Chapter 230: The Mystery of the Salt Beast

Previous Chapter

City Lord Fang was naturally not so arrogant that he thought that only Yancheng would have salt mines, but there would never be salt crystals on the Blue Flame Mountain, or would it be such a high-quality refined salt.

Ye Xian stepped forward to take a look and muttered for a moment: "This looks like a crawling trace of insects." ”

Crawl tracks?

City Lord Fang frowned, and there were scattered thoughts in his mind, and they couldn't connect them together.

"It's the ancient book that's wrong."

Ye Xian and City Lord Fang suddenly turned their heads to look at Wen Renyan.

Wen Renyan's eyes were bright, "In ancient books, it was said that the demonic beast was called the Salt Beast and liked salt, but if this is the case, according to the size of the salt beast, the salt of the old salt mine would have been unable to meet its appetite for a long time."

However, except in recent years, the salt from the old salt mines has been in a steady supply, so this statement is contradictory. ”

City Lord Fang clenched his fists with some excitement.

A hazy conjecture ramps through the mind, ready to come out.

"Salt beasts don't like salt, they produce salt." Ye Xian said her thoughts word by word.

Wen Renyan nodded at her with a smile, "That's right, the author of the ancient book must have mistaken him for salt when he saw the salt beast and salt as his companion, but in fact, the salt was produced outside of his body. ”

"In other words, the salt from the old salt mine is actually produced by this salt beast!"

City Lord Fang's eyes widened in shock.

Looking back now, he realized that the old salt mine was indeed very different from the other salt mines in Yancheng, but they had never cared about it before.

"That salt beast isn't dead?!"

The City Lord Fang connected all the clues together, and gradually had a vein in his heart.

"Not only is it not dead, but it is stronger."

This is the only way to explain why the sea change occurred after they left.

The old salt mine is the lair of the salt beast, and Bian Qingyue asked people to take the salt beast away from the lair, inviting disasters and reaping the consequences.

"As for why the Salt Beast didn't let people get close to the old salt mine, I think it was undergoing an important upgrade, so it didn't let anyone disturb it."

Just as a warrior doesn't care about his sweat, the salt beast doesn't care about the salt secreted by his body, otherwise the old salt mine won't be mined.

"That's ......"

Fang City Lord muttered to himself, and he was in a trance for a while.

I thought that the salt beast was vicious, but I didn't expect that the salt mine that Yancheng relied on was born because of the salt beast, and the city lord Fang was complicated.

"If the old salt mine is to be sustained, then the salt beast must be sent back."

Wen Renyan saw that the city lord of Fang had not spoken for a long time, and spoke.

"Send it back?" City Lord Fang subconsciously frowned, and after reacting, he nodded again and again, "Yes, send it back!" Be sure to send it back! ”

Without the salt beasts, sooner or later the salt from the old salt mines would be mined.

And as long as there are salt beasts, salt will be endless.

Fang City Lord's body was shocked, and his face no longer had the previous hesitation and solemnity, but was replaced by irrepressible excitement and excitement.

After learning the true identity of the salt beast, he no longer resisted the salt beast, but was full of gratitude and love.

He had even considered that when he returned, he must ask someone to build a huge statue of the salt beast and place it in the center of Yancheng for all the people of Yancheng to admire.

But before that, the most important thing for him is to find the salt beast first, survive in front of the angry salt beast, and then think about sending it back to the old salt mine.

City Lord Fang secretly cheered himself up in his heart, for the sake of Yancheng, he would definitely be able to do it.

"Let's go, keep chasing!"

Ye Xian looked at the Fang City Lord who seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, hooked the corners of his lips funny, and then chased after Wen Renyan together.

Xu is Fang City Lord's wish is too strong, and Ye Xian and the three of them met Bian Qingyue who fled for his life not long after.

"Ye Xian! Save me! ”

The moment Bian Qingyue saw Ye Xian, her legs were weak, she fell to the ground, and a flash of joy flashed in her eyes.

There is no endless road.

She knew that she was lucky and that her life should not be extinguished!

"Why are you alone?" Ye Xian asked.

Bian Qingyue's eyes wandered, and when she was hesitating whether to tell the truth, she touched Ye Xian's cold gaze, and she lowered her head, "They are all dead." ”

The city lord was slightly surprised: "King Bian Wu is also ......"

"Hmm."

Fang City Lord's head instantly grew.

The strength of that King Bian Wu is between him and him, even he can't escape his fate, so he ......

City Lord Fang thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "What about the salt beast?" ”

"Salt beasts?"

"It's the monster that hunted you down!"

Bian Qingyue's face was frightened, and her voice trembled slightly, "I, I don't know." ”

From beginning to end, she didn't see what the salt beast that was chasing her behind her looked like.

"Hey!"

City Lord Fang sighed and turned his eyes for help to Wen Renyan and Ye Xian.

I don't know why, he always feels that these two people must have a way to solve it.

"It's hidden."

Wen Renyan pondered for a moment and shook his head.

If he could still feel the presence of the salt beast before, now he can't even capture the breath of the salt beast.

There was a trace of regret in the eyes of the city lord Fang, but Bian Qingyue suddenly raised his head.

Just when the city lord was at a loss, Ye Xian suddenly spoke.

"The salt beast is hiding in the belly of the mountain at this time."

Wen Renyan and the three of them looked at her at the same time when they heard the words.

Ye Xian was also feeling strange at this time.

Just now, she could suddenly sense another emotion.

Agitated, angry, scared......

Ye Xian knew very well that it was not her emotion, nor was it the emotion of anyone present.

So there is only one possibility.

Of course, Ye Xian did not draw conclusions based on speculation alone.

She tried to communicate with that emotion with mental power, and the other party really responded.

She looked at City Lord Fang: "In order to protect Bian Qingyue, King Bian Wu lured the salt beast to the belly of Blue Flame Mountain, blew up the exit, and it got lost. ”

"Lost, lost......"

Fang Cheng advocated a big mouth, and his expression was a little funny.

A magical beast with a strength beyond the Beastmaster would actually get lost?

This is very inconsistent with the image of the salt beast that the city lord has imagined in his heart.

Bian Qingyue's eyes were cold: "How do you know?" ”

Ye Xian didn't need to look at it to know what Bian Qingyue was thinking.

She ignored Bian Qingyue and looked at City Lord Fang: "It wants to return to the place where it used to live. ”

"Yes, of course! What should I do! ”

If he could, the city lord couldn't wait to carry the sedan chair and invite the salt beast back.

Ye Xian half-squinted his eyes and communicated with the salt beast, and after a while, he said, "It doesn't know how to get out, and wants us to go in and pick it up and send it back." ”

"Good! Let's go now? ”

City Lord Fang didn't doubt Ye Xian's words at all, and his blood was boiling.

Wen Renyan also looked at Ye Xian quietly, waiting for her instructions.

Ye Xian smiled, "Follow me." ”

With that, he headed for a crack in the mountain not far away.

City Lord Fang followed.

Bian Qingyue's eyes flashed, and she was about to catch up to find out, but she was frozen in place by a cold look.

Wen Renyan retracted his gaze indifferently and turned to leave.

Bian Qingyue stood in place, her face changing uncertainly.

"Ye Xian, even if you walk, you will definitely die next time!"

She glanced at Ye Xian's direction with a cold look in her eyes, turned her back and limped away.
