Chapter 470: Gone
Seeing that it was these four people who came out, Duo Kang was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't believe it, and rubbed his eyes, and then looked.
"Chief, how did you come out from below?" said Dolkan with a dry laugh, retracting his axe.
Naturally, the others didn't dare to use force against the three leaders and one elder, and they were not much slower than Duokang. But everyone still wondered, didn't the leader go outside, how could he come from below.
Duo Kang found someone to throw the rope, and Shao Xuan and the others climbed up from the pit one by one.
Zheng Luo briefly explained the reason, and then sat down on a rock not far away that had been knocked away from the frost, gasping for air. Although their strength is relatively strong, they have hardly stopped digging from the "tunnel" below to here, and they are afraid that the king beast will come back if they dig slowly, and they have been tense and have only now eased up.
Duokang's eyes lit up, "In other words, if we can't leave it for the time being, we can jump directly from here every day to dig fire crystals?"
"That's right. ”
"Then the leader, you rest first, I'll take people down and continue digging!" Duo Kang rubbed his hands, at this time, the fear of the king beast had gone a lot, and the attraction of the fire crystal was even greater.
"Bring fewer people, be vigilant, come back as soon as you make a mistake, and don't be greedy. "By the way, clean up the slag left in the passage where we dug it." ”
There was a lot of rock and dirt in the "tunnel" below because of their excavation, and if the king beast entered the tunnel again, I wonder if it would be angry because of the small mound there. When I thought of the situation in the Burning Fox Salt Cave, I couldn't help but shudder. It's so miserable that none of the people on the upper and lower floors can avoid it.
"Got it!" said Dokang called a few people, packed up their gear, and slid down the straw rope.
People from the other two tribes thought the same way. Naturally, such an opportunity will not be missed.
"Shao Xuan, when can I leave?" asked Zhengluo.
"I don't know, wait. Shao Xuan took out a straw rope and planned to do it again.
He wanted to know about the king beast, but the divination failed. After so many times of divination, Shao Xuan has already found out his experience. Generally speaking, it is very difficult for him to distinguish a person or beast that is far beyond his own strength. Therefore, after failing once, Shao Xuan tried to divinate the weather again.
Although there was still no clear conclusion, the results made Shao Xuan know that the weather here would be worse.
"Left two days later. Shao Xuan said.
"Two days later?" Zheng Luo frowned, "Why?" It's not that he doesn't believe Shao Xuan, he just wants to know why.
"The snow should stop for a while in two days. When it comes down again, it's not just the way it is now. Shao Xuan told the results of the divination, and the knot did not tell him what would happen in the future, but it also suggested that the best time to leave was two days later, when the snow would stop.
The leader of the Tai River and the leader of the mountain wind wrote down Shao Xuan's words and thought about it in his heart. I am also making plans.
In the past, the people of the mountain wind really didn't have a good impression of the Yanjiao tribe, they only felt that they had a lot of strength. Aside from being rude and arrogant, there are no strengths, but now it seems that the Yanjiao people still have a hand, especially the one named Shao Xuan.
"Then prepare in advance and talk to the people in the cave. Depart in two days. The leader of the River Tay said.
Since it was decided to leave in two days, the matter of digging fire crystals became even more urgent.
After resting, the three leaders continued to dig the pit, and the salt cave people told them to dig the salt mine quickly. They only have two days to dig as much as they can.
In the past, the salt cave used to use as much as possible. How much to dig, they won't dig out too much, too much is useless, and they won't sell all of these, only a small part of what is sold, so they will only dig two layers of salt holes for hundreds of years, but fortunately, only two layers of salt are dug up, if they continue to dig down, the salt mine is not, dig the fire crystal in advance, provoke the king beast in advance, and the people who are guarding here will probably be wiped out long ago.
The warriors of the three tribes who have been idle for a few days have become much better in their mental state as soon as they have work, and they will not be blind every day.
Regardless of the salt at the top of the cave or the salt at the bottom of the cave, after the salt stone was dug out, they all took it with them, this may be the last time they came here, no one wants to be arrogant on the territory of a king beast, if they knew it earlier, they would have left a long time ago.
It stands to reason that this is the salt cave of Yanjiao, and the people of the Tai River and Shanfeng should not dig here, but the salt cave on their side has not been cleared out, and now the time is tight, plus Zhengluo feels that this should be the last time they dig salt mines here, since they are partners, they will dig in a mine hole, anyway, there are a lot of salt mines left here, if they dig it within two days, it is just right. If you come back later, the people of the Tai River and the mountain wind will help Yanjiao grab another salt cave.
In this way, some people dig salt mines, some people dig fire crystals, the division of labor is divided into regions, and there are people observing and guarding outside the cave, once they find the movement of the king beast, they will quickly retreat.
The king beast appeared nearby at noon the next day, but left after a while, and did not come to the salt mine.
The people who went down to the tunnel to dig the fire crystals, digging and digging, and also met the people of the fierce fox, the two sides met in the tunnel, almost swords, especially the people in the mountain wind, looking at each other's eyes were spewing fire, and the enemies were very red when they met. Just as he was about to do it, he heard the warning from the person above: "The king beast has appeared!"
The people on both sides swished and ran back, the people of the Burning Fox ran to the Burning Fox Salt Cave, and the people on this side ran to the Yanjiao Salt Cave. After running back and being quiet for a while, they found that the king beast was just wandering around the neighborhood and did not get close, so they relaxed and continued to dig in the tunnel, only this time, they did not encounter the people of the fierce fox again.
The leader of the mountain wind, Arahim, told them that for the time being, they should ignore the people of the fierce fox for the time being, and the revenge was to be avenged, but the matter on the tribe's side was more important, and they were running out of time.
......
"Chief, what are we going to do?"
In the Flame Fox Cave, a warrior of the Flame Fox tribe asked the silent Fox leader next to him with a gloomy face.
They hid in the salt cave of the forest tribe, and when they heard the roar of the king beast, they knew that the cave side of their tribe must be bad, and at the same time, they were also sad in their hearts, they knew that the situation here must be extremely miserable. When the king beast left, they hid for a while before they came over here to look, but they didn't expect to see the iceman full of holes, and there was no breath of life.
When they came to the fire crystal pit, they saw the traces of someone digging, and there was also a tunnel under the cave, so they walked along the tunnel, and heard the sound of digging, and looked over and saw the people of the three tribes.
Obviously, all the fire crystals that they had worked so hard to dig up were snatched away by the people of the three tribes of Yanjiao!
"Why didn't the king beast roar at the hole in the Flame Horn?!" the warrior with the fierce fox complained.
However, they also knew in their hearts that the first to provoke the king beasts were the people of their Fierce Fox and Sen tribes. Especially the ones who were mining, not only did they have the audacity to touch the king beast, but also pried its scales! Although it was only a small piece, it was also an offense, I don't know if it was because of this reason, so the king beast would directly find the hole and roar, killing the person in the hole.
If you want to say regret, the most regret is naturally the leader of the Burning Fox, they quarreled with the Burning Fox on the side of the salt cave of the Sen tribe, and almost broke up, and the reason why the leader of the Sen tribe endured it was because they didn't have the people of the Burning Fox in their brains, and if they wanted to get out safely, they still had to rely on the people of the Burning Fox.
What to do?
Nobody knows.
"Since you can't think of a way, you might as well pay attention to the situation on the mountain wind. After thinking for a while, the woman standing next to the leader of the fierce fox said, "If you fight hard with the king beast, you will never be able to fight, just look at these people who are frozen to death in the cave, but what if there is a bait?"
The Flame Fox Leader's eyes flashed, "You mean, let the people over there attract the attention of the king beast, and then we take the opportunity to escape?"
"Not bad. ”
"It's a really good idea. It's just that I'm not willing to let go of those fire crystals!" "No one wants to let go of those fire crystals, it's close at hand, wouldn't it be a waste of this great opportunity if you don't dig it?"
So, the Fierce Fox and the people of the Sen tribe discussed again, and decided to dig up the fire crystal first, and then find an opportunity to pit the people on the other side of Yanjiao, and then they could run away at the right time.
The plan was very good, but while they were digging for fire crystals, the people who were watching the Yanjiao Salt Cave came to report that the people over there had left the cave.
"Gone?" There are still so many fire crystals below, and the king beast outside comes out every day to hang around and doesn't leave, why did it leave?
"The snow outside has stopped, the wind has stopped, maybe they just decided to take advantage of this opportunity to leave. The leader of the Sen tribe hesitated in his heart, should they also leave? But there are so many fire crystals below, how many have not been dug up yet, and now they have dug up more in one day than they have dug for so long before.
Reluctant to leave.
"Then ...... How many more days to dig in?" The leader of the Burning Fox proposed, but his heart changed sharply, there was no one on the other side of Yanjiao as bait, but there were other people, when the time came to dig up the fire crystals, they just had to push the others out.
So, when the teams of the three tribes on the side of Yanjiao left, the Fierce Fox and the Sen tribe did not follow, but continued their mining business, and the people who were invited by the Fierce Fox with salt now also know the existence of the fire crystal, even if they are pulled away at this time, they will not be willing, and their consciousness has been filled with the fire crystal.
Looking at those people whose minds were full of fire crystals, the leader of the Flame Fox and the woman beside him quickly glanced at each other, and the corners were slightly curled. People who have lost their rationality are the easiest to be taken advantage of, and they are the best bait.
At this time, the Yanjiao tribe, together with the two tribes of Taihe and Shanfeng, walked out of the salt cave and walked towards the white earth.
The snow on the strange rocky ground that had been swept away by the king beast was now six or seven meters thick, higher than the house where they lived.
And now, they are struggling to make their way through such snow.
"Will you meet the king beast?" asked Polysaccharide.
"Probably not...... Shao Xuan wasn't sure. Let's hope they're not that unlucky. (To be continued......)
