The troll soon turned into a humanoid torch under the continuous bombardment of the fiery glue.

Yuna and Yuya then shifted their targets, and the "fire projection" began to spread to the left and right. The gnolls who marched in line bore the brunt of their pockets.

- The gnolls are so fierce, so terrible!

Eliza thinks so. But watching the gnolls tremble under their spells, and watching them fall in droves under Sister Yuna and Sister Yuya's fiery glue, Kittenwoman felt that they were not so scary again.

- stupid to death, just running around there, it's useless!

As Catwoman saw, with or without a heart, the gnoll leader collapsed in grievances.

If the gnolls are given a chance to fight in close combat, the combat power they burst out cannot be said to completely suppress the knights as the backbone, but it is definitely no problem to hang the militia and town guards, and it is definitely no problem to drag a few knights as backs with a single blow before dying. Unfortunately, the gnolls never managed to get ahead of the knights. Either he was blocked by illusion and his path to the charge, or he was smashed by the blazing glue and he was dazed.

The battle didn't last long, not even as long as it took to preset the battlefield, set up traps, and set up illusion sentry posts.

The gnolls left corpses all over the ground, almost all of them were wiped out, and few escaped. And the powerful combat power they rely on, the three trolls "Keqing", are also too dead to die. The fiery glue burned them to ashes, leaving nothing behind...... No, there's still something left, and it's pretty weird.

When the militia in charge of cleaning the battlefield came to report that some very strange gems had been found, Fang Qiuling was looking at the map thoughtfully.

Troll ...... Trolls shouldn't be here!

The trolls of the Frostmist Forest are all "owner-owned". The leader of the troll tribe in the Dikalt Valley is a powerful witch doctor, who is the "strange species" of trolls, and the "strange troll" who can use his brain. It relied on strange sorcery to gather its kindreds throughout the Frostmist Forest, and enslaved many kobolds and goblins as vassals. A powerful tribe of trolls is growing stronger because of its existence.

It is very unusual that the cave-dwelling gnolls tribe was lucky enough to invite three trolls "Keqing". Could it be that the witch doctor came out to find the way? But the question is, how do you get a troll stupider than a pig to pass on the information he has stolen? Is it by their "ahh

Fang Qiuling was estimating the distance between the current temporary camp and the Dikaert valley when the militia arrived.

- Gems? What gemstones? Trolls turn into gems after being burned to death? Could it be a magic crystal? But...... It can't be either!

Fang Qiuling was a little dazed, because this was unheard of.

If the troll will leave a magic crystal after death, then the game "Elune World" must have a related setting. But I've never heard of a player pulling out a handful of magic crystals when touching a troll's corpse.

When a monster dies, it leaves behind a magic crystal that is the source of its power, and the appearance of the magic crystal has many similarities with gems, but the problem is that a troll is not a monster! Although trolls are stupid, they are undoubtedly an intelligent race. Once, that is, for a long, long, long, long time...... In the past, there were also powerful countries ruled by trolls, who established magnificent and majestic capitals, created a power system called "witch", and had a civilization that belonged to trolls.

Whether the trolls of other worlds will leave behind magic crystals after death, Fang Qiuling didn't know. But Elune's trolls, they may not have that "function"!

- Wait a minute, you can't say it too absolutely. It's not impossible for a troll to leave a crystal behind after death. But......

Generally speaking, it is also impossible for humans to leave magic crystals after death, and it is also impossible for gems to be found. However, if a high-level caster dies by burning itself, the source of its power has a certain probability of turning into a demon core. The magic core can be regarded as a special magic crystal. In other words, high-level troll casters will also have a chance to leave a core after death. But the problem is that the three trolls who had just been burned to death by the Blazing Gel didn't look like high-level troll spellcasters at all. Whether it's a troll shaman, a druid, or a unique spellcaster, the professional witch doctor, it's quite difficult! A simple flame protection is effective against the Blazing Gel, and it is unlikely that a troll caster will be burned to death by the Blazing Gel!

Before the militia could finish reporting the situation, Yuya walked over with a large cardboard box.

"HOSTS, HOSTS, MASTERS, MASTERS. Look, look! ”

You Ya leaned forward slightly, motioning for Fang Qiuling to look inside through the opening above the carton.

At first glance, Fang Qiuling immediately took a breath of cold air.

- Shhh Lots of sapphires!

Each crystal in the carton is the size of a fist, most of which are azure blue, and a few are cyan blue. So many sapphires gathered together, emitting a pure and crystalline luster under the light of a campfire, it is dizzying beautiful.

“…… There's still something to be done later, and my sister is still looking for it. I guess there will be such a box! ”

Fang Qiuling was dumbfounded for a moment, then immediately put his hand into the carton, grabbed the top sapphire and put it in front of his eyes to take a closer look.

The value of gemstones is high. In the country where Fang Qiuling lives in the present world, a carat sapphire can be sold for about 5,000 yuan, depending on the quality of the gemstone. There was a box full of them, and a cursory glance could tell that there were more than thirty of them, and each one was so large that it was hard to turn your eyes away...... This made Fang Qiuling have to wonder if they were fake, because the crystal stones would also reflect the same luster under the bonfire. And the price between crystal and gemstone is much worse!

Sapphire is a corundum gemstone, the most important feature is the uneven color, in which you can see a parallelogram of cylindrical arrangement, straight bands of color of different shades, and growth lines.

In terms of gem identification, Fang Qiuling still has a lot of experience. In the past, in order to find prisms that could be used as elemental holders, he had traveled back and forth to many places, and obtained a lot of information about gems from gem merchants. Later, when he returned to the present world, he found a lot of books related to gems in the big books of Weiyang Palace, and further studied and strengthened.

The sapphire in his hand is hard and smooth to the touch, with a slightly deep luster and a slight harshness. Looking at the gemstone closely, the crystals inside it are relatively neat and very clean - it can already be preliminarily judged that this is not a natural gemstone, and there are traces of artificial manufacturing. Because natural gemstones always have some impurities in them, and the crystals are often messy.

"It's not natural, it's artificial......"

Fang Qiuling's low murmur made You Ya's originally bright eyes freeze all of a sudden. I saw that Fang Qiuling casually took out another sapphire from the carton, and after a little inspection, he came to the conclusion that it was also an artificial gemstone.

Yuya pursed her lips, not very happy.

- Boring! I'm not happy!

However, at Elune, the value of gemstones is not only reflected in their quality, whether they are artificial or natural, but more importantly, the affinity of the gemstones for the power of the "source". The amount of mana that a gemstone can hold, the form of mana that can be accommodated, and the affinity of mana are all important factors to measure the value of gemstones.

For example, the ruby in Lily's hand that was used as an energy storage crystal. Again, this ruby is not naturally formed, it was made synthetically by a wizard. However, due to its relatively large fire element capacity and excellent Mana affinity, its value far exceeds that of natural rubies of the same volume.

How do you confirm the Mana affinity of the gems in your hand? It's as simple as just injecting magic into it.

Fang Qiuling immediately concentrated slightly, mobilizing the Mana in his body to infuse the gem.

A standard unit of mana was quickly poured into the sapphire, and a wandering speck of light lit up in the center of the sapphire. The light grains are so bright that they give the sapphire a brilliant glow, like a small blue light bulb.

- Pretty good Mana affinity. There is very little loss between the injected mana and the stored mana.

Fang Qiuling's slightly increased magic power was injected, and as the magic power was accelerated, the wandering light particles in the center of the sapphire gradually grew, and the brilliance emitted by the sapphire gradually increased.

- What is this attribute? Blue-white, it should be wind, or light is also possible. But...... Why doesn't it look like it?

The light particles that swim in the center of the sapphire emit a brighter brilliance. But the light particles do not have the agility of the wind element, nor the gentleness of the light element. This abnormal phenomenon immediately made Fang Qiuling more vigilant.

Yuna also walked over with a cardboard box, which also contained sapphires of different sizes. However, compared to the sapphires in Yuya's box, the sapphires in Yuna's box were much smaller, like debris falling from a large gem.

Fang Qiuling's gaze swept over the box very casually. But after a sweep, his gaze immediately straightened, and the hand holding the sapphire trembled slightly.

Yuya kept an eye on his stupid master, and when he saw that his expression became slightly nervous, he immediately asked out loud, "Master, what's wrong?" ”

“…… No, nothing. Fang Qiuling grinned, revealing a not-so-good-looking smile, he lowered his voice slightly, and whispered, "Stand back a little...... Yes, a little bit back. ”

Yuya didn't know why, but she still did it obediently, and by the way, she also grabbed her sister who was about to come forward. Yuna, who was walking forward with the box, also noticed that her master's expression was wrong, and her already serious little face immediately became more solemn.

"The host ......"

"I'm fine, just wait a minute."

Fang Qiuling barely managed to squeeze out a smile. The bright grains of light in the sapphire in his hand began to dim, and the twins were keenly aware that their master was constantly pulling Mana out of the sapphire.

- What's going on? Is there a problem with sapphires?

The next moment, I saw Fang Qiuling throw the sapphire in his hand to the ground, and then quickly took out a shield from the storage bag, buckled it upside down on the sapphire, and his body also pressed on the shield.

"Boom!"

Not a break, but unusually loud explosion, rang out from under the shield.
