After the immortal disappeared

It is amazing that the Earth Spirit in the human world can create 20 or 30 clones. Elder Liu's judgment is accurate, and this one is particularly profound.

Its mining and transportation speed is at least ten times faster than that of humans working at full capacity! And because of the special talent of the Earth Spirit, it is particularly sensitive to the black crystals and can easily find the treasures hidden deep in the rock wall.

But the extreme clones also put a huge burden on the Earth Spirit's body, so the dwarf would feed him high-quality black crystals.

When he reached 35 meters underground, the tunnel was pitch dark and there was no light at all, but this environment did not bother the Earth Spirit.

This is a place that human miners don't often come to. The ore is big and beautiful, and the water head is very good.

The Earth Spirit was digging happily, and suddenly smelled a refreshing fragrance.

The smell of the underground cave remains unchanged, but this smell is refreshing. Closing your eyes is like standing in a garden full of flowers.

The Earth Spirit knew that this was the smell of the Emperor's sap. To put it more bluntly, this was an extremely rich spiritual fragrance!

Dozens of Earth Crickets gathered immediately and ran towards the source of the smell.

It was a long corridor with a small entrance that could only accommodate human children or dogs. Adults could not get in. There were many gravels scattered on the ground. It was obvious that this road was opened by miners not long ago, and it was likely that they had not had time to survey it.

This did not bother the Earth Spirit.

There was no black crystal on the stone walls on both sides of the corridor. The Earth Crickets ran for more than a hundred feet, and there was a dead end in front of them - a thick stone wall.

But on this stone wall, the Earth Spirit had embedded the largest piece of black crystal he had ever seen!

The part exposed outside the rock wall alone was three feet high and nearly two feet wide!

Who knew if this was just the tip of the iceberg? At present, Qian Huan's forbidden escape technique is still in effect in the Upside-Down Sea, and the Earth Spirit, as an outsider, has no way to directly detect its reserves.

Its color is also a gradual change from deep red to purple.

There is a saying, red is purple. Among all ranks, purple black crystals have the highest quality.

Such a flawless and huge black crystal made the Earth Spirit stare straight, stunned for a long time without saying a word.

Then, it reported to Master Jieshui and the dwarf.

Master Jieshui had only one word in mind:

Dig!

Dig it out quickly.

The current Tiangong team needs such pure and huge energy the most!

The dwarf hesitated: "Is it such a coincidence that someone gave me a pillow just when I was sleepy?"

When the resources were scarce, a ridiculously large black crystal suddenly appeared in the mine. The Earth Cricket didn't need to look for it elsewhere, and just focused on it.

Is there such a good thing in the world?

But when the earth crickets showed him the fragments of the black crystal they had cut off, he dispelled his last doubts:

The goods are genuine, and the price is fair.

"Dig, dig quickly!"

Such a large black crystal, just one or two, ten or eight earth crickets would have to dig for ten days? So the Earth Spirit gave an order, and the army of earth crickets that were exploring the mine suddenly turned around and rushed here in unison!

The huge area was filled with the rustling sound of six legs scratching the ground, which was more frightening than the passage of locusts.

If He Lingchuan and others were there, they would find that the giant black crystal on the stone wall was completely covered, and its surface was densely packed with large insects!

They pounced on the black crystal, tried to cut it with their sharp mouthparts and front claws, and quickly transported away any scraps they picked off.

Other mole crickets were trying to dig at the stone wall to get out the hidden part of the black crystal.

More of their companions were coming from other parts of the mine.

"It's almost there." Elder Liu whispered to He Lingchuan, "There are fewer mole crickets passing by outside."

The main wave band has passed, which means that most of the mole crickets have been driven into the tunnel.

He Lingchuan nodded, indicating that he should wait a little longer, but in fact he was secretly listening to Aunt Zhu's voice transmission:

"Hey, the eyeball spider found that there are always a few bird monsters flying around in the sky above Yaozi Lake, glowing all the time."

Glowing?

Although he could also borrow the vision of the eyeball spider, he could not see as high and far as the original body.

Now the eyeball spider is hiding in the tallest tree crown beside the mine. This tree protrudes from the cliff and echoes with Yaozi Lake not far away.

Like Aunt Zhu, the eyeball spider has more than a dozen eyes arranged around its head, with almost 360 degrees of vision without blind spots. It had seen the bird demons flying back and forth in the sky.

"They flew from the direction of Upside Down Lake, and when they reached the sky above Yaozi Lake, they threw the light spots down, and repeated this several times." Aunt Zhu added, "I watched for a long time. What did the light spots look like? Do you remember the glowing silver bead fruits by the Upside Down Lake?"

They stood on Shilong Peak to watch the live broadcast of Haoyuan Golden Mirror. Whenever they switched to the Upside Down Lake, they could always see countless stars on the shore. Xiao Wencheng had explained long ago that it was the fruit of the Silver Bead Tree, which would only absorb the moonlight and glow all night long on the night of the fifteenth.

He Lingchuan nodded.

Which bird demon would specially bring the silver bead fruit from Upside Down Lake and throw it into Yaozi Lake to hear the sound of water?

Dong Rui stood behind Elder Liu and made a few hand gestures to He Lingchuan: "Is the Heavenly Palace testing something?"

When he did experiments himself, didn't he have to try them over and over again?

The battle was fierce, and the Huan Sect certainly didn't have the time to do this. So most of these bird monsters were from the Tiangong camp.

Thinking of the abnormality of Yaozi Lake and the heat of the God Bone Necklace, He Lingchuan stroked his chin. Did Bai Ziqi also find some clues?

This probably happened after he and Elder Liu led the team to Yu Village. The Haoyuan Golden Mirror can monitor the entire Upside-Down Sea. Did Xiao Wencheng also see the unusual movements of these bird demons?

Earlier, He Lingchuan asked him about the enemy's movements, but he didn't mention it at all.

Did he not notice it, or didn't want to say it?

At this time, Elder Liu reminded again: "It's been a long time since a mole cricket passed by."

This "a long time" is just a dozen breaths, and he was a little anxious.

He Lingchuan then gently read out a name:

"Auntie!"

Above the entrance of the corridor, a black shadow suddenly moved.

...

Wu Shidao rushed out of the edge of the lighthouse barrier, summoned the Haoyuan Golden Mirror, and stepped back to Shilong Peak.

He could only return to the square.

On the way to Wenhui Pavilion, he passed by several young disciples of Huanzong and heard them calling him "Uncle Wu".

They were too young and had learned too few magical powers. They couldn't go to the battlefield, so they stayed in the sect to do logistics.

One of them was a fellow villager of Wu Shidao, and he even joked with his companions.

He didn't know that his village had been destroyed by Master Xiao.

Wu Shidao looked at them with mixed feelings. He had lived for decades and thought he knew everything, but in fact he had been living in the lies woven by the Illusion Sect, being deceived and used. How different was he from these naive children?

He shook his head, put aside his distracting thoughts, and hurried into Wenhui Pavilion.

Only Xiao Wencheng stood in front of the mirror here, and the other elders were not there.

He stepped forward to greet him. Xiao Wencheng knew he was here, but he didn't even turn his head: "How is the battle in the lighthouse barrier?"

Xiao Wencheng couldn't see the battle scene from the Haoyuan Golden Mirror because of the barrier, so he could only ask the witnesses for information.

In the past, Wu Shidao thought Master Xiao was a master, as unattainable as the bright moon, but now he only thought he was sanctimonious.

This is the man who killed his relatives without a care, drove away the Yaksha to eat the residents of Silver Pearl Island, and placed his statue in the Wind God Temple, asking everyone to worship him wholeheartedly!

The moment he saw Xiao Wencheng, Wu Shidao couldn't help but feel boundless hatred in his heart!

He quickly bent down to avoid being discovered by Xiao Wencheng.

Since Xiao Wencheng asked about the battle situation, he concealed the fact that he was captured, and told everything else truthfully.

The more truth and details he told, the more he could cover up his misconduct.

He is an old man of the Huan Sect. He usually goes in and out of the important places of the sect in Shilong Peak frequently. Today, he came back twice to report and take things. Xiao Wencheng saw him covered in blood and his face was firm. What's more, the battle on the lakeside was fierce. After listening to his description, Xiao Wencheng was full of thoughts about how to deal with it.

Therefore, when he mentioned that Elder Jin asked for help with 800 kilograms of top-grade black crystals, Xiao Wencheng didn't think much about it and wrote a handwritten order for him.

The three elders on the front line had sent people back for help many times. Xiao Wencheng also knew that once the battle started, the materials accumulated over the years would be consumed like water.

But what can we do? This battle must continue until the other side shows its cards first.

Wu Shidao got the warrant, quickly saluted him, turned around and walked out of Wenhui Pavilion.

This step was smoother than expected, and the next step was the highlight-

Xianguang Cave.

When he arrived, another group of disciples came to withdraw supplies.

These people greeted him: "Uncle Wu, you go first!"

"No, you go." Wu Shidao followed them and walked into the Xianguang Cave slowly.

The animal head statue on the door once scared away the brain-eating insect monster, preventing it from sneaking in, but Wu Shidao was "one of them", so it only took a look and let him go.

There were guards along the way. Wu Shidao showed the master's handwritten order and passed through easily. He also met two managers, both of whom were acquaintances. He smiled and greeted them: "Is Manager Lu here?"

"Brother Lu went to coordinate the collection of medicines and will be back soon." The two managers sighed, "The war on the front line has caused too much expenditure on medicines."

This Xianguang Cave almost emptied the belly of the mountain. A total of 36 caves were dug out inside, and there were a dazzling array of treasures, which showed that the Huanzong family was large and powerful.

The first three times a newcomer went in, he would feel that this was a maze. The inner roads were connected in all directions. Not to mention finding what he wanted, it was difficult to find the exit.

Of course, Wu Shidao did not have such troubles. He walked to the second to last floor with ease and twists and turns, and he also stepped on many hidden mechanisms along the way.

If an outsider broke in rashly, he would be killed in an instant.

From this floor down, all the treasures of the Huanzong were placed. There was another stone chamber in front, which was empty except for a sleeping giant beast.

This monster looks like a tiger, with the same yellow body and black stripes, but its face is narrow and short, and it has a pair of boar-like fangs.
