"You are all the best among the monks, and you have participated in the ice exhibition, so you must know some rules." Zhao Yang stood in front of ten people, his eyes swept over these young faces, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, there are talented people in the country, and the waves died on the beach.
Getting back to business, he took out ten jade slips from his storage ring, sent them to everyone, and then said, "Above is a map of the Ice Mountains, among which there are mines that are being mined or abandoned, and they are recorded with the markers. ”
Ten people took the jade slip and divided their spiritual power to probe into it, and the various mountain ranges on it were clearly oriented, and the mine cave was clearly marked with symbols.
"Inspector Zhao." Someone didn't know what he meant and asked, "Does this require us to avoid the proven mine and find another place to mine the ore?" ”
"It's great to find other veins." Zhao Yang smiled slightly, "But the mine cave marked above is to facilitate you to go to mining, after all, compared to the difficulty of mining ice condensate, three months is not much." ”
"This is to be wronged, there is definitely a conspiracy." Jing Chen said in his heart.
The Ice Solid Stone blocks the spiritual power, and the difficulty of exploration can be imagined, anyway, he doesn't believe that the organizer will be so kind and give up the proven caves.
The scene understands that people are not nothing.
Someone pondered for a moment and asked again, "Inspector Zhao, if you go to the mines on the map to mine, there should be some kind of restriction." ”
Zhao Yang's smile was much more real at this time, and the old god said freely, "Yes, if you enter the marked mine, the rough stone mined needs to be handed over to thirty percent." ”
Oh, I'll go, and my feelings say that the good three months are for people to be miners, and they are all monk miners, which is definitely worth the money compared to ordinary people. Jing Chen's eyes fell on the entrance of the mountain range not far away, and he complained again in his heart.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Yang's words came out, everyone else was silent.
It's a little uncomfortable to hand over the Sancheng rough stone, but then again, no one else has to hold a knife on your neck and have to ask you to go to the marked mine.
Of course, if you don't go, you will wander in the mountains for three months, and it is estimated that the harvest will not be as good as the remaining seventy percent.
Several people's eyes flashed slightly, and they had a plan in their hearts.
"Besides, I'm here to remind you of one thing." Zhao Yang's face was solemn, and he said, "The set time limit is three months, please be sure to abide by it, and return to ...... before that."
"Come on, Uncle Ming has been petrified by blue!" A shout interrupted everyone's thoughts.
The atmosphere at the entrance was stagnant, and almost everyone put down their work and walked in the direction of the source of the sound, even Zhao Yang was no exception.
"Wait a minute." As if thinking of something, Zhao Yang sighed, "Forget it, come with me." ”
"There seems to be a secret in this mining area." Jing Chen followed closely behind, and said to the wind in his heart.
"The fluctuation of the boundary energy inside is very high, and the three-month limit should be related to this."
"Boundary energy?" Jing Chen paused.
The fluttering voice of the Wind Sacrifice came again, "The small world has its own barrier, and what is filled between the barriers is the boundary energy. ”
To put it simply, put two eggs in water, the eggshell is the small world barrier, and the water is the boundary energy.
"But this is the Rune Realm!" Jing Chen was surprised.
Moreover, how could something like boundary energy, which sounds very lofty, be in a state of being free.
"That's what I'm weird about." "You'll have to go in and have a look." ”
In the center surrounded by everyone, the uncle called Uncle Ming was carried outside the entrance.
Zhao Yang walked over quickly, the miners made a way, and the ten monks also took advantage of it and entered it.
The middle-aged man's eyes were gloomy and full of death, his body was covered with blue ice crystal-like lumps, and his skin was petrified and cracked, like a stone man whose epidermis had fallen off.
"Inspector Zhao." Another person in charge of the mine said respectfully.
"Can you give him the pill?" Zhao Yang said.
"Yes." The person in charge said, "But the blue stone has penetrated deep into the meridians, and I'm afraid I won't live for a year." ”
Zhao Yang nodded, his expression not relaxed, and turned to look at the co-worker next to Uncle Ming, "How many days has he been inside?" ”
Under the coercion of the Xuan-level talisman master, the black-faced man didn't dare to lie, and shrank in a trembling voice, "One, January." ”
In fact, they all stayed for a month until there was something unusual about them.
Zhao Yang's face sank, and he looked at the people around him and scolded, "Ordinary people are not allowed to be in the mining area for more than half a month, how do you do things!" ”
The person in charge is really aggrieved in his heart, there are more than 10,000 miners in the Ningbing Mountain Range, and it is a fantasy to ask everyone to take care of the past, every time the time to count the number of people, there will always be fish that slip through the net.
There is no way, most of the people who come to work in the mining area are poor people, and they have a half-month break and five days off, for them these five days of work are wasted, and the remuneration is calculated according to the final mining volume.
It is conceivable that in order to generate benefits during those five days of rest, there will always be people who take risks.
"The lessons of the monitoring are." The person in charge gritted his teeth, "I'll take someone down for treatment first, and then turn around and ask Steward Xu for guilt." ”
Zhao Yang waved his hand, agreeing with his approach.
After Uncle Ming was carried away, the mining area was restored, and the team transporting the ore was still in order.
The ten people went their separate ways, and they had their own guesses about the situation just now.
Gu Yihai saw that no one else spoke, thought for a while and asked, "Supervisor Zhao, the three-month time limit you said is ...... If we don't come back in time, will we be like that person? ”
The rest of the people looked up.
Zhao Yang nodded, he didn't hide it, this was originally what he wanted to mention, but he was interrupted by an accident, "Yes, that kind of situation we call blue petrification." ”
"The cause is not yet clear, ordinary people stay in it for half a month, and people with poor resistance will have this symptom. If you are monks, you will be better, but three months will be about the same. His gaze swept over the thoughtful crowd, and Zhao Yang chuckled, "If someone wants to quit, please be early, and the reward will be discounted into fifty square meters of medium-grade ice condensation." ”
Medium quality fifty square? Jing Chen made a small calculation in his heart, and his mouth was pouting, it was not worth it.
There were many others who thought the same way as him, and in the end, none of them withdrew.
After bidding farewell to Zhao Yang and entering the Ice Condensing Mountain Range, Jing Chen obviously noticed the difference in the energy of heaven and earth inside.
If you divide the cultivation land by the cultivation speed, it can obviously only be regarded as the lowest level here.
In other words, the surrounding energy is stagnant, and it is not suitable for cultivation.
Gu Yihai didn't follow after entering the mountain range, Jing Chen was also happy, he stayed with Suzaku some time ago, and he didn't have time to enter the Duobao Pagoda, but now he has a chance.
Qianzhou region, knife continent.
Like the sword pool in Sword Continent, there is a sea of swords in Sword Continent.
No one knew where the knives inside came from, and by the time some monks realized the existence of the Dao Continent, there were already more than 10,000 long knives in the Sea of Knives.
In the center of Dao Zhou, the unique sword aura makes ordinary people around the Dao Sea dare not approach, but it has become a pilgrimage place for sword cultivators - it is rumored that the sword qi inside can comprehend the sword intent when absorbed to a certain extent.
However, what attracts the sword cultivators the most is naturally not the ethereal knife intent, but the fact that someone who is destined to find a good knife in it that will accompany them for a lifetime.
The swamp was full of swords, and the slightly hot water vapor in the air turned into a white mist to obscure the vision.
"Can't get any closer." The tall man stopped a small group of three people behind, "I'm about to enter the range of the Douglas Frog." ”
The three of them stopped abruptly and took out their weapons in their hands to guard against them.
In the moorland was a pool of turquoise stagnant water, calm and unwavering, and there was no danger in sight for the time being.
The tall man took a freshly dead rabbit from the storage ring and threw it not far in front of him, landing right on the swamp.
The rabbit corpse drew an arc in mid-air, and before it touched the green floats on the surface of the pool, the sound of "bang" water splashed, and the five-meter-long scarlet tongue curled, and the rabbit disappeared into the frog's mouth.
"So, that's the Devil Frog?" The team was shocked.
At a glance just now, they had realized that the creatures in the swamp were worthy of the sword sea, and one mouth alone was enough to swallow them all.
The tall man also wiped a cold sweat, and took a few steps forward to mark a shallow trace on the ground with a branch, "Hurry up and collect, after a long time, the animal repellent powder on our body will fail, and it will be troublesome......"
Before he could finish his words, he saw a huge wave in the swamp, most of the muddy water splashed on the shore, and the four of them were nervously tense, and they jumped back in unison.
A young man suddenly appeared above the swamp, and the demon frog lurking in the muddy water sensed it, and a pair of eyes showed out of the pool, waiting for a blow.
In an instant, the demon frog moved, half of its body jumped out of the pool, its scarlet tongue spit out, and the liquid stuck to the front end of the youth.
The long knife suddenly came out of its sheath, and the timing of the figure in mid-air was extremely clever, and the foot was dotted on the top of the head of the demon frog, and the seemingly insignificant kick forced the demon beast back into the quagmire, and the mud splashed again.
The people on the shore were already stunned.
The long knife did not stop, and with the force of the fall, it plunged straight into the head of the demon frog.
"Ahh A pitch-shifting frog chirp heralded the end of the battle, and a ball of light rose from the swamp.
"It's a sword qi spirit!" As soon as the tall man finished speaking, he saw the eyes of the young man with the knife sweeping over, and hurriedly said, "This friend, we are just passing by, so let's leave." ”
Huo Zhixing indifferently retracted his gaze, the sword spirit hung in his palm, and he pressed the long knife in his hand with his backhand, and the sword spirit disappeared in a moment.
"It's not enough." He looked into the foggy distance of the sea of swords, lowered his head and stroked the blade of the sword, "Wait for me, Zhiyou." ”
It's still a swamp, compared to the sea of knives, the painting style here is a little fresh.
On the eighteenth day of Jing Chen's entry into the Ice Mountains, he had harvested two high-quality Ice Stones as of today.
Xu is affected by the so-called boundary energy, and the surface of the shrubs and branches in the mountains is covered with a layer of petrified blue crystals, and it is not easy to make a fire, so Jing Chen has eaten dry food for more than half a month.
Although it was clear that he could solve the problem of hunger by relying on cultivation, someone said that he was willing.
After eating clean and wiping his mouth, Jing Chen walked around the viscous lake.
There is no shortage of ice condensation rough stones on the shore, but the quality is very low, and there are medium quality ones, but they are very small, as for the high quality, hehe.
However, Jing Chen suspected that this was where a vein was located, so he tirelessly walked around the lake for two days, trying to find a breakthrough.
It can be said that there has been very little harvest in the past half a month.
In the established plan, if a person still can't find a good mining vein after exploring by himself in the next time, then he will enter the marked mine in another month, and he will have to admit it if he pays thirty percent.
