Chapter 18: The Iron Mountain of Crystals
Old Tom and Li Zhong quickly shuttled through the forest, under the dim fluorescent light, the forest was beautiful, but also a little eerie, Old Tom kept watching the position of the two people on the locator, and on the other hand, he kept observing the surrounding situation, very familiar with the road.
Lee Jong followed him, guarding Old Tom's back from a sneak attack, while also learning from Old Tom's experience.
At this moment, a foot-long black shadow flashed from the corner of Li Zhong's eyes and rushed towards him.
The multi-functional saber in Li Zhong's right hand flashed, and a flash of bright light flashed, and the cold sword light instantly split the black shadow that rushed in half from head to toe.
The black shadow fell to the ground, and there was a convulsion, and only then did Li Zhong see clearly that it was an eight-clawed spider, with a colorful body, and it was the best protective color in this forest shrouded in faint multicolored light.
At this time, Old Tom noticed the spider corpse at Li Zhong's feet, and was immediately startled and said: "My God, this is the Black Death Star, this is the most poisonous poison in this jungle, one milligram can poison hundreds of people, and many people have been under its mouth, this is a good thing." ”
Old Tom immediately took out a syringe from his backpack, and at the same time dissected the one-foot-sized spider with a saber, dug out the poison sac, and then sucked out the toxins from it.
After the poison was sucked dry, Old Tom packed the toxin in a test tube, put it in his backpack, turned to Li Zhong and said, "Let's go, let's go to the iron mine first, there is an iron mountain tree there, and collect our next medicinal herb." ”
Li Zhong and the others were not slow down, and soon came to a black land, and after coming here, the surrounding scenery changed, the ground was no longer soft earth, but a fast and hard crystal rock, full of a desolate atmosphere.
Old Tom said to Li Zhong: "This should be the iron mine, originally this was a place to mine iron ore before the cataclysm, and then because of the advent of dark matter, the subway mine here underwent a mutation, generating a kind of crystal iron, which is a substance that can be used for alchemy, and there is an iron mountain tree growing on it, the iron mountain tree is composed of black crystal, which is very magical, but it is a plant." ”
Old Tom took Li Zhong to walk through the iron mine, and there were crystals all around here, and the hazy brilliance reflected from the crystals was very gorgeous.
The two soon came to the depths of the iron mine, and at this time, crystal trees appeared in front of them.
Old Tom continued: "This is the Iron Mountain Tree, which used to be a tree that grew on top of iron ore and had a lot of iron content, but now it has changed greatly, its seeds contain a magical substance, which can be used and can quickly replenish the body's energy. ”
Li Zhong nodded, he had a preliminary understanding of this Iron Mountain Tree, and looking at the black crystal tree, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.
The two came to the Iron Mountain Tree, and Old Tom said to Li Zhong: "Okay, you go and collect medicine, there is no danger here, it's very easy, but the next medicinal herb is not so simple, you have to take some risks." ”
Li Zhong came to the Iron Mountain Tree alone, stretched out his right hand and touched the surface of the Iron Mountain Tree, and suddenly a cold feeling spread to his body, a cold texture belonging to rock metal.
Li Zhong looked at the ten-meter-tall Iron Mountain Tree, shook his head, and then began to climb.
However, Li Zhong immediately found that this iron mountain tree was very bright, and it took a lot of effort to climb it.
A smile flashed at the corner of Li Zhong's mouth, and he said secretly: "Let's use the gecko skill." ”
Li Zhong's body shape changed, as if he was incarnated as a gecko, and the regular movement of his muscles began to climb up in the glorious Iron Mountain Tree Mountain, but he climbed to the top in the blink of an eye.
Li Zhong gently climbed on top of a branch, waved his hand to remove the round seeds with small and sharp thorns, threw them into the storage bag, and quickly picked hundreds of seeds.
After Li Zhong finished everything, he jumped down from the branch lightly, returned to Old Tom's side, and said, "Old Tom is done, where are we going next?" ”
Old Tom looked at Li Zhong with a strange face at this time and said: "Li Zhong boy, what is your weird climbing kung fu, how did you climb the Iron Mountain Tree so quickly, you must know that inexperienced people can't do it, and they climbed to the top of the Iron Mountain Tree in one fell swoop." ”
When Li Zhong heard this, he smiled lightly and said: "It's just a gecko kung fu, which is specially suitable for climbing dangerous places, but this kung fu is very demanding, and the muscles of the whole body must be trained to stretch freely, and ordinary people can't use it, if you are interested, I can teach you, but it takes a year and a half to lay a good foundation." ”
Old Tom hurriedly shook his head when he heard this: "Forget it, old man, I'm already very old, but I can't stand the toss, I have my own way, let's go to the mine cave of the iron mine next." ”
Li Zhong nodded, and then walked with Old Tom towards the depths of the iron mine.
The two soon came to the center of the iron mine, which was deserted and inhabited, and there was not a single life to be seen except for the light reflected by the crystal, only the iron mountain trees around.
A moment later, a cave appeared in front of the two of them, and Old Tom said to Li Zhong: "Li Zhong boy, take the charging gun, now we are going to enter the mine, there is our next target, the spar monster." ”
"The spar monster is not a simple monster, the whole body is composed of crystal iron on the iron ore, relying on a large number of bacterial colonies after the aggregation and evolution of the colony to give birth to life, it is a polymerized lifeform, it is very difficult to deal with, unless its core is dug out, it is completely impossible to hurt these monsters, a combat power comparable to a fifteenth level black warrior, you need to be very careful, and the charging gun can not play a role in killing with one hit, you have to pay special attention to this."
After explaining all the precautions, Old Tom led the way in front and led Li Zhong slowly towards the mine.
The cavern is overgrown with all kinds of glowing bacteria and mosses, and with the reflection of crystals, it is very bright, but the visibility still does not exceed tens of meters.
However, the two of them came to a fork in the road after a dozen meters, and old Tom immediately took out his saber and made a mark on the cave wall, so as not to get lost, and he was familiar with the road, and it seemed that he didn't know how many times he had done it.
The two of them soon passed through five or six forks in the road in succession, and came to the place of a huge hollow, and old Tom and Li Zhong did not rush out, but hid at the edge of the exit, watching the scene in the cave.
Li Zhong saw it, and was immediately shocked, only to see that this was a huge cave, more than a dozen crystal-like monsters with a height of three meters walked in this cave, very leisurely, from time to time grabbed a crystal iron ore and threw it into his mouth, after chewing, the crystal sticker was chewed into powder, swallowed.
