Chapter 178: The Secret Cave
Generally speaking, there is an unknown underground passage in the Castle Lord's Mansion, and we start from that underground passage and appear in a very remote place outside the Iron Valley.
"Whew! It's finally coming out? "After a very long underground walk, we had enough of the murky air in the tunnels, and we all took a long breath.
Not daring to make any stops in this place, we immediately rushed towards our destination. On the way forward, it was so smooth that we felt that this was not true, along the way, no one came to us for trouble, many people looked at us, and they no longer cared about us, and we arrived at the place that Xunlong said very smoothly.
"Sister, is this the place?" I looked at this valley that was nothing special, and I couldn't help but ask Xunlong.
"This is it, but we're too early, so we can't see what's going on here." Xunlong said.
"Change?" We looked at her in amazement, come to this place, do you have to choose a day?
"Do you see that hole in the wall over there?" Xunlong pointed to a round hole in a mountain wall opposite and said to us.
The round hole that Xunlong refers to is not very large, but it is very deep, and the thickness of the round hole is estimated to be close to 10 meters. It's just that what does she mean by the round hole she told us? Is it true that the place we are going to go through that round hole?
"That hole, only at a certain special time every year, the sun can completely shine from that hole to the mountain wall here, and tomorrow at noon, that is such a time." Xunlong said.
"I look at such a big hole, the sun should be able to shine every day!" The old pig shook his head and said.
"In fact, there is no way for this round hole to shine directly through the sunlight at any time, at the end of the round hole, there is also a lake, in addition, there is a church of the Church of Light over there, they form a refraction system with each other, only a certain number of times a year can shine sunlight through the round hole, other times, there is no way." Xunlong didn't care about the old pig's words, and said with a smile.
"Sister Long, you know a lot! You won't be the GM of the game, right? The old pig said with some surprise.
"There's no GM in this game, I know that, and that's because I stumbled upon this unforgettable scene before, and then I studied it specifically, and now it just comes in handy." Xunlong said in a very light tone, but when she said these words, her heart couldn't help beating quickly, and she smiled bitterly, is this considered a break in the rules of the game?
"Old pig, don't open your mouth if you don't have something, no one treats you as a dumb person." Lan Zhan was very dissatisfied with the old pig's treatment of Xunlong like this.
"I know you love your sister-in-law." The old pig muttered in a low voice, and the sound was just right to be heard by Lan Zhan and Xunlong. Xunlong listened to the old pig's words, and wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it, and didn't make any moves, but the blushing face couldn't fool anyone, and the kid Lan Zhan gave a thumbs up to the old pig in a place where Xunlong couldn't see.
"Let's come back tomorrow." Xunlong noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere on the scene, and immediately said.
"By the way, sister, what would happen if the sun didn't go out every day?" I suddenly asked Xunlong and said.
Xunlong turned around and stopped, and then she said, "If that hole doesn't reflect any sunlight coming in, then there will be no change here, as it is now, so you better pray to God that there will be no rainy weather at noon tomorrow." ”
Listening to Xunlong's irresponsible words, we almost fainted, oh my God! We have worked so hard, but we still have to gamble with God!
With 15 minutes left before the allotted time, we all came up.
"The sun is so beautiful today!" Seeing that there is no rainy weather today, our mood is as bright as this bright sunshine.
"Cairo, have you come up too?" Cairo was invisible, and we had to shout into the air.
"I've always been here." Cairo's voice was heard in the air.
"What's the matter?" We asked, what a hard job it was for him, he had been in this small place for so long.
"Nothing out of the ordinary happened, there weren't a few monsters in this place, and it wasn't a traffic artery, so few people came here. I've only seen 2 players pass by since yesterday. Cairo said.
"Cairo, thank you for your hard work." Lan Zhan wanted to pat Cairo on the shoulder, but found that he didn't know the specific location of Cairo, and the hand he raised had to be a little embarrassed to scratch his hair.
"It's almost time, Cairo, old pig, one of you is blocking one end of this valley, before there is a change in this valley, everyone who comes here will be killed!" Xunlong said to the old pig with some murderous anger.
"Got it!" The old pig ran at once, and in a short time he reached the end of the valley, and he looked back at the side of Cairo, but saw nothing. That guy thought about it, and even hid himself, so that if he didn't get particularly close to this valley, others wouldn't know that there were us here, but those who were close would definitely become the ghosts of the old pigs in their hands.
Someone has said that the waiting time is the hardest, and during the time we waited, everyone tried to talk as much as possible in order to pass the time, but obviously, everyone seemed a little careless.
"It's time!" I don't know who shouted, but we suddenly realized that in the cave, a ray of light suddenly fell to the mountain wall we are approaching, and then, the mountain wall that was illuminated by the light, about ten meters away from us, suddenly there was a mountain wall about two feet long, and it lit up.
We hurriedly ran to the place where it was lit up, only to find that it was actually a magic portal! In front of us, the door was rippling with the colorful halo again and again.
It's a magical design, and we don't know who made it, but we don't have time to think about it, because we heard the dragon urging us: "Let's go in quickly, this magic portal lasts for a very short time, as long as the sunlight disappears, the door will be closed." ”
Cairo stood quietly at the end of the valley, comfortably enjoying the breeze, after wearing this nothingness, he also became a ball of gas, and then blowing this wind, the feeling was already very different. He glanced in our direction when the light appeared in the round hole, and his hunter's good eyesight allowed him to see the magic portal on the mountain wall, but he only glanced at it, and then looked away and continued his guard work.
But when he turned around, he suddenly found the figure of a girl, who did not seem to be of high rank, with a tattered knife in her hand, and her clothes were also tattered, not even a pair of shoes. The face was also dirty, and it was impossible to see the original face, but Cairo's eyes, which were obviously higher than other professions, clearly saw the strength on the girl's face and eyes.
Cairo's heart suddenly seemed to be moved by something, and he felt that he was moved by the girl in front of him, and he suddenly wanted to cry. This feeling is like those girls full of fantasies looking at Aunt Qiong Yao, and like a hot-blooded man seeing the iron-blooded battlefield, this is really a very strange feeling, Cairo himself has no way to express his own emotion clearly, he only feels that he has no way to control himself.
Seeing the girl walking towards him step by step, Cairo suddenly became nervous, if the girl still came, then he would shoot a fatal arrow to her chest.
"Ouch!" The girl suddenly fell.
"What a fool! She can't even walk, no wonder, her body is so dirty? Cairo laughed happily.
The girl got up and continued her way towards the valley. Step by step, the girl got closer and closer, but Cairo found that the sweat on his hand holding the bow was getting more and more.
"One step further and I'll launch." Cairo said to himself.
The girl didn't know that there was a death waiting for her in front of her, so she took another step very firmly.
"This time it's true, if ......" Cairo found himself changing, becoming very indecisive, and finally, he lowered his bow and arrow, re-aiming at the target, and then, gently relaxing the fingers that had been strangled by the bowstring, which had turned a little white.
When the girl was about 50 paces in front of Cairo, an arrow suddenly appeared in her chest, which quickly stained the girl's chest red, and she fell. Cairo watched the girl fall, then sighed, and looked back, only to find that there was no trace of our group in the valley, and the round hole had no sunlight, and the magic teleportation array on the mountain wall did not know when it disappeared.
"Old pig, call it a day!" Cairo walked over to the old pig and said to the old pig.
"Cairo, come over quickly, I'm going to find a rich ore again, this valley, there is a rare ore vein that is better than the mine we are developing now, you look at this surface, there is already such a rich ore, I really don't know, the ore of the main ore vein, how amazingly rich it will be!" The old pig held a few pieces of ore in his hand like a baby, and said to Cairo with great excitement.
"Old pig, you can develop your mine cave first, this place is no better than Tiegu, if there is no eldest brother, second brother and other masters of their level are shocked, we develop here, just to make wedding dresses for others." Cairo unceremoniously poured cold water on the old pig.
The old pig suddenly knelt on the ground, and then knelt down to the sky and bowed: "Oh my God! You must make them better! As long as you make them better, you will let me open two more veins, and I am willing! ”
Seeing the old pig's almost joking behavior, Cairo couldn't help but sigh, the eye-gouging demon, as well as the god of fire, and the immortal phoenix, these people are already representatives of the masters of this game, when they are there, few other teams dare to be the first in the world, but they have just been assassinated by others, those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods all ran out, all of them treat their teams as a piece of fat, and the Shenbow brigade led by themselves, the combat effectiveness is also very scary, but it has no deterrent effect on them, The number one in the world really wants to develop, big brother, they really have to restore their combat effectiveness!
"This cave is known throughout history as a greedy heart." After the dragon seeker led us through the magic teleportation array, we found that we arrived at a huge cave hall, this cave hall, a full thirty meters high, around the cave hall, but there are magic lanterns, these lanterns are used as energy from the minerals on the cave wall, so they can not be extinguished.
"Greedy?" When I heard the name of Xunlong, my heart couldn't help but stir, I usually read those magic books in my butterfly dream world, so I also know very well the history of this greedy heart.
"How come I don't know what this greedy heart is?" Lan Zhan said with a grunt.
"The heart of greed is not talking about this cave, but about the human heart." I looked at Lan Zhan and them, and I didn't seem to feel anything about greed, and I couldn't help but say.
"Sister Kelong is talking about this cave." Lan Zhan was confused by me.
"This cave is not called greed, but the source of happiness, because this cave contains a wealth of rare minerals, the texture of those rare minerals is very good, it is an indispensable material for building magic weapons back then, people come here, as long as they get a few pieces out, they can enjoy the rest of their lives peacefully, so this place is named the source of happiness."
However, human greed is uncontrollable, and some people throw out their food and replace it with ore in order to get more ore. And there are even some people who do everything for a piece of ore, so that there are often rivers of blood and resentment everywhere. And because there are only a limited number of times a year when it is open here, countless people who come in cannot come out at all, and they either consume their own food inside and die, or are killed by others. Day after day, year after year, more and more people are dying here, and everyone who dies is because of greed, so this place is called greed from now on. "I slowly told the story of how the cave got its name.
Everyone listened to my words, but they were silent, and suddenly everyone rushed out, frantically gathered the piles of ore in the hall, and shouted with laughter: "Haha! We sent! ”
Yes, we sent it, this cave, there is no need to dig at all, we can also see a lot of abandoned, very high purity of rare ores in the tunnels of the cave, these ores, there are many varieties, but each piece can be sold for a sky-high price, if these ores on the ground are picked up, it is estimated that we can rebuild another iron valley.
"First of all, I remind everyone that this mine has been cursed, and the ore here can only be taken out if you are alive, as long as you die, those ores will naturally fall out, and they will not stay at all." Xunlong looked at us who were desperately collecting ore, and couldn't help but say.
Lan Zhan and the Phantom, smiling dryly, wanted to wrap up the ore that had been collected like a hill, but they who had been suppressed to only 10% of their strength, where could they still take it? Moreover, those rare ores are very heavy, each piece is more than ten times that of high-purity iron ore, with their little strength, put a few more pieces on their body, they can crush them. In the end, they had to find a few small pieces of ore and keep them in their hands to have fun.
And I don't have such scruples, my oversized storage wrist wheel, although there is a lot of garbage, but there is still space for that! And Ya'er is even more needless to say, she is simply a cargo transfer station! She can fit as many things as you want.
"Whew! Lao Tzu swears, after I go out, I must buy the largest storage space with a lot of money! "Lan Zhan saw me and Ya'er, dressed up there, so he didn't seem to be able to stand this kind of stimulation, and he howled loudly.
"Blue War, you know what? Your ghostly cry will summon the ghost. I smiled and said to Lan Zhan.
I soon regretted my crow's mouth, and as soon as I had finished saying this, we suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing in the hall, and then a small trembling sound came into our ears, and then we found that the bones in the hall suddenly moved, and in a short time hundreds of skeletons appeared in front of us.
"Crow's beak!" Seeing that it was a broken bone skeleton, everyone breathed a sigh of relief gently, and then they had the spirit to say to me in unison.
"It was the Blue War." I pointed at Lan Zhan and said very aggrieved.
"Stop talking so much nonsense, let's get rid of these bones first." Lan Zhan said, and swaggered towards the group of skeletons.
"Be careful, even though they're bone-shattering skeletons, they're also level 10! Moreover, there are so many human trees. Xunlong said to Lan Zhan with great concern.
"It's okay, our ability is that monsters of the same level are more or less our opponents, aren't they!" Lan Zhan said to me and the Phantom.
"It's true. Sister, you can help me take care of Ya'er, let's move around and come back. Phantom, it's time to start! "I shouted at the Phantom, and then with Lan Zhan, I faced the skeletons with the broken bones." Dragon, today we have opened branches in the 5 main cities of the 421st district, and so far, in the entire Great North District, every district has our second branch in the world. At the dinner table, Liu Zi said to me very happily.
"Sister Liu, you have done a really good job, after forming our sales network, we can sell Tiegu's products in a steady stream." I sandwiched a large piece of chicken for Sister Liu, put it in her mouth, and said.
"It's just that although we have a lot of chain stores, our profits are not much, and the main reason for this is that the freight of our goods accounts for a good part of our profits." Liu Zi said.
"Who's going to help us deliver the goods?" I asked.
"It's an organization called the Cattle Gang, and they have a very good reputation. Moreover, they can guarantee that the goods we escort by them can reach their destination safely, and if our goods are robbed, they will compensate according to the price. Liu Zi said.
"Aren't there any other organizations?" I asked.
"Yes, there are, but there are very few, and every time those organizations want our goods out, they will always be robbed by others, and there is no choice but to find the cattle gang." Liu Zi said.
I didn't speak, this cattle gang obviously has an unclear relationship with Hao Wenqing, maybe it is just a branch of Hao Wenqing's organization. Since Hao Wenqing marched into Tiegu, they bought half of the land auctioned off in Tiegu, and the signboards of their Hongtu industry were erected everywhere. Although we are the second in the world to develop earlier than them, they have gone ahead of us and set up their own branches in various districts one step ahead.
Hao Wenqing's appetite is very big, their business, including almost all the business in the game, according to the information we got from Nameless, we know that their organization has a weapon manufacturing group that is the second largest in the game, a professional mining team with a number of about 7,000, and a super chain pharmacy called Hui ** store all over the entire Northern Region. We've even learned that they have a Shadow Killer Order. The killer organization is ranked according to Nameless, and it actually occupies the 5th place in the killer world in this game! Don't underestimate this number 5! The killer organization, the comparison is not the number of people, nor the level, but the success rate of the mission, listen to Nameless, the number one killer organization, his members are all composed of those top killers in the real world, and their assassination skills are not what can be achieved by relying on the skills and equipment provided by the game.
Although Hao Wenqing has blatantly organized so many groups, until now, we still don't know how big Hao Wenqing's power is, and what groups are theirs, and how much power they have hidden underground? But we can know from all kinds of clues that as long as Hao Wenqing is willing, she can still come up with another organization that is as domineering as the previous Jiangshan League, and that organization, we will have no hope of defeating it like before.
Compared with the aggressive Hao Wenqing, we are the first in the world to be quite pitiful, all our net worth is clearly touched, the people around us, I don't know how many are Hao Wenqing's people, we sneeze, Hao Wenqing can also know clearly, our development is completely under the control of others.
"Long, Sister Hua asked me to tell you that Hongtu Industry asked the smelting school to expand the number of students enrolled in the smelting major, but she had reached an agreement with the dean of the smelting college, and the college rejected Hongtu Industry's request on the grounds that the faculty was insufficient. In return, we must increase the capital investment of 10% to the college every month, and the dean forced Sister Hua to research proposals for their two basic theories, the cycle of those two proposals is very long, and the cost of investment will be very large, Sister Hua is afraid that this proposal will involve too much, so she didn't dare to agree immediately, and wanted to talk to you, but you don't know how to do it, there is no way to communicate. Liu Zi asked me.
