Volume 2: Entering the Ghost Feast by Mistake Section 155: Collecting Soul Power
"Don't be intoxicated and stupid there, hurry up and follow the change in the concentration of soul power to find the mining area of the ore, you can leave here as soon as possible after the collection, otherwise it will be finished if it is discovered by the overseer." Just when Zhang Su felt the pure soul power in the ore vein, Pu Zitong said loudly.
"Huh? The soul power in this is too pure, I don't know how many times purer than the soul power gathered in the soul building room of the Heavenly Soul Castle, and I accidentally got distracted. Zhang Wei scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Okay, this is just the soul power that flows out during the collection of the high-grade soul crystal, the soul power in the soul crystal is several times purer than the soul power permeated here, when the time comes, you collect all of them and send them to the soul crystal beads, and then slowly absorb them yourself, the soul power will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, oh, by the way, I remind you, don't absorb it directly because you are greedy for the soul power in the air, that will expose your soul power." Pu Zitong reminded.
"Understood, understood, I can't wait." Zhang Su nodded and said excitedly.
Pu Zitong saw that Zhang Su was very anxious, so he walked ahead first, and kept walking along the side wall in the mine to the depths of the mine, judging the concentration of soul power with soul power as he walked, and constantly changing directions in the mine.
Pu Zitong walked in front, Zhang Su followed behind, and secretly used the Soul Monument Soul Extension Technique to explore the traces of soul power left in the ore veins, and roughly had a grasp of the structure of the ore veins and the information of the supervisors, so he was a little less worried.
"Hey, there are three holes in front, the one on the far left has the soul master's soul power fluctuation, it should be the place where the Xing family supervisor rests, and the other two holes should be the mining cave of the soul crystal, but I don't know which cave they are mining in today, or there are people in both caves, if we meet those mining people, our clothes are also easy to reveal our identity." After seven turns and eight turns, Pu Zitong walked to a fork in the cave, looked at the three caves, and while analyzing, he transmitted the sound to Zhang Su.
"Go to the far right." Zhang Su didn't think about it, and directly transmitted the voice to Pu Zitong.
"How do you know?" Pu Zitong asked puzzled.
"It's simple, just look at the ground under your feet." Zhang Su responded.
"Ground?" Pu Zitong was puzzled, and looked down at the ground, but he didn't know what to look at.
"Although the light in this cave is a little dim, but you can also see the footprints on the ground, the footprints on the leftmost cave are sparse and messy, it should be the location of the overseer, the footprints on the two roads in the middle and the right are very many and neat, obviously the workers stepped out when they lined up to enter and exit, but the middle and right roads are also a little different in the footprints, the footprints on the middle road overlap significantly more than the right one, and the traces are clearer than on the right road, It means that they have been mining the soul crystals in the middle of the road recently, and it will be relatively safe for us to enter from the right. Zhang Su had already used the stele soul extension to explore the situation in the mine, so he naturally knew which way to go, but he didn't want to expose his stele soul tuo, so he casually found a reason to fool Pu Zitong Dao.
"I didn't look at it though
What is the difference between coming out of these footprints, but I feel that there is some truth in what you said, so as you said, we will enter through the right entrance. After listening to Zhang Su's explanation, Pu Zitong couldn't tell the difference between the footprints in the dimness, so he could only follow Zhang Su's advice suspiciously and walked in from the right entrance.
As soon as he walked into the right entrance, Pu Zitong heard a small and crisp tapping sound from the depths of the cave, and immediately stood in place, frowning, and asked Zhang Wei, "How can I hear movement inside?" Could we be on the wrong track? ”
"Let's go inside and see." Zhang Su replied simply.
Pu Zitong saw Zhang Su's very confident appearance, so he was embarrassed to question Zhang Su, so he could only bite the bullet and walk inside cautiously, observing the movements around him at any time.
"Hey, why is this a hole in a hole." After walking a few steps, Pu Zitong saw another fork in front of him, and frowned.
"Aren't all caves like that? There seem to be two openings in front of you, so this time continue to the one on the right. Zhang Su commanded from behind.
"You deduced that from the footprints?" Pu Zitong glanced at the footprints on the ground, frowned again, and asked.
"Sort of." Zhang Su replied noncommittally.
Pu Zitong knew that she had no ability to distinguish and no other ideas, and seeing that Zhang Su had a judgment, she continued to follow Zhang Su's command.
"There are two more branches, which side to choose this time?" After walking more than a dozen steps, Pu Zitong saw that there were two more roads in front of him, and he didn't plan to choose it himself, so he turned his head and asked Zhang Sudao.
"Ha, I've become your dragon ruler, this time choose the left, but your pace is a little slower, we are getting bigger and bigger away from the knocking gravel, there is a good chance that there is someone in front, we have to quietly avoid that person and go further inside." Zhang Su smiled, and then commanded.
"You've been here? I think you know a lot about what's going on inside, don't you? Pu Zitong was skeptical.
"Of course I haven't been here, as for why I know the situation inside, it's because I have a one-handed soul detection skill, and I can sense the situation inside, these are not important, you hurry up and lead the way in front." Zhang Su responded.
"Don't use your soul skills indiscriminately in this, you'll be dead if you are discovered." Pu Zitong said anxiously.
"My soul exploration technique is a bit special, it won't leak soul power, you hurry up, we have to leave here before dawn, otherwise we won't be able to get out of this mine as soon as dawn." Zhang Wei shook his head and denied.
After listening to Zhang Su's denial, Pu Zitong didn't continue to ask, turned around again, and continued to follow the path indicated by Zhang Su, pressing his steps as he went, for fear of being heard by others.
"Stop! See where there's light ahead? It shows that this road is connected to the mining area, and the knocking sound we heard just now should be the movement coming from the mining area, and we have to quietly cross the mining area and go behind the mining area. Zhang Su reminded.
"Behind the mining area? What's there? Pu Zitong was puzzled.
"If I'm not mistaken
It is estimated that the Xing family wants to dig up the front piece and then start construction on the back deposit, it should be afraid that when digging to the back, it will damage the soul crystal in front of it," Zhang Su explained.
"You mean to say that the Xing family has found two soul crystal mines around here? That's pretty good, isn't it? Pu Zitong said in surprise.
"It can be said that it is two pieces, or it can be considered that a whole vein is separated by a layer of non-vein stone and soil, and now the Xing family is mining one of them, and the other side has been in a state of mining after exploration." Zhang Su explained.
"I see, then if we go to the area to be mined and collect, it may be more refined than the soul crystal stone in the mining area." Pu Zitong listened to Zhang Su's explanation and said excitedly.
"Well, also, you have to pay attention to your steps after passing through the light." Seeing that Pu Zitong was excited, Zhang Su warned.
"Why? What danger lies ahead beyond the light? Pu Zitong asked puzzled.
"There is no danger, mainly because I smelled a stench from the front, it is estimated that the road we took is a trail for prospecting and prospecting in the early stage, and it was abandoned after the main road was opened in the middle, and now it should be used as a temporary toilet by the workers here, and there may be feces and urine scattered on the ground in front, be careful not to step on it." Zhang Su responded with a smile.
"pee?!" When Pu Zitong heard Zhang Su say this, his face turned blue, and he said disgustingly, and quickly checked the soles of his feet.
"Shhhh Zhang Su made a silent gesture at Pu Zitong and explained.
After Pu Zitong checked his feet, he found that there was no foreign object other than soil, which made him feel a lot more relieved, and then pinched his nose and pursed his mouth, and walked towards the depths of the passage.
Zhang Su followed behind Pu Zitong, and when he saw Pu Zitong posing as if he was facing a great enemy, he was secretly happy.
When passing through the bright light, Pu Zitong and Zhang Su first looked into the bright light, and saw that the mining area was brightly lit, many people were bare-chested, holding small hammers, holding soul crystals with one hand, and hitting a certain point on the soul crystals with the other hand, and then quickly threw the broken soul crystals into the bamboo basket beside them, repeating this action constantly, as if they were cutting wheat.
"Don't they really know what they're collecting?" Zhang Su could naturally see the true appearance of the soul crystal, but he was curious about what those ordinary miners could see in the ecstasy array, so he asked.
"I don't know, those ordinary miners see marble blocks, you don't have to use your soul eyes to see that illusion." Pu Zitong explained.
Zhang Su responded to what Pu Zitong said, closed the Yin and Yang Soul Eyes directly, and when he opened his eyes again, what caught his eyes was indeed a long strip of marble inlaid on the ground and wall, and he suddenly felt very magical.
"Don't look at it, if this is really a temporary toilet for the workers, then we have to get out of here now, lest any workers really come and find us, and then I will shout 'one, two, three' in my soul voice, and when I shout 'three'
, Let's run through this pass together, there are four or five meters in front, it is estimated that you can pass in two steps, pay attention not to make any noise. Seeing Zhang Su looking at the workers in the mining area with novelty, Pu Zitong reminded.
"Okay." Zhang Su collected his thoughts and replied with a soul sound.
"One...... Two...... Three! After Zhang Su's reply, Pu Zitong observed the flow of people in the mining area, and saw that no one paid attention to them, so he transmitted the soul power to Zhang Su, and the soul sound fell, flew through the mining area, and jumped to the other end of the passage.
Seeing Pu Zitong rushing over, Zhang Su was naturally not far behind, but he added another layer of protection to himself, and at the moment he rushed over, he directly used the colored scale arm to hide his figure, so that his figure flew over like a cloud of colorless air, and only after passing through did he quietly lift his invisibility.
"No one found out." After Pu Zitong passed, he turned around and asked Zhang Sudao.
Zhang Su showed half of his face and looked at the mining area, and found that no one noticed the anomaly in this passage, so he shrank his face back and shook his head with a smile at Pu Zitong.
Seeing that his body was not exposed, Pu Zitong breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to walk towards the passage with Zhang Su, the more he walked, the darker the light became, and after passing through a dark corner, the passage in front of him was completely dim, Pu Zitong and Zhang Su could only use the soul eye to find their way forward, with light steps, and slowly moving forward.
After two more corners, Pu Zitong and Zhang Su finally came to an open mining area, where there were many soul crystals, and the soul crystals were stuck on the ground and the wall like stone needles, which looked very shocking.
"Wow, I really didn't expect that there are such rich soul crystal deposits in the Xing family's mine, I have estimated the reserves as much as possible, but I still haven't estimated that there is such a scale, in terms of reserves, none of the several mineral deposits mined by our Pu family can compare to here, and this is still a high-grade soul crystal crystal mine, it seems that my soul crystal bead belt is less." Looking at the huge mineral deposits, Pu Zitong said with emotion.
"It's the first time I've come to this kind of vein, and I don't feel much, isn't it rare to see this kind of vein?" Zhang Su was puzzled.
"I've heard a lot in the past, but now it's rare, because this kind of soul crystal is not very regenerating, and it will disappear directly after being mined, so in this world, this kind of vein will only become less and less." Pu Zitong replied.
"I see, there is another point that I am very puzzled about, why is there such a vein here, this is not a mountain, and it is not a special geological environment, why is this kind of crystal-like soul crystal vein born in the land?" Zhang Su asked.
"First of all, it's not that crystals are all soul crystals, so don't think that soul crystals are everywhere, and secondly, the generation of soul crystals comes from soul dust, although the air is filled with soul dust, but soul dust will not give birth to soul crystals if it does not reach a certain concentration, the reason why there are soul crystals here is very likely to be related to the crematorium not far away." Pu Zitong explained.
"What does it have to do with the crematorium?" Zhang asked puzzled.
"After a person dies, the soul goes out of the body, the soul will continue to lose soul power, and the soul power will turn into soul dust
As long as you can know the true reserves of this piece of soul spar vein, you can deduce the year of the accumulation of this vein, and then you can infer how long the crematorium next to it has existed, as far as it is now, there should be thirty or forty years. Pu Zitong continued to answer.
"That crematorium has been around for so long." Zhang Su was surprised.
"Alright, let's get started, you know how to collect soul crystals, right?" Pu Zitong ignored Zhang Su's surprise and asked instead.
"I heard that there is a dot on it, as long as you tap that dot, you can directly knock it apart, and then introduce soul power into the soul crystal bead." Zhang Su replied.
"That's right, you also saw the methods of those miners just now, basically just follow it, that point is also easy to find, that is, the most turbid part of the crystal, you can see it more easily with your soul eye." Pu Zitong nodded and said.
"Well, I know, by the way, I still have a question, I owe Zhong Tianli a few materials to Old Man Zhong before, including this high-grade soul crystal, I remember you said that once this high-grade soul crystal is broken, its soul power will be lost, so how can I make it not lose its soul power? I'm going to bring one to Old Man Zhong. Zhang Su remembered the previous transaction with Zhong Tianli and asked.
"You are stupid, there are so many soul crystal mines here, you can just find a high-grade soul crystal that is born separately and uproot it directly, but a high-grade soul crystal needs two soul grids to be loaded, and the soul grid in your storage horcrux may not be enough, after collecting the soul crystal beads later, you go dig one, and I will help you take it out." Pu Zitong responded with a smile.
"That's right, take the whole root, why didn't I think of it, okay, let's knock." Zhang Su smirked and scratched his head.
After the two finished speaking, they separately collected soul power, Zhang Su first took out the empty soul crystal bead from the storage watch, and then found a huge high-grade soul crystal, opened the body soul technique Xuan body stage, and knocked the crisp point of the soul crystal stone with his hand without leaking soul power, and suddenly with a force, the soul crystal was broken by the waist, and there was constantly pure soul power leaking out from it, Zhang Su hurriedly urged the soul crystal bead, guiding the soul crystal bead to absorb the soul power emanating from the soul crystal stone, and after a while, A soul crystal was absorbed by Zhang Su.
Pu Zitong also did the same thing as Zhang Su, finding the soul crystal, knocking it, and taking the soul, for a long time, the two of them were shuttling back and forth in the dark with the soul crystal bead ball, sweating profusely but excited.
One hour, two hours, three hours passed, Zhang Su and Pu Zitong kept changing the round ball in their hands during this interrupted time, until the third ball was almost collected, and then they slowed down their running speed a little.
"How much are you missing?" While collecting a soul crystal stone shaped like a sharp sword, Zhang Su asked Pu Zitong in a voice.
"The third one is less than a tenth off, and collecting one or two more will suffice, what about you?" Pu Zitong replied, and then asked.
“
I'm done with this collection. Zhang Su replied with a smile.
"Then you go and dig up a high-grade soul crystal that you can take with you first, and then we will leave after I have collected it again." Pu Zitong nodded and said.
"Okay, you get busy first, I'll look around to see if there is a single high-grade soul crystal." Zhang Su nodded, observed around the mine with his soul eye, and walked towards the inside of the mine. TV debut
"Oh, I'll go, it hurts me!" Zhang Su had just taken two steps into the mine when he tripped over something he didn't know what it was, and he fell to the ground at once.
"Shhhh Hearing Zhang Su's exclamation, Pu Zitong hurriedly reminded, and asked worriedly after reminding.
"It's okay, I just stumbled." Zhang Su quickly got up from the ground, patted the soil on his body, and replied with a wry smile. TVmobile/
"You open your soul eye and watch the road well, don't make any more noise!" When Pu Zitong heard that Zhang Su had tripped up, he showed a look of disdain on his face and reminded again.
"I looked at the road, I didn't see any stones under my feet, forget it, blame me for being careless, I'll pay attention." Zhang Su opened his soul eye to the extreme, looked towards the place where he tripped and stumbled, and indeed found nothing, and inadvertently felt a little strange, but he still apologized to Pu Zitong in a low voice.
Pu Zitong didn't pay attention to Zhang Su, and didn't continue to pay attention to Zhang Su, but turned his head and seriously collected the soul power in the soul crystal.
Zhang Su didn't find anything with his soul eye, so he squatted on the ground in confusion, tentatively touched the place where he tripped himself with his hand, touched it, and touched it, and touched a raised thing, although Zhang Su couldn't see the existence of that thing with his soul eye, but the touch in his hand didn't lie, he dug the thing out of the ground, held it on his chest, and tried to play with it with his hand.
After playing, Zhang Su only felt that it was a spherical stone, and curiously used the stele soul tuo to inject it to explore, not long after the soul power was injected, Zhang Su suddenly looked startled, and quickly put away the soul power, carefully put the thing into his storage watch, and then pretended to be nothing.
