Chapter Twenty-Four: Tomb Raider
In the clear sky, dark clouds passed through the mountains at the junction of Yunguo and Yongguo, and blew towards the center of Yongguo. There will be a complete change here, the barren sand will be transformed into fertile soil, trees will grow on it, and there will be gurgling water in this water-scarce country.
After Jiang Mengsheng came to Yongguo, sure enough, as Yan Che predicted, the people here respected Jiang Mengsheng very much, and never had the idea of patriarchy. Perhaps this feudal mentality was originally a remnant of a luxurious life. Jiang Mengsheng will carry out a series of reforms here, which has won the approval of a large number of people. The most important thing is that people can immediately see the difference that comes with the change.
The first is that the four demons are reorganizing the ecological environment of Yongguo. It's a huge area, and it would take four people a month to completely eliminate the desert. The four of them accepted Yan Che's order, did not carry it at all, and every day they got up early and went out to clean up the desert, so that clusters of green vegetation covered the sand, which was the time when people were most happy. Every few days, it rains and that's the most refreshing time. Although people know that there is a gap between the demons and humans, and even have an incomprehensible hatred for thousands of years, but at this moment, seeing the demons who are working hard for the ecology of the human race, how can humans have any reason to resent them.
Because of the efforts of Jiang Mengsheng and others, life here has also changed a lot. The Kwafu tribe who lived in the west were incompatible with humans because of their size. After Daigo withdrew from here, a large part of the people remained here. Without arrangement, they will become robbers who specialize in looting humans, and it will be an obstacle that will be difficult for Yongguo to deal with. Therefore, Jiang Mengsheng took the initiative to take the lead and let human beings accept these tall humans. That's right, Jiang Mengsheng still treats the other party as a person, and just tells everyone that they are relatively tall people.
This attitude of non-discrimination has also touched many people of the Kuafu clan, who are unable to live with humans, but can interact with humans normally. Later, there was a way to help humans deliver goods and act as a guarantor, so that at least they could get paid to go to the human market to buy food and clothing, and never have to rob them again. They are dozens of meters in one step, and they can go around Yongguo in one day without panting, and suddenly they also integrate into human life. Most importantly, Jiang Mengsheng also chose a leader among them and let him enter the cabinet of Yongguo. In other words, this famous clan, which was excluded from the corner of mankind, has now also gained a seat in the political arena, officially confirming the role of the Kuafu clan in the Yongguo.
There is also an Inhuman race, that is, the Touching Gold Clan, which appeared in front of Mu Ruxian before and can escape, and now no longer has to live underground. Perhaps it was the first time they had moved from the ground to the surface, and they couldn't get used to life on the surface for a while. Time has given them the ability to adapt to the harsh environment, evolved superpowers that ordinary people do not have, and now that the environment has improved, they will also return to normal life. The special abilities that time gave them may slowly disappear over time.
The Touchers are able to breathe and burrow underground, and these abilities are also able to make a great contribution to society. However, there are still a small number of people who are unwilling to live with normal people. They are also attached to their abilities and do not compare themselves to ordinary ordinary people. If you want to live, then you have to have an income. Because they don't do serious things, they want to do some shady things. Originally, cremation was popular here in Yongguo, so there would be no tombs. But where there is a tomb, there will be many precious funerary goods in it. Many gold collectors who went to other countries stole many treasures from royal tombs in various places. Now that a road has been opened between Yongguo and Yunguo, they will have the opportunity to enter the territory of Yunguo to do some "business".
On that day, the sun god threw a tinder from his hand and threw it at the earth. After a few days of flying, it was finally about to land on Earth.
A red dot flashed in the sky, and even at a height of 10,000 meters, many people still noticed this thing that fell from the sky. The place where this flame fell was the Cloud Country, and the scourge in the Cloud Country was to see a red dot the size of a sesame seed appear in the air, and then it grew bigger and bigger. Scourge didn't know where it came from, but after sensing its breath, he concluded that it was something from outside the Triple Heaven - because the qi contained in it was too powerful.
Scourge flew into the air, coming into contact with the falling stone. But when he got closer, he realized that the thing that was burning with red flames was a large ball with a radius of only half a meter. It's because of the large amount of flames that are rubbed in the sky that it looks very large. Scourge is a lava dragon, a fire attribute that all dragons don't have. He was able to swim in the magma in thousands of degrees Celsius, and it shouldn't be difficult to catch this fireball.
But what he didn't expect was that the temperature of this fireball was completely more than he could bear. As he tried to catch the fireball with both hands, the temperature of the fireball's surface burned his palm. The main thing is that this flame contains the qi of the sun god, and the qi of the scourge is not its opponent. In desperation, Scourge let go of his hands and let the fireball crash to the ground.
The fireball crashed to the ground, smashing a large crater into a mountainside. Quite a few people noticed a fireball in the sky, but the first one to reach it was Scourge.
When Scourge came to the pit, he saw that it was already pitch black, and the flames of the fireball had burned everything around him to ashes. The flames also made it impossible for Scourge to get closer, and it was not until the flames were completely extinguished that Scourge had a chance to get closer.
As the scourge approached, the fireball was clearly revealed, an iron ball with various intricate patterns. As Scourge approached, the Iron Ball suddenly opened! It looked like it was a container, and there must be something special in it. When Scourge tried to see clearly, the contents of the iron ball suddenly burrowed into the ground, and the iron ball fell to the charred ground like an open lotus flower. As Scourge approached, he found that there was only a tiny hole left in the ground, except for the scattered iron ball fragments.
Scourge approached the small hole and was about to put his fingers into the hole, using his breath to sense what was going underground. When he put his finger into the small hole, the heat rushed out of it and instantly forced him away. It seems that this mysterious thing that has entered the underground still has an enchantment, which can repel the Protoss.
Just when the scourge was helpless, the gold touchers mentioned earlier appeared.
They wandered around the Cloud Country early and entered several tombs, but they were all poor people's tombs, and they found nothing. They just happened to see a fireball falling from the sky, and they were the second group of people to arrive. When I came to the place where the fireball fell, I also saw the scourge in human form.
These gold touchers didn't know that the man in front of them was the divine dragon, and Scourge didn't want to reveal his identity, so when the two sides met, they didn't speak. It wasn't until these gold touchers saw a large charred pit with an open iron ball fragment in the middle that they thought that the scourge had taken the treasure. They took out the dick and asked Scourge to hand over the treasure. Scourge said that he had not obtained the treasure, that the treasure had escaped into the ground, and pointed to a small hole in the ground and said to the gold toucher.
The gold toucher naturally didn't believe it at first, so he sent a man to check in front of the small cave. The gold-touching man who surveyed the situation sniffed and listened in front of the small cave, but after a while, he was a little excited and told his companion that there was indeed something underground, and that the gang believed that the calamity did not take the treasure.
This group of gold touchers does have the ability, just tinkering in front of a small hole for a while, they can detect what is buried in the ground. The most important thing is that the qi in this cave will have a repulsive reaction to the Protoss, but it will not repel humans, indicating that the things in this cave can only be touched by humans. Without them, Scourge probably wouldn't have known what was hidden inside, and would have just waited for them to dig it out.
When these people saw that the fight would not leave, they prepared to drive him away and swallow the treasure alone. Although he hated these people, he was more curious about the things underground, so he said that if they took out the treasure, it must be for sale, and he could buy it from them. After speaking, he also took out a gem from his arms, which was crystal clear and smooth in color, and it was a superb gem at a glance. These people are obsessed with money, and when they saw that Scourge had taken out a gem, they dared to step forward and fight for it. This time, the scourge did not hold back, but with a single palm, he knocked five or six gold touchers to the ground. These five or six people suddenly felt seasick, dizzy, and miserable.
Scourge said: "Don't toast, don't eat and drink, don't get me the treasure, don't want to live any of you!" This time, the gold toucher who played the role of a tomb robber became a slave of Scourge and had to dig up treasures for him.
However, the gold touchers themselves also had a plan in their hearts, as long as they escaped underground, no one would be able to catch them again. Judging by the fact that Scourge is willing to trade a rare gem for a treasure underground, the value of that treasure is definitely far greater than a priceless gem, and maybe it can make them famous all over the world and even change the world. Several people had their own calculations in their hearts and escaped into the ground one by one.
This treasure is also very deep into the ground, it is the underground that the Jinjin clan rarely enters, almost nearly a thousand meters underground, and people dug for a long time before they saw a glimmer of light in the dark. They didn't expect that the treasure was still shining underground, and most importantly, it was still burning!
Five or six people surrounded the treasure, each marveling at the strangeness of the treasure. What kind of strange treasure could still burn in this oxygen-free underground? This fireball made them so happy that one of them, fearing that his hand would be burned, took out a piece of cloth and prepared to extinguish the flames on the fireball. But as soon as he put the strip of cloth on it, the strip of cloth was instantly burned. The other called him stupid and should have buried the fireball with dirt. He grabbed a handful of earth and buried the fireball, and it was true that the flames were no longer visible. However, when he was about to pick up the fireball, the dirt on the fireball fell, and the fireball burned again!
The man was so frightened that he threw the fireball on the ground, thinking that his hand was burned, only to realize that the fireball did not seem to be very hot. He tentatively put his hand on the flame of the fireball, and sure enough, he didn't feel the heat, so he tiptoed the fireball into his hand.
Everyone was overjoyed, but they didn't expect that this fireball could not burn humans. They thought of taking the treasure and burrowing out of the ground from another place, avoiding the eyes and ears of the scourge. But although Scourge couldn't get close to the fireball, he could feel the aura of the few people who touched the gold below. He knew at once that the gold touchers seemed to be fleeing to another place after obtaining the treasure, so he waited in that place in advance. By the time the gold had come out of the ground, Scourge had grabbed them all.
Scourges saw the treasure in the hand of the gold toucher, a fireball that had been burning. I can't see any clues from the outside, and it seems that I have to go through it in my hands. But as he was about to reach for it, the fireball began to repel him again, and quickly disappeared into the woods like an escaped hare.
Scourge knew that he couldn't touch the fireball, but judging from the fact that the gold touchers could touch the fireball directly with their hands, it was confirmed that the fireball could be touched by humans. The touchers knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but the scourge did not want to kill them. He wondered in his heart what the purpose of the sun god threw this fireball here, and after thinking about it, he let those people go, but there was one condition.
That condition is that they are not allowed to hide the fireball after they get it, and they must make it public so that humans can figure out what the fireball does.
