Chapter 589: Vibrational Mining
Lin Wu’s tail struck the Obsidian and only managed to make a small indent in it. Seeing this effect, Lin Wu’s interest was piqued even more.
“Time to try out the Sapphire Qi now…” Lin Wu said before raising his tail again.
This time a blue glow appeared on its tips and get intense. Finally, when the power was at its peak, Lin Wu slammed it down onto the Obsidian.
~DENG~
~Crack~
Eventually, a crack spread in the Obsidian as the pickax finally pierced it. Half of the pickax had sunk into the obsidian.
“Bingo!” Lin Wu exclaimed and started to repeat the process.
About a minute later, several fragments of the Earthen Depths Obsidian had been mined out and Lin Wu was now ready to taste them.
“Here goes nothing…” Lin Wu said as he threw a small finger sized piece into his mouth.
Of course, the size might be too big for a normal person, but for Lin Wu’s cavernous mouth, it was the same as a grain of sand.
His body got to working and digesting the fragment and started to grind it down. The system also began its analysis, and it lasted for about five minutes before it was finally over.
~DING~
——
ANALYSIS COMPLETED: Earthen Depths Obsidian
DATA BANKS: Updated
INFO: The Earthen Depths Obsidian has a high durability to direct and Qi type attacks. Due to the vast mixture of ores and other minerals in it, it acts as a spirit Qi insulator and cannot be used for formations or anything such as that.
The Earthen Depths Obsidian is durable but can be weak under certain conditions. Constant vibrations that reach its resonance frequency can make it brittle and any attack it sustains at that point will shatter it.
As for the host, it is not fully compatible directly but the system can further analyze it and devise some compatible forms.
——
Seeing the information of the system, Lin Wu nodded his head.
“Alright, you can add that to the background tasks and work on figuring out a compatible form. In the meantime we have to investigate the beast. So can you simulate the resonant frequency?” Lin Wu stated.
~DING~
——
INITIATING: Resonance wave
RESONANCE: Detected
ANALYSIS COMPLETED: Resonant frequency found
SIMULATING: Please wait a moment…
——
Lin Wu waited a minute before he felt his tail start to vibrate at a very rapid frequency. Its form also changed, and it felt like it had been detached a bit as several hundred small segments appeared in one of the joints.
They were just a few centimeters long, but all worked together. It was these segments that prevented Lin Wu’s entire body from vibrating together with the Earthen Depths Obsidian.
“Here we go again,” Lin Wu said as he changed the form of his tail into a long needle.
It then pierced into the crack he had made already and started the vibrations.
~buzz~
The needle sprouted more branches from it and turned into a barbed structure that pierced more into the obsidian while also vibrating. The vibrations continued to intensify until finally… the resonant frequency was reached.
~DING~
——
RESONANCE: Achieved!
——
With the system’s alert, Lin Wu directly bashed his head onto the Earthem Depths Obsidian.
~SHATTER~
As if it had turned into normal glass, the wall made out of Earthen Depths Obsidian shattered and scatted into thousands and thousands of pieces.
“Perfecto!” Lin Wu said as he pulled his tail back.
With the Earthen Depths Obsidian broken, Lin Wu was now free to explore further.
Though before heading onwards, he took a pause and looked at the fragments on the ground.
“Might as well eat them if I have them.” Lin Wu gave himself an excuse as he got to eating all of the fragments.
He directly chewed out the rocks along with the Earthen Depths Obsidian.
~Crunch~
“Oo! Now that I think of it… these are like the Hard candy pops from my past life… though they need to be a bit more fruity. Though they are a bit salty somehow…” Lin Wu muttered.
~Ding~
——
ANSWER: The Salty taste is due to the natural sodium and potassium salts that are present in the rocks that the host just ate.
——
“Oh… then I guess we just flavor it with something later on.” Lin Wu said as he continued to eat.
In just five minutes, he had finished eating all of the Earthen Depths Obsidian and along with it, a big chunk of the rocky floor.
Lin Wu took another look at the map and saw that the entire black layer was an enclosed structure. Whatever there was hidden, it was within the center of the entire area. Though its shape was certainly unique to Lin Wu and he wondered how it was formed.
“No, wait… if it was this hard for me to break, then how did the other beast get into it?” Lin Wu couldn’t help but wonder.
He could see the small path that the beast had made and he could see the teeth marks on it.
“It actually bit its way though, damn! Must be some bite strength… though I guess it also took a long time to do the same.” Lin Wu reckoned.
He continued onwards and saw the darkness in the entire area. He realized that the area inside the Earthen Depths Obsidian was not just made out of it, there were other materials inside it as well.
There were normal rocks that were spread everywhere in the mine and some ores as well. But the deeper Lin Wu went, the more he realized the uniqueness of this place.
“There are a lot more ores here,” Lin Wu took note.
The system also did its scan and showed Lin Wu what it discovered in a different window.
“Essence Cooper, Twisted Iron Veins, Fume core Metal, and even some Fire essence crystal!?” Lin Wu read them.
By now Lin Wu was sure that this piece was more than just a jackpot, it was a super jackpot.
“The Earthen Depths obsidian was just the treasure chest, the actual treasure is inside it!” Lin Wu exclaimed.
