Chapter 267: Returning to the Qin Mine
When leaving the valley, Lan Xinruo left alone, Tayan Wuqi transformed into a very ordinary-looking horse and bear child heading towards the deserted city, and Chu Feng and Qingxue went in the other direction, they were about to start looking for new resources.
For Chu Feng and Qing Xue, the two most difficult things to achieve at the moment are to find enough resources and enter the Ancient Wasteland to find the "Killing Word Recipe", the former can still hope to achieve it under the condition of having enough time, but the latter requires chance and creation, and life and death are unpredictable.
"Feng, where do you say we are going now, your feng shui treasure technique is also in some realm, look at the trend of this mountain and river landform, do you think that the nearby area is likely to contain the spiritual root of the mineral vein?"
"There are a few spiritual roots in the land just below my feet, but most of them have withered. Chu Feng shook his head and sighed, in these times, as long as he had spare time, he was studying the Feng Shui Heavenly Book, and the Feng Shui Treasure Technique had improved a lot compared to the past, looking at this vast northern land, he said: "The landform here should have changed many times a long time ago, and it is a pity that the mineral vein spirit root has been damaged in the process of formation." ”
"Let's go, the territory of the Northern Regions is vast, although the major forces occupy a large area of mineral veins, but for this land is only the tip of the iceberg, I believe that with your cultivation of Feng Shui Heavenly Book attainments, it won't take long for us to find a complete mineral vein spiritual root." ”
"Okay, let's go in that direction!" Chu Feng pointed to the southeast and walked through the air, his speed was not fast, he was in the air, but his eyes kept sweeping in all directions, watching the trend of the leyline, looking for the spiritual root of the mineral vein.
However, after searching for several days in a row, they had searched all over the land, but they had not found the real mineral vein spirit roots, they were all incomplete and withered, although there were some life stone source mines hidden under them, but for Chu Feng, that bit of resources was really a drop in the bucket.
"The spiritual root of the ore vein is difficult to find, it seems that the major forces must have invited people who know how to find ore when they divided the ore vein, otherwise the area they demarcated would not be able to hide such rich ore veins, and there would be no gain in a large area. ”
"Don't be discouraged, we've only been looking for a few days, the vein spirit root is not so easy to find, as long as we persist, we will definitely be able to find the mineral-rich vein. Even if the major forces invited experts who knew how to find ore back then, it was impossible for them to find out all the places where there were abundant ore veins. ”
"I'm not discouraged. Chu Feng smiled faintly, gently took Qingxue's hand, and pointed in a certain direction, "What do you see where that is?"
"It's the Qin Clan's mine, do you want to mine in their mine?" Qingxue's face was full of doubts, she knew that Chu Feng couldn't have wanted to rob the Qin Clan's mine, after all, it hadn't been long since the last time the mine was robbed, and there wasn't much ore mined in the mine at all.
"Yes, we're going to their mines!" Chu Feng nodded, his expression gradually becoming solemn, and said, "Do you remember what I once said about the evil ears in some of the Qin Clan's mines?"
When Qingxue heard this, she was slightly shocked in her heart, and said, "Is it a matter of spirit eaters?"
"Exactly!" Chu Feng's eyes shone as he said, "It's hard to estimate how long it will take us to find the precious ore veins, but if you think that where there are spirit eaters, there must be a good stone source mine hidden." It's just that such a mine is usually a taboo in the inheritance of mineral prospecting, and I think they must have told the major forces that such a mine cannot be mined. ”
Hearing this, Qingxue finally understood Chu Feng's plan, and said, "Do you think that most of those demonic mines were sealed by the powerhouses of the Qin clan, and they didn't mine because they were afraid, so we can just sneak into the mines and quietly mine the mining veins, right?"
"Yes, it's just that we have to make sure that there is no Supreme Elder in the Qin clan guarding here, if there is such a figure, then we must be extremely careful, otherwise it will be easy for them to see the clues. ”
After Chu Feng finished speaking, he and Qingxue quietly approached the Qin clan's mine, hiding outside the mine and observing for several days, during which they waited for the opportunity to capture the two Qin clan's inspecting disciples, forcibly searched their Divine Sense Sea, and learned a lot of information from them.
From the memories of the two Qin Clan disciples, it was learned that there was no Elder Taishang in the mine. It was true that the Supreme Elder had come here for a while, but then he had returned to the family and was guarded here by a few elite elders.
Chu Feng and Qing Xue quietly disposed of the corpses of the two Qin Clan disciples, and then cast a divine transformation technique to transform into their appearance, silently entering the mine, blending in with the Qin Clan, and no one could see the flaws.
"We waited until it was dark, and everyone rested, and then went to the two sealed mines to see if there was a way to sneak into them without causing any movement. Chu Feng talked to Qingxue with Yuan Shen fluctuations.
A lot of information was obtained from the sea of divine consciousness of the two Qin clan disciples, as long as it was a qiē that they knew, Chu Feng and Qing Xue completely copied it in their minds.
The two demonic mines were sealed, and it was Elder Taishang who personally sealed them, and since then, the entire mine has returned to normal, and there have been no more demonic things. However, it seems that something is not normal recently, and the miners in a certain mine seem very uneasy when they come out of work every day, but they say that nothing strange has happened, but they feel very frightened in their hearts.
Chu Feng has a deep understanding of the spirit eater from the Feng Shui Heavenly Book, and the spirit eater with a higher realm can naturally exude a very disturbing aura, it can quietly penetrate into people's psychology, but it will not be noticed, but it will inexplicably feel very uneasy and terrifying.
"Qingxue, this time we may really come to the right place, it seems that this mine of the Qin clan is very unusual, I don't know what kind of things are hidden underground, and there have been several demonic incidents in a short period of time. ”
"Since the Qin clan has a Supreme Elder to seal it, there are still spirit eaters appearing, which shows that those spirit eaters are very terrifying, if we venture into them, I am afraid there will be danger. Qingxue glanced at Chu Feng, there was a deep worry in the fluctuation of the Yuan Shen, since they were the disciples of the Qin clan at the moment, they couldn't be too obvious on the surface.
"I know you're worried about me, but I have an artifact that is the nemesis of this demon, and I think it should play a big role. Although this artifact needs to consume a large amount of divine energy essence when it is activated, I still have enough perfect quality life stone source liquid on my body, and I can use it to replenish the essence qi while urging that artifact when the time comes. ”
Hearing Chu Feng say this, Qingxue's worry in her heart was slightly reduced, and she didn't ask what the artifact in Chu Feng's mouth was.
In fact, what Chu Feng was talking about was the white jade human-faced green lantern, and he didn't mention this holy weapon in front of Qingxue, not because he didn't believe her, but because he forgot about it.
The white jade human face blue lantern was used too rarely, and usually Chu Feng didn't even remember that he still had such a holy weapon, and only remembered it when he needed to use it at a critical moment.
Gradually, the sun fell to the west mountain, and clusters of fiery clouds were left in the sky, reflecting the sunset red.
The workers who mined the veins in the major mines walked out of the mines one after another with tools and carts, their faces covered with dust and tiredness.
Finally, when the evening came, the miners returned to their residences one after another, and the entire mine gradually quieted down, only the footsteps of the patrol disciples echoed rhythmically in this empty world.
As the night deepened, Chu Feng and Qing Xue avoided their own sight from the patrol, and quietly came to the mine, and found the two mine caves that had been sealed, the entrance of the cave had long been sealed by solid bluestone, which was full of array runes, flashing faintly in the moonlight.
This kind of formation is very profound, Chu Feng's face couldn't help but sink slightly, after all, this was laid down by the Supreme Elder of the Dao Lord Realm, and it was not something that a Divine Bridge Secret Realm cultivator like him could crack at all.
"It's impossible to break the formation seal and enter the mine, we can only find another way!" Chu Feng squatted down and swiped his fingers on the ground, wisps of feng shui treasure patterns submerged into the soil, in order to observe the situation in the depths of the nearby earth.
"As we imagined, the Supreme Elder of the Qin Clan sealed the depths of the earth with a formation pattern, and cut off the veins in the two caves from the veins in the other caves, completely independent. Chu Feng said in a low voice, but a faint smile appeared on his face: "But what the Supreme Elder of the Qin Clan didn't expect was that the evil aura of those spirit eaters could corrode this formation, and they had already broken a few gaps in the formation seal, which was the same as the veins in a certain mine, and now they were all about to lead to the place where they had already been mined." ”
"In this way, the small ore vein that the spirit eater opened the seal leads to is the same mine cave that has made those miners uneasy in the past few days!" Qing Xue's eyes also lit up, and she said, "We have to find a suitable opportunity to enter the mine cave so as not to arouse the suspicion of the Qin people." ”
Chu Feng came to the recently somewhat abnormal mine, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I believe that something will happen in this mine soon, we always pay attention to the situation here, if there is a demonic time, then pretend to rush in to check the situation as soon as possible, and then deliberately pretend to disappear for no reason." I think that the people of the Qin clan will think that we have been devoured by spirit eaters, and only in this way can there be two fewer people among their patrol disciples without arousing any suspicion. ”
Qingxue nodded, saying that she very much agreed with Chu Feng's method, and at present, this is the only way to suddenly disappear without suspicion, after all, they are all pretending to be the identities of the Qin clan's patrol disciples, and they can't disappear without a reason.
They quietly returned to the patrol disciples, and although some people asked, they casually lied and dealt with it.
Now Chu Feng and Qingxue were waiting for an opportunity, and after a few days, the miners in the mine were pale and trembling when they came out every night, but they didn't find anything, they just felt terrified inexplicably.
During this period, several Qin disciples entered the cave together, but nothing was found. They didn't stay long, so they weren't so quickly consumed by the evil aura of the spirit eaters, so they naturally felt that it was not abnormal, so they didn't tell the elite elders about this matter.
