The seventieth episode of Lost Ridge
'Strange, where did they go?'
Mo Chong looked at the ravine-crisscrossed earth in front of him, and his brows furrowed fiercely. The land in front of you is mostly rocky and sparsely planted. The criss-crossing ravines, the big ones are seven or eight zhang wide, like small canyons. The smaller ones were only two or three inches wide, and looked down from the ravine. The inside of the ravine is also deep and shallow, and the deep pitch black is bottomless. The shallow one is just a small crack.
It's a great place to hide. It was the entire sect of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect that went out and hid in these ravines. Ten days and a half may not be discovered. It's just that. The three of them were not injured, and there were no pursuers behind them, but what did they come here for?'
Mo Chong was puzzled. However, he also knew that he didn't have to think about it at all if he wanted to find Zhao Xuening here. Immediately jumped into one of the ravines. Zhao Xuening and the three of them couldn't find it by themselves, but they were too conspicuous standing on the ground, maybe there were monks from other sects hidden in any ravine, so they should hide themselves first.
"Senior Brother Xiao, what are you bringing us here for, is it to hide from other monks?"
Mo Chong had already given up the idea of looking for Zhao Xuening and them, but as soon as he jumped into the ravine, he heard Zhao Xuening's familiar words in his ears. Her voice was very soft, but since Mo Chong could hear it, it was obvious that she was very close to the three of them.
I only heard Xiao Changqing reply: "Naturally, there is a reason for coming here. This place is called the Lost Trace Ridge, the ground is thousands of ravines, and all kinds of cave cracks in the ravines extend in all directions, and it is a labyrinth-like storage zĂ i. This kind of place is very suitable for the survival of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and our six major factions have stocked many low-level demon beasts here. I brought you here, mainly for these demon beasts, if you are lucky, you will find the young eggs and cubs of the demon beasts, which is even more valuable. As for hiding from other monks, it is not necessary. The guy who followed us was either a coward or just a fellow traveler and didn't pose any threat to us, so we didn't have to pay attention. â
Mo Chong was slightly shocked in his heart, it turned out that he was not almost discovered by them, but had been discovered by them. Fortunately, they didn't lay any traps against themselves, otherwise this oolong would have made a big fuss.
Li Honglian said: "There is one thing I don't understand. Senior Brother Xiao, can you give me some advice?"
Xiao Changqing said: "What's the matter?"
Li Honglian said: "Since the six major factions can keep the demon beasts here, why don't they just raise them in the sect's spirit beast garden? In this way, it is naturally convenient for these demon beasts to be used when they grow up, and the cubs they give birth to can also be used in time to recognize the master, no better than raising spirit beasts now and having to try their luck to find their young eggs? Especially since the Beast Immortal Sect is even more troublesome to raise from the beast cubs." â
Xiao Changqing said: "Of course, there is a reason for this. Demon beasts raised by monks usually do not give birth to offspring. Even the spirit beasts that have confessed their Lord are the same. No matter how loyal they are, they still have a bit of wildness in their hearts, and they don't want to let their descendants be driven by others like themselves. There are some spirit animals raised by monks, even if they give birth to cubs, they will also bite to death by themselves, and will not let the monks get them. Of course, insects with low intelligence still lay eggs. It's just that the resources consumed to raise a spirit insect and a demon beast are almost the same. But the practicality of a spirit insect cannot be compared to that of a spirit beast at all. Therefore, if you want a spirit animal, you can only try your luck from a wild spirit animal. At this point, Senior Brother Mo's luck is excellent. â
When Li Honglian heard 'Senior Brother Mo is extremely lucky', she immediately became interested and asked, "Oh, did Senior Brother Mo get any spirit beasts?"
Xiao Changqing nodded, and immediately told Mo Chong about an unknown cyan snake, and along with it, he also talked about what happened in the dungeon. Some of the thrilling points, Xiao Changqing certainly said it with flying eyebrows, and Li Honglian also heard it from the outside world. Mo Chong, who was not far away, listened, but secretly smiled bitterly in his stomach: Listening to this Xiao Changqing, I am a talented general who strategizes and wins thousands of miles.
"There's nothing dangerous on this side. Be careful if you go east. In the vertical and horizontal gullies to the east, there is a small vein of Gangyin sand. Most of the monks who knew about the Lost Trail Ridge had gone to the silver sand veins. After talking about the things in the dungeon, Xiao Changqing's topic returned to the front.
Mo Chong on the side heard 'Gangyinsha', and his spirits immediately perked up. He had heard this material talk about it, and it was excellent for refining weapons. Now his pair of tiger claws sunk in the lake can't be fished. Although the seven sharp blades he got from Shi Wuchang in his hand were sharp, Mo Chong always felt that he couldn't take advantage of them. It would be great if you could find some Gang Silver Sand and create a new flying sword. After all, Mo Chong had now begun to cultivate the Eight Desolations Sword Technique, and a good sword was indispensable.
Having made up his mind, Mo Chong immediately quietly retreated. The comprehensive strength of the three people in front of him has far surpassed him, and it is no longer important that he is not on the side. However, the silver sand is hard and hard, and I heard that it is difficult to mine, if I don't find it quickly, I am afraid that after seven days, I may not be able to gather enough materials for a flying sword.
After walking between the ravines and caves for more than half an hour, Mo Chong's ears began to hear the sound of blades clashing and spells bursting, and at first it was only one or two places, and he could still distinguish clearly. Later, there were fights in all directions, and it was impossible to know where to be safe.
'Well, this one, it seems, is just an ordinary silver mine. â
In a cave, Mo Chong dug up a few pieces of ore from the mountain wall and immediately sighed after identifying them. Xiao Changqing only said that there is Gangyinsha here, but he didn't say that there are many ore veins in addition to Gangyinsha, and he has found several copper, iron, gold, and silver mines along the way. If you continue to look for such caves, I don't know when I will be able to find them.
"Hmph! I still want to go!?
A cold snort came from not far behind him. The sound of shouting is in your ears, and you can faintly hear the sound of the placket breaking through the air. Mo Chong, unwilling to be drawn into the fight of the other monks for no reason, immediately stepped a little down, withdrew from the mine, and burrowed into another narrow ravine.
"Huh!?Where have you gone!?You go over there!You, you!!Go there!"
Behind him, there was another shout, followed by a burst of footsteps, and it seemed that there was more than one person following him. Mo Chong was crying out in his heart at this time, and he didn't know which bastard was running for his life to go this way. If he is bumped into, it will not work if he does not fight, but if he does, the terrain of these many opponents is narrow, and if they are blocked, it will be over. Thinking like this, Mo Chong immediately climbed up and headed towards the ground above his head. He didn't want to cause trouble for no reason, just go up and run for a while and then come down.
However, to Mo Chong's surprise, he had just poked his head out of the ravine when he heard a person shouting, "Hey! See! It's here, come here!"
Mo Chong complained bitterly in his heart, why, there are people even on the ground? Your uncle can see clearly with his eyes wide open, are you chasing me!? Unfortunately, Mo Chong didn't have time to waste time on his tongue at this time, so he could only sink his body, fall back into the ravine, and then rush forward.
"This way, this way, left, left, now right! Turn!"
The guys on the ground have very good eyes, and Mo Chong can always be seen by the other party no matter how much he beats around the bush. Mo Chong had already scolded in his heart at this time: "Your uncle, your eyes are so good, why can't you see that Lao Tzu is not the person you want to chase!? Unfortunately, there are ore veins everywhere here, and the rocks mixed with metal ore are extremely hard, and Mo Chong's approach has little effect, but exposes his own traces.
"Fuck off, rotten duck eggs! Lao Tzu is not the one you want to chase!" Mo Chong finally became a little angry.
The person chasing behind him was stunned for a moment when he heard Mo Chong's words, and then chased after him. While chasing back, I heard someone say: "Mom, this guy can still talk!"
After running forward for a while, Mo Conflict's feet softened, and he stepped on a large black and soft thing, and the person involuntarily slid forward. Mo Chong was startled at first, and then saw the real thing under his feet clearly, this was the umbrella cover of an unknown big mushroom, and the cat immediately bent down and did not move, allowing the mushroom umbrella cover to carry him forward. The terrain in front of him sloped downward, and the mushroom umbrella cover could carry him all the way forward. And on both sides are some plants covered with spikes, and if the people behind him don't want to be pierced by these spikes, they can only bow down like Mo Chong. They don't have anything under their feet to glide underneath, so they must not be able to chase the ink. If they climb to the ground, then they might as well go around, and Mo Chong will have time to burrow into those ravines and caves. The dense spiky vegetation also had the added benefit of blocking the view of the Monk Guiding the Way on the ground, so that he could no longer see Mo Chong's movements.
"Hey, where did you go!?"
"I can't see it, there are too many weeds!
"Ouch. These spikes are poisonous!"
There was a commotion behind him. Mo Chong listened with great certainty, and heard someone shouting that the spikes were poisonous. He was more careful, grabbing a shield out and holding it in front of him to prevent it from being pierced by spikes. After sliding a stick of incense all the way forward, the terrain gradually flattened, and the speed of the ink chong gradually slowed down, and finally stopped.
Mo Chong stood up and looked around. I saw that I was now in a huge ravine, the width of the ravine was two or three zhang, the height was more than ten zhang, and the rock walls on both sides were covered with an unknown green plant that was more than three feet high. They don't have spikes, and they exude a little aura on their bodies, which should be a certain kind of spirit grass. On the ground, you can see large and small caves everywhere, the big ones are the size of human heads, and the small ones are only the size of eggs, and it seems that there are many snakes and insects here.
