There is only one person in the footprints, and looking at its depth, this person will not work lightly, it should not be in Xiao Yan's group.

But judging by the span of the footprints, this man should be a young man, like a soldier.

"Let's go along and have a look."

If it is a soldier, it should be the officers and soldiers stationed here in the imperial court.

And there is a line of pheasant footprints near this footprint, this person should have wanted to come over to catch pheasants, so he left an order.

Since he came out of the barracks, he would definitely go back, and he would be able to find the exact location of the gold mine by following his footprints.

Mt. Momoba, the heavy snow for several days has made the mountain colder, but the cold is still secondary, and what is even more disturbing is that fear spreads like a maggot on the tarsal bone among the Eastern Guard.

They are in Taoye Mountain, and they have a clearer understanding than those in the capital.

Previously, Qin Zheng's people spent half a year digging a mine hole in this mountain, and after the Ministry of Industry took over, they arranged for several groups of people to go down to dig for gold, but almost all the people who went in died inside.

Not even a single corpse, not a single bone residue remained.

Just yesterday, a general of the Eastern Guards took a few men in black down to the mine to investigate the situation, but he still hasn't come out.

No one holds out any hope that they will come back alive.

Qin Wan and Ziyan probed the situation of the Eastern Guards on the periphery, but they didn't see Xiao Yan and the others, so they arrested someone and asked about the situation.

After learning that someone had taken a few black-clothed people who were not from the Eastern Guard Army down to the mine, Qin Wan's first reaction was Xiao Yan.

That night, Qin Wan let Ziyan stay outside and quietly went down the mine by himself.

As soon as he went down, a fishy wind rushed up from below.

The smell of blood and rancidity, and a musty smell, was very unpleasant.

The mine inside was pitch black and twisty, and she lit a lamp and walked deeper.

After walking for about half an hour, she heard a scream in front of her, so she turned off the lamp and quietly followed.

There was a torch burning over there, and a huge monster with a long snake was bound by thin silk threads, and was struggling frantically, it had no scales, its dark blue skin was glowing with green slime, and a huge mouth occupied almost the entire head, which looked very terrifying.

"Drag it out."

A familiar voice came from there, and Qin Wan immediately recognized that it was Xiao Yan.

In the face of such a monster, his tone is still very calm, and there is a calming effect.

The rest of the people subconsciously obeyed Xiao Yan's order in panic, and dragged the monster out together.

Qin Wan didn't go up, but hid in the ear hole on the side.

The monster was five or six feet long, and its head was twice the size of a human head, and it could swallow two people at the same time with a single mouth.

Xiao Yan walked at the back of the line, he was wearing a hood, and his expression could not be seen clearly in this dim cave room, but under the light of the torch held by Yuanying on the side, Qin Wan saw that he was stained with some monster green slime.

After they all went out, Qin Wan went to the place where he had captured the monster just now and took a look.

The monster had come out of the surrounding dirt, and it seemed to be at ease in the dirt, and it had made several large sinuous holes in the surrounding places.

Qin Wan checked it and turned around to leave, but when he passed by a hole drilled by a monster, a large piece of slime suddenly spurted out of it.

She immediately sensed the danger and subconsciously hid in the space.

When I came back to my senses, I found that there was an identical monster lurking in the cave.

Qin Wan didn't like this kind of sticky and slippery thing, and after coming out of the space, he took a blue spray gun and sprayed it at the monster.

This is the ice transformer specially developed in the base in the previous life to deal with these sticky and slippery monsters, which can solidify the mucus on their bodies, and after solidification, they are equivalent to entering a cage, almost unable to break free, and the mist emitted by the ice transformer is poisonous, attached to the body surface for a long time, it will continue to absorb the water in their bodies, without the mucus on the body surface to continue to moisten the skin, and a large amount of water in the body is lost, they will soon die.

After the monster was sprayed, it couldn't move, and its mouth opened wide, turning into an ice sculpture.

Qin Wan swept his eyes, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that there was a fist-sized piece of gold in the hole next to him that was drilled by the monster.

Qin Wan only then remembered.

It's a gold mine!

She took out her metal detector and inspected the surrounding mineral deposits, and when she opened it, dense golden dots suddenly appeared on the instrument.

And about ten zhang directly below the place where she was standing, was a very large gathering place of gold.

After hesitating for a moment, she didn't dig now, but got out of the gold mine first.

It was almost impossible for her to dig up so much gold quietly on her own, even if she had so many tools.

It's better to wait until the court digs up all the gold, and then she goes to pick up the cheap, and when the time comes, she will wave her little hand, and the gold will be all there, which is much more convenient than now.

Thinking of this, she went straight out of the gold mine.

And now, the monster was dragged to the ground, and in the sunlight, its movements became extremely sluggish, and the slime on its body gradually dried up, and it lay on the ground, dying.

All the people in Peach Leaf Mountain came to see this monster curiously, thinking that this monster had eaten so many people, even if it was tied up by five flowers, no one dared to approach.

Only a middle-aged man in a red official uniform came to this monster under the protection of a few guards, looking at this behemoth five or six feet long, his face was very pale.

"Yi Gongzi, how about this monster be sent to the capital first, and then you can take it away?"

Capturing this kind of monster is definitely a great achievement, and Yuan Chu naturally can't let go of this opportunity.

Xiao Yan didn't speak, and Yuan Ying on the side said: "Lord Yuan, I'm afraid there is more than one monster in this mine, we have to take this one away first, and the next one can be handed over to you." ”

This is a very important research specimen for them, and they should send it out as soon as possible.

"What? And also? Yuan Chu was frightened, but fortunately, the guards beside him helped him.

"We're going to have to figure out how to deal with these monsters faster and more effectively, and you don't come near here again." Yuanying said.

Yuan Chu nodded again and again.

He's just a civil official, and he didn't want to do this kind of thing, and it's happening now.

If it weren't for the fact that the matter was done, he would have left a long time ago.

The Eastern Guard was dispersed, Xiao Yan and Yuanying entered the tent, and the monster lay on the ground, gradually stopped moving in the light of the setting sun.

"Ah......h

Suddenly, a man in black let out a low cry, and everyone saw it in him.

The hands and arms stained with monster slime were clearly starting to turn black.
