Rest overnight on the shore of the lake and move early the next morning, starting at the largest mountain.

Long Bai will dominate the throne and stop at the top of the mountain, one south and one north with Mo Lan, and look for it down the mountain.

Zerg warriors are accustomed to carving caves under steep cliffs.

Specifically go to those steep places, and the mental power scans and searches.

No, no, no......

The dragon cypress completes the search as quickly as possible, galloping back to the throne and urgently replenishing the Force.

"Didn't find ......" Mo Lan followed, rested for a while before relieving himself, and asked, "Long Bai, do you want to look for the east and west?" ”

"Let's look for it."

Long Bai unscrewed a jar of Force Ant Honey, dipped it and ate some of it, and handed it to Mo Lan.

Most of the Zerg warriors are accustomed to digging caves on the south or north sides of the peaks, but it is not excluded that some maverick insects prefer to build caves on the east or west side.

Long Bai and Mo Lan recovered their strength, rested, and set off again.

Still nothing has been found.

Half a day passed.

After a short break, the Throne of Domination takes off and stops at the small mountain next to it.

Keep looking.

By noon, there was still no gain.

Continue in the afternoon until late at night.

The next day, nothing was found.

On the third day, there was still no ......

Nothing for four days in a row.

11 of the 17 peaks have been found.

Late at night, eat by the lake to replenish your energy.

Long Bai began to analyze the situation:

"Too much time has passed, the geological changes, and the habitation cave that was once dug by the Zerg warriors has long since collapsed."

"If there was a treasure trove like Citishan, the entrance would have collapsed. It could also be a landslide, where the soil and rocks flowed, burying the entrance and exit of the cave. ”

"Yes—" Merlan agreed.

The vast mountains and forests are also the vacuum environment of the Force, and the steep cliff slopes are specially picked, and it is laborious enough for the mental power to scan and find the hole entrance.

If you look for a hole buried by rocks, mud, trees and grass, it will be even more difficult, and even if you spend an entire winter, you may not be able to find it.

"Long Bai, what good idea have you come up with?"

"There's no good way, but there's a stupid way to think of one."

"How stupid?"

"Choose a suitable location and dig a passage directly into the interior of the mountain. Referring to Citi Mountain, if there are Zerg warriors who open up a treasure trove of construction inside the mountain, most of them will use the soil system to harden and reinforce, and they will encounter it after digging a certain distance. ”

"It's really not very clever......

Mo Lan said, sighing, "But I can't think of a smarter way." ”

Long Bai: "I'll dig it, and you will carry the soil." ”

Mo Lan: "Hunt a wild boar and make a pigskin bag." ”

Long Bai: "The leader of the Zerg warriors who live in the colony usually lives on the highest mountain to assert his leadership. Still starting from the largest mountain. From the lower part of the mountainside, find a suitable cliff to excavate. ”

Mo Lan: "Okay! ”

……

The next morning in the mountains.

Long Bai chooses a location, clears the surrounding vegetation, docks on the throne, and excavates with its claws.

The tunnel does not need to be dug too big, the diameter is about 40 cm, and it can be drilled.

Dig for a while, quit, return to the throne to rest, and resume replenishment.

Intermittently, for another two days, fifty or sixty meters deep into the belly of the mountain, the brownish-red shale suddenly turned black-brown and was unusually hard.

"Dragon cypress?"

Mo Lan, who was following behind, noticed it for the first time.

"Got it!" Long Bai's six legs moved in unison and stepped back.

Mo Lan raised his claws and pushed Long Bai back, urging, "What are you going to step back?" Dig in! ”

Long Bai: "......"

Long Bai: "The soil ability of the insect king, permanently hardened, is ten thousand times harder than my claws. ”

"Oh-"

Mo Lan: "You come out." I got it! ”

Exit the tunnel.

The dragon cypress returns to the throne to rest.

Mo Lan drilled in alone, and quickly retreated again, "The ability of the insect king is really powerful, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times harder than my claws. I can't dig either. ”

Mo Lan: "What should I do?" Looking for an entrance? There must be an entrance. If you have, you'll be able to find it. ”

Mo Lan: "But, how can you find such a big mountain?" ”

Mo Lan was enthusiastic and tried her best to think.

Seeing that it couldn't think of a reason for a long time, Long Bai said: "The inheritance memory guides the Zerg warriors to build caves under the cliffs to hide from the wind and rain and natural predators, so that the seeds can be stored dry, which is eternal and unchanging. No matter how landslides the mountain is, the cliffs are unlikely to turn into gentle slopes. So, we're still looking under the cliffs. ”

"Dig in dots, dig down against the cliffs, and dig four or five meters down at each point."

Mo Lan clicked his tentacles and sighed: "This method is also a bit stupid~"

"Don't rush, look for it slowly."

The dragon cypress controlled the throne to slowly rise into the air, flying around the peak, looking at it for a while, and finally stopping at the top of the mountain.

Observe, calculate.

led Mo Lan to a cliff on the southeast side, looked left and right, chose a good location, and beckoned to excavate.

Dig straight down.

Mo Lan stood outside, tethering a bag sewn from animal skins with a spider silk rope and lifting the earth and gravel out.

Soon, the first point was dug to a depth of four or five meters.

No.

Change positions and continue to ......

No.

This method is still time-consuming and labor-intensive......

"Mo Lan, are you coming?"

"I'm coming? Ants are better at burrowing. ”

"I'll let you pick a spot. Where, you say, dig from? ”

"Oh-"

Mo Lan walked a few steps, thought for a moment, and clicked his tentacles, "Here!" ”

Re-excavation.

No.

Mo Lan re-elected.

Dig again.

Still not......

Forty or fifty meters below the cliff, there are 8 vertical holes in a long slip.

Just when Long Bai seriously doubted that Mo Lan's kind of dark perception was not working......

The ninth vertical hole was dug two or three meters deep, and it ran into gravel head-on, and Long Bai habitually swept his spiritual power in the direction of the cliff wall......

The tentacles flickered.

"Here! Got it! ”

"Found it?"

Mo Lan subconsciously couldn't believe it, and then shouted wildly: "Dig quickly!" ”

Dragon cypress digs with a wave of its claws.

As speculated, the cave was blocked by the weathering and shedding of the rocks on the cliff wall and the flow of soil caused by heavy rains.

In the direction of the cliff, there is only a layer of more than two meters that can be penetrated by spiritual power, and it is easy to dig through.

In front of it is a semicircular passage with a width of about 1.5 meters, and a stone wall that has been solidified by soil ability.

Turn left, turn right.

Ten meters ahead, there is a spacious hemispherical cave, and in the center is a square platform carved from cyan jade.

This is the living room, and when a distinguished guest visits, he sits around the table, and the food is placed on the table.

The cave was full of branches.

Cypress branches and leaves.

The blocked passages were dug open, fresh air flowed in, and the branches quickly decayed, blackened, and shattered.

"It's—"

"It's kind of—"

"The wreckage of a God-given seed!"

"Cypress God-given seed!"

"Fruit Dragon?"

According to the map of Citishan, there are three wild god-given trees in the lake, one of which is the fruit dragon cypress.

Is it it?

Dead -

Long Bai and Mo Lan glared at each other for a while, and sorrow came from their hearts.

After the sadness, there is irrepressible joy.

Long Bai led the way, quickly passing through the passage and into a cave on the side.

The carapace remains of a shattered Zerg warrior.

Neatly stacked cypress branches.

Scanning the spiritual power, that's right, the side branches of a super-large cypress tree with a god-given seed.

Ahead of the passage, there was another cave four or five meters away, which was full of branches.

As you walk down the passageway, spiraling downward, at intervals there is a room, one by one, filled with branches, roots, and trunks that have been cut into pieces.

With varying degrees of decay and carbonization, the Force has been drained, but the nature of the Origin that was once a top-level god-given seed still exists.

I just learned from the Citi Hill Knowledge Palace: The remains of God-given seeds are the best quality fertilizer, which is of great benefit to the growth and development of cypress species, especially dragon cypress species.

"Long Bai, are we getting rich?"

“…… It seems like yes. ”

"These caves were originally used to hoard rough stones?"

"Obviously."

"That's—"

Mo Lan quickly rushed downward.

Long Bai was not in a hurry and kept up slowly.

Mo Lan has eaten a lot of black lotus seeds, and she has not grown at all.

With a little brain, you can think that if there is a rough stone, how can this fruitful dragon cypress god-given seed die?

Sure enough, soon, Mo Lanfei ran back, "Yinghu is much poorer than Citishan. The caves below are empty. There are no rough stones. There are no extraterrestrial civilizations. ”
