Judging that there was still the arrangement of the silver-robed people at the edge of the valley, Jiang Xingchen and Tang Chuxue hurriedly ran back, for fear that the pink ones would be controlled by the mercury ball.

But the more they feared something, the more they hurried back to the edge of the valley, they saw only ten private soldiers, and there was no trace of the three of them.

Jiang Xingchen chuckled in his heart, and asked the private soldier loudly: "What about the pink ones?"

"Not long ago, a large amount of vitality poured in from outside the valley, quickly filling the vitality vacuum, and the pink ones flew out, and they couldn't be called no matter how they screamed!" The private soldier bowed and replied.

"These bastards, why are they so worry-free!" Jiang Xingchen was so angry, but he was even more worried, who knows what Pink had encountered. The vitality vacuum disappeared, indicating that their previous judgment was correct, there must be an arrangement at the edge of the valley, and the most likely thing is a mercury ball, only this thing can absorb the vitality so quickly, in case the pink they are controlled Jiang Xingchen didn't dare to think about it.

"Brother, why don't we split up and look for it, the pink ones haven't been gone for long!" Zhao Danqing, who came up, said.

"No way!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head and vetoed. The depths of the vast mountains are vast and boundless, and at the speed of pink them, where to find them. Not to mention, even if they are found, what if they are controlled, except for Tang Chuxue, who is the opponent of the three of them, whoever finds it may not be able to come back.

"What should I do, I can't" Zhao Danqing was just halfway through his words when a burst of chirping suddenly came from overhead.

"Pink!" This voice was so familiar, Jiang Xingchen and Tang Chuxue showed surprise on their faces, hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, they saw Pink flying back.

Immediately, there were also clucking and clucking sounds in the dense forest not far away, and the demon fox and Dabai also ran out.

Tang Chuxue and Zhao Danqing were also worried that they were controlled by the mercury ball, but they soon found out that it was a false alarm, and the eyes of the three demon beasts were all normal colors, and there was no sign of being controlled.

As soon as Jiang Xingchen came back, Pink pounced happily, chirping and squirting saliva.

The magical little umbrella appeared in Jiang Xingchen's hand again, blocking the saliva like a torrential rain. It wasn't until the pink stopped that Jiang Xingchen put down his umbrella with a gloomy expression.

Originally, he wanted to clean up Pink, Demon Fox and Da Bai and punish them for running around. But when he saw Pink's description, he fell silent. According to Pink's statement, when the vitality was replenished, it noticed that a person in a silver-white suit suddenly appeared and sprinted out. It felt very suspicious, so it beckoned the demon fox and Dabai to chase after it. But they didn't catch up and let people run away, the man was so weird, he disappeared for a while and appeared for a while, and finally disappeared more than ten miles away, never to be seen again.

For a long time, Jiang Xingchen's gloomy expression slowly eased, patted the pink, and said, "If you haven't caught up, you haven't caught up, it's good that nothing happened!"

He estimated that the silver-robed man who ran away must have known that the two mercury balls in the valley had been swallowed, so he ran away! The reason why he didn't attack the pink ones was because he was afraid that he and others would catch up, so he didn't dare to delay.

And he has not been found before, it is estimated that it is because of the space, he was able to escape Pink's pursuit, and eighty percent relied on this means.

"Hey!" Jiang Xingchen sighed, and also felt a little pity. If you catch this silver-robed man, who is also a thousand years ago, you may be able to ask a lot of secrets.

After this thought flashed, Jiang Xingchen felt that it was better that he hadn't met the silver-robed man. What if a ball of mercury flies into his mind again, and now he can't let the ball of mercury in his head continue to swallow it no matter what. Also, it's a good thing that pink ones aren't under control

After a false alarm, Jiang Xingchen sent someone to inform the private soldiers in the valley to return. After more than half an hour, nearly 100 private soldiers arrived with a pile of clothes and joined them.

The clothes are all ripped off the black-clothed man, and they can prevent the repeater, which shows how high the defense of these clothes is, of course, they can't be thrown away.

In addition, Jiang Xingchen asked the private soldiers to search out the rainstorm needles used by the other party. After researching, he found that this kind of thing was indeed very similar to the grenade he had designed. The principle is also to use the Yuan Stone blasting. It's just that the outer metal of this thing is very thin, and it is easier for the hidden cow hair needles to shoot out.

In terms of stability, the rainstorm needle is inferior to the grenade. But in terms of its fineness, it is not inferior to grenades. This shows that the other party has a very high level of manufacturing.

"What kind of force is this? Why haven't I heard of it for thousands of years?" This question bothered Jiang Xingchen a little, after this battle, if such a force secretly targeted Xingchen Ling, it would be very troublesome. If nothing else, these rainstorm needles are enough to deal with. And no one knows if the other side has a more powerful weapon. And the trickiest thing is that the mercury ball can control living creatures

Leaving the valley, they did not continue to go deeper, but immediately returned, and Jiang Xingchen sent a letter back to Xingchenling. told Mei'er about this 1510, and he had to take precautions and prepare in advance.

The return was swift, and it took only seven days for them to re-enter the steppe. After meeting with Luo Yu, Jiang Xingchen roughly talked about what happened, but there were many hidden things in it that he didn't mention.

Luo Yu is also a smart person, and when he listens to his friends, he knows that there are secrets that cannot be said, so he didn't ask in detail.

Then Jiang Xingchen rejected Luo Yu's arrangement, and began to wander around the grassland, continuing to look for manganese ore, his two big steel factories were still waiting for rice to be cooked, and Nanjiang Ling's poor mine could not be supplied at all

Kung Fu was not convinced, and half a month later, Jiang Xingchen finally made a discovery near the desert. A large amount of manganese-containing ore was found at a depth of thirty meters underground, and according to his analysis using the Material Exploration Array, this was a rich ore, more than ten times larger than the one in Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect.

Jiang Xingchen was extremely happy, the discovery of this manganese ore can be said to have solved the big problem of Xingchen Territory, otherwise the progress of the railway would be greatly delayed.

The next thing is to negotiate with the grassland, although he has a good relationship with Luo Yu, he can't take such a large manganese mine as his own.

After two days of negotiations, Jiang Xingchen and Luo Yu reached an agreement. The manganese ore is developed by the Star Leader, and the grassland does not charge any fees, but the Star Leader needs to build ten railways and corresponding communication lines for the grassland in the next ten years. The labor force for mining must use steppe orcs, and the star leader is responsible for all the expenses

The details of the terms do not need to be repeated, and after the agreement between the two parties was reached, it was already mid-July. Jiang Xingchen estimated the time and asked Zhao Danqing and the private soldiers to return to the Xingchen Territory first. He and Tang Chuxue flew to the south with the demon beasts.
