Chapter 120 The Black Dragon Is Born

Thousands of years ago, before the meteorite landed.

In the center of the island where the Blue Taro Kingdom is located, there is a huge mountain range that occupies 1/10 of the island.

After the meteorite fell, the mountain range was shattered and turned into the current Chaos Star Rock.

In the distant colonial company era, Chaos Star Rock was the largest mineral production area on the entire island.

There are barbaric and brutal indigenous tribes here, and the mysterious Black Death Prison was born.

It can be said that Chaos Star Rock has always dominated the rise and fall of the entire island.

Even now that the Black Death Prison has disappeared, it is still the same.

Because the huge mineral reserve newly discovered by the Blue Taro Kingdom is the former Black Death Prison.

Think about it, this is normal. If it weren't for the fierce power of the Black Death Prison, which made those mining giants extremely afraid, how could they not be tempted by such a piece of fat?

For those mining giants, how could they bear to leave without digging up all the rare minerals on this island?

After Gutaf ascended the throne, the Black Death Prison mysteriously disappeared.

A huge amount of rare minerals were exposed to the world again, supporting half of the export trade of Blue Taro Country.

Correspondingly, this originally desolate and abandoned land was filled with people again.

In just a few decades, the surrounding towns rose from the ground and turned into cities with a population of millions.

A small urban cluster was born around Chaos Star Rock.

······

"I didn't expect it to be hidden here."

"Looking at the direction of the pointer, it seems that we have to go deep into the mountains."

In a small town around Chaos Star Rock, Chen Qi slowly stopped the car.

I am used to driving a magnetic levitation sports car, and I am really not used to this snail-like speed.

But necessary caution is still necessary. God knows whether the news that I am responsible for the blood salt case has been leaked?

My magnetic levitation sports car really reveals my whereabouts and identity.

Seeing that the case is about to be solved, I can't fail at the most important link.

The reason for stopping at this time is that the terrain environment ahead is relatively chaotic and is no longer suitable for ordinary vehicles to pass.

Chen Qi was too lazy to find another off-road vehicle. For him, walking was more convenient and faster.

Then Chen Qi stopped taking detours and went straight in the direction of the pointer. He just slightly quickened his pace and reached 30 meters per second.

This shocking speed in the eyes of ordinary people was really just Chen Qi taking a leisurely walk. He even had time to look at the surrounding scenery.

······

The landform of Luanxing Rock is indeed quite special, with dense gullies and faults everywhere.

The most special thing is that the magnetic field here is extremely chaotic.

If ordinary people are not familiar with the environment here, they will accidentally encounter a "ghost wall" and completely lose their way.

But these problems really have no effect on Chen Qi.

Originally, Chen Qi was worried that such a special landform would affect the locking of the compass, but the facts proved that he underestimated the geomancer after all.

There was no problem with the locking of the compass, and even a slight deflection did not occur.

The Chaos Star Rock, which is an extremely complex environment in the eyes of ordinary people and even extraordinary people, is really just a small puddle of water in the eyes of the knowledgeable geomancer. The shoes are wet because of his carelessness.

······

"Is that the former Black Death Prison?"

"Now it is really booming business!"

After climbing over a mountain, Chen Qi saw a densely packed industrial area.

Surrounding a black mountain, mining, smelting, non-ferrous metal processing, and many mining companies gathered here have even formed a small city in the mountain.

After knowing the mystery of the Black Death Prison, Chen Qi once thought about visiting this legendary prison where King Gutaf was imprisoned.

After some inquiries, he learned that this place had long become a mining area, and the huge mountain at the beginning was directly blown down.

This is really cleaned up, leaving no trace.

Unexpectedly, fate played a trick on him, and he actually came here today.

"Hide in the small town below?"

"Interesting, you really know how to choose a place."

Chen Qi gathered his own strength, turned into an ordinary person, and walked towards the small town below.

······

The history of Black Iron City is only 40 years, and almost all citizens are foreign miners.

The reason for this is that it is only 10 miles away from the former Black Death Prison.

Before the Black Death Prison disappeared, no one dared to approach it within a hundred miles except those unlucky death row prisoners.

Even those natives who survived by chance did not dare to approach this sacred mountain that they once had.

So this place was really uninhabited until the mountain collapsed.

There are two completely different rumors about the collapse of the giant black mountain, or the disappearance of the Black Death Prison.

One is naturally that the kingdom's army took action and directly used explosives to open the way in order to obtain mineral resources.

The second statement is full of mystery. On the day the king ascended the throne, a terrifying black dragon flew out of the Black Death Prison in the mountains.

The terrifying black dragon tore the mountain apart, thus exposing a vast amount of mineral resources.

For these two completely different rumors, the residents of the small town, where most of the miners live, naturally believe the first one.

The second rumor was made up by those sycophants to flatter the king.

······

“Ding-dong, ding-dong!”

The only elementary school in Black Iron City rang the bell for the end of get out of class.

Hammond, 30, finished his teaching for the day and headed for home.

His home is located at the northernmost part of the city, which is close to the edge of the city.

It is definitely a suburb in the suburbs, and you can see the hillside outside.

But because of this, the land is cheap enough, allowing him to buy a secluded courtyard with his meager salary.

Although there are no neighbors within a few hundred meters, it has no effect on him who lives alone.

As usual, Hammond opened the gate.

However, the moment he stepped into the gate, his body suddenly froze.

"Strange, how did you find it?"

"Although I didn't find any mechanism on the gate, I jumped over the wall to enter your house for safety reasons."

"As an ordinary person, you should not have discovered my intrusion."

"Aren't you an ordinary person?"

A stranger's voice came from Hammond's room.

Hammond's face changed several times, but in the end he walked into the yard as usual.

"Who are you?"

"Why did you break into my house?"

After opening the door, Hammond saw a blond man on his familiar workbench.

But he was surprisingly calm and composed, without any sense of panic.

"Hammond, professional [scholar], suspected to be a senior apprentice."

"He has been in and out of the Blue Taro Kingdom three times in 10 years, and is now teaching in a primary school in Black Iron City."

"This is all the information I have found about you."

"So can you satisfy my curiosity? Will scholars not be affected by the King's Game?"

The blond man who appeared in Hammond's room was naturally Chen Qi.

Now he is wearing the vest of [Jormoya Chris].

As for Hammond, of course, he is the real murderer behind the blood salt case.

"Humph, since you know my identity as a scholar, you should know that spiritual influence is useless to us scholars."

"Although the devil game is extremely powerful, as long as we don't live here all the time, we will not be affected by it."

"You should be a player, why are you looking for me?"

Even if the other party's identity is likely to be a player of the devil game, Hammond is still fearless.

If he hadn't known what he did secretly, Chen Qi would have really thought that this guy was a man of steel.

"Why did I find you? You should know it clearly."

"You made the blood salt, right?"

"As for the evidence, the fact that I can find you already explains a lot."

Chen Qi picked up a small black stone from the workbench and played with it.

Under his meaningful gaze, Hammond's face finally couldn't hold back.

"How is it possible?"

"How do you know that there is something wrong with that stone?"

There were many small stones on Hammond's workbench, which seemed to be collected out of interest.

The one in Chen Qi's hand was very inconspicuous.

But Hammond's reaction said it all.

······

"Is this the remains of the mountain god?"

"You are a talented guy. You actually thought of using human brain cells to feed those magnetic field life."

"But what's the purpose?"

"You are destined to be a scholar, so you are not a fool."

"Even if you feed these mountain god cells white and fat, what can you do? I don't believe you are trying to revive the mountain god."

"Because it's impossible."

Chen Qi tossed the small stone in his hand. After knowing the truth about blood salt, Chen Qi is now fearless.

It's because these field lives are too weak. Even if he doesn't use spirituality, Chen Qi can use the life magnetic field to wipe them out.

These guys can only bully ordinary people, and they invade unknowingly and destroy from the inside.

"Humph, you can find this place because of the geomancer's compass, right?"

"How did this thing appear in your hand?"

"Shouldn't it be in the hands of Spade A?"

Hammond's face was very ugly. After seeing the compass hanging around Chen Qi's waist, he knew that he was exposed.

Could it be that Ace of Spades wants to get rid of me?

That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that their plan is about to succeed and they are planning to eliminate all hidden dangers?

Thinking of this, Hammond decided to "convince people with reason".

"I don't know if Ace of Spades has told you about the specialness of our scholars. You will be in big trouble if you kill me."

"I advise you not to interfere in our affairs!"

Hammond became fearless again. He firmly believed that he could convince the other party.

"So that guy's card is Ace of Spades!"

"Thank you for telling me this information!"

"In that case, I will tell the truth. I am not familiar with that guy, and he did not send you to kill you."

"You can only blame your bad luck. It happens that I am in charge of the blood salt case!"

"As for this compass, it is mine now!"

Chen Qi did not expect to learn the card of the original owner of the compass from Hammond.

Knowing that the guy's card is Ace of Spades, Chen Qi believes that he can find out his true identity as long as he asks a little bit.

But public is public, private is private, and he can't let Hammond go for this reason.

"You are not sent by Spade Ace, it seems that my luck is really bad."

"But your luck may not be better than mine."

"It's impossible for me to be caught alive by you. You came at the right time. I won't live long anyway."

After listening to Chen Qi's story, Hammond began to murmur, and his expression became weird.

Chen Qi frowned. Hammond really didn't lie. This guy's life magnetic field is comparable to that of an old man in his eighties or nineties. He really won't live long.

"I know all the information about you scholars. It is rumored that there will be a lot of trouble after death."

"So I didn't plan to kill you at all. I just caught you to do the job."

"Why don't you cooperate with me!"

Chen Qi persuaded him kindly, although he was very confident that he would not capsize in the ditch.

But wouldn't it be better to complete the task smoothly?

"Impossible. If you take me back to the Orderly Headquarters, Spade Ace will definitely kill me."

"They didn't dare to touch me before because they had learned from past experience and knew that [Scholars] were troublesome."

"But now it's different. I have a piece of the remains of the mountain god in my hand. Once this matter is exposed, they will definitely not tolerate me."

"After all, killing me is just a little troublesome and will make them pay some price."

"But after knowing that I might threaten their plan, they will definitely kill me."

"Fortunately, I had expected this a long time ago and didn't plan to live."

"[Scholars], what a sad profession, with infinite knowledge, but living worse than ordinary people."

Hammond became more and more emotional as he spoke, and even looked sad and angry at the end.

Obviously, the life of a scholar is not so happy.

······

"What a trouble!"

"This guy revealed a lot of information in his words!"

"I just want to investigate a case, but I don't intend to ruin other people's shitty plans!"

Chen Qi looked at Hammond with a serious expression. It seems that this guy has long been dissatisfied with being a scholar, and he wants to die.

But the death of a [scholar] is not a simple and complete extinction.

This guy Hammond must be planning something.

Otherwise, he can just commit suicide directly, why bother to raise mountain god cells.

After carefully examining Hasmond's physical condition, Chen Qi had an incredible guess in his heart.

No way, Hammond wouldn't be so crazy, right?

In the end, Chen Qi couldn't bear his curiosity, so he asked the question.

"You also took blood salt?"
