Walking deeper into Quicksand Mountain, the bright white snow becomes thicker and thicker, the biting wind becomes stronger and stronger, and the traces of birds and animals become less and less.
A brown squirrel braved the cold wind without hesitation and plunged into the mountains.
The squirrel looked panic-stricken and kept jumping on the branches. It looked back from time to time, as if there was some ghost behind it.
No!
For it, this group of monsters that have become spirits is more terrifying than ghosts. Grandma, you are so powerful, why do you keep following an inconspicuous little squirrel like me?
The little meat on my body is not enough for you to stuff between your teeth, and the squirrel meat is not delicious either!
It has been three days. This group of monsters has driven this squirrel around, denying him food, drink, or rest. If this continues, I will become the first squirrel in this mountain to die of hunger, thirst, and sleepiness.
No, I'm too thirsty. I want to drink water. I will drink water even if I die. Otherwise, I will die.
The squirrel quickly jumped towards a water source he had discovered.
"Is Zhan Yu's method feasible?" The snake girl hanging leisurely not far behind the squirrel asked boredly.
It's really not that difficult to track a young squirrel that hasn't become a sperm yet, don't take it too easy.
"This is a stupid method, but the beasts in the mountains must have their own drinking water. This squirrel is almost done. It will lead us to find the water source." Zhan Yuzhizhu said, throwing a stone casually and it fell on the squirrel. Behind him, it was so frightened that it suddenly accelerated its speed.
Jin Huan, who was following the snake girl, held his hands in hope and said, "I hope the squirrel will take us to find the water source quickly, so that it can be freed. It is also very hard!"
The squirrel running in front changed direction without slowing down, and suddenly disappeared into the dense forest, disappearing from the eyes of the four demons.
Zhan Yu sped up and followed him. Just as he crossed the corner, the environment in front of him suddenly changed.
This is a hidden small valley. A stream slowly flows out from the dense forest. On the cobblestones beside the stream, there are exposed bones. The little squirrel is drinking water desperately. Zhan Yu is not driving it away with stones this time. .
The squirrel glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye and had already seen the monsters, but it couldn't care about that much anymore and wanted to drink enough first.
But for some reason, the yellow-faced monster headed by it didn't throw any more stones at it.
The squirrel finally drank water successfully. After drinking, he immediately ran towards the tree again. Looking back, he found that the monsters had not followed.
Could it be that these monsters were also tired? They squeaked happily and disappeared into the dense forest.
"I just said this squirrel's way of leading the way works, and it does!"
Zhan Yu squatted on the edge of the stream and put his hand into the water. He felt that the water was not as cold as he thought.
The cold iron sand should have been buried underground, but it was brought out of the surface by the current. The source of this water is probably not underground, which is why the water in the small stream is not frozen.
He grabbed a handful of sand and let the sand in his hand be washed away by the stream. Sure enough, a few bits of fine silver sand flowed into the water from his fingertips: "This stream is larger than the stream occupied by the tiger-headed demon that day, and The bottom of the water is very thick with sand, and I’m afraid it hasn’t been dug up by beachcombers for a long time. This is good news!”
At this time, Jin Huan was already cheering, hugging Snake Girl happily: "Finally found it, thanks to that squirrel, we found the place where the sand is hidden so quickly!"
"He's also a demon, but Zhan Yu's head doesn't look surprising. How come he always finds a way!"
While the snake girl was happy, she couldn't help but sigh. She turned to Zhan Yu and said, "Zhan Yu, how did your head grow?"
Zhan Yu felt relaxed and joked: "I still have many good ideas in my head, and I will show them to everyone one by one in the future!"
"Okay, okay, I hope brother Zhan Yu will continue to bring surprises so that the road will not be boring!" Jin Huan looked at Zhan Yu and said with an admiring gesture.
Zhan Yu waved his hands and said with a smile: "Don't praise me, otherwise there will be no surprises for everyone in the future, and there will be pressure!
Qianmu felt warm as she watched everyone laughing and joking. It was true that Mr. Luo had told him to listen to Zhan Yu's advice more on the way south. Jiang is still hotter.
He glanced around. This Quicksand Mountain was already the last stop that the four demons of the Black Swamp could predict. After passing this mountain and going south, there was a vast and dark world. The road to the south was still far away!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become vigilant. As the longest-cultivating demon among the four demons, he had the responsibility to protect this moment of peace.
After a while, seeing that it was almost time to rest, Zhan Yu clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said: "Time is precious, let's get back to business and take action, and strive to clear out the cold iron sand in this creek as soon as possible and refine it. The magic weapon I want!"
"Just do it as Zhan Yu said!" Snake Girl said enthusiastically, and she was full of energy when talking about the magic weapon.
"Yes, yes!" Jin Huan also said after Snake Girl.
"Okay, then I'll tell you directly."
Zhan Yu looked at his friends and said: "The four of us, like the tiger-headed demon and his gang, leave one on guard while the other three are scouring the sand. In order for everyone to be in good condition, we take turns."
After saying this, Zhan Yu turned to look at Qianmu and said: "Brother Qianmu is the most stable, and this first round of security tasks will be left to you.
Later, a mark will be carved on the tree trunk at the entrance of the valley to indicate that there is an owner here. If other beachcombers see this and want to force their way into the valley, they will not be polite!
Having said that, as long as you are not a demon who has cultivated the soul, there is nothing to be afraid of. After many days in the mountain, I have only seen demon cultivators in the demon elixir realm wandering around in the mountains. It is estimated that the demon cultivators in the soul realm also look down on people like Han Tiesha. treasure. "
"Leave it to me, no problem."
Qianme took over the task and took action, turning around and walking towards the mouth of the valley.
"I've already prepared how to get the cold iron sand. Here are a few wooden basins and stone shovels I prepared in advance."
Zhan Yu showed them one by one, and then took Snake Girl and Jin Huan to the cold stream and said: "I drilled and polished nearly a hundred small holes with wide tops and narrow bottoms at the bottom of three of them. Demonstrate how to use it.”
"We can put the sediment into the leaky basin and shake it continuously. The fine sand will flow into the basin through the small holes. In this way, the larger sand and gravel can be directly removed. We can wash the remaining ones carefully and quickly. Speed it up a lot.”
The reason is very simple. Once the two partners know it, the three of them will start scouring the sand directly.
It was only when we started scouring that we realized how hard it was to scouring the sand. Bits and pieces of cold iron sand were mixed in the mud, and there were many fine sands with similar particle sizes.
Even if the three people gather the fine sand together, they still have to wash it repeatedly, using the difference in weight to wash away useless impurities over and over again. This is a process that is constantly repeated.
At this moment, Zhan Yu wished he had a magnet from his previous life in his hand. It would not be easy to collect cold iron sand like that!
