Volume 1: The Beginning of the Storm Chapter 20: Into the Mountains
The fact that the Yang family invited all the families and the families to gather in the Yang family gradually lost their popularity in Canglan City. Now it is widely circulated that a few days later, the news that the families will jointly explore the Wolong Mountain Range.
Everyone is ready to go, full of expectations for the Wolong Mountain Range, eager for their family to become the lucky ones of this trip and obtain the great opportunity hidden in the Wolong Mountain Range.
In particular, the four families of Lingyang, Zhou and Huang, who are the four families of Canglan, attach great importance to this trip. Because this harvest is likely to be related to the Canglan Conference half a year later, which will determine the name of the first family in Canglan in the next 30 years.
And this momentum has not only driven all families, but also allowed many industries to take advantage of the situation to make a lot of money.
For example, the sword-casting workshop has been surrounded in recent times. Weapons, a sharp weapon that integrates killing enemies and self-defense, are absolutely indispensable. Swords, guns, and all kinds of weapons were also sold out all at once. The blacksmith in the blacksmith is also working day and night, rushing to make weapons.
The business of Dan Yaotang is even more prosperous. In the unfortunate event of an injury, the panacea comes into play. After all, no one dared to pack a ticket, believing that they would be safe and sound on this trip.
Similarly, all kinds of healing drugs bought in various pharmacies have also been snapped up, and none of them are in stock.
Canglan City was so lively that it lasted for several days, and finally gradually subsided as the date came.
The Wolong Mountains are located at the very edge of the vast Canglan City. It's a mountain, wooded, grassy, but it's also dangerous.
In the silent Wolong Mountain Range, teams of people and horses were stationed in the outermost part of the Wolong Mountain Range on the edge of Canglan City. The formations of each family are vast and extraordinary, far greater than before. At the back of the team, there are also many independent warriors who follow, trying in vain to get a piece of the pie.
In the ranks of the Ling family. The three giants of the Ling family, all of them have arrived on this trip, standing at the forefront of the Ling family's team. Behind the three of them, there were also several elite martial artists from the Ling family, all of whom were all here at this time. Not only the Ling family, but also the Yang family, the Zhou family, and the Huang family also dispatched the backbone of the family, which is enough to reflect the importance they attach to this expedition.
This time, it seems that each family in Canglan City has sent half of the masters in the family, and they are bound to win this opportunity.
The outermost part of the Wolong Mountain Range, headed by the four Canglan families, is arranged from front to back according to the family level. Everyone stood here quietly, waiting for the real opening of the Wolong Mountain Range.
Rumble!
An earth-shattering sound rose from the Wolong Mountains and resounded through the sky. A powerful coercion struck everyone overwhelmingly. Everyone was busy using spiritual power to resist, and their own situation improved.
Although this is the case, it also means that the Wolong Mountain Range is finally open again at this moment!
"Everyone, do your own thing. At the front of the team, after Yang Pochuan, the head of the Yang family, said this, he led the Yang family to move forward.
Because the news was informed to the whole city by the Yang family, the families agreed to let the Yang family be the first to enter this exploration. After that, there was the phalanx of the Ling family, and then the Zhou Huang family. After the four major families entered, it was the turn of the upstream family, the midstream family, and finally the downstream family. Independent warriors, on the other hand, only entered after the major families.
The Wolong Mountains occupy a large area of land in the vast Canglan Domain, covering a wide area. If you want to explore the Wolong Mountains thoroughly, it will definitely take more than ten days.
All the teams split up to find their own family's chance. At the same time, there are also several teams, with wrong minds, quietly following some weak families, in a vain attempt to suddenly take action and seize the opportunity when they find the treasure.
Living in the Canglan Domain, the truth of the law of the jungle has long been in the blood and bones. Looting by force is just an ordinary thing. Unless you are the supreme and strong, you will only end up with a miserable death here. If you want to survive, you must do whatever it takes.
The mighty Canglan Domain people have all entered the range of the Wolong Mountain Range at this time.
It's just that what no one knows is that above the sky that everyone's eyes can't reach, an old man in a black robe and covered in black cloth is looking down at the void, and the picture of the procession entering the Wolong Mountain Range is in his view. His eyes seemed to be searching for something, and he quickly set his sights on one of the teams.
"Hey, hey, hey......" A cold voice came out of his mouth.
The Ling family's team.
"This exploration, the Ling family's team was divided into three groups, led by the three of us. Once the target is found, it is immediately transmitted to the other two teams. "At the forefront, Ling Tianhao commanded accurately and began strategic deployment.
Ling Tianhao, Ling Diyuan, and Ling Renjie, each led their own line of people to form a corresponding team. The three teams of the Ling family also set off separately.
It is recorded in ancient books that the last time the Wolong Mountain Range was opened, a large number of rare treasures appeared in the mountain range. Precious medicinal herbs, rare ores, and even rare treasures. Sure enough, it didn't take long for many teams to see all kinds of strange medicinal fields and mineral veins.
The other families who saw it were all enthusiastic about their luck and couldn't wait to start mining and collecting. However, following Ling Tianhao and his party, they ignored some precious things and went directly towards the interior of the mountain range.
If anyone saw the behavior of the Ling family, they would definitely think that the Ling family was stupid.
"Dad, these things, let's just ignore them?" Ye Xiao was full of doubts about Ling Tianhao's approach. In the Wolong Mountain Range, which kind of medicinal herb is not a precious treasure? Why did Ling Tianhao turn a blind eye to it?
"Compared to that, these are worthless. ”
What is it that is hidden in the Wolong Mountains that makes them give up everything else for it?
"The last time the Wolong Mountain Range was opened hundreds of years ago, the Ling family found a rare spirit stone vein in it. And although I divided the Ling family into three teams, I was actually looking for them separately, and this was the matter of transmitting the sound. ”
The ancestor of the Ling family actually found a spirit stone vein in it, especially the word spirit stone, which attracted everyone's attention.
The spirit stone is a precious ore produced in the world of heaven and earth, which contains pure spiritual power of heaven and earth. Just one piece is quite beneficial to the cultivation of martial artists. Spirit stones have always been extremely precious, and they are even more valuable. Now in front of the Ling family, there is such a huge temptation, how can they not be moved? Compared to the spirit stone veins, these weeds and wildflowers can't be on the table at all.
"East, South, West, North...... Go in this direction. Ling Tianhao was at the front of the team directing everyone forward.
In a place in the Wolong Mountains, a team of midstream families is stationed here at this time, searching for treasures.
"Oh my God! it's a treasure! a treasure!" came from the search procession, and out of nowhere, there was such a voice that made people cry with joy.
Hearing this, the scattered disciples around the man hurriedly gathered towards the place where he was. Sure enough, there, there was a pile of sparkling yellow ore.
The ore is yellow all over, and each piece has a different shape. This ore is called citrine. Of course, it's not the gold that people dream of, but citrine!
Citrine is a good flux, which is widely used in casting, and can have a great acquisition value in the forging industry.
At this time, large and small citrine ores were piled up in this land. The dazzling yellow light moved the children of this family.
"Dig it up and take a look. "I don't know who suddenly suggested it.
The people started work from the place where the ore was found, and in a short time completely hollowed out a large area around it. Pile after pile, piles of ore were dug up. Seeing such a rich amount of citrine ore, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that their efforts had finally paid off. With the massive resources of citrine ore in exchange, their family will definitely go further at this Canglan Conference.
It's just that all of them rejoiced too soon. A ferocious spirit beast has been lurking around for a long time.
That beast was a spirit beast of a breed called the Potbelly Beast. As the name suggests, it is famous for its huge appetite. Legend has it that pot-bellied beasts can eat anything, whether it is a human or a spirit animal, and even extremely hard ores, they can easily digest them.
However, the pot-bellied beast has a flaw, that is, it does not have sharp claws and does not dig for food on its own. Therefore, most of these spirit animals live in densely populated places or near rich mineral resources. Wait for the humans who came to mine to finish, and then there will be a profit from the fisherman.
Sure enough, seeing that everyone had completely dug up the ore, the lurking pot-bellied beast was no longer hiding. With a roar, he rushed towards the extremely tired crowd, obviously trying to wipe out the countless gold mines in front of him.
"It's a pot-bellied beast!"
"The pot-bellied beast eats people. ”
"Big-bellied beast in the early stage of the Earth Spirit Realm! ”
"Why did the pot-bellied beast in the early stage of the Earth Spirit Realm appear here?"
They are only a midstream family. Even as the head of the family of the first person in the clan, cultivating to the highest level is the peak of the Yuan Spirit Realm. And those who majored in the Gundam Earth Spirit Realm were all upstream families in Canglan City.
Now the head of the family is helpless and helpless, let alone them who have cultivated even lower? In the face of a big-bellied beast in the early stage of the Earth Spirit Realm, how could they have the strength to fight? If the pot-bellied beasts tried to eat people, they would all die here, and there would be no chance of returning alive. Fortunately, the pot-bellied beast just ate the citrine ore by itself, and did not chase after the crowd that scattered.
Everyone is like a headless fly, fleeing in all directions, who cares about the east, west, north and south? At this time, who cares about the piles of citrine ore that have just been dug up and can be exchanged for a large amount of resources? The only thought in their hearts is to flee for their lives. Trading citrine ore for a chance to survive, the deal was simply worth it.
Maybe the family would complain about the encounter with the pot-bellied beast afterwards, but no one expected it......
Not only this family, but many families who were exploring on the outskirts of the Wolong Mountain Range were attacked by powerful spirit beasts.
