Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Black Bat Mine
"There's a new mission again?" Li Chen was a little surprised, "Is this task still quite frequent in the system?" ”
System: "This is so that the host can survive the novice period in case anything happens." After the host completes the first stage of the quest and has basic self-protection ability and basic clan strength, the system will greatly reduce the number of quests issued. ”
"Greatly reduced?" Li Chen muttered these words in his mouth, his face aching a little, "In this way, I feel that the speed of my strength improvement will also be greatly reduced." ”
Almost every reward for the system tasks is a high-quality one, and if the number of tasks decreases in the future, he feels like he has to say goodbye to these treasures.
"The host should not forget the most important capabilities of the system. ”
"What ability?"
"Transform the will left behind in the universe and become a loyal host of your own tribesmen. ”
"This?" Li Chen was a little surprised, he thought that the most important thing was the function of releasing tasks.
But he is not to blame, he has never used this ability until now, and he doesn't know what the situation with this function is.
Li Chen thought for a moment, since the system said that this function was more important than the task function, could he understand it this way: this function of transforming the clan would bring him more benefits than the task reward?
What benefits will the Conversion Clan bring him?
Li Chen thought deeply.
After a while.
His eyes lit up.
I seem to know what the benefits are!
Calm down a little excited. No matter how high the benefits behind the transformation clan are, that is not the task now, and when you encounter the will suitable for transformation in the future, you will be excited.
Is it a good reward to split the mountain and upgrade the "Great Wilderness Demon Killing Stick"? This reward is good, although it does not directly improve his strength, but it can improve the strength of the entire tribe. The Mountain Splitter can also be used as another weapon of his.
This quest must be completed!
Thinking of the content of the task, he looked at Huyan.
"Brother Huyan, do you know where there is black iron?"
"Black-veined iron?" Hu Yan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head blankly.
"Black Iron... I've never heard of it... Wait!"
He frowned suddenly!
"I think I've heard the word before, but... It seems like a long time ago. ”
"A long time ago?"
Li Chen blinked. What the hell, is the system giving me a history question?
"Yes. Huyan grinded his chin, "I should have heard it before." ”
"Well, let's go to the old priest and ask him, for although he is old, he remembers some things of the past very well, and he often tells us stories about the past. ”
Hu Yan thought about it and said to Li Chen.
Li Chen nodded, and then went to find Teacher Zhou with Hu Yan.
The two asked others and learned that Teacher Zhou was now teaching students in the newly built stone house.
Li Chen's face showed curiosity, and then he and Huyan came to the newly built stone house.
Squeak~
The wooden door opens gently.
Li Chen and Hu Yan stuck their heads out of the crack in the door and looked curiously into the room.
It was a stone house of 7 or 80 square meters, much larger than any stone house in the tribe, but it was not a large area compared to the people in the house, because it was already full of people.
In addition to the normal teenagers of about 7 or 8 to 18 years old, there are also seven or eight middle-aged strong men in their thirties and forties, and even a few women who are holding babies to sleep.
"This plant is called the Blood Lotus, and you see, its petals are red, and its stems are slender and its roots are many. ”
"It has a distinct feature, look closely at the lines on its petals..... Well, yes, it's this wavy pattern, if you recognize them, plus other features, then it's almost a blood lotus......"
"This blood lotus, after mashing it, it can stop the bleeding and heal the wound, and the time is about ......."
At the front of everyone, the priest grandfather, that is, Teacher Zhou, was concentrating on explaining a blood-red plant in his hand.
Li Chen and Hu Yan glanced at each other, walked in from outside the door with light steps, and then found a corner to stand there and listen to the lecture with the full house of clansmen.
"Wow~"
"That's right!"
"I'm going to look for it after class. ”
The students present were extremely curious about Teacher Zhou's lecture, and even Li Chen, a traverser, and Hu Yan, a reckless man, listened to it with relish.
About half an hour passed.
"Alright, folks, that's all for this time, let's rest, and I'll let you know when I'm ready for the next lecture. ”
The old priest looked at the crowd in front and said with a smile on his face.
Everyone looked at each other, and they were a little unsatisfied, but they also knew that they couldn't work too the old man, so they all stood up one after another.
"Thank you, Priestess. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. ”
"Thank you, priest. ”
"Goodbye, Grandpa!"
......
"Goodbye, everybody. ”
"Eh, goodbye children~"
Old Zhou stroked his beard and said goodbye to everyone with a smile on his face.
After everyone gradually dispersed, he found Li Chen and Hu Yan with a smile on their faces in the corner.
"Huh?"
He was stunned for a moment, then walked over with a smile on his face.
"Patriarch, Huyan, when did you come?"
"We?"
Li Chen and Hu Yan glanced at each other, shook their heads and chuckled.
"We're new to the city, too. ”
"Grandpa Zhou, it's very happy to see you smiling, doesn't it feel good to be a teacher?"
Li Chen said to Teacher Zhou with a smile.
After Teacher Zhou heard Grandpa Zhou in Li Chen's mouth, the smile on his face deepened.
He stroked his beard again, his eyes narrowed, and a big smile appeared on his face.
"It feels good!"
"It feels really good!"
He was very emotional.
"I never thought it would be so good to teach others what I know and watch them grow. ”
"I knew what kind of priest I was going to be, so I would have left this position early and become a teacher. ”
"Look at those kids, look at their young appearance, with them, I feel like I'm a lot younger hahaha. ”
When he said this, the wrinkles on his face were full of laughter, and his eyes were also radiant, how could he look like an old man.
Li Chen and Hu Yan were very happy to see that this old man, who had devoted almost his life to the tribe, could be so happy now.
After chatting with Grandpa Zhou for a while, he said directly to the two of them with a smile.
"Tell me something, you two should have something to do. ”
Li Chen and Hu Yan's eyes widened slightly, but they nodded quickly.
Li Chen asked the question again.
"Black Stone?" Grandpa Zhou stroked his beard, "I did hear it." ”
"Let me think about it. ”
The two naturally didn't dare to disturb when they heard this.
After a while.
"Oh, I remember!"
Grandpa Zhou's eyes lit up.
"Isn't this black stone the same thing as the black bat cave? ”
"Black Bat Cave?" Li Chen was a little puzzled, but Huyan beside him trembled.
"It's a black bat cave!"
There was a frightened expression on his face, obviously remembering something under Grandpa Zhou's reminder.
"Yes! ”
Grandpa Zhou nodded.
"This black bat cave was called the Black Bat Mine Cave more than 20 years ago, and the original name more than 40 years ago was the Black Bat Mine Cave. ”
"At that time, I was a young man. ”
Grandpa Zhou looked at the sunshine outside the door and sighed again.
A lad from more than forty years ago?
Li Chen sweated a little, but he didn't feel anything wrong, because Grandpa Zhou was now approaching the age of 80.
"Then why did he change his name to Black Bat Cave?"
Li Chen asked.
"I'm going to have to take my time. ”
Grandpa Zhou is ready to tell the old story.
