Chapter 8: The Black Gold Mountains
Although ordinary people can't get to the school city directly from other places, the school city has its own set of flying boats, which can reach many locations in Middle-earth, and all monks who have registered their identity in the school city can ride freely.

And Zhao Zhong accepted the invitation of the three people, and together they took a flying boat to the Heijin Mountain Range, which was hundreds of miles away from the school city in the east. Through each other's introductions, Zhao Zhong roughly knew the details of the three people, and the three were called Guan Lin, Song Gang, and Yuezhi. The three of them, like Zhao Zhong, were all cultivators in the early stage of Qi refining, but they were all about to break through to the middle stage.
The Heijin Mountains stretch for dozens of miles, with high mountains and dense forests, and the depths of the mountains are often shrouded in dense fog. What's even more strange is that there is a thick layer of black gas in the center of the deep mountain range, which Zhao Zhong can clearly see on the flying boat.
"Is there really a Jindan-level monster in there?"
On the flying boat, Zhao Zhong looked at the black qi and asked suspiciously, Zhao Zhong had just set foot in the cultivation world, and he didn't know much about it, but he still listened to the introduction of the three people opposite.
"Naturally, it's true. Guan Lin, who had a square face, nodded, and said with certainty, "I don't believe you can ask the other people on the ship, but don't worry, this level of monsters will not come to the periphery, and there is no obstacle for us." ”
Feizhou has a fixed route every day, and it is impossible to pull only the four of them. Most of the other monks on the flying boat smiled when they heard Zhao Zhong's words, and they could all tell that Zhao Zhong was a newcomer. But behind the smile, there was also a worry that could not be hidden, after all, this shipload of Qi refining cultivators was not enough for the Jindan Monster to swallow in one bite.
"Xuecheng is not far from here, why didn't you get rid of this monster? No matter how powerful the Jindan level monster is, there are even more powerful monks after all. Coupled with the fact that so many of us go to sweep every day, it stands to reason that the monsters should have been extinct a long time ago. ”
Zhao Zhong couldn't figure it out, Zhao Zhong didn't believe that no one would do it. No matter how powerful this Jindan-level monster is, isn't it just a matter of a slap from the Divine Transformation Monk, how can it be allowed to stay alive.
"Aren't you alive and well?" Song Gang smiled, his eyes turned directly into a slit, "I heard that the big monsters inside don't know how many times they have been killed, and the weak monsters don't know how many times they have been killed, and the Black Gold Mountain Range will be really safe for a few days." But for some reason, within a few days, all the monsters will come back again, and I don't know where they came from. ”
Song Gang waved his hand, it seemed that he couldn't figure it out, Zhao Zhong was also very surprised when he heard this, "Could it be that they have all been resurrected?" Zhao Zhong said with a big brain.
"Then I don't know. Song Gang shook his head, "Maybe it's possible, anyway, we can't tell what the monster looks like." ”
"When I become a golden pill in the future, I will definitely clean up the monsters inside, and let others see this girl's methods. ”
The girl Yuezhi on the side raised her head and said, Zhao Zhong and the three of them all smiled when they saw Yuezhi's appearance, but Zhao Zhong also had such thoughts. What a happy thing it is to kill the great demon and be admired by the world.
It didn't take long for the ship to land at the entrance to the outer perimeter of the Black Gold Mountains. Although there are monsters infested in the Black Gold Mountains, there are also rich treasures inside, so a very large market has been formed on the outskirts of the mountain range, and many people, whether it is monks or ordinary people, live here directly.
"There will be a chance to visit the market in the future, let's hurry up, if that place is discovered by others, it will be a big loss. ”
Guan Lin said to everyone, and Zhao Zhong also nodded, without any objections. Most of the monks who came down from the flying boat went to Fang City first, and only a few of them headed straight towards the Black Gold Mountain Range.
"Can the spirit stones be collected by themselves? Shouldn't they all belong to the management and distribution of the Senate?"
The group of four people quickly walked to the wilderness where no one was, and Zhao Zhong finally asked the question in his heart.
"It stands to reason that this is what it looks like. Guan Lin nodded, and said very happily, as if he had no intention of concealing it, "But things changed after many spirit stone veins were occupied by monsters. ”
Guan Lin went on to say that after a short trip, Zhao Zhong had already discovered that the three of them seemed to be led by Guan Lin, and his cultivation seemed to be the highest.
"The Black Gold Mountain Range was originally a fairly good vein of spirit stones, but since it was occupied by monsters, mining spirit stones has become a big problem. After some twists and turns, the Senate also allowed individuals to collect on their own, and did not recognize the exclusive rights of anyone. The middle heart stone of the mountain range is naturally very rich, but we can't get in, but the outer part of the mountain range still happens to encounter some broken veins, and the place we want to go is there. ”
Guan Lin smiled, "It's just that I hope that others won't find out first, as for some peripheral monsters, we can still deal with them." ”
"It's quite interesting that the monsters occupy the spirit stone veins. Zhao Zhong smiled, and the doubts in his heart basically dissipated. "Isn't that that a lot of ordinary people going into the mountain to collect spirit stones, no wonder you see so many mortals at the bottom of the mountain. ”
"Then there has to be someone who gets out alive. Song Gang laughed twice, "If you go inside, you'll find out what most of them look like." ”
After the group traveled a distance of Li Xu towards the mountain range, Zhao Zhong could vaguely feel that there seemed to be an unusual change in his surroundings. A faint but seemingly viscous smell began to fill the air, making people feel a little uncomfortable. The herbivores that flashed by did not have the kind of eyes that made people feel very clear, and there seemed to be a hint of madness.
After another mile or two, two rotting corpses began to appear in the grass in the distance, and it was a herd of goats that were supposed to eat grass that were eating them. The three or five goats were only a dozen meters away from Zhao Zhong and his party, but they didn't mean to run away immediately.
Instead, they all stood there and stared at them for a while, and then ran away for a distance, as if they were reluctant to let go of the carrion. Zhao Zhong could clearly see that their eyeballs were all black, which made people inevitably frightened when they looked at it.
On the other side, one or twenty meters away, seven or eight jackals stood there and roared at Zhao Zhong, and they could hear the movements of dogs, but they seemed to be mixed with other sounds, which made people numb to hear.
Saliva continued to flow from the jackal's pitch-black teeth to the ground, and Zhao Zhong and his party seemed to have a great appetite, but they didn't dare to rush up. And the eyes of several jackals have also turned crimson, and several dog faces seem to be torn apart by some force to become even more crazy.
"Leave them alone, these are animals that are starting to demonize, there is no threat to us, there is no need to waste energy on them. ”
Seeing Zhao Zhong was very surprised, Song Gang explained to Zhao Zhong, "But those ordinary people may not be able to come over this level." ”
Zhao Zhong nodded, glanced at the two corpses over there, sighed, and knew in his heart that if the four of them were just ordinary teenagers, I am afraid that these animals that began to demonize might not be so restrained.
"It's just ahead, but be careful. After a short while, Guan Lin, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and pointed forward with some excitement.
Zhao Zhong knew that he was finally about to reach his destination, and raised his eyes in the direction of Guan Lin's finger.
