Volume 3 The Gate of Time and Space Chapter 81, The Cave Green Elf Clan
Unable to find Wulian, Miao Xiaodao wanted to inform Astia of this matter and let them worry about it, but Lingling shook his head and asked Miao Xiaodao to go to Yier and find Ye Ya.
The four of them put the map of Salena Island on the table and studied it carefully.
The location of the Asura Hell is the peak of Ponquilgo, which is about 7,400 meters above sea level.
Poequirgo Peak, the third highest peak in the Salena Mountains, is not far from the highest peak, Astya Peak, if you look at it from a straight distance, that location, from the Astya Temple, the straight-line distance is no more than twenty miles, such a short distance, no one believes that the Astya Temple cannot be found.
"If it has something to do with the temple, then it's a big game......" Ye Ya circled an area on the map and muttered.
"Hmph...... When the captain came back, he was a little distracted, there must be something hidden from us in the temple!" Miao Xiaodao slapped the table, "These guys with human faces and beast hearts!"
"It's too early to tell, I'm just guessing. Ye Ya put down his pen, "As the saying goes, it's dark under the lamp, maybe the temple really didn't find it?"
Luo Sheng had always had no idea, Ling Ling looked at Miao Xiaodao, and obviously agreed with Ye Ya's words.
"You guys, it's good anywhere, it's just too simple...... Miao Xiaodao sighed, there is a captain, these problems have never been considered by them.
"Lian is not here...... What now?" asked Lingling.
"Look carefully, there are so many people, there will definitely be clues!" Ye Ya pointed to the circle on the map.
"Do you want to find more people?" Miao Xiaodao asked, this range is only the size of a palm on the map, but in fact, it is a hundred miles long and wide, and the situation on the mountain is complicated, there is a range of five or six hundred miles that need to be searched.
"No, it's not appropriate to make a noise!" Ye Ya objected, "You also have to tell your friend to keep quiet." ”
Pazzy was stupefied, and I'll talk to him later. Miao Xiaodao replied, "Xiaoya, it seems that you are also a little suspicious?"
"Hmm......" Ye Ya nodded, "I'll go with you." ”
"Okay, let's go!" Miao Xiaodao stood up.
Not long after Min Zhen was injured, it was not suitable for him to move, and Ye Ya didn't want Min Zhen to do reconnaissance, but he used the earth magic elves to conduct a carpet search along the foothills of the mountain.
The results of the search made Ye Ya's mood heavier and heavier, in the Salena Mountains surrounding the peak of Ponquilgo, there were enough six Shura hells!
plus the one discovered by Miao Xiaodao, there are seven Shura hells, and the dead people, conservatively estimated, are at least 500,000!
In the southwest of the mountain range, Ye Ya found several mountain streams, and the shade below was deep, and there were a large number of wind mutant activities of the green elves, clanging in the ground, and the mountain streams were still expanding.
Miao Xiaodao is in charge of the northeast part, in the mountains and forests, also found two Shura hells, and, also found a cave that leads directly to the center of the mountain range, Miao Xiaodao entered and explored for several miles, except for the cave green elves who buried their heads in the cave, they did not see other abnormalities, and they came out for five days, and they were very close to the agreed time, and hurriedly returned to the city.
Paxi had been waiting anxiously for three days in the courtyard where Luo Sheng was recuperating from his injuries, and finally waited for Miao Xiaodao and Ye Ya to come back, he analyzed the severed hand that Miao Xiaodao brought back, and came to a surprising conclusion.
"You mean to say that someone is cultivating a large number of zombies in the Salena Mountains?" Ye Ya asked with some uncertainty, if zombies were cultivated, why would there be nine special places for throwing corpses?
"It must be so, because Tabio cells only grow in a large number of zombie carrion-like creatures," Paxi explained, "What does it mean that the knife has brought back a very low level of infection, but there are still a lot of Tabio cells on it?"
"Explain that this hand has been in a large number of zombies!" Miao Xiaodao immediately understood what Paxi wanted to say.
"Yes, that's right, no matter whether the owner of this hand failed in the process of transforming into zombies, or as food for the zombie group, in short, there must be a large number of zombies in the mountain!" Paxi said solemnly: "The number is likely to be beyond your imagination!"
"How many can there be, no matter how big that mountain range is, can it feed twenty or thirty thousand zombies?" Ye Ya and several people have lived in the military, and they know the fatal point of maintaining a large number of combat troops, where the peak of Ponquilgo is located, but the Salena Mountains, there is no arable land there, and it is very problematic to maintain tens of thousands of zombies.
"Then I don't know......" Paxi seemed to point out, Miao Xiaodao, Ye Ya, and Ling Ling glanced at each other, and they all saw the suspicion in each other's eyes.
"Well, okay, we just need to know about this," Miao Xiaodao reminded Paxi again, "You must not spread the word, otherwise you will also guess the consequences." ”
"Well, I've already withdrawn the research station at Beierhe and am ready to return to Flange with the research team. Paxi said.
"Okay, don't worry, we'll leave this matter ......"
"That's tens of thousands of zombie ......"
"Anla, Anla, you can rest assured, without diamonds, I don't dare to work on porcelain. Miao Xiaodao sent Pa Xi to the gate of the courtyard and waved goodbye to him.
"By the way, I almost forgot about that. Pa Xi took out a small hammer from his back waist, the hammer was blunt at one end and pointed at the other, showing a peaceful silver color, which was not conspicuous, plus an ordinary mulberry wood handle, no one could recognize it at all, the material of this small hammer was a hard material that could not be found in this human domain.
Miao Xiaodao hurriedly waved his hand: "Oh, I'm joking with you, how can I really ask for your weapon?"
"Haha, I haven't used it for a long time, and I'm also dusty, so I'll give it to you. "Paxi likes Miao Xiaodao very much, make him a friend, just a hammer, it's worth it.
"Really?" Miao Xiaodao asked.
"If you want it, I'll take it back if you don't want it. Pamat gestured and lifted the hem of his shirt behind his back.
"Yes, yes, why not!" Miao Xiaodao hurriedly snatched the hammer, this material is extremely strong, take it back and recast it, and put it on Luo Sheng's heavy gun, which is another big killing weapon.
Back in the house, Ye Ya lay on the map to write and draw, Miao Xiaodao asked, "How is it?"
"It's hard to say, judging from these points found now, there must be a troop storage place under the peak of Ponquilgo, but I don't know the size. ”
"Go in, kill them all!" Miao Xiaodao slapped the table excitedly, thinking that there were more than 10,000 zombies so close to Jenova City, he was afraid for a while, if these zombies rushed out of the mountain, hundreds of thousands of people, I am afraid that they would have no power to fight back.
"What's the use of killing them all!" Ye Ya said calmly, "I want to see who it is that dares to raise zombies!"
"Hey, I can't move yet!" Luo Sheng lay on the bed, "Aren't you going to look for death!"
Paxi's words, Luo Sheng didn't listen to a word, the existence that can support a large number of zombies is definitely not an ordinary thing, and it is too close to Astia, in case it is really supported by the temple......
"We're not going to destroy the zombies, we're going to find out the mastermind behind this!" Ye Ya walked to the chair next to the bed and sat down, "You can take care of your injuries, don't worry about it!"
"What if you get in danger!"
"I promise, come back as soon as you encounter danger, and wait for the captain to come back to get an idea, okay?"
"That's okay...... You also have to promise that once you encounter a large group of zombies, no matter how low your combat power is, you will immediately retreat!"
"Okay, okay, I promise!"
Lingling is much easier to persuade, and if Luo Qi can't do without you, Lingling will stay in Jenova.
Ye Ya and Miao Xiaodao went out of the north gate, went straight to the cave that Miao Xiaodao found, and searched inward.
The branch roads in the cave are intricate, and in many places, a faint tinkling sound can be heard, which is the cave green elf digging the cave.
"There's actually a market over there!" Ye Ya said lightly.
In a small layer of heavenly terrain, there are piles of ore several people high everywhere, and there are human beings, shuttling through them!
The cave green elves are different from the green elves, they like to live in caves and make a living by mining ores, although they are also affected by demonic energy, but their desireless nature has suppressed their ferocity and formed a special race that can trade with humans.
Both of them were a little suspicious, and pulled a human to ask, and only then did they know these things.
The two of them turned away again and drilled into the cave, those cave green elves who were digging ores, it was not surprising to see Ye Yamiao and the two of them, the merchants who came to them to buy ores were quite many, and the two of them were also considered by them to be professionals who guarded the merchants, so the two of them swaggered around in the cave, and no green elves came up to interrogate.
"It's too complicated!" Ye Ya looked at the circuit diagram drawn in his hand, it was densely woven into a net, the cave green elves didn't understand the human miners' set, but they dug wherever they wanted, so the mines here were simply chaotic.
"No, let's find a miner and ask!" Miao Xiaodao pointed to a cave green elf in the cave, who was dragging a small minecart with a yellow hard hat on his head, and was crouching next to the car, looking down and tinkering with something.
"Hey, master, can you ask for directions?"
The green elf raised his head, his face was sallow, with a lot of wrinkles, obviously not young, he frowned and thought for a long time before he said in a very jerky human language: "Human, you, good." ”
"Great!" This green elf can speak, this communication is not a problem, Miao Xiaodao said excitedly: "Master, you know where this is, can you ......"
Miao Xiaodao rolled his eyes, waiting for the green elf to digest it, and also thought about the wording: "Where can it, lead to a strange place?"
"Strange, place?" the Green Elf threw down the broken pickaxe in his hand and said, "Yes, I, I know!"
"Can you take us there?"
"No...... I'm going to dig. The Green Elf lowered his head and began to tinker with his pickaxe again, wrapping the handle with sticks and tape, but the handle of the pickaxe broke in the middle, and even if it was barely wrapped, it wouldn't last long.
Miao Xiaodao took out a handful of gold coins from the gold coin bag, "Look, your tool is broken, I'll give you money as a reward for leading the way." ”
"Money?" The green elf raised his head, looked at the yellow gold coin in Miao Xiaodao's hand, shook his head and said, "This is what you dug up, I don't want to ......"
“...... This is money, this is money!" Miao Xiaodao wanted to cry without tears, this green elf actually thought that the gold coin was dug out by Miao Xiaodao, Miao Xiaodao turned his head to look at Ye Ya, Ye Ya stepped forward and said, "I'll try it." ”
Ye Ya took out an omelet rice and three pieces of honey bread from the gold coin bag, handed them to the green elf, and said, "Can you take us to the strange place you said? ”
The aroma of the food made the green elf raise his head again, put down the pickaxe in his hand, took the omelet rice and bread, carefully pulled a piece of the bread, stuffed it into his mouth, and tasted it carefully for a while before saying, "But, yes!"
Watching the green elf wrap the omelet rice and bread in the oil paper on the minecart, put them into the minecart, and press them with stones, Miao Xiaodao asked Ye Ya, "How do you know that he wants food and no money?"
"Ah...... Well, when I was in that market earlier, I saw a lot of cars pulling rice, noodles and vegetables......"
"What a black heart!" Miao Xiaodao sighed.
"yes, what a black heart. Ye Ya was helpless.
