Today, Zhang Yilu gathered everyone together in order to discuss the development of resources.

The resource is in a valley, located in the southwest of Tianyun County, seven hundred miles away from the Martial Academy.

The crowd was going to leave in a day or two, and there was still a lot of work waiting for them when they got there. Because that resource was deep in the ground and had never been developed, Wu Song and the others needed to start from scratch and dig out all the yuan stones there.

In addition, it should also be noted that the obstruction of the Tianyun County State.

The three counties are all hostile, and neither wants the other's strength to increase. And this cultivation resource is in the country of Tianyun County, and there is a good chance that they will send someone to secretly obstruct it.

After some deliberation, they made a plan and decided to set off the next day.

Yesterday, Wu Song had just learned that the Golden Crow Church was not good for Yunrong, and he was about to leave the Lingchong County and go hundreds of miles away, which made him really unable to let go.

Wu Song found Han Mofei and asked the other party to protect Yun Rong.

Han Mofei agreed, even if he died, he would not let the Golden Crow Sect hurt Yun Rong.

The next day, Wu Song and others set off.

Gangfeng has a mount Whitehorn Kui Niu, and Yang Shuang has a mount Tianyu Fierce Horse, and both of them walk extremely fast. Zhang Yilu and Gang Feng shared a mount, Wu Song and Yang Shuang rode a heavenly horse, and the four of them walked in front.

Xiao Shan and Tan Ming each rode an ordinary horse and were left behind.

On this day, they traveled more than a hundred miles, and after nightfall, they found an inn in a town and stayed there.

Wu Song and the four of them arrived first, and after waiting for an hour, Xiao Shan and Tan Ming arrived.

Everyone rested for a while, and then they all went to the first floor of the inn to eat. Wu Song came out this time with Xiao Hei. After the meal came up, he sandwiched a piece of meat and gave it to Xiao Hei. But Xiao Hei twisted his head, looking unwilling to eat.

Wu Song tore off another piece of steamed buns, but Xiao Hei still didn't eat it.

Next, Wu Song gave Xiao Hei a little bit of everything on the table, but he didn't eat anything.

"The little black mouth has become so tricky now. ”

Yang Shuang teased.

"Speaking of which, since I bought Xiao Hei back, until now, I haven't fed it properly, I don't even know what it likes to eat, didn't you feed it before? What does it like to eat?"

Wu Song asked.

Previously, because of various things, in the three months that Wu Song traveled abroad, almost not a day was idle, and Xiao Hei was fed by Yang Shuang and Gangfeng during this period.

Yang Shuang was puzzled, "Before, it ate everything, and its mouth was not so tricky. ”

"Blackie, what do you like to eat?"

Wu Song hugged Xiao Hei in front of him and asked.

Xiao Hei turned his head to look outside the door of the inn and called softly.

Wu Song estimated that he wanted to go outside, so he let everyone eat first, and he walked out of the inn with Xiao Hei.

Outside the inn was a field, and at this time the autumn harvest had passed, and the field was bare, and there was nothing.

After leaving the inn, Blackie trotted through the fields and into a forest in the distance.

Wu Song followed, but as soon as he entered, he saw a one-man tall stone stele.

I couldn't see it from the outside, but when I entered the inside, I realized that it was a cemetery.

In the woods, far and near, there are more than a dozen stone tablets, and behind each stone tablet, there is a grave bag.

Wu Song is a person who does not believe in ghosts and gods, although he entered such a place at night, he is very calm and has no fear.

After entering the cemetery, Xiao Hei ran to a grave bag.

There were several brand-new wreaths on the grave and a lot of paper money on the ground. It seems that the person in the grave bag had just died.

Wu Song saw that its body was lowered, staring intently at a place, as if waiting for something.

Wu Song didn't dare to approach it rashly, so he stood far away.

After a long time, suddenly there was a slight sound, it should be something that stepped on the branch.

Then a long strip flew out from under the ground, and it was about a meter long, like a ribbon, and its body was graceful, like a fish swimming in water, floating in the air.

Its body is translucent and glows faintly, making it very beautiful at night.

When Xiao Hei saw the thing, he jumped up from the ground and opened his mouth to bite it.

After the thing was bitten by Xiao Hei, it struggled violently and writhed wildly.

But Xiao Hei bit hard, and it couldn't break free at all.

Then, the fluorescence on its body suddenly became stronger, and then, suddenly, several transparent ghosts floated out of its body.

The ghosts flew in a circle in the air, then rushed towards Blackie.

"Be careful!"

Wu Song let out an exclamation. When the ghost enters the body, it will disrupt its own soul. It can be temporary, and it can kill you.

The ghost rushed in front of Xiao Hei, and Xiao Hei opened his mouth and sucked a ghost into his body.

Several other ghosts were also inhaled into Xiao Hei's body in the same way.

After the ghost was eliminated, Xiao Hei opened his mouth to eat the transparent creature piece by piece.

Then, Xiao Hei happily ran to Wu Song.

Wu Song picked up Xiao Hei and carefully examined its body to make sure that it was not injured before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you eating?"

Wu Song stroked Xiao Hei's head and said very curiously.

Xiao Hei shouted at Wu Song, and then a faint white light shone in his eyes.

Wu Song suddenly felt a force coming from his palm, and that power was injected into his body, merging into the mud pill point above his head.

This power is different from the ordinary Yuan force, it is the soul power.

Soul power is another kind of power in the human body that is different from the Yuan force, and soul power is needed to manipulate the weapon of recognizing the master.

After gaining the soul power, Wu Song only felt that his whole person seemed to be refreshed, his ears and eyes were clear, and he felt very good.

"Blackie, what the hell is going on?"

After Wu Song gained the soul power, he was surprised and delighted, he hugged Xiao Hei, and he didn't understand how it did it.

What Xiao Hei just ate was a three-grade demon beast, the Soul Eater Insect. After death, the soul does not disperse for seven days. And this kind of soul eater worm specializes in finding the newly dead and absorbing their souls.

The soul contains the soul power, and when the soul is absorbed, the soul eater will also have the soul power in the body.

Xiao Hei ate the Soul Eater and instead absorbed the soul power in its body.

So why can Xiao Hei kill the Soul Eater, and why can he transfer the soul power in his body to Wu Song?

Because Xiao Hei is an extremely rare demon beast, Xuantian Dog. Demon beasts are all classified according to grades, from one to nine, divided into nine orders. However, Xiao Hei does not belong to any of these nine orders.

This clan of it is a demon beast independent of the ninth order, and it has all kinds of magical abilities. One of the skills is that you can temporarily lend your own power to the master.

Blackie eats the Soul Eater and happily returns to the inn.

Although Wu Song still had all kinds of doubts about Xiao Hei, he couldn't get an answer for a while, so he had to put it aside first.

Three days later, they came to the valley.

The True Martial Hall gave Lingchong Junguo a map showing the location of the resource.

According to the instructions on the map, the location of the resource is in a place called Baishi Valley, after entering Baishi Valley, walk more than ten miles northwest direction, next to a small stream, is the destination.

White Rock Valley was easy to find, and everyone easily found it. Then, they walked more than twenty miles to the northwest, and they did not see a stream at all.

All you can see along the way is a forest.

The crowd searched for another day nearby, and finally Tan Ming speculated that the map was wrong.

In addition to refining the Yuan Stone, Tan Ming will also survey the storage place of the Yuan Stone. After a day of investigation, he found that within a radius of ten miles, it was impossible to hide Yuan Shi underground.

It was already night, so they pitched their tents in the valley and slept all night.

The next day, the crowd continued to search in the valley.

They returned to the entrance to the White Rock Valley and looked northeast.

Although the place marked on the map is wrong, the description of the location of the resource should be correct. The place they were looking for was probably by a small stream.

Moreover, according to Tan Ming's experience, mineral deposits containing Yuan Shi are indeed easy to exist in places with water.

In this way, the creek is the key, and if you find the creek, it is easy to find the resource.

They had just walked more than a mile when they met an old man. The man was hunched over and carried a basket with a bundle of dry wood in it.

The old man seemed to be a local resident, and he should know where the creek was.

"Old man, do you know where there is a creek around here?"

Wu Song walked up to the old man and smiled.

"There's a creek around here, but it dried up five years ago, what are you looking for for a creek?"

The old man squinted his bloodshot eyes and wondered.

Wu Song and the others looked at each other, how long had it been since the True Martial Palace had been here? The creek that had been dried up five years ago was still drawn on the map.

"Old man, where is that dry stream?" Tan Ming asked with a smile.

It doesn't matter if the creek is dry, as long as you find the place where the creek is, you should be able to find the location of the resource.

"Come with me. The old man said, turning and walking.

Wu Song and the others followed the old man and walked towards the valley. Half an hour later, they turned a mountain col, and a valley appeared in front of them, and there was a village in it.

The old man pointed to the northwest of the village and said, "Go there for a quarter of an hour, and you will see the course of the brook." ”

After saying this, the old man ignored the crowd and went down the mountain to the village. The people followed the old man and went to the village.

It is a small village with a small area and less than 1,000 villagers.

Wu Song and the others originally wanted to pass through the village and then continue to look for the stream, but after entering the village, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

There is only one main road in the village, which is lined with houses. Under the eaves of the houses, there sat some villagers, old and young, but they were all very weak, with yellow faces and thin muscles, as if they were seriously ill.

A seven or eight-year-old child was walking down the street, halfway through, when he suddenly fell to the ground, and then he didn't get up again.

Wu Song hurriedly ran over, picked up the child, and found that he had fainted. The child's face was like white paper, very thin, and his ribs were clearly prominent, like a bundle of dry firewood, only a little light.
