Chapter seven hundred and eighty fourth energy stone
Shen Huimin giggled proudly, and made an extremely thrilling 360-degree sword flying movement among the mountains. Zhou Sen was so frightened that he hugged Shen Huimin's slender waist. Unfortunately, now Zhou Sen
Sen's heart was in his throat, and he had no time to feel Shen Huimin's slender and soft waist.
Compared with before, Shen Huimin's superpowers have indeed increased rapidly, and she has become more and more skillful in activating the flying sword.
The most important thing is that Shen Huimin can form a spiritual shield to block wind, frost and dust, which is of great benefit to superpowers when flying with swords in extremely bad weather.
For those who have reached a high level of superpower, the spirit shield produced can also resist some magic weapons.
At the same time, the emergence of the spirit shield means that Shen Huimin has officially entered the industry of junior superpowers, waiting for the first catastrophe to come.
Shen Huimin didn't take the first disaster seriously. The first disaster for a junior superpower was just symbolic and not very lethal. Besides, Shen Huimin also had a powerful ice weapon.
The Soul Sword is more than enough to withstand the first catastrophe.
Neither Shen Huimin nor Zhou Sen expected that Shen Huimin's cultivation would greatly increase because Shen Huimin massaged Zhou Sen and used her superpower to control paper dragonflies. Although this massage lasted only a short time,
But it consumes a lot of super power, which is equivalent to Shen Huimin practicing like crazy.
Shen Huimin has always been too lazy. She only sleeps and wanders around Moling. She has never practiced properly for a day. Therefore, her super powers have always been lingering in the early stages of spiritual cultivation. However, her recent diligence has allowed Shen Wan to build it in her body.
The superpowers with a solid foundation are making rapid progress, and there is a faint tendency to make breakthroughs.
soon.
The two of them arrived outside the cave at the foot of the mountain.
Shen Huimin pressed the flying sword and carefully searched the surrounding area.
Because Shen Huimin once witnessed Zhou Sen, an ordinary person, ambushing two superpowers, her carefree personality has changed a lot, and she also knows to carefully investigate unfamiliar environments and walk on thin ice.
After confirming that there was nothing suspicious, the two boldly entered the cave.
The cave was still the same, without any change, which made the two men breathe a sigh of relief.
The two found some firewood and lit a bonfire. Under the orange light, the cave gave people a warm and cozy feeling.
“How do we go about it?”
Shen Huimin stared at the tens of thousands of tons of snow blocking the cave wall, like a dog biting a hedgehog, helpless. Facing the power of nature, human power is too small, even if Shen Huimin has a flying sword
People with super powers are sometimes powerless.
In fact, the main reason is that Shen Huimin's cultivation is too shallow. If he were a master of spiritual cultivation like Shen Wan, he would have already had a spiritual connection with the flying sword he spent day and night with. After all, the black gold dagger is not an ordinary sword.
Taste.
"The only option is to dig." Zhou Sen shook his head. Faced with this situation, he couldn't think of a way and could only use the most primitive method to solve it.
"The wall of the cave alone is tens of meters wide. How are we going to dig? Besides, if we dig too hard, the snow on top will collapse. It's impossible for us to uncover all the snow." Shen Huimin
A frustrated look on his face.
"We can only try our luck... Just wait..." Zhou Sen suddenly squatted on the ground, found a small stone and started writing and drawing on the ground.
"What are you doing?" Shen Huimin asked curiously, looking at some strange symbols and numbers on the ground.
"I'm calculating the most likely direction in which the body will fall... No, these data are not enough. We have to go out to find reference data. Huimin, let's go to the cave."
"What?"
"I need slope trends and data."
"oh……"
Shen Huimin, a girl with a farming culture, naturally didn't understand any calculations, so she could only listen to Zhou Sen. The two boarded the flying sword again and flew directly out of the cave with the sword.
Soon, the two of them arrived outside the cave. At that time, Shen Huimin jumped down from here and was rolled down by the snowball.
The two searched the cave again before starting to fly from the cave up and down the hillside. During the flight, Zhou Sen kept reciting some complicated data. This kind of survey was extremely time-consuming and took a lot of time.
It took an hour, which made Shen Huimin impatient.
For Shen Huimin, instead of wasting time here, it is better to dig in the cave. According to Shen Huimin, blind cats can also encounter dead mice, not to mention they are much more powerful than blind cats...
Zhou Sen automatically filtered Shen Huimin's suggestions. He knew very well that finding a body in so much snow was no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
Zhou Sen was too lazy to pay attention to the chattering Shen Huimin, and began to take out a pen and paper from the small bag he carried with him, and began to record some important visual data. After repeating this process dozens of times, Zhou Sencai and Shen Huimin returned to the cave. At this time,
Shen Huimin, who was flying with the sword, was already so tired that she was sweating. After returning to the cave, she sat down on the ground and refused to get up.
Zhou Sen began to make huge calculations.
"Zhou Sen, is it helpful?" Shen Huimin touched her hot cheeks with both hands and gasped for air.
"There are definitely errors, but it's better than digging blindly."
"How much error?"
"It is currently impossible to determine. A stone, a branch, or a stretching action of yours may affect the trajectory of the fall at that time..."
"In other words, you are being blind?"
"...Ahem, I'm not blind. I calculated many ways, and then selected a few of the most likely probabilities."
"In other words, how many snow caves do we have to dig before we can find the body?"
"Yes, that's the theory. However, I will minimize the probability. If possible, we would need to dig up to three snow caves to find the body."
"Three snow caves..." Shen Huimin leaned against the cave wall with a look of collapse on her face.
"Okay, let's start digging. Let's dig from this place first. This place is the final landing point for the two of us, and the stress point where the snowball hits the wall of the cave should be around here. As long as we start from here and head towards
If you dig in the direction where it fell, you can find the body soon." "Okay... what should we use to dig?" Shen Huimin suddenly hesitated.
"..."
Zhou Sen also looked dull. They actually forgot to bring tools for digging holes.
"It seems that we can only dig it tomorrow." Shen Huimin flew up and down the Mo Ridge dozens of times. She was already exhausted and wanted to go home and cover her head to sleep. She immediately suggested.
"But, what if your Ice Soul Divine Sword is sold tomorrow?"
"..."
Shen Huimin was speechless immediately and looked gloomy.
As Zhou Sen said, what if the Ice Soul Divine Sword is sold tomorrow?
Without the Ice Soul Divine Sword, let alone them digging up corpses at night, even a round trip to Mo Ling would take a day. You know, from Mo Ling to Niejiaqiao, it is one hundred and forty miles away.
, not counting the rugged and steep mountain roads in Moling. A trip there, let alone digging any snow caves, would be exhausting.
Seeing the gloomy look on Shen Huimin's face, Zhou Sen couldn't bear it for some reason.
"Without digging tools, we definitely won't be able to dig today. By the way, how many energy stones does your father need?" Zhou Sen asked.
"The doctor said that at least nine top-grade energy stones are needed to form the energy stone matrix. According to the current market price, the price of each top-grade energy stone is 800,000 imperial coins, and there is a price but no market. If you really want to buy it in one go
Nine energy stones, the price will only be higher."
"Nine top-grade energy stones, more than 70 million imperial coins..."
Zhou Sen secretly sighed. With the financial resources of the Shen family, even if there was no famine, it would be impossible to raise more than 70 million imperial coins in cash. After all, most of the assets of merchants like the Shen family are fixed assets.
It exists in the form of tens of thousands of acres of fertile farmland and countless barren mountains. It is definitely not possible to sell these properties into cash in the short term.
As for the Shen Jiadong compound warehouse, it seems that the amount of piles piled up is extremely alarming. However, it is accumulated by the Shen family for decades, forming a rolling virtuous cycle. If the inventory in the warehouse is suddenly converted into cash, then
Niejiaqiao's butt is so big that he cannot digest such a huge inventory in a short period of time. If he dumps it forcefully, it will definitely cause a market collapse.
"It's a pity that our Niejiaqiao does not produce energy stones." Shen Huimin said with a sad face.
"Where do energy stones generally come from?" Zhou Sen has always absorbed the power of faith and does not know much about energy stones. After all, it is difficult to come into contact with them in the five star fields. Zhou Sen has never understood why.
This planet can produce energy stones, but this is unheard of in the five star regions.
"Some spiritual veins also produce some ores. However, after thousands of years of mining, the ores in nature have basically disappeared. Even if they exist, the labor cost is extremely high. The current sources of energy stones are mainly some mythical beasts and monsters.
It is an energy stone formed in the body of a beast. However, most of the mythical beasts are raised by humans, and they are mainly obtained by hunting monsters."
"Where are monsters usually located?" Zhou Sen asked curiously.
"I'm not very sure either... My father said that the places with the most monsters are the prehistoric areas and the monster forests. Then, monsters appear in many famous mountains and rivers. The energy stones in the bodies of the monsters in those famous mountains and rivers are even more...
They have reached the legendary immortal level, and each has its own magical uses. However, monsters of this level have lived for countless thousands of years, have a glimpse of the way of heaven, and have boundless power. Not to mention that they are not easy to encounter, even if you encounter them, you can hide them.
It’s too late, who dares to hunt?”
"Where are the divine beasts?" Inexplicably, Zhou Sen thought of Xiaotian Dog and Bifang. These two guys are considered divine beasts. They can be summoned, or they can be killed and the energy stones taken out. At this moment, staying in the space ring
Xiaotian Quan and Bi Fang, who were arguing inside, had a cold war at the same time.
Of course, Zhou Sen didn't know that there was a big gap between the mythical beasts in Shen Huimin's mouth and the mythical beasts like Xiaotian Dog and Bi Fang. Strictly speaking, they were not on the same plane at all.
"Mythical beasts are actually similar to poultry raised by humans. They are raised by some powerful superpowers and some sects, and look after homes and homes. Most of them are hundreds or even thousands of years old. They are older than some superpowers.
They are amazing, and there are people protecting them, so don’t even think about hunting them.”
"It is said in the Niejiaqiao local chronicle that the Moling Snow Leopard is the offspring of the mythical beast. Because of inbreeding, it has lost some of the abilities of the mythical beast."
"Yes, in our Niejiaqiao, only the Moling Snow Leopard has energy stones, and they are top-quality energy stones. Unfortunately, although the Moling Snow Leopard has no magic power, it is extremely alert and cunning. It is not only difficult to catch, but also has large numbers.
It is rare. If my father is only short of one or two top-quality energy stones, we can find a solution from the Moling Snow Leopard. But now there are nine top-quality energy stones. I estimate that the total number of Moling Snow Leopards in the entire Moling Mountains may not be the same.
There are nine..."
Shen Huimin sighed and gently touched the Ice Soul Divine Sword in her hand with a look of reluctance on her face.
"How long is the lifespan of the Moling Snow Leopard?" An idea suddenly came to Zhou Sen's mind.
"Not long. It is said that due to inbreeding, the Moling snow leopards lack some genes and their lifespan is only about seventy years, which is about the same as the lifespan of ordinary humans."
"After the Moling Snow Leopards die, will the energy stones inside their bodies disappear?" Zhou Sen's heart moved, and a hint of excitement suddenly appeared on his face.
"No...you mean..." Shen Huimin's eyes suddenly widened and she stared at Zhou Sen.
"Yes, think about it, it has been nearly seven hundred years since Shuimu took the sacred leopard to live in seclusion in the Moling area. During these seven hundred years, even if he only breeds ten animals a year, he will breed at least nearly a hundred snow leopards in the Moling area.
, or even more, if their bodies are found..."
In Zhou Sen's eyes, blazing flames rose.
"Yes, if we find their bodies, we will be rich..." Shen Huimin was so excited that she suddenly hugged Zhou Sen, jumped up and down, and kissed Zhou Sen on the forehead.
"Let's go find the body of the Moling Snow Leopard." Feeling Shen Huimin's plump and soft body rubbing against his body, Zhou Sen took a deep breath to get rid of distracting thoughts in his mind.
"...Zhou Sen, it's so tragic..." Shen Huimin's expression suddenly froze, with a sad face.
"Um?"
"If there are really hundreds of snow leopard carcasses in Moling, then we have to search in many places. We don't have time at all now!"
"You don't have to look for many places." Zhou Sen said with a smile: "In the animal world, some highly intelligent animals have their own family cemeteries. When they feel that they are about to die, they will rush to the secret cemetery and quietly
Quietly waiting for death to come."
"So magical?" Shen Huimin looked incredulous.
"Yes, in fact, animals and humans have a lot in common. In ancient times, humans also had their own secret cemeteries, such as some caves. However, with the development of time, humans have enough power to protect their own kind.
After the cemeteries, in order to facilitate worship, human cemeteries changed from hidden to public, but some ancient habits are still retained, such as gathering family cemeteries together."
"Haha, that's great, that's great, let's go find it quickly!" Shen Huimin raised her lips, her crescent eyes were like crescent moons, and shouted excitedly.
"Let's go, let's find the energy stone first, and then slowly dig up the body."
Zhou Sen shook his head fiercely, and walked in front of Shen Huimin first to avoid seeing Shen Huimin's bumpy back. However, Shen Huimin didn't like walking behind Zhou Sen, so she ran over happily.
In front of Zhou Sen, Zhou Sen had to endure the temptation of the graceful back wrapped in a little cotton-padded jacket, and control the primitive desires in his body that were about to move.
Inexplicably, at this moment, Zhou Sen actually thought of Miaolan's beautiful face and indifferent behavior.
Compared with the lively and simple Shen Huimin, Miaolan is more feminine, and her speech and behavior make Zhou Sen's heart flutter.
Of course, there is a deeper reason, Miaolan is a prostitute.
When a man faces a prostitute, his most primitive desires will be stimulated.
Zhou Sen has always avoided any emotional ties and concerns. He knows that he has a good impression of Shen Huimin, and he must nip this good feeling in the bud. He cannot let this spark start a prairie fire.
Zhou Sen took a deep breath and let himself enter a state of "quietness". Sure enough, the complicated thoughts were swept away. Shen Huimin's youthful and energetic body lost its temptation for him. The original and wild body
Desire is buried deep in the soul.
"Zhou Sen, do you have any goals?" Shen Huimin naturally didn't know the complicated mental process Zhou Sen had just gone through, so she turned around and asked.
"Let's search along the cave first." Zhou Sen pointed at the dilapidated wooden house with a torch and said: "Senior Xiu Shen lives in seclusion here, and those Moling Snow Leopards are the sacred beasts he raised. Presumably, the graveyard of those Moling Snow Leopards is
He will not be far away either.”
"But, we have searched here, but there is no way out, and there is no secret cemetery."
"There must be a way out, but we can't find it. You see, this cave is not humid, and the flames of the torches are erratic. There must be a hidden place, and that place is probably the secret cemetery of the Moling Snow Leopard.
"
"Hmm... Zhou Sen, you are so smart. I wish I were as smart as you... When I was a child, my mother always called me a fool and hit me on the head. Humph! She gave birth to a stupid daughter because of her displeasure.
She always blames others. She gave birth to the stupid thing herself, so she can’t blame me. Besides, if you hit the head if it’s nothing, you’ll get hit if you’re not stupid...The doctor from Shenlong Mountain said that the head is very fragile, and long-term knocking
, it’s easy to become an idiot, I think my mother should have knocked me out for being so stupid now..."
"..."
Listening to Shen Huimin chattering about her mother in front of her, Zhou Sen felt a familiar warmth, and he thought of his adoptive father and adoptive mother.
After escaping from Mogan Prison, Zhou Sen did not actively pursue the truth. Except for the reason of the third princess, he also did not want the image of his adoptive father and adoptive mother to be shattered in his heart.
"Zhou Sen, it's over." Just as Zhou Sen was wandering thousands of miles away, Shen Huimin stopped and tapped on the rock wall with the Ice Soul Sword, trying to find something.
Zhou Sen suddenly woke up from his memories and realized that the two of them had reached the end of the cave without knowing it.
The cave is no different from an ordinary cave. The rock walls are rough and there is no trace of artificial carving. Moreover, the rock walls are covered with a thin layer of moss with some water droplets mixed in the middle.
Obviously, the other side at the end of the cave cannot be empty, otherwise it would not be wet.
The two of them each held torches and knocked rocks in the cave, hoping for a miracle. They searched back and forth more than a dozen times, but still found no trace of anything. The cave was still the same cave, and all the traces showed that this cave was originally
A primitive cave. Except for the traces of carvings near the wooden house, the rest of the cave is completely natural.
