"The last time... was probably when I came back from Beidou College, probably in November." Ying Xiao saw that Lu Ping and Su Tang were both serious, so he temporarily put aside his ecstasy over discovering the resurrection of the magical medicine, and tried to recall it before saying.
At this time, Lu Ping had jumped back from the pit and shook his head at Su Tang.
"Have you forgotten? They are underground, so you can't see them this way." Su Tang said to Lu Ping.
"I just want to see if anyone is active outside." Lu Ping said.
"I think it should be near here. If it's too far away, it won't affect the changes in the water and soil here." Su Tang said.
Lu Ping nodded, and Mo Lin also squatted down, scooped up some mud and sniffed it.
"Can you find anything?" Lu Ping asked him. Although Mo Lin's medical skills have been criticized by them, judging from his ability to use poison, he is indeed very proficient in pharmacology.
"It should be discarded medicine residues that got here in some way and became like this." Molin said and began to look around the quagmire, looking for clues around it.
"I knew I should have brought two buckets over here." Ying Xiao was immersed in his own regrets at this time.
"This way." Mo Lin made a discovery after walking around and greeted everyone. Lu Ping and Su Tang immediately approached. Ying Xiao was still lamenting that he didn't bring a container, and looked over when he heard the sound.
This is the side of the quagmire against the wall of the pit. The snow has been swept away by Molin. Below is the hard frozen soil. Molin patted it but found no soft spots.
"Break open this place." Mo Lin pointed. He couldn't survive with such strength.
Su Tang slapped it with his palm, and the frozen soil cracked. Molin dug down layer by layer, and finally dug up a handful of mud from under the frozen soil.
"Look." Mo Lin proudly showed the handful of mud to several people. Lu Ping and Su Tang lowered their bodies together and turned over the piece three times. Under the hard layer of hard soil, there is an undercurrent hidden. Although the flow cannot be seen, it is indeed the same mud as in the quagmire.
"Following here, you should be able to find the source." Molin said.
That's what they say, but this undercurrent is several meters deep underground, and no trace can be seen on the surface outside the pit. If you want to follow this, you can only dig a passage underground. .
"If we weren't in this bitter cold place, there would be something I could do." Mo Lin shook his head and sighed. He took out a few seeds from the medicine bag, looked at them and threw them away with regret. Almost no plants can survive in the bitter cold land, and these seeds have already frozen to death in just a few days in this environment. Otherwise, you can use the characteristics of the fog-hunting grass to find the source of medicine.
"Isn't it just digging a hole? It's simple." Ying Xiao said.
"Oh?" The three of them looked at him together.
"I'll find a collection team to come over. They are the best at this kind of thing." Ying Xiao said.
"Then please." Lu Ping said. He had planned to keep looking for it no matter how hard and troublesome it was, even if he dug it himself. But since Yingxiao has a better plan, of course he won't refuse.
"You guys wait here. I'll go look for it." Ying Xiao said as he jumped out of the pit, looking into the distance like Lu Ping did, and then left after recognizing the direction.
"I'll pretend to be a little bit of this, and I'll study it later." Molin took out a few medicine bottles from his arms, grabbed some mud and put them in the small bottles. Lu Ping suddenly stood up at this moment and looked up.
"You are so heartless! Just let him go like this?" Two figures appeared on the upper edge. It was Leng Qing and Xu Weifeng who had disappeared since they approached Erlu Village. They were standing above looking at them. It was Leng Qing who spoke.
"Where have you been?" Lu Ping asked.
"That's Erdao's village. We would only approach it if we were crazy. Of course we will find a place outside the village to wait for you to come out." Leng Qing said.
Lu Ping nodded, pointed to his feet and said, "This is it."
"I heard it." Leng Qing said, jumping down together with Xu Weifeng and walking over.
"You really don't doubt him at all?" Leng Qing said.
"I'm actually skeptical," Molin said, "but with the big boss here, no matter what he does, he will only be unlucky."
"Will it be a four-way road from here?" Leng Qing touched the mud on the ground and said.
"I'm not sure." Lu Ping said. There seems to be some connection between the organization and the Fourth Road, but Lu Ping is still unclear about what is going on.
"Wait." Leng Qing said nothing more. She and Xu Weifeng did not stay here. They went outside the pit together, keeping a distance from each other and not having much communication. About an hour later, Leng Qing suddenly said "here", and then she and Xu Weifeng reported separately. After a while, Ying Xiao came back with more than ten people.
"That's it." Ying Xiao pointed down, and more than ten people rushed down. The three of them, Lu Ping, stood aside. When these people saw the three of them, they ignored them. The first one went to the quagmire and took a look. Then he touched the mud in the undercurrent that Lu Ping and the others dug out. He nodded, waved to everyone and said, "Follow it." This digs.”
More than ten people followed and started getting busy. Some had customized settings, some controlled the soil, some raised their feet and stamped the ground, some waved their fingers and poked. The last one to take action was their leader. A copper stick he was holding in his hand was suddenly sent out and sank into the bottom. Following the others, they were busy again, and finally it was this person's turn to take the lead. This time, he pulled the copper rod out of the ground. However, with this pull, a large cylindrical piece was brought out. In the frozen soil, a section of an underground passage has been dug out.
"How's it going? Is it effective?" Ying Xiao came to the three of them and said a little proudly.
"Awesome!" Lu Ping and the others were deeply impressed. These people have formed a system in this matter by using their powers, and their cooperation with each other is extremely tacit. Everyone performed their duties, and saw the frozen soil being pulled out from the ground section by section, and it was already several meters deep in the blink of an eye.
"I've made it clear to them, and they will figure it out. They are all experts in this area," Ying Xiao said.
"Thank you for your hard work," Lu Ping said.
"It's not all for you." Ying Xiao said.
"how?"
"Where the Fourth Road is hidden is what we have always wanted to know." Ying Xiao said.
"Oh." Lu Ping nodded.
"I will inform the village later, do you mind?" Ying Xiao asked.
"Not at all." Lu Ping shook his head.
"Where did those two guys go? Why didn't they show up?" Ying Xiao muttered afterwards.
"They came when you left." Lu Ping said.
"Oh, they should do the same thing." Ying Xiao said.
"You are free to do as you like. There is only one thing." Lu Ping said.
"What?"
"If you make up your mind about Beidou Academy's things, then we will have a conflict." Lu Ping said.
