The tree cave is actually the entrance to an alexandrite mine. Along the tunnel, it is surrounded by crystals that glow with purple light.

There are many forks and twists and turns inside, and various sensory skills are of little use here. All Liu Xiao can do is follow Wukong closely, and he will go wherever he goes.

Lord Li Xuan's sense of smell was extremely powerful. Liu Xiao's five senses thought they had reached the limit of human beings, but compared with the ferocious beasts, they were simply unsightly.

Wukong rushed forward at full speed and was absolutely crushed by him.

Soon they entered a relatively empty cave. There were more than a dozen snakes inside without saying a word, not even making any false demonstrations. They immediately fled in all directions, but just like that, Wukong was still thrown towards the tunnel on one side.

Block half of it.

I don't see any fancy movements, just a slap on the left, a slap on the right ear, a sweep of the tail, and a few small jumps in succession.

No more, the seven-headed lin snake simply threw itself into the street.

Wukong was about to rush into the tunnel on the other side, but was stopped by Liu Xiao.

He came here to collect materials, not just to clean up the snake's nest. Didn't you hear Chou Feng said that these snakes also have good things, and there are some things here that require his attention.

It was a nest of snake eggs, about a dozen of them. Each one was about the same size as a ripe grapefruit. This thing should be quite valuable, but unfortunately, Liu Xiao couldn't take it with him because it was a bit big and couldn't

Stuff the defective items.

In addition, there are distinctive purple crystals inside the nest where the snake gall is placed.

It's not alexandrite, there's a light layer of frost mist surrounding it, and the temperature is obviously much lower than the surroundings.

This should be Purple Frost Jade, the associated mineral crystal of alexandrite. This thing is much more valuable than the crappy jade crystal on the street.

Liu Xiao hesitated for a moment and then took out Tu Xiao.

Although it doesn't go well with you, I can only feel sorry for you.

I knocked it with the tip of my sword. Fortunately, Zi Shuang Fei was not as hard as I thought, and it broke completely after two more pokes.

It seems that I will have to bring a pickaxe or something next time. After all, when walking outside, various professional props are indispensable, otherwise it will be too difficult to kill the owl. It is a sword, not an engineer shovel. I used it to cut grass just now, and now I will pry the mines.

Akira also uses it.

That's too much!

Peel off the purple frost emeralds one by one and pack them into the defective products.

After that, Liu Xiao used to go to the corpses of the snakes, pulled out a few snake scales, took the cold hands, broke them with both hands, and stiffened them. He stabbed the sword with the butcher owl and pierced it, but from the feedback

In terms of strength, this snake scale does have considerable protective power and is a good material for making scale armor.

He turned around and looked at the dozen snake eggs, and then at the three raccoon dogs who had nothing to do.

With a wave of his hand, Wukong rushed into the tunnel instantly.

Wu Neng and Wu Jing were guarding the entrances of the two tunnels on the left and right respectively.

Cut off one of the snake's hind legs with one sword, hold it in his hand, and hold up a snake egg with the other hand.

The flame ignited in the palm of his hand, and soon the scent of meat floated in the empty cave.

First I took a bite of the snake meat, which had become charred on the outside and tender on the inside under the flames. The meat was delicious and slightly fishy. I could add some seasonings later, but unfortunately, my physical strength was not improved.

I cracked the eggshells and tasted the steamed snake eggs. No soy sauce or MSG was added, and it just had a pure egg flavor. After entering the stomach, it seemed to have a refreshing feeling, which was quite comfortable. Not to mention, this stuff might be used to make medicine.

Or, just take it away.

Anyway, the larvae packed into the defective products are definitely dead. While the space container is still relatively empty, just put in as much as you can.

But what to do with this Lin Snake?

Liu Xiao remembered that snake scales and teeth were valuable, but Chou Feng and the others didn't say anything about the other parts. Didn't everyone on earth say that snake gallbladder is good? Isn't this not popular here?

Also, how to do the molting?

After looking at the two big cats, I saw that they were okay with killing and setting fire, but they definitely couldn't create such a detailed living blood corpse.

Liu Xiao had no choice but to do it himself, clumsily peeling off the snake scales from the corpse. The snake's teeth were most likely poisonous, so he didn't dare to go directly to the snake's head, so he simply chopped off the snake's head and stuffed it into the defective product.

After three strokes, five divisions and two divisions, the body of the seven-headed snake was finally finished. On the ground there were only pools of indigo blood and white snake meat.

Two raccoon dogs, one in front and one behind, moved toward the depths of the tunnel.

Not long after, there was another cave with a smaller space, and six snakes were lying in it. With the experience just now, Liu Xiao processed the corpses much faster, skinning them, beheading them, and leaving.

Going deeper into the mine, we passed several caves and picked up some corpses of snakes scattered along the way. Wukong handled them very cleanly, leaving almost no one alive.

Just like this, Liu Xiao finally entered the bottom floor of the mine with two raccoon dogs, which was the last and largest space in the entire mine.

It was the size of three basketball courts, and dozens of snake corpses were lying on the ground, including the extremely large one.

In addition, there are also a mountain of beast carcasses and skeletons, a large number of purple frost emeralds, and dozens of snake eggs.

On the pile of corpses, Liu Xiao also saw human remains, and there were more than one. It was unknown which family the unlucky guy was dragged into the cave by these four-legged snakes.

Eh? Could it be that they are all here for the companion thunder cane?

According to this theory, these snakes are not actually guarding this vine, but are using it to attract various prey?

It seems, seems, maybe, that is really the case.

Liu Xiao jumped up to the hill of bones piled on one side. The three human corpses were not on the top level, which meant that they had been invited here for a while. Their limbs were missing. Lin She should think that human limbs are more delicious. First of all,

Eat it, good guys, these guys have similar preferences to us humans.

He wiped off the blood stains on his clothes and revealed a badge. The pattern on it was something Liu Xiao had never seen before. He looked at the other two and saw the same thing. It seemed that these three might be a team.

Two men and one woman, don’t ask how to tell whether the body is a man or a woman, the head is still there!

Without their limbs, even if these three people had space containers, they would most likely have entered the snake's belly. Liu Xiao didn't want to disembowel the four-legged snakes in the family one by one, and they might have excreted them long ago.

However, the leather bags pinned to their belts are still there, and they look bulging.

Opening them one by one, they were all filled with herbs. In addition to the ones of average value, there were also a lot of sleeping grass and a piece of thunder wisteria.

Okay, the case has been solved. These three people probably coveted the hundred-meter-long vines outside the cave and ended up dead.

No matter if you don't bring it with you in life or take it with you in death, I will happily accept your legacy.

In addition to materials and herbs, there are also some potions, skill scrolls and items. The scrolls are all marked, which is okay, but Liu Xiao has no idea what the purpose of these strange-shaped items is. Anyway, he will take them all first.

The equipment on these three mercenaries is all commercially available, and they definitely don't have any weapons. It's useless for Lin She to ask for those things.

However, Liu Xiao dug out a scroll of animal skin from the leather armor of one of the corpses.

Fully unfolded, it is a map of part of the Purple Forest.

It is densely marked with a large number of symbols. It is not very complicated and can basically be understood by an individual.

The route they had taken, the location of the merchant camp, where they found Sleeping Grass, and the creek that divided the outer area were all recorded.

It seems that the team these three people belong to is a branch of this war group. There are five groups like them, among which the main team is heading deep into the fierce forest, which is the direction of Zicui Mountain.

What made Liu Xiao a little concerned was that although the map only showed the Purple Forest and Purple Mountain, there was also an eagle head and an oval ball drawn in the blank space behind the mountain. He didn't know what they meant.

No matter what, I feel that this map is quite valuable.

Liu Xiao turned his head, glanced at the corpses on the ground, and sighed.

I lament the difficulty of being a mercenary. Not only may you encounter danger at any time, but you also have to do some crafty work of peeling skin and cramping.
