Chapter 46: Trying to Cover Up
"Hey, Huzi!, what's going on down there!" Baili Cat shouted into the cave. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Oops~Oops~"
Baili Tiger hummed and chirped below, stood up from the crab pile, pulled off a few blue-shell crabs caught on his body, shook them off fiercely, and then looked up and complained:
"I've just come down! What can I see except for crabs!"
Then he twisted his neck and looked at the bottom of the pit.
The light here was weaker, and his eyes widened and he could only see very vaguely.
"There's nothing special about this! What are these crabs digging this hole for?
Baili Hu frowned and muttered alone.
He lifted his feet, shook off the crabs that kept surrounding, and walked step by step as if he were in the snow.
There are too many crabs underneath, piled up in many layers, more than two feet thick, I really don't know how the crabs under the bottom work like this.
Baili Tiger came to the edge of the pit, touched the wall of the cave, and probed carefully, not letting go of a trace of suspicion.
"Hey, Huzi, did you find anything?"
After a while, the voice of the Baili Cat came from above again.
"Not yet, come down too!"
Knock! Knock!
Not long after the words fell, several people jumped down one after another.
Baili Lion pushed Baili Tiger down before, and now he may have suffered retribution, just jumped down, his feet were full of crabs, and before he could stabilize his body, Baili Bear knocked him to the ground with a "bang".
Several blue-shell crabs took the opportunity to stretch out their sinful "big pincers" to the Baili Lion.
"Ah~"
The screams of the Baili Lion were ignored by everyone, and everyone else was watching the pit up and down.
"That...... Do you feel the smell of fire here? ”
Zishang raised his head and stared at the location of the cave entrance and asked everyone.
Baili Cat glanced at him, followed his gaze, and replied:
"Indeed, there is, and the aura is very pure, however, it is very strange that there is a pure fire aura under a Daze like Lei Xia Ze...... Hey, what are you doing?"
Without paying attention, Zishang picked up his sleeves, rolled up his trousers, and climbed up with the dirt on the cave wall.
After a while, Zishang climbed close to the entrance of the cave and carefully surveyed the nature of the soil.
"Did you find anything?" asked Baili Cat.
Zishang nodded slightly, dug some dirt and looked at it, smelled it, and felt almost it, before jumping down.
"The location at the entrance of the cave was supposed to have some fire-attribute precious medicinal herbs growing, and it seemed to be a high-grade spiritual material. It could also be a small dense elixir field. ”
After listening to Zishang's analysis, several people pondered for a while, Baili Hu scratched his head and wondered: "Then why are these crabs digging pits?
Baili Mao's eyes lit up and asked, "Yes, Zishang, could it be that this is a small branch of a fire vein?"
Zishang shook his head decisively and said, "Impossible, although the soil around the ore vein and the medicine field will be stained with fire attribute aura, you see, the fire attribute aura at the bottom of the pit is obviously very weak, and it is relatively strong at the entrance of the cave. ”
"And there are still a few remnants of fibrous roots in that piece of soil, so I can conclude that the cave entrance was originally a good grade of rare materials. ”
"As for why dig such a deep hole...... It's not clear. ”
Baili Cat was slightly depressed, frowning, thinking.
At this time, Baili Hu interrupted again: "The blood-eyed vermilion crabs have been killed by us, and these crabs have begun to be dishonest!
Indeed, it is still relatively cold now, and the reason why these crabs gather here is because of the summoning of the blood-eyed vermilion crab.
Now that the big boss has been killed, some crabs who originally crawled down the cave wall did not listen to the command, and felt that the empty space was relatively warm, so they simply made a hole here to live.
The crabs at the bottom of the pit also stopped working, and the crabs that were pressed by other crabs began to resist impatiently, and the strong resistance layer by layer caused a "not small" chaos.
Some of the crabs at the top were fighting against the crabs at the bottom, and some were holding crab claws, sandwiching them towards Zishang and Baili and others.
It's really annoying.
The nine of them tacitly agreed, brandished their swords, and chopped quite a few crabs.
Corpses are everywhere, stumps and arms are broken, and "blood" flows like a river......
A quarter of an hour later.
The bottom of the two-foot square pit was filled with the smell of crab roe, and several people were also tired and sweaty.
About sixty percent of the crabs were chopped up, one percent was trampled to death, and three percent of the crabs were relatively "shrewd", climbed up the hole and escaped.
"Whew~ It's finally clean!" Baili Hu spat out a turbid breath and said with a smile.
"Hmph...... I regret it a little. Zishang snorted coldly, now there are no crabs to harass, but there are crab corpses all over the ground, which is really disgusting.
Because they wanted to kill these crabs, each of them was also covered with disgusting liquid, and the knives and swords in their hands were a little slippery.
"Don't worry about these for now, let's look for it again, and see what secrets are there here to keep the blood-eyed vermilion crab busy. ”
Baili Cat beckoned everyone and carefully investigated in this small hole.
There were nine of them, and the diameter of this pit was just over two zhang, and even if you looked closely, it would only take a cup of tea.
"No, it's been so long, there's nothing!" Baili Hu said in frustration.
"Hey, you see, these crabs are still digging down, does that mean that we haven't arrived yet, and we have to continue digging down?" Baili Leopard thought for a moment and said to everyone.
Several people suddenly realized, so they discussed it a little, did a good job of division of labor, took knives and swords as shovels, and continued to dig into the ground.
An hour later.
Rumble!
"Haha, great, I finally dug through, I didn't expect there to be a hole in the ground so deep. ”
After working for so long, they finally dug to their destination in disgrace.
The hole is not big, only the size of a small room, and it seems a little cramped when nine people go in.
The walls of the cave are made of silver-gray masonry, and two rows of night pearls larger than fists are hung, emitting a gentle glow that illuminates the entire underground cave house.
"One, two, three, four...... Oh my God, I hung a full thirty-six night pearls. Who is such a tyrant!"
Baili Tiger counted the glowing night pearls on the wall, and closed his mouth in surprise.
"That's ......"
At the innermost point of the cave house against the wall, there was a strange plant with a little red star.
It consists of eight blood-red branches interspersed and intertwined to form a lantern shape, and the whole plant is about the size of a normal watermelon.
There are vague lines similar to blood vessels on the branches, and the red stars are seeping out from the inside, and they "dangle" around the outside and then return to the branches, which is not magical.
"Hey!" Baili Hu slammed the merchant for a moment and asked, "What kind of precious medicinal herb is this?"
Zishang glanced at him and said, "Although I am proficient in the Ten Thousand Volumes of Materia Medica, it doesn't mean that I know everything." ”
At this time, Baili Cat took two steps, came to the plant, and leaned over to inspect it.
Call~
A stream of flames erupted, forming a cloud of fire that burned a few of Baili Cat's hairs, but it looked like it was just ordinary flames.
"This ......"
Suddenly, he was hit by such a cloud of fire, which made him a little confused.
Zishang raised his eyebrows, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled: "I didn't expect this plant to be quite spiritual!"
He also came to it, looked at it carefully, and muttered: "It's not simple! Since it is not even recorded in the "Ten Thousand Volumes of Materia Medica", it should not be a plant left by ancient times!"
Then, Zishang took out the Zhanchen Sword and gently picked out a little of the red star that was wafting around the plant with the tip of the sword.
Silent.
Xing Meng collided with the tip of Zhan Chen's sword and disappeared, but Zishang trembled.
He approached the Night Pearl with the Zhanchen Sword, and found that a small pit less than the size of a sesame seed appeared in a place on the tip of the sword.
"Hiss~"
He gasped, the grade of the Zhanchen Sword was close to the best human mystery, and it was actually "corroded" by this red light point in a small pit, terrible!
"Don't mess ...... up"
Zishang was just about to remind them not to touch the plant, but before he could finish speaking, he turned his head and saw Baili Tiger rooting the plant, and the other hand was playing with the blood-streaked branches.
"Hiss~~"
Taking a cooler breath, Zishang stared at Baili Hu, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Wow! This plant is so powerful, after touching it, I feel like my blood is boiling!
Baili Hu said in surprise, there has never been any precious material that makes him feel like this, although he didn't eat it, just by touching it, he received many benefits, and he seemed to be wondering if this was a heaven-level immortal plant.
Grunt!
Zishang swallowed his saliva again, looking at him in fear, not knowing what to say.
"It turns out that there are such good treasures in this underground, no wonder the Blood-Eyed Vermilion Crab uses hundreds of thousands of crabs to dig it. ”
"By the way, the unicorn was infested in Ju Crab Zhu before, wouldn't it be because of ......"
Now everything makes sense, the Bloody Eye Zhu Crab originally found a small field of fire-attribute medicinal herbs in the empty space above, ate it all, and finally grew to its later state.
Later, it should be because of the improvement of the strength of the blood-eyed vermilion crab, and he vaguely felt that there were more precious treasures underground, so he kept digging down.
The legendary unicorn came to this vicinity unintentionally, and with its various legendary abilities, it also felt the powerful aura of this plant and wanted to come and see it
As a result, I met the god of thunder in Lei Xia Zeli, it should be the god of thunder who coveted the unicorn and wanted to eat it, so the two fought.
After all, Lei Xiaze is Thor's territory, and the Qilin is defeated, but the Blood-Eyed Zhu Crab is not disturbed and continues to dig.
I didn't want to, Zishang and the others ran here by mistake, and they also killed the blood-eyed vermilion crab.
After a series of reasoning, they found this super treasure and picked up a big bargain!
"It must be like this!" Under the whimsy of Baili Tiger's brain, he roughly reasoned the consequences of the matter.
"Is that really the case......
Zishang frowned, and he looked at the underground house made of silver-gray masonry.
It's clear that this is artificial!
Moreover, there is another point that is very suspicious: why is there only a small piece of fire attribute treasure growing in the empty space above?
And digging down there, you found this place.
"I want to cover it!"
Someone must have deliberately planted a small piece of fire attribute treasure herb in that empty space, and after people took it, they thought they had obtained a treasure and stopped exploring.
After all, after getting something good, the average person subconsciously doesn't continue to dig down.
Moreover, this cave house is still more than ten zhang underground, even if someone continues to dig, most of them will not dig so deep.
Only species with special perception, such as blood-eyed vermilion crabs and unicorns, will be faintly perceived.
Someone just used this kind of thinking to set up such a bureau.
So what about that...... So is the ancient plant they are getting now the ultimate treasure?
Thinking of this, Zishang pushed everyone away, took the Zhanchen sword, and continued to dig in the place before the plant.
Really!
After digging three feet into the ground, he dug out a quaint metal box.
The metal box has no special anti-theft measures, just a rotten broken lock.
After opening the box easily, the contents were presented to everyone.
An ancient book with a slightly yellowed cover with three tadpole texts from ancient times.
