Chapter 84 Unexpected Situation

"It actually went from overheating to self-destruction, how interesting. Or could this be considered a special kind of evolution, not a failure?"

After regaining his senses, Rod looked out the window, unsure of what to do.

Such self-destructive evolution is unlikely to occur in nature.

Even if a few individuals do have a mental breakdown, they cannot pass on the legacy to future generations.

In his experimental notes, Rhodes named this self-exploding fungus *Bacillus blastinae*.

And mark the key points in red.

His attention is drawn to the evolution that rivals that of explosives.

This world does have explosives, but they are made from a special mineral called Crimson Sun Crystal.

It can be activated by heat, and is rare and expensive.

High-purity Crimson Sun Crystal is a strategic resource and is often used to make powerful cannons for warfare.

The lower purity ones were carved into handicrafts by artists and displayed by nobles in the banquet halls of castles.

As for the old formula of one part saltpeter, two parts sulfur, and three parts charcoal, this black powder formula is not applicable in this world.

It's not that it can't burn, but the energy released isn't rapid enough to produce the explosive power it should.

Long ago, Rod tried to change the ingredients.

However, they were unable to increase the explosive power, and in the end, the matter was left unresolved.

In retrospect, perhaps he found one of the alternatives to gunpowder.

"I'm not sure, we need to study it carefully first." Rhodes shook his head, not immediately happy.

To replace gunpowder with the blastocystis fungus, he first needed to find a safe way to cultivate the fungus.

And it keeps it stable under normal conditions.

Currently, he does not possess these two conditions and needs to explore them gradually.

After finishing his research for the day, Rod ate dinner and sat on his bed in the room.

Close your eyes, and a familiar sense of spiritual elevation washes over you.

Today is Monday, and Rhodes once again steps into the Northern Echoes.

It's still that familiar village.

He went out and went to the blacksmith's shop.

During his time in the Northern Remnant, Rhodes spent most of his time helping the dwarven blacksmiths forge armor.

This process allowed his proficiency in stainless steel craftsmanship to increase rapidly.

The forging of the armor is also nearing completion.

"Ha, my work is done! I can finally get a good night's sleep."

In the blacksmith's shop, the dwarf blacksmith looked at the finished product and laughed heartily in relief.

He then dropped the hammer and lay down on his recliner to doze off.

Rhodes picked up the "Ice Guardian" set and examined it curiously.

Although the dwarven blacksmith had stopped working, the armor was not yet finished.

In addition to the outer stainless steel layer, it also needs to be paired with a soft inner lining to keep it warm and withstand impacts.

Following the dwarven blacksmith's instructions, Rhodes picked up the armor and took it to the sheepfold next to the blacksmith's shop.

The village's textile granny lived there, and she was responsible for the work of lining the armor.

As he approached the sheepfold, a continuous bleating sound came from within.

In the sheepfold, Rhodes saw a special kind of sheep with pure white wool.

That's the Great Snow Sheep, a first-tier magical beast evolved from a cashmere sheep.

The shape of the cashmere sheep is like a marshmallow, and it looks fluffy and round.

But the evolved Great Snow Sheep is different; it is agile and has strong limbs, enabling it to skillfully climb back and forth on steep cliffs.

Most importantly, the wool of the Great Snow Sheep is very fine and has excellent warmth retention.

The female warriors in the village wore woolen coats made of snow sheep.

It looks like a thin, white bodysuit that perfectly shows off the curves of their chest and thighs, exuding both elegance and wild charm.

"Come over here, come over here." As Rod walked over, the weaver's daughter waved enthusiastically.

After jogging up to him, I led the way and brought him to his workplace.

There, the old woman who was weaving was processing cashmere. When she saw Rhodes arrive, she nodded and took the armor.

"I've already prepared the lining. It just needs to be adjusted slightly according to the size of the armor. Just sit there and wait for me for a while."

Rhodes nodded to show he understood and sat down to watch curiously.

Meanwhile, his mother-in-law's daughter sat beside him, chatting enthusiastically.

"You're the blacksmith's assistant, and I'm the weaver's daughter. Don't you think we're a perfect match? Don't you? Don't you!"

The girl, who was about the same age as him, spoke happily, cupping her face in her hands and gazing at the man in front of her.

Seeing that Sanxue was not nearby, Rod could only offer a polite smile and remain silent.

The girl didn't seem to care and continued talking to herself, "Sanxue is about to leave the village. You'll be so lonely all by yourself."

"Besides, women like her who fight all the time are actually quite fierce! You can't find a partner like that. If you're a weak guy and you anger one of those women, they might abuse you, which would be terrible!"

The girl raised her fist at him, making a punching motion, "Isn't it scary? But you don't need to worry."

She quickly stood up, gently lifted her skirt, and made a cute jumping motion.

"I'm different. I never fight, I'm super gentle! Perfect for living together."

As she spoke, she lowered her skirt and extended her palm toward Rhodes, hoping that the man in front of her would hold her hand.

Just as Rhodes was considering how to refuse...

The girl's head was hit hard, making a loud sound.

"Hey, Mom, what are you doing? Don't get in the way of me finding a man! Otherwise, if the family line ends, are you going to have a baby?"

The girl covered her head and glared angrily at the old woman weaving behind her.

The old woman who was spinning the textiles gave her another slap in an annoyed manner.

He then pushed her aside and came to Rhodes.

"Ignore this brat's madness. I've already taken care of the armor. Go and give it to Sanxue."

Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief and nodded as he took the armor.

The armor in front of me is light armor, with an ice-white appearance and a smooth, light design.

The interior is lined with a fine wool lining made of Great Snow sheep, which feels warm and soft to the touch.

The old woman weaving looked out of the village, her voice filled with worry: "Recently, the village warriors have been gathering more and more frequently. I'm afraid a powerful dragon servant leader has appeared outside. Sanxue and the others are currently fighting the enemy outside the village. I hope they return safely."

"Besides, don't listen to this child's nonsense. We residents are able to live in peace thanks to the protection of the brave soldiers. They are all good children."

Seeing her mother undermining her, the girl next to her pouted unhappily and said:

"I made a lot of their protective gear. When it comes to protecting the village, I'm busier than them, okay?"

She pushed the weaver away, returned to Rhodes' side, and whispered:

"Don't worry about danger. The guardian will be in the village soon, and it will be safe here then."

"We can be happy together!"

Just as the girl was gently tugging at Rod's sleeve, giggling and daydreaming, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

With a scream, his face turned deathly pale.

Enemy has broken in!

On a rooftop not far away, a ferocious dragon servant leaped down.

The longsword forged from white bones in his hand slashed down at her head!

"Why?" Before she died, the girl's eyes were filled with confusion and resentment, unable to understand why the dragon servant would appear here.

Just as she was about to push the man beside her away and bear it alone.

A strong arm grabbed her waist and pulled her along, allowing her to evade the attack in a critical moment.

It seems there's a major problem on the battlefield outside.

Rhodes stared at the dragon servant that appeared before him, understanding this perfectly.

Amidst the puzzled and surprised gazes of the girl and the weaver, he drew a black sword from mid-air.

The spiritual power of hundreds of mist-hidden ravens was now bestowed upon Rhodes, granting him the surging power of the peak of the Extreme Realm.

With a light step, his body disappeared from the spot.

In the next instant, the dragon servant was cut in half at the waist!
