Although the two of them did not go in one direction, they were both searching for this area of soil and forest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Not to mention, there are really many traces of tenacious life left in this harsh environment.

This is not Ji Nineteen is looking for something under the dry dirt slope without half a drop of water, it turns out to be a path formed by the long-term trampling of some unknown creature.

Looking at the freshness of this trail, it is obvious that it has been trampled by creatures for a long time, but there is no end to it along this trail and dozens of miles deep into the soil forest.

When the scorching sun was really in the sky, Ji Nineteen began to get a little irritable, and simply found a place to hide in the shade, wanting to observe what kind of creature was rushing in this path.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to have a large group of settled people, but the trails that are dozens of miles long are all wide and flat passages, and they are not like the habit of ordinary animals to choose the path nearby. At first, he thought it was a passage formed by long-term crawling of animals in the desert, but there were obvious traces of artificial excavation in some places.

He wanted to keep chasing down the trail, but his right eye was beating hard, which made him wonder if there was any danger waiting for him ahead. After hiding in the shade, the situation eased somewhat, and he slowly calmed down.

Fortunately, he realized a little bit of turtle breath in some figures on the turtle board, which was the prototype of the old turtle concealment spell under the five old peaks, so that ordinary people should not be able to discover his existence.

Fortunately, after the two parted ways, the old man was directly dragged far behind Huang Dingtian.

The night soon fell, and the temperature in the wooded area, which was still like a furnace during the day, had dropped below freezing, and due to the sharp drop in the outside temperature, the air heated by the day inside produced high-speed convection. At night, the wind howled, and the air rubbed against the sharp earth and rocks to make all kinds of harsh sounds, like a ghost crying and howling.

Ji Nineteen wrapped his robe and shrank in this place where the sun was shining during the day, and the place where the wind was leeward in the night, holding his breath and paying attention to the front and back of the trail with his eyes blazing. At this time, he hardly uses mana, so as not to cause mana fluctuations to be detected. He firmly believes that the one who can survive in such a harsh environment must have a mana body or a demon protector.

Sure enough, around midnight, footsteps could be heard from the depths of the forest. As the wind came to Ji Nineteen's ears, it seemed that he was not alone, as if he had many companions.

Closer, through the moonlight Ji Nineteen, I saw the true face of this group of people. It's really a human monk, and there are more than a dozen people in the group. The leader in the prime of life is a real person who builds a foundation, and the rest is a small cultivation of qi refining. All of them carry sacks on one shoulder, pickaxes, shovels and other utensils on the other.

A dozen or so people walked in the dark and walked quite dullly, and very few people spoke, and only a few of the obviously younger ones in the back often muttered in a low voice.

Of course, their words could not escape Ji Shijiu's intentional listening.

"Wuzi, did a flower in the village go to your cave today?"

"Yes, Xiaobei, how do you know?"

"Hehe, it's not been a day or two since we paid attention to the two of you. Although every tryst you have is in the afternoon nap, how can the smell you make in your unventilated hole escape the first spirit nose in our village? I don't want you to say that your salty and wet smell can be smelled from a few feet away. ”

"Hehe, your kid really has a hand, and my brother will have to be more careful in the future. Otherwise, it will not be good for others in the village to find out. ”

"Hehe, what are you afraid of, other people don't have our skills. However, shouldn't Brother Wu Zi bribe us, otherwise it won't be good if we don't take care of this mouth for a while. ”

"Goblin, goblin. Say, what benefits do you want? When did your brother Wuzi treat you badly?"

"Hehe, Brother Wu Zi, don't fool us. We're not as foolish as Xizi's fool. ”

"You also know about Xizi, you kid is hiding deep enough. ”

"Although that kind of accident is common, if it is intentional, there are still some traces to be found. But Brother Wuzi, don't get me wrong, we will always be on your side. As long as Brother Wu Zi can help pull the strings for Yizhihua's cousin Xiao Cai'er, let's keep everything rotten in our stomachs. ”

"Well, it turns out that your kid is for that little chubby girl. Not to mention, it is small and delicate without losing the sense of flesh, it is a good material. Cheng, tomorrow Brother will ask a flower to give her an appointment to you. But whether it succeeds or not, it depends on your own way, haha. ”

"Hehe, thank you Brother Wuzi. We owe it to both of you if it doesn't work out. ”

"Hmph, don't be too happy, there are a lot of ideas for this girl, take advantage of the opportunity. See you tomorrow at the exit of the reservoir in the northwest corner. ”

"Okay. ”

“.......”

Oh, no wonder there are human monks in such a harsh environment, it seems that someone has found an abundant source of water. But what are these boys doing in the middle of the night? Are they digging for some minerals? Let's see.

It's midnight before I dragged here, and I don't know how far the destination is, is it mining or something, isn't it a little too lazy, don't drive the magic weapon to get to the destination quickly, at least you should be in a hurry.

It's a little weird, and you have to pay attention to it. Ji Nineteen Luck Exercises followed, and now the leading Zhuji Monk was a little threatening, and the others were not worth it, but he still dealt with it carefully.

Within an hour, the team finally arrived at their destination, and the strange rocks here were jagged, and unlike other places, the stones here were all one, and many of them were eroded by the wind, either pitted, or directly formed countless twisted and crooked hollows in the large stones, and these hollows were large and small.

And where this group of people stayed, made up for such a rock, a group of people stopped to rest, but the leader climbed a protruding rock and stared at the sky, his hands stretched out, as if sensing something.

After the tea, the surrounding wind suddenly stopped, and the sound of those ghosts crying and howling also stopped abruptly.

The leading prime-aged man jumped off the mountain rock, and said loudly: "The time has come, don't act quickly." ”

A group of people waited, and the spirits got up, and the people who were still staggering a moment ago, or pretending to sleep with a pickaxe, or leaning on the rocks to bet, or muttering some gossip in twos and threes, all jumped up, and each of them held the tools in good spirits and disappeared into the stone forest.

Ji Nineteen searched for this piece of daylight, and it was also a sightseeing scene at that time, and there was nothing bizarre. Now it seems that he is afraid that he is gone. At that time, I felt that this large piece of stone was a little different from the situation of soil and stone in other places, and I didn't pay much attention to it. The only difference is that the trail started in this area.

By the way, this is probably the end of this side of the trail, although there are some traces elsewhere, but it is obviously not as obvious as here, and there may be something special.

Ji Nineteen unknowingly followed the young man who spoke just now, although this guy has a smart nose, but it is also relative to the monks of the same period can make a difference, it is difficult to find Ji Nineteen, who is a big realm and has hidden skills. Moreover, the wind that can quickly diffuse the smell under the eyes has also stopped strangely, and it is impossible to find it.

The boy was quite cautious, turning around, and from time to time he would use his pickaxe to hammer on the rocks in the aisle. He struck very regularly, only three times per piece, one light and one heavy, and when he struck, he listened attentively to the sound. Almost every time he listened, he would shake his head helplessly.

Repeat the process in the first step. Soon, this kid named Xiaobei finally found a different stone, and the sound was similar, at least Ji Shijiu, who was not far away, didn't tell that it was different.

Xiaobei had already thrown the sack to the ground, opening and closing widely, waving his pickaxe to deal with the stone. In a moment, he saw sweat on his forehead, but fortunately, every time he swung the pickaxe, it was infused with mana, and this seemingly ordinary pickaxe was still a low-level magic weapon, at least it could infuse mana.

In this way, he could only knock out some small pieces of slag from the stone that was not pitted with pockmarked holes, and with his unremitting efforts, a corner of the crystal finally emerged from the ten. Take a closer look at what this is not a spirit stone, and it is not an ordinary low-level spirit stone, it is still an intermediary spirit stone.

Ha, it's gone, it turns out that this is a spirit stone mine, and the grade is not low. It seems that this barren place is really not as barren as it seems.

Ji Nineteen let go of his divine sense and probed the rock near the left, although those crooked holes could reach in all directions, almost none of them detected a single exposed spirit stone crystal. What surprised him even more was that these stones actually had the natural use of isolating the divine sense, how could they be able to penetrate three or two feet deep into ordinary rocks, but they could not penetrate into this rock at all. The strange people who come to open mines are all small qi refining repairs, and it's useless to cultivate high. And the most primitive tools used for these minor repairs are still found by empirical tapping.

It seems that it is not so simple to mine this spirit stone mine, but a medium-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for a hundred low-grade spirit stones, and it is still priceless. I don't know what kind of existence the cottage in their mouths is, these little repairs who go out must have no oil and water on them, and they must take the risk of following them to their lair to investigate.

Hey, hey, snorting and beating hard for a long time, this Xiaobei finally dug out two middle-grade spirit stones from this stone, and they were wrapped in large rocks, and he threw these two big lumps directly into the sack before continuing to beat them.

Not to mention that this kid is really a qualified miner, in the next short period of time, he actually excavated three or five stone lumps with medium-grade spirit stones. Could it be that this mine only produces medium-grade spirit stones? It is really possible, at least this Xiaobei has been digging medium-grade spirit stones. One person can dig eight middle-grade spirit stones in one night, ten people are eighty, and the exchange of low-level spirit stones is eight thousand. Ji Nineteen thought about it in his heart, secretly applauded, and even thanked God for his favor. is very shameless, and directly treats this mineral deposit as his private property. I don't want to think about it, not everyone is an experienced miner like Xiaobei, and there are forces behind them who don't know how to protect them, and it's really not a simple thing to get these things done. It's really a bird that dies for food, and a man dies for money, and at this time, he has already thrown the warning signal of his right eye jumping all the way out of the clouds.

Just when Ji Nineteen was overjoyed, the martial ghost who was talking to Xiaobei turned to Xiaobei from other passages. And happily asked: "How is Xiaobei's harvest today?"

As soon as this Xiaobei saw Wuzi appear, he became alert, stopped his pickaxe, deliberately raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and then replied with a smile: "Luck is okay tonight, I have eight pieces." Brother Wu Zi, how did you get it? When we set out, we clearly saw that Brother Wu Zi was walking in the direction of our back. Why did you come full circle? ”

This guy is obviously very wary of the person in front of him, and it is rare that he is not carried away by the color words, and he does not fully believe in the promise of this person just now.

"Aha, Xiaobei, don't be nervous, your brother Wu Zi can do something like that to Xiaoxi, and it is impossible to do the same thing to you who is like a brother. Besides, you and I seem to be different in cultivation, and my brother doesn't have that strength. This Wuzi smiled awkwardly and pretended to explain lightly.

"Hehe, Brother Wu Zi's harvest tonight shouldn't be very good, why don't we give it to you. That's how it's good to make a difference, isn't it? Xiao Bei sucked up the sack that was thrown beside him with a move, and quickly took out several rock-wrapped ore blocks that were several circles larger than an adult's fist and threw five pieces out of it. He was no longer ready to dig the ore in front of him, and began to be on guard, consciously or unconsciously.

"Ha, Xiaobei is smart, that's fine. But the brother was disrespectful. "This Wuzi didn't catch these five stones one by one, and it seemed that he was afraid that the other party would be in the middle of the ore. And when Xiaobei threw it out just now, he was blessed with mana. He said lightly while picking up the ore slowly: "Xiaobei, Xiaodong has always been good. We are big brothers with him, and now that he is in retreat to build the foundation, we are still selling coolies here. ”

"Brother Lao Wuzi is worried, Brother Xiaodong hasn't completely retreated yet, and we're still talking to him about you during the day. Xiaobei replied calmly.

"Hah, that's right. Brother believes you, but you have to keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, hehe......" Wuzi said unhurriedly after picking up the ore and stuffing it into the sack.

"Well, don't worry, we also have to take this step for the sake of our family. Except that Brother Xiaodong knows, God knows, you know, I know. Xiaobei stared at the other party calmly.

"Good. My brother will not return with you without the wicked man, so that you can rest assured. After saying this, Wuzi turned around and picked up the sack and left.
