Chapter Eighty-Five: Hidden Treasures

So Lin Fengjin took the lead in climbing over the cave and walking back and forth, and the sky wolf naturally followed. However, after Lin Fengjin walked halfway, his steps became slower and slower, and his brows were slightly wrinkled, and finally stopped and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, among the social creatures, the hierarchy is actually quite strict, which is reflected in two aspects, on the one hand, the highest status of the creature has the priority of mating and can reproduce its own offspring, and on the other hand, the highest status creature in the group has the priority of eating"

Hearing Lin Fengjin say this, Sky Wolf's eyes suddenly lit up and said:

"Master, you're right, so what do you mean?"

Lin Fengjin said refreshedly:

"If I'm not mistaken, in this mutant mosquito group, the leader of the poisonous mosquito we saw before should also have the priority to eat, so once the prey is obtained, it will most likely give priority to the prey, and only after it eats first, the rest of the poisonous mosquitoes have the right to eat, that is to say, in order to show their identity, most of the poisonous mosquito leaders have their own eating platform, where they may find some additional relics. ”

Lin Fengjin said as he spoke, and quickly fell back, and returned to the cave, since he came with a heart, he soon found a flat rock near the top of the cave, similar to an attic, and there were black and red stains on it.

Obviously, after the prey is brought back, it will be put on this high rock for the first time to supply the leader of the poisonous mosquitoes to suck blood and eat, and then it is the turn to get the rest of the ordinary poisonous mosquitoes, Lin Fengjin jumped up lightly and skillfully, and found that this place is still quite spacious, but the height is limited, and people can only squat on it.

And the rocks on this high ground are quite dry. I don't know how much better than the environment below, and there are a lot of tattered clothes and other things on it, Lin Fengjin searched carefully, and first found a jade bottle, this jade bottle seems to be made of crystal, the tentacles are cold, the whole body is flawless, very cute, Lin Fengjin opened it to take a look, but he didn't expect that there was a burst of flames inside. Directly burned on the opposite stone wall, this stone wall was actually dissolved into a bucket-deep cave in an instant, and the red magma flowed out, blazing hot!

Such an accident is not trivial, Lin Fengjin was also a little caught off guard, his clothes were on fire, he looked quite wolf, he jumped down from the bush, and he was stunned for a while before he smiled bitterly:

"What is this?"

The stone servant who controls the sky wolf is also well-informed. He looked at the jade bottle for a while, and then said after a while:

"But I recognize this jade bottle, in the far north where we once been, the snow does not melt all year round. There are even thousands of years of cold ice turned into mountain ice peaks, and when the ice peaks collapsed, the ice inside them not only condensed for thousands of years, but also weighed heavily in the mountains. It is already stronger than steel, and the fire cannot be burned. In ancient times, there was a great power to use this thing to refine the Dan bottle, taking its extreme yin nature. But it is to use this pill bottle to hold the pill of temperament and yang, but it is the meaning of yin and yang. ”

"I think it's because the time is too long, and the masculine medicine that is contained in this ice jade bottle is also like a spirit, becoming more and more refined, and in the end, it should be completely shed off the impurities, and completely transformed into the essence of fire, so that such a strange scene will appear. ”

Lin Feng listened to what the Heavenly Wolf said, and he couldn't help but sigh and said:

"It's a pity, I'm really acting rashly, otherwise, if this fire essence can be preserved, taking it out will really make people break their heads!"

After the magma on it gradually cooled down, Lin Fengjin jumped up again, but found that most of the relics on it were ignited by the magma and turned into ashes, which was really frustrating, but just when Lin Fengjin was about to leave, he felt a slight slump under his feet, and there was no way to stand upright on it, Lin Fengjin instinctively moved his left foot to take a look, but found that he accidentally stepped on half of the miserable white finger bone, but this finger bone was covered with a black ring.

This ring showed the hideous shape of the skull, and the skull's expression was instead open its mouth and laughing wildly, revealing two canine teeth, which looked the same as the blood clan.

And the material of this ring is not gold or jade, not stone or iron, and I don't know what it is made of, Lin Fengjin picked it up and touched the skin, and his heart was awe-inspiring, because this ring was as cold as ice, and when it touched people's skin, it seemed that it would continuously absorb the heat of the human body little by little!

Thinking that this ring seemed to have been worn on the finger of a certain victim all along, and it was not freed until he died, Lin Fengjin really admired the endurance of the original wearer in his heart, because such coldness was a very strong torture for anyone.

Lin Feng asked himself if he was a person with excellent concentration, but he couldn't withstand the continuous erosion of the cold qi coming from this ring, he didn't know anything about this thing, and he didn't get anything when he showed it to the water and stones around him.

This is actually very normal, after all, the world is so big, it can be said that there are no surprises, no matter how much and wide a person's knowledge is, it is also a drop in the ocean, and it cannot be included at all. Fortunately, Ao Xi beside Lin Fengjin is also a learned person, and the giant wood Xiao Houye has also lived for hundreds of years, if it really can't be done, you can take it and ask them.

After getting this thing right, Lin Fengjin left this nest of mutant poisonous mosquitoes, although he still felt quite regretful in his heart-because the value of that damn fire essence itself is needless to say, the magma after melting the rock can destroy a lot of things, and there are probably a lot of superb treasures in it!

However, Lin Fengjin can finally comfort himself, the Mirror of the Black Emperor also looks like a very good thing, and Shui E is equivalent to carrying a powerful water system divine power refiner with him. It's already a surprise worth the ticket price, not to mention the mysterious skull ring?

The next way out on this road will directly turn the moat into a thoroughfare, Lin Fengjin held the demon relics in his hand, and walked out all the way, it was simply a group of evil and easy to dispel, what mutated creatures were all fart and urine, and the cave was as clean as if it had become a ghost.

And it can be expected that after Lin Fengjin takes away this demon relic. The corpse of the Ancient Heavenly Demon inside will inevitably accelerate its decay, which means that the radiation concentration in it will begin to rise rapidly, and more energy and toxins in the Heavenly Demon's body will be released, forming various crystal minerals, and the various mutated creatures in it will also face more intense radiation and more intense changes.

When Lin Fengjin walked near the entrance of the cave, he encountered Ao Xi, who was a little wolf, and there were a lot of burns on his body. Ao Xi also gritted his teeth, took a Neptune Pill, and used the vitality inside to fight against the strong radiation to meet him, but he didn't expect to encounter danger just after walking in a few hundred meters.

It turns out that although the number of mutant poisonous mosquitoes is not large, its combat power is quite strong among mutant creatures, and after the destruction of the dew disk, it means that its breeding ground has completely collapsed. The frenzied poisonous mosquitoes will fly everywhere, looking for a person to vent. It's like a hornet that has been cut out of its nest, and it wants to die with what it sees together!

These poisonous mosquitoes go crazy, and the rest of the mutant biological groups will suffer, can't they afford to provoke these deadly mutant poisonous mosquitoes? Therefore, it is natural to scatter and flee, giving up their usual territory. As a result, Ao Xi crashed headlong into them, so he encountered a large number of mutated turtle insects and mutant locusts. The Siege of the Mutant Worms.

Fortunately, Lin Fengjin rushed out in time, and the demon relics carried on his body naturally scared these mutated creatures away, and it was also thanks to Ao Xi's own strength that was quite extraordinary. Otherwise, it would have capsized in the gutter.

After going out of the cave, Lin Fengjin told everything that happened after he went in, and he was really amazed when he heard it, and when he finished listening, Ao Xi couldn't believe that the incarnation of the ancient heavenly demon had successfully mixed into the human race, and couldn't help but guess the identity of this ancient heavenly demon in the human world several times in succession.

In the end, Lin Fengjin also took out the strange black skull ring, Ao Xi looked at it for a long time, but he wanted to speak and stopped, and only said after a while:

"This thing seems to be a legendary thing, but I don't dare to make any judgments because I am shallow, and I must go back and ask my father. Before that, Childe, you don't have to wear it, put it in the Sumeru mustard seed ring, and naturally you can get rid of the curse on it, and everything will be worry-free. ”

Lin Fengjin listened to Ao Xi's words very solemnly, but he didn't dare to be careless, and nodded in agreement. However, this skull ring is originally very evil, and it seems to be born to absorb the temperature of the human body. So even if Ao Xi didn't say it, Lin Fengjin would not act rashly.

After Ao Xi finished speaking, he hurriedly resigned to Lin Fengjin, and it seemed that he didn't even bother to deal with the injuries on his body, so Lin Fengjin couldn't help but be a little stunned.

This time, Ao Xi came here for two main purposes, one was to give gifts to the Black Mountain Monarch, and the other was that his own cultivation had entered a bottleneck, and he wanted to use the poisonous power of this ancient poisonous vein to temper his body.

Among them, Ao Xi's primary purpose has been achieved, to send a handful of charcoal to the black mountain gentleman, so that he can accept a lot of affection. The second purpose didn't seem to have been achieved, but in fact, after Ao Xi helped Houye block a thunderstorm, he successfully absorbed the energy in it, and his own strength was at least improved by one percent.

What does this mean, at least it also shows that the bottleneck encountered by Ao Xi has disappeared, which means that in fact, another problem that plagues Ao Xi is also solved.

Although everything here has been done very satisfactorily, Ao Xi suddenly looked a little homesick after listening to Lin Fengjin's news, how could he not make Lin Fengjin a little surprised, but Lin Fengjin's mind is also very smart, after a little thought, he also understood the reason-

That's for the good of the family.

This ancient poisonous vein originally seemed a little chicken, firstly, because the existence of the huge toad mirage was easy to threaten safety, and if this guy really couldn't do it, he would shrink into the depths of the cave, which would really make people cry out in vain, and secondly, because they still thought that the ancient poisonous veins were natural, how could they know that it was caused by the ancient heavenly demons being banned here?

However, at this time, the toad mirage had already died, and at this time, after Lin Fengjin took away the demon relics among the Heavenly Demons, the radiation concentration in the ancient poison veins would steadily and continuously rise for several months, and finally reach a peak. This thing is completely harmful to humans, but for youkai, it is a shortcut full of dangers and huge benefits.

The radiation in this ancient poison vein is well used, and it can even be one of the ways to quickly improve the strength of the monster. The most intuitive example of this is that toad mirage, with decades of cultivation, Lin Fengjin and Ao Xi are both wolves.

Therefore, needless to say, Ao Xi is so anxious to go back, it must be to explain to the family that he is powerful, and mobilize forces to occupy this feng shui treasure here. If this kind of place is let go gently, then it will inevitably be given by heaven and will suffer from it", Ao Xi himself can't forgive himself. As for Montenegro-kun's feelings and friendships, in front of the interests of the family, what is it?

Lin Fengjin suddenly thought of his cooperation with the Ao family at this time, presumably while secretly glad that the demon snake of the Ao family worked for himself and only wanted to be fed, it was not possible that the Ao family was also secretly laughing at himself for being a fool.

In the eyes of the monsters, silver is completely useless, can silver be used to resist lightning tribulations? can silver make their minions sharper? strength is the most important thing!

On the one hand, he provides the children of the Ao family with the opportunity to travel south and north, and at the same time, he has to eliminate the attacks from humans and the imperial court for them, and on the other hand, he has to let the children of the Ao family eat well. The body is strong and strong. For the Ao family, it is estimated that they have chosen a big bargain.

And at this time, take this ancient poisonous vein as an example, if it is not Lin Fengjin who is found with Ao Xi, but another monster. No matter how good the relationship between this monster and Ao Xi is. In the face of the huge interests of the entire family, a qiē is nothing, and it will definitely turn its face immediately, and no matter how good the friendship is, it will be in front of the future of future generations. They all look so pale.

And at this time, it was Lin Fengjin, after the exploration of this ancient poisonous vein was completed, it would be useless to him at all. Ahem, not to mention Lin Fengjin's family. Lin Fengjin thought that his old man and his aunt had not lived long enough, so he would take them to this ancient poisonous vein to irradiate.

Therefore, the Ao family decided not to worry that Lin Fengjin would come to fight with him here, the huge difference in values and cultural views between the two sides has not only become an obstacle to each other, but only requires the same while reserving differences, but has become the most important foundation for successful cooperation.

And more importantly, it seems that the Ao family realized this very early, the reason why Ao Xi was willing to save Lin Fengjin and block the knife for him this time, although there is friendship in it, but to be honest, Lin Fengjin's death is bound to cause a heavy blow to the good situation of the Ao family at this time, and interests are the main reason why Ao Xi is so respectful to himself.

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Fengjin suddenly realized that he seemed to have entered a misunderstanding before, it seems that now the situation between the two sides has begun to reverse, and the Ao family seems to be more dependent on himself, but he is not relying much on the Ao family with the blossoming of various industries, since this is the case, then the Ao family seems to have to pay more conditions for this

At least the Ao family will have to invest more in their own forces in the future, such as sending out monster mounts, or refining pills, of course, more importantly, at this time, the Ao family and the Lin family are still only cooperating on the surface, and the most obvious example is that the Lin family cooperates with those python five, python six, and so on for the third and fourth generations.

As long as the surname "Ao" is not given, it is either considered a vassal or a child in the Ao family, so the next step must be to let the big monster with the surname Ao completely enter the deep level of cooperation, and the relationship with the Lin family must be further closer, reaching the point of glory and loss!

Three days later, Lin Fengjin had already left Xunzhou and came to the junction of Zhongtang and Xirong.

Here is a very dangerous pass, the Pingliang Mountain system highlights the strange soldiers here, and divides a branch, this branch is called Qingtang Mountain, at this time it is the natural dividing line between the Tang Dynasty and Xirong.

Qingtang Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, the north is the Bechi grassland of Xirong, the south is the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, the width is about 100 miles, it is extremely steep, and it is said that birds and beasts are difficult to cross. However, there is a surging river Tuojiang River from the northwest, to the southeast, in the Qingtang Mountains carved out a canyon, its steep and turbulent place, almost comparable to the Jinsha River Grand Canyon.

During the reign of David, the government felt the difficulties of people's livelihood, so they built an official road along the course of this surging river in the Qingtang Mountains. With the prosperity of David back then, it also took 30 years.

Before this official road was opened, the goods transported from Yaozhou in the Central Tang Dynasty to Xiongzhou in Xirong had to detour for nearly 1,700 miles, more than half a month, but now it only takes 120 miles, two days and one night.

After David's analysis collapsed, Xirong took the lead in building a pass on the mouth of Qingtang Mountain near Zhongtang, called Mengtuka. After the Xirong level is established, it can be as uncomfortable as choking Zhongtang's throat!

Xirong's herdsmen can come out of this Mengtuka almost all year round, wantonly looting and harassing on the plains in the heart of the Tang Dynasty, once the Tang Dynasty sends troops, then it will simply retreat in.

What's more, although Xirong is mostly nomadic in the territory, the high-level and nobles of Xirong have been ruled by the David Dynasty for hundreds of years, and they are also not laymen for defending and attacking cities.

Until the chaos in Xirong that year, even the big-headed man Duogu died in this turmoil, and Tan Fengsha, who had been dealt with by Lin Fengjin before, also had a great change in his fate in this turmoil.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhongtang began to storm Mengtuka, but it still returned several times, which shows the steepness of its pass.

Guarding this level is one of the world's four famous generals, the scimitar general Wu Gutu, this person's life achievements and fame are almost all based on the bones of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and even his position as one of the world's four famous generals is also derived from this.

Because of this, no one thought that the Zhongtang Dynasty had skillfully used the anti-intermediary strategy and successfully recruited the black bone protrusion! The Mengtu card was included in the bag and renamed the Dragon Descending Pass, and the process of this surrender was a huge mystery at this time.

After having the Dragon Pass, the Tang Dynasty finally got a chance to breathe, but because the Xirong people still have the habit of grazing, it belongs to a country that is half cultivated and half grazing, so even if the Dragon Pass changes hands, the threat to them is not great, after all, the famous soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are famous for attacking fortifications and bloody battles, and definitely not long-distance running, maneuvering, and harassment.

Lin Fengjin stood in front of the Dragon Descending Pass at this time, looking up at this majestic pass.

Because this pass was originally established by the Xirong people, even if it later fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty and was repaired repeatedly, the large rock wall of the main body of the city wall, the architectural style of opening and closing, still revealed the barbaric, ferocious, and rough style, and since the establishment of this pass, at least more than 100,000 people have died here. Therefore, there is naturally a sense of sadness and desolation.

However, although there has been discord between China and Tang Dynasty and Xirong, and there have been frictions from time to time, the strategic place of Jinlong Pass has been peaceful for 20 years.

Why is this happening?

That is because the people of Xirong are quite aware of the danger of this Dragon Pass, and there is no need to let their people and soldiers waste their blood here in vain, not to mention that it is the scimitar general who guards this place.

Therefore, the friction and fighting between the Tang Dynasty and Xirong often took place in the Shaanzhou area in the northeast -- although the terrain here is considered a plain, it is a series of ditches and ditches. For the Xirong people, the terrain of the plains is conducive to cavalry warfare, which is acceptable, but for the people of the Middle Tang Dynasty, the ditches and Qianmo that can be seen everywhere are the natural terrain to restrain the cavalry, and it is not a loss to fight here.

Under the condition that both sides can accept, Shaanzhou has always been in a scuffle, in exchange for 20 years of peace here in Jinlongguan. (To be continued......)
