"This is already the fifth day." The snake girl leaned against the tree stump and took off the pine needles from her hair, trying to stay presentable even though she was tired.
"Yes, it's not easy to search for sand!" Jin Huan sighed. She had already folded her wings and followed everyone around the mountains, looking left and right to see where there might be hidden treasures. Treasure hunting is more interesting than searching for sand.
Jin Huan has been thinking about it these days. When she finds enough cold iron sand, she must refine a set of golden needles to use with the invisible sword. In this way, her attack methods will be more diverse, and the invisible sword can be used as a killing move. , more hidden.
"Everyone, hold on, the cold iron sand in Quicksand Mountain is accompanied by water. If you want to find the water source, the sand will not be far away." Zhan Yu firmly believed that the idea of looking for sand should be correct.
As for the immediate difficulties, Zhan Yu didn't care. How could there be no difficulties if he wanted to find the treasure? If the cold iron sand was easy to find, I'm afraid it would have been excavated long ago.
Qianmu was the most determined, and he still searched patiently and carefully for several days.
Zhan Yu encouraged: "If there is no harvest before the sun goes down, let's find a place to camp. We have enough food and wine tonight, so please be patient now!"
"good!"
Amid the cheers of his companions, Zhan Yu once again bent his head to the ground. In this quicksand mountain, his spiritual consciousness was sealed and his scent was obscured by ice and snow. Although his Dharma Eyes were of great use in detecting voids and breaking forbidden rules, they were useless in this mountain. It is very useful. Among the six senses, hearing is the most useful in this mountain.
"Shh!"
Zhan Yu, who was lying on the ground, signaled everyone to silence. Seeing this, Qian Mu also leaned down to listen to the sounds coming from the ground.
"Qianmu, do you hear that this sound is intermittent and regular?" Zhan Yu said excitedly with his ears close to the ground.
"It's a little different."
Qianmu frowned, listened carefully, and said unsurely: "This sound seems to be in the southwest."
Seeing the two demons still lying on the ground whispering to each other from time to time, the snake girl couldn't help but become anxious and asked: "Did you find anything?"
Jin Huan also came around and said, "Yes, yes, what did you find?"
"There seems to be the sound of water flowing in the southwest." Seeing that his companions had gathered around him, Zhan Yu said.
When the snake girl heard this, she was no longer tired and said excitedly: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go to the southwest and have a look!"
Jin Huan also said happily: "Yes, yes, go and see, go and see!"
The two banshees, the Golden Ring and the Snake Girl, talk about everything. Nowadays, the Golden Ring has a tendency to become the Snake Girl's repeater.
Zhan Yu stood up and no longer hesitated. He just went to check if there was any water source, so he said, "Okay, everyone, be careful. Let's go check it out now!"
Zhan Yu walked in front with his sword and shield in hand, and Qian Mu held two maces behind him. Everyone was on guard and headed southwest.
This journey has not been easy. Before I awakened my bloodline and embarked on the path of cultivation, I had to hibernate before the heavy snow came. Now, even though I have entered the demon path, I still instinctively feel uncomfortable walking in the ice and snow.
If the water source can be found, it's time to prepare a place to rest at night. Only a comfortable cave with a bonfire, hot food, and strong wine can drive away the hatred of the cold in the bones. Zhan Yu, who thought of taking the lead here, couldn't help but speed up his pace.
…
"Wow!"
Beside a secret mountain stream, a group of five demons were washing the sand. A demon wearing a yellow animal skin skirt was standing guard. The others went into the water, picked up the sediment from the bottom of the stream, and put it into a stone basin. , rinse continuously.
"who!"
The demon cultivator in the animal skin skirt who was on sentry duty on the shore twitched his ears and realized that other beachcombers had entered his alert range, and he couldn't help but shout loudly.
The demon cultivator who was washing the sand immediately put down his tools, jumped up to the demon cultivator in the animal skin skirt, and displayed their weapons one after another. Among them, there was a tiger-headed demon cultivator who was calm and graceful. He looked like he was in this group. The boss of Taosha Ke.
The rather dignified tiger-headed brother looked at the surrounding dense forest and said loudly: "Comrades, can you show up to see me?"
"Pulling"
Birds kept flying by, causing the snow to fall from the branches. The surroundings were silent for a while, and the atmosphere was just frozen here.
Leaning slightly, he saw that there was no movement around, and the tiger-headed brother said: "This place has been discovered by my brother for many days. If a colleague happens to find this place, please choose another treasure place."
Behind the trees, Zhan Yu carefully looked at the group of sand washers, and paid special attention to the stone basin with sand wash tools placed on the shore. He sighed slightly in his heart, yes, this is indeed a sand wash place, but it is a pity that there are already sand washers. Guests arrive first.
However, it was a reward to see with my own eyes how the scroungers in Quicksand Mountain found Hantiesha, so I gently gestured to my companions to retreat.
"Huang San, are you making a mistake?"
Seeing that his boss shouted several times but there was no movement, a demon cultivator behind the tiger-headed brother couldn't help but ask about the animal skin skirt.
Brother Hutou waved his hand to stop the questioning of the brothers behind him, and said: "It is probably a newcomer to the mountain who did not understand the rules and entered this place by mistake. He has probably retreated now."
The animal skin skirt named Huang San was afraid that everyone would misunderstand. He pointed in the direction where Zhan Yu and the demons had been, lowered his head and explained to his companions: "I did hear a sound just now, coming from over there."
"Huang San did a good job. There are many ruthless people in the quicksand mountain. Although I am not afraid of waiting, I can't make a big mistake."
Brother Hutou looked at Huang San, who was a little nervous, and said for a moment: "Huang San joined our gang later, but now that he has joined, he is his brother, and we must trust each other in the future."
"yes, Sir."
The brothers behind Brother Hutou agreed one after another.
In the blink of an eye, the sun sets and the mountains quickly fall into darkness.
Zhan Yujiyao was hiding in an inconspicuous cave and had already set up a bonfire.
The meat was roasting on the fire, and the meat was brushed with honey. It squeaked, and oil dripped from time to time. The four demons took advantage of the heat, peeled off the meat, and chewed it with salt.
There is an earthen pit next to it. The fire is burning brightly in the pit. There is a three-legged stone cauldron on top of the pit. It is a pot for cooking soup. The pot is full of treasures and elixirs. The soup water is boiling under the flames. The fresh smell overflows.
With one mouthful of meat and one mouthful of soup, Zhan Yu is sure that at this moment, the four black swamp monsters are the most comfortable surfers in the quicksand mountain.
A large pot of tonic soup entered the abdomen, and the power of the medicine spread from the stomach, and then the limbs were relaxed. The four demons each breathed in and absorbed the power of the medicine, tempering their bodies. After a long time, the four demons exhaled a breath of turbid air at the same time, and the power of the medicine had been absorbed.
Zhan Yu sorted out his thoughts and said, "Everyone must have seen clearly the group of beachcombers today, right?"
"The five of them are all masters of the demon core realm, especially the tiger-headed demon cultivator, who is the strongest among them and is difficult to deal with." Qian Mu looked at the wall and said in a deep voice.
"I saw them using stone basins to pick up the sediment from the bottom of the water and rinse it continuously. I think the cold iron sand was washed out from the sediment at the bottom of the water." Snake Girl recalled the scene at that time.
"I don't know how other sand scroungers do it. The method of that group of sand scroungers seems to be relatively slow. If there is any way to separate the sand of different sizes, it will definitely be much faster." Jin Huan frowned, His black gem-like eyes kept flashing, and he had already thought of the key to scouring the sand.
"good."
Zhan Yu couldn't help but praise Jin Huan's mind. If he didn't have past life memories, he might not be as far-reaching as Jin Huan, and then said: "I already have a method, but the key issue now is to find a water source with sand. "
"While walking along the way, I have thought that the water sources outside the Quicksand Mountain are probably already owned. We are looking for wealth in danger. We might as well go deeper into the mountain and we will definitely gain something."
"I agree. I have wanted to refine a magic weapon for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had the materials. This cold iron sand just meets my requirements." Qianmu patted Zhan Yu's shoulder hard. Regarding the attitude of seeking wealth in danger, I couldn't help but applaud.
Qianmu has a calm and calm temperament, but now he is a little anxious. It seems that everyone's strength has improved and they are eager to increase the power of the magic weapon.
"It's time to buy some magic weapons. It's better to give it a try than to be timid. Besides, with the strength of the few of us, we are not weak in the Quicksand Mountain. At least we are not weaker than the tiger-headed demon and his gang." The snake girl met Taosha Ke. With the strength and confidence in his heart, he agreed.
"I agree too. I have long wanted to have a set of golden needles!" Jin Huan nodded in agreement.
"Since there is no objection, let's have a good rest tonight and set off tomorrow."
Seeing that everyone was united in thinking, Zhan Yu became more confident about this trip to the sand.
