"Brother Shangguan, what's wrong?" Wuyazi asked in confusion.
"I just felt a strange aura from this stone pillar. This stone pillar is very strange. We'd better not touch it." The middle-aged man Shangguan Hongming said with a frown.
"The stone pillar is weird? It's impossible, it's just a pillar."
Wu Yazi did not believe in evil, so he stretched out a hand and put it on the stone pillar to detect the changes on the stone pillar, but did not detect the aura Shangguan Hongming mentioned.
"Brother Shangguan, you are worrying too much. I haven't noticed any changes. This stone pillar is just an ordinary pillar." Wu Yazi said disapprovingly.
"My fellow Taoists don't know. My practice of Kung Fu is different from that of ordinary people. I can sense and detect things that are beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"Fellow Daoist Shangguan's technique is so mysterious. It seems that there is something wrong with this stone pillar."
Wu Yazi has known the middle-aged Shangguan Hongming for a long time, and he believed what he said. After looking at the colorful stone pillars in front of him, Wu Yazi stopped talking.
"Fellow Taoists, this colorful stone pillar is very strange. Please don't touch this stone pillar." The middle-aged man Shangguan Hongming said to Shen Luo and his group.
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, we won't touch it until we know it." Ye Mei, the woman in red, nodded.
Shen Luo looked at the stone pillar up and down, but did not come into contact with the colorful stone pillar.
Du Jie didn't take Shangguan Hongming's words to heart at all. He didn't care whether it was weird or not, as long as it was good, he would definitely get it.
His eyes were shining brightly as he looked at the stones of different colors on the stone pillars. Could these stones be rare and unknown iron concentrates?
Although he had this thought in his heart, due to what Shangguan Hongming said just now, he did not go up to touch the stone pillar to check it out under the attention of everyone.
He could only figure out that when Shen Qiu and others left this place, he would quietly stay and dig out the rocks above alone.
They don't want the iron concentrate here, but Dujie wants it.
"There are two passages here. It seems that we have to divide our troops into two groups to explore."
The middle-aged man Shangguan Hongming came to the entrance of the two passages and said:
"There are five of us, how should we allocate the two channels?" Wu Yazi said.
"This is not easy. Fellow Daoist Shangguan, Fellow Daoist Wuyazi, and Ye Xianzi are in a team. Fellow Daoist Jiang and I are in a separate team to investigate." Du Jie stepped forward and suggested.
When the middle-aged man Shangguan Hongming heard this, he did not immediately respond to Du Jie's suggestion. Instead, he turned to look at Shen Luo and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, what do you think?"
Shen Luo didn't know why Du Jie proposed to team up with him, but he did not refuse the proposal and nodded to express that he had no objection.
After receiving Shen Luo's affirmation, the middle-aged man Shangguan Hongming said: "Okay, Fellow Daoist Du, you and fellow Daoist Jiang will form a team, and I will form a team with Fellow Daoist Ye Xianzi and Wu Yazi. We will enter a channel separately. If there is anything on one side, If found, exit immediately and notify the other party.”
"Okay, let's do this as fellow Taoist Shangguan." Shen Qiu replied.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, the three of us will take the first step."
The middle-aged man Shangguan Hongming said something to Shen Luo, then greeted Wu Yazi and Ye Mei, and took the lead to step into the passage.
Shen Luo watched Shangguan Hongming and his party enter, and said to Du Jie, "Fellow Daoist Du, let's go too."
After saying that, he stepped out and entered another passage.
Du Jie responded and deliberately fell behind Shen Luo. After taking two or three steps behind Shen Luo, he stepped back and came to the colorful stone pillar.
"Such a good quarry material cannot be let go easily."
Du Jie greedily stretched out a hand and pressed it on a red stone inlaid with a stone pillar.
"Shangguan Hongming is really good at bluffing people. I can't detect anything strange in the stone pillars."
With a disdainful word, Du Jie patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a spiritual stone pickaxe used for mining, and struck a dark green stone on the colorful stone pillar.
There was a "bang" sound.
The stone pickaxe hit the stone pillar and made a sound, and the entire colorful stone pillar shook slightly visible to the naked eye.
Du Jie kept waving the spiritual stone pickaxe in his hand, and finally pried the dark green stone. He grabbed the loose place of the stone with one hand and pulled the stone away.
"Bang!"
The dark green stone taken off with too much force flew out of his hand and fell heavily to the ground not far away.
Du Jie, who had no time to worry, quickly stepped forward to the dark green stone, holding it in his hand to inspect it as if he were holding a rare treasure.
As soon as he picked up the dark green stone, he saw a large corner of the dark green stone remaining on the ground where it had been dropped.
"Why did one of my rocks break?"
Du Jie looked at the broken stones in front of him with heartache, and then when he saw the broken dark green stones on the ground suddenly moved.
"Huh?"
Du Jie was surprised for a moment, then pushed aside the dark green stones on the ground with one hand, and saw a strange, dark green insect about the size of a fingernail appearing in front of his eyes.
"Here, how come there are bugs here!"
"Could it be that…"
Du Jie thought of something and turned over the dark green stone in his hand. There was an opening on it.
When he saw the broken stone mouth, it was more accurate to say that there were many insects inside the stone that looked the same as what he saw in front of him. They were more or less sleeping in the inside of the stone.
Only a few, very few bugs, like the bug that appeared just now, were awakened from their long slumber by the unusual movement of stones.
A piece of stone was full of insects, which shocked Du Jie.
Only then did he realize that what he was holding was not an iron concentrate at all, but something similar to a rock-block insect egg shell.
He was so disgusted with bugs that he threw the dark green stone in his hand and crushed the bug that just appeared in front of him to death.
After doing this, he looked at the colorful stone pillars. Thinking of the many bugs inside the stones, his scalp felt numb and nauseated, and he left here without looking back.
However, after he took a few steps, there was a chaotic sound behind him.
Turning around and looking behind him, he saw that all the insects in the stone he had thrown came to life and crawled out of the stone-like insect eggs.
These bugs gathered together in dense swarms. They did not do anything or launch any attacks. They gathered together and made the same sound.
When Du Jie was a little confused, he saw from the corner of his eye many stone-shaped insect egg pillars on the side, and the stone insect eggs on them emitted the same light as the stones.
"These bugs are awakening other bugs inside the eggs."
Du Jie secretly thought something was wrong and quickly used his magic weapon to hit the bug in front of him that made a sound.
"boom!"
With a flash of inspiration, under the explosion, most of the bugs that made the sound died instantly, leaving only a small number of bugs left.
Du Jie felt lucky for himself. When he was vulnerable to these insects, the stone pillars glowed and many stones broke one after another.
Many bugs with the same color as the stones crawled out from the eggs of the stones and gathered together with the remaining dark green bugs.
Next, something unspeakably strange happened.
