Chapter 160 Discovery of Associated Mine
"Of course, fellow daoists, if you want to mine some ore, please feel free, but you have also seen that the Qian family has left a lot of traps, and if the traps are triggered, it will be troublesome."
Zhao Tiangang said meaningfully that other people would not agree to guard a second-tier metal mine and not mine it.
Tier 2 metal mines, even with a Tier 2 magic weapon, it's not easy to get a piece of ore, and it can't be mined for a long time in a month, not to mention that the Qian family has set up many traps.
Han Changming and others went to mine ore, but they helped Tinghaige a lot.
Han Changming and the others looked at each other without saying a word.
"If that's the case, then we'll take care of ourselves."
Chen Yuxuan turned his eyes and said with a smile.
"There is no problem in mining ore, but I need to tell you that in front of the enemy, don't do stupid things. Maybe the Qian family will counterattack soon. At that time, everyone needs to cooperate sincerely to fight the enemy."
Zhao Tiangang said meaningfully.
The four cultivating families recruited by Tinghai Pavilion are not monolithic. The Han family and the Chen family have been old enemies for many years.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhao, we know what to do."
Han Changming agreed with a smile. In front of the enemy, he will naturally not kill each other with the monks of the Chen family. He is not that stupid.
Zhao Tiangang sent someone to arrange a residence for them. The Qian family built a house on the island, and Han Changming and other Han family monks lived in a two-story blue attic.
Han Changming and Ye Xin discussed whether to mine ore. To be honest, they didn't get much cultivation resources during this trip, and they didn't lose any personnel.
Guarding a Tier 2 metal mine and not mining some ores is really unreasonable, and letting gas refining monks mine ores is prone to casualties.
"Husband, I think we can try to mine ore, let the puppet beasts walk in front, and we walk behind. There should not be many traps left by the Qian family. There are so many mines, and they may not be able to arrange them. Of course, we The ore is only mined on the periphery, not deep."
Ye Xin suggested that the Han family has advantages that other immortal cultivators do not have. The Han family started with puppets. Every time they go to battle, the monks of the Han family will bring a lot of puppets. This time is no exception. They can let the puppets explore the way , They followed behind to minimize casualties.
Han Changming pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's do this! I'll take five people to scout the way first, and if there's no problem, I'll call you again."
He has the defensive magic weapon of Xuan Lingzhu, even if it is a second-order formation, it can't help him in a short time.
"Husband, why don't I take five people to explore the way first!"
Han Changming shook his head and said, "Your cultivation base is too low, so I don't feel relieved, so let's do it! You wait outside for news from me, and I will contact you with the communication board."
He selected five clansmen and walked towards the mine together.
The ore vein is located inside a mountain peak more than 100 Zhang long. At the foot of the mountain there is a hole more than 10 Zhang long. There are many raw ore scattered around the hole, and there are several refining furnaces for refining ore.
What is mined is the raw ore, and the ore can only be obtained after refining.
As soon as they entered the cave, more than a dozen long passages appeared in front of them. The stone walls were bumpy and hollow, and golden light could be seen faintly.
With a thought in his mind, Han Changming took out a red throwing knife and hacked at the golden stone wall.
Bang!
There was a muffled sound of gold and iron clashing, leaving only shallow knife marks on the stone wall.
Surprise flashed across Han Changming's eyes. With a pinch of the formula, the red flying knife's light rose, and it slashed at the stone wall again, leaving a shallow knife mark.
He opened his mouth, and a red-yellow flame flew out, wrapped in a red throwing knife, and slashed on the stone wall again, leaving a groove about a foot long and half an inch deep.
Half a quarter later, a piece of red ore the size of a watermelon fell from the stone wall. A young man in a golden shirt in his early twenties stepped forward quickly, picked up the ore, and handed it to Han Changming: "Brother Jiu, there is not much raw ore here. Mine, it is estimated that not much ore can be extracted."
Only a small area of the raw ore can see golden light spots, and other places are earthy yellow, which are impurities.
The young man in the golden shirt is Han Changxin, ranked twenty-first, his father is Han Deguang, and Han Changxin is Han Deguang's youngest son.
Han Changming took a look at the ore, nodded, and put away the raw ore.
This is the outskirts. If the ore content of the raw ore is high, the monks of the Qian family would not have to build so many mine tunnels.
He sacrificed three mysterious spirit beads, which turned into a thick three-color light curtain, covering the five of them, and a clansman released a puppy puppet beast to run in front.
The passage was relatively long, and after walking hundreds of feet, a grotto with the size of an acre appeared in front of them. The stone walls were pitted, and some places were glowing with golden light, while others were not. There were more than a dozen mine tunnels of different sizes in the grotto , I do not know where to lead.
The six of Han Changming followed the puppy puppet and walked into a mine near the left.
The mine tunnel can accommodate three people walking side by side. The stone walls on the left and right sides are pitted and glowing with golden light.
After walking for more than a hundred zhang, a grotto with a size of more than a hundred zhang suddenly appeared in front of them, and there were more than a dozen mine tunnels of different sizes in the grotto.
Han Changming frowned, and continued to choose the mine road on the left.
In this way, they passed through five mines in a row, choosing the mine on the left each time.
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise, and a huge burst of fire suddenly burst out from the ground in front of it, drowning the puppy puppet beast.
Han Changming was startled, with a look of alert on his face, he released his consciousness and looked around.
Soon, the flames dissipated, the puppy puppet disappeared, and there was a big hole on the ground.
A clansman continued to release a puppy puppet beast, and before going far, a large flame burst out from the ground, obviously, another restriction was triggered.
"Ninth brother! There are probably many restrictions on this mine, do you think it is better to change to another mine?"
Han Changming looked thoughtful. According to Zhao Tiangang and others' statements, they captured Heiyan Island by force and killed several Qian family monks. In this way, there is not much time left for the Qian family monks. There are too many restrictions. Moreover, as far as Han Changming knows, this kind of restriction is more troublesome to arrange and uses more materials. If you want to kill the invading enemy, it is indeed a good choice to place restrictions in the mine.
However, it doesn't make sense to place two restrictions in the same mine. Who knows which mine the enemy will enter?
If Han Changming was a monk of the Qian family, he would definitely set up restrictions on many mine roads to kill the enemy as much as possible.
Arranging two prohibitions in the same mine, is it possible that the monks of the Qian family are protecting something?
Tier 2 metal mines are not particularly precious, unless something extraordinary appears.
Han Changming thought about it carefully, assuming he was a monk of the Qian family, knowing that the enemy would come, he would definitely mine as much ore as possible. When the enemy came, he would run away immediately and retreat to the base camp to strengthen his own defense.
The Qian family gave up Golden Leaf Island and Copper Coin Island to strengthen their defenses. It stands to reason that they should withdraw the monks stationed on Heiyan Island. Instead of withdrawing, the Qian family strengthened the defense of Heiyan Island. Zhao Tiangang led a dozen A foundation-building cultivator and more than 20 Qi-refining cultivators attacked for several hours and forcibly breached Heiyan Island before the Qian family retreated.
From this point of view, there must be something very important in this vein.
"Associated mine?"
This word suddenly appeared in Han Changming's mind. Some veins will have associated ore, but generally speaking, associated ore will not be too rare, and the amount is generally not large.
"There must be an important associated mine. The Qian family would be reluctant to give up Heiyan Island. They would rather give up the Golden Leaf Island and Copper Coin Island that have been in business for many years than give up Heiyan Island. If Zhao Tiangang and others forcibly besieged Heiyan Island , the Qian family monks are still unwilling to withdraw."
He suddenly thought of one thing. When he first came to Heiyan Island, he heard the Qi Refining Cultivator of Haige asked Zhao Tiangang for help. Zhao Tiangang wanted to rescue him, but his disciples were all dead. Send people to look for it, but there is no way, the mine is too big.
Zhao Tiangang should have realized that there is an associated mine, he did not block the vein, firstly, he did not find the whereabouts of the associated mine; secondly, the Qian family will counterattack when the time comes, Zhao Tiangang needs other people to cooperate against the monks of the Qian family; thirdly , Zhao Tiangang also hoped that other people would help clear the restriction.
"You said, if there is a very important associated mine, you are monks of the Qian family, what should you do if you can't defend Heiyan Island?"
Han Changming asked.
"Hide the cave where the associated mine is located, and use the array to restrain it, or the simplest earth wall technique."
"Set up restrictions in the mine where the associated mine is located, to scare away other monks."
Han Changxin pondered for a moment and said, "I will dig more mines near the associated mines to confuse the public."
They express their opinions, and everyone has a certain point of view.
"Forget it, don't care, everyone, manipulating the magic weapon, attacking the ground and the stone wall, I don't believe it, I can't find out the location of the associated mine."
Han Changming had no better way, he could only use the most stupid way.
They sacrificed magic weapons one after another, attacking the ground and stone walls.
For a while, the muffled sound of gold and iron clashing continued.
They did not find any prohibitions, nor did they find associated mines,
They continued to move forward, and along the way, many restrictions were triggered. Fortunately, there were no casualties, and many puppets were scrapped.
After a cup of tea, they appeared in a grotto hundreds of feet in size. The stone walls were pitted and glowed with golden light, no different from other mines.
"Hey, Brother Nine, this is the feces of spirit beasts."
Han Changxin let out a slight gasp, and picked up a light yellow object. The yellow object exuded a stench. If you didn't observe it carefully, you might think it was a stone.
Han Changming took a look and found that it was indeed a piece of feces.
Since there are feces of spirit beasts here, it means that the monks of the Qian family have been active here, and maybe they have released spirit beasts to dig mines.
They peered carefully toward the nearby ground, hoping to find something else.
Not long after, Han Changxin found some soil with brown blood stains and some peeled off animal skins.
"Brother twenty-one, do you know what kind of spirit beast this is?"
Han Changming asked casually, Han Deguang is the most powerful spiritual master of the Han family, and Han Changxin liked to raise spirit insects and beasts since he was a child.
"If I'm not wrong, this should be a kind of spirit beast called an earth dragon beast. This kind of spirit beast is good at digging holes and likes to eat meat. The monks of the Qian family should have stayed here for a while and used the earth dragon beast to dig holes. Found a good thing, maybe it is an associated mine."
Han Changxin analyzed calmly.
Han Changming nodded, feeling that what Han Changxin said made sense, and ordered the clansmen to sacrifice magic weapons to attack the ground and stone walls.
To everyone's great disappointment, they did not find any restrictions, nor did they find any other abnormalities.
Han Changming looked at a dozen mines not far away. Since the associated mine is not here, it is likely to be among the dozen mines.
At this moment, there was a strange hissing sound from the spirit beast bag around his waist.
Han Changming was slightly taken aback, and slapped the spirit beast bag with his palm, and the Amethyst Flying Scorpion flew out of the spirit beast bag.
It swallowed the excrement of a poisonous insect before, fell asleep and now suddenly woke up.
The Amethyst Flying Scorpio let out a strange hissing sound, flapped its wings, and rushed towards a certain mine at a very fast speed.
"Go, follow."
Han Changming's expression changed, and he ordered.
The Amethyst Flying Scorpion is a second-order spirit insect. Even with a second-order formation, it is impossible to kill it easily. Han Changming is quite at ease.
Not long after, they found several corpses of Tinghai Pavilion disciples, one of them was black in body, as if poisoned, no wonder the Amethyst Flying Scorpion came here, it turned out that it smelled of poison.
If Han Changming remembered correctly, the disciple of Tinghai Pavilion who died had called poisonous insects, which meant that there were poisonous insects here.
Not far away was a large pit, and several bloody corpses lay near the pit.
The Amethyst Flying Scorpion ignored these corpses and continued to move forward.
Han Changming and others searched away the property belonging to the Tinghai Pavilion disciples, and followed.
After a while, a grotto of more than ten feet in size appeared in front of them, with golden light shining on the stone walls, which looked no different from other places.
The Amethyst Flying Scorpio let out an excited hiss, and hit a certain stone wall with its tail sting.
There was a series of clashing sounds of gold and iron, but there was no other abnormality.
"Let's attack there together and see if we find anything."
Han Changming ordered, let Amethyst Flying Scorpion step aside.
The six of them sacrificed their magical weapons and attacked the stone wall attacked by the Amethyst Flying Scorpion. An astonishing scene appeared, a group of purple beetles drilled out of the stone wall.
These beetles are crystal clear, each the size of a fingernail, with a pair of small wings, and some green spots on their backs.
"Is this an amethyst worm?"
Han Changxin was slightly taken aback, and recognized the origin of this group of purple beetles.
Amethyst worms feed on metal ore, and they rank ninety-ninth on the list of strange insects in the world. This kind of spirit worm itself does not have much attack power, has a docile personality, and is not highly poisonous.
What surprised Han Changxin was that according to the classics, the amethyst worm was purple in color without any spots, and looked like crystal.
But the group of amethyst worms in front of them did have some green spots on their bodies, which was different from what was recorded in the classics.
Seeing the amethyst worm, the amethyst flying scorpion let out an excited hiss, opened its mouth and sprayed out a large cloud of purple poisonous mist, hitting the amethyst worm.
