"Oh, oh, is the Ranger Guild already so efficient? I sent someone in before I could post the task. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

When the four-member group of rangers and supernumeracy personnel arrived at the "volcanic lava" hot spring at the foot of the mountain east of the capital, Granny Ba, who was in charge of managing it, was about to go out, and when she saw them, she picked on the white flowers in a little surprise

eyebrows, and then happily raised his hand in greeting—to touch the girls' heads.

"Mother-in-law, are you in trouble here?" Shen Qiqi asked curiously, "Although we are here because of other commissions, we can also help you deal with it by the way." ”

"Simply put, the hot springs are frozen." After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at everyone, and they all looked like they didn't understand, "Well, you better take a look for yourself." ”

At the back of the inn there is a large cistern that stores the hot springs that gush out of the mountain wall, and the water flows through several strainers to the two separate baths for men and women in the inn, and now the water level of this cistern has dropped to half of its full value, and it seems that the water has stopped coming out of the water due to "freezing".

Normally, if a spring freezes over, it can't be called a hot spring, but what if the water is still at the temperature it should be but hardened completely? Yiru stood on the cistern and walked around and jumped a few times, but the solidified water showed no signs of crumbling at all, not even steaming at all, and if it wasn't for the fact that the temperature was not low to the touch, the water in this pool really looked exactly like freezing.

"I think it's the impact of the previous earthquakes," Granny Ba said, looking at the strange hot springs, "It must have been blocked by the misalignment of rocks somewhere." ”

While this may be the reason for the lack of water, what about all the solidification of those springs?

"I can't see anything like this, but maybe it has something to do with what we want to investigate" Siyu didn't find any traces of spells on these fake ice cubes, and shook his head and turned to the old woman: "Can we go to the location of the spring?" ”

"Oh, of course," Mrs. Ba took a bunch of keys from her waist and walked to a mossy wooden door on the mountain wall not far from where the spring water came from, "Although you have to investigate the earthquake, it would be best if you could solve the problem of the spring by the way, and I will go to the Ranger Guild to issue a mission to ensure that everyone will not suffer." ”

"There are only two rangers here, there is no need to be so formal," Wang Xiaohu said, holding the knife: "Just let us help when we are passing rangers." ”

"That's not good, it's a matter of principle," Granny Ba opened the door to the passage to the mountain with her hands and feet, and then hung the key back on her waist and walked outside: "I'm going to the Ranger Guild on the second ladder, don't burn the safety of your little girl's family." ”

"The reward is to write a free hot spring for one year~" The red-haired girl gave the main reward to the thing before she completed the task.

"No, then I'll lose money, at most half a year, or half a year." …… And Granny Ba even started to bargain seriously.

……

This cave with hot spring water flowing out is a typical water-eroded cave, stalactites and stalagmites are everywhere, because there are many puddles of ordinary temperature on the ground around that reflect the light thrown in from nowhere, so the cave is not dark, and the surface of those puddles is calm, and it seems that it is also "solidified".

Connected to the hot spring outlet is a large, naturally formed stone trough that has now dried up completely, and everyone walks down this stone trough to the depths of the cave to find out where it broke off, and if nothing else, it must be related to the person who caused the earthquake.

"It's very simple, the water looks exactly like the shell of the 'Crystal Ghost' after it solidifies." Siyu explained to Qiqi, who was still a little confused: "That person has disturbed the spiritual veins many times, and the crystal ghosts living in it will definitely attack him out of instinct. ”

"Because it was too much and too fast, those shells didn't have time to dissipate and mix into the water?" Little Red Riding Age looked unacceptable: "Can you still drink water in that case?" ”

"It should be no problem after the transformation," Yiru recalled the knowledge about the spiritual veins he had seen: "The so-called 'shell' is just pure spiritual power, and after disappearing, it will dissolve into the spiritual veins nearby, and it will not be harmful to the water of the hot spring, and the water quality will be even better." ”

"Is it~ so? Then after we solve the problem, we can come to the bubble more, and then you can borrow me for half a year free coupon. Xiaoyu's train of thought was instantly distorted.

"Well, when the time comes, bring all the friends, and my mother-in-law doesn't seem to say that she wants to limit the number of people." "Really? That Qiqi is also coming~" "Speaking of which, when we first came here, we met Sister Shuihua. "And then there'......"

"I said, you guys, are you sure about that guy who fights crystal ghosts like chopping melons and vegetables? At that time, we relied on Seven's strange weapons to win. The group talked and laughed, only the magic knife looked like he was facing a great enemy, holding the big knife as if he would charge out at any time.

"Hey, bro, just get used to it. The starling flapped his wings twice and jumped two steps on Siyu's shoulder: "You see that I can't join the conversation as a starling. 】”

"I understand Master a little." Wang Xiaohu looked at Qiqi, who couldn't keep up because the topic changed too quickly, and clenched the hilt of the knife: "But no matter what, now my responsibility is to protect them." ”

As they went deeper and deeper into the cave, the surrounding puddles and underground rivers began to freeze strangely, and gradually something angular and crystal-like appeared, presumably the shell of the "Crystal Ghost" that had been scattered, and the girls finally stopped chatting and began to pay attention to their surroundings, but it seemed to make little sense anymore - because the target was very obvious.

Ahead was a large clearing, scattered shells all over the place, and even from the direction they were attracted and dragged, it could be seen that there were at least six intersecting spiritual veins, and at each end of those spiritual veins was a strangely shaped black cylinder, and directly above the clearing there was a large hole that could see the sky.

"As I wished, you did find this place," a man in black clothes, black pants and black hat turned his back to them in the middle of the field, and slowly turned around: "Let me see!" The strength of the Ranger Guild, Shushan, and the third new agency room elite. ”

"The Fourteenth Adjuster to which the Sleeping Dragon belongs, [Strength], 'Wolf of the Full Moon' Zhang Hai, challenge here!"
