"The canyon here is called Luo Falcon Gorge. Because it is long and narrow, the top is so close that even an eagle flying as fast as lightning would be knocked down when entering it. However, it has been excavated here for decades, and there is a slight
Processing is beyond the pale."
"Both sides of the canyon can be mined. I heard that when this place was first discovered, it was like a god wielding a sword to split the ridge, revealing the treasure inside. You can reach out and pick out a large piece of Kunlun jade."
"This Kunlun jade is very brittle and is located in an inaccessible place, so it is mined by disciples of various poetry sects themselves, and the amount excavated every year is astonishing."
"There is only a kind of beetle that naturally exists in the canyon. This beetle is called the stone-breaking beetle. It feeds on Kunlun jade. It has a hard shell and is extremely difficult to kill. Recently, the beetles have become more prevalent and have become more violent.
The mine has almost come to a standstill.”
Song Mu was currently listening to an elder of the Shizong and his disciples introducing the situation here. He followed the team, marching forward while looking at the situation on both sides.
This place is an extremely long and narrow canyon, and the light from the sky above can only shine through that gap, making this place look very dark.
On the stone walls on both sides of the canyon, there are mining holes everywhere, and there are little bits of light shining in the holes.
That is the Kunlun jade tailings left over from mining, hidden in the stone wall as scattered powder.
Song Mu continued to walk forward, and there was a cool breeze blowing through it. In the endless canyon, there were dots of light flashing everywhere.
Song Mu was also very curious about this situation. Not far away, he saw several huge caves. The elder also spoke to everyone at this moment.
"These are some mine tunnels that are opened into the stone walls, but they have been basically exhausted. The few mines that can still produce a lot of ore have to stop because of the stone-breaking beetles."
As he said that, he continued to lead everyone forward, and at this time, a Shizong disciple expressed doubts and pointed to the mine.
"Elder, why does the Kunlun jade tailings seem to be able to glow?"
When Song Mu heard this, he also looked over and saw a little flickering light. He was amazed at the moment, and the elder had already spoken softly.
"The Kunlun Jade Book will be in harmony with the power of literature. With so many literati like us gathered here, it will naturally make them feel something."
When everyone heard this, they were also quite surprised.
At that moment, Song Mu followed the team and walked in for a while. The front man asked the team to stop, and then told the people behind him what was going on.
The first swarm of insects was discovered ahead, and it was much further ahead than before.
Several Shizong elders immediately took stock and decided to take action immediately to clear it out step by step.
When the order came to everyone's ears, the Shizong disciples were a little excited and started to prepare.
A group of disciples formed a team in this narrow canyon, and then listened to the elder explain the weakness of the stone-breaking beetle.
Song Mu was naturally standing among them, but he did not move at this moment, but looked around.
Many of the Shizong disciples were a little excited and nervous about this, and their literary power was also surging at this moment.
However, among them, the disciples of the Li Shi Sect appeared to be more natural. At this moment, they all took out the long swords in their hands and looked around, but their body movements were calm.
This can also be seen that they can deal with it more calmly. It is thought that this daily trial also makes them have a good character when facing the enemy.
Song Mu withdrew his gaze from them and immediately released a stream of telekinesis towards the front of the canyon.
After a while, his mind touched one of the places, and Song Mu discovered a lot of movement here.
As expected, there were many beetles clinging to this rock depression.
These beetles are each about the size of a human head, and they are constantly gnawing at the wall. No matter how hard the rock is, they are immediately broken in their mouths, and then the mouthparts on their mouths squirm quickly, eating the powder of Kunlun Jade.
.
Rays of light emitted from the round and flat beetle's abdomen, and the vitality of these insects seemed to become a little more active.
And at that moment, following the elder's order, the surrounding Shizong disciples rushed forward one after another.
They each held weapons in their hands. When they saw the insect nests, they immediately released the papers and launched attacks one after another.
Many disciples took action, and the canyon was filled with the aura of various literary powers for a while, and the Kunlun jade on the surrounding rock walls shimmered even more.
Song Mu also took a shot at this.
It was just a burst of force, and a beetle immediately fell down. Song Mu released another burst of force and rolled it up in front of him to check.
This beetle is about the size of a head, with brown-black bones attached to its entire body. It has a ferocious tone and looks quite threatening.
Song Mu just glanced at it twice, and the power in his hand suddenly condensed into flames, burning the insect in an instant.
The insect seemed to be extremely flammable, and the next moment it turned into a ball of ashes, and there were still a few stars in the ashes, which were obviously the Kunlun Jade powder that had been eaten.
Song Mu was relieved to see this situation. If this kind of insect was not extremely afraid of flames and had difficulty in developing intelligence, it would have definitely become a favorite in various cities of the Wen Dynasty with its pair of mouthparts that can easily chew rocks.
nightmare.
Song Mu now has a natural aversion to bugs. He just looked at them for a moment, then clapped his hands and looked around.
Many disciples were still attacking the surroundings, and the bugs began to fall off the wall after being attacked, and then rushed towards everyone.
Some female disciples were a little afraid of this, and they immediately lost their sense of proportion, seeing those insects approaching, but luckily there were streaks of fire.
Those were the disciples of the Li Shi Sect. Almost all of them were at the front of the team at the moment, in groups of three or two, waving the long sword in their hands constantly, sweeping away the surrounding insects from time to time.
Their attacks were staggered and continuous, and they knew that the insect's abdomen would burn instantly if it caught fire, so their attacks were simple and effective.
Which one is strong and which one is weak can be seen in just this one detail.
The reason why the disciples of the Li Shi Sect are so powerful is inseparable from this.
In just a moment, these people joined forces to completely wipe out the insects in front of them.
The team continued to move forward, and after wiping out several groups of insects, everyone discovered a strange situation.
That is, a huge hole appeared on the canyon wall in front of us at this moment.
The diameter may have reached ten meters, and it penetrated into the hard rock wall and was bottomless.
This hole was not dug manually, but after some inspection, no insect swarm was found in it. Several elders were a little surprised.
At the moment, everyone was thinking about whether to send a team to investigate, but Li Chi suddenly said something.
"The Kunlun jade in this one seems a bit too eye-catching, right?"
This sentence brought everyone's thoughts back. At that moment, everyone looked inside. Sure enough, they saw that in this cave, little stars were flickering. When they looked carefully, they could indeed find that it was brighter than the surroundings.
A little brighter.
Song Mu also used his mental power to explore. After finding no results, he spoke to several elders and asked everyone to stabilize their writing power.
Looking again, the Kunlun Jade's twinkling in the hollow was a bit more intense.
Several people had a look of surprise on their faces. Song Mu once again released his telekinesis, but the next moment he suddenly opened his eyes and shouted in a deep voice to the people around him.
