Chapter 856 Black Iron Wood
Upon closer inspection, Su Chen discovered that the gray plant looked somewhat like a tree trunk.
Its surface has a rustic gray color with a slight silver sheen.
It looks particularly strange among the colorful coral stones.
This is... Xuan Tie Mu?!
Su Chen recognized the plant and was taken aback.
Xuan Tie Mu is a very magical and rare material!
Although it is a plant, it is quite hard.
After being tempered by flames, it can produce something similar to metal, which can be used to forge weapons.
Spiritual weapons like the Blood Steel Blade are primarily made of heteromorphic crystals and black ironwood.
However, black ironwood is extremely rare!
Otherwise, the Brotherhood wouldn't have only forged two Bloodsteel Blades.
As for the Watchers' base, a black ironwood tree was previously discovered on the shore.
Later, Sun Jiancheng used it to forge a Blood Steel Blade, which Su Chen then gave to Zhao Man.
Su Chen never expected to find Xuan Tie Mu in the underwater secret realm!
Without hesitation, he reached out and pulled out the black ironwood.
Luo Xiaotian, Wang Yan, and the others who followed behind were also taken aback when they saw the Xuan Tiemu.
"How could there be black ironwood here?"
"Could it be that the Xuan Tie Mu (玄铁木) lives in water?"
Su Chen nodded slightly.
"Very likely! We always thought it grew on the shore, but now it seems it actually grows in the water."
"I knew it! We went through so much trouble, but we didn't even find a few pieces of Xuan Iron Wood!"
Luo Xiaotian suddenly realized.
"Look around the neighborhood and see if you can find any other black ironwood."
Su Chen gave instructions to everyone.
The group immediately scattered and began searching among the coral reefs, using Su Chen's location as the center.
Before long, people began to exclaim in surprise.
"Boss Su, I have a piece of Xuan Iron Wood here!"
"Boss, I found it here too!"
When they brought all the black iron wood they had found to Su Chen, after counting it, they found a total of twenty-eight pieces!
It is known that a single piece of Xuan Iron Wood can be forged into a Blood Steel Blade.
Twenty-eight pieces of Xuan Iron Wood mean that twenty-eight Blood Steel Blades can be forged!
An Wenjing and He Jiang, wielding Blood Steel Blades, were able to exchange a few blows with Su Chen.
The power of the Bloodsteel Blade goes without saying!
With so many Bloodsteel Blades, the strength of the Watchers will be greatly enhanced!
The rewards for exploring the secret realm are indeed generous!
Su Chen's lips curled up, his smile full of joy.
"Please, everyone, expand the search area again and see if we can find more Bloodsteel Blades!"
"But be careful, if you notice anything amiss, report it to me immediately via the mental link!"
After everyone nodded in agreement, they dispersed and continued their search for the Xuan Tie Mu.
Su Chen was also busy, and together with Xiang Mengmeng, Liu Ling'er, Lin Yingying, and Meng Qi, they began searching the surrounding area.
It has to be said, the secret realm is truly full of treasures!
Su Chen found other unusual plants and stones among the coral reefs.
Although I didn't recognize them, I obtained their information after scanning and taking a picture of them.
These things are all rare and precious materials; they can be used to forge weapons or to manufacture reagents!
Su Chen suppressed his excitement and unceremoniously put all these items into his storage space.
Just as the members of the Watchers were searching for treasures like Sun Wukong entering the Peach Garden, a sudden change occurred.
"Brother Su, I've spotted the enemy! Come and get my support!"
Wang Yan's voice rang in Su Chen's mind.
A thought struck him, and he immediately stopped searching.
"Something's happened to Wang Yan. Head over there and provide support!"
Su Chen transmitted commands to the others through his thoughts.
He led Xiang Mengmeng and the others, and quickly swam towards Wang Yan's direction.
Luo Xiaotian and the others, who had received the order, also met up with them halfway through the journey.
Before long, the Watchers spotted Wang Yan and Ding Di!
The two were surrounded by twenty or thirty green figures!
Su Chen looked closely and discovered that these green figures had the lower half of their bodies shaped like fish.
Its upper body is extremely strong, with a human head and arms.
Is this a fish-man?
Su Chen was taken aback.
These fish-men wielded harpoon-like weapons, wore armor, and had helmets on their heads.
They appear to be extremely powerful; even Wang Yan and Ding Di are already at the D-level combat strength.
They also struggled quite a bit under their attacks!
"Quick, go and help them!"
As Su Chen gave the order, he opened his eyes and fired his electric eyes at the fishmen!
Unfortunately, this is underwater, so the power of the originally powerful, swift and fierce electric eye can be greatly reduced!
Noticing Su Chen and his group behind them, one of the fishmen, whose armor looked more refined and who seemed to be the leader, turned around.
"Gibberish..."
It raised its weapon and pointed it in Su Chen's direction!
A water barrier instantly protected the fish-men.
The electric beam struck the water barrier, unleashing a violent shockwave!
The merman leader hadn't expected Su Chen's electric eyes to be so powerful; he almost couldn't withstand them!
Fortunately, it reacted in time, immediately gripped the harpoon, and continuously channeled its mental energy, which allowed it to withstand Su Chen's electric gaze!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Xiaotian and his group of evolved beings have already reached the fishmen.
Su Chen withdrew his electric eye and used a scanning detection on the group of fishmen!
"Mermaid guards."
"The Merfolk, who live deep in the ocean, are incredibly powerful and naturally possess extremely strong resistance to water-based supernatural abilities!"
Combat strength rating: D-rank!
"Mermaid Guard Squad Leader!"
"The best of the merman guards, whose strength far surpasses that of ordinary guards, and who is also proficient in water-based supernatural abilities!"
Combat strength rating: D+!
as predicted.
No creature that can live in a secret realm is ordinary!
Even ordinary merman guards possess D-level combat power.
Their squad leader even has D+ combat power!
Su Chen sighed inwardly, drew his Xuanjin longsword, and swam forward.
At this point, humans and merfolk were already locked in a fierce battle.
Although this is deep in the ocean, the merfolk have a geographical advantage.
But the Watchers Alliance consists of elites handpicked by Su Chen.
They cooperated well, with not only a person with superpowers but also Liu Ling'er providing treatment, while Meng Qi seized the opportunity to strike.
Therefore, as soon as the two sides clashed, the Watchers Alliance suppressed the Merfolk.
Seeing that their side was at a disadvantage, the merman squad leader seemed somewhat angry.
It brandished the harpoon while chattering incoherently.
A moment later, Su Chen and the others felt a powerful energy fluctuation!
