Chapter 266: Exploring the Underground Fire Vein
Bruce glanced at the horse that was grazing with its tail flicking not far away, hesitated, and in order to avoid another traffic accident, he simply stopped leaving, and sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrating on feeling the fire element.
Ouyang Feng was not in a hurry, he let his horse also go to graze, he found a place not far from Bruce, took out an animal skin blanket from the storage ring and spread it on the ground, took some reserve barbecue, pickled vegetables and other food, and took a good pot of red wine out, and enjoyed looking at the vast wilderness and blue sky, feeling the breath of nature and starting a picnic.
Ouyang Feng was very comfortable, and chewed the beef tendon, but after chewing for a long time, he didn't chew the mush, and vomited, Ouyang Feng felt a little wasteful, and there was a bit of a big spoilt of scenery, and in the end, Ouyang Feng was still ruthless, raised his neck, and swallowed the whole thing. But the beef tendon was too big, Ouyang Feng was choked sadly, kept burping, and poured several large mouthfuls of red wine, only then would he swallow the beef tendon he chewed messily.
Time passed little by little, and unconsciously, Ouyang Feng had already drunk a pot of red wine, and even drank most of the second pot, just when Ouyang Feng wondered if the motionless Bruce was asleep, Bruce opened his eyes, stood up, and did not greet Ouyang Feng, his expression was blank, as if he had lost consciousness, and walked slowly towards the northeast.
Ouyang Feng was stunned when he saw this, and muttered softly: "Damn, this thing can't be evil, right?"
Ouyang Feng didn't know what was going on with Bruce, and he didn't dare to be alarmed, so he had to simply clean it up, holding the wine jug and following the chattering Bruce. On one side, there was a mouthful of wine poured into his mouth.
Ouyang Feng didn't expect it. Bruce wandered around almost sleepwalking. But he walked around for most of the day, and it wasn't until the sun was about to set that Bruce woke up from that somewhat frightening state.
At the moment when Bruce regained his senses, Bruce sat on the ground, gasped for a few breaths, and said depressedly, "Damn, I almost didn't tire me out." β
Ouyang Feng saw that Bruce had finally come to life, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "What happened to you just now?
Bruce snatched the flask from Ouyang Feng's hand. He raised his head and took a sip, wiped away the blood and red wine that flowed from his mouth, and said angrily, "What and what? I have been looking for the underground fire veins just now." β
Ouyang Feng was stunned and said, "No, right? How can I see you as if you are stupid? Yes, yes, it's similar to the empty eyes of an idiot, very similar." β
Bruce glared at Ouyang Feng and gritted his teeth for a while, and it wasn't until Ouyang Feng raised his hand in surrender and admitted his mistake that Bruce explained: "The method on the book is to keep it almost empty all the time, and concentrate on feeling the concentration and activity of the fire element in the air. β
Ouyang Feng threw Bruce a piece of barbecue, shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Then did you find it?"
Bruce took a bite of the barbecue, looked at Ouyang Feng in surprise and said, "You don't know? Several places were also found. β
Ouyang Feng said suspiciously: "Should I know? You didn't prompt me, I just saw you walking around so stupidly." β
Bruce rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't I leave a hint?
Ouyang Feng asked inexplicably: "Prompt, what prompt, why don't I know?"
Bruce slapped his forehead. Annoyed, he said, "When I discovered the underground fire vein, I spat and frothed to remind you to come, alas, if you don't write it down, I'll have done it all afternoon." β
Ouyang Feng was stunned, and only after a while did he say viciously: "You don't tell me in advance, who knows what you are spitting for?" I thought you had dreamed of something. β
Bruce didn't entangle with Ouyang Feng on this issue, and asked expectantly, "Then did you write it down?"
Ouyang Feng said proudly, "Of course, you think I'm an idiot?" Bruce let out a sigh of relief. Ouyang Feng noticed that something was wrong when Bruce was spitting, although he didn't know what Bruce was doing, he still remembered the place he was at that time, and left a mark.
Bruce took a few bites of barbecue, poured a few more sips of red wine, recovered for a moment, then stood up, patted his butt and said, "Let's go, let's go back and see, I still remember where the fire element is the strongest." Ouyang Feng shrugged indifferently and returned with Bruce the way he came.
Coming to the first marker, Bruce felt it for a moment and said, "The fire elemental here is quite good, and the underground fire element is also very active, according to the description in your miscellaneous book, this place is just enough to build an earth furnace, but it takes a little more effort." By the way, according to the classification in the miscellaneous records, the ground fire activity here should be the lowest level. β
Ouyang Feng nodded, and the miscellaneous notes described that the activity of the earth fire is divided into four levels, from low to high, it is said that the first, second, third, and fourth levels are respectively, although the activity of the first level can be used to build the earth fire furnace, but because the underground fire vein is not stable, the built earth fire furnace will also be affected, and the temperature will change. The activity level of the second level is much better, and there is absolutely no problem with using it to build a ground furnace, and the fire power and temperature are very stable. And the place with the activity of the third level is even better, the earth fire and temperature are not only stable, but the temperature is higher than the general place, but because of this, the quoted earth fire cannot be used directly, because it contains a large amount of fire poison, and it needs to be used to remove those fire poisons by using the magic circle before it can be used for alchemy or refining. As for the activity level of the fourth level, according to the description in the miscellaneous notes and Ouyang Feng's understanding, it should be the kind of volcano that is about to erupt, this kind of place, even if it is found, it cannot be used, and the farther away it is, the better.
Coming to the second marked place, that is, where Bruce spat on it, Bruce felt it again and said: "Well, this place can barely be regarded as a second-level activity, and then go back, the next place is the most active place I have found, it definitely has a second-level activity, and there is absolutely no problem in building a ground furnace." β
Next, Ouyang Feng and Bruce determined all the marked locations, a total of eight places, of which there were five first-level active, and three second-level active, and among these three places, the most active underground fire element was the penultimate marking point.
After the eight marking points were finished, Ouyang Feng looked at the simple map drawn in his hand, and recalled the environment around the eight places, and finally Ouyang Feng decided that if Yaheng Ken helped build the earth fire furnace, he would choose the fourth marking point, although the underground fire element there was not the most active place, but the environment around the surface there was very good, surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing water on one side, it was a very hidden, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was an excellent place for sneaking things around.
There is also the most important point, that is, the straight-line distance between the No. 4 marker point and Ula City is not more than fifty miles, and Ouyang Feng can also communicate with the red clothes, Qingfeng, and Mingyue Transmission Sound who are in Ula City, so that if the earth furnace, refining tools, and alchemy factory are built here, even if something happens, as long as Ouyang Feng and the four of them are in Ula City, the people who stay here can also get the information as soon as possible and prepare to deal with it in advance.
Ouyang Feng didn't expect that just one day out, there would be such a big harvest, Ouyang Feng didn't have any hope before, he estimated that it would take at least ten days and eight days, and it would be very good to be able to find a place with a first-level activity, because the miscellaneous book said very clearly, the underground fire vein is difficult to find, under normal circumstances, it is already very good to find a place within a radius of several hundred miles, unless it is a place where the earth fire is strong, but in that place, there must be a dangerous place such as a volcano nearby.
Ouyang Feng didn't care if it was dangerous or not, after the transmission told SΓΉ Hongshang and Bruce to go back later, the two of them surrounded the No. 4 marker point, and investigated again within a radius of more than ten or twenty miles, and did not find any dangerous volcano that was about to erupt, and then they were relieved.
When they came to the place where the horses were grazing, Ouyang Feng and Bruce were all stunned, because their horses were gone, leaving only a few pools of blood and some internal organs and minced meat on the ground.
Bruce wailed, "Damn, won't you?" your uncle, who ate our horse, come out for me. β
Ouyang Feng ignored Bruce's idiotic actions and said with a bitter face: "Don't shout, it won't be good if you summon the wolf." β
Bruce said with a complaining face: "I said that the fourth master, you are such a big person, why don't you have a long heart?
Ouyang Feng rolled his eyes and said, "What else can I do?" Go back, it's not very far anyway, I guess I can get home before dawn." β
Bruce wailed and said, "I've been tired all day, both legs are almost worn out, and you still let me walk back, you're too inhuman." β
Ouyang Feng pouted and said: "It's just a little bit of a road, do you say you're going to go, if you don't go, I'll leave alone, you just stay and wait to feed the wolf." After speaking, he strode in the direction of Ula City, Bruce looked at it, and could only sigh and follow, but this kid is not stupid, in order to save his body, he has been pulling Ouyang Feng's arm, and he used it as a humanoid crutch.
All the way over the mountains and mountains, trekking through mountains and rivers, Ouyang Feng and Bruce used the fastest speed, and finally arrived at the side of the road before dark, Ouyang Feng was not very good with his body, especially after choosing a magician, Bruce, whose body was getting weaker and weaker, found a stone to sit down and rest, but he was looking around for a while, like a vigilant groundhog.
Bruce looked at the sky and sighed, "It seems that today really can't go back, today is Elena's birthday, and the monkey has prepared a lot of delicious food." Ouyang Feng patted his forehead, and then remembered Elena's birthday. (To be continued......)
