"No, it's too dangerous." Meng Fei hurriedly stopped, "How can your girl's family take such a risk?" Tell me what you're looking for, and I'll bring it back. ”

"There's a salty thing that comes out of the walls of the cave called saltpeter, and that's what I'm looking for." Xu Jingluo said as he tied the mountaineering rope to his waist, "But don't worry, Brother Meng Fei, although I am a woman, my skills may not be worse than yours, and we can take care of it together." ”

Her words were crisp and neat, full of confidence and determination, so that Meng Fei couldn't help but agree and couldn't say anything against it.

At this time, Xu Jingluo had already quickly tied the mountaineering rope to his waist, picked up another mountaineering rope and bypassed Meng Fei's waist, and was ready to tie it to him.

"I'll do it myself." Meng Fei said embarrassedly.

Except for the death of his own wife, it was the first time he had such close contact with a strange woman, and he couldn't help blushing when he smelled the fragrant fragrance on the other party.

"I'll tie it to you the same." Xu Jingluo said with a smile.

She often hikes outdoors and knows how to tie a very safe rope, so she is relieved to do it herself, and she pauses and takes the opportunity to explain.

"I treat Brother Meng Fei as my own brother, why not tie a rope to my brother?"

Meng Fei couldn't help but calm down when she heard this, it seemed that it was her wishful thinking, and Sister Jingluo didn't like her.

But he won't give up so easily, take your time, you can always impress her with sincerity.

Just thinking about it, Xu Jingluo had already tied the rope to him.

The descender was too advanced for her to use, so she could only rely on her arm strength to pull the rope and step on the gap in the cliff wall to go down to the cave.

Fortunately, the cliff wall is not 90 degrees vertical, but has a certain slope, so the difficulty is not so great.

"Tie it up, let's go." Xu Jingluo tugged on the ropes on the two of them, and after making sure it was safe, he began to walk to the edge of the cliff.

Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, it is thirty or forty meters high, and the people who are dizzy are estimated to have weak legs at a glance.

A gust of mountain wind blows, bringing a cold chill that makes people nervous.

"Fourth sister Brother Meng Fei, be careful." Xu Jing'an told with a heart.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine, wait for us to come back."

Xu Jingluo is not afraid of heights, and she loves outdoor sports, she has climbed more than once, and she is much more experienced than Meng Fei, saying that she has already grabbed the climbing rope and climbed down the cliff first.

The man who had seen the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood on the battlefield in Meng Fei was naturally bold, and he followed closely without hesitation, and carefully advised.

"The cliff is slippery, Sister Jingluo must step on it steadily before descending."

"Okay, be careful, too."

The two exchanged a few words from time to time, and soon descended five or six meters away from the cliff face.

At this time, I suddenly found a large hole below, and a thick rancid smell emanated from the hole.

The entrance to the cave was barren for a long time, overgrown with wild flowers and weeds.

After descending to the entrance of the cave, the two untied the rope from their waists, and then blew the fire fold to light the torch and slowly went to the cave.

"This cave looks like a python cave." Meng Fei couldn't help but tense his nerves while holding the torch, and his eyes looked around vigilantly, "But Sister Jingluo, don't worry, the weedy python in the cave should have already left." ”

"Mmmm, there won't be any danger."

Xu Jingluo responded, and did not explain that the python had already been killed by Gu Changgong's master and servant, and it was indeed very safe.

She raised her torch and shone it at the rock wall, which was damp and overgrown with all kinds of wildflowers, and it was not dry enough that saltpeter could not exist.

"Go inside." Xu Jingluo said a word and continued inside.

When I got closer to the wide area, I found that there were piles of white bones of various beasts, which was terrifying.

"Fortunately, this python has left this cave, otherwise Sister Jingluo and the people in the village would be in danger." Meng Fei was a little afraid.

The cave is so close to the waterfall that the cave is full of water that saltpeter is impossible to exist in such an environment.

After coming out of this cave, the two moved two or three feet away to the sea, where they found a cave again.

The white bones in this cave are still piled up, and seeing Meng Fei's hair standing upside down, I can't help but sigh fiercely that Xu Jingluo and the people in the village are lucky, these pythons actually took the initiative to move their nests, and they didn't expect to be killed by someone at all.

Although the cave was much drier, there was still no saltpeter, which disappointed Xu Jingluo.

However, he still did not give up and continued to search for the third cave.

The third cave was further away from the waterfall, and it was unusually dry, and the putrid smell of the cave was ten times thicker than that of the first two caves.

The two of them pinched their noses and lit torches, and walked little by little into the cave.

After walking two steps, I saw a faint beige color on the rock wall, and a thick layer of saltpeter was clearly attached.

"Wow, saltpeter cave, we've found a saltpeter cave." Xu Jingluo exclaimed excitedly, holding up the torch high and shining it around, "Did Brother Meng Fei see it?" That's the saltpeter we're looking for, and it's all over the cave. “

As he spoke, he put the torch aside, took out the dagger and pried it off, it was four or five inches thick, and at first glance it was a very pure kind.

Eh, this luck~~ is no one.

You must know that saltpeter is very useful, it can be used to make gunpowder, and it will be used in the future.

Meng Fei couldn't help but be amazed.

"I don't know how much ice can be made from so much saltpeter? With ice, seafood can be transported to Ssangyong City, not to mention anything else, it will not be a problem to open a few seafood restaurants. ”

"That's, and this saltpeter ice doesn't consume saltpeter, so it can be used over and over again."

"So wonderful? I can't wait to open my eyes. “

As the two spoke, they pried off enough saltpeter and packed four major burdens.

"What's going on inside?" After Xu Jingluo was happy, he began to pinch his nose again from the smell, but he was curious about what the smell came from.

"Okay, let's go." Meng Fei was also curious, and raised his torch to rush forward and walk deeper into the cave.

The cave is also full of animal bones, and these giant pythons have been entrenched here for I don't know how many years, and the animal bones of Bai Sensen are piled up like a hill.

Unlike the previous two caves, this cave is more open the further you go, and the thicker the saltpeter attached to the cliff wall, the layers are like a saltpeter cave.

The black rumbling in the cave can't tell the direction clearly, and it feels like it goes straight to the northeast, and it is obliquely going down and the bottom is not visible.

Looking at the topography of the cave, this cave should be connected to an underground cave, and the sound of rushing water can be faintly heard.

And the stench is getting stronger, as if some behemoth is rotting not far ahead.

At this time, the torches were about to burn out, and the two did not dare to go any further.

"Brother Liao Pei, go back." Wang Yueluo guessed that maybe Chu Yunche and they killed a few giant pythons in it, and they might not have finished rotting, so they didn't think there was any need to go inside.

"Okay." Liao Pei responded, and the two turned around and walked back.

Liao Pei also had a guess in his heart, and his heart might be the smell of the river drying up, a large number of fish being stranded in the cave, and rotting.

The two left the cave thoughtfully.

At the entrance of the cave, Wang Yueluo carried a very heavy burden full of saltpeter and said to Liao Pei:

"These large bags of saltpeter are so heavy, it is too difficult to climb up on their backs, and they can only be lowered to the bottom of the cliff with ropes."

"I'll go down in a while, and then you tie a few bags of saltpeter to the rope and put them down, and then go up to the top of the cliff to meet with Cultivator Yang."

"Hmmm! Good way. Liao Pei praised.

Soon, Wang Yueluo grabbed the rope and went down to the bottom of the cliff, and then the four large bags of saltpeter were also hung down with ropes.

After doing this, Liao Pei left the cave and stepped on the rock crevice to climb to the top of the cliff.

As soon as he came up, Wang Xiuyang pointed to the sea in the distance in surprise.

"Brother Liao Pei, what do you see floating over there on the sea? It's like a hill. ”

Liao Pei untied the rope on his waist and looked at Wang Xiuyang, and he was shocked at this look.

"It shouldn't be a mountain, and I don't know what it is."

They stood tall, and now looked down at the sea, only to see a black 'hill' being pushed by the waves, and little by little towards the fishing village.

It's the first time I came to the beach, and I didn't see a reason for staring at it for a long time, so I didn't care so much, and turned back to go down the cliff after putting away the climbing rope.

When Liao Pei and Wang Xiuyang came back from the top of the cliff, there was already a pot of ice cubes on the table that had just been made.

Liao Pei's eyes straightened when he saw the crystal clear ice cube.

"This, this is amazing, how is it made?"
