"Let's also look for any good-looking animal bones."
"Okay." Qian Xin, Qing Huang and Gu Sangnu looked at each other and said almost at the same time.
Then, they began to pick through the pile of animal bones. At this time, Guan Heng noticed Shi Jingwei stopping in front of a nearby rock wall. He didn't know what he was observing, so he stepped forward and asked: "Hey, you
What's going on?"
Hearing this, Shi Jingwei turned around and gestured to Guan Henglian, which meant: "I found something different here. The rock formations are weak, and there are many gaps where breeze blows out."
"Oh, it seems to be a secret passage, worth investigating." Guan Heng said immediately: "You and the puppet commander immediately smash this rock wall."
Hearing this, Shi Jingwei immediately nodded and called the puppet soldier commander beside him.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Ping ping ping pong!"
"Crash!" In just the blink of an eye, a large piece of the weak rock wall was smashed into pieces, and a huge hole appeared.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh our last” Suddenly, strong winds came rushing in. Even the puppet commander and Shi Jingwei were shaken a few times because of their heavy bodies.
"Hey, there is such a strong wind?" Seeing this scene, Qing Huang, Qian Xin and other sisters and other companions were immediately attracted, and everyone asked: "What's going on?"
"Oh, we found a hidden snow area." Guan Heng said casually: "Just right, you can go in and have a look now, let's go."
"Okay!" As soon as he said these words, the girls and other companions immediately agreed and followed Guan Heng into the gap in the rock wall.
This is indeed a winding and wide tunnel. Not to mention Guan Heng and the others, it is very convenient for them to move. Even a huge body like Stone Turtle Beast does not feel cramped when walking.
"Hey, this is..." King Jiaxiu, who was walking in front, discovered something and called the nearby demon mandrill: "Hey, come and take a look at this."
"Is it an ore? Hahaha, what a blessing." Grabbing the object, the mandrill smiled and shook it at Guan Heng and everyone not far behind him, and shouted: "Master Guan, everyone, take a look."
"Is it a metal ore?" "Yes, it should be medium-quality ancient iron ore."
After hearing Guan Heng's inquiry, Demon Mandrill replied: "But this should only be the peripheral area of the mine, so the ancient iron ore that can be seen everywhere has such quality. It is estimated that we can get higher-grade iron ore when it reaches the veins or the core area of the mine.
mineral."
"Well, that's good." After hearing this, Guan Heng nodded, and then said: "Keep moving forward, and by the way, send out the little soil toad, snake-headed corpse dog and mutated scorpion to help us search and locate the nearby area.
The mining and snow area.”
"Yes, leave it to us."
After hearing this, the evil goose mother and the earth palace toad agreed at the same time, and then immediately followed the instructions.
All companions who were able to survey the terrain were sent out, and not long after, there were reports from Zizhi and Corpse Dogs, saying that they had found several small mines.
Demon Mandrill said: "Master Guan, the scale of the mineral deposits in these areas is not large. In my opinion..."
"I understand what you mean. Since it's just a small mine, don't worry about it for the time being. You can leave some companions to be responsible for digging, and then let the little earth toads following them transfer the ore to the Ethereal Toad Cauldron. Let's continue looking for the veins.
." Guan Heng said casually.
"Yes, that's what I mean." Mandrill rubbed his hands happily and said with a smile: "Master Guan, it's great that you understand." "Okay, there's no need to waste time, let's get everyone started."
"Okay." After hearing Guan Heng's instructions, the Demon Mandrill immediately dispatched a group of gray-brown demon hedgehogs, round-eared monster rats and ice gluttonous beasts, and asked everyone to disperse to several small mines to start digging for ore, and there were dozens of them.
A small toad follows them and is responsible for transporting ore.
Guan Heng and everyone else continued to move forward. This time, it was the snake-headed corpse dog and the dog king who made the contribution. They relied on their keen sense of smell to continuously search the ore area, and finally found a huge mine pit.
"Hehehe, they are all metal ores. Not only are there ancient iron ores, there are also associated jade ores."
The Demon Mandrill weighed a few pieces of ore in his hand and said with a smile: "Master Guan, these ores seem to be of good quality."
"But neither metal mines nor jade mines are the main mineral deposits here." Guan Heng glanced at the thing in Demon Mandrill's hand, and then continued: "In my opinion, there must be other types of ores here."
"Well, that's what I thought too. What about these ores..." asked the magic mandrill. "The old rule is that the earth spirit warriors and wood spirit warriors are left to be responsible for mining, and the little earth toad is responsible for transporting it. There is no need for us to stay here to supervise the work.
.”
"Okay, I understand." Because there are many companions around who can mine ores, Guan Heng and Demon Mandrill don't have to worry about insufficient manpower. In this way, after leaving the earth spirit warriors and wood spirit warriors, everyone continued
Go forward.
…
Unknowingly, everyone had gone deep into this tunnel and walked a distance of several hundred feet.
"Stop!" Guan Heng suddenly raised his hand and said, "That's almost it."
"Guan Heng, how do you say this?" Qian Xin was a little puzzled and said, "Didn't you see no trace of the mineral veins yet?"
"No, according to my judgment, the mineral vein should be near here." After saying this, Guan Heng suddenly took a step forward and stepped hard on the ground with his foot.
"Bang! Boom--" It was too late to say it, but it was faster than that. The ground under Guan Heng's feet suddenly shattered. As the earth and rocks collapsed, a shocking indented ravine appeared.
"How could this happen?" Seeing this scene, the girls and other companions stared at each other for a while, a little surprised.
Guan Heng immediately explained: "I just released the Tuxuan spiritual energy to explore the surrounding environment and found that the soil on the ground is relatively soft. If we all walk over, it might collapse immediately under our feet. This is why I stopped you from continuing to move forward. Now it seems that here
It’s the shortcut to the mine.”
"Hehehe, you are indeed worthy of being Master Guan. You can actually see through the essence of this place at a glance." Demon Mandrill stroked his palms and said with a smile: "We are so young, we are ashamed of ourselves."
"Stop flattering, why don't you hurry up and explore the way." After Guan Heng said this, the devil immediately said: "Yes, I will go right away."
After saying that, it hooked its fingers at the white-browed old monkey and the big-headed monkey: "You two have nothing to do. Take a walk and come with me."
"Woo-chi-chi!"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!" The two monkeys couldn't help but screamed and followed the demonic mandrill into the sloping slope ahead.
Guan Heng said to the girls and other companions behind him: "Let's go, let's follow." After counting his breath, the demon mandrill and the two monkeys arrived at the bottom of the slope ahead of everyone else.
"Ah ha, the smell of ore is everywhere. This area should be the core area of the ore vein."
