Chapter 61: The Mine
The deep decay is rich in products and resources, and has always had the reputation of a cornucopia.
Every famous place has a myth, and the Rotten Land is no exception.
It is said that in the old realm before the establishment of the Suping Realm, I don't know what age it was, at that time, the rotten land was still a primeval forest, the trees were green, the grass was green, and there were many birds and animals in it.
Until one day, for some unknown reason, a fire suddenly broke out in the rotten field.
This fire is not like an ordinary flame, and its burning power is terrifying, and it is said that it can be ignited even when you see water...... Soon, the fire spread throughout the area......
At that time, the rotten land didn't seem to be called rotten land, and no one could say what it was called. I only know that there are many combustibles in that area, and the fire has been burning for half a year, but it has not been extinguished.
The fire was so terrifying that it seemed to burn the whole world, so masters from all over the world gathered to discuss how to deal with it.
Finally, after another half a year, the fire was put down by everyone.
All kinds of creatures, the ashes of plants, were buried deep in the ground, and the land here became extremely fertile. Since then, the trees are no longer green and the grass is no longer green...... Later, the name Rotten Land was born.
Yun Chu, Li Qiuling and others came to the depths of the rotten land on the third day.
Along the way, I met many cultivators, and most of them were quite polite towards Li Qiuling, and it seemed that she was quite famous in the depths of the Rotten Land.
Accompanied by the sound of insects chirping in his ears, he breathed an unusually pungent earthy smell, and Yun Chu felt a little uncomfortable.
Looking at the land that was so dark that it couldn't be blacker anymore, Yun Chu said: "So, in the depths of the rotten ground, is where the fire came from?"
Li Qiuling nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
Yun Chu reminisced about that story, and for some reason, a complex emotion welled up in his heart. Perhaps, such a sad story, anyone who listens to it, will inevitably have a little wave in their hearts.
Li Qiuling said: "Okay, let's get down to business, our first target is the mine. ”
Zesheng was surprised: "Captain, are you going to go there directly? There are four of us, this is not very good?"
Yun Chu saw that Zesheng's face was different, and thought to himself, what is the "mine hole"?
He also said, "Do you really want to go to the mine?" They all say that the underground of the rotten land is inaccessible, and it will bring ominousness, or we should not go." ”
Li Qiuling said: "No, we have to fight quickly, and it won't be long before the location of that mine will be exposed." ”
Seeing Li Qiuling's firm face, Zesheng and Fuji had to nod silently, they were very in awe of the captain.
"The underground of the rotten land cannot be entered, just because the demon beasts will be extremely sensitive when they go underground, while humans will be inconvenient. As for bringing ominous, it is nothing but demagogic words. ”
Li Qiuling saw that Yun Chu's face was puzzled, and he said such a thing.
So the four of them went west.
Along the way, listening to Li Qiuling's description, it turned out that the mine cave was a place used by demon beasts to store resources. Some demon beasts have gradually improved their spiritual intelligence through evolution, and they will collect available resources just like humans in order to supply them for cultivation.
Due to their unique perception, monsters are far more capable of mining resources than humans, so if they can successfully explore a mine, it will be a lot of income.
What's more, there's a good chance that there are resources in the mine that contain elemental aura, as monsters are also interested in that thing.
After walking for a long time, when he came to a dense forest, Li Qiuling stopped first and said, "It's here." ”
Yun Chu glanced around, but didn't notice anything special, and saw Zesheng and Fuji looking at each other, walking a few steps, and standing in front of a giant tree.
The two of them hugged the giant tree and pulled it out with all their might. A cave that could only be entered by one person was revealed.
Yun Chu raised his eyebrows, it seems that this mine is perpendicular to the ground, and if one person enters it, he can barely open his limbs, if he does it with the demon beast inside, I am afraid it will be even more difficult......
Li Qiuling glanced at Yun Chu and said, "Are you hesitating, do you dare to go down with me?"
Yun Chu said: "Naturally, I want to go down with you, but you have to teach me how to deal with it first, this hole looks a little narrow, if you start with the demon beast, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." ”
Li Qiuling smiled strangely and took out something from the bag, it was a milky white columnar thing, the thickness of the index finger, about half a foot long.
Zesheng said: "Captain, what is this?"
Li Qiuling came to the front of the mine, looked down at it, and said, "Xuanling Stone, have you heard of it?"
Ze Sheng's expression changed slightly, and he shouted: "Xuanling Stone, of course I've heard of it! ”
"Yes, it's the Xuanling Stone. If there are beasts within 100 meters, the Xuanling Stone will turn red, and the stronger the demon beast, the darker the color will be. ”
As he spoke, Li Qiuling pointed the Xuanling Stone to the mine.
Yun Chu looked at the Xuanling Stone and saw that its color remained unchanged at all, could it be that there were no beasts in this cave?
Li Qiuling said: "Judging from the structure, this mine should be some years old, I guess that the demon beasts inside are old and dead." ”
Yun Chu nodded, speechless. The older the cave is formed, the more resources it has, and if there is no demon beast to protect it, wouldn't it be as simple as searching for things?
Zesheng looked hesitant on the side of reassurance, and after a while, he said: "Captain, if you go on, then let's go down, we haven't explored the mine once or twice, the demon beasts in this cave are dead, what else is there to worry about?"
"Exactly. ”
As the captain of the team, Li Qiuling had a high-spirited posture, and asked the three of them the precautions for going down the cave, and then took out a few pieces of fluorite from the bag.
He said, "This is for lighting, each person brings one piece, and you follow me." ”
Yun Chu took the stone and said, "You can go down now?"
Li Qiuling glanced at him, the corners of his lips moved slightly, and said, "Yes, follow me obediently." With that, he stretched out his waist and entered the cave.
Zesheng patted Yun Chu on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll cover you when you go down." It's not that scary to go down to the mines, but you're born with a fear of strange things, so don't let him scare you. ”
Yun Chu nodded, followed behind, and leaned in.
Subsequently, Zesheng and Fuji entered the cave one after another, sealed the entrance of the cave, and went deeper.
The cave went down vertically, and it was extremely difficult to walk, Yun Chu held the glowstone in his hand, and kicked the cave wall with his legs apart, moving down step by step.
Yun Chu grew so big, he had never gone down to the mine, it was dark inside, and he was not afraid, but he was a little unexpected, and the joy of the demon raiding team in the mouth of the handyman disciple was so hard.
But at the thought of the various resources at the bottom of the cave, Yun Chu suddenly had the strength, and he needed the ice elemental aura too much now.
On the way down the cave, Zesheng told Yun Chu about their previous experience of going down to the cave, and when it came to fighting with demon beasts, it was lifelike and vivid.
After about an hour, Yun Chu's limbs were a little sleepy, he didn't expect the mine cave to be so deep, he took out the water cup in the bag, drank a mouthful of water soaked in the crystals, and recovered a lot of strength.
The further down the cave became, the wetter it became, and the walls of the cave gradually became softer, and the palms of my hands touched something slimy, and I felt very uncomfortable.
Inexplicably, I have some thoughts, such as being trapped under this ground and never being able to get out, or a demon beast suddenly popping out of the ground, if I can't deal with it, how can I climb up all of a sudden......
Zesheng spoke for a while, then changed his words and said, "Captain, it's been so long, why hasn't this mine been finished yet?"
Li Qiuling glanced at the Xuanling Stone, but there was no sign of finding a demon beast, and he was thoughtful.
said: "This mine is unfathomable, maybe it will be the deepest one of the mines we have explored, everyone be careful, such a deep mine should not be free of beasts......
Ze Sheng's face was slightly solemn, and he nodded: "It makes sense, I don't know what beast dug out such a deep mine." ”
As he spoke, he took out a few things from the storage bag and said, "I hope there are no demon beasts below, but if there is, it must be an earth-shattering existence." Xiaoqing, you are responsible for using the spirit crossbow, don't rush to attack when you see the demon beast, listen to the captain's command. ”
"No, the two of us are still old posts. ”
Fuji shouted, "Why do I think something touched me?"
Yun Chu's eyebrows jumped, and he seemed to feel that something was touching him, and the feeling was extremely delicate, like something that had entered his body.
Li Qiuling stroked his sleeves, looked at it meaningfully, and said, "Don't be afraid, this should be the discomfort of being in the depths of the ground, and it will be fine after a while." ”
Fuji felt a little relieved, Zesheng said: "Fuji, you are still so timid, look at Xiaoqing, he just joined the demon raiding team, and he behaved much better than you, as if others are learning." ”
In fact, Yun Chu also felt that this underground panic was panicking, and he didn't know when it would be the end, he was not afraid of the cold, but at a depth of thousands of meters underground, he also felt cold in his heart.
Based on the structure of the cave, it is judged that the type of monster is either a snake or a dragon.
After another while, Li Qiuling suddenly stopped and waved his hand.
Yun Chuxin knew that he was afraid that he was in trouble, and then he heard Zesheng's deep voice: "There are demon beasts, prepare to act!"
