Chapter 0149: Cold Flame Cave [39 Explosions]
Liang Hong already knew about Xiao Yu'er, so he didn't blame Ren Yingying, but just comforted her and asked her not to think about it, and then asked her about the current situation in the valley.
According to Ren Yingying, there are still about 1,000 people left, and they are all living on hunting at present, and they are really miserable here. As for why they haven't walked out of the mountains for so long, it is because they are worried that the official army is still rounding them up, so they choose to hide for the time being, wanting to wait for a while longer, and wait until the wind has passed, and then carry out a strategic shift.
"The last battle was so tragic that we were almost wiped out, so everyone was a little scared," Ren Yingying sighed as she spoke, obviously feeling apprehensive about the final battle.
Liang Hong did not expect that the final night attack of the official army would leave such a big psychological shadow on them, which also shows the fierceness and tragedy of the battle at that time.
However, now that Liang Hong is here, he must not let everyone continue to lie like this, he wants to lead everyone out, regain his prestige, and make a comeback!
Thinking so in his heart, Liang Hong looked at Ren Yingying's slightly haggard face, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and turned his head to look at the night outside, thinking that the sky should be almost bright, so he asked Ren Yingying to sleep for a while.
Ren Yingying shook her head, did not move, and after a while, she looked at Liang Hongdao and said, "Your martial arts seem to have improved a lot?" Is the practice you are practicing now still the Sun and Moon Divine Skill? ”
"No, I'm cultivating the Northern Spiritual Skill," Liang Hong said.
"Northern Spiritual Skill?" Ren Yingying looked at Liang Hong in disbelief, full of consternation.
"Hehe, okay, this matter is also a long story, in short, I was blessed by misfortune, and I inadvertently learned the Northern Spiritual Skill, which can be regarded as a little comfort to me," Liang Hong looked at Ren Yingying and said, "Wait for the meeting to start tomorrow." I'm going to discuss it with you, first get out of here, find a place to settle down, do you have any good suggestions? ”
"Why get out of here?" Hear this. Ren Yingying frowned unconsciously and said, "Isn't it very good here?" This is located in the deep mountains, and it is difficult for officers and soldiers to find this place, so we can stay here for a little longer, and even set this place as a secret base camp, in this case. Isn't it a lot safer? Of course, we are very short of supplies now, but that's not a problem, just go directly to the villages outside the mountains to buy some, if it's really inconvenient to buy, it's okay to rob, in short, now we have a limited number of people, just get some food, you can last a lot of time. ”
Ren Yingying's words reminded Liang Hong, and then Liang Hong nodded. After a deep sigh, he said, "This is also an idea, we can use this as a base and radiate outward." However, I'm not very familiar with the terrain for the time being, so I'm going to check out the surroundings tomorrow. ”
"Well, you can go and check the terrain, but there is a place deep in this valley that you must not go," Ren Yingying said.
"What place? Why can't you go? Liang Hong asked suspiciously.
"Cold Flame Cave," Ren Yingying nodded, "Do you know why this valley is called Cold Flame Valley?" ”
"Why?" Liang Hong asked with some curiosity.
"It's because there's a hole at the bottom of this Cold Flame Valley. The entrance of the cave burns with a blue and transparent flame all the year round, and it is cold to look at, but in fact it is extremely hot, and water cannot extinguish it. As soon as humans and animals come into contact with the flames, they will be burned to ashes, and even if they get closer, they will be dizzy and poisoned. So, that cold flame cave. It was a very dangerous place, and we seldom went near it, and recently the road leading to it was blocked with stones, so that people could not pass it casually. Ren Yingying said.
Hearing this, Liang Hong was unconsciously full of curiosity, wondering what kind of place the Cold Flame Pool was, and why there was such a strange flame.
Liang Hong thought about it in his heart, and then combined with some modern scientific knowledge stored in his mind, he quickly thought of a thing. He remembered that this kind of flame was actually very common in modern society, and if Ren Yingying's description was correct, it was very similar to methane. And if there is methane, then what else will be in this cold flame cave? Coal? Petroleum?
When Liang Hong thought of this, he couldn't wait in his heart, and couldn't help grabbing Ren Yingying's hand and said, "Go, you can take me to the Cold Flame Cave now!" ”
Ren Yingying didn't expect him to be so curious about the flame, and he didn't feel a little hesitant at the moment, but he couldn't resist Liang Hong's repeated requests, so he finally had to pick a lamp and take him to the depths of the valley.
Liang Hong followed Ren Yingying as he walked, observing the terrain and rocks in the valley, the more he looked, the more frightened he became, he could basically conclude now that this Cold Flame Valley was actually located above a huge mineral vein, and even, a long, long time ago, a very huge forest fire broke out here, and the flames burned the rocks to purple black.
In this way, there are indeed mineral deposits in the Cold Flame Cave, and I really don't know what it is.
However, whatever it is, this is a new opportunity for Liang Hong. Hehe, if he has coal or oil, although he can't put these things into industrial manufacturing and production, he can at least solve a lot of problems in life, and even use it to create more powerful battlefield killers.
Therefore, Liang Hong is very excited now and can't wait to find out.
Soon they came to a narrow passage with high mountain cliffs on both sides, and only a crack about a foot wide in the middle, and the middle part of the gap was blocked by a pile of stones.
Because of the existence of these stones, Liang Hong had to pull Ren Yingying to climb up with great difficulty, and then jumped off the stones, and finally came to the location of the Cold Flame Cave.
Sure enough, when he saw the cold flame cave clearly, Liang Hong recognized at a glance that it was methane gas burning, and looking at the caliber of the cold flame cave, it was about a zhang, so the flame was extremely huge, whirring and burning, like a blue flame monster, and when people approached the flame, they could indeed smell a slight smell, and after a while, they were dizzy and dizzy, and there were some signs of poisoning, which showed that the gas released from the cave contained a certain amount of poisonous gas. Of course, it could also be carbon monoxide produced by the incomplete combustion of methane, which is a well-known suicide thing that can make people die without realizing it.
At that moment, Liang Hong stood at the foot of the rock wall from afar, looking at the flame, wondering how to extinguish the flame, and then go down to mine the deposits, and after a while, he suddenly felt something, and said Why do I have to extinguish this flame? This flame will let it continue to burn, if I really want to mine something underground, of course, I will dig another mine, how can I go directly from here? This place, although it may lead directly to the top of the mine, but the gas in it is poisonous, and if people go down from here, it is tantamount to death.
After thinking about this, Liang Hong knew what to expect, and then walked back with Ren Yingying.
Ren Yingying didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't ask much, just after the two came out, the sky was also bright, so the two walked directly to a temporary wooden shed in the middle of the valley, where was the Juyi Hall.
The sky is faint, the birdsong mountain is more secluded, and the fog is thick, but the Juyi Hall is already full of people. Obviously, Wang Shouren's people almost didn't sleep much later, so they arrived early.
Liang Hong entered the shed, looked at everyone, smiled slightly, and then said: "Very good, the big guys have arrived, but before getting down to business, I believe the big guys must be more concerned about my hair." ”
Liang Hong's words made everyone laugh, and that situation was obviously the voice of his heart.
"Since that's the case, then I'll briefly tell the big guys," Liang Hong frowned as he spoke, and then simply told everyone about him and Bai Xiu'er, and after everyone heard it, they were all a little shocked, they didn't expect Bai Xiu'er to be dead.
"Okay, you don't have to be too sad, Xiu'er has already gone, and she died a miserable death, but this revenge, I will revenge her, you don't have to worry about it, I already know who the enemy is, and I will definitely settle accounts with him later," Liang Hong said this, paused and said: "Next, let's study the current situation." Obviously, our situation is very bad now, we have no support for food and drink, and we are scarce in manpower, so we must find a way to solve the current problem as soon as possible. I know that the big guy has not dared to go out of the mountains before, just for fear of being rounded up by officers and soldiers again, so I will tell you a news now, that is, the officers and soldiers of Ulzhou City have actually retreated, and now they have only set up some passes and outposts in the Sanshan Pavilion, so even if we go back and recapture the Sanshan Pavilion now, it will be no problem, however, I am not ready to do this for the time being, I am ready to use this as a base first, and solve our survival problem first. My initial idea was to send some brothers in disguise and go out to buy some provisions. ”
"Hahaha, it's not a hero's doing!"
As a result, just after Liang Hong's words fell, he didn't want a deep voice to suddenly sound outside the shed, and then when everyone turned their heads to look, they found that Ren Wuxing was walking towards Xiang Wentian.
"Senior Ren," seeing that I could do it, Liang Hong hurriedly bowed his hand, and Ren Yingying and the others naturally stepped forward to salute one by one.
"Well, well," Ren Wuxing looked at the crowd and nodded with satisfaction, but then walked to the top and squinted at the crowd, "According to me, you are nested in this ravine, and it is really not a big deal." I don't think it's better to do this, you come with me, go to Yunnan together, help me kill the undefeated guy in the East, and regain the position of the sect leader, in that case, aren't you all settled? When the time comes, you can naturally join my teaching and be promoted to important positions, what do you think of the old man's proposal? (To be continued.) )
