After placing the sword at the bottom of the pond, Zhou Fan flew up and exited it. After another brief look at the surroundings, he exited the cave that the pond resided in.
As he got back to the ravine, he took another quick look and left it. He would now go to another place in order to create another opportunity.
He flew to the left of the ravine and traveled in the sky, looking for good places to put a treasure. After an hour of slow flying, Zhou Fan found a huge mountain. The mountain was not one that had existed in the Zhou World for a long time, but one that had just formed with the expansion of the world.
By the looks of it, it may even be the new tallest mountain. An interesting thing about it was the fact that it existed alone. In fact, there was no other mountain for hundreds of miles. Even hills were quite rare.
Zhou Fan flew to the top and looked around. The top wasn't a peak, but a flat land surrounded by walls. The area inside the walls, while flat, had a couple of minerals and ores sticking out of the ground. That made it so you couldn't see every inch from one point.
Zhou Fan landed in the center of the flat area and started to walk around and observe the ores. There were diamonds and iron and even ores that Zhou Fan had never seen before. Those ores had small amounts of Qi in them and could be considered Qi ores, although they were only at the level of Qi gathering.
Even so, Zhou Fan believed that they would grow better the longer they existed. As he walked to the other side of one of the ores, he saw two things he hadn't seen before on the mountain.
One was a glowing green ore. With a single glance, Zhou Fan was able to tell that it was emerald ore filled with Qi. It even reached the level of foundation establishment, or grade 2.
The other thing he noticed was what surprised him. Sitting on top of the emerald ore was a huge beast a head taller than Zhou Fan and 3 times wider than him if he laid down on the ground. It had small rocky bumps covering its back and on the end of its tail was what seemed like a rock or a bone in the shape of a ball.
Zhou Fan had never seen such a beast on earth or in the Zhou world. In fact, he had never even heard of one. As Zhou Fan saw it, the beast saw him.
It didn't immediately attack and instead backed away while guarding itself and sending threats towards Zhou Fan like a rattlesnake.
All the while, Zhou Fan was looking at the beast with interest. He could easily tell that it wasn't a Qi beast, but its tail could kill a tenth level Qi gathering cultivator in an instant.
However, what most interested Zhou Fan was that the beast didn't fall into the category of anything he had ever seen.
Although there was one beast lands, there were many races within the beast lands. Even so, none of them were similar to the one he had just run into or any he had heard about.
Therefore, Zhou Fan came to the conclusion that the beast was a newly birthed species caused by the expansion of the world.
With his expertise in naming over the many years, Zhou Fan quickly found a fitting name for both the species and the specific beast.
The species would be called 'dinosaurs' while the one he saw would be called an 'ankylosaurus'.
As he was talking to himself, the beast stayed in its defensive stance, ready to attack. Since it wasn't going anywhere, Zhou Fan looked deeper into it.
He was soon able to tell that it was a vegetarian, or a herbivore. After seeing that, Zhou Fan walked towards it. It continued to slowly back up, but it eventually stopped and swung its tail at Zhou Fan with full force.
As it was coming towards him, Zhou Fan put his hand out to the side. The tail collided with his arm and stopped instantly. Not only did the tail not bounce back, but Zhou Fan's arm didn't budge.
With that, Zhou Fan was also able to tell that it had some intelligence since it started running away with fear clear in its eyes. It was quite fast despite its large weight. The ground shook as it ran down the mountain and disappeared behind some trees.
Zhou Fan chuckled and continued to look around the area. There were no more surprises and Zhou fan got ready to put down an opportunity.
He also decided to stay in the area for the next couple of days and discover the new species.
Zhou Fan stood on the ground and thought about what type of opportunity he would put. Since he was on a mountain, he considered an earth type opportunity. After that, he had no more fitting ideas. Therefore, he chose the earth type opportunity.
As for what type, he decided to create a weapon, or more specifically, a shield. Although Zhou Fan didn't personally like shields, it fit the earth element the best.
Zhou Fan gathered a bunch of earth Qi and formed it in the shape of a shield. The shield was ten feet tall and three feet wide. Although it had a handle, it could also be controlled with Qi by anyone at core formation.
After all, the opportunities were not specifically made for celestials or other humanoid beings. Zhou Fan tried to make them so that they could fit any race or species.
After designing the basic layout of the shield, he started to make the surrounding ores flow into it and strengthen it. They would help with the foundation of the shield and give it some color besides brown.
Just like the sword, the shield would grow with the owner. After giving it a few formations and making them invisible, Zhou Fan considered where to put the shield.
