Chapter 245: Infiltrating the Ghost Witch Salt Mine Cave
The bright moon hangs high, and the silver light falls to the ground.
The snowfield is vast, as smooth as white silk, and the figure can be identified within hundreds of zhang.
Qingyang's expression was indifferent, as if he was strolling leisurely, strolling through the ghost and witch tribe settlement, and the ghost and witch tribes who were hurrying around him didn't notice him at all.
Li Shi Ming's talent and divine power blessed the Hidden Shadow Technique, and even Zhongxingshuo, who was at the peak of the third grade, was only slightly aware of it, and could not completely find out his whereabouts.
This made Qingyang conclude that with the current strength of the Ghost and Witch Department, it was impossible to see through it, so he had such a bold action.
Going deep into the enemy's lair without being detected is an exciting way to excite the restless golden ape.
The little guy knew not to shout loudly, he covered his mouth with one hand, scratched his ears and cheeks with the other, and his big smart eyes turned straight away, not knowing what he was thinking.
The young man Shi Ling was also looking around, carefully observing the ghost and witch tribes, the hideous ghost face totems, and the weird bone ornaments all aroused his great interest.
Qingyang casually scanned the surroundings, but found no treasure worth starting.
In the Ghost and Witch Tribe, there are indeed many things that are still precious, such as many high-grade alien beast bones, and even the bones of fifth-grade alien beasts.
The bones of these powerful beasts, as long as they are transported to the national capital, can be exchanged for a lot of wealth, but Qingyang can't lift the slightest spirit.
Although the bones of the alien beasts are valuable, around the nest of the Xiushan Dragon Nest, I don't know how much has been discarded, and the Nine Palaces in the jade pendant can't hold such a huge beast bone.
"Knock knock~"
With a rush of footsteps, the four ghost and witch tribesmen attracted Qingyang's attention.
The four of them walked in a hurry, and the animal skin clothes on their bodies were extremely simple, but the deliberately restrained and powerful aura could not hide from Qingyang's eyes.
According to the aura of the four people, he walks calmly and powerfully, and his body is tall and strong, he is by no means an ordinary ghost and witch tribe, and he is clearly a strong person in the ghost and witch tribe.
The wild people advocate force, and the stronger the strength, the higher the status, if you want to find the treasure house of the Ghost and Witch Department, following these four people, you will definitely have a big gain.
The four ghost and witch tribesmen seem to be unhurried, and their implementation is extremely fast.
Looking around, no one followed, and in the blink of an eye, I went around a large woods and entered a cave that was not very large, the diameter of the hole was nearly zhang, and there was no light, which was particularly mysterious.
He was about to follow up with Shi Mingxuan immediately, but was stopped by Qingyang: "Wait a moment~"
Seeing the young man's puzzled face, Qingyang motioned for him to look at the location of the cave.
After about thirty breaths, a strong man of the Ghost and Witch Department leaned out most of his body at the entrance of the cave again, and looked around for a moment before returning with confidence.
After seeing these four people so cautious and deliberately arranging for someone to break off, Qingyang became more and more sure in his heart that there must be extremely precious things in this cave.
After waiting patiently for another quarter of an hour, Qingyang nodded to Shi Mingxiao and said, "Let's go~"
Before the words fell, Qingyang took out a five-foot Qingfeng and was the first to walk into the cave.
The cave was silent, there was not the slightest sound, and the movement of the previous four people could not be heard.
As his body became stronger, Qingyang's night vision became more and more sensitive, and he looked around with cold eyes, judging that there was no threat, so he continued to move forward.
After walking a hundred steps, a faint breath in the air caught his attention, and crystals began to appear on the stone walls of the cave, emitting a faint reddish-brown fluorescence.
Carefully deduct a crystal, sniff it carefully first, Qingyang's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he licked it with his tongue, and his face was full of surprise: "Salt mine!"
Yes, salt mines!
This cave is not only a salt mine, but also a very high-quality rock salt mine, with almost transparent ochre-red crystals, indicating that the salt mine is extremely pure.
is not a person in the Northern Wilderness, and will never understand Qingyang's surprise at this moment.
In the eyes of the countries of Zhongzhou, the bones of alien beasts, gold and silver jewelry, and elixir spars are precious things, and what is the salt mine?
However, in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Wilderness, edible salt is the most valuable, and it can even be related to the lifeblood of the country.
Strictly speaking, there are thousands of large and small salt lakes and salt lakes in the Northern Wilderness, but unfortunately these salts are all poisonous, and only a few salt mines eat them.
This has led to the extremely high price of salt in the countries of the Northern Wilderness, and a small number of salt mines are controlled by the monarch and the emperor, and the Qing family's annual purchase of salt is a huge expense.
Discovering this salt mine, Qingyang's eyes suddenly became clear.
The Ghost Witch Department was able to quickly and powerfully dominate the northern frontier within twenty years, not only because the previous generation Xing Hou attacked and destroyed other wild people, causing a vacuum of power in the Great Wilderness, but also had a great deal to do with this salt mine.
It is precisely with the precious salt in the salt mine that the Ghost and Witch Department can successfully recruit the remnants of the scattered wild people, and can use this to order the wild people of northern Xinjiang.
Qingyang's expression changed, and in the end, he had no choice but to find that when Uncle Bingxin's army attacked, he couldn't hide the secret of the salt mine at all.
Although he was a little disappointed in his heart, Qingyang was much clearer, nodded at Lishi Mingxuan, and continued to march deeper.
In this salt mine cave, the length and width are only a few zhang in size, but it is rugged and bumpy, and it keeps descending all the way.
As we continue to go deeper into the cave, the surrounding rock salt mines become more and more red, as if red blood is flowing, and from time to time there are inexplicable fluorescences that suddenly flicker and darken, and the strange atmosphere is extremely terrifying.
Thousands of feet deep into the cave, Qingyang suddenly stopped his footsteps and signaled to stop away from Shi Mingxi, and a quarrel could be heard in front of him at this time.
"It's a pity that this stone statue was destroyed like this, it's better to bury it on the spot and wait for it to be collected later!"
"Tai Wukun, how can you think that this salt mine will not be discovered by the Xing people? When they dig the salt mine, the stone statue will be exposed sooner or later, so it is better to destroy it at this time!"
"Tai Wuming is right, although the stone statue is extremely precious, we can't take it away, so we'd rather destroy it than leave it to Xingren!"
Hearing these words, Qingyang felt inexplicable in his heart, what stone statue is so valuable?
After carefully checking that there was no omission in the Shadow Hiding Technique, Qingyang quietly walked in, walked through the cave that was nearly zhang wide, and suddenly opened up in front of him.
It is a hall with a radius of 100 zhang and a height of nearly 10 zhang.
The hall is all artificially excavated, and the orange-red rock salt mine on the top of the four walls exudes a bright light, shining on people, as if covered in blood.
In the center of the hall, there was a huge stone platform on which stood a ruined stone statue five feet high.
The four strong men of the Ghost and Witch Department had already thrown away their cloaks at this time, and looking at the totem facets of their faces, Qingyang concluded that these four people were all high-level totem warriors of the Ghost and Witch Tribe.
The four of them stood in front of the huge stone statue, and after a fierce argument, they finally unanimously decided to destroy the stone statue completely.
Qingyang couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why did a broken stone statue be so valued by the powerhouses of the Ghost and Witch Tribe, and even deliberately took the time to destroy it before leaving?
"If you don't save the stone statue, you'll regret it later!"
The voice of the Taichu Dao Sutra suddenly sounded in the sea of knowledge. (To be continued.) )
