Chapter Forty-Eight: Rock Steel
Lin Hao was very excited after learning that he was an animal trainer, and he kept asking the middle-aged man this and that, and before he knew it, the time of the night passed quietly, and when the sun sprinkled the entire forest again, the two extinguished the bonfire outside the cave and prepared to continue their respective trips. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"By the way, uncle, what are you doing when you come to this big forest alone?" Lin Hao asked.
"What else can you do in the depths of this forest? Naturally, it is to improve the strength of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Boy, unlike the edge of the forest, the Demon Beasts are still relatively easy to find. The middle-aged man said as he put the magic crystal stone into the space bag around his waist.
"Deep!?Where did the family with me go?"
"How do I know? Those people are a mess of strength, and they are of no use to me, so I don't care where they go. I guess I have returned, because the demonic beasts here are different from those beasts at the edge of the forest, and with their strength, they will definitely not come here, otherwise there will only be a dead end," the middle-aged man said.
Lin Hao was a little helpless after hearing this, thinking that the temperament of the uncle in front of him was really indifferent, he didn't take the safety of others seriously at all, and he didn't know where the Mu family was, I hope they have returned to Qinglin City as the uncle said, at least that is the safest.
"Where are you going, kid, out of the forest?" asked the middle-aged man.
"No, I was asked by an elder in my family to come here looking for something called 'rock steel', but I don't know where it is, so let's just wander around. β
"Yangang?That thing has to go a little deeper to find it, just by the way, I'll take you there, in addition, I really don't worry about you going deep alone, this big forest can basically be divided into three big rings, the outermost ring is the edge area, there are many beasts but few monsters, we are now on the outer edge of the middle ring, and there are more monsters here. My destination is the innermost ring, and the location of the rock steel should be in the middle of the ring now, which is still more dangerous for you. β
Lin Hao was a little embarrassed and a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect Lin Hang to let him go to such a deep place to help him find Yangang, or did Lin Hang himself not know where Yangang was?
"Uncle, you said you were going to the most central part, it must be super dangerous, right? In this way, you must be very strong?" Lin Hao asked with interest.
"I said, don't inquire about my affairs, if there is fate, you will know later. β
Hearing this answer again, Lin Hao couldn't help but pout, thinking to himself what's the big deal, this uncle is nothing more than a person from a big family, or a person from a certain family in another city, but his identity is a little more noble, such as an elder or the like, and he hasn't seen a person of the level of an elder or a family head, as for being so mysterious!
In this way, the two walked together without saying a word, and after walking for a whole morning, they came to a rocky area, the mountains here are earthy yellow, and there are few plants on them, Lin Hao looked into the distance, the peaks of the mountains rose and fell, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance.
"This abrupt mountain range is the dividing line, and beyond the mountain, you enter the innermost ring of the great forest, and it is also the place where many powerful and strange beasts live. The middle-aged man looked at the top of the mountain in the distance and said slowly.
"Really, I really want to see it!"
"Haha, your current strength is still far behind, you may not live for half a day if you go in, so let's wait until you become stronger, and then go and have a look." β
"Really, uncle, you are too underestimated!" Lin Hao said disdainfully.
"I didn't underestimate you, what I said is true, it's far more terrifying than you think...."The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes as if he was recalling something painful.
"Let's not talk about this for now, uncle, where is the rock steel I need?" Lin Hao asked interrupting the middle-aged man's thoughts.
"It's the mountain range in front of you, if you look closely, there will be a lot of rock-colored substances, but they are actually metal, and that is rock steel. β
After listening to this, Lin Hao hurriedly trotted all the way to the bottom of the mountain, he touched the earthy yellow mountains and rocks with his hands, it didn't take long, sure enough, the palm of his hand felt a trace of coldness when he touched a "rock", he took a closer look, this "rock" is about the size of a football, the surface has a faint layer of metallic luster, it is very perfectly embedded in the gap of several boulders, if you don't look closely, you really can't see that this is actually a metal substance.
"Great! I finally found it!" Lin Hao excitedly took out the rock steel from the gap, and then put it into the space bag around his waist.
"There is a lot of rock steel here, if you want, you can find more, after all, in the nearby Qinglin City, no one can enter here to collect rock steel. The middle-aged man suddenly said to the side.
After listening to this, Lin Hao thought to himself, yes, the Lin family is known as the number one family in Qinglin City, and they can't even enter the middle ring, this rock steel must be very popular in Qinglin City, since you are here, don't let it go, take as much as you can! So he began to walk slowly along the mountain range, carefully searching for each piece of rock steel, in fact, the number of rock steel here is really a lot, walking for more than an hour, Lin Hao has collected a full space bag, which can be described as a bumper harvest.
"Hehe, in this way, the family heads and elders must be very happy!" Lin Hao touched the bulging space bag and said to himself.
The middle-aged man heard Lin Hao's words on the side, and a subtle smile appeared on his face, the young man in front of him was not very old, but he still had a sense of family consciousness, usually after a person got so many sought-after goods, he would definitely think of taking them back and selling them, and make a lot of money, but Lin Hao only thought of his own family, which is really commendable.
"Okay, now that you got what you want, then go back early, I'm going to enter the center of the forest behind the mountain range, you must not make too much movement on the way, so as not to be discovered by the demonic beasts, although your strength can barely cope with it, but this is the interior of the big forest, there are a lot of demonic beasts, and it is still very dangerous." β
"Well, thank you uncle for the past two days, I hope to see you again in the future!"
After Lin Hao finished speaking with a smile, he waved his hand to the middle-aged man, and prepared to return to Qinglin City the same way, but when he just turned around and was about to leave, a string of wolf howls suddenly came from not far away, hearing this sound, Lin Hao's hair stood up all of a sudden, and the wolf howl was rough and powerful, which was obviously different from the howl of ordinary wolves, he was no longer familiar with it, this sound was definitely made by the black devil wolf!
"How.... What's going on!?Have we been discovered by the black devil wolf? This is not good, the black devil wolf is usually looking for prey in groups, what should we do, uncle?"
"What are you panicking about? A group of black devil wolves scared you like this? Teach you another trick, the profession of beast trainer, because it has a lot of relationship with strange beasts, so it has a strong soul perception that other professions do not have, just like the wolf's sense of smell and the eyes of an eagle. When encountering this situation, don't mess with yourself, let your mind enter your spiritual realm, assimilate the breath of the spiritual realm with the breath of this world, and exude the power of the soul, so that you can feel some of the surrounding situations. β
After speaking, the middle-aged man slowly closed his eyes, Lin Hao looked at him, and also learned to use the power of the soul to feel the surrounding situation, this test is really as the middle-aged man said, many things around him that he usually don't notice at all are reflected in his own spiritual world, the ants on the trunk are busy carrying food, the worms in the big underground are trying to eat the soil, the fall of a dead leaf, the withering of a flower, are all vividly and vividly perceived by themselves.
But I don't know if it's because his beast tamer level is too low, Lin Hao has never been able to find the source of the black wolf's howl, so he had to open his eyes and wait for the middle-aged man's conclusion.
"About a kilometer away, there were two very weak people, and a group of very weak black devil wolves, and there seemed to be a fight. The middle-aged man said suddenly.
"The black devil wolf attacked humans, so what are you waiting for?, let's hurry up and save them!" Lin Hao hurriedly said.
"This.... All right. The middle-aged man paused and said, "But I won't make a move unless I have to, you try to rely on your own strength, just enough to raise your beast tamer level." β
"How can I do that, uncle!? I can't deal with a group of black wolves!"
"Hey, I really don't like to be nosy, but since you kid is kind to me, I definitely won't watch you get hurt, and when you really can't solve it, I'll naturally help you, just go and fight. β
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, although Lin Hao was still half-convinced, he didn't know how he could help, but he still chose to believe it, because through the two days of getting along, Lin Hao felt that this middle-aged man was not an ordinary person, and he had the courage to go to the central area of the forest behind the mountain range by himself, and he was looking for death without two brushes. So Lin Hao stopped talking nonsense, and moved forward at full speed in the direction indicated by the middle-aged man, although he knew that there might be danger, but out of instinct, he would not do anything that would not be saved.
After running wildly for more than ten minutes, Lin Hao finally arrived at a small plateau near the battlefield, he looked down, and saw that it was a U-shaped valley, with vertical mountain cliffs tens of meters high on three sides, and only one side could lead to the big forest, but the road to life was blocked by a group of black devil wolves, Lin Hao took a cursory look, there were about a dozen, which couldn't help but make his scalp tingle, if there were only one or two, he could also deal with it, because he didn't find the figure of the black devil wolf king in the wolf pack, but he couldn't stand the large number of the other partyγ
Looking at the side of confrontation with the black wolf, there are more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, and I don't know how long they have been dead, some of their bodies have begun to rot, emitting an unpleasant smell, and in front of those corpses, there are two people standing, one of them is an old man in a red ** mage robe, with a gray beard, who looks to be in his sixties, he is holding a magic staff in his hand, it seems that he has cast some enchantment near the two, at this time he frowned, out of breath, it is obvious that there is not much mana left in his body.
And when Lin Hao saw the other person, he couldn't help but tremble all over, and unconsciously shouted out the name that made him think about it: "Moying!?"
