Chapter 43: The Strange Stone Wall
About half an hour later, Zhang Huan, Li Yuanru, and Gao Ran arrived here with 20 members of the Scarlet Feather, and looking at their appearance, it seemed that they had not recovered from the shock.
"Childe, are we going to get rich?" Li Yuanru leaned over to Sang Nan with a shy face and asked with a smile.
Sang Nan was almost choked by his words, and squinted at him angrily, thinking that this thing was simply the same virtue as Gongye Han, and then told them his thoughts about quenching.
"If that's the case, I suggest that all the Scarlet Feathers participate in training first to improve their strength!" Li Yuanru thought for a moment and said: "Now most of the small group of horse thieves on the Northern Demon Plain have been absorbed by us, and there are more than 3,000 people who are being trained, but there are only more than 500 people who can really fight tough battles. If you want them to form combat effectiveness in the short term, you have to break up the current blood-colored feathers, so that the strength and weakness are evenly balanced, and only then can an effective overall combat power be formed! ”
"I also think Brother Li's method is good!" Gao Ran saw that Sang Nan didn't answer immediately, and hurriedly added: "If the strength of the Fuwei and Li Ying goes further, at least the combat effectiveness of the entire team can be maintained at a high level, and these recruits can also grow up quickly!" ”
Sang Nan looked at the expressions of the two and nodded slightly, but turned his head and asked Zhang Huan, "What do you think?" ”
Zhang Huan was a little stunned when he heard Sang Nan suddenly ask him, and after thinking about it, he said: "I don't understand the matter of marching and fighting, but I think that Dark Feather's people should also participate in training!" If we have a strong group of Assassins, it will be a powerful deterrent to the enemy! ”
After listening to the thoughts of several people, Sang Nan smiled lightly and said: "What you said is very reasonable, but the intelligence part can't be relaxed for the time being, it's better to wait until the blood feather quenching body is completed, and then let the people of the dark feather participate!" And we will have more and more actions in the future, so the scale of Darkfeather will also expand, you can start looking for 100 agile, clever and reliable candidates now, enrich the Darkfeather team, you can let them perform some simple tasks first, and slowly cultivate! ”
Chirping! Chirping! A few people were chatting lively, and suddenly there was a scream of a silver mink outside. Sang Nan and the others walked out of the camp quickly. Seeing Mei Jingfeng, Sosa and others with serious expressions, looking at the depths of the forest, Sang Nan looked intently, and was also surprised, only to see those giant mushrooms crawling with fiery red beetles.
These red beetles are the size of a baby's fist, and the shape is somewhat like ladybugs, and the fiery red back beetles disappear in the dark forest as the beetles move, like red starlight, and are magnificent.
"Born in the fire of the earth, he likes to eat gold and stones, his back armor is like a star, and his color is like fire." Sang Nan suddenly remembered a sentence in the travelogue, his expression suddenly froze, and he said, "Starfire beetle? ”
Everyone knew that he had always been knowledgeable, and they didn't interject, they all listened attentively, and Sang Nan read the book and quietly introduced the origin of the Starfire Beetle.
"Although the Starfire Beetle was born from the flames, it has a gentle temperament. They like to eat gold and stone, but they can only absorb the part of the energy contained in it, and the other components will be excreted by them, and they are natural ore purifiers. ”
"Is their feces all metal?" Gongye Han and Runye are both greedy.
"Just look at it?" After Sang Nan finished speaking, he took a burning firewood and walked slowly towards those giant mushrooms. The nearby Starfire beetles noticed Sang Nan's approach, and seemed to be frightened, their wings buzzing, and they all hid in the mushroom folds, only their heads showing their heads and looking at him secretly. In fact, Sang Nan said it easily, but he was very nervous in his heart, these beetles can even eat gold and stones, let alone their own flesh and blood?
"Don't hurt those mushrooms!" Mei Dongen suddenly came to Sang Nan's side and reminded in a soft tone.
There was a tranquil aura on her body at this time, which not only made Sang Nan's state of mind relax a lot, but even those beetles seemed to be affected and gradually quieted down. Sang Nan nodded, walked under the mushroom, and looked carefully by the firelight, and sure enough, he saw a thick layer on the ground, like grains the size of rice grains. He picked up a few of them, pinched them, and found that the particles were hard, like some kind of metal.
"There are thousands of beetles here, I don't know how many years they have existed and reproduced......" Sang Nanqiang pressed the excitement in his heart, looked at Mei Dongen and smiled, walked back to Gong Yehan, stretched out his hand and asked, "Is this metal?" ”
……
After two hours, everyone was divided into two groups: one group continued to move forward in search of water, and one group stayed where it was, collecting beetle droppings!
According to Gongye Han and Runye's judgment, these insect feces have different compositions, some metallic and some stony, and it is difficult for him to distinguish them clearly for a while, so he can only collect as many as possible and then classify them.
Sang Nan took Mei Jingfeng, Zhang Huan, Li Yuanru, Sosa and Mei Dongen, as well as 10 members of the Li Battalion to find water. Because the vision in the forest is extremely dim, everyone can only barely use makeshift torches to illuminate, but fortunately, the silver sable is vigilant by nature, and it runs in front to find the way to warn, and everyone is not too worried about encountering a sneak attack by unknown creatures, so the speed of travel is very fast. About half an hour later, everyone suddenly felt that their eyes suddenly lit up, and they had already walked out of this mushroom forest.
Not far away is a huge towering stone wall covered with moss and green vines. A clear stream splashed down from the top of the stone wall like broken jade, and then rejoined and rushed away into the distance.
With a burst of joyful cheers, Medon took the lead and ran over, and the silver sable followed her closely with her fleshy body, making everyone behind her laugh.
Walked more than 200 meters along the stream, turned over several huge rocks, a calm and waveless turquoise pool suddenly appeared in front of you, the pond is surrounded by lush forests and grasses, the water vapor is hazy, everyone can't help but lift their spirits! When I came to the edge of the pool, I saw that the water of the pool was clear, and the light and shadow in the water were swaying and shining. The young and beautiful Mei Dongen stood by the stream, leaned out his wrist and bare hands, scooped the water and brushed his face, for a while, Yiren was like jade, the water was smoky, and there was a different style of ethereal dust!
The stream goes to the lower stream, it is a valley up to 100 meters deep, winding and extending into the distance, the cliffs are facing each other, the cliffs are also growing vigorous and simple giant trees, in the dim light, the bursts of mist are floating between the peaks, everyone is like being in a fairyland, fascinated, can't help but admire.
However, Sang Nan did not appreciate these things with everyone at this time, he was standing in front of the tall stone wall in a daze!
The stone wall in front of you is tall and flat, smooth as a sharpening, and it is natural. Sang Nan thought it was a little strange - because the stone wall was a little too flat! He stared at it for a while, and found that a stone wall covered with vines seemed to have been carved by hand.
"Is this really inhabited?" Sang Nan couldn't describe his current mood, was he nervous or excited? He took the short sword from the hand of one of the members of the Li Battalion, carefully removed the moss and vines from the surface of the stone wall, and carefully identified it for a long time, making sure that this trace should be part of some ancient pattern.
Mei Jingfeng and the others who turned around saw that Sang Nan found the strangeness of the stone wall, and began to help clean it up, this stone wall is almost more than 50 meters high and more than 100 meters wide, and everyone can only clean up to a position 3 meters high, so they can't see what the pattern above the stone wall is, but Sang Nan still found some clues - on this stone wall, there are at least sixteen places where the ancient patterns are also carved, and there are other lines carved criss-cross around these patterns, which are sixteen huge stone pillars.
Everyone was stunned by this discovery!
