Abyss Summoner-Chapter 298 - 293: Resource Extraction

Unknown Plane.

Although the Lady of Misfortune had entered it several times, due to the small number of people, it was very likely that the natives and monsters there had not discovered them.

But Chen Feng's plan was to send the majority of warriors in to plunder resources. The large numbers would likely expose their whereabouts and attract the attention of some species.

This concerned the lives of hundreds of people, so preparation had to be flawless.

Exploration of the world?

When this news was revealed, all the participating warriors were dumbfounded. To them, although they had witnessed so many changes, their mindset was still somewhat conservative. Now, when Chen Feng mentioned going to other planes for exploration, this group of people first felt surprised, then it turned into excitement.

This was a collective action. Besides the usual rewards, all participants in the battle could additionally receive 2% of the harvested ingredients.

Stirring emotions.

Chen Feng knew how to better arouse emotions.

In the face of interests, people would unleash even more terrifying potential, and this was precisely what Chen Feng wanted to see.

After calculations by the Undead Mage, although about a month and a half was suggested, the cautious Chen Feng would not actually stay inside for half a month. Ten days was a safer amount.

Chen Feng's orders were issued.

In one day, a total of 1,300 people gathered around the light screen.

Among them, the combat team, the scouting team, and the medical team all participated. Additionally, there were some staff members standing around whose main task was to screen the acquired fruits and ingredients.

Even so, the first group to enter would be strictly controlled, limited to about a hundred people. Only when the surrounding conditions were ascertained would the main force advance.

Compared to besieging the Lady of Misfortune.

The Economic Development Zone only truly showed the power a force should have at this time.

Thirteen hundred people, fully armed, went through a period of training and now had the imposing manner of a strong army. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

In addition, the Economic Development Zone's food supply for the warriors was considered luxurious. Three dishes and one soup were the standard; insect meat was fully supplied. Moreover, due to [Punishment], the higher-ups dared not commit any favoritism or malpractice.

In such a food-scarce situation, embezzlement was also a serious crime. Once discovered, all positions would immediately be stripped away. Moreover, any family members working in the camp would be dismissed, signifying what? Severe punishment reaching the nine familial exterminations.

Severe punishment in troubled times.

In this situation, even if some people did not consider their own interests, they would have to think about their relatives and friends.

What's more, the benefits and treatment in the Economic Development Zone were quite favorable. A management personnel member received as much as ten pounds of insect meat per week, so there had only been two cases of embezzlement, and after severe punishment, there had been no repeat incidents.

As the warriors gathered, the Lady of Misfortune only then became genuinely solemn.

Everything fears comparison.

Seeing such swift and decisive warriors, the Lady of Misfortune realized the gap between herself and Chen Feng. With hundreds of guns slung over shoulders, it signified that even without Inferior Demons and Flora, the Lady of Misfortune would not fare well under such intense gunfire. When her energy was exhausted, she would likely be blasted into a sieve.

Not to mention, the Economic Development Zone had allied with Bridge East. Driven by interests, the other side would continuously provide new weapons and ammunition.

......

No extra oaths were needed.

Having followed Chen Feng in battles south and north, this group had already become true warriors. At this point, more than a thousand people were divided into five phalanxes, each full of vigor, exuding a powerful aura like a wolf pack.

Standing at the forefront of these people were three professionals.

Lu Wei, Du Men, and Zhang Jianxiong.

Chen Feng's fanatics, having fused with the powers of the Scorpion Demon and Bone Demon, Lu Wei had transformed, his appearance altered slightly, his skin pale as snow. Above his eyebrows, there were two purple dots, which were the Scorpion Demon's poison. Once he transformed, these colorful dots would spread all over his body.

Although he held no weapons, due to the Bone Demon, his bones became his sharpest weapons. In battle, spine, finger bones, and even the rib cage could be used to kill. Due to the powerful energy of the Blood Sacrifice, upon awakening, he entered the Silver Tier, becoming a new force in the Economic Development Zone.

More importantly, Chen Feng bestowed him with the ability he desired, resulting in the Power of Faith becoming purer, even surpassing Li Siyu of the same level.

Du Men, on the other hand, acted on his own accord. As a botanist, he was obsessively fond of plants. Upon hearing that Chen Feng's destination was a vegetation-rich plane, he volunteered and insisted on participating in this action.

To this, Chen Feng had no objections. After all, with the Economic Development Zone not worried about food, Du Men had played a major role.

As for Zhang Jianxiong, he joined Chen Feng along with Du Men and is now appointed as the leader of the search team. Due to the food supply, he recently entered the Silver Tier. At this moment, he stood burly and robust among the crowd like a gorilla, the most noticeable one even in a sea of black.

Zhang Jianxiong awakened the purest form of strength. Ordinary blades could not satisfy his power, so he specifically had a two-meter-long iron rod crafted, as thick as an adult's thigh. When wielded, it was like a mad ape, with incredible destructive power. When smashed down, even the ground could crack.

Serving as the search team's leader, Zhang Jianxiong gained people's hearts with this rod, having slain countless obstacles like monsters and insects.

This was Chen Feng's foundation.

Troops ready, generals in place.

Moreover, this power is just part of it. If people like Wei Xun and the Summoned Beasts are included, even if things get ugly with Qiaodong, we have the power to fight, perhaps even stronger.

"Set out!"

With Chen Feng's command, the first hundred selected individuals walked into the Dimensional Rift.

Seeing familiar figures disappear before their eyes, the surrounding warriors showed astonished expressions. Clearly, they had never seen such a miraculous scene.

Watching the warriors enter the dimension, Chen Feng nodded towards the Lady of Doom, who understood and entered the rift with some believers.

Heading into an unknown environment, Chen Feng naturally needed a guide. Now seeing the Lady of Doom enter the dimension without hesitation, he determined it wasn't a scheme by her, so he could proceed without worries.

......

Unknown dimension.

No dizziness occurred, almost like a blink, when Chen Feng opened his eyes again, a strange scene appeared before him.

The environment of this area resembles a tropical rainforest, surrounded by towering trees. Besides, there were various types of flora, with some trees even bearing massive fruits that were unrecognizable.

Clearly, this is a completely different dimension from the human world.

"Temperature is around 26-30 degrees."

"Oxygen levels in the air are high, almost double that of the human world, reaching 40%."

"No signs of enemies yet, but the high oxygen suggests the size of creatures here won't be small; caution is required."

Chen Feng did not rush to explore the surroundings, but began analyzing the environment.

The biggest difference between this dimension and the human world is the massive oxygen levels, far surpassing those of the human world, indicating something. Although the environment is beautiful, it's not suitable for human habitation.

If one stays here too long, ordinary people will experience oxygen intoxication, and more severely, their bodily functions will gradually collapse.

Every dimension's environment is different.

Like the underwater world, while fish live on different levels, they can't survive together due to differing pressures.

In such an environment, ordinary people can only stay here for about two hours. If longer, their lungs will suffer from taking in too much oxygen, leading to illness.

Moreover, due to the doubled oxygen, the creatures here would be exceptionally large, suggesting that an ordinary python could evolve into a terrifying ancient giant snake over countless years in this environment.

Just because it hasn't been found doesn't mean it isn't there.

Chen Feng wasn't naive enough to think this was a paradise without any dangers.

Chen Feng's plan included maximizing resource extraction in the initial days. If time permits, he would try to explore farther.

There were some stones on the ground, looking very hard, with density even surpassing that of iron.

Chen Feng picked one up, weighing it in his hand. It seemed heavy, as big as a fist, weighing around ten pounds. No detailed processing was necessary, just polishing the stone could forge a handy weapon.

For instance, a javelin or a hammer; this magical mineral, due to its density, if made into a javelin, could be harder and more durable than ordinary steel.

Compared to fruits.

There's more valuable here than just that.

Extraction.

Besides fruits and trees, these stones are also the primary resources to be taken away this time.

Normal people can stay here for two hours. With 1,300 people divided into three groups, rotating every two hours, a base could be established and then expanded around.

Chen Feng prepared exceptionally well for this mission.

Even during material transportation, the Magic Crystal Cannon was brought along. In an unknown environment where no one knows what kinds of enemies would appear, Chen Feng needed to maximize his safety.

Chen Feng formed a plan.

As time slowly passed, after thoroughly examining the surrounding situation, Chen Feng issued the latest command.

"Claim the land!"

Chen Feng's face showed caution, he gravely said, "Take out all the supplies and assign personnel to begin setting up camp around."

He intended to set up camp here.

This was evidently Chen Feng's first step in expanding in another world.
