Chapter 435: Enchanting Wetland
"There is also information that Your Highness may be interested in. He Ting suddenly interrupted Luo Ming's thoughts, and lowered his voice somewhat mysteriously and said, "Between the southeast sea of the Eastern Saint Kingdom and our Duoguo fishing village, there is a very large and narrow area close to the sea, called the 'Enchanting Wetland'. There have always been three nine-tailed foxes living there, called Linghu Hua, Linghu Yan and Ling Hu Mei. They are the rulers of the eastern part of the Flood Desolation Region, and they are said to be good at all kinds of charm and evil arts, all of them have reached the late level of Xuantian Venerable, and they have strong combat effectiveness. Even some cultivators with relatively high Dao skills in the depths of the desolate wilderness did not dare to intrude into their realm at will. ”
"What does this have to do with me?" Luo Ming said with some confusion: "I still have a big battle to fight right away." ”
"The subordinates are just talking, please consider the value of this information. He Ting replied: "We heard the little monster who worked as a servant there inadvertently revealed: on that considerable area of land, there is a small Taihe iron ore mine and two super large Xuanyu iron ore mines, both of which have not been mined. Because the three sisters don't need these minerals. According to the mobs, the 'Enchanting Wetlands' are abundant, and it is likely that there are other minerals that have not been discovered. Since the three sisters were only obsessed with the cultivation of beauty and eternal youth and immortality, they had no interest in other materials that had nothing to do with these aspects. ”
"And it is said that they often go outside the realm to kidnap some male, uh, or male cultivators and bring them back, collect yin and replenish yang, and after sucking the essence and blood dry, they will cook and eat meat. It is the great devil who is the one who is the cause of evil, and it is also beneficial to eradicate their reputation with His Highness. It's just that you have to be careful, plan before you act. ”
He Ting seemed to be a little nagging, but Qin Tianzhu knew that his thoughts were reasonable and contradictory. The temptation of those three mines was undoubtedly amazing, and if they were all mined, the weapons and equipment of the army and the Blackshirts in Black Cloud City would quickly rise to a big level.
The reason why there has never been a single master of the monastic to come to the door to rob the mineral deposits. First, because the masters do not think much of the value of Taihe Iron and Xuanyu Iron, and secondly, because even if they need to, a single person or a few people will not need much, and they will not go to a mine with great fanfare for this. And Black Cloud City itself has no masters, so no one will care about how many treasures there are in the depths of the Flood Desolation.
However, the three late-stage guys are strong in their own right. And if they were all people who cultivated psychedelic and psychic damage, then the overall strength would be very terrifying. Luo Ming pondered for a while and said, "Let me think about it, this question can't be reckless. ”
The next day, when He Ting sent a detailed report on the expansion of the wolf's den and the blackshirts, Luo Ming was already discussing something with the foundry master Jiemuer, the blacksmith Liu Shilang, and several of their senior disciples. After He Ting sent the report, he listened to it for a while and realized that Luo Ming hoped that they could research a fine iron version of the pocket hard crossbow "Breath of Death", which could be used to equip the expanded black-shirted plainclothes team on a large scale. But after repeated discussions on the technical details, the experts decided that it was not feasible.
Because of its small size, the material requirements for the manufacture of this pocket crossbow are too high and it is difficult to achieve with fine iron. They believed that at least a material like Xuanyu Iron was needed to make this kind of crossbow, and it was estimated that the effect of making it could reach about 70% of that of Taihe Iron Plate. Luo Ming nodded secretly and thought, I have to go to the "Enchanting Wetland" to explore and see if there is a chance to seize the mineral deposits there.
If only there were a few helpers. Luo Ming even thought of the Ruan brothers in Silver Beach. But their highest level is the peak level of the bone spirit, and they can't help at all. Do you just look at this treasure sitting near you, and don't take it as far as you can reach?
After making such a decision, Luo Ming explained his rough battle plan to his brother Lin Yi the next morning, and without saying anything to anyone, he quietly took Luo Ming to the "charming wetland". He mainly wanted to investigate first. After all, no one can help him in this matter, and if he says it, it will only add some more victims, so it's useless, so it's better not to say it.
In order not to be obtrusive, Luo Ming took a low-altitude flight attitude along the less populated route, and quietly approached the forest mixed with the musty smell and the rancid smell of swamps. Among the tall and sparse trees, there is something eerie. The occasional distant birdsong and the sound of insects and frogs in and out are not very clear from the distance and the direction, but also appear to be crisp, empty and deep in the forest.
This fierce forest gave people an ominous feeling, Qin Tianzhu asked Zixuan to fly away for a distance, transform into a gorilla, and quietly hide in the treetops farther away, so that if he encountered an enemy in the future, he could be caught off guard.
After walking in the forest for about half an hour, you can occasionally see some large animals, such as wild boars, gibbons, orangutans, monkeys, snakes and large lizards. The strange thing is that they all looked at Luo Ming suspiciously, and then ran away quickly. Apparently these were all cultivators, and they were in a hurry to report to their master. Luo Ming thought in his heart: Look at it, after a while, the main lord should appear!
Sure enough, after a while, there was a series of heart-stirring laughter like silver bells in front of him. Immediately, a charming snake-like woman figure flashed out of the forest in front of her. He stood there far away, but did not come.
"Ouch, where did this little brother come from?" the woman's voice was full of charm and seduction. The one who came was Ling Huyan, who was ranked second. She is not a careless, empty-eyed person. On the contrary, since her debut, she has always been proud of her cautiousness and thoughtfulness. Now, even if it was a small child standing in front of her, she didn't rush over.
But the problem now is that the person standing in front of him is indeed a little smaller. Not only that, but due to his slow development after cultivating, judging from his face, he was a teenager. What can such a young child do? I really don't see any threat. She looked around and listened intently, but found no ambush. The forest was full of their sisters' eyes and ears, and if anything went wrong, they should have been informed.
In fact, their subordinates did spot Xiao Yu in the treetops in the distance. But Xiao Yu neither released the bone soul, nor did she show any aggression, but seemed to be slowly foraging for food, and the two cultivators didn't look like they, so they couldn't see any difference from other animals.
