Chapter 229 Yexiang Mountain
This large mountain range that traverses the due west region is more than a thousand kilometers long from north to south. It once had hundreds of tribes, large and small.
To the south of Citi Mountain, there are three large tribes that control the raw stone veins. The closest one is called Yexiang Mountain, which is directly in the territory of the Shield Tribe.
After half a night and half a day’s flight, we arrived at our destination.
Under the scorching sun, the throne of control hovered high in the sky. Long Bai and Mo Lan lay on the edge of the tree stump ant nest and looked down at it.
Surrounded by mountains on all sides, there are towering mountains, dangerous peaks and cliffs, and in the center is a gourd-shaped lake.
There is almost no change from what is recorded on the Citizen Mountain map. There is a small river rushing down from the mountain stream and flowing in from the "bottom" of the gourd, and a gurgling clear spring slowly flows out from the mouth of the gourd.
Once upon a time, the Zhidun Tribe had a very famous, but tasteless, god-given tree named 'Ye Xiang'. The edible effect of the force fruit it produced was to confer special abilities. The name Also called night fragrance: [Releases a confusing aroma, completely covering up one's own scent]
Isn't it unnecessary to use one scent to cover up another scent?
Long Bai and Mo Lan knew for the first time that a divine seed could be useless.
The ruling throne descended and rested at the mouth of the gourd-shaped lake.
There are pictures in the Palace of Knowledge, and it is probably in this area that the seeds of Night Incense were planted.
Normally, the wild divine seeds will be paid special attention to by the Zerg tribe, hidden, and powerful warriors will be sent to guard them around the clock. They will be kept strictly confidential and protected, and foreign warriors will never be allowed to approach.
The seed of the night fragrance god was different. It was planted openly by the lake, in the square where the tribe and traveling merchants traded.
The Straight Shield Tribe warriors, Flame Spider merchants, or other tribal warriors with good relationships can approach, visit, and communicate with each other.
If necessary, you can communicate with Yexiang God-given Seeds yourself to discuss the price.
The deal was settled, and the seed given by the God of Night Incense blossomed and bore fruit, producing a divine fruit that imparted special abilities.
The Zhidun Tribe basically ignores the seeds given by the God of Night Fragrance and lets it operate its own business and rely on its own efforts.
"Longbai, is it here? Go dig it?"
"Dig for what?"
"The rough stone planted by the night fragrance god. It is clearly recorded on the mural that it hid the rough stone earned by the lake."
Aren't you awake?
"Don't waste time. I'm going to catch two fish, cook them, fill my stomach, and let's get to work."
After Long Bai finished speaking, he flapped his wings and took off, flying close to the lake. plunder.
“Oh!”
Mo Lan took off and plunged into the dense forest in the mountains.
……
Eat and drink enough and rest for half a day.
Long Bai also looked around for a long time and located three towering peaks suitable for building a nest.
In the evening, the cool breeze from the mountains takes away the heat of the day, which is a good time to work.
Long Bai chose a location, called Mo Lan, and started digging together.
The same stupid method as the excavation of the Ninghu ruins is to find a steep location on the mountainside and dig a tunnel parallel to the inside of the mountain.
The rock in this mountain is very hard, so digging is very difficult.
In the vacuum environment of the Force, after digging for a while, you have to return to the throne of dominance to rest.
For four consecutive days, we dug fifty or sixty meters deep into the mountain, but found nothing.
It can basically be determined that it is not this mountain.
There are two more, which seem to be about the same height...
The ruling throne is parked by the lake, cooking and resting around the large metal can.
"Mo Lan, dig on another hill."
"Okay!"
"Which mountain? You choose."
"Hmm——"
Mo Lan hesitated. The price of making the wrong choice would be four days of hard work in vain.
There are still more than thirty ruins of large tribes that once had a population of over 10,000 in Yunji Continent waiting to be explored.
What he and Long Bai lack most is time.
"Which one?" Mo Lan hesitated, raised his front foot and pointed.
Long Bai: "Then another one!"
Mo Lan: "???"
Long Bai: "From experience, whenever you make a choice , when you have full confidence, it will come true. On the contrary, when you have insufficient confidence, you will make mistakes.”
Long Bai: “You clearly lacked confidence just now.”
Mo Lan: "..."
There seems to be some truth~
Mo Lan retorted silently.
Both hills look the same.
That’s it.
Rest for half a day, go up the mountain in the evening, choose a location, and start digging.
Four days later,
still nothing.
Then there is only the last mountain left suitable for building a settlement nest.
Four days later,
Long Bai suddenly became suspicious of Yisheng.
"Mo Lan... I dug it! The rock wall with strengthened earth ability."
"Oh!"
"Okay!"
Behind the rear, Mo Lan cheered and beat with her claws, "I told you to dig this first. If you don't believe me, it's a waste of time. If you don't believe me, it's a waste of time..."
"Be gentle. Don't scratch my wing membrane..."
"I wasted four days!" "Then hurry up and find the entrance! Move back..."
Exit the cave noisily.
Eat, rest, and observe the mountains.
Finally, Long Bai chose a cliff facing the southwest of the lake.
In front of the cliff is a flat hillside, which is the most suitable location for opening a cave entrance.
"Mo Lan, point to the location, I'll dig it."
"Here?"
When it came time to make a choice, Mo Lan suddenly felt guilty again and raised her head gently. Claw, pointed.
--good!
——I believe you!
——Work begins!
Dragon cypress is excavated directly.
Close to the cliff, vertically downward.
Long Bai dug, and Mo Lan used a bag made of animal skin to carry the earth and rocks out and dump them.
The first pitfall, no.
Mo Lan pointed again.
The second pitfall is still wrong.
Mo Lan pointed again, but it was still wrong...
In this place, Long Bai dug deeper, pausing for a long time to dig one pit, and then dug five pits in a row. Finally, when the sixth pit was dug to a depth of more than four meters, Long Bai glanced around with his mental strength and touched the hard stone wall.
Reinforced passage walls.
The entrance is at the front.
Re-plan and excavate.
After some twists and turns, the entrance to the Yexiang Mountain ruins was finally found and dug out.
Mo Lan rushed ahead and ran in.
Long Bai followed calmly.
The Zerg warriors lack imagination and innovation ability, and the design and layout of the caves they live in are similar.
After entering, there is a hall where distinguished guests or tribal stewards and warriors gather for meetings.
A spiral downward passage leads to the tribal treasure house.
A long, horizontal, straight passage leads to the cave where the tribe's top warriors live.
Inside the living cave, there are the remains of two warriors from the Zhishishi Tribe, one large and one small.
Mo Lan, who was the first to rush into the treasure house, ran back holding a branch cut into a length of about one meter.
“Dragon cypress! The remnants of a god-given seed!”
“What tree?”
"I don't know."
"Did you see the leaves?"
"No."
"It should be that the Zerg warriors who were the last to clean up the mess were lazy and gave up. branches and leaves, only the trunk is collected."
"Yes."
Mo Lan threw the tree trunk to Long Bai and turned around to leave.
It has been too long, and the surface of the tree trunk has been carbonized and turned black, making it impossible to identify the tree species. Long Bai looked at it twice, threw it on the ground, and walked down the passage at a faster speed.
Similar to the structure of Citizen Hill, Nyang Lake, and Black Lotus Lake, the spiral downward passage has a fork at intervals, leading to a cave where raw stones are stored.
The rough stones were exhausted, and the last Zerg warrior cut the remains of the god-given seed into pieces and packed them in.
Long Bai's mental power spread out, and he walked all the way, scanning the caves one by one.
Mo Lan ran over holding another tree trunk.
"Dragon cypress! It's not the same kind of tree! The second kind of remnant of a god-given seed."
"Normal. There is a rough stone vein controlled by Yexiang Mountain, which is quite rich. Look for any rough stone. "Left behind."
"Yes! Raw stone!"
Mo Lan dropped the tree trunk, turned around and ran out again.
This time it took a long time to leave the ruling throne. Long Bai was worried that it would forget the danger when it was happy and start running after it.
One breath to the end.
At the bottom of the treasure house is a square cave with a side length of about ten meters, with the entrance blocked by gray powder.
——Original stone powder? !
The mental power was swept into the cave, and a wooden pile about 1 meter in diameter and 1 meter in height was buried in the center.
Long Bai and Mo Lan jumped up in shock.
A wild god-given seed, cut from the twigs at the heart of the tree!
This cave was once filled with rough stones, and the original force was extracted by this wooden pile and turned into powder.
Then...
Long Bai stepped forward to excavate, peeling away some hardened powder, and moved closer, mentally scanning the interior through the wooden piles.
There is still a faint trace of vitality left!
“Heart of the tree?” Long Bai couldn’t believe it.
“Alive!”
Mo Lan exclaimed.
"Quick! Carry it out!"
Long Bai shouted, his thoughts suddenly changed, he changed his mind, and changed his words: "Be careful! Cut it open! Take out the heart of the tree and take it to the throne of control to replenish the force."
