206. The Secret of the Cannon

Qingshi thought that the cannon had exploded, but Xiang An was not very relieved, he got another log, tied a frog and threw it to the opposite bank, yes, a frog, because the fish ran out, Xiaopang was a small fish according to the number of logs they had, and there was no more than one.

Xiang An wanted to try again, so he could only go to Chubby, and this time, Chubby gave him a frog. The frog did not trigger the shelling, and it seems that Aoshi's judgment was correct.

The artillery on the opposite bank was dumbfounded, and the rest was simple.

Bluestone released a small airship with the best defense, and then the four of them flew up to the opposite shore.

Bluestone added a concealment array to the dinghy, and at the same time, the four of them repaired the damaged armor to the best condition.

This time it went well, most of the sea spirits didn't find the airship, so there were only a dozen water arrows that hit the airship, and the power of the water arrows was not great, and they basically didn't cause damage to the airship.

After successfully crossing the river, Qingshi drove the airship directly to the position of the array gun, and soon saw the large array, which was located in the dense forest, about a hundred zhang away from the river.

Qingshi landed the airship on the edge of the large array, only to see that the thick array cannon was indeed blown up.

The four of them got off the boat and stood on guard, except for the wisps of green smoke that were still emitting from the bombed cannons, there was a dead silence in all directions, and there was no trace of birds and beasts or insects.

The vegetation was extremely lush, except for the area of the array, which was a few dozen zhang in radius, the rest of the place was completely covered with thick tree roots and vines, and it was obvious that no one had come to clean up the vegetation for a long time.

The air was filled with a sinister aura, the concentration of which far exceeded that of the east bank of the river, which was extremely uncomfortable, but the aura in the air was also stronger than that of the east bank.

Qingshi asked Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian to be on guard and investigate the surrounding environment, but he and Xiang An began to study this cannon array.

This large array disk is indeed very similar to the Golden Cloud Disk of the Immortal Sword Sect, and its function is mainly to protect the equipment set on it from being eroded by wind and rain.

In addition to protecting the array gun, it also integrates functions such as intruder identification, automatic charging, and reloading, making it a highly automated automatic artillery system.

And now, the array cannon has exploded, and at the same time destroyed other functions, and the entire circle has been transformed from a highly intelligent defense system into a pile of dead objects.

The magic circle system was damaged, but it did not prevent Qingshi and Xiang An from studying it, and it took Qingshi less than two hours to basically figure out the secret of the array disk system.

In terms of magic, it is not very profound, only its spiritual source is an eye-opener for bluestone, because its spiritual source actually comes from an underground spiritual vein, not an earth vein, but a spiritual stone vein.

Qingshi had never seen a spiritual stone vein in its natural state, and this time it was an eye-opener.

There is a circular control room with a diameter of two zhang under the huge array disk, and when you open a metal lid under the control room, you can see that below is a natural cave that is slightly smaller than the control room, and there is a blue transparent crystal cylinder with the thickness of two people hugging each other naturally growing in the cave, which is the aboveground part of the spirit stone vein.

Dozens of golden threads stretched out from a metal device in the control room, all of which were inserted into the spirit stone crystal pillar, which was obviously the wire for extracting the spiritual power of the spirit stone veins.

The lower part of the crystal pillar is deeply rooted in the ground, and I don't know how large it is below, but just from the section that emerges from the ground and is more than a zhang long, there are at least millions of spirit stones. Moreover, the quality of these spirit stones is very high, which can be regarded as top-grade.

A few people looked at this thick spirit stone vein, and they were all excited, all of them calculating how many spirit stones they would harvest if they dug along it, which was at least tens of millions to count!

In addition to figuring out the spiritual source, through the equipment and defense diagrams in the control room, Qingshi also figured out some other issues, such as the defense situation and the distribution of buildings in the entire area within the river channel.

This spiritual stone vein is the only branch of the main vein on the island, in addition to the largest array and array cannon established on it, the more than thirty spiritual power wires branched out by it also support more than thirty other equipment for different purposes, there are twenty-four such array disks and array cannons, but their scale is smaller than this one.

Qingshi found that judging from the position where he flew over the river, the first to find the airship and fire the cannon should be the other two smaller array guns on the periphery.

Curious, Qingshi immediately went to the location of the two array guns according to the map, intending to find out. It turned out that the two cannons were indeed there, but they were small in size, and they had long been disconnected from the spiritual source, and had been covered and entangled by trees and vines, thus growing into one with the forest, and they were also so corroded by wind and rain that they were almost unrecognizable.

Qingshi Xindao, it seems that this place has been abandoned for a longer time than he originally thought. It is estimated that in addition to the main gun, the other array guns and even other facilities have already turned into garbage like these two array guns, and have been buried in ruins by the long river of time.

The island's defensive array artillery should be gone, and even if there are any working ones, they no longer pose a threat, because they can be solved by disconnecting all the golden wires.

However, what exactly these array cannons are protecting, they still haven't figured it out, they only know that in the center of the area surrounded by this river, above the main vein of the spirit stone vein, there should be an underground palace and a ground building, as for what it is, it is still a secret.

Bluestone is not in a hurry to explore the secret, it may have been waiting in the jungle for thousands of years, and Bluestone is not afraid that it will run away.

Judging from the fact that this main cannon is still functioning, it is undoubtedly more likely that the things built on the main vein are intact, and it will undoubtedly be more terrifying, and it is obviously not advisable to break in rashly. Besides, Qingshi has to study the array cannon first.

Another few hours passed, and the sun had risen, and the sky was bright. Qingshi finally figured out the secret of this cannon.

This cannon also uses spirit stone spiritual power as a power source, but it is not a simple use of spirit stone spiritual power.

Behind the barrel of the array cannon, there is a device that ordinary energy cannons do not have, which is filled with a kind of black-purple crystal, that is, this crystal emits a diffuse evil aura, bluestone They don't know what this thing is, so they named it Black Evil Stone.

The evil qi emitted by this black evil stone can be mixed with the spiritual power of the spirit stone, that is, the spiritual energy drawn from the spirit stone, and the mixed gas will explode after compressing to a certain extent.

Using the high-temperature and high-pressure gas generated by the explosion to fire iron cannonballs, this is how the mysterious array cannon works.

Although the cannon had been blown up, Bluestone still figured it out. If there is a suitable material, bluestone can completely cast this kind of array cannon by itself.

Qingshi dismantled the device full of black stone and put it into storage, then straightened up with satisfaction and smiled, "It's done!" ”

"Okay!" Duan Wutian had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and when he saw Qingshi get up, he immediately said, "Now you can go digging spirit stones, right?" ”

"Money junkies!" Xiang An disdainfully squeezed out two words from the corners of his mouth.

"What's wrong with money fans?" Duan Wutian said, "If you have the ability, Lao Tzu dug it out, don't ask for it." ”

"Why wouldn't I?" Xiang An said, "I mean, it's not time to dig spirit stones yet. ”

"Haven't you all done your research?" Duan Wutian said, "How long do you have to wait?" ”

"I haven't finished researching yet!" Xiang Andao.

"Just finish researching the bluestone!" Duan Wutian said, "Who cares about you?" Can you compare to bluestone at this level? ”

"That's it," Chen Tianye said, "It's going to be more than a hundred years after you finish your research, so will we all be waiting for you?" ”

"Alright!" Qingshi had to play a round again, "Old Xiang, it's no problem for you to continue your research, they won't affect you if they dig up the spirit source." Seventh brother and Amano, you go dig it, I have to get some other things. ”

"Howler!" Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian were so excited that they turned around and were about to go down to dig.

"Wait!" Xiang An was afraid that the two of them would dig up the spirit stone and not share their share, so he hurriedly stopped, "Okay, I won't fix this thing anymore, let's dig it together!" ”

"No, no," Chen Tianye teased, "don't work hard for you, just dig for the two of us." ”

"No, no!" Xiang An said, "How can you only be allowed to work?" I have always been kind, and the most unbearable thing is for others to contribute and enjoy the results themselves, digging together! ”

Qingshi smiled secretly in his heart and said: "Since Lao Xiang is also willing to contribute to mining, then ask Seventh Brother and Lao Xiang to dig together, and Tianye will accompany me on a trip." According to the rules, the spirit stones dug up have a share, you two don't swallow it privately! After speaking, he took Chen Tianye and turned around and left, leaving only Duan Wutian and Xiang An with wide eyes.

"What are you looking at?" Duan Wutian said, "Dig it! ”

"Dig, dig!" Xiang An said, "Although I am a little tired, the fun of digging treasures is not only to get treasures, but also to enjoy the process!" ”

"That's right!" Duan Wutian's eyes lit up, "You kid is quite knowledgeable in this area, which is very much in line with my wishes!" Walk! Let's dig it up......"

Qingshi took Chen Tianye and searched for the location marked in the control room, and soon came to a cannon array, and sure enough, the array and cannon of this array cannon point were also submerged between the roots and vines, and they were also almost completely corroded.

Bluestone looked through the vegetation, but didn't find anything worth collecting, so he had to move on to the next point.

Each of the four sides of this area is a thousand zhang, and the array cannons are distributed within a distance of one hundred to three hundred zhang on the four sides near the river, Qingshi and Chen Tianye walked around in a clockwise direction, and found each array of artillery points, as Qingshi expected, a total of three array artillery points of the array cannons have been completely preserved, if it weren't for the fact that Qingshi had just broken their spiritual source, I was afraid that they would also fire a cannon at the two of them.

Qingshi stayed for more than two hours at the first complete array cannon point, and finally dismantled the array cannon completely and put it into the storage container, as for the array disk, it was only dismantled some more precious key parts. The two array guns found in the back were naturally dealt with in the same way.

After learning the formation technique of this magic array and getting three powerful array cannons, Qingshi has undoubtedly gained a lot. He gave the cannon a name, the Spirit Cannon.

The array techniques contained in this array plate are quite clever, and they have a good reference and enlightenment effect for bluestone, and the spirit cannon is even more useful. You must know that this is a brand new cannon, although the power is smaller than the energy cannon, but in terms of the rate of fire, it is much stronger than the energy cannon.

Unfortunately, these three cannons have been eroded by wind and rain for too long, and it is estimated that they will be finished after a few shots, so Qingshi did not install them on the battleship.

When they returned to the big array, it was already close to noon, and they saw that Xiang An and Duan Wutian had already dug down the thick spirit stone vein pillar more than twenty zhang deep, revealing a dragon-like crystal pillar, which was really breathtaking.

Chen Tianye was so excited that he immediately jumped down and took out a big hoe and dug it up.

Bluestone doesn't mine, but it dismantles some of the valuable equipment and building materials in the control room and puts them into storage, including those rare golden wires, several large boxes of black cannonballs, and several large metal boxes full of black stones.

Chen Tianye and the three of them dug for nearly an hour, and the exposed spirit stone crystal pillar was already thirty zhang long, and at this time, the rock that wrapped the crystal pillar was so hard that even Duan Wutian's sun gun couldn't penetrate it, and the temperature was very high and very hot.

Then, water began to seep in from the surrounding dirt and rocks, and as soon as the water seeped into the hole, it was evaporated by the extremely hot rocks, making the cave a hot vapor, and the three of them screamed.

Qingshi smiled: "Let's stop here, if you dig it any more, everyone will be scalded." ”

The three of them couldn't continue to hold on, so they all jumped up drenched and panting. Qingshi let them rest, and began to collect the spirit stone himself, he condensed his true qi, and used his fist to break the crystal pillar into a large cylinder of one zhang long, and then moved it to the metal array plate on the ground one by one and put it away.

Duan Chenxiang and the three of them were reluctant to stand still, and they all began to learn the bluestone method to carry the crystal pillars, and after a while, a full thirty-five thick crystal pillars with a length of one zhang and a diameter of five feet were neatly arranged on the array plate.

The temperature of these crystal pillars was very high, and they cooled down quickly after they were broken, and dense cracks began to appear on the cooled crystal pillars, and as the cracks became more and more, Duan Wutian exclaimed, "What's wrong?" Did something go wrong? ”

"Seventh brother, don't worry!" Qingshi smiled and walked to a crystal pillar and stretched out his palm to slap it, as the internal strength penetrated into the crystal pillar and shook slightly, the entire crystal pillar suddenly scattered into a large number of thumb-sized hexagonal crystals, this is the spirit stone, the top grade.

With so many high-grade spirit stones, it is impossible to calculate the exact number, and the bluestone has roughly estimated that each section of the crystal pillar contains about 1.5 million spirit stones, and there are more than 50 million of these thirty-five crystal pillars in total.

The next thing is to divide the spoils, Duan Wutian grabbed his bald head and said: "Thirty-five piles of spirit stones, how can four people divide them?" ”

"Yes, one person and eight piles are three more piles," Chen Tianye stroked his mustache and said, "One person and nine piles are one less pile." ”

"That's easy!" Xiang An said, "Wouldn't it be better to divide each person into eight piles first, and then mix the remaining three piles together, and then divide them into four piles!" ”

"Great idea!"

"Not bad, not bad!"

Duan Chen and the two agreed in unison.

Qingshi said, "It's not good! Divided into five portions, each serving is exactly seven piles! ”

Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye glanced at each other, not knowing what Qingshi meant, but Xiang An thought of something, and his heart was secretly broken.

Hearing only a soft bang, Fat appeared in the light smoke with a mace on his shoulder.

"It's better to be the boss!" Xiaopang's face was full of unhappiness, and he said with a wicked smile, "You three guys have to divide the fat man's share, you are quite fat!" It seems that if I don't give you some color today, you really don't take the fat man and me in your eyes......"

"Fat brother, I was wrong!" Xiang An's mind turned the fastest, "I don't ...... Ahh......h

Before Xiang An finished speaking, he was swept out by Xiaopang with a stick, although he was the first to admit his mistake, but Xiaopang was the first to hit him.

Next, Xiao Pang carried a mace and beat Duan Chen Xiang and the three of them while admitting their mistakes while holding their heads and running away, but fortunately, Xiao Pang did not turn into a giant beast and use his divine power.

However, he soon got tired, so he threw a big stick and sat down, and took out a roast chicken and gnawed and gnawed.

Duan Chenxiang and the three of them saw the opportunity, and hurriedly presented roast sheep and fat cattle with a smile on their faces, and after coaxing for a long time, they finally let Xiaopang lose his anger.

When Xiaopang put away his share of the spirit stone and the roast sheep and fat cow and went back to the egg house, the three of them finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Whew......" Duan Wutian touched the black bag on his head to catch his breath, and muttered, "What's the use of Xiao Fat asking for these spirit stones?" Really, he didn't participate in the last Dragon Ball split! ”

"That's different," Qingshi said with a smile, "Last time in the Hidden Dragon Spring, Xiaopang didn't contribute, and he also robbed the fat sheep I gave to Haijiao, so he was embarrassed to share the dragon balls, but this time he contributed his pet." ”

"Just those little fish?" Chen Tianye was dissatisfied, "We exchanged roast fat sheep for him!" ”

"Even if it's replaced, it's the credit of the fat brother!" Xiang An said, "That's someone's pet!" What a noble sentiment must be to make such a painful contribution to love? What's more, the frog in the end was given for free, and by the way, the turtle was also ......"

The more Xiang An spoke, the more excited he became, with a painful look of repentance, "Others have made such a great selfless dedication, but we don't know how to be grateful when we see profit, we are really ungrateful, human nature is annihilated, and pigs and dogs are not as good as ......."

Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye stared at Xiang An in surprise and inexplicably, but Qingshi laughed wildly in his stomach.

Sure enough, I only heard Xiaopang's voice sound: "Xiang An, this kid really knows his mistake, it's very good!" Big bald head and mustache, you two look like you two need to fight again......"

"Fat brother! Fat man! Duan Chen and the two called together, "We know it's wrong!" I really know it's wrong! ......”
