At this time, it was already autumn and winter, and the cold wind was blowing, and the broad cedar leaves were swept off one by one, spreading on the ground like a dark red carpet.

The members of the Blood Sword Army felt very comfortable stepping on it.

As Chen Lin stopped, they also stopped, thinking that they could hear the order to set up camp here and bury the pot to make rice.

Suddenly...

In the Blood Sword Army, someone exclaimed, "Ah, this is ...... What is this, biting me?"

When Chen Lin heard this, he immediately rushed away.

I saw a member of the Blood Sword Army, holding a dark red ant the size of a finger in his hand.

The ant's mouthparts are sharp, like two big pincers, and even if they are caught, they are also fangs and claws, and they are extremely fierce.

Chen Lin recognized the origin of this ant at a glance, but pretended not to know, and asked knowingly, "What's the matter?"

The member of the Blood Sword Army didn't dare to slack off, and immediately replied: "Tell Fu Zun, just now this thing didn't know where it came from, and it bit my foot, and the pain was unbearable, so I lost my posture and called out." ”

"Oh, let me see. ”

"Good..."

The member of the Blood Sword Army squatted down, rolled up his trouser legs, and on his ankle, there was indeed a bloody wound, deep visible to the bone, and it was still bleeding out, obviously from the bite of this dark red ant.

"This ant is big enough, and the lethality is so strong, it really can't be underestimated, I think it's just crushed to death..."

"Everyone be careful, ants have always lived in groups, and if one appears, maybe the others will be ambushed nearby. ”

Before the words fell, in the Blood Sword Army, one after another people screamed out, dancing on the cedar leaves.

"Smack..."

"Damn, there's a giant ant crawling behind me, shoot it for me..."

"Dare to bite me, see if I don't smash you into meat sauce. ”

"They all hide under the leaves, be careful to check them or let them go. ”

......

As more and more people were bitten by giant ants, the formation suddenly became chaotic.

Chen Lin had expected this.

However, he can't reveal it, otherwise, if it spreads back, the people of the Ancient Sword Mansion will inevitably not be able to understand it.

How did he know that there would be rare mineral deposits hidden in a certain nameless low mountain in the vast chaotic Yin Mountain?

"All stand back..."

Chen Lin resolutely ordered, led the Blood Sword Army to retreat dozens of zhang quickly, and came to a sandy place, where there were no leaves, before stopping, and strictly guarded.

Then, he asked for a giant ant, and after careful observation for a long time, he finally showed a "shocked face" and frowned: "This is ...... This seems to be a kind of red silver ant that I told in the ancestral sword's ancestral secrets?"

"What is a red silver ant?"

"The patriarch's secrets are all recorded, and it seems that this thing is really extraordinary. ”

"This thing can't be...... Poisonous, right?"

"No, this thing is not poisonous, it is still very useful..."Chen Lin said in a deep voice: "Niu Yongwang, you lead a team of people to catch hundreds of these red silver ants and come back." Others, camped here, and then, lit a fire and waited. ”

"Yes. ”

Although they were puzzled, all the members of the Blood Sword Army gladly accepted the order and immediately began to divide and cooperate.

Poof...

Some members of the Blood Sword Army swung their swords, swept away weeds and rocks, and forcibly cleared a clearing.

Once everything was taken care of, the camp began.

Then, a flame was lit, and the iron pot was burned red, leaving a few unmoved, and the other iron pots began to stew the monster meat, and when the water boiled, it rolled a few times, and the rich aroma of meat spread everywhere, hooking the greedy insects in people's stomachs.

"Let's go..."

Chen Lin sat down next to an iron pot at random, picked up the spoon, stirred it a few times, scooped up a few pieces of well-cooked demon beast meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it with relish.

The others were not polite, frolicking, and were about to feast.

Suddenly, Niu Yongwang and the others, who were sent out to collect the red silver ants, rushed back, still far away, and shouted violently: "Oh no, the ant colony is rioting, and it is coming to the camp, everyone be careful..."

Chen Lin Huoran stood up, looked intently, and saw that behind Niu Yongwang and the others, a red dark tide swept over, surging over, and everywhere he went, the grass and trees disappeared.

It was so powerful that even the earth trembled.

This red dark tide is composed of red silver ants the size of a finger, each of which is strong and powerful, and its mouthparts are opened and closed, and it is like iron tongs cutting it, and the mountains and rocks are crushed.

Among the countless red silver ants, there are a small number of extremely large bodies, the size of a fist, covered in crimson color, like metal, shining brilliantly, before approaching, giving people an extremely strong sense of oppression.

"Well, that's a lot..."

"Being bitten doesn't matter much, being bitten by thousands of bites, even if you are a master at the level of a great sword master, I am afraid that you will fall on the spot..."

"Fuzun, what should I do?"

......

In the face of the rolling ant tide, even Chen Lin didn't want to resist hard, so as not to cause fearless losses, he ordered: "Fight and retreat, use your sword light, and strive to wipe out all the red silver ants without contact..."

After hearing the order, the members of the Blood Sword Army settled down in their hearts, and according to the established strategy, after Niu Yongwang and the others rushed into the camp, hundreds of sword lights full of tragic blood and qi roared and slashed down in the ant tide.

Thundered...

The red silver ants were completely unable to resist, and they exploded one after another, their bodies turning into powder, creating large blanks in the dark tide.

However, there were so many of them that they were filled in the blink of an eye, and they swept in again.

"Retreat..."

Chen Lin gave an order, and the members of the Blood Sword Army moved in, extremely fast, and after the distance was opened, hundreds of sword qi slashed down at the same time, strangling the unknown Red Silver Ant.

And so on and so forth.

Finally, after they had withdrawn for ten miles, the ant tide had become sparse and sparse, and there was not much left to threaten them.

In the end, those fist-sized red silver ant generals could not escape and were captured alive by them.

"Come on, make a fire, burn it..."

Hula...

The flames burned brightly, devouring the Red Silver Ant General in the blink of an eye, along with the other Red Silver Ants.

After burning them all to ashes, Chen Lin stopped Niu Yongwang and the others from adding firewood to it, and slashed it with a sword to extinguish the fire.

All around, the members of the Blood Sword Army watched quietly, not knowing what Chen Lin was going to do.

"I looked closely. ”

Chen Lin said, grabbing a wooden stick and pushing the ashes away.

Suddenly, red grains the size of rice grains appeared in the ashes.

"What is this?"

"Like a metal?"

"How can there be such a thing in the body of the red silver ant?"

Chen Lin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pretended to be extremely excited: "Sure enough... This is an extremely precious deposit of red silver... After refining, the pure red silver is obtained, which is used to refine the sword, which can make the sword body light, tough, and sharp, and improve by at least three percent... And around the red silver deposits, there will inevitably be a large number of these red silver ants, digging into the burrows, deep in the underground red silver veins, and devouring the red silver deposits for a living......"

"Ahh

All the members of the Blood Sword Army suddenly boiled, and their eyes lit up.

They are all sword cultivators, and the things they think in their dreams are all good swords that can get a sharp and unparalleled sword...

It's a pity that in reality, good swords are too rare...

Occasionally, the price is too expensive to afford.

Many people have not been able to get what they wanted, and now, they have heard that there is a mineral that can turn their swords on their side, and become lighter, tougher, sharper, how can they not be excited?

"Fuzun, is this true? I don't know much, don't lie to me..."

"Great, it shouldn't be so wasteful just now, you should have captured all the red silver ants alive, or attacked them directly with fire. ”

"The red silver mine is there, let's dig it, what are you waiting for?"

......

He Junwei, Niu Yongwang and the others suddenly all shouted, their eyes lit up, their breathing was short, and they couldn't wait.

"Okay, everyone, don't be impatient..."

Chen Lin wanted this effect, and gave an order: "Everyone, throw away all the miscellaneous items in your package... Then, around this mountain, look for the red silver anthill, as long as there is an anthill, there must be an anthill that leads directly to the underground veins... We can't go deep for the time being, but we can first catch the red silver ants in the anthill, burn them, get the red silver particles, and then bring them back to the Ancient Sword Mansion... When the time comes, we will send someone to carry out the real mining......"

"Yes..."

All the members of the Blood Sword Army responded like thunder, and their morale was skyrocketing.

Chen Lin had to remind them: "Remember, after finding the anthill, don't act rashly, come and tell me first... You must know that in the anthill, it is not as empty as the outside, you can fight and retreat, once surrounded by tens of thousands of red silver ants, I am afraid that it will be eaten up in the blink of an eye, and there will be no scum left. ”

"Fuzun, you can rest assured, with me watching, there will definitely be no accidents. He Junwei said with an oath.

"Well, I'm still more relieved that you do things. ”

Chen Lin nodded and began to assign tasks: "He Junwei, Niu Yongwang, the two of you, each lead a team to find an anthill in the mountains, and pay attention to safety." ”

"Then we went. He Junwei and Niu Yongwang rushed into the mountain with people.

Chen Lin shook his head and smiled, and then arranged.

With the exception of the wounded, all members of the Blood Sword Army went into action.

Some of them are specifically responsible for finding the red silver anthill, just like He Junwei and the two.

The other part of the people is responsible for protection, killing the beasts and monsters that appear in the mountains and forests, so that the search for anthills and the collection of red silver particles can be carried out smoothly.

It is also necessary to arrange for people to set up camp again for a long period of rest, after all, the previous camp, after the ant tide rushed, I am afraid that there will be nothing left.

After doing this, Chen Lin relaxed.

The "accidental" discovery of the red silver vein was just something he could do by using the memories and experiences of his previous life.

But for the Ancient Sword Mansion in this life, this is a huge discovery, a huge development, and an opportunity to rise... R405
