Chapter 232: Xiao Yang Mountain, Gate
The southern end of the giant mountain range is mountainous, and the lake is easily recognizable in the middle of the mountains, and the 'Blue River' named after the dragon cypress roars into the lake, where it turns and flows from the turbulent southeast to the calm south.
In addition, more than a dozen rivers of all sizes flow into the lake, forming a fertile plain forest around it.
There are only a few small mountains around the lake, a few mountains, and only one large peak, which can be dug accurately.
Searching the cliff facing the lake, it took a little effort to find the entrance.
Parallel passages lead to habitual caves, all empty.
The main passage that spirals downwards is a fork in the road at intervals leading to a cave.
It's all empty.
Long Bai and Mo Lan trotted down the main passage, scanning with their mental power, and quickly reaching the end.
There is no remnant of God-given seeds.
There are no rough stones.
There are no extraterrestrial civilizations.
There are no tree hearts that have survived.
Nothing was found, seventeen days were wasted.
"Long Bai, where are you going? Go back to White Lotus Lake? ”
"From what I've observed, the seed given by the Night Fragrance God won't wake up anytime soon."
"It's late autumn, and you can consider the traveling merchants in the north. Going to Citishan? After we left last time, I don't know what Huang Yak did to cause violent Force fluctuations. Aren't you curious? ”
"Not curious. I won't be foolishly led away by curiosity. ”
Mo Lan: "??? ”
Mo Lan: "...... Neither will I. ”
Mo Lan was a little annoyed and said, "Then go to Xiaoyang Mountain?" Dig up the ruins of Xiaoyang Mountain first? ”
Long Bai: "Listen to you." ”
Listen to me? It's clear that you want to go there.
Mo Lan tilted her head, squinting and staring coldly.
The Throne of Domination takes off and heads north.
……
Steep mountains.
Evergreen trees, coxagulus red leaves, withered yellow deciduous leaves.
The blue, red, and yellow colors are clustered into bands, and the layers are distinct.
Eagles and falcons soar in the blue sky, and sheep and deer form herds in the forest.
Between two mountain ranges, there is a long and narrow lake, and on both sides is a golden forest of poplars.
The Throne of Domination was slowly descending and preparing to dock on the lakeside, Mo Lan's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly made a discovery, raising his claws and pointing at a distance, "Long Bai!" Over there! ”
Long Bai looked fixedly, under the cliff, among the grass and vines, there was a discordant white.
Can this be seen?
The dragon cypress was speechless, controlling the deflection of the throne, accelerating, and moving sideways closer.
Flooded with weeds and vines, the sliding doors from the wreckage of the starship were half buried in the dirt.
Doors painted white.
Long Bai raised his claw and knocked it, and directly identified it as the kind of light primordial metal commonly used by extraterrestrial civilizations.
The black frame should be a metal king-level zerg warrior, made of metal ability, and also used the ability to solidify, after 10,000 years of immortality.
This was once the territory of the Blue Bug tribe, which was gifted with metal-based elements. It is recorded in the Citishan Temple of Knowledge that they once mastered the technique of dismantling the door of the starship, dismantled all the doors in the starship, and transported them back to Xiaoyang Mountain.
True!
Mo Lan hurriedly jumped down from the throne, stepped forward to check, and then shouted in surprise:
"Dragon cypress! No locks! ”
Long Bai controlled the throne to land smoothly, and followed forward to check, there was indeed no lock, not no lock, but the door lock was removed. The Insect King-level Blue Bug Warrior used his metal ability to add two handles that were easy to push open and close.
"I can open it! Clean up the dirt in front of your door! ”
"Good!"
Long Bai and Mo Lan began to dig through the soil with their claws.
The width of the entrance gate of the cave is about four meters, and the height is about three meters.
Over the years, a layer of soft soil more than a meter thick accumulated at the door, which was easy to clean and quickly dug up.
The tip of the claw clasps the handle and pulls it left and right, loosening it with a little force and pulling it away easily.
Entering is a large living room.
It was not empty, but above it stood a sculpture of a blue bug warrior made of shiny black metal with a body length of nearly four meters.
On the left and right, two metal doors.
"Wow!" Merlan cheered and ran to the left.
The dragon cypress followed.
The single door opened, which originally had a lock, was removed and replaced with a handle.
Pull away easily.
Behind the door is a wide passage that is horizontally forward.
Walking forward for ten meters, there is a single door on the left, which is opened, and there is a cave directly behind it, which should be used for the Zerg warriors to live.
The entrance is the living room, and there are two small caves inside, which should be the bedroom and storage room.
Empty.
Ten meters further on, there is a single door on the right, and the same door is a spacious living room with two small caves.
Continue to move forward, about ten meters, and a single door appears on the left......
If you look closely, you can see that there is also a character number engraved on the top of each door.
Best of all, each room has a round hole with metal pipes removed from the starship.
These pipes have airflow through, in, and out.
The clever ventilation design is still relevant today!
"I see!"
Mo Lan suddenly woke up and said, "Long Bai, they are imitating the layout of the room inside the starship!" ”
Long Bai: "...... Yes. Imitate. ”
Mo Lan looked at the deep passage and said, "This is the area where the blue bug warriors live in a concentrated area!" It is located in the middle and upper strata of the mountain range, along the mountain range to the north. ”
Mo Lan: "The treasure should be on the other side, to the south!" ”
"Clever!" Long Bai turned around and returned to the entrance hall.
Mo Lan opened the door on the right side of the hall and rushed in.
It is also a cave passage that moves horizontally forward.
There is a door every four or five meters.
When you open it, you can see a separate cave with the relics of God-given seeds neatly stacked in pieces.
Sure enough, this is the treasure trove area.
On closer inspection, it is the remnant of some kind of poplar god-given seed.
Look room by room, it's all this stuff.
Walking forward, there are hundreds of rooms full of relics of at least three wild god-given seeds, which are too many to be used up, and it is not uncommon.
Further on, the room was empty.
The Blue Bug tribe was once rich and powerful.
A horizontal and straight kilometer passage, which turns down at the end, and a wide and straight horizontal passage below, neatly distributes the treasure trove rooms.
It's a pity that it's all empty.
There were no original stones left behind that Long Bai and Mo Lan were looking for, and there were no tree hearts or other extraterrestrial civilization creations.
"Long Bai, will you break down the door?" Mo Lan's gaze turned to the door.
"I won't—" Long Bai was disappointed.
According to the map of Citishan, Xiaoyang Mountain was once inhabited by about 5,000 warriors of the Blue Bug tribe, mastering five large and small rough stone mines, and other warriors of the same clan scattered on other hills, with more than 20,000 insect populations in the whole clan, which is the largest clan in the Cloud Trace Continent.
All that was left was God-given wreckage and metal doors.
The doors were all removed from the starship by the ancestors of the Blue Bug tribe, and they were probably worried that their doors would be demolished by other insects, so they were reinforced during installation.
The door frame made of metal ability is embedded in the stone wall and is unbreakable. The door is securely mounted on the door frame and is strategically fastened so that it does not interfere with the opening and closing and cannot be removed.
Seeing that Mo Lan was frustrated with his tentacles, Long Bai comforted: "The ghost fan is an awakening metal ability, and the ghost fan will evolve to the king level in the future, bring it over and dismantle it!" It's all demolished. ”
Mo Lan: "It's all insect kings, are these broken doors still rare?" ”
Long Bai: "If it is well preserved, it will be sent to the Wanzu Continent, and it can be sold for a high price of tens of thousands of rough stones with one fan." ”
"Oh!" Mo Lan's tentacles shook, silently calculated, cheered up, and echoed: "Bring the ghost fan here!" It's all demolished! ”
Long Bai waved his claws and said, "Go back to the throne and rest first!" ”
……
The Throne of Domination docked on the shore of the lake, ate and drank enough, and rested for a long time, and Long Bai and Mo Lan entered the ruins again.
A closer examination of the blue bug sculpture in the hall revealed nothing.
Re-entering the living quarters, following the passage, Long Bai checked to the left, Mo Lan to the right, and opened room by room to inspect.
Empty.
Empty.
Or is it empty......
"Dragon Cypress!"
At the end of the passage, Mo Lan, who was running ahead, called, with a faint sadness in her spiritual thoughts.
Long Bai's spiritual power unfolded with all his strength and swept away.
The sliding door, the spacious hall carved into a circle, is about 20 meters in diameter, and the metal walls are carved with patterns and symbols.
In the center, the corpse of a Zerg warrior is an empty shell, which has been gone for too long, and its six legs and tentacles have fallen off.
Mo Lan raised his claw to touch it, trying to lift the carapace, and with a clicking sound, the remaining carapace cracked.
Mo Lan Lightning retracted his claws, a little panicked and overwhelmed as the carapace crumbled in front of him, turning into splinters.
"Long Bai—" Mo Lan subconsciously called.
"It's fine. Turn around and carry it in a spider silk bag, take it out, and send this senior into the ground. Long Bai comforted, quickened his pace and ran inside.
Mo Lan suddenly became emotional, raised his claws and pointed at the fragments on the ground, and shouted fiercely: "Long Bai! There's something! ”
"Something?" Long Bai's spiritual power swept again, and he made a discovery.
A large 'bird's egg' with a metallic sheen in turquoise blue.
