Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety-Nine: The Discovery of the Mine in Luanshan City

Yeah?

Is it me?

For a while, Xia Tuo was a little drifting.

It turns out that he, Patriarch Xia, is also very popular.

good.

It's not in vain for him to toss~ Uh... I have worked so hard for so many years.

"You didn't really come out of that corner, did you?"

Facing the narcissistic Xia Tuo, the middle-aged warrior next to him kept looking at him with suspicion.

It shouldn't be.

Now in this vast land, who can not know the Patriarch of Daxia.

Oh, no, it's the head of the family, and we are all Daxia people.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that the airship fleet sitting under the buttocks was established by the Patriarch of Daxia himself. There are every city, and there is a unified management of the city. Every two months, they will fly between the cities. Each city travels once.

For ordinary warriors, they can't even get out of the small town where they live for the rest of their lives, and the vast wilderness outside the city is full of dangers.

But with the flying boat, it is different. The special warriors in the Great Xia City Region control the flying boat, and each of them is controlled by a strong person at the peak of the Tianmai realm. When traveling between cities, even if they are not totem warriors, they can still leave the city they are in.

As for the price, it was a small beast core.

For warriors who are accustomed to wandering in the wilderness, the appearance of flying boats is more convenient. Traveling between cities by flying boats reduces too many dangers and increases the connection and communication between cities.

"I'm ignorant."

Naturally, Xia Tuo wouldn't care about a martial artist who opened a mountain. How could he not know about the flying boat? He ordered it to be formed.

It was originally built to communicate with warriors between cities, but due to the high cost, a fleet of airships was formed in each city, just like the intercity bus in the previous life.

But I have to say that a good operation is feasible no matter in that world. The appearance of the flying boat greatly facilitates the communication between warriors, and also drives some warriors to go out.

The flying boat belongs to the Daxia official,

The city lord's mansion is in charge, and the flight route was cleared out at a considerable cost. After all, there are many ferocious beasts in the barren land, and the defense of the flying boat is really unflattering.

In fact, in the past few years, many flying boats have been attacked by ferocious beasts and fell into the wilderness, but this did not scare the warriors of the Great Xia. The reason why casual cultivators wandered is to obtain cultivation resources, and danger is always with them, which is inevitable .

If you encounter danger, you can only count yourself as unlucky, and if you are not strong enough, who else can you blame.

...

Seven days later, the flying boat landed in the main city of Nine Beasts, and Xia Tuo walked out among the crowd with three elders.

The old man Feng and the two elders, Feng and Tu, followed Xia Tuo, and they could tell that the head of the clan didn't plan to return to the clan unless he knew the clan domain thoroughly.

Xia Tuo didn't hide his thoughts at all. He needed to have a clear and considerable understanding of Daxia in order to know how much potential Daxia has.

Over the years, he has been very displeased with this loose tribal system in the barren land. Every tribe is united, but things cannot be done by a single tribe.

Even the Bobu and Houbu outside the borderlands cannot fully control the vassal tribes in the clan domain. No matter how powerful the Houbu is, is it possible that they can manage a small person in a small subordinate tribe?

The edict of the Hou Ministry is naturally an edict, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it is impossible to truly implement the edict to a certain person.

...

Naturally, the Nine Beast City alone cannot represent the entire Great Xia. After leaving the Nine Beast City, the four of them went to the Soul Mountain City. domain, and finally went to Luanshan city domain.

In the city area of ​​Luan Mountain, there is a large abandoned ore vein, which has been mined for tens of thousands of years, and many associated ore veins are still found.

Especially from the time when Daxia established the Luanshan city area, the spiritual energy in the depths of the mine veins continued to spill out. Jian Xianer, who was sitting in Luanshan Mountain, went deep into the mine veins many times to investigate, but found nothing.

When she came to Luan Mountain to become the city lord back then, she was still at the peak of the Tianmai, but this morning she is already a martial artist in the Divine Hidden Realm, and she is still elusive about the spiritual meaning deep in the mine.

She has also reported to the tribe many times about the abnormality of the mine veins. After the tribe sent people to investigate, they found nothing unusual. It seems that the spirit deep in the mine veins is still in the process of eruption, far from reaching the final state.

Xia Tuo knew about the strangeness of the Luanshan mine vein, but he was not a casual cultivator, but the leader of the Daxia clan, so he would not go to peek at any chance by himself easily.

...

"Meet the city lord, the three elders."

In the city lord's mansion, Jian Xian'er was awakened from her cultivation, and she was also taken aback. Why did the patriarch come to Luan Mountain without making a sound, and brought three elders with him.

"Xian'er, I have seen Luanshan City. It is very stable and there is still a trace of peace. Your contribution is indisputable."

After being praised by Xia Tuo, Jian Xian'er's face flushed slightly. Her face was somewhat similar to Jian Ling's, but compared to Jian Ling's, she exuded a more icy aura.

With old man Feng and the three elders present, Jian Xian'er didn't dare to get too close to Xia Tuo, her face tensed, and she said in a deep voice, "I don't know what orders the patriarch has when he comes to Luanshan City."

Looking at Jian Xian'er's appearance, Xia Tuo still couldn't forget the way the little girl cried when she was a child. Decades have passed in the blink of an eye, and the little girl who was just a few years old back then has also become a warrior in the Divine Hidden Realm.

"Luanshan City has been developing for so many years, I'll come and take a look."

Hearing this, Jian Xian'er raised her head and glanced at Xia Tuo, then said, "Then I'll take the patriarch and the three elders and go for a walk around the city."

"Okay, don't disturb too many people."

Xia Tuo got up and walked towards the outside of the hall.

In fact, the development of these years has proved the ability of the seven status disciples in the school back then, and they did a good job in the position of the city lord of the main city. In the past year, he has been promoted to Shenzang Realm one after another.

"understood."

"Xian'er, how about the City Martial Academy?"

"Luanshan City has fourteen elementary martial arts schools and one high-level martial arts academy. The elementary martial arts academy trains youngsters below totem warriors, and the advanced martial arts academy trains totem warriors. In the past five years, Luanshan has sent three Twelve teenagers who are talented in witchcraft."

Hearing this, Xia Tuo nodded. Earlier, he asked the Great Xia Academy to recruit many totem fighters at once. This is also a helpless matter. When conditions permit in the future, this hierarchical training system must be implemented.

Although Xian'er said so, in fact, the young totem warriors in various cities over the years were sent to the academy after simply learning some related knowledge of witch patterns in the high-level martial arts academy.

"By the way, how about the fertility rate in the metropolitan area?"

Xia Tuo's questions are all casual, and they are also the most basic questions of Daxia.

"Not so good. Although the city has become much more stable over the years, the baby's death rate is still very high."

Xian'er groaned softly, and glanced at Xia Tuo. Seeing that Xia Tuo's expression hadn't changed much, she felt relieved.

...

Luanshan City has existed for a long time. Since the discovery of mineral veins in this area, warriors have gathered to build the city. Over the years, the city has been destroyed many times in wars. Today's Luanshan City was built on the ruins of previous times.

The city is located between the mountains. Large areas of the city wall are black and covered with mottled traces. There are also some bluestone walls that glow in the sun. This is the repaired city wall after Da Xiali City, making the city look like a piece of land. One piece, like a patch.

A few people walked along the long stone road towards the outside of the city. Xian'er wore a veil on her head, and the light veil fell to her ankles, blocking the prying eyes of outsiders.

Xia Tuo could feel Jian Xian'er's thoughts, like a child who has completed a major event and is waiting for an adult to check.

There was a lot of people in Luanshan City, and there were many warriors coming and going, but most of them carried worn-out animal skin bags and tools like small shovels on their shoulders.

Relying on mountains eats mountains, and relying on mines naturally eats mines. Luanshan City is backed by mine veins, supporting so many warriors in Luanshan, especially the passage of flying boats, so that warriors in Luanshan City have a way to exchange resources.

Every time the flying boat passed Luan Mountain, many warriors would carry big animal skin bags and go to other cities to sell their ores.

Walking out of Luanshan City, there is a large area of ​​undulating mountains. Naturally, don’t think about Lingtian. The mining of ore veins in Luanshan for thousands of years has already dug many mines in a radius of thousands of miles, and many places have collapsed and formed deep pools.

"Previously Elder Shao came to our Luan Mountain to promote the planting of spiritual fields. As soon as he left the city, he looked at the mines all over the mountain and almost cried."

Jian Xian'er pointed to the surrounding mountains and said with a smile, causing several people to burst into laughter.

Luanshan City is not a place for farming at all, not only Luanshan City, but other cities under it are all mining cities established in this mining area.

"I know about this. Elder Shao said that he will never come to Luanshan City in this life."

Elder Tu answered, and after finishing speaking, she also laughed.

...

Standing on a hill outside the city, Xia Tuo looked around, and could see many figures surging among the mountains, some of whom were still there just now, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It must have fallen into a pit.

Before coming to Luan Mountain, he also thought it was an abandoned mine, but now it seems that the abandoned mine still feeds millions of warriors on this land.

"Is there still so much ore underneath?"

The old man Feng stroked his beard, and asked with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"There are many spiritual ores, such as refined iron ore, black iron ore, copper ore, various quasi-gold-plated black iron crystals, red refined iron, etc. There are hundreds of types, and occasionally broken spirit crystals and innate low-level Divine gold."

After living in Luan Mountain for so many years, Xian'er naturally understood Menqing, and then said: "However, these veins are scattered, and the large veins have been dug out long ago, so I can only enter the mine alone like these warriors. Depending on the chance, sometimes you may not be able to dig a good ore if you stay for many days."

"Pity."

Old Man Feng shook his head, such a good vein was actually dug dry.

Xia Tuo didn't intend to grab the jobs of these warriors. The main veins of such a large mining area have been hollowed out long ago, and the rest are leftovers. Large-scale excavation is not counted. After all, ordinary mortal ores are the mainstream in the wild land.

"Let's go, go to the mine where the aura emanates."

After observing the mine veins around Luanshan City, Xia Tuo withdrew his eyes and said softly, Luanshan obviously doesn't need to think about promoting Lingmi. Even Elder Shao saw the place where he wanted to cry, so let it go.

"It's not far ahead."

The overflow of spiritual energy cannot be concealed, nor is it deliberately concealed. Over the years, many warriors have sneaked into the mine to take a peek, and most of them returned in the end.

After crossing thousands of miles of mountains and plains, Xia Tuo finally understood why no one came and returned without success. There are too many mines where the aura is overflowing. Looking at the undulating hills, the mines are as dense as mouse holes.

For thousands of years, this mountain has been dug full of holes. No one knows where the underground mines meander, and if you go in, you will fall into it if you are not careful.

"Patriarch, I have searched hundreds of these mines, but after going hundreds of meters underground, I had to return."

Jian Xian'er pointed at the large mine and said softly.

"Go back to the city and wait for me. I'll go and see what's going on?"

After saying that, Xia Tuo took a step forward, and several people appeared hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye, and disappeared in the next moment.

They didn't think there was anything wrong with these people. The patriarch was a supernatural being, and his supernatural powers were naturally beyond their capabilities.

...

The dark mine cave exudes a damp atmosphere, and on the stone walls of the mine cave opened around, there are still some crystal lights flickering, which are sporadic ore debris in the rock.

Walking towards the depths of the mine, a bronze token appeared in his hand, which was the one given to him by Hou Feng earlier, saying that it had something to do with Ji Meng Dongtian.

Just now, the bronze token moved.

This surprised him, recalling the change in Xun Fenghou's expression when he gave him the token, there was no special fluctuation.

coincide?

He has been practicing martial arts for so many years, and he has long disbelieved in such things as coincidences. What he believes more is that there are witches in this world, and powerful witches have the power to change the world. Accurate, at least it can deduce a rough idea.

So in many cases, the fate has already been doomed. Of course, it can't be said that people will count on you, it can only be said that the law of fate is like this.

hum!

The token covered with copper rust buzzed, and every bit of copper rust on it was like a grain of copper sand at this moment, exuding the breath of ancient vicissitudes.

Xia Tuo found that the more he moved forward, the stronger the ancient and vicissitudes of life, it seemed that the breath on the copper rust token was the same as the breath deep in the mine.

With this connection, whenever there are multiple passages in the mine, he can easily find the direction, and soon he walked down the depths of the mine five hundred feet above the ground.

It can be seen that the mine vein was very large back then, and it has been excavated to such a depth. On the surrounding rock walls, some quasi-sacred gold can already be seen shining brightly.

These quasi-sacred golds are bound to be snapped up by warriors in Luanshan City if they are placed outside today, but they may have been looked down upon back then.

The mine was going down obliquely, and he reckoned that he had walked fifty miles, and the surrounding rock walls were already covered with icy shards of ice, and the surrounding air was filled with gloom.

Click!

At this moment, he stepped on a hard object under his feet, and under the peek of spiritual power, he could see the scene in the mine at a glance.

It was a broken arm bone, only a few fingers remained, and the rest had been reduced to ashes, soaked in cold water vapor.

There is a bronze ring on the finger bone, and a green bamboo is carved on it.

Scanning mentally, he found that it turned out to be a witch treasure, and it was also a formation. At this moment, Xia Tuo felt that he was ignorant again.

Someone actually printed a formation on the small ring, but it seems that the spirituality of the ring is a little faded and needs to be cultivated.

But it's a baby anyway.

Since the discovery of the first corpse, Xia Tuo has discovered many corpses one after another, all of which have been reduced to ashes, and some weapons have also decayed, breaking into slag with a slight movement.

After another 30 miles, the copper-rust token in his hand hummed faintly, and the light bloomed, and the faint green color seemed very permeating in this dim mine.

call!

There was a sound of wind in the mine, which was already extremely deep in the ground, not to mention that the mine turned around seven times, where could there be wind blowing in, for a while, Xia Tuo's spirit tensed up.

After walking forward for less than a mile, the mine suddenly expanded, as if entering an underground cave. The ground was covered with many bones, which were already decayed just like the ones seen before.

This karst cave is very different from the mine. There are traces of man-made chopping around, and some traces are still filled with a terrifying atmosphere.

hum!

His mental thoughts swept around, and suddenly there was a roar, and there was a huge wave in the spiritual world. Even if the prototype of the primordial spirit was protected by the Xuankong Armor, the roar still exploded in the soul.

In a trance, a blue divine light washed over the spiritual world. Above the vast mountains and rivers, a hazy figure waved his hands.

This is a figure with the body of a dragon head, and the aura on his body is far superior to that of the old gods that Xia Tuo has ever seen.

Click!

In an instant, the mind returned to calm, and the spiritual world gradually returned to its original state. Xia Tuo panted heavily, a little unbelievable, what he saw.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea?

The Dragon King of the South China Sea?

This is how it was played in Journey to the West.

It took a long time before he came back to his senses, he was a man of the cave.

Xun Fenghou said that Jimeng Dongtian and Tianhou Mountain have a relationship. It seems that Tianhou Mountain was supported by Jimeng Dongtian. What Tianhou Mountain has done in these years can be deduced that Jimeng Dongtian should be with the frontier people. of.

But the body of the leader...

How handsome!

At this moment, he looked at the rock wall directly in front of him. A stone gate was inlaid on the rock wall in this way, and the spirit emanated from behind this stone gate.

Could it be that Ji Meng Dongtian is behind this stone gate?

Walking in front of the stone gate, Xia Tuo saw a groove on the ten-foot-high stone gate, which looked the same as the shape of the token in his hand.

Suddenly, a group of mud horses ran past in his mind.

Clang!

He came here, so he wanted to have a look. He put the token into the groove, and then the figure stepped back, his whole body tensed up, and he was ready to take precautions.

Click!

The stone door opened.

Still push-pull.

But it is pulled upwards.

Inside the stone gate is a long corridor, the passage is about ten feet high leading straight to the depths, and there is a faint spiritual light shining.

ps In today's update, I wrote two large chapters with more than 5,000 words. I don't divide them into chapters. I'm sorting out the plot later, and I haven't changed them tonight.
