Carving is the foundation of Ishimura.

It's not that it can't be passed on, it's just that the ancestors of the Shi family have rules that they can't go out of the mountain if they don't learn art.

"The ancestors are also afraid that the indiscriminate generation will have a bad reputation, so ......" Shi Zhongxiong spread his hands, "If the eldest nephew wants to learn, I'm afraid he won't be able to return home in three or five years." ”

"No problem!" Scar responded, believing that with the talent of the knife, it would definitely not take that long.

"Hehe, sit back and wait for Brother Shi to pee his pants in fright, so that he can see the real genius!haha!"

Shi Zhongxiong naturally couldn't detect Xiao Jiujiu in the depths of Scar's heart, and he didn't know that the big brother Dao he admired was blushing and smiling.

"Okay, if my eldest nephew wants to, I'll take it!" he said.

Everyone was happy.

However, Shi Zhongxiong didn't like the title of master, and under his repeated requests, Dao Cheng still called him uncle.

......

Drilling into the door of the cave that only allowed one person to pass through, walking through the narrow corridor, and entering the hole, the father and son found that there was something else inside.

"Wow, I thought it would be a dim cave," looking at the boxy, empty and bright hall, Dao Cheng exclaimed, "I didn't expect it to be so bright!"

Scar looked up and saw that there were many skylights on the roof of the cave, and it was these skylights that made the cave as bright as day.

"It's not easy! this cave was carved out!" Scar asked.

"Pretty much," Shi Zhongxiong nodded, quite smug, "It turns out that this is indeed a small cave, and through the efforts of my father and me, it has become what it is now. ”

"Awesome!" Dao Cheng looked around, admiring.

"Amazing!" Shi Zhongxiong touched his head and smiled, "Let's go, uncle will find you a room." ”

Around the hall, there were small doors carved out, and behind each small door was a small room, and the knives were counted, exactly ten.

Shi Zhongxiong led the two and introduced them as they walked.

"This is where I cook, see, this hole is used for smoke extraction. ”

"This is where I rest," Shi Zhongxiong walked to the corner, pushed aside a thin stone, revealing a fist-sized hole, he smiled obscenely, "As for this hole, what it does, men understand it, hehe!"

"And what does it do?" Dao Cheng asked curiously, "It's also ventilated?"

"What kind of wind, water!" Scar laughed angrily, "Old Shi, old Shi, you won't die if you're lazy." ”

"Hey, hey. Shi Zhongxiong smiled shamelessly, and even a little proud, "I didn't spend a lot of effort to open this small hole." ”

"Can't you take two more steps?"

"Huh~ When you sleep well, you don't want to get up when you climb, let alone take two more steps. Shi Zhongxiong has a heartbeat.

"I'm convinced!" Scar gave a thumbs up without saying anything.

The next room is a little different, in that it has a skylight that other small rooms don't have, and a transparent ball of light is placed on each side, making the small room a little dazzling.

In the middle of the room was a large bluestone with various tools such as knives and cones scattered on it, and an unfinished stone carving next to it.

"That's right, this is my carving room, so there's plenty of light. Shi Zhongxiong glanced at Dao Cheng, who was eager to try, and said with a smile, "For a long time in the future, this room will be yours." ”

The young man nodded excitedly.

The remaining rooms, Shi Zhongxiong didn't use much, so the father and son each chose one and packed up the stone carvings inside, which can be regarded as a foothold.

At the mention of rest, Dao Cheng actually yawned.

Scar Ishinaka glanced at each other, and Ishinaka nodded secretly and exited the room. Scar took out some daily necessities from the space ring, made the bed, and after Daocheng fell asleep, he also exited the room.

......

In the small room in the far corner, the two of them reunited.

"Well, nothing has changed, right?" Scar asked.

"No!" Shi Zhongxiong shook his head, "No one pays attention to this barren mountain and wilderness at all. Why don't we go and see it now?"

"Now?" Scar was stunned, "...... in broad daylight"

"It's okay!" Shi Zhongxiong said disapprerovingly, "We Shicun people are almost gone, and the people who are left behind also live on the front mountains, don't you look at the back mountains and I'm alone." ”

"That's okay!" Scar didn't hesitate anymore, "Let's go, go early and come back early!"

......

The vein of Xuanshi is not far away, on a low hill nearby.

"In the past, we used to produce a cyan stone here, which was unusually hard and had the effect of defensive magic, which was arguably the best material for building a house. ”

"At that time, the village was lively!"

But as the bluestone dried up little by little, the people slowly ran out. ”

"Leaving only a blank field ......"

Shi Zhongxiong sighed.

Scar thought of his own situation, and also sighed: "The prosperity will eventually come to an end, even if it is as strong as the Cang Magic Empire, there will be a day when it will fall apart, not to mention the small forces in our village." ”

"yes. Shi Zhongxiong nodded, and then smiled, "It's also fortunate that they are all gone, otherwise, where would this Xuanshi vein get you and my brothers!"

"Low-key, low-key. Scar also laughed, "Make a fortune with a muffled voice!"

"Hey, hey. ”

......

After observing the surroundings all the way and making sure that no one was there, the two came to an abandoned mine.

"That's it!"

Picking up the rocks in front of the cave, Scar took the opportunity to pick up some stones and put them in his pocket. Shi Zhongxiong opened the Ten Thousand Flame Pipe, and the two cautiously entered the hole.

Dozens of meters deeper, Scar found that the cave was getting wider and wider, and it was even enough for him to use the Xuanmu stick.

Suddenly, there was a sound in the corner, and the light of the fire was gone, and a rat-like demonic beast the size of a palm was staring at the two of them, its pale green pupils hidden in the light.

"Second-Order Bronze Rat!"

Scar pinched the stone in his hand, thought about it, and still resisted the desire to make a move.

"Let's go. ”

The two of them continued to move forward, the cave became darker and darker, more and more humid, and they encountered more and more copper rats, and a foul smell filled the air.

The ground was littered with the droppings of copper rats. Some of them were very dry, and they clicked when they stepped on them, and the tunnel was empty and long, making the footsteps of the two particularly clear.

Shi Zhongxiong was a little nervous, and he stopped here last time.

Scar squinted his eyes and looked at the copper rat that was getting bigger and bigger, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.

The bronze rat and the dung wolf belong to the same third-order inferior demonic beasts, it stands to reason that the third-order inferior demonic beasts, the upper limit is the third-order, generally only stronger individuals can reach this upper limit, and the rest cannot be reached, that is to say, only the second-order.

But there are very few second-order copper rats in this nest, and a few were found at the edge, most of which were third-order.

"It's not normal for so many third-order nests!"

"Is it ......?"

The firelight illuminated the road ahead, and suddenly, a reflection appeared in front of them, and the two of them looked at it, but it was a transparent yellow crystal.

"Companion Xuanjing!"

Shi Zhongxiong's face was happy, and he was about to pick it up, but Scar grabbed him.

"What's wrong, Brother Dao?"

Scar looked serious and lifted Shi Zhongxiong's arm.

Suddenly, the flames shot deeper.

Shi Zhongxiong looked at it and was stunned.

Directly in front of it, there was a dense light green fluorescence the size of beans, on the ground, on the wall of the cave, and even on the top of the cave, everywhere!

"Knife ...... Big Brother Knife?"

"...... back," Scar whispered.

Shi Zhongxiong nodded slightly, turned around slowly, and moved under his feet.

Click~

The originally faint sound was so loud through the amplification of the tunnel.

"Run!"

The two shouted in unison!

At the same time, he quickened his pace and ran towards the entrance of the cave.

Creak!

A shrill rat chirp sounded, followed by a boom, as if ten thousand wildebeest had galloped out of the depths of the tunnel.

There was no need to look back, hearing such a big movement, the two of them were even more frightened.

Scar took a deep breath and quickly mobilized the Yuan Force in the Purple Mansion to flow to his limbs. The hands were like phantoms, and one after another stones shot out, knocking the copper rats that stopped in the road one by one.

Shi Zhongxiong let out a low roar, and the mysterious power hidden in his body erupted. In the darkness, an earthy yellow light suddenly appeared on his chest, and then this light flowed to his legs, condensing into armor. With the bonus of Xuanjia, Shi Zhongxiong's speed directly increased by three percent.

Chase the wind and the shadow!

After just a few breaths, the two rushed out.

Shi Zhongxiong knew that the copper rat would not chase it out, and reached out to stop Scar.

The two gasped, Shi Zhongxiong swallowed his saliva, and smiled embarrassedly: "Much, right?"

Scar shook his head with a wry smile, "I heard you say a lot, and I was mentally prepared, but I didn't expect so much!"

"And it's all third-order!"

If it is a second-order, with the fourth-order defense of two people, you can basically ignore it and kill those third-order ones.

But now, the third-order ones are all piled up......

"It's hard!"

"With the strength of you and me, I don't know what year or month it will take to clean up these copper rats. Scar frowned.

"But where can I find a helper?" Shi Zhongxiong was also a little worried.

Scar thought of Qingshan Qingtian and his son, but immediately vetoed it.

"Their strength is not as good as Brother Shi,"

"Moreover, the cave is so big, it's useless to have a lot of people!"

"The key is to be a master!"

Shi Zhongxiong said with some regret: "It's a pity that my second uncle is old, otherwise with his strength as a fifth-order demon refiner, he would have swept casually." ”

"Your second uncle?" Scar was also a little surprised, there is still such a master under the mountain?

"Yes, didn't you see him when you came?" Shi Zhongxiong wondered, "He spends all day in the sun at the entrance of the village." ”

"What!" Scar's eyes glared, "that hateful old man is your second uncle?"

"Damn?" Shi Zhongxiong laughed and said, "He's quite hateful, I was miserable by him when I was a child." Could it be that you are also ...... by him, Brother Dao?"

"Don't mention it......"

As soon as Scar said that the old man pretended to be deaf and dumb, Shi Zhongxiong laughed, "It is indeed his old man's style." ”

made a couple of jokes and returned to the topic.

After discussing it again for a long time, the two of them both sighed - if only there was a magician!

It's a pity that the two have low status and no magician friends.

Shi Zhongxiong sighed, and said: "Even if there is no magician, it would be good if there were a few people who could send a hidden weapon like Brother Dao, you don't need to use your body, and you don't occupy a position, just stand in the distance and put the hidden weapon." ”

"Brush brush," Shi Zhongxiong said while gesturing, "It's safe and fast, and the key is handsome!"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Scar's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

"I think I've found a good helper!"
