It is not safe to rely solely on Wu Xiaodao or Feng He goddess, so Bai Ziqi chose a two-pronged approach, working together on both sides.
Not long after, Bai Qiqi brought back good news:
The silver pearl fruit that was cut down with its branches greatly increased its glowing time, actually exceeding half an hour!
Half an hour is more than enough time for the ground troops to walk from Diandai Lake to the shore of Yaozi Lake.
This news made Bai Ziqi feel much more at ease.
After solving this problem, as the commander of the entire army, he still had to take care of Banqiu and the mining area.
He said to Bai Shiqi: "Ask Zhaoyoushen about the progress of the mine."
…
The entrance to the Ling Mine.
A fire snake swam out from the ground, glowing red, but as soon as it came into contact with the tongue letter spitted out by Master Jieshui, it suddenly turned into flying smoke.
"There are some restrictions and traps in the mine, all of which have been cleared by my fire snake." It said lazily, "No one was seen."
Otherwise, they will be burned together.
The dwarf asked it: "Are you sure?"
"I've been back and forth several times, how can I be sure?" Master Jieshui didn't even give it a look, "Why don't you go and take a look in person?"
The dwarf ignored it and took out an earthy yellow one from his arms——
The eyeball spider on a nearby branch wiped its eyes. Was it a coconut-shaped round can that this guy took out?
Dong Rui muttered: "Are they going to fill the cave with water?"
"It's useless." Luo Xie said as soon as he heard it, "The bottom of the cave leads directly to the underground river, and the water poured in will flow into the underground river and flow away."
Then the short man opened the lid of the jar, pressed the jar on his hand, and poured out a beige squirrel.
Its tail is fluffy and has dark brown stripes, and its ears are pointed and large, and can rotate in different directions.
The little squirrel also wore a dark green necklace around its neck. The Eyeball Spider discovered that the pendant was an emerald the size of a soybean, and there seemed to be a faintly glowing rune inside.
Aunt Zhu immediately told the other two onlookers that this necklace is a seal, or in other words, a prison.
The dwarf ordered the squirrel: "There are black crystals in this mine. Dig them out. The more the better, and the faster the better!"
Instead, the squirrel stretched out its two front paws towards him.
He Lingchuan often feeds monkeys, and you can tell at a glance that this action is asking for something.
The dwarf took out three light red black crystals the size of duck eggs and gave them to it: "Don't be lazy, or you will suffer."
The squirrel took the Xuan Jing, opened his mouth and swallowed it.
Its mouth was only so big, and no one could tell how it swallowed the huge black crystals, but it didn't even puff up its cheeks. After eating three of them, it wiped its mouth and beard with its front paws, still not satisfied.
But after getting the benefits, you have to work. The little squirrel raised its upper body and stretched out its two front paws to touch its belly. Only then did the eyeball spider discover that there was a pocket hidden in its belly.
The squirrel took out small brown-yellow soil balls from his pocket and threw them randomly on the ground at a dizzying speed. In the later stage, it could throw more than a dozen soil balls in one hand.
At first glance, these soil balls looked like walnuts. After they landed on the ground, they rolled twice, suddenly cracked, and suddenly expanded in size, turning into bugs as big as domestic dogs!
Its brain case is like a crayfish, but the back half of its body is like an ant, with long whiskers on the front and back, long and powerful legs, and its color is also earthy.
Dong Rui could tell at a glance that these were mole crickets, commonly known as "country dog children", but these big guys in front of him also had thick and powerful, shovel-like forelimbs, and they looked like little experts at digging in the ground.
The squirrel very humanely pointed to the entrance of the mine, and the mole crickets swarmed in.
They enter the mines in groups and stop when they encounter black crystals. They use their front paws to dig out the rocks and dig out the black crystals. Their movements are very skillful. Stones that are stronger than fine steel are like soft cakes in front of them.
Elder Liu summoned the Haoyuan Golden Mirror, and everyone looked at the mirror. The little squirrel was still rubbing out new mole crickets and throwing them into the mine as a coolie for mining.
Aunt Zhu suddenly said: "This is the essence of the earth!"
Dong Rui: "Which one?"
Elder Liu pointed to the little squirrel in the mirror: "This."
Dong Rui was surprised: "The spirit of earth has hair?"
In fact, He Lingchuan is no stranger to the essence of earth. The master demon puppet Ashmona created by the owner of the Red House was made from the essence of earth mixed with divine blood and divine bones. He Lingchuan also entered the essence of earth when he went to Baimao Mountain to get the black dragon scales.
The secret gate of the White Bear Demon Crypt.
"The appearance is just an appearance. These landscape elves can choose on their own. Generally speaking, the more their images resemble this kind of animal, it means that their Taoism is higher. This one has been raised very big; the previous one of the Immortal Lord
There is also a water essence in the cave, which is transformed into
The image of the giant salamander." Elder Liu looked solemn, "I didn't expect that the Heavenly Palace would let the earth spirit dig up the mysterious crystal, which would be troublesome. Fortunately, Miao Zhantian has not been able to unlock the 'escape spell' of the Immortal Lord, otherwise this earth
The speed at which the essence can dig out the mysterious crystals can be several times faster."
As long as the "Escape Technique Forbidden" is still in effect, the earth spirits in the Heavenly Palace will have to dig out the mysterious crystals steadily. At most, they will send crickets to imitate human hands to dig. But once the lighthouse barrier covers this place, the "Escape Technique Forbidden" can be unlocked again.
, it can even turn the rocks next to the Xuanjing into stone figures, hold up the Xuanjing and hand it over, or it can forcefully squeeze the mine tunnel and crush the enemies inside into pulp.
"Our opponent is not this gadget." He Lingchuan said to everyone, "We can't let those guys stay comfortably at the entrance of the cave to watch the show, we have to trap them."
The earth spirit is not their target, the two powerful ones are.
He Lingchuan's goal was to defeat them all, but now he had to deceive at least one of them.
The crickets in that box lined up to carry out the harvested Xuan Jing, but they were all inconspicuous. The dwarf grabbed a piece of Xuan Jing the size of a quail egg, smashed it on the squirrel's head, and said displeasedly: "It's too small.
, send your soil puppets deep into the cave to pick the big ones!"
All the black crystals near the entrance of the cave have been harvested by the Yucun people. The new ones that grow are in the state of clusters and are not worth digging.
They were also anxious. Miao Zhantian was urging them hard. If they didn't dig back quickly, the Tiangong team would not be able to build a new lighthouse barrier.
The squirrel held its head and glanced sideways at him, hissing twice, and the cricket entered the mine faster.
Master Jieshui and Dwarf Immortal looked around, alert to possible dangers.
Although Miao Zhantian's candle is lit, what is the probability that Huanzong will find out that they have seized the mine?
A conservative estimate would be 80%.
So they have set up a series of formations outside the cave.
The army of earth crickets went deeper and deeper into the mine, and soon they were twenty feet underground. At this depth, the air was very thin, and the black crystals in the rock layers were getting bigger and bigger.
There are more than 400 of them, and they are mainly divided into two teams. One team is responsible for excavation, and the other team cooperates with transportation. They work conscientiously and enthusiastically.
In fact, these are all clones of the earth spirit.
