The Xuantian Mountain Range stretches for thousands of miles, barren and populated all year round, and there are countless poisonous insects and beasts inside, and even demon beasts are not a few.

However, when Xuantian Mountain was first established, the seniors of the division made sense of the Xuantian Mountain Range. After that, every once in a while, the sect would arrange for many foundation building period monks to investigate and clean the Xuantian Mountain Range to ensure that there would be no demon beasts above the second level in the Xuantian Mountain Range.

Even the first-level top-level demon beasts and flying demon beasts were also within the scope of killing, and after many years, the entire Xuantian Mountain Range was still relatively safe for the disciples of Xuantian Mountain.

Somewhere high in the sky of the Xuantian Mountain Range, a crane chirped and a white crane shattered the white clouds and flew out of it.

The white crane is unusually strong, and its wings are several feet in size, and it is an extraordinary breed at first glance. However, at this time, four people sat opposite each other on the broad back of the white crane.

The first one had a big waist and a round waist, and a head of hair, which looked a little vicious, and the other two young men, one was quite handsome but thin, and the other was tall and handsome. And the last person was a young girl with a green face.

These three men, one woman and one crane are Qin Qi and his party.

After Senior Brother Wei's introduction before departure, Qin Qi also knew that the handsome young man was called Wu Jun, and the young girl was called Bai Wan'er, both of whom were inner disciples, and Qin Qi was one year earlier.

However, Qin Qi was already older when he started, so except for Senior Brother Wei, his age was greater than that of Wu Jun and Bai Wan'er, but when he was in cultivation, Qin Qi fell behind.

Therefore, after these two greeted Qin Qi, they were not very enthusiastic. Although he didn't show it, Qin Qi could feel a trace of contempt from the two. However, Qin Qi can also understand, after all, he is only at the eighth level of qi refining, one of them is the ninth layer of qi refining, and the other is the tenth layer of qi refining.

Understanding is understanding, Qin Qi is too lazy to stick a hot face to a cold butt, plus he is also a relatively taciturn person, and Senior Brother Wei is concentrating on operating the white crane, so as not to fly in the wrong direction, so the atmosphere is a little cold.

The white crane carrying the four people was leased from the Beast Breeding Pavilion of the Sect, and the Xuantian Mountain Beast Breeding Pavilion was not as famous as the Ten Thousand Beast Sect in the Nine Sects of the Five Kingdoms, after all, the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate started with beast control, and he was the most proficient in various beast control techniques, and he was also the main beast control when fighting with others.

The main thing in the Xuantian Mountain Beast Breeding Pavilion is to cultivate all kinds of demon beasts with special abilities, such as the white crane, which is widely praised by low-level disciples.

However, there are also rumors that the Beast Breeding Pavilion will also help many high-level monks in the mountain gate cultivate and take care of spirit pets, but Qin Qi didn't see it when they went to rent the white crane.

A few hours later, a huge canyon suddenly appeared in the endless mountains below, deep and steep, as if it had been cut out by a great supernatural person.

Senior Brother Wei, who had been driving the white crane to hurry, looked relieved when he saw the canyon, and laughed loudly: "We have arrived!" With that, he let the white crane fall towards the canyon. He was also a little tired from driving the spirit beast for a long time, after all, other people could meditate and recuperate, but he had to concentrate all the time.

As the height decreased, the canyon became wider and wider, and the complete appearance of the bottom was also presented in front of Qin Qi.

The bottom of the canyon was bare. There are countless large and small potholes on the iron-gray surface, and the black ones are in the middle of winter, and the depth is not visible at all.

Qin Qi guessed that it should be the masterpiece of the Xuantian Ant that Senior Brother Wei said, and of course it might also be the credit of the disciples of Xuantian Mountain who have taken on this task over the years.

The speed of the white crane's fall was very fast, and before Qin Qi could finish looking at the whole canyon, it had already landed steadily on a low slope at the mouth of the canyon.

Several people jumped off the crane's back and gathered in front of the mouth of the canyon.

"Senior Brother Wu, Senior Sister Bai, these are two bottles of liquid medicine that attracts Xuantian ants, which are mixed with things that make Xuantian ants estrus, and I wasted a lot of effort to let the guys in the Beast Breeding Pavilion make it for me. One bottle of potion lasts for about half an hour, so you two should use these two bottles for at least an hour. However, it should not be difficult to come to Senior Brother Wu's medium-grade green leaf boat. Senior Brother Wei said as he handed over the two bottles of liquid medicine to the two of them.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Wei." Wu Jun nodded reservedly, "With Senior Sister Bai's help, there is no problem." ”

Bai Wan'er smiled slightly and didn't say anything, but looking at her expression, she was also full of confidence in Senior Brother Wu.

"Senior Brother Qin, the two of us are responsible for digging the Xuantie Stone, with your medium-grade magic sword, it shouldn't be slow to dig up. By the way, do you recognize the balaite ore handle? After Senior Brother Wei and Wu Jun finished explaining, they turned their heads and asked Qin Qi.

"Don't worry, when you take the task, there is a physical copy in the task jade slip, and it has already been written down." Qin Qi nodded and said that there was no problem.

After Senior Brother Wei assigned the task, everyone said that there was no problem, and then the action began.

Wu Jun took out a green leaf-shaped boat several feet in size from the storage bag, and under the drive of mana, it rose to the size of one zhang. Then he and Bai Wan'er boarded the boat and flew over the pothole in the canyon.

Bai Wan'er opened the cap of the vial, and used her mana to excite it, the liquid medicine in the bottle immediately volatilized, and an indescribable smell spread, and even Qin Qi at the mouth of the canyon smelled it, and couldn't help frowning.

And Bai Wan'er didn't seem to think it was enough, and with her other hand, she pinched the trick to summon a light breeze and blew it towards the hole.

Soon, the originally quiet tunnel began to rustle, as if a lot of things were crawling through, and it was getting louder and denser, and finally a black ant the size of a human head poured out of the tunnel like flowing water.

Qin Qi's scalp was a little numb when he saw it hidden in the distance, this is only a small scale, how huge the Xuaniron ant population on those Xuaniron Stone Mines is, no wonder the strength of the single body is barely a low-level, but it needs a high-level monk to clean it up.

After luring out the Xuantie ant colony, Wu Jun did not immediately send Qingye Zhou away, but instead aired over more potholes, attracting more Xuantie ants. At this time, he pinched his hands, and Qingye Zhou suddenly shone brightly and accelerated away.

The Xuantian ant colony that gathered on the ground like a hundred rivers entering the sea was also like a flood, rushing to chase the two of them.

Seeing the Xuantian ant colony crawling away, Senior Brother Wei and Qin Qi immediately set up a take-off wheel and flew over.

"Senior Brother Qin, you and I will meet at the mouth of the valley in one hour. Be careful, there may be some scattered black iron ants in the depths of the pit. Senior Brother Wei said solemnly.

"Okay, Senior Brother Wei, thank you for the reminder." Qin Qi arched his hand and responded.

They each chose a pit and went into it.

……

In the narrow tunnel, the air was cloudy, and there was not a single light.

Suddenly, a halo of light came from far and near, and a faint white light shone on the potholed mine, forming a large number of light and shadow intertwined, which looked extremely gloomy. A figure in the halo seemed to be completely unconscious, walking smoothly in the mine.

As an immortal cultivator, Qin Qi certainly wouldn't be afraid of this kind of environment, but instead looked at the mine with great interest, deep underground, the mine was extremely dry.

And he had been walking for a quarter of an hour, and the color of the dirt around him was still the same iron-gray as the surface of the canyon. It seems that there is no reason why a balaite mine can be formed here, although it is only a miniature mine.

Suddenly, a flash of reflection flashed, Qin Qi's figure stopped, and as soon as his mana moved, the magic sword that had been suspended beside Qin Qi pierced into the pit wall, and then quickly turned around, and then around the sword body, a piece of ore flew out and was caught by Qin Qi.

The excavated ore was like black jade, and it was a little scorching and shining under the white light, but it was the reflection that was discovered by Qin Qi. After all, although Qin Qi's five senses are sensitive, he has not built a foundation, his divine sense is not born, and he can't detect the ore hidden in the depths. However, this is only a dark iron stone ore, and if you want to get a dark iron stone, you have to send it to the Hundred Refining Pavilion of the sect for refinement.

Listening to Senior Brother Wei, Xuantie Stone can also refine Xuantie, and Xuantie can also refine Xuantie Crystal. Darkiron crystals can be used as materials for refining magic weapons, but the amount of darkiron stones needed is unimaginably large.

Putting away the baitestone ore, Qin Qi was about to continue deeper, when he suddenly heard a "rustle" sound from the depths, and quickly approached him.

Qin Qi frowned and stopped. To be on the safe side, he first pinched a few talismans in his hand, and the magic sword was also aimed at the direction from which the voice came.

Soon, a dark dark iron ant appeared in front of Qin Qi's eyes, but before the dark iron ant could attack, the magic sword shot at the black iron ant like an arrow off the string, but to Qin Qi's surprise, the magic sword was bounced away with a "ding", but the black iron ant was still knocked over by the impact and leaked out of the abdomen.

Without waiting for the Xuantie Ant to turn over, Qin Qi decisively increased his mana envoy, and the magic sword stabbed the Xuantie Ant from the abdomen with a "poof". The Darkiron Ant's body suddenly stiffened, and several feet waved a few times unconsciously, and then stopped moving completely.

Looking at the corpse of the Xuantie ant, Qin Qi thought secretly, it seems that as Senior Brother Wei said, there are still scattered Xuantie ants in the pit, but they are not large-scale, and they will not pose any threat to him.

After killing the Xuantie ant, Qin Qi cut off the jaws of the Xuantie ant. Although the strength of the Xuantie Ant is low, its jaws that break the golden stone are still collected by the Hundred Refining Pavilion and cannot be wasted.

……

An hour later, the four Qin beggars gathered again on the small hillside at the mouth of the canyon. At this time, Senior Brother Wu's aura was a little weak, and it seemed that the long-term imperial envoy Qingye Zhou was also a big burden for him.

"Senior Brother Wu, are you okay?" Senior Brother Wei looked at Wu Jun, who was a little pale, and asked with some concern.

"It's okay, it's just that the mana is too depleted for a while, just rest for a while. However, it is better for us to leave quickly, because I am afraid of attracting other demon beasts, so I just take the Xuantie ant colony around the canyon, and then fly back with all my strength after the potion is used up. It is estimated that the colony will return soon. ”

After hearing this, Senior Brother Wei reached out and patted Wu Jun's shoulder without saying anything.

Then he took out a bamboo whistle and blew it vigorously, and the crisp whistle spread, and a crane chirped with it. The white cranes hiding around fluttered their wings and flew away, carrying several people up and rushing away into the sky.

Not long after Qin Qi and the others drove away, a rumbling sound sounded from the forest, and the dense Xuantian ants returned to the canyon with instinct after losing the attraction of the medicinal liquid. After entering the canyon, the huge ant colony breaks into a stream of ants, disappears into different holes, and quickly disperses.

The canyon gradually became quiet, even a little deadly.
