Instead, they merged together.
Soon over a hundred merged entities formed from a thousand shadow clones appeared before Yua.
With another wave of his hand, those 100 shadow clones charged towards the valley.
Although the fierce wind inside the valley was terrifying, it posed no threat to the shadow clones with a constitution of over 2 billion.
Now that Yua shadow clones had not merged yet, they could handle the situation.
As soon as they merged, their terrifying constitution boost would make even demigods look insignificant.
Moreover, since UA had already reached the extraordinary level, the shadow clones could also utilize relatively rough shadow laws and due to their 1,01 relationship.
Although their comprehension of the shadow laws hadn't increased, their quantity had surged a thousandfold.
And under such intense law power, even if they encountered a legendary demigod, Yua's shadow clones would still have a fighting chance.
Of course, as mentioned before, until Yua had actually seen a legendary demigod, he wouldn't dare to make any rash conclusions.
After all, there had been a legendary precedent to consider.
After sending the merged shadow clones into the valley, Ywa didn't leave immediately.
He needed to check the mining speed of the shadow clones.
Keep in mind that a level seven territory requires 100,000 runstones.
That's not a small number.
If they were too slow, Yua would continue to send out merge shadow clones.
So, he had to pay attention to their mining speed.
As for being too fast, fast is certainly good, and Yua wouldn't impose any restrictions.
Soon, in Yua's perception, the shadow clones had entered the canyon again, scrambling on all fours to reach the bottom.
Then UA saw one of the merged shadow clones use its established claws to pierce directly into the greenish cliff.
With a swift motion, a large block of stone over 3 m high and half a meter thick was cut out.
Following that, the shadow clone hoisted the massive stone and used shadow traversal to appear right in front of Yua.
Looking at the enormous green stone blocking his view, Yuwa's mouth twitched slightly.
Just the size of this stone could easily create over 20 units of rune stones.
With a wave of his hand, the shadow clone disappeared again along with Yua himself.
Since it was confirmed that these shadow clones could mine the green windstones here, Yua decided not to stay any longer.
After all, the howling wind was quite annoying.
Master, you're back.
Did Oilia really find the elemental gathering place? Just as Ya stepped out of the shadows before he could respond, a figure had already dashed into his arms, feeling the softness in his embrace and the familiar voice, Ewa instinctively reached out to pinch the cat ears on the head of the girl in his arms.
He then lowered his head to look at the charming catgirl and smiled.
Yes, I did find it.
We won't have to worry about runstones anymore.
Actually, I have good news to share with you, too.
Seeing the joyful smile on Ywee's face, Elm also displayed a mischievous expression and stuck out her little tongue at him.
"Oh, wicked news.
" Hearing this, Yiweb became curious and looked down at the little cat girl in his arms.
We discovered an area rich in earth power in the southwest, and the materials there can also serve as rune stones.
Elm blinked her large cat eyes and smiled brightly as she spoke.
Ewan never expected that Elm and the others had also found a source of elemental stones.
This left him stunned and his eyes widened in surprise.
To be honest, Yua suspected that he had been blessed by a lucky woman today.
Discovering two sources of elemental stones in one go.
He isn't exciting.
Observing Yua's expression, Elm smile faded and she asked with a playful tone, reflecting his shocked face in her eyes.
It is indeed surprising.
By the way, how is that elemental gathering place? Are there any other lords nearby? Is it in a forest or on a prairie? Prompted by Elm's question, Yua snapped back to reality, holding her soft body and sitting down on the sofa.
He then looked in her eyes, rapidly firing off questions.
I want to check that area.
It's a relatively hidden plateau, not very large, about 10 km in diameter.
It's roughly 300 km away from our territory, but I did find traces of other territories there.
Previously, there seemed to be a different race in that area, but since we've been strictly enforcing the expulsion of lords within 500 km, they should have left.
However, if they know about that elemental gathering place, they will definitely come back.
Elm candidly shared her findings along with her speculations about the presence of other races.
300 km high.
It seems we need to send shadow clones to mine there.
As for being discovered, so be it.
At this stage, we don't need to worry about other lords.
By the way, how many alchemical puppets has Kuster made? Upon hearing this, Yuet calculated in his mind.
300 km was clearly too far for the residents of their territory to mine.
So, it was obvious that he needed to send the shadow clones to do the job.
As for the fact that this was discovered by other lords, Yayua didn't take it too seriously.
Now her territory already has hundreds of extraordinary level powerhouses, so she wasn't worried about those alien races launching another coalition attack.
Don't forget, she hadn't even made a move last time.
Soon, Yayua seemed to think of something and started asking about the alchemical puppets.
Although alchemical puppets aren't very effective against extraordinary level beings, they're quite useful for holding back golden level ones, and there is still plenty of space in her territory.
She didn't mind storing a few more for emergencies.
As for the alchemical puppets, there have been quite a few added along with the 5,000 from you before.
There are now over 30,000 alchemical puppets in the territory.
According to the speed at which Kusville and the others are making them in their spare time, in another 2 or 3 days, it should reach 40,000.
However, I think we don't need too many of these alchemical puppets.
40,000 is just about right.
After all, they're ultimately only peak silver level existences.
At most, they have stronger recovery abilities, and they will inevitably be phased out in the later stages.
So, having 10,000 stationed at each city gate should suffice.
Hearing Aua's inquiry, Elmi thought for a moment before speaking.
However, when it comes to alchemical puppets, Elmei felt that the territory really didn't need too many of them.
After all, as time goes on in future battles, basically beings below extraordinary level will be unable to participate.
So rather than wasting so much energy, it would be better to let those alchemical girls spend more time leveling up.
Well, what you said does make some sense.
So just arrange it according to your thoughts.
However, I think the possibility of completely phasing out alchemical puppets is quite low.
After all, alchemical puppets are also a product of human research.
Since they could be developed to silver level, there must also be ways to continue upgrading them.
But let's leave that to the researchers at the institute to figure out.
After that, you can notify them.
Yay didn't oppose this and nod it.
However, Yayed didn't really plan to give up on alchemical puppets.
Just as Yayu said, alchemical puppets were also developed by alchemists from the steel refining world.
Since they can research alchemical puppets to silver level existences, then with the talented researchers in her territory, it shouldn't be a problem for them to upgrade the alchemical puppets by one or two levels, right? You really know how to make use of people.
Elmei smiled and playfully pinched Yayua's cheek with her smooth, fair hand.
Those who are capable should work more, right? Otherwise, why would I invite them over? Yaya completely agreed with this.
Moreover, inviting those girls back was essentially for her own benefit.
Otherwise, would Yua really be so idle as to invite such a group of people back to server? Master, we're back.
Elmi just smiled and didn't refute.
Just then, a familiar and slightly enchanting voice came from the entrance of hall.
The two looked over and saw Lei and Seco walking in from outside.
so early today.
Looking at the two girls who had returned, Yayuette glanced at the sky outside, seeing that it was only afternoon when they returned.
It was indeed much earlier than usual.
He It's Siko who wants to show you a surprise.
