() The scenery of the vast mountains in midsummer is still magical, beautiful and full of vitality.
Walking in this mountain forest, Jiang Wen's steps were as leisurely as if he were taking a walk or sightseeing. Although he did not have the power to release his own powerful aura, the monsters living in this mountain forest, no matter how powerful they were, were all powerful.
He has an instinctive reaction to danger, so he immediately hides away before he gets close.
"Boom!"
In less than half an hour, Jiang Wen arrived at his destination, Luoxia Waterfall.
This huge waterfall with a length of dozens of miles was originally a valley of a tributary of the Tongtian River. Later, due to a major earthquake, the valley ruptured and the landscape of the Cangwu Mountains changed, forming the Luoxia Falls that people see now.
.
Without spending much effort, Jiang Wen easily found the underwater cave where the red velvet snake lived. Due to the surge in the river water, the entrance to the cave had long been submerged under several meters of water. If it weren't for Jiang Wen's
The spiritual force field is so powerful that it will definitely take more effort to find it.
The moist cave exuded a musty and rotten smell, and seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. Jiang Wen continued to walk forward and saw the bones of many red-velvet snakes, about a hundred, all of which were underage babies.
snake.
Upon closer inspection, we found that the bones of these red-velvet snakes had been dead for many years. The bones that were originally as white as jade had been soaked in the river water and rotted away.
Although I don’t know what happened here, Jiang Wen guessed that this massacre should be related to the former Dayao royal family. Back then, after the news that he had obtained the millennium Poria grass was leaked, the Dayao royal family sent people to kill the people.
The red velvet thread snakes were killed and occupied this place. Naturally, these young red velvet thread snakes cannot escape the poisonous hands.
Continuing to walk forward until he reached the deepest part of the cave, Jiang Wen saw traces of manual excavation. It seemed that someone wanted to build the cave into a cave. However, the project was only completed halfway through, and tools were scattered around.
From the above, it can be seen that these craftsmen were in a hurry when they evacuated, and they did not even have time to take away their belongings.
The cold pool located in the deepest part of the cave is blocked by huge rocks. It seems that someone can hide the existence of the cold pool and sprinkle soil on these gravels to cover it up. If it hadn't been for Jiang Wen earlier
As long as you know the existence of this cold pool, you will definitely not find anything strange.
The only ones who can do this are the disciples of the Dayao royal family who originally occupied this cave. But if they wanted to do this in the first place, could it be that they had already discovered the secret in this cold pool?
"Hey, that's not right!"
Jiang Wen continued to investigate, and suddenly, an inconspicuous detail caught his attention.
When he first entered the cave, there were large areas of plants similar to fluorescent grass growing on the stone walls around the cave, emitting a hazy white light, making the cave as bright as day. But after he entered this time, he only found
There are a small amount of fluorescent grass growing in the cracks in the surrounding rock walls.
If you look closely, you will see that the rock walls where fluorescent grass originally grew have left a lot of shovel marks. It seems that someone is deliberately clearing these fluorescent grasses to prevent them from continuing to grow in the rock walls.
What makes Jiang Wen even more puzzled is that the shovel marks left on the stone wall are old and new, as if someone comes here regularly for general cleaning. The latest marks were left about three days ago on the rock wall.
On the soil under the wall, there are clearly visible footprints left by the 'weeders'.
Seeing this, Jiang Wen seemed to understand something.
This kind of fluorescent grass is also very picky about the living environment. It can only survive in places close to the cold pool and in places with strong cold spiritual energy. Only by eradicating these fluorescent grass can the secret of the cold pool be concealed.
In addition, the function of these fluorescent grasses is to provide a continuous and stable light source for the cave. After the fluorescent grasses are eradicated, the cave will become dark and dark, and no one will want to stay in such an illusion.
Naturally, there was no intention to carefully explore this worthless cave, let alone the cold pool blocked by huge rocks.
Everything revolves around the cold pool. Now Jiang Wen can say with certainty that there must be some unexpected secrets hidden in this cold pool.
"Since the entrance to the cold pool is blocked by a huge stone, it means that the secret is hidden under the cold pool!" After thinking backwards, Jiang Wen immediately found the clue. He first carefully opened the cold pool.
The boulder above moved away, and then the spiritual force field was released, slowly invading the bottom of the cold pool.
As a person with spiritual powers, his current spiritual power has reached the level of a ninth-level spiritual master. After the spiritual force field is released, it can cover an area of 10,000 meters in radius. In terms of spiritual power alone,
, he has reached the level of a powerful person in the Dharma Realm.
Ten meters, twenty meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters...
Jiang Wen's mental force field dropped to a depth of 150 meters underground, and finally made a discovery.
At some point, a huge cave was dug out of the underground area that was originally covered by rocks and soil. Tunnels extending in all directions extended along the stone walls around the cave, making the underground structure look like a maze.
Hundreds of miners, like hard-working ants, quickly moved in and out of caves and tunnels. Each of them carried a bamboo basket filled with ore with a metallic luster. Jiang Wen tried to use
Using his spiritual power to examine the composition of those ores, he unexpectedly sensed strong fluctuations of cold-type spiritual energy.
Suddenly, Jiang Wen was shocked: "The contents in these bamboo baskets are actually cold iron ore!"
Ordinary iron ore can only be used to make fine iron and is of low value. However, these cold iron ores, after being refined by the real fire of Baodan realm masters, become precious cold iron that can be used to refine magical weapons.
The price per kilogram is more than a hundred low-grade spiritual stones. If a vein of cold iron ore can be found, the net profit from mining the ore every year can reach tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones.
Jiang Wen never thought that underneath the cold pool he found unexpectedly was a huge vein of cold iron ore. No wonder the water flowing out of the cold pool was so cold to the bone.
Looking at the baskets of cold iron ore being transported out, Jiang Wen's face turned cold.
Especially when he thought that the disciples of the Jiang family in the Imperial City of Dajiang were complacent about the Earth Fire Spiritual Vein that could only produce a hundred spiritual stones every year, but they used this spiritual vein that originally belonged to them and was worth millions of spiritual stones.
The cold iron veins were handed over to others, and Jiang Wen immediately felt an inexplicable jealousy burning in his heart.
Even the headmaster of Haoyang Palace would covet the cold iron veins worth millions of spiritual stones. Jiang Wen naturally would not let go of this little thief who stole his treasure. He gritted his teeth and said: "No matter who you are, how dare you
I want you to vomit out all the things that have swallowed up my Jiang family!"
Without hesitation, Jiang Wen immediately released all his spiritual force field to explore the entire cold iron vein.
The scale of this cold iron ore vein was far beyond his expectation. Centered on the cold pool under his feet, there were actually cold iron ore veins distributed within a radius of hundreds of miles. In other words, the entire area was covered with cold iron ore veins.
Luoxia Waterfall is actually built on a huge cold iron vein.
While exploring the cold iron veins, Jiang Wen also followed the clues and followed the tunnels dug by the miners, and finally found the home base of these miners.
It was a hidden valley located dozens of miles away from the Luoxia Waterfall. The valley had been transformed into a small fortress. Various fortifications and formation restrictions were in place and powerful enough to withstand the powerful infant transformation realm.
There are hundreds of guards patrolling around the fortress day and night. Any warrior or monster approaching the valley will be captured alive or killed by them.
The monsters that were culled naturally became the food for them to sacrifice, and the warriors that were captured alive were of course thrown into the cold iron ore veins to work as miners who cut mountains and stones. Because the Cangwu Mountains are originally full of huge amounts of energy.
Every year, warriors who enter the mountains to hunt monsters will most likely die at the mouths of monsters. Therefore, the disappearance of these people has not attracted any attention, so this valley has never been discovered by outsiders.
"Good guy, there are actually three warriors from the Gangyuan Realm stationed in this valley, which is quite a big deal!"
Jiang Wen glanced around with his mental force field and immediately understood the layout of the entire fortress. There were thousands of warriors in the entire fortress. Except for hundreds of guards wearing exquisite armor, the rest were
The miners captured by them and the leaders of the three guards were all in the Gangyuan realm. They also had several subordinates in the Baodan realm. With such strength, even in the Dayao Dynasty, they were considered to be the leading powerful force.
Already.
What surprised Jiang Wen even more was that among the three guard leaders, he actually saw an acquaintance who had escaped from the siege of the Jiang family and the Lingyun Sect on the day of the collapse of the Dayao royal family ten years ago.
One of the more than ten Dayao royal family members who went out to worship.
Although Jiang Wen did not recognize the two Gangyuan realm warriors beside him, the auras on their bodies were very familiar to Jiang Wen. They were actually barbarian monks.
At that time, the plan of the barbarian wizard failed. Six of the nine barbarian ancestral spirits summoned from the fairy world were lost, one was captured, and two were missing. At the same time, as the Haoyang Palace opened the Haoyang Xuantian Formation,
, the barbarians who invaded Haoyang Realm from the void passage
The tribe's army also suffered a tragic defeat. A large number of barbarian monks were slaughtered like animals. A small number of barbarian soldiers, escorted by powerful barbarian monks, fled in all directions and hid in every corner of Haoyang Realm.
.
Even Jiang Wen could not have imagined that the remnants of the Dayao royal family would secretly collude with the remnants of the barbarian tribe.
If it hadn't been for his hard work to explore the secrets in the cold pool, I'm afraid they still wouldn't have been able to discover the secret. Otherwise, in a few decades, they would slowly use the cold iron mined from the cold iron veins.
Growing stronger and cultivating more masters will definitely pose a great threat to the Dajiang Dynasty.
