Volume 1 Xuantian Continent Chapter 177 Red Blood Mine
In the woods beside a silent blackwater swamp.
Feng Chen and his group of five were cautiously heading to the forest python's lair.
Occasionally, there is the soft sound of "crunch, crunch!" feet stepping on rotting wood in the woods.
But this did not slow down the movement speed of Feng Chen, who led Wu Hao and the others!
"A few of you should have also noticed that the zigzag and winding traces of progress just now are the unique footprints of a demonic beast like the forest python. ”
"Judging from the freshness of those traces we found just now, it was the forest python in the front nest that took advantage of the approaching night to go outside to hunt!"
Feng Chen, who had lowered his voice to a rather low level, spoke at the front of the entire team at this time to explain to them behind him.
Because of Feng Chen's instructions before, Wu Hao and Zhang Cheng did not choose to ask questions along the way.
Listening to Feng Chen's orders alone, he came all the way here.
After looking at the large patch of moss outside the python's nest and smelling the unique fishy smell of snakes, Feng Chen directly waved his hand to a few people, indicating that the destination had arrived.
Feng Chen, who had already arrived outside the cave, listened attentively to the movements in the python's nest for a long time.
Only then did he turn around and speak to a few people:
"It seems that there should be only one forest python in this forest python nest, we can go directly inside to find crocodile eggs!"
"Wait a minute, everyone just try not to make too much noise, and then we'll pick two more people to stay outside to let the wind out. ”
"If there's any movement, just send a signal to the others who have entered the cave. ”
Zhang Cheng, who had already held back not speaking for too long because of Feng Chen's order along the way, breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
As if he had finally gotten rid of some pressure, he quickly asked Feng Chen:
"Feng Chen, there is no danger now, if you want to go into this forest python's lair to find crocodile eggs, then it will be better for me. ”
With Zhang Cheng, who was the first to speak, Chen Sheng and Wu Hao also responded to Feng Chen:
"Both of us can do it, how to choose, Feng Chen, you can decide!"
"Since everyone says so, then I'll just decide. ”
In Feng Chen's opinion, as long as Lin Python had left the nest, no matter what else was in the nest, there should be no danger.
But in order to deal with possible accidents, Feng Chen thought about it for a while, and still said to everyone:
"Then let's do it, wait for me, Zhang Cheng and Liu Liang, the three of us to enter this forest python's lair to complete the task. ”
"Then Brother Wu, you lead Chen Sheng outside to help us keep a sentry, if Lin Python really suddenly came back when we entered the cave, you two don't fight him, just let us know." ”
"Zhang Cheng, Liu Liang, are you two okay?"
Feng Chen's arrangement is also considered based on the strength and character of several people.
Among the five-person team present, counting the hidden strength, there is no doubt that he and Liu Liang should be the strongest.
In terms of personality, Wu Hao, who is older and from Wuzhuang, is the most stable, and in the same way, Chen Sheng is also extremely obedient and reliable at some times.
In this way, leaving the two of them to guard outside, while he led the stronger Liu Liang, and Zhang Cheng, who might accidentally cause some movement and cause danger, directly entered the lair to complete the task, which was the best choice.
"Yes, Feng Chen, I don't have any problem, it just so happens that I also want to go to Lin Python's lair and go there to see what is different about this second-order demonic beast!"
"I'm okay with that!"
is different from Zhang Cheng's answer, Liu Liang's return is so concise and to the point.
It's also very much in line with his character.
"Okay, let's go into the lair and have a look!
"Don't worry, Fengchen! If there is really any movement, I will whistle immediately to inform a few of you!"
Seeing that Feng Chen, who had already completed the distribution, did not wait any longer, and directly informed Wu Hao and the others, and took the lead in walking into the lair of the forest python in front of him.
Different from the opening of the cave, when Feng Chen and Zhang Cheng slowly went deep into the snake nest of this second-order demonic beast.
I felt more and more that some of the roads ahead were getting lower and lower, and after a few people had advanced a certain distance, they had to bow their heads a little before they could continue to move forward.
And unlike Zhang Cheng's imagination, he thought that the nest of this forest python would be very cold and damp.
But what he didn't expect was that the cave was very dry.
There was also a heat that came from an unknown source from the depths of the cavern on the ground.
"Feng Chen! I thought that the forest python's nest would be very damp and cold, but I didn't expect it to give me such a warm feeling, what's going on!"
Faced with Zhang Cheng's sudden question because of doubt, Feng Chen, who kept groping forward, did not feel any displeasure.
Instead, after continuing to observe forward for a while, he directly took out a fire fold from his arms, lit it and illuminated it in his hand, and explained to Zhang Cheng:
"You should know that these demonic beasts like pythons are just as cold-blooded as their mortal species!"
"Because of this nature, all demonic beasts such as pythons will choose a relatively dry and warm environment as their lair, otherwise they will not be able to maintain their normal body temperature by themselves. ”
Feng Chen communicated with Zhang Cheng beside him in a low voice, which did not delay the continued progress of several people.
It was the second time that I learned about his extensive knowledge from Feng Chen, and I subconsciously nodded in admiration.
Feng Chen, who noticed him like this, while illuminating the way ahead, also stretched out his hand to feel the rock walls on both sides of the lair, and fell into a short contemplation.
After a while, Feng Chen withdrew his hand, smiled a little excitedly, and then said quickly while beckoning Zhang Cheng and Liu Liang to continue to follow him:
"As for the reason why you just found that there is a stream of heat coming from the depths of the cave, it is very likely that this forest python's lair, and there are some fire-attribute heavenly and earthly treasures in it. ”
"And this may also be the reason why a magical beast like the forest python wants to build a nest here, let's go inside and take a look. ”
Feng Chen's words immediately inspired Zhang Cheng and Liu Liang, who were also curious.
"Feng Chen, what you said is true! Then why don't we hurry up and see what it is?"
Striding Meteor, Feng Chen, who was running quickly from the depths of Lin Python's lair, didn't wait for Zhang Cheng to finish his words.
He had already passed directly through the corridor that was still a little narrow for a few people before.
A fairly open interior cave was discovered.
When Feng Chen entered the snake's nest where the python usually lived, he found a few blood-red stones stuck in the walls of the nest in the corner of the snake's nest.
And Feng Chen, who had seen this kind of ore illustrated book, recognized at a glance what the red stone in front of him was.
However, before him, there was another person who also recognized the origin of these stones, and subconsciously blurted out:
"It's a red blood mine!"
