Chapter 137: Picking Up a Treasure
Liang Yaokun is different from the simple Fang Huike, Fang Huike didn't think about why Xu Xingkong had a demon book but was a peripheral person, Liang Yaokun pondered for a long time, generally speaking, there is only one reason for this situation, that is, Xu Xingkong is a master of art investment, Xu Xingkong was originally likely to be a person from another sect or family, and for some reason he switched to Yuanshan Yuzhai, and now he is still in the investigation period, so he has this embarrassing identity.
Now Xu Xingkong claimed that he had a powerful guardian spirit weapon on his body, which just confirmed Liang Yaokun's previous guess, and at the same time, it also aroused a trace of curiosity and greed in him.
As a peripheral person, Xu Xingkong is undoubtedly in the investigation period now, that is, his status is very unstable, and Xu Xingkong does not seem to have a background and relationship, if he can use this, maybe he can get any benefits from Xu Xingkong, such as his talisman spirit weapon, which can block ghost attacks of level 2 or above strength
Maybe it's because of the lessons from the past, or for some other reason, since Xu Xingkong was raided once, the cautious Yushan Yuzhai exploration team has never been attacked by any initiative.
After walking for about an hour, everyone followed Lin Xiaofeng to the end of a bone road.
This is an artificially dug cave, the cave is relatively smooth around, there are no strange cracks, the height is only about three meters, although the air is stuffy and humid, but the rock wall here is relatively dry, and there is no water on the surface, if it is not for the shellfish and strange underwater creatures stored on the rock wall, this cave can easily be mistaken for a certain cave.
The cave was certainly not a bone road, but it was blocked by a pile of rocks that had obviously collapsed, and judging from the sediments accumulated between the stones, the blockage here must not have been a short time, and it was by no means a newly formed landslide.
Sure enough, Lin Xiaofeng took out the map and looked at it again and said, "This is it, our last exploration in Yushan Yuzhai ended here." ”
Although Fang Huike looked around with a curious look, this time she didn't dare to break the formation and come forward to observe the pile of collapsed stones, but paid attention to the movement behind her from time to time.
Xu Xingkong stepped forward indifferently. Leaned closer to Shi Ji and looked carefully.
Under the light of the flashlight, the stones shimmered with fluorescents, which should be the reflection of salt crystals, and the crevices of the stones were unsurprisingly full of strange shellfish creatures and miniature tower-like objects.
The stone mill naturally forms an inclined plane. It didn't seem like anyone was trying to remove the stones, so the problem arose.
"Didn't anyone who explored here last time think to remove the stones?"
Unlike Fang Huike and Liang Yaokun's caution, Xu Xingkong naturally asked when he thought of it, although Lin Xiaofeng was cold and difficult to approach. But he is a completely trustworthy partner or even a friend, not a leader and boss.
Lin Xiaofeng shook his head slightly, pointed to the top and said, "No, they checked the structure above at that time and thought that removing the stones might cause a larger area to collapse, so they didn't remove the stones, and they gave up because of time to open another passage from the side." ”
Xu Xingkong suddenly said: "So our task this time is to use these two days to open a passage on the side to come out?"
Lin Xiaofeng nodded: "Yes, even if you can't open it, you can prepare for the next exploration." ”
Xu Xingkong chuckled: "This is the predecessor planting trees and the descendants enjoying the shade, but it will take twelve years." ”
Lin Xiaofeng didn't answer this question, raised his hand and pointed to the back of the cave and said, "You and Fang Hui can go back twenty meters." Guarding the crack, Liang Yaokun and I were responsible for excavating the passage. ”
Xu Xingkong grinned and said, "No problem, anyway, if you ask me to dig stones, I won't, hehe"
Liang Yaokun glanced at Xu Xingkong with some envy and jealousy, while Fang Huike glanced at Xu Xingkong with surprise, then turned around and walked back and forth, Xu Xingkong hurriedly followed.
Due to the somewhat arc of the cave, Lin Xiaofeng and Liang Yaokun could not be seen twenty meters away, but they could see the light projected on the stone wall, and they must also be able to see the light on Xu Xingkong's body twenty meters away.
Of course. Even if you don't have to look at it, the distance of twenty meters is not a problem for Lin Xiaofeng at all, Xu Xingkong can clearly hear Lin Xiaofeng's whispered words to Liang Yaokun to arrange work, and this distance is for Lin Xiaofeng. It only takes a second or two to rush to the support, which is a suitable early warning control distance.
Liang Yaokun and Lin Xiaofeng cooperated, one used a fire-attribute spell to heat the rock wall, and the other used an ice-attribute spell to rapidly cool the rock wall, and then the rock wall cracked and fell off on its own, after digging a gap. It is also possible to cleverly calculate the appropriate burning point to speed up the progress of excavation.
In a short time, a large pile of rubble had piled up under the feet of the two of them.
"Is it safe in the back?"
Lin Xiaofeng's voice came, Xu Xingkong looked at Fang Huike, and replied:
"No anomalies were found. ”
"Very well, you're in charge of transporting the gravel right now, and it's in that rift on your right. ”
Xu Xingkong looked at the crack on the right, the width of the crack was about half a meter, the longitudinal depth was five or six meters, the crack extended up and down very much, the upper part narrowed rapidly, but the width below did not change, and the depth could not be seen, like an abyss, looking at it made people feel a little hairy, as if some monster would emerge from below at any time, originally Xu Xingkong thought that Lin Xiaofeng was asking them to defend against ghost sneak attacks, and it turned out to be to keep this landfill for a long time!
But if you think about it carefully, Lin Xiaofeng is also quite dark-bellied, if there is really any ambush down here, it would be interesting to be poured a rain of stones on his head.
Lin Xiaofeng was very well prepared, the tools for transporting the gravel had already been prepared, this was a trapezoidal large box, like a bucket, however, this thing was a spiritual weapon, which could be folded and unfolded when used, and then floated by the demon hunter, which could load about one cubic meter of earthwork at a time.
At this time, Xu Xingkong finally understood a truth, it turned out that digging the passage was not the hardest thing, at least not in front of the demon hunters, but transporting these earthworks was the most tiring work, and unfortunately, this work naturally fell on Xu Xingkong's body.
Xu Xingkong reluctantly shoveled the gravel into the transport bucket with a multi-functional folding shovel, now he knows what this shovel has been carrying is used for, he didn't expect that he would also become a small worker on the construction site one day, Xu Xingkong laughed at himself while doing coolies, and he couldn't see Liang Yaokun's seemingly sympathetic but actually gloating eyes.
Soon filled with a bucket, Xu Xingkong pushed the transport bucket to the edge of the rift, and then as long as he moved his thoughts, he could make the transport bucket unbalanced, dumping the full gravel into the crack, and with a crackling sound, the gravel fell towards the depths of the rift with dust and fallen shells.
Xu Xingkong listened attentively, looked under the rift for a while, and finally shook his head in disappointment.
Fang Huike, who was laughing on the side, said in a low voice: "There's nothing down there, right?"
"Well, no, I was expecting to hear some guys screaming in pain. ”
Fang Huike sneered, pursed his lips and shook his head without speaking, but two deep dimples appeared on his cheeks, which looked even more cute, but this ghost place was a little sinister.
Xu Xingkong pursed his lips and turned around and pushed the transport bucket back, after three or four consecutive trips, Xu Xingkong was already sweating a lot, and he had to loosen the originally tight zipper to breathe, and he didn't bring the hood and goggles on his head.
"Whew, I've finally caught up with the progress, I can rest for a while. ”
Xu Xingkong poured a bucket of gravel into the crack, habitually listening to the sound of the gravel falling to the bottom of the crack, as if talking to himself, and as if the other party Huike complained.
"Are you so tired? Why don't we two change?"
Since that attack, Fang Huike's attitude towards Xu Xingkong has been much better, and this time he actually offered to exchange jobs with Xu Xingkong.
Xu Xingkong turned his head and shook his head with a smile: "That's not good, you are definitely qualified for the work of taking out the garbage, but I am not qualified for the task of vigilance, let me do these rough jobs." ”
Fang Huike squinted and smiled, revealing two more dimples.
"In fact, as long as you control your body movements and muscle movements, you shouldn't be so tired. ”
Fang Huike is also a smart girl in Bingxue, of course, she can also see that Xu Xingkong's foundation seems to be relatively poor, which can be known from Xu Xingkong's appearance during the march, for a cultivator who has been carefully trained for more than ten years, Xu Xingkong's inefficient body movements are too dazzling.
Xu Xingkong's heart moved, and he subconsciously looked at Lin Xiaofeng's direction, suppressed the snickering joy in his heart, and pretended to ask very casually:
"How do you control this? You mean the coordination of muscles and body movements?"
"Well, the problem of coordination is actually a problem of human body learning, as long as the position of muscles and bones is controlled, the efficiency of human body learning can be maximized, and our bones are much stronger than ordinary people, and the ability to dynamically adjust is much greater, so the potential to be brought into play is much greater. ”
Xu Xingkong listened carefully, but these things are simple to say, it is not easy to really do a good job, at least you have to figure out the human body and the structure of the human body first, but having such a correct direction is already a great gain for Xu Xingkong.
"Thanks, I'll give it a try. ”
Back at Lin Xiaofeng's work site, Xu Xingkong looked at Lin Xiaofeng with some emptiness, but Lin Xiaofeng didn't pay attention to Xu Xingkong, but focused on his work, but Liang Yaokun took the time to smile at Xu Xingkong encouragingly, obviously, he also heard the conversation between Xu Xingkong and Fang Huike just now.
Xu Xingkong smiled back at Liang Yaokun, lowered his head and grabbed the shovel and continued to load gravel into the transport bucket.
In order to save effort, when Xu Xingkong shovels up the gravel, he will also inject a little energy into the spirit shovel, so that the real vision that Xu Xingkong has been opening will naturally become the active real vision locally, of course, these gravel are not beautiful, and what you see with the active vision is just a pile of black stones.
But this time it was different, Xu Xingkong suddenly found that a bright purple-blue light flashed from the gravel on the shovel, as dazzling as a lightning bolt across the night sky.
[Two more, two more!] (To be continued.) )
