Chapter 356: Making a stone cocoon for entering the abyss
The warm light of the lampstone cast Zheng Qiu's shadow onto the rock, twisting into a strange shape.
The little green worm twisted its head and looked around, most of its body hiding in the collar.
At this time, it was the first time it came to such a dark and small place, and it was inevitably a little frightened.
After turning a few corners, the light at the entrance had completely disappeared, and Zheng Qiu took out another lampstone from his bag to illuminate the dark space farther away.
He still held the flame in his palm, and the flame was not used to illuminate, but to detect the air around him.
This is because there is sometimes a miasma in the ground, and sometimes there is a thin air.
Therefore, when the treasure hunting team is mining, they must light torches or candles to enter and warn themselves through the reaction of the flames.
As time passed, the front gradually opened up, but the rock above still did not rise, and Zheng Qiu still had to walk half-squatting.
Suddenly, the space in front of him grew larger and higher, and the ground disappeared in the light of the lampstone, leaving only darkness in its reach.
He cautiously approached and noticed a large crack in the ground.
The crack was bottomless, and the sides were as flat and vertical as walls, and the light of the lampstone was completely engulfed when it was put into it.
Zheng Qiu licked his lips, this crack was like a giant beast in the wilderness, giving people a feeling of being devoured anytime and anywhere.
He asked the little green worm: "Little green worm, what is the concentration of the power of heaven and earth here, and is it even stronger below?"
The little green worm floated to the edge of the crack, poked its head into it, and replied after a while: "Boss, the power of heaven and earth below is stronger......!
It floated back to Zheng Qiu's body and wrapped it tightly around his shoulder: "I'm a little scared, it's so dark!"
Zheng Qiu patted its head to soothe it, then grabbed a stone and threw it into the crack with all his might.
Seeing the stones fall into the darkness and disappear, the sound of bumping and hitting the ground did not come for a long time.
He held his chin in thought for a moment, and then controlled the flame in his palm to drift into the rift and slowly sank.
The flame burned silently, farther and farther away, just as it had only one point of light left.
As if blown by the wind, the flames began to shake violently, and then went out without a trace.
"This ......" Seeing the flames suddenly extinguished from a distance, Zheng Qiu didn't dare to go down.
There is either miasma or poisonous gas under the crack, and going down by yourself is like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and there is no return.
He put down the lampstone and sat cross-legged on the ground to figure out what to do.
"It's too far from the entrance to stir up the air and bring in the air from outside.
I can't hold my breath and can't enter areas covered by miasma or poisonous gas.
So what to do?"
He held his chin in thought, and the lampstone cast a shadow onto the nearby stone wall, mingling with the raised outline of the rock.
Bang, Zheng Qiu suddenly slapped his palms, and the sound frightened the little green insect into the collar.
After a while it poked its head out, looked left and right, and finally looked at the boss.
"Hey, boss, why are you so happy?"
Zheng Qiu replied with a smile, "I know how to go down." ”
He urged his qi to run in the meridians, and performed the "Twenty-Eight Methods of Stone Obedience", prying off one rock after another from the stone wall.
Then make various gestures, like kneading dough, and slowly change the shape of the rock.
At the same time, he explained to the little green worm: "I can't fly with a light because I don't have the ability to lift heavy objects because of my strength, but Shi obedient exercises can!"
I can control the rock and let it fly on its own. ”
The little green worm asked puzzledly: "Boss, when you were sitting just now, didn't you mutter about the poisonous gas below, what do you do with the poisonous gas?"
"That's what I'm going to do now, voila!"
I saw Zheng Qiu pinching the rocks into stone slabs and controlling them to splice each other to form an oval-shaped cocoon.
In order to ensure that enough air can be stored inside, the cocoon is so large that it is almost like a small house, filling the space in the cave.
Then he squatted in front of the stone cocoon, carefully inspected the joints of each stone slab, and used the stone obedience technique to completely seal the gap.
After the inspection, he also stood up and closed the stone cocoon to make sure that there was enough space.
The little green worm understood the boss's method, and it turned out that the boss wanted to take advantage of this stone cocoon and fly down from the crack.
Then a question appeared in its little head: "Boss, you wrap yourself in a stone, don't you see nothing!"
That's right, Zheng Qiu slapped his head suddenly, fortunately the little green worm reminded him, otherwise he really forgot about it. So what to do?
Staring at the stone cocoon and thinking for a long time, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to the little green worm: "Little green worm, let's climb outside to find fine sand first." ”
After speaking, Zheng Qiu took the little green worm out of the narrow crack and came to the ground.
He ran to the bottom of the valley, picked up the fine sand with the hem of his coat, and carefully picked out the gravel from the sand.
Then he took out the seeds of Fuguilan and ripened them, and let the little green worm ignite them, and the flames suddenly rose up to the size of a carriage wheel.
He controls the flame to form the shape of a pot, and then throws the fine sand into it little by little, and the sand turns red and brightens under the scorching heat of the flame, slowly melting.
The molten liquid dripped downwards and flowed onto the stone slab that Zheng Qiu had already prepared.
The slate is also treated with the Stone Obedient Exercise, the surface is smooth and flat, and the molten liquid spreads along the slate to become a large red round cake.
Waiting for the round cake to cool, Zheng Qiu carefully scooped it up, raised his finger and tapped it.
Knock, knock, the sound is extremely crisp.
It's a transparent piece of glass, slightly yellowed, with some small bubbles in it, but it's not a problem to see through it.
The little green insect floated up, looking left and right at Zheng Qiu through the glass piece.
He exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, it's amazing, it turns out that sand can be burned into such a shiny transparent thing! Boss, is this a treasure?"
Zheng Qiu scratched the chin of the little green worm and said with a smile: "This is not a treasure.
This shiny thing is called glass, and it can be used to make windows, or it can be used to make bottles or cups.
There is a shop specializing in glass objects in the lonely city of the Great Wilderness, and I peeked at their production process to know that they can use sand to make glass.
I put this piece of glass on the stone cocoon, and I can see the outside scene in the stone cocoon. ”
With that, Zheng Qiu took the little green worm into the crack again, and went underground along the narrow cave.
Finding the stone cocoon, he began to perform the "Twenty-Eight Methods of Stone Obedience", opening a circular window on the surface of the stone cocoon, and then placing the glass pieces in it.
Then he checked the connection between the glass sheet and the stone slab again to make sure that it was perfectly fitted.
Finally, Zheng Qiu also inlaid two lamp stones into the stone cocoon for lighting.
After using the stone obedient technique to remove the rocks at the edge of the gap and make the gap bigger, he took the little green worm to hide in the stone cocoon and completely sealed the door of the stone cocoon.
