More than a dozen people dressed in grassland costumes sat nearby, except for an old man, the rest of them were all big-shouldered and round-waisted, with strong physiques, and long knives and hard bows on their backs.

After pondering for a while, Li Fan found a stone, sat next to the felt mat, and while looking at the things on the felt mat, he said tentatively: "You have come here thousands of miles away, you won't just sell these few pieces of bits and pieces, it's not enough for the travel expenses!"

Hearing this, the old man opened his eyes and looked Li Fan up and down, gave the thin man a look, and continued to close his eyes to recuperate.

When the thin man saw the old man's prompt, he leaned over and said, "What does the little brother want to buy?"

Li Fan looked at these grassland people carefully, and said in a roundabout way:

"You're here to find something, aren't you? Although I live in the town, I often go out of town to run errands, and there is nothing more familiar with the things within a radius of a few hundred miles than I am. ”

Hearing this, the old man opened his eyes again, looked at Li Fan carefully, and said kindly: "Little brother, why do you think that we are here to find something?"

"I've seen a lot of grassland people who come here to set up stalls, and their stalls are full of old, weak, women and children. Li Fan said bluntly as he stared into the old man's eyes.

The old man remained silent, thought for a while and said, "Little brother, what do you think we are looking for?"

Li Fan didn't make a sound, took the big wolf tooth necklace just now from the thin man's hand, and tried to play with it: "Are you here to find some local specialties?"

The old man looked at Li Fan intently, did not answer his question, and after a while, he slowly opened his mouth and asked: "Little brother, you don't want to buy a wolf tooth necklace, do you have something to do with us?"

The old man's reaction was expected by Li Fan, so Li Fan said unhurriedly: "You want to find local specialties, I want to find grassland specialties, how about everyone help each other?"

The old man lowered his head and pondered for a while, and muttered: "Little brother, we grassland people are more straightforward, what local specialties can you provide, and what do you need us to help you find, can you explain?"

Li Fan looked at the old man's expression, and said lightly: "Old man, since I have already made it clear, I won't hide it from you, I want to find the purple squirt that is a specialty of the grassland, what about you?"

When the old man heard the word "purple horse", he laughed:

"I guess too, this kind of specialty on the grassland is very useful in your Central Plains, many people want to find it, in this case, I also made it clear, we need the special product of the coal city mine, and we brought some things with us to exchange, including a large piece of purple smelt, I didn't expect the people in the local mine to be arrogant and look down on a few of us...... Little brother, do you have a dark crystal?"

When Li Fan heard that the other party did have purple squarts, he was very happy in his heart, and said: "There is indeed a black crystal in the mine, but it is very small, it is difficult to get it, I will try to think of a way, give me three days, or here, you bring purple squirrels here!"

The old man nodded in agreement, and then took the steppe man to put away the stall and left.

After Li Fan saw them leaving, he went to the parking lot across the road to start his BMW and went straight to a remote path outside the mine.

I parked the car in a dense forest clearing on the side of the road, took advantage of the darkness to come to the mine wall, climbed a giant tree, carefully observed the situation in the mine with night vision infrared binoculars, and recorded it with a notebook while watching.

Two hours later, Li Fan drove back to his home and carefully planned in his room according to the situation observed tonight.

After recuperating for a day, the next night, Li Fan changed into a black tights, brought a black cloth hood with two holes cut and other necessary tools, did not drive, took a motorcycle to the vicinity of the mine, and after getting out of the car, he took advantage of the night to come to the woods outside the mine wall.

Wrapping his head in a black cloth and revealing only his two eyes, Li Fan climbed a tall tree and observed the situation in the mine with monocular night vision binoculars.

After determining the position and field of view of the guards, Li Fan climbed over the fence after getting off the tree, quietly slipped into the power distribution room, cut a large section of the main power line, and the surroundings were suddenly dark.

After a panicked shout, the guards turned on the flashlights of their mobile phones and glanced around, at this time Li Fan had already taken the opportunity to sneak outside the temporary warehouse of the refining field, stunned the guards while it was dark, dragged them into the alley behind the warehouse, and found the warehouse key on him.

Looking left and right and seeing that no one noticed, Li Fan opened the warehouse with the key, slipped in and closed the warehouse door, opened the night vision goggles and looked around for the ink crystal.

At this time, a dark shadow in the corner of the wall slowly approached Li Fan.

While looking for it, Li Fan looked around suspiciously, the laxity of the warehouse guards was indeed a little unexpected to him, the guards outside were running around, but none of them entered the warehouse to check, could it be ......

It was too late to say that it was too fast, and just when Li Fan was suspicious, a black shadow the size of a rugby ball suddenly jumped out of the darkness and took a bite at Li Fan's calf.

Li Fan, who was already suspicious, was alert, and as soon as the black shadow approached, he immediately dodged and hid aside.

The shadow leapt into the air and disappeared into the darkness.

Li Fan hurriedly retreated to the corner, pulled out his black sword, and kept scanning the surroundings with night vision goggles.

What the hell is that, if it weren't for my speed, I wouldn't have been able to dodge...... It's about the same size as a cat, so it can't be some monster raised by Ding Feng, right?

The wires on the outside will be repaired soon, time is running out, what to do?

While Li Fan was quietly thinking about countermeasures, a mouse the size of a rugby ball appeared in the night vision goggles, slowly approaching Li Fan against the wall.

Looking at the approaching giant rat, Li Fan's brain was running rapidly.

It turned out to be a giant rat, no wonder the people outside didn't come in, with this guy watching, there was no need to worry about the things in the warehouse being stolen, Ding Feng really had a set!

This giant rat is very fast, so I'll compete with it to test my speed!

Thinking of this, Li Fan took a deep breath, condensed the strength of his whole body into his limbs, and waited for the giant rat with momentum.

The giant rat was still slowly approaching Li Fan, as if he didn't know that Li Fan had discovered it, and suddenly jumped over when it was about two meters away from Li Fan's calf.

Li Fan calculated the time, and the black sword in his right hand immediately met it.

When the giant rat saw the black sword stabbing at him, he stopped sharply, turned around and ran.

Li Fan had already expected that the first blow might not be hit, so he immediately chased after it with all his might.

A man and a rat scurried around the warehouse.

After more than ten minutes, the speed of the giant rat decreased slightly, and Li Fanti tried his best to maintain his speed, and gradually, approached the giant rat.

When passing through the gap between the two stacks of containers, Li Fan calculated the time, exerted his force violently, and his speed increased instantly, and the black sword in his right hand stabbed towards the back of the giant rat.

The giant rat couldn't dodge left and right, so he could only dodge forward desperately, and after all, it was a little late, and the spine on his back was stabbed off by the black sword, and he continued to run a few steps, slowly stopped, and remained motionless

Seeing that the giant rat was not moving, Li Fan observed the guards outside the window, and when he saw that no one was coming, he turned around and continued to look for the ink crystal.

Finally, in the corner of a small cabinet, a ceramic jar was found, which contained three apple-sized pieces of refined crystallized scarl.

Li Fan quickly packed the ink crystal in the plastic bag he brought and put it in his backpack, and slipped out of the mine while it was night.

The next day, in the warehouse of the mine, Ding Feng looked at the giant rat that died on the ground with a gloomy face, and the guards around him stood quietly, and no one dared to make a sound.

After a while, Ding Feng asked, "Didn't the surveillance capture anything?"

"No, the power is out, the monitoring is off...... "A technician wearing a hard hat replied tremblingly.

"Before the power outage, didn't you take pictures at the door of the power distribution room?" Ding Feng glanced at the technician fiercely.

"Match ...... The power distribution room is relatively remote, and it is not the main entrance and exit, and there are no cameras......" The technician lowered his head, avoiding Ding Feng's knife-like gaze.

"Stupid! I don't have surveillance in such an important place, I'm going to feed you! Get out of here! Don't let me see you again!" As soon as the words fell, the technician was kicked out.

In the evening, Li Fan exchanged a piece of ink crystal with the grassland people for a large piece of purple stalk, and went back satisfied.

While waiting for the delivery of carbon purchased online, Li Fan began to study the rocky valley in the primeval forest south of the coal city, looking for the exact excavation site of Heiyantie.

After collecting information for a few days, Li Fan found that the primeval forest in the south of the coal city was quite terrifying, and there were often giant wolves near the Rocky Valley.

I've practiced some beasts about the size of a giant wolf in the previous paragraph, and it's no problem with my bare hands, not to mention that there is a black sword now......

Thinking of this, Li Fan no longer hesitated.

After a day of preparation, on a sunny morning, Li Fan put on the high-grade body armor he had just bought, brought all the equipment and supplies, rode a motorcycle, and drove out of the city from the south, heading all the way in the direction of the Rocky Valley.

Located in the heart of the primeval forest south of Coal City, the valley is about five days away, and there are few people in the forest except for a few huts built by hunters.

Li Fan had never been to such a sinister and desolate place, and while driving a motorcycle at a gallop, he glanced around with a twelve-point spirit.

The first three days were uneventful, but on the evening of the fourth day, Li Fan found a long-abandoned log cabin on a small hill.

Parking the motorcycle under the eaves, Li Fan pushed the door in and looked around.

I saw that only half of the roof remained, and there was a big hole in the back wall, and only the corner near the right side of the door could barely shelter from the wind and rain.

Li Fan took out the tent and put it in the corner, took out the prepared animal repellent net to seal the big holes in the roof and back wall, and then took out the kerosene stove and a small pot to cook food.

At this moment, a loud roar was heard in the distance.

What is this sound?

Li Fan suddenly became nervous, turned off the kerosene stove and horse lamp, covered the pot again, and took out the black sword and put it on his back.

As soon as he was cleaned up, another loud roar came, this time closer than before.

Li Fan felt bad, so he hurriedly walked out of the wooden house, found a towering giant tree nearby and climbed up.

Not long after climbing the tree, I saw a huge monster more than ten meters long coming out of the dense forest opposite, probably looking like a lizard, but with a high dorsal fin, four sharp claws with webbing in the middle, a huge mouth with a sharp tooth, holding a dead bear, slowly walked to a grass under the mountain, lay there and began to eat the dead bear.

Seeing this scene, Li Fan was taken aback.

This is the legendary fish lizard! How did it run to the hinterland of the coal city forest? Such a large fish lizard is so rare that it is estimated to be the head lizard of the fish lizard group, could it be that there are other lizards nearby? It is dangerous to be targeted by the lizard group......

The big fish lizard lay on its stomach in the grass, gnawing on the dead bear, and from time to time looking around with alert eyes.

Suddenly, the big fish lizard raised its head, sniffed around in the air, seemed to smell something special, stood up and climbed towards the mountain bag, Li Fan in the tree saw this, and quickly lowered his figure.

Walking to the wooden house, the big fish lizard stopped and sniffed around the motorcycle under the eaves, seemingly liking the smell of gasoline on the motorcycle.

After a few sniffs, the big fish lizard threw away half of the dead bear, grabbed the motorcycle and played with it.

In a few moments, the motorcycle was dismantled by the fish lizard, parts and wheels were thrown everywhere, and the fuel tank was flattened.

The fish lizard sniffed and licked the gasoline on the ground, and after enjoying it for a while, it looked up at the cabin.

Seeing that the luggage and equipment in the cabin were about to be destroyed again, Li Fan couldn't sit still, jumped off the tree, ran to the edge of the woods on the other side, grabbed a stone and threw it at the fish lizard.

The fish lizard was about to climb into the cabin when it was hit in the back by a rock.

The alert fish lizard immediately turned around and saw Li Fan at the edge of the woods at a glance, and with a roar, the fish lizard rushed towards Li Fan.

Seeing this, Li Fan turned around and ran into the woods, using his speed to whirl around with the fish lizard.

The fish lizard tried his best, but he couldn't catch Li Fan, and he had already gone berserk and beat the giant trees to the ground.

Seeing that the ground around him was open and there was no terrain to use, Li Fan turned around and ran towards a canyon in the distance, and the fish lizard behind him chased after him with red eyes.

It was already completely dark, and a man and a lizard entered the strange rocky canyon one after another.

Li Fan put on night vision goggles while running, looking around, thinking about how to get out.

The fish lizard gradually slowed down its pursuit, hesitated a little, sniffed the air from time to time, and finally stopped in front of a large rock, and looked nervously around.

Seeing that the fish lizard stopped pursuing, Li Fan was puzzled for a while, and curiously hid behind the big rock to observe the fish lizard.

After a moment's pause, the fish lizard sniffed the air again, seemed to be a little frightened, and turned and ran away the way it came. Li Fan saw that the fish lizard was so panicked, and he also felt bad in his heart.

Could it be that there is something more powerful in this canyon than a fish lizard...... Be on the safe side, I'll go back the way I came!

Thinking of this, Li Fan hurriedly came out from behind the stone and retreated along the original path with all his might.

It didn't take long for Li Fan to hear a roar from the fish lizard not far in front of him, and he was about to take a detour to dodge, but found that there were many green points of light in the night around him.
