Chapter 290 This is not the tradition of the exile
On their way to search for the Dark Iron in Youshan, the boys battled wits and courage with the old man who could not walk when he saw poisonous things every day.
Win and lose half and half.
The boys would show up every now and then with pig faces on their faces, and after stumbling and falling, they finally got the clues.
Compared with the towering ancient trees along the way, there is a feeling of sudden enlightenment in the depths of the mountains.
A large area of trees here were cut down, leaving only old tree stumps on the ground. The newly grown trees are young and low in height, and the view is much wider than outside.
There were traces of mining at one end of the bushes. The excavated mine was extremely large. Perhaps due to the long time, the mine was covered with a thick layer of rotten leaves.
By digging up the rotten leaves and soil on the ground, you can find fallen fragments of underworld iron and the bones buried underneath.
It should be that the miner who was in charge of mining died here. It is unknown whether it was an accidental death or he was silenced.
Unfortunately, the mine has collapsed, making it impossible to explore inside and find out the specific situation inside the mine.
Poison Invulnerability finally came in handy at this point. "The rotten soil above the bones must have taken at least twenty to thirty years to form. Taking into account the forest's perennially humid environment, it must have taken at least twenty years to decay. Also, judging by the color of the toxins attached to the bones, the timeframe is consistent. This mine must have been operating for twenty years."
Bai Xiaofeng stepped on the soft, damp earth, his brows furrowed slightly. "So, twenty years ago, someone was using strange forbidden techniques to create the living dead, but for all these years, there's been no unusual activity in the martial arts world... The person behind this is plotting something big, and the time to act hasn't arrived yet."
Just from the scale of the mine, one can imagine the mining scene back then. There is definitely quite a lot of Nether Iron in the world.
Judging from the amount of Hellmetal used on the living dead and living puppets they had recently encountered, the number of living dead controlled by the person behind the scenes was probably in the tens of thousands. Such a huge number...
If deployed on the battlefield, it will surely be a powerful and extraordinary force!
Everyone present was not stupid. After seeing the huge mine with their own eyes and the countless bones buried under the rotten soil, the real purpose of the people behind the scenes began to surface.
The other party aims to rule the entire continent.
Once the time comes, that person will take action and lead his troops to conquer.
By then, there will be wars everywhere, and people will suffer and live in misery.
The bearded man's eyes were cold and gloomy. "It seems we can't sit idle after we go back."
Bai Xiaofeng said calmly, "Although the exile area is temporarily safe, no one can escape unscathed when the nest is overturned. We really need to make preparations early."
Du Buqin nodded, "We must also tell Duan Dao about this matter and ask him to tell Wei Li to take precautions early."
If the world is in chaos, you won't be able to find peace anywhere.
What's more, the place of exile is no longer something they can abandon at any time.
People, if their hearts are attached, they can no longer be cold and hard.
Tianbao squatted in the mine, holding his cheek with his little hands, listening quietly to the adults talking. His little face was too quiet, as if he was in a daze.
"Tianbao, what are you thinking about?" The boy jumped over and squatted with her, holding his cheeks with his delicate hands.
Tian Bao opened his mouth, looking thoughtful. "I'm wondering why that man used the whistle to lure us here. If he had ambitions to conquer the world, he should have kept it hidden until the time was right. Why would he try to lead us to discover his flaws?"
Bai Yu, "..."
He tilted his head to look at the girl's quiet profile and laughed softly.
It turns out that Tianbao knows everything.
"When did you realize the other party's deliberate guidance?"
"Although my whistle isn't very pleasant to blow, the sound is piercing. The people stalking outside Changjing's courtyard should have heard it no matter how far away they were, but there was no movement at all." Tian Bao said calmly, "That time I thought he was afraid of death and didn't dare to come to me, but the old monster Mingshe said he let us into the mountains specially. If a small follower like him dared to do this, he must have been instructed by someone."
Why let them into the mountains? Isn't it just to let them investigate?
However, the other party probably didn't expect that Uncle Beard had an old grudge with the Nether Snake Gang, and by accident, they connected the connections behind several forces.
Bai Yu curled his lips and smiled, "It's true that there are still many mysteries that remain unsolved, but there's no need to rush. The truth will eventually surface. The other party went to such great lengths to lure us into their trap, so we must be of some use to them. We should wait and see how things develop, and then remain unchanged in the face of any changes."
Sweetie, “Yeah.”
She thought so too.
There's no use being anxious.
Thinking too much gives me a headache.
She doesn't like to use her brain.
The two little ones' whispered conversation naturally did not escape the eyes and ears of the three adults. When they looked at each other, there were smiles in their eyes.
Looking at the other three boys digging soil in the mine to make a home for the bones, the adults' smiles disappeared and their faces became long.
It's easy to suffer losses if you are too kind, you bastards!
This is not the tradition of the Exiled Lands!
The matter has come to an end. Although this trip was not perfect, it did gain some things.
Du Buqin rubbed his hands together, his eyes rolling away. "Now that the business is done, it's time for the old man to take over, right? Let's stay for another year or two! The old man wants to collect all the good stuff here! Hehehehe!"
Bai Xiaofeng and Big Beard turned around at the same time, thinking he was daydreaming.
After Su An and the other two gathered the bones and let them rest in peace, they walked over, patting the clay on their hands and bodies. "Grandpa Du, please stop messing around. You've already destroyed everything around here. You should at least leave some descendants for the flowers, plants, snakes, insects, rats, and ants."
Su Wen had a look of pity on his face. "The blind bears turned truly blind, the tigers turned into cats, and the wolves started to act like dogs and ran away with their tails between their legs when they saw you and Tianbao. Grandpa Du, please have some mercy on them. They can make their home in this poisonous forest. The flying insects and beasts also cultivated their abilities. We shouldn't kill them all."
Su Wu looked up and saw a vast expanse of white about ten feet away. He clapped his hands and suggested, "Grandpa Du, compared to flowers, plants, birds and animals, this poisonous mist is the only thing that is inexhaustible. You can decorate as much as you can and take it away. It will be a small consolation!"
Poison-proof, "Get lost!"
The young girl, still squatting in the pit, held her chin with one hand, listening to the old and the young bantering, a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips, "Grandpa Du, we have everything you want."
The old man's expression immediately brightened up, and he walked with his hands behind his back, walking in a hurry. "Let's go home. Grandpa doesn't really want to stay in this crappy place."
Bai Yu's shoulders twitched, and he stood up with Tianbao, ready to catch up with the team, when his feet suddenly trembled slightly.
Tianbao stopped immediately and frowned.
When the ground shook just now, there was something strange about the undead in the space.
