Chapter 25: Underground Passages
It was a spiritual material shop, and the store was screening the spirit ore that had recently been mined from Lingnan Mosen, and the round stone was one of the ordinary stones that had been cleaned out of the spirit mine, and it was at the door of the store, and such round stones were piled up more than one meter high.

Lifting the wooden stick, Liu Tao's palm touched the end of the stick from the end of the stick to the end of the stick, and sighed in his heart.
The fierce aura and the impact of Chen Xiaoyuan's force, although the wooden stick was harvested from a thousand-year-old vine, finally could not withstand the impact of the two forces, although there was nothing on the surface, there were already dense cracks inside.
"It's time to forge a gun." The sky-shattering style is a spear skill, and although the wooden stick can be used, it is still not as handy as the real spear after all.
The spiritual material store was very busy, dozens of large boxes were opened, herbs, animal bones, and ores were stacked separately, the boss was directing a cadre of clerks to clean up the spiritual materials, and when he saw Liu Tao walking in, the boss waved his hand directly to drive people, "Go and go, it's not open today, aren't you busy?" ”
"I'm going to buy the pile of hematite outside the door." Liu Tao didn't mind, and directly explained the purpose, "If you throw it away, it's better to sell it to me, refine a little red iron and add it to the blade of the weapon, you can also make some money, right?" ”
There is business coming to the door, and it is to buy garbage, the boss can't refuse, and Liu Tao bargained at the door of the store for a while, so that Liu Tao pulled all the eight silver coins away.
"Silly fork." Liu Tao and the boss greeted each other in their hearts at the same time.
This cobblestone is indeed genuine hematite, mixed with a large number of dark impurities, the light in the spiritual material store is not too bright, the cobblestone is thrown out, and it is also piled up in the shadow in front of the store, if it is not for one of them being stepped on by the Iron Hand Gang and rolled into the sun, Liu Tao would not be able to see the little purple black luster hidden in the darkness.
Na soul gold, hematite associated with spiritual ore, extremely rare, can be integrated into spiritual sense, is the core spiritual material for refining magic circles and horcruxes, even if Nahai masters, they have to fight for the best spiritual materials that break the scalp.
The clerk of the spiritual material store obviously didn't know the soul gold, and the light in the store was not good, so he couldn't find the peculiarity of the cobblestone, and even threw these spirit ores worth hundreds of thousands of dollars as hematite with too low content and no use value on the side of the road.
Eight silver coins bought hundreds of thousands of top-grade spirit mines, and Liu Tao was very unhappy by the tall and short two.
Having rented a carriage with two silver coins and dragging all the cobblestones to Yao Xuan's house, Liu Tao pondered what materials he needed to refine a Horcrux spear.
It's also quite funny, Liu Tao even thought of the name of the future Horcrux spear, and it was called the scavenging gun.
But there is no clue what should be the main material of the scavenging gun.
Thinking for such a long time, Yao Xuan should also wake up, Liu Tao quickened his pace and hurried to the sewer's home.
As for the Soul Gold Ore worth hundreds of thousands, Liu Tao could only casually throw it next to the refining furnace of Yao Xuan's family.
There is no way to refine weapons in the sewers, and the people in the alley where Yao's house is located are very simple, knowing that there is no one in Yao's house, and no one will get in by themselves.
And even if someone comes, it's just a pile of poor hematite ore, and it's not worth much.
Su Yan's medicine is clever, Yao Xuan has not been injured except for his weak body, he has nearly a day and a night of rest, and with Su Yan's help in conditioning, Yao Xuan has woken up.
Seeing Yao Xuan again, Liu Tao sighed in his heart, and he didn't know how to comfort this sad old man, so he could only stay by his side quietly.
"Taozi, I don't believe it, how can Qiao'er be... When Yao Xuan saw Liu Tao, his old eyes were already in tears, not because Yao Qiaoer ignored him, but because he didn't want to believe that Yao Qiaoer would hook up with the man who harmed him anyway.
"I'm looking into this matter, and the mouse and I are looking into it." Liu Tao sent hot water to Yao Xuan, "The person who harmed you is very strange, it turned out to be a witch sacrifice, I believe that Qiao'er was also a witch Gu by him, so she lost her nature." ”
This is all a fact, Liu Tao does not hide it, and at the same time brings hope to Yao Xuan, "I heard that as long as you kill the owner of the witch Gu, and then there is a secret method to suppress the witch Gu and take it out, there will be no big problem for the person who is in the Gu." ”
The only thing Liu Tao didn't say was that Lu Yi was actually Qi Wei, and Yao Qiao'er had lost herself to this man who almost killed her biological father.
"Qiao'er, my Qiao'er, Daddy must save you back." Seeing the hope and understanding that his daughter had lost her nature, Yao Xuan's fatherly love, which had been suppressed to the extreme, burned violently, "Taozi, I am also a martial artist in the early stage of Xiaolin, and I also understand the method of blood soul refining, what can I do, no, I heard that the longer the person in the Gu is lost, the more difficult it will be to recover his nature, and he will eventually be completely lost, I have to save Qiao'er as soon as possible." ”
Yao Xuan's eager words made Liu Tao stunned, the legendary blood soul refining art of war, the time in the Gu was too long, and his nature was completely lost.
Yao Xuan is just a refiner who doesn't even have a grade, how can he understand this? What is Yao Xuan's origin?
I didn't have the heart to investigate Yao Xuan's origin, the witch Gu lost its nature and was so domineering, which made Liu Tao extremely surprised, whether it was Liu Tao or a mouse, they didn't understand the witch sacrifice witch Gu at all, although Su Yan knew a little, but she only saw a little bit in the literature, and she didn't know anything about the witch sacrifice witch Gu.
"Mouse, purple and black blades, go." Liu Tao stood up, the original plan to borrow Qi Wei and Yao Qiaoer to go out of the city and start again is no longer working, and if it drags on any longer, even if Yao Qiaoer is rescued, what kind of person will she become.
The aristocratic district is guarded by the army, and it is impossible to enter it from the ground, even underground, when the aristocratic district was first built, the sewers were also renovated, leaving only a sewer with a diameter of four meters, and the rest were all blocked.
According to the design of the original builders, the underground of the noble district should also be arrayed to prevent someone from entering the noble district with the help of sewers to sneak attack.
But the magic circle needs someone to control it, and the soil quality of Yujiang City is extremely special, and it is difficult for spiritual sense to penetrate the soil, and the mage cannot control the magic circle at all.
In the end, there was a main sewer left, which was guarded by warriors and soldiers from the late Xiaolin period sent by the army.
"It's too tightly guarded, four officers in the late stage of Xiaolin, twelve officers in the early stage of Xiaolin and hundreds of soldiers in the early stage of Xiaolin." Squatting at the corner of this sewer, the mouse's eyes flickered, "Taozi, with the strength of the two of us, it is unrealistic to break through at most and kill them in a short time." ”
Liu Tao nodded, the mid-stage strength of the Splitting Mountain Tiger Xiaolin forced him to use the Collapse Heaven Style, the fierce qi in his body was not consumed much, but the soul power was used up by nearly half, if he was replaced by those few officers in the late stage of Xiaolin, he could only kill one at most, and then he would have to be hacked to death by the other three people.
"Dig a passage in." Liu Tao mobilized all the corpse cockroaches that Zhang Xue could control this time, and millions of corpse cockroaches crawled along the sewer at great speed, and in just a few minutes, the underground structure map of dozens of kilometers entered Liu Tao's mind.
There are not only sewers, but also many cracks, basements, some of which belong to monuments, and some of which are secret meetings and treasure rooms of nobles and wealthy merchants.
After carefully examining the underground structure map, Liu Tao soon chose a winding route.
The road is half-blocked, mostly sewers, some connect to the underground labyrinths below the sewers, and even pass through the underground secret chambers of the four nobles, and it is not the shortest route.
But the soil on this road is the softest.
The ghost-faced corpse cockroach is not an insect that is good at digging, so Liu Tao can only retreat to find such a route.
Millions of corpse cockroaches were rolling like a flood, and the second-order and first-order ghost corpse cockroaches rushed to the forefront.
They have sharper pointed feet and more physical strength.
These ghost corpse cockroaches don't need to dig out a complete passageway, all they have to do is to cut through a small passage and let the ordinary corpse roach follow in their footsteps and go to the next blockage.
It is impossible for a blockage to allow all the millions of corpse cockroaches to pounce on it, the place is so big, and there are only so many corpse cockroaches that can be accommodated, except for the corpse cockroaches at the front, more are just lined up in the back as porters, which is not efficient.
"It will take about two hours." There was a continuous rustling sound from the underground, the sound was not loud, even if the underground was very empty, a few corners, after a kilometer or two, the sound disappeared naturally, Liu Tao and the mouse sat down again, "Adjust the state, this time it is aimed at saving people, nothing else is important, if you need to fight, you must fight quickly, once you are entangled, it is very troublesome." ”
The rat changed his usual habit of giggling, and became rarely serious, "Just like before in the Demon Forest." ”
The rustling sound was indecisive, Zhang Xue was lying quietly at Liu Tao's feet, the corpse cockroach group did not need Liu Tao's direct control, there was the overall coordination of Zhang Xue, and there would be no mistakes.
Zhang Xue is only a third-order ghost corpse cockroach, and has no wisdom and soul, but it has Liu Tao's spiritual sense in its body, as long as Liu Tao arranges everything, this spiritual sense will arrange the excavation task step by step according to Liu Tao's plan.
Three hours later, Liu Tao, who was in a semi-deep sleep, was woken up by a soft chirp, which was like a ghost crying, and Zhang Xue was an hour late, and finally dug out the passage.
"Let's go." Greeting the mouse, Liu Tao took out the light stone again, which was still given to him by Uncle Xiong before he left to rescue Yao Xuan.
The quality of the light stone is not, and the light emitted is dim and dim, which is enough for Liu Tao and the rats who have lived underground for a long time.
Underground, countless corpse cockroaches took the initiative to get out of the way, the two of them were full speed, like two ghosts, quietly passing by, on the way, through four underground secret rooms, three of which are treasure rooms, the two of them will never stay, only in a secret room with a large number of sophisticated weapons to stop for a while, Liu Tao took a spear, and the mouse carried a heavy repeater.
When it was closer, Liu Tao's pace slowed down, and the mouse followed Liu Tao in fear.
He was really afraid, not that he was afraid of the hundreds of middle and late stage martial artists of the Qi family above, but that he was afraid of Liu Tao.
The centipede scar on Liu Tao's face was extremely distorted, rolling hideously like a living thing, and the killing intent fluctuated like a tide.
"Taozi," the mouse knew Liu Tao best, his fingers flicked, penetrating Liu Tao's murderous intent, and gently put it on his shoulder, "No matter what, no matter what you see, only save Yao Qiao'er today." ”
