Half an hour later, an army consisting of two figures carrying a sledgehammer and a craft box crossed the farmland. The nightingales and bugs who lived in the darkness were all driven off a quiet road and fled in disarray.
Gone far away.
Even though the cold wind was blowing around him, it was not enough to make his strong and burly body. The naked hammer shrank his body. He looked around and asked doubtfully: "Old Xu, have you ever felt these things?
Lost your head?"
"Yes! Indeed, if it is said that the animals fled away from instinct, it would be too sensitive. Especially in this peaceful land of farmers, this phenomenon is even more confusing and makes people start to feel uneasy."
"Let me tell you, I should have called a farmer's disciple to lead the way before, but now it's better. I walked on a messy path, or it may not be a road at all. The ground is full of thorns, and it is really difficult to walk in the pitch-black night.
, I asked you, are you taking the wrong path?" The big hammer swept forward with force and complained at the same time.
"Although I am old, I have not yet reached the point where my old eyes are full of flowers. I will never forget what Mr. Mang Zhong said in detail. I may have chosen the wrong road, but the direction will never be wrong." Although Master Xu spoke in a calm tone, he could
His heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he could no longer hold back his desire and restlessness. But even so, he could not force the hammer to speed up and clear the way in this kind of weather.
After walking out of the thorns and entering the dense forest, the sky became dark again, and the west wind was still blowing high above the trees. But within the fence of the dark forest, the air was almost completely stagnant, and the surrounding area was cold, but it made people breathless.
Sledgehammer looked around and saw that all the surrounding terrain was monotonous and lifeless, but it made him uncontrollably worried about whether someone was watching them in a corner. He would even raise his head to see if there was anything hanging above.
Corpses, after all, the weather is cold and the night is dark and windy. Such things are not unheard of in the Mojia dense forest.
After a while, if they turned around behind the footsteps they walked, they would see a pair of wild eyes, quietly hiding behind the tree trunks and watching them.
At this time, Master Xu reminded: "Don't be suspicious, we have wasted too much time, we need to hurry up."
"Wait a minute, something is following us." Sledgehammer vaguely felt an impending crisis. His eyes suddenly became uncertain, and layers of defense developed in his heart.
"What is it, the enemy?" After hearing Big Iron Hammer's words, Master Xu secretly clenched his fingers, fear growing in his heart.
"I don't know. In short, if a fight breaks out and the terrain is not good for us, hurry up and run out of the forest."
The two people moved anxiously and quickly, ignoring the obstruction of vegetation and moving forward quickly. Then there was a buzzing sound around them. It seemed that from the moment they sensed danger and ran away, the things that were spying on them behind them also started to chase them, but they couldn't see what they were.
You can tell by the vigorous movement that it is a huge beast.
Master Xu is old, and his physical strength is not as strong as a big hammer. His heart is beating suddenly, as if he is about to leave his heart.
"Old Xu, don't stop." The big hammer took care of him while trying his best to open an unobstructed road ahead. "The edge of the forest is ahead, just run out."
The thing behind them was about to approach them, but suddenly there was no movement.
The two of them walked out of the forest at the fastest pace, breathing heavily.
"What's going on? Didn't we catch up?" Big Iron Hammer looked back. Although he felt that the crisis had not caught up, he could not take it lightly.
Master Xu finally saw the place he was most looking forward to. Through the desolate starlight and moonlight, the gloomy volcano in the dim light stood in the southeast with a chilling momentum. A large amount of thick smoke rose from the top of the mountain, blown by the strong wind.
It drifted high into the east, and from its mountain sides rose thick black clouds, covering the whole land; a few miles to the northeast were the Ash Mountains, which looked as lifeless as gloomy gray ghosts; to the north
There are low-hanging dark clouds on the horizon, which are not obvious compared with the desolation on the ground.
"Such a sight!" Big Iron Hammer stared at the black smoky volcano and muttered: "It feels like a fire that has been held in for too long. Finally, it can't be held in anymore and is about to explode." He
He shook his head and looked up again, but the sense of foreseeable crisis accumulated in his heart again, "Uh! Now, should we consider it?"
"Then we'd better hope that this place will be a normal phenomenon all day long." Master Xu interrupted him and said seriously: "If unfortunately, as you said, we are full of anger, then the only thing we can do is
Pray that it can be held in for a little longer, we must hurry up." Master Xu obviously recognized this bitter fact, but even in the most optimistic state of expectation, he was still worried about whether he could achieve his goal.
Sledgehammer hesitated for a moment, then quickly chased after him. After all, he had to be responsible for Master Xu's safety. With a stronger sense of responsibility, he focused his eyes back on his eyes and headed towards the crater.
As the fiery light gradually intensified, they were surprised to see that the hillside was covered with gravel, with large and small potholes, and many cracks extending from the middle. It was not difficult to imagine that countless gravel had fallen all over the place before.
The ground is covered, and it is uneven everywhere.
The two of them kept climbing around the pit, without a trace of life around them. All they could feel was that the entire volcano was shrouded in a tense atmosphere of impending rain: because they were getting too close, their touch became more and more obvious.
The scorching fire lotus grows rapidly at the entrance of Jianzhong Valley, ready to bloom gorgeously at any time.
"We're almost there," Xu Fuzi said. The road continued to climb. Soon, he turned east again, bent his back, panting violently, and walked around the top of the volcanic cone toward the dark side of the mountain.
The gate is the entrance to the Farmer's Sword Tomb.
A stream of energetic hot air continuously gushes out from inside, passing through all smoke and obstacles, emitting a dark red light; but the stone walls around the volcano are still lifeless, as if they are waiting with bated breath for action.
Master Xu ran across a stone path and looked ahead panting. Only then did he realize that he was in a tunnel in a volcanic cone. There were many fissures not far ahead, which was also the source of the red light. It was dazzling.
The red light sometimes shines brightly, sometimes dimly retreating into the darkness; at the same time, the cave is filled with the sound of boiling water, the surrounding area is red and hot, and there is a dull sound of the rock walls shaking and rubbing.
"Zhijing White Ore! It really is Zhijing White Ore!" Xu Fuzi suddenly shouted in surprise, and stared blankly at the direction of the lava river sloping down. Underneath countless scrap swords, there was indeed a white substance all over his body.
The soft and lustrous ore is so soft that other metals cannot form, but it is still like an exquisite and clear relief, inlaid on the edge of a tough cliff. Xu Fuzi recognized it immediately. That kind of ore is the hardest mineral in the scorching volcano.
It is something that can only be diluted by roasting for years. When the farmer and the mango tree mentioned it at that time, he just guessed that it should be this thing. Although he had only heard of it before, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he was absolutely convinced that it was something that could only be found in legends.
Only the scorching white ore in it can emit such peaceful white light, emitting light enough to penetrate the darkness. It is like the core of the entire volcano. All other dim stones must bow their heads and give way, making people lose their minds at a glance.
Shocking.
"It is indeed a supreme treasure that can be encountered but cannot be sought," he whispered in astonishment, his eyes trembling slightly.
Big Iron Hammer patrolled around uneasily. At first, the various sounds were relatively clear-cut, but gradually, he began to hear some restless trembling brewing. Looking at Master Xu's unusually focused eyes, he knew that Xu Xu's eyes were extremely focused.
It was impossible for the Master to look back. Well, if this was really Lao Xu's mission, he had to help him complete it. He said: "The most urgent thing is to take this thing out of the hot lava."
Master Xu immediately untied the box, took out the iron chain and handed it to the big hammer. After swinging the big hammer a few times, he threw it out and set it on the crystal white ore without any bias. When he was exerting force,
Not far away, suddenly a red light rushed upward and hit the roof of the cave. A huge torrent suddenly emerged from the crack in the ground, tilted straight over, and quickly occupied the area where the Zhijing White Mine was located.
At the critical moment, the sledge hammer struggled to pull out the iron bolt. Unexpectedly, the red-hot iron bolt had melted and the desired piece was not taken out.
