Chapter 329: Into the Realm
Early in the morning, at the gate of the Eight Kings Camp, Xiao Tianhe's team was ready to go. In addition to a team of ten people, there are quite a few people who watch the excitement. Zhao Xianglin, the leader of the camp, changed his clothes and hairstyle, and he couldn't recognize him if he didn't look carefully in the middle of the team. She seemed very embarrassed, and kept urging Xiao Tianhe to set off quickly.
There are also Liao Qifeng and Sun Hailiang in the team, and Lu Xiaoyan will not go with Xiao Tianhe this time because he has another important "money-redeeming" task. During the time when Zhao Xianglin left the Eight Kings Camp, the affairs in the camp were handled by several captains first. Although he won the battle, because there were other people in the team, Xiao Tianhe planned to follow the normal process to find the source of the mine and excavate. Among the teammates, two were from the search team, and two were selected by Xiao Tianhe from the gold exploration team.
Out of the Eight Kings Camp, Xiao Tianhe led the team to the south. The mountains in this area are continuous, and there is almost no flat land. In the process of traveling along the ridgeline of many mountain peaks, Xiao Tianhe found many old mines and pits that had been abandoned for a long time, all of which were left over from previous mining.
The search team provided a mantra for prospecting:
"The small mine is on the top of the mountain,
Mine waist.
In the big mineral deposits,
The bottom of the water is rich and the sky is full. β
Generally speaking, money can be divided into four grades: rich, large, medium and small according to the scale, and the thinner the qi of heaven and earth, the more likely it is to find money. Money seems to have some special connection with the "mountain", and in the flat terrain, there is little news of the discovery of money. As for the "rich mine under the water", it is a rumor that has not yet been confirmed. The water in the mountains is nothing more than streams, springs, pools, rivers and lakes, but the bottom of streams and rivers are all stones and silt, and the bottom of pools and lakes is mostly contiguous mountain rocks, while springs do not even have a "bottom". There are also descendants who sum up:
"The water in the mountains is murmuring,
There is no trace of underwater mines.
If you want to find the rich,
The oddity is here. β
Serendipity, what an illusory word. From ancient times to the present, many large mines have been found near the waters in the mountains, but there are very few that can be called "rich mines".
In addition, listening to Zhao Xianglin's words, money mines are formed all the time, and they may dissipate all the time, and there have been cases in the past where the newly discovered large mines have not yet had time to be mined, but suddenly dissipated overnight. No one can say the invisible reason why the money beads accumulate and dissipate, so whether it is found or collected, it takes considerable luck. As a result, the larger the size of the mine, the more difficult it is to excavate, because it is likely to disappear before it is fully excavated. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the legendary fourth gear, Bonanza, is so rare.
After a few days of traveling south along the mountain range, the terrain gradually flattened. When you get out of this mountainous area, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to find money mines. So Xiao Tianhe decided to change direction and turn to the west. According to the mantra of mineral prospecting, you should first find the thin place where the qi of heaven and earth is thin, and then start to carefully prospect for ore. Based on Xiao Tianhe's experience in the Great Red Realm, the thinnest place where the qi of heaven and earth is most thin is generally at the bottom of the ravine. To be on the safe side, Xiao Tianhe asked the two people from the gold exploration team, and sure enough, the same was true of the Yu Yu Realm. Moreover, many places have already been explored, so after wasting a few days of work in vain, Xiao Tianhe's team still found nothing.
During one of the breaks, a suggestion was made: "Isn't there a bottomless ravine on the west side of the peak where the camp of the Eight Kings is located?
But this suggestion was immediately opposed by Zhao Xianglin. There are two reasons: one is that the ravine is so deep that you can't see the bottom when you stand on the edge of the cliff during the day, and how to enter the ravine is a difficult problem;
In this regard, Xiao Tianhe had other ideas: Bawangying's exploration and mining of money and mines in the surrounding mountains has not been a day or two, but no one has ever set foot in the depths of this ravine, maybe there are really big mines in it, because of "big mineral deposits".
"No, no, no, there is no way to go down to the abyss, and if there are some terrible demon beasts, poisonous insects, etc., living underneath, wouldn't it be in vain?" Zhao Xianglin was still reluctant to take risks.
Xiao Tianhe pulled Zhao Xianglin aside and persuaded in a low voice: "It shouldn't be dangerous to just go and see, if there is anything unusual during the journey, we will turn back immediately." If a big mine is really discovered, it will also save the effort of being verbose with Zheng Huaili at that time, after all, taking out a huge fortune out of thin air will arouse suspicion. β
"Then why do you have to compare this with him...... Isn't it over if you have more money than anyone else?" Zhao Xianglin muttered reluctantly and followed Xiao Tianhe back to the team.
As a result, the team turned north from west to north and turned back along another road. If the road from which you came is the "ridge line", then the road back to the time is the "valley line". Xiao Tianhe and the others are newcomers, and Zhao Xianglin, as the commander, rarely sets foot in such roadless shallow ravines and ravines, but fortunately, a member of the gold exploration team volunteered to lead the way. The valley is rugged and rugged, with undulating terrain and rocky thorns. The difficulty of walking caused Liao Qifeng to complain.
"The road is pretty good, and the closer you get to that abyss, the harder it becomes. The leader smiled.
"Road, look up and down, left and right, where is the road?" Liao Qifeng said, "Alas, it didn't have to be so hard!"
Sun Hailiang hurriedly pinched him on the waist and reprimanded in a low voice: "What nonsense is this! It's a big deal for Brother Xiao, see how I clean you up!"
Liao Qifeng consciously said the wrong thing and didn't squeak again.
Xiao Tianhe: "Okay, okay, don't complain, who made us buddies? Brothers have something to entrust, you can work hard!" He completely rounded up what Liao Qifeng had said. Liao Qifeng gave him a look and quietly gave him a thumbs up. In fact, even if Xiao Tianhe's plan was known by Zheng Huaili, it would not be a big deal, after all, millions of dollars could not be made up in a while
comes, Zheng Huaili will definitely lose. But if he also tried his best to make money, Xiao Tianhe would inevitably pay a lot more money in order to beat him.
At the beginning of the three days' journey from the camp of the Eight Kings, the terrain of the valley became steeper, and in some places there was a drop from the top and the bottom, and everyone had to hold on to the rocks to prevent them from falling and rolling downhill as they went. As the terrain dropped suddenly, the group went deeper and deeper, the cliffs on both sides of the valley were unclimbable, the slope behind them seemed to lead to the sky, and the blue sky above their heads was only a thin line. Soon after, even the line was out of sightβthe fog in the valley was getting thicker and thicker.
The climate in the deep valley is unique, much wetter and warmer than the outside world, so the valley is also full of all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. The two members of the search team were busy, and from time to time they left the team to collect rare objects. This dangerous move was repeatedly forbidden by the two members of the gold exploration team. According to the two of them, the valley seems to be quiet and peaceful, but in fact the environment is treacherous. Not only are poisonous insects and poisonous snakes inhabiting, but there are also many dark swamps, which are extremely difficult to find in the thick fog, and if you accidentally step into them, you will be wiped out. The safest thing to do is to line up and follow the person in front of you, and if there is any danger, you can take care of each other.
Everyone walked cautiously for a long time, but due to the large difference in terrain, there was not much distance in the horizontal direction. The light in the valley is getting darker and darker because of the dense fog.
"Be careful, everyone, we haven't even been here any further. The leader at the front of the line shouted. Since then, the two members of the search team have not dared to act rashly, and have honestly followed the team. After a few more hours, the valley was as dark as it had been at nightfall. The surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the ground most of the time, and the faint sound of blowing wind and dripping water sounded in my ears from time to time, but I couldn't tell the direction from which the sound came from.
"It's such a nasty place. Zhao Xianglin frowned.
At this time, one of them suddenly pointed to the side and exclaimed, "Look, what is that?"
Everyone followed the prestige, and in the thick fog, there seemed to be a big thing faintly, but the outline could not be seen clearly.
"Slow down, everyone be careful!" Xiao Tianhe said. For some reason, he felt a little uneasy.
After getting closer to that "thing", everyone finally gradually saw that it was a large hole several feet high in the rock wall.
"Huh, strange, how is this ground bare?" Xiao Tianhe noticed something unusual, unlike the ground that was covered with weeds and stones and wet everywhere along the way, the surface here was clean, just a dry loess. "Could it be that there is something strange in the cave?" Xiao Tianhe looked at the entrance of the cave with locked eyebrows. As he gazed with bated breath, a red light pierced through the fog and came into view. Immediately afterward, a blue light came through.
"It's a money mine!" the two members of the gold exploration team behind him shouted in surprise.
Xiao Tianhe turned his head and glanced at the two of them with a puzzled gaze.
Liao Qifeng rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the cave with a laugh: "Ha, it turns out that money and mines are so easy to find!"
"Wait a minute!" Xiao Tianhe hurriedly stretched out his arm to block him.
Liao Qifeng was puzzled: "What are you waiting for? After wasting so much time, let's dig it quickly! If the money mine suddenly disappears, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to draw water?"
At that moment, a strange whistling sound came from the cave, both dull and profound, like a whimpering and wailing, like a soft singing, echoing through the narrow valley, and it was very strange.
Xiao Tianhe looked back, and the other team members suddenly disappeared, leaving only Liao Qifeng, Sun Hailiang and Zhao Xianglin around.
"Oops!" Xiao Tianhe's heart sank, and he hurriedly shouted: "Escape!"
But the other three didn't come back to their senses at all, and Zhao Xianglin even asked, "Where to escape?"
In a hurry, Xiao Tianhe grabbed Zhao Xianglin and Liao Qifeng's sleeves and dragged them back, and then stepped back with his shoulders against Sun Hailiang, who was still inexplicable.
But at this time, there is no way out. Xiao Tianhe only felt as if a powerful force suddenly appeared behind him and grabbed him, and he couldn't move an inch at all, and the terrifying force was still increasing rapidly, and the wind with mist swept across his cheeks and ears, blowing so that everyone couldn't open their eyes. Xiao Tianhe had to lean forward and push the ground with his feet, but the pull behind him still dragged the four of them to the entrance of the cave, and the ground had been ploughed out of the ditches by the feet of several people, and the excavated soil disappeared in an instant.
With a "bang" sound, the sleeves of Liao Qifeng and Zhao Xianglin's grabbed clothes suddenly cracked, and in a panic, Xiao Tianhe only had time to grab Zhao Xianglin's arm, but Liao Qifeng took off his hand, was dragged back several steps by the pull, and waved his hands in the air. And Sun Hailiang, who had been facing the cave, saw that Liao Qifeng was about to be sucked into the cave, and subconsciously straightened his body that was originally leaning back, stretched out his hand and wanted to drag him, but he was pulled to the ground by the sudden intensification of suction, rolled to the entrance of the cave with a twist, and hit Xiao Tianhe. Xiao Tianhe's feet were unstable, and he was in a hurry, summoning the Split Hollow Knife and struggling to plunge into the soil, and the blade was submerged in most of the surface, so that he stabilized his body, Zhao Xianglin hurriedly followed suit, and Xiao Tianhe finally relaxed.
But looking back, Liao Qifeng and Sun Hailiang were gone.
"Brother Liao! Brother Sun!" Xiao Tianhe's heart twitched fiercely, and he wanted to open his mouth to shout, but he was filled by the strong wind, and he couldn't make a sound at all. The weird suction power is still increasing, and his and Zhao Xianglin's bodies are all dragged into the air by the suction, and the two magic knives inserted in the ground are constantly trembling, contributing the last bit of strength to hold the master.
"Woo, woo, woo!" Zhao Xianglin could only make a vague sound when he opened his mouth, and desperately stared at the front, Xiao Tianhe tried to open his eyes wide, good guy, it was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and the dense fog near it was sucked away, and he clearly saw that many big stones were rolling down from the valley slope and smashing towards the entrance of the cave. If you get hit by a rock, you have to be sucked into a cave, if not stoned!
"It can't be helped
Xiao Tianhe turned his heart and summoned all the demon clans in the Meng Zhang realm.
With a "bang", Yang Yuemei raised the huge Huayan shield and poked it to the ground, blocking the front. A brute force thunder roared up behind her. Shi Haoming and He Chongbao stood on either side of them, using the starlight spear and Tenglian stick to push away the oncoming stones. Behind the two of them were Ao Jianwei and Tang Yuanxing, respectively, inserting the Bone Knife and the Phantom Sea Hook into the ground, supporting them back to back. Li Cuiyan, Bai Yingxue, and Du Huairou held hands with their waists, connecting Xiao Tianhe, Zhao Xianglin and Lei Xiaoyan. Lei Xiaoyan summoned two overlord hammers and placed them on his feet to add weight to himself. In this way, the whole group worked together, and they not only withstood the terrible suction, but were not injured by the boulder.
After a while, the suction finally became less and quieter again.
Zhao Xianglin's eyes were as big as eggs, her apricot mouth was slightly open, and she looked around at this group of masters who appeared out of thin air with some confusion.
Xiao Tianhe didn't care to say much, and rushed to the entrance of the cave and shouted: "Brother Liao, Brother Sun!" His voice kept echoing in the dark cave, spreading farther and farther, but he couldn't hear any response. He refused to give up, still calling one after another, his ears carefully catching even the slightest sound coming from the hole. The more he shouted, the redder his eyes became, and large tears flowed down his cheeks.
Zhao Xianglin couldn't bear to see Xiao Tianhe so sad, put many questions behind, walked to him and squatted, and silently stroked his back.
"Let's get out of here quickly, we may not be able to hide from it again. Shi Haoming reminded.
Xiao Tianhe rolled up his sleeves to wipe away his tears, and said categorically: "I'm not leaving! I'm going to go in and find them!"
"Are you crazy? We don't know how dangerous it is, do you want to go in and die?" Zhao Xianglin scolded.
"Yes, we managed to save the two of you, why bother to take the initiative to go in?" He Chongbao also persuaded, "I'm afraid your two friends are already dead, so let's leave here first and then make plans!"
Xiao Tianhe turned around and replied firmly: "Even if it is really nine deaths, as long as there is still a glimmer of life, I will not give up." They were found by me, but now they have been harmed by me, how can I just leave?"
"Well, how can you say that you killed us? Wasn't it those Zheng Huaili's lackeys who murdered us? They escaped before the cave began to suck people, apparently they knew that there was danger here, and deliberately lured us here. Look at how I clean them up when I go back!" Zhao Xianglin gritted her teeth with hatred.
"It's me who harmed it, it's all me who harmed it......," Xiao Tianhe lowered his head and muttered, "If I hadn't had to compete with Zheng Huaili, I wouldn't have asked them to come to the abyss to explore gold; if I hadn't insisted on coming to the abyss to take a look, they wouldn't have been in danger; if I hadn't discovered something strange but didn't take precautions in time, we wouldn't have been harmed by those people; if I hadn't failed to catch Brother Liao, the two of them wouldn't have been sucked into the cave." Why didn't I do it?"
"What's wrong?What did you find?Why didn't you tell me?" Zhao Xianglin asked.
Shi Haoming continued: "There are no thorns and stones in the valley alone, this is one of them; there are thousands of high cliffs on both sides, but you can faintly hear the sound of wind and water, this is the second; after discovering the money, the first person to approach is not the gold exploration team but you people who have no mining experience, this is the third. If it were me, I would never have come one step closer to the cave based on these three points alone. Tianhe, the suffering of the two friends this time is undoubtedly a painful lesson for you, the world is dangerous, I hope you can be more cautious in the future. It's just that the knot in the past must always be passed, so let's go. β
"I've noticed weirdness, but I haven't connected it. When I found that the people of the gold exploration team did not rush forward immediately when they saw the money mine, but retreated, they finally realized the danger, but unfortunately it was too late......" Xiao Tianhe raised his head and looked at Shi Haoming, his eyes were bloodshot, "Let me ask you, if it were Yan'er or Xiaomei who were sucked into the cave today, would you leave?"
Shi Haoming was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "I understand." Not to mention Yan'er and Xiaomei, even if it's Brother Lei and Brother Tang who have just arrived, I won't leave. There are times when I worry about your safety, but I forget my duty of righteousness. Okay, I'll let Brother Ray and I go in with you. β
Xiao Tianhe nodded.
"Hey, slow down!" Ao Jianwei dragged Tang Yuanxing and asked Shi Haoming, "What, aren't we angry?"
Tang Yuanxing also echoed: "That's it, could it be that Brother Fei Shi can't look down on the ability of the two of us?"
"Tang Yuan'er, what nonsense are you talking about! Brother Shi is the kind of person who 'looks at people through the cracks in the door'? If the two of us encounter any danger in the cave, at least you and Brother Jianwei are still sound and can shoulder the heavy responsibility of continuing to protect Tianhe!"
"Oh! Brother Lei is rarely shrewd!" He Chongbao's praise drew a roll of Lei Xiaoyan's eyes.
"What about us?" asked several demon women in unison.
Shi Haoming stroked his chin: "The boulder that rolled down in the wind just now is very suspicious, how could such a big rock roll down the slope for no reason? It is not known whether they stayed or hid somewhere, or if they had seen anyone alive just now. lest they go and come back and block the entrance to the cave, and you will stay here. Brother He, you also stay here, and a few of them will be entrusted to you. β
"No problem. He Chongbao made a reassuring gesture.
"Remember, find a good place to hide and don't get sucked into the hole. Shi Haoming admonished.
Xiao Tianhe looked at Zhao Xianglin: "Sister Zhao, I think you are still ......"
"Of course I'm going too!" Zhao Xianglin didn't wait for Xiao Tianhe to finish speaking, took his hand and went into the cave.
