Chapter XVII. Leading the Way

Walking deeper into the quicksand mountain, the white snow is getting thicker and thicker, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the traces of birds and beasts are getting fewer and fewer.

A brown squirrel, without hesitation, responded to the cold wind and plunged into the deep mountains.

The squirrel's eyes were alarmed, and he kept jumping on the branches, looking back from time to time as if there was some ghost behind him.

No!

For it, these goblin monsters are more terrifying than ghosts, grandma, why are you so powerful, why do you keep following me such an inconspicuous little squirrel!

This bit of meat on my body is not enough for you to stuff your teeth, and squirrel meat is not delicious!

It's been three days, this group of monsters has driven the squirrel to hide in Tibet, not allowed to eat, drink, or rest, in this way, Lao Tzu will become the first squirrel in this mountain to starve to death, thirst and sleep.

No, I'm too thirsty, I'm going to drink water, and I'm going to drink water when I'm dying, or I'm going to die.

The squirrel sprang towards a water source he had discovered.

"Is this method feasible Zhan Yu?" asked the snake girl, who was hanging not far behind the squirrel, boredly.

It's really not difficult to track down a little squirrel that doesn't make it, don't be too easy.

"It's stupid, but the beast of the mountain must have its own place to drink, and this squirrel is almost finished, and it will lead us to water. Zhan Yu Zhizhu shook the road, and casually threw a stone and landed behind the squirrel, so frightened that it suddenly sped up.

Jin Huan, who followed behind the snake girl, held his hands and looked forward to it: "I hope the squirrel will quickly lead us to find the water source, so that it can be freed, and it is also strange and hard!"

The squirrel running in front of him did not slow down and changed direction, and suddenly disappeared into the dense forest and disappeared from the eyes of the four demons.

Zhan Yu sped up and followed, and just after stepping around the corner, the environment in front of him suddenly changed.

This is a hidden small valley, a small stream flows slowly from the dense forest, on the pebbles by the stream, there are white bones exposed, the little squirrel is drinking the water desperately, this time Zhan Yu is not using stones to drive it away.

The squirrel's eyes looked behind him, and he had already seen those monsters, but it couldn't care so much, so he would drink enough first.

But somehow, the yellow-faced youkai didn't throw stones at it again.

The squirrel finally drank the water smoothly, and after drinking it, he immediately ran towards the tree again, and looked back, only to find that the monsters had not followed.

Could it be that these monsters were also tired, and they squeaked happily and disappeared into the dense forest.

"Let's just say that this squirrel leads the way, and sure enough!"

Zhan Yu squatted on the edge of the stream and put his hand into the water, feeling that the water was not as cold as he imagined.

The cold iron sand should have been buried in the ground, but it was brought out of the surface by this current, and the source of this water is probably not underground, which is why the water of the small stream is not frozen in ice.

He grabbed a handful of sediment and let the sediment in his hand be washed away by the stream, and sure enough, a few points of silver sand flowed into the water from his fingertips: "This creek is bigger than the creek occupied by the tiger head demon that day, and the sediment at the bottom of this water is very thick, I'm afraid it hasn't been dug up by sand diggers for a long time, this is good news!"

At this time, Jin Huan had already cheered, and happily hugged the snake girl: "Finally found, thanks to that squirrel, we found the place of hiding sand so quickly!"

"It's also a demon, this Zhan Yu's head doesn't look very surprising, how can he always think of a way!"

While the snake girl was happy, she couldn't help but sigh, turned her head and said to Zhan Yu, "Zhan Yu, how did your head grow?"

Zhan Yu was also in a relaxed mood, and joked: "I still have a lot of good ideas in my head, and I will show you them one by one in the future!"

"Okay, okay, I hope Brother Zhan Yu will continue to bring surprises, so that the road will not be boring!" Jinhuan made a gesture of worship and looked at Zhan Yu and said.

Zhan Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't praise me, otherwise there will be no surprises for everyone in the future, and there will be pressure!"

Qianmu looked at everyone's easy jokes, and felt warm, at the beginning, Luo Lao explained, listening to Zhan Yu's advice on the southbound road is really right, Jiang is still old and spicy.

He glanced around, this quicksand mountain was already the last stop that the four demons of the Black Swamp could predict, and beyond this mountain, there was a black and vast desolate world to the south, and the road to the south was still far away!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be vigilant, as the demon who had cultivated the longest among the four demons, he had the responsibility to protect this moment of peace in front of him.

After a while, seeing that it was almost time to rest, Zhan Yu clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said: "Time is precious, let's get down to business and take action, and strive to exhaust the cold iron sand in this creek as soon as possible, and refine the magic weapon we want!"

"Zhan Yu just said how to do it!" said the snake girl with great interest, she was full of enthusiasm when it came to the magic weapon.

"Yes, yes!" said Jinhuan as she followed the snake girl.

"Okay, then I'll just say it. ”

Zhan Yu looked at his partners and said, "The four of us, like the tiger head demon group, leave one sentry guard, and the other three pan for sand, in order for everyone to be in a good state, let's take turns." ”

After saying this, Zhan Yu turned his head to look at Qianmu and said, "Brother Qianmu is the most stable, and this first round of vigilance tasks will be handed over to you."

A mark will be engraved on the trunk of the valley mouth, indicating that there is a lord here, and if other sand diggers see this and force themselves into the valley, they will not be polite when they fall!

Having said that, as long as it is not a demon who cultivates into the primordial god, there is nothing to be afraid of, and after entering the mountain for many days, I only see the demon cultivator of the demon pill realm entering the mountain and panning the sand, and it is estimated that the demon cultivator of the primordial god law realm cannot look down on treasures like cold iron sand. ”

"Leave it to me, no problem. ”

Chime took over the task and took action, turning around and walking towards Taniguchi.

"I've prepared how to dig for cold iron sand, and here are a few wooden basin stone shovels I prepared in advance. ”

Zhan Yu showed them one by one, and then took the snake girl and the golden ring to the icy stream and said: "The bottom of three wooden basins has been drilled and ground out by me with nearly 100 small holes wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and I will demonstrate how to use them." ”

"We can put the sediment into the leaky basin and shake it constantly, and the fine sand will flow into the basin through the small holes, so that the larger particles of sand and gravel can be directly removed, and we can wash the rest carefully, which can be much faster. ”

The reason is very simple, the two partners can understand it at one point, and the three of them will start to dig for sand directly.

When it was time to start digging sand, everyone realized that this sand digging is indeed a hard job, and the cold iron sand is mixed with the mud and sand, and there are many fine sand particles similar to it.

Even if the three of them gather the fine sand together, they still have to wash it repeatedly, using the difference in weight to wash away the useless impurities over and over again, which is a process that is constantly repeated.

At this moment, how much Zhan Yu wished that he could have a magnet from his previous life in his hand, it would not be easy to collect cold iron sand like that!
