Chapter 251: Into the Cave
In front of the treasure house of the Black Knife Village, there are about more than fifty bandits guarding there, and the more than fifty bandits are weak, and the most powerful one is only Zonghengyin. Ling Xi had no trouble dealing with it, which was why Ling Xi dared to break into the Black Knife Village alone.
"Hey, I said, did Tielin City do it to the big boss? Why did the second master lead so many brothers to Tielin City?"
"Hmph! Tielin City has that guts? Xiao Chengfeng, the city lord of Tielin City, was all scared by our big boss. In my opinion, most of the big bosses want to occupy Tielin City, so they let the second boss lead so many brothers to Tielin City. ”
"That's okay, if we really capture Tielin City, then the little girl in Tielin City won't be playing with us, haha!"
The more than fifty bandits were talking as usual, because the past few years have been too smooth, they didn't smell the danger at all, but they were delusional that the black knife men could capture Tielin City, where would they think that the people who rushed to Tielin City had all been annihilated, and the once powerful Black Knife Village was now only left with these remnants of the weak generals.
Woo-ah!
As the fifty or so robbers were talking, a strange sound sounded in their ears, and then they remained motionless as if they had been petrified, and the surrounding area turned blood red.
This is the scene that Ling Xi will only appear when he uses the Ten Thousand Flowers Pupil Blood Moon, and sure enough, in the next moment, Ling Xi appeared. He walked straight to the treasure house of the Black Knife Village, and then looked up at the door of the treasure house.
Xiao Zi on Ling Xi's shoulder looked at the bandits of the Black Knife Village suspiciously, it was very strange, how did Ling Xi do it, he could make the bandits of the Black Knife Village remain motionless like this.
Ling Xi naturally used the Blood Moon Pupil Mantra Requiem, because those fifty or so bandits were a bit weak, so even if Ling Xi used the Requiem, it would not have any effect on him, after all, the strength of those bandits was not enough to affect his Requiem.
"Do I need a key to open it?"
Ling Xi looked at the treasure house and muttered. In Requiem, Ling Xi can read the memories of the bandits of the Black Knife Village, and he discovers that he needs to use a key to open the treasure house of the Black Knife Village. Of course, he can also use some unconventional means to forcibly open the treasure house, but not to mention the trouble, if the Black Knife Village sets up a device similar to self-destruction in advance, then his actions can easily trigger those self-destruct devices. Once the treasure house is destroyed, it will be too late for him to regret it, so it is safer to use the key to open the treasure house.
Ling Xi also learned that there were only five people who had the key to open the treasure house, and these five people were the five masters of the Black Knife Village, and the big master, the Black Knife Hand, had been wiped out by him. Thinking of the Black Knife Hand, Ling Xi regretted it for a while, when he wiped out the Black Knife Hand, he destroyed the Black Knife Hand's Space Ring together with the Black Knife Hand, and lost a lot of wealth, not to mention, if he got the Black Knife Hand's Space Ring, he could open the treasure house now, and he would have to spend time to get any keys.
The black knife hand is dead, and there are still four masters left in the black knife village, the second master, the third master, and the fourth master have all rushed to Tielin City to support, presumably the end is a dead word, and now only five masters are left to stay in the black knife village. In other words, as long as you find the five masters, you can get the key to open the treasure house, so Ling Xi is not panicking, anyway, there is still a key in the Black Knife Village, and then you just need to find the five masters.
Ling Xi also found that the five masters of the Black Knife Village are all members of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, that is to say, the huge Black Knife Village is actually established on the basis of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, if this is known by the Hongling Royal Family, it would be terrible, after all, this is a matter that damages the imperial power, and it is not something that can be fooled in a few words, and the Hongling Royal Family must not let go of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce easily.
Think about it again, what does it mean that the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce dared to risk offending the Hongling royal family to establish the Black Knife Village? It shows that there is something worthy of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, and this thing is very likely to be the treasure in the legend of Wang Shenshan.
Thinking of this, Ling Xi completely understood. The Black Knife Village is just a cover played by the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, and the real purpose of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce is the legendary treasure of Wang Shenshan. Realizing that the legend of Wang Shenshan was very likely to be true, Ling Xi's heart couldn't help but become eager, he really wanted to know what that legendary treasure was, of course, it was best to get it.
Ling Xi couldn't help the eagerness in his heart, raised his head to confirm the direction, and went towards the cave where the Black Knife Village was exploring treasures.
When he arrived at the cave, Ling Xi repeated his old trick and used the Blood Moon Pupil Spell Requiem to trap the bandits guarding in front of the cave entrance.
Xiao Zi was no longer surprised by this scene, it stood quietly on Ling Xi's shoulder, and followed Ling Xi into the cave.
"This?"
As soon as he entered the cave, Ling Xi felt a chill. This chill did not seem to be caused by the cave itself, because Ling Xi found a whole small droplet of water on the cave wall, and those small droplets of water were not cold, but carried a blazing heat. Ling Xi felt it carefully, and found that there was a blazing heat like a flame hidden under the chill in the cave, which meant that the chill he felt at the first time was only used to cover up the blazing heat, if nothing else, the cold in the cave was only caused by the people of the Black Knife Village.
"Xiao Zi, are you cold?"
Ling Xi was not afraid of the cold in the cave, but he was a little worried about Xiao Zi, although Xiao Zi was a foreign beast, but it was very weak, and it was not as good as an ordinary Yuan Beast, so he might not be able to endure the cold in the cave.
Meow!
Xiao Zi screamed softly and shook her head to show that she was not afraid of the cold at all.
Ling Xi nodded, and then he was relieved. Then he remembered the cave where he had met the lava fire toad, the cave where the lava fire toad was hiding was extremely hot, if the cave in front of him was not affected by the black knife village, it should be as hot as the cave where the lava fire toad was hiding. However, there are always some subtle differences between the two in terms of heat. Like the cave where the lava fire toad is hiding, it may be affected by the lava fire toad, and the blazing feeling in the cave carries an evil aura, but the blazing feeling in the cave in front of him carries an aura, which is similar to the aura of Wang Shenshan, but the aura here is much richer, and it is likely to be caused by the legendary treasure.
Thinking of this, Ling Xi felt more and more that the legend was true, but unfortunately he didn't see any information about the treasure in the memories of those people before, he only knew that the Black Knife Village had captured a lot of strong men, presumably just to find the legendary treasure.
This is not surprising, it can only be said that the secrecy of the Black Knife Village has been done too well, after all, it involves the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, and the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce should be extremely concerned about the legendary treasure, otherwise it will not take the risk of challenging the imperial power to secretly establish a Black Knife Village in Tielin. This matter must have been done extremely rigorously by the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, and the insurance was naturally high, and the minions of the Black Knife Village could not touch that kind of secret at all, and Ling Xi would not be able to see the information about the treasure.
Ling Xi was thinking now, the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce was probably fully prepared, even if the matter of the Black Knife Village was revealed, the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce would be able to quickly clear up the relationship, and the Hongling royal family would not have too many clues if they wanted to investigate. In this way, the matter of Black Knife Village is not a big deal. Of course, this is just Ling Xi's speculation, regardless of whether the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce is fully prepared or not, anyway, the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce will have to deal with the rotten tail of the Black Knife Village during this time, and the pressure exerted on him will be reduced accordingly. Now it depends on how much trouble the Black Knife Village matter can cause to the Wanjin Merchants, the bigger the trouble, the more beneficial it will be for him, of course he hopes that the Black Knife Village will get bigger and bigger, so that the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce will have no time to take care of him.
Meow!
Xiao Zi saw that Ling Xi was a little distracted, and whispered in Ling Xi's ear.
Ling Xi immediately came back to his senses, he smiled and touched Xiao Zi's head, and then looked into the depths of the cave, he had a very strong premonition that the legendary treasure was in the depths of the cave. As for the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, no matter how much he wants now, it is useless, the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce will definitely come to hunt him down, this is only a matter of time, he just needs to reach the Longyan Mountain Range before the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce pulls away, once he enters the Longyan Mountain Range, it will be difficult for the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce to find him again.
After that, Ling Xi no longer thought about the affairs of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, and at the moment it was still the most important treasure, whether the legend was true or not, let's figure it out first.
After making up his mind, Ling Xi released his spiritual power. Outside the cave, his spiritual power could not penetrate into the cave, but when he reached the cave, his spiritual power could be expanded, and he surged directly towards the deepest part of the cave.
The situation in the cave instantly poured into Ling Xi's mind, and Ling Xi found that there were three forks in the middle of the cave, which seemed to have been dug by the Black Knife Village itself. Among the three forks, the two forks in the left only extended a distance before terminating, apparently the people of the Black Knife Village did not continue to dig, but the fork on the right has been extended, and it seems that the fork on the right is the path of the Black Knife Village to explore the treasure
With this clue, Ling Xi controlled his mental power to pour into the fork in the road on the right. After a while, Ling Xi's spiritual power rushed directly to the end, and there, at least seven or eight thousand people gathered, but most of them were ordinary people who did not cultivate well, and it seemed that they were all coolies who were caught by the Black Knife Village to dig treasures, and only a few bandits from the Black Knife Village were supervising those coolies on the side to see if they were working hard.
Those coolies didn't do anything else, but they gathered pieces of snow-white stones in one place, and that kind of stone Ling Xi knew, a kind of stone called Qianxue Stone. Thousand snow stone is generally produced in the veins of the snow mountain, not to say cherished, its role is also inconspicuous, can greatly reduce the temperature of a place, more in the hot summer some ordinary people will use, the low temperature in the cave is estimated to be caused by the black knife village with a thousand snow stone.
"Why does the Black Knife Village want to get so many Thousand Snow Stones?"
Ling Xi was puzzled, he really wanted to figure out why the Black Knife Village used so many Thousand Snow Stones to lower the temperature in the cave, and when his spiritual power probed towards the place where the Thousand Snow Stones were concentrated, he found that his spiritual power was isolated by a layer of energy cover, and that layer of energy cover was not under the Black Knife Village, it was more like a self-protection measure from a spiritual object.
"Is it a treasure?"
Ling Xi was overjoyed and couldn't wait to fly deeper into the cave.
After a while, Ling Xi reached the end of the cave, and the cave suddenly became wider.
Ling Xi found a hidden place, and then looked over and saw a blood-red thing in the place where the Thousand Snow Stones were stacked. It looked about the size of a ginseng, but it was bigger than an adult, and its fibrous roots resembled those of a dragon.
After seeing the appearance of the treasure, Ling Xi subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his face was both surprised and shocked, and after a long time, he said in disbelief:
"Could this be, Blood Jade Dragon Ginseng!?"
