Chapter Forty-Three: It's Finally Here
CHAPTER XXIV
He Yan smiled bitterly How can even this little thing begin to know that it is calling me, He Yan walked over and raised the knife in his hand, and the dragon rhino horn was neatly cut off by He Yan. The length of this dragon rhino horn is almost as long as that of a little ferret, the length of an adult's arm, and the thick milky smell emanating from the incision makes even Sugar Heart swallow his saliva.
The little ferret picked up the horn of the dragon rhino and motioned for He Yan to cut it into three pieces, and He Yan did so again, dividing the horn of the dragon rhino into three equal parts. The three stages of spirit rhino horns on the ground, the little ferret took a closer look, pushed the middle part in the direction of the sugar heart, and pushed the thickest part of the root to He Yan, and finally put the sharpest head under his claws, which could not be clearer. He Yan and Tangxin were also speechless in shock from it, what kind of animal IQ can be so high, and he still knows how to divide things! This guy is like a goblin who went to a certain immortal to steal the elixir and failed.
"Do you mean the three of us for a while?" He Yan asked the little ferret tentatively, and the little ferret nodded its little head.
After dividing the horns of the dragon rhino, the little ferret ran to the big head of the dragon rhino and patted it, and He Yan went straight to the knife without asking. Gollum rolled out a white bead from the dragon's rhinoceros, and the little ferret put it in He Yan's hand like a treasure.
"For me?" He Yan looked at the little ferret suspiciously, but he didn't need to ask, but still nodded.
"Xiaoxue said it was your trophy. Sugar Heart explained.
"Who is Xiaoxue?" said Sugar Heart, He Yanyun Mountain was covered in fog.
"That's it, it says it's your trophy. Sugarheart explained as she pointed to the ferret.
"Huh, can you understand it?" He Yan wondered even more.
"I don't know, but I can understand what it means. "Can Sugar Heart understand the beast language? I guess there will be no results if I ask again.
Put the beads in the dragon rhino head, He Yan was just about to put the dragon rhino horn into the bag, and saw that the dragon rhino horn that Tangxin was holding her had already eaten.
Who peeled off the hard shell on the outside of the dragon rhino horn for her? Hurriedly stopped her from continuing to eat, He Yan felt deep regret in his heart, how could it be good to have an accident with this food!
Look at the troublesome little ferret again, it has already started to eat over there, the hard shell outside the dragon rhino horn is not difficult for the little ferret at all, its sharp teeth are like peeling bamboo shoots, easily torn apart, and eaten with a click, it looks very delicious. Now I understand that the dragon rhino horn of Sugar Heart must have been skinned by it.
"Brother Yan, hurry up and eat, it's delicious, Xiaoxue is almost finished. Seeing that He Yan didn't eat it, Sugar Heart urged.
"Candy Heart, this little ferret can eat it, but we may not be able to eat it. He Yan was tempting.
Tangxin knew what He Yan meant, "Don't worry, Brother Yan, Xiaoxue said that many powerful people eat this, and it won't be poisonous or dangerous." ”
He Yan had a kind of blind trust in the words of the sugar heart, it said that if it could be eaten, it would definitely be able to eat, and He Yan used a knife to peel off the hard shell of the dragon rhino horn and eat it. The taste is fresh, crunchy, smells like creamy chocolate, and has an avocado aroma in the mouth.
After eating the dragon rhino horn, he picked up the sugar heart and set out again on the road to find Ziling and his party, and of course, the little snow on He Yan's shoulder.
After chasing and fleeing with Long Xi, He Yan has completely 'can't find the north'.
Yinlong Town is directly south of Yinyue Mountain, and after crossing the bridge, He Yan kept walking north until he met Longxi. I can only take one step at a time. I looked at the sun and found a general direction to go on the road.
After more than half a day's trek, He Yan and Tangxin finally found the road, and finding the road means that they can find the army.
The roads in the mountains are built by the mountains and go around the mountains, and most of them dig a road in the middle of the mountainside, so most of the roads are attached to the mountain wall on one side and the cliff on the other side, and you will accidentally step into the abyss. There are also tunnels that pass through the mountains and scenic mountain roads.
Fortunately, the road in the Yinyue Mountain mining area is not long, winding along the road, when walking through a tunnel, the peak loop suddenly opens up, and the end of the spiraling road is the Yinyue Mountain mining area that He Yan has been looking for, and the sky is already full of red glow at this time.
The mining area is in the col at the end of the road, looking at the mining area from a distance, He Yan always feels that something is wrong, but he can't say what is wrong.
It is said to be a mining area, but it does not look big on the surface, and in the middle of the mining area is a spacious platform that leads to this platform at the end of the road. Standing on the platform, He Yan finally knew that something was wrong, it was a sound, there was no sound, there was no sound of birds and beasts, no sound of people walking or talking, and no roaring machine sound in He Yan's trance memory, quiet and terrifying, quiet and could hear his own heartbeat.
The platform is square and faces the water on three sides, only one side is directly connected to the road, and two sides have warehouses. The entrance to the mine is on the opposite side of the small lake, directly opposite the warehouse, and you have to take a boat to get there. There are no boats to walk around the edge of the small curved lake that surrounds the platform, near the side of the cliff. The small lake is about five kilometers long and nearly three kilometers wide, the water surface is unusually calm without a trace of ripples, standing here is like entering a world where time stands still, everything is frozen in a moment by some kind of force, and the reflection of the mountains and plants in the water is like a reversed world, the positive and negative worlds are difficult to distinguish between the real and the false, which seems extremely strange.
The boats used to transport goods in the lake are parked at the entrance to the mine, and perhaps the army has entered the mine!
It is definitely not possible to go back, not to mention the demonic beasts in Yinlong Town, even if you encounter a dragon rhino on the road, He Yan's injury is not healed, and the two of them plus a small ferret are only given for nothing. Now there are only two paths left, either wait for the army to return from the mines, or try your luck in the mines. After much deliberation, He Yan decided to go into the mine to find the army, it was not He Yan's character to sit back and wait to be killed, and besides, what was so terrible about taking risks in dreams.
Seeing that it is not dark yet, eat a full stomach before entering the mine. Heat up the remaining dragon rhino meat and put it in the nutrient solution, which is also a very hearty dinner. He Yan didn't dare to drink the water in the small lake, the atmosphere here was very wrong, don't try the unknown water source easily.
Half an hour around the small lake, standing at the entrance of the mine, the mine is made of cement-like material, and the top of the cave is engraved with several large characters 'Yinyue No. 1 Mine Cave'. He Yan looked inside, the spacious passage stretched out diagonally, even the flying car could pass smoothly here, the street lights on both sides of the passage flashed this miserable white light, and there were railroad tracks near both sides of the wall under the street lamp, which should be operated by small mining carts dedicated to mining. I didn't expect the mining conditions here to be so rudimentary.
There is also a small mine cart on the railroad track on the left, He Yan checked that it can still be used, in order to save physical strength, it is better to take the car. He Yan boarded the small minecart with a sugar heart, saying that it was a small minecart, but it was actually not small, enough for five or six people to sit in it. Fasten the seat belt, release the brake, the small minecart slowly hit the road, as soon as the small minecart started, He Yan found that he had overlooked one thing, the small minecart itself did not have a power system and slid down completely by gravity, so what should I do when I and Sugar Heart came back? I didn't have time to regret it, I didn't turn back from the bow, and I found the army and said the next step.
He Yan was looking forward to the plot of the roller coaster in the film and television drama did not happen, and the small minecart was always very slow, and stopped after a long straight road and a few turns and downhills.
He Yan calculated, the small mine truck walked for fifty-eight minutes, nearly one hour, at a speed of about 60 kilometers per hour, the small mine truck really walked 60 kilometers, He Yan and their current position has entered the belly of the mountain.
A short distance forward after getting out of the car, there was also a small mine cart parked, looking at the traces of the wheels, it should have been driven in not long ago, and there were still a lot of ores scattered on the ground, these jet-black ores were obviously of no value. A short distance on, there were no street lights on the wall, maybe at the end of the mine, He Yan took down a lamp from the way he came, why was this street lamp not connected to the wires? Oh! He Yan almost forgot that there was no electricity in this world. Holding this lamp in his hand, He Yan was surprised to find that this lamp does not need any energy, it is a kind of luminous metal, it is estimated that there will not be any light in a place where there is sunlight, this kind of luminous metal is definitely not an ordinary thing, He Yan put a few more in his bag in case of emergency.
He Yan carried the candy heart on his back and continued to walk forward with the 'street lamp', walked more than a dozen steps The mine was blocked, He Yan went to the front and illuminated it with a lamp, it was the collapse of the pillars supporting the top of the cave around the mine due to disrepair and fracture, and then the walls of the mine cave have not been maintained for a long time, and there are even moss-like plants growing in some places, and so on for a long time without maintenance? Hasn't this mine been in production? Why is it in disrepair!
A guess came to mind, and He Yan was frightened by this guess, that is, 'this is not the mining area where the army is coming', so where is this? I haven't heard of a second mine!
He Yan took the lamp and shone it to the side again, and found a hole on the other side of the collapse of the mine, which was obviously due to the collapse of the mine. Next to the entrance of the cave lay a corpse, leaning diagonally against the entrance of the cave, it seemed that he should have died not long ago, according to the man's clothing, it could be seen that he was a sorcerer, and the yellow badge on his chest indicated that he was a third-level sorcerer.
There was only one wound, a large opening in the artery of the neck, and there were tooth marks on the uneven wound, could it be the work of the monster? There were still many footprints on the ground below the hole.
Could it be the army? This refers to the mine hole that fights east and west, which makes He Yan even more confused. Did you find the right one? There is no way to know, He Yan and Huazi continued to move forward. The short body burrowed through the cracked hole, and the further it went, the narrower it became, and finally it had to crawl through.
Sugar Heart followed He Yan closely, Sugar Heart did not show fear or irritability during the whole trip, she was very different from her peers, even in this narrow hole, Sugar Heart was extremely calm.
Just when He Yan was thinking wildly, he heard some voices in his ears, He Yan quickly climbed two steps, the hole has come to an end, came out of the hole, and illuminated the surroundings with a lamp, the hole that came out should not be excavated manually, but the wall here is made of bricks, and there are wall bricks, which proves that this is artificially built, and the lamp is used to shine around, the space is very large, and it is in the belly of the mountain, so the biggest possibility of this place is - ancient tomb.
