Early the next morning after the report, sure enough, Bu Ye ran over to the team dormitory to wake up the entire caravan, and chased after us butts and kept urging, telling us to get up quickly, wash up, pack things, and then start loading the big snail's back.

I glanced up at the automaton on my wrist, and it was only 6:05 a.m. when I woke up, which is exactly the right time. It's too early, right? The curfew in the city is still half an hour away!

However, fortunately, there are no ghosts and only people in the upper city, so naturally there is no danger that you may encounter anytime and anywhere during the curfew period in the lower city. But from this point of view, this Bu Ye's temperament and temper are really anxious!

The personal carry-on luggage was packed last night, and it was packed as simple as possible, and it was tied to the back of the last big snail, and the rest of the snails were loaded with goods. I took a look, and most of the cargo was food and medicinal herbs collected from the dead water, and a small part was unknown minerals that had been transferred from other places.

Zuoqiu City is the closest Yin City in the underground Yin City to Death Ze. There are a lot of ghosts and monsters in Death Ze, and only a big city like Zuoqiu City can withstand the impact of the Death Ze monster once every few years, referred to as "Ze Chao".

But where there is a crisis, there are often business opportunities. In fact, it is also a rich source of ingredients and medicinal materials. Zuoqiu City is close to such a place, and it must be used and developed more. The major families and ghost gangs in Zuoqiu City will often form expeditions to enter the Dead Ze to explore, mainly to find various precious ingredients and medicinal materials.

In addition, in addition to sending expeditions, Zuoqiu City also planned to develop underground agriculture. After decades of exploration and management, a large area of underground farmland has been developed in the outer area of Dead Ze, and some improved rice, vegetables and fruits can be planted to supply Yin Xiu and ghosts at the same time, and the excess output will be transported to other Yin cities for sale, which can be regarded as a major industry.

Because of the different locations of other Yin cities, the resources that can be obtained locally are also different, so they can only rely on caravans to communicate with each other and solve the problem of shortage of some resources. As the largest Yin City, Zuoqiu City has as many as 50 caravans belonging to major families, which travel between Yin Cities all year round. This is one of the reasons why the economy of Zuoqiu City is so prosperous.

On this trip, the destination of the sixth team of our Tengjia Commercial Bank is a small Yin City called Hanglou Town, and the round-trip journey takes about a month.

Because we got up early and the goods were already packed, we quickly loaded everything onto the snail's back before breakfast. After a quick breakfast, it was the final count and inspection.

At this time, the bird who had provoked me and fought me last night, and finally slept next to me, came to me again. Although he looks weird, he is actually very valued by Buye, in addition to being a dart master, he is also in charge of logistics and bookkeeping in the team, which can be regarded as a "second-in-command".

"You're new here, and you're a chef turned dart master, are there any lack of protective gear and weapons? If there is a shortage, hurry up and say, the commercial bank is in charge of the hair. You don't really plan to use a spatula and an iron pot as weapons, do you? He asked directly, but he changed his arrogant attitude from last night and "cared" about me.

I've already put on the protective gear I bought, and the short knife is pinned to my waist. I patted the scabbard and said, "My cooking utensils are also weapons, but I also have a short knife of my own, so I don't lack anything." ”

Although the bird's beak is owed, he is quite serious about his work, and he checked it for me again, and said, "Well, the armor is all in order, but there is no helmet." I'll get you another one later, and I'll get it from the firm's arsenal anyway. Don't take it for nothing, don't take it! ”

Immediately, he smiled at me again: "You are a chef turned to be a dart master, and you actually paid for a complete set of equipment by yourself, which will really save money for the boss!" ”

This guy was still bullsoothing last night, and after being taught a lesson by me, he seemed to have forgotten about that this morning, what a fickle guy!

However, I am quite relieved that he has changed his attitude, which is better than having a problem with the old players when he first arrived. After a while, Bird Meat really took back all the equipment that should have been sent to me, and explained to me how to use it one by one.

The helmet is uniformly configured, the dome has ear protectors, the size is just right, and it is still a new one. In addition, Bird Meat sent me a dry ration, a pot of fresh water, a stack of flying charms, and a gossip plate. Everyone should bring their own dry food and fresh water to avoid being left alone or losing their baggage on the road. The Flying Charm and the Bagua Plate are a set of simple positioning and contact to avoid getting lost.

As the caravan moved through the underworld, it had to travel constantly between the veins and caves. The underworld goes deep into the earth, and unlike the caves on the surface, there are all kinds of energy, radiation, and magnetic fields that cannot be explained by science. These interference sources are too strong, and walkie-talkies that rely on transmitting and receiving radio wave frequencies in the yang world cannot be used in the underworld at all, and can only be solved by relying on the old ancestral methods.

Each dart master is equipped with a small Bagua Plate, which is engraved with eight directions: Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui, and there are three scales from the center of the Bagua Plate to the outside. This is not a magic weapon used to catch ghosts like a mustache, but a tool for positioning.

Bird Meat explained to me in detail the use of flying talismans and Bagua Plates: "Flying talismans are used to send positioning, and Bagua Plates are used to receive and display locations." The eight directions above represent the eight directions, and the three scales represent the near distance. All the gossip plates in our team are a set, and as soon as the flying talisman is burned, all the gossip plates will light up. ”

"For example, you walk and fall behind, get lost. At this time, you can burn a flying talisman, and the rest of us will show a red point of light on the Bagua disk, and this point of light represents your position. If you were in the direction of my checkpoint, the red dot would appear on the checkpoint, and my own position would be in the center of the Bagua Plate by default. ”

"The difference between each scale is about a mile or so. For example, if the red dot is on the first scale of the position, it means that you are within a mile of my position. If it is on the third scale, it is three miles away. ”

"What if it's more than three miles?" I interjected.

Bird Meat shrugged his shoulders and grimaced, "The terrain under the underworld is very complicated, and it would be good to be able to ensure that the receiving distance can reach three miles. Beyond this distance, either there is a deviation or you simply do not receive the signal! Therefore, a novice like you should never think of leaving the team without permission in the middle of the road, otherwise no one will be able to save you if you encounter any danger! ”

"Got it!" I nodded in agreement. His words were to the point and kind.

Bird Meat's explanation of the flying talisman and the Bagua Plate is very detailed, and I can understand it as soon as I hear it. This thing is actually the same principle as the menu of Xiling Ghost Market, which is a kind of teleporter, but the information it can convey has been simplified, but the distance it can send has been extended.

At the right time, the caravan was finally fully equipped. Fifteen big snails are lined up, fourteen ghost servants lead a snail as a cowman, and the leader one is controlled by Bu Ye himself. He was also the only one who had the privilege of riding on the back of an ox, and the rest of the dart masters and buddies were left to walk on two feet.

"Let's go!"

Bu Ye gave an order, and at the same time flicked the reins in his hand, and the leader and the largest old snail squirmed forward, and the big snail behind him also followed, and the caravan also began its journey to Hanglou Town.

Due to Buye's strict management and urging, we were the first caravan to be distributed. The rest of the caravan was either still loaded, or the team had just gotten up to brush their teeth and watched sleepily as we left the upper town. When they arrived at the lower city, in order to avoid congestion, the caravan did not cross the entire right market from the nearest route, but walked straight along the square, and then bypassed behind the right market to reach Numen.

Numen has recently increased the strength of the guards, but they are still much more lenient than Zemen. The officials of the Yin Affairs Department there are mainly responsible for inspecting the caravans entering the city and collecting business taxes, and the caravans leaving the city are generally not inspected, as long as there is a road guide document issued by the Yin Affairs Division, they will be directly released.

Out of the Numen is a long cavern, very dark inside, only a ghost fire is lit on the stone walls on both sides of the ten meters apart, barely illuminating the road. It's the first time I've passed through here, and it's the first time I've left Zuoqiu City, and I can't help but be excited about the next month. Every step forward is like stepping into a new territory for me.

After walking through the narrow passage, which was hundreds of meters long, the caravan entered a slightly larger cavern. This is still the territory of Zuoqiu City, so there is an outpost and a garrison of the city guard. After passing the outpost, under the dim light of ghostly fire, a wide staircase suddenly appeared, leading from top to bottom. At the same time, the fog around them gradually rose.

Wrong! This is not fog, but a very dense yin qi!

I followed the caravan down the steps, feeling the cool and cool yin air around me, like a breeze. After descending for about a few tens of meters, the steps eventually submerged into a dark blue underground spring. But Bu Ye, who led the way, did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and actually rode a big snail directly into the spring, and then disappeared.

I saw that the others were also acting naturally, so I didn't make a fuss and asked, but kept following the caravan. It wasn't until my feet stepped into the spring that I realized the truth.

It turned out that this dark blue liquid was not an underground spring, but a very pure yin vein!
