided help in this battle. I think he should be happy to give you an unconditional mining license. "
Netherston paused for a moment, "When I return to the City of the Sun, I will report this matter to Azir and try my best to help you win this matter into an additional reward."
"Thank you so much, Grand Maester!"
Li Lin followed Shurima etiquette, crossed his hands on his chest, and bowed deeply to Nasus.
"Easy to do."
Then, Li Lin looked around at Kassadin, Kasha and Sivir, and turned his eyes to the dark tunnel that led to the ground.
"Now, it's time to return to the surface."
