Chapter 258 Zikui Mountain Ruins
Long Bai and Mo Lan spent more than ten days to find the entrance to the Xuanling Brown Mantis tribe's treasure house.
The result was nothing.
There is no shimmering gold, no god-given remains left, only many murals can be seen in the entrance hall, vividly recording the various fighting skills of the Mantis warriors.
This is a warlike tribe.
Nothing gained.
Next stop, Zikui Mountain, the territory of the Migratory Locust Tribe.
The plain land between Jianlan Plain and Hanlan Plain is also very easy to find. It is a large mountain with a slope of less than 30 degrees. At the foot of the mountain is a lake with many mulberry trees growing there.
Long Bai and Mo Lan had visited this place before to collect mulberry fruits and refine them to make ant honey.
Migratory locusts like to eat mulberry leaves, and the cultivated plants are mainly mulberry trees. Many high-quality mulberry tree species have been left here.
This is where the mulberry trees sowing the banks of the Azure Reservoir come from.
“I didn’t expect it! There is actually a large tribal treasure house hidden in this place.”
“The once Zikui Mountain was a sea of trees, but now it is dilapidated and has become like this. It’s really a great change.”
The ruling throne stopped by the lake, and Mo Lan looked at the mountains ahead and gave a speech.
After sighing, Mo Lan started to have trouble again, "Long Bai, this mountain seems to have no steep cliffs. Where is the right place to dig?"
Long Bai had already surveyed the terrain when the throne of control descended, and was pondering this issue at this time.
"First make a hole horizontally on the mountainside facing the lake to confirm whether there is a treasure."
"Okay!" Mo Lan flapped his wings to urge the start of work.
The throne of dominance takes off, choose your location.
Long Bai dug a hole in the front.
Mo Lan used an animal skin bag to transport soil from behind.
The same thing has been done a lot, the cooperation is skillful and the efficiency is high.
Five days later, a tunnel with a depth of 80 meters was dug inward, and finally encountered a stone wall hardened by the earth element.
Zikui Mountain is huge and the treasure house is hidden deep in the mountain.
The next step is to find the entrance to the treasure house.
As usual, it must be on the side facing the reservoir.
But there are no steep cliffs, so it is difficult to determine the location of the excavation. Longbai can't think of a better way. He can only find those relatively steep slopes. Mo Lan points out the location, and Longbai moves his claws and vertically Dig straight down.
Practice has proved that Mo Lan is not sure about this kind of exploration that does not involve fluctuations in the force, and has missed eleven consecutive points.
The sun in the sky is getting brighter day by day.
Long Bai rushed to Feiguang Mountain in a hurry to complete the harvest of the seeds given by Feiguang God.
Further northwest, go to Baifan Mountain to observe the growth status of the seeds given by the Baifan God, and at the same time complete the traveling merchant trade in early summer.
Explain to Sang and Baifan that there are many things going on this year, and trading will be suspended for one year in the autumn.
There is no need to go to Ghost Fan Mountain and Black Lotus Lake.
Start from Baifanshan and go straight to Zikuishan to continue digging.
The roar of lightning lights up the night sky.
The morning after a rainstorm.
The Throne of Control stops on a steep slope near the top of the mountain.
Long Bai is responsible for digging.
Mo Lan was responsible for lifting soil.
Silent and tacit cooperation.
Another day under the scorching sun.
Late at night, when he was about to finish his work and rest, Long Bai swept his mental energy to the side, took a long breath, and muttered:
"Damn locusts, what do they think? The passage opens at the top of the mountain!”
“Found it?” Mo Lan whispered.
“Found it.” Long Bai replied calmly and climbed out of the pit.
——Finally found it.
Long Bai and Mo Lan were relieved and returned to the throne to rest and regain their original strength.
In the middle of the night, we excavated again and worked until early morning to clear out the entrance of the cave.
Through the winding entrance passage and into the wide hall, there are a large number of dead branches and leaves. The air rushes in and is quickly carbonized and crushed.
The remnant of a certain kind of mulberry tree given by the gods.
On the left and right sides of the hall, there are two passages, spiraling downward.
First enter the passage on the left to check. Every once in a while there is a cave that stores raw stones, where the remains of the God-given seeds cut into pieces are stacked.
Nothing else was discovered until the end.
Enter the passage on the right again, the same layout, with caves where the relics of God-given seeds are piled at regular intervals.
Walking quickly along the way, I scanned and checked with my mental power, but found nothing else. The two passages meet at the bottom of a circular cave with a diameter of about 30 meters.
In the center of the cave is a statue of a Locust tribe warrior carved from brown-red rock. The surrounding stone walls are engraved with various patterns and texts, which mainly record information about operating the territory and cultivating plants. They also describe and record what happened in the past. some major events.
“Longbai!”
Mo Lan raised her paw and pointed at the dome of the cave.
Long Bai then raised his head.
Carved above are three big trees, one tall and two short. There is no doubt that they were all king-level god-given seeds provided by the tribe, and the remains in the cave were left behind by them.
The two short trees on the side are mulberry trees of unknown species that were given by God.
There is a tall tree in the middle. The height of the tree is more than twice as high as the mulberry tree. At first glance, it looks like a Ziziphus jujube tree. But if you look closely, it is clearly a Ziziphus jujube tree!
Mo Lan: "Southern Sour Dates?"
Long Bai: "That's right!"
Mo Lan's frustration was swept away, "Use the remains of the king-level Ziziphus jujube god-given seed as fertilizer to irrigate the wild Ziziphus jujube tree in Nanzijuo Mountain. The effect will definitely be very good!"
Long Bai: "Theoretically, that's the case."
Mo Lan: "Try it!"
Long Bai: "Try it."
Wild God's Gift The seeds grow too slowly.
Originally, Long Bai had decided to give up the god-given seed of the South Jujube, but now that he had found its sibling, he could cultivate it accordingly.
The round trip from Nanzijuo Mountain to Zikui Mountain takes about four or five days. It just takes some time to transport and does not waste other resources.
Long Bai: "Mo Lan, we have been delayed in Zikui Mountain for a long time. Let's go, pack a few bags and go back."
"Where is Shuo Jin?" Mo Lan suddenly felt a little worried. Not willing to give in.
Needless to say, Shuo Jin has probably been taken away by a certain locust clan insect king who left.
Long Bai was also unwilling. He turned around and swept his mental energy towards the sculpture of the Locust Warrior in the cave, but couldn't find any gap.
Step forward, wave your claws and try to cut. The king-level earth element ability is solidified, and the tip of your toe cuts across without leaving any trace.
Long Bai flapped his wings and took off, hung the dome upside down, and searched carefully, but did not find any hidden mechanisms.
Mo Lan crawled along the cave wall and looked carefully, but found nothing.
"Mo Lan, forget it." Long Bai landed.
"All the good things have been taken away."
Mo Lan was discouraged and did not have much hope for the other 8 tribes that once had Shuojin given by Ye Xiang's divine seed.
It is said that the information is worth 100 million, but in fact, I am afraid that it is not worth even one rough stone.
I also know the seed given by the god of night fragrance, so I give it away for free.
……
Long Bai and Mo Lan returned to the throne, took the spider silk bag, filled 6 bags of god-given remains, and set off back to Xianglan Mountain.
Take a short rest and set off again.
……
The dusk is sinking.
Bai Liu flew along the shore of Black Lotus Lake, suddenly sank, grabbed a herring, climbed straight up, a black shadow passed by, stopped suddenly, and landed vertically at the entrance of the ant nest in the mountain range.
The worker ants swarmed up, cut the herring into pieces, moved them back to the ant nest, and fed them to the blue ants for refinement.
What is rare is that this year the Longbai Ant King has not come to pick up Heiti.
In the forest at the foot of the mountain, Heiti is directing the ant colony, working overtime to reclaim wasteland, cut down trees, dig tree stems, clear weeds, turn soil, clear gravel, raise ridges, and build fruit orchards and seedlings.
Division of labor, Bailiu is responsible for hunting for the ant colony. He flutters his wings and takes off. Just as he is about to return to the lakeside, he suddenly stops, flips on his back and side in the air, faces the north, and looks intently.
The familiar fluctuations in the Force come from far to near.
Soon, blue spots came into view.
The Throne of Control is heading this way.
Bai Liu's figure flashed and stepped forward to greet him.
"Long Bai Ant King...Mo Lan..."
"Where is Heiti? Have you rested?" Long Bai asked.
"...Have a rest."
Bai Liu replied, adjusted his posture, and flew beside the throne, asking:
"Longbai Ant King, Mo Lan, you want to bring Hei Did Ti go to the southeastern desert?"
Mo Lan: "Yes. We will give Hei Ti a share of the rough stones."
Long Bai: "It will be half a year's work at most. I must have sent Heiti back before, but he will have nothing to do with him in the future and will stay in Black Lotus Lake to plant trees.”
"Oh——"
Bai Liu was a little happier when he heard this, and announced the good news: "Longbai Ant King, the azure tree is bearing fruit!"
