The realm of the far east, the ice valley in the hinterland
At noon, Han Qi and Shui Lianggong led more than 90,000 soldiers and began to dig for treasures at the bottom of the huge valley. Qiye was assigned to a dark corner. Although her heart was still violently uneasy, Qiye still tried her best to suppress her fear. Then he took out the hatchet from his waist and dug a cave in the rock wall pretending to be serious. But Qiye pays more attention to any changes in the surrounding environment. Qiye believes that his fear is not groundless. There must be horrors in this valley that others cannot detect, but it may be because of some special characteristics of himself. Only the reason can be perceived.
Han Qi took Lang Bingwei, Liu Bingwei and Sui Lianggong to a low and shallow depression where thousands of years of treasure may be buried to dig deeper.
"Martial Arts, Moonlight Twilight!" Langbei jumped up and danced his two swords diagonally in mid-air. A low-level yellow-level sword technique was drawn, and two intersecting dusk lines fell.
"Martial Arts, Phantom Snake!" Liu Bingwei immediately rose into the air, drew out the "Nine-curved Silver Snake Sword" from his waist, raised his arm, and thrust out a low-level yellow-level sword technique, forming a huge snake pattern and instantly struck it down. .
"Bang!!!" A deep pit of several meters was blown out of the low depression in an instant. Han Qi and Shui Lianggong hurried forward to check the situation in the depression. Although spiritual power detection could not be used at the bottom of the valley, spiritual power techniques could still be used.
"Hey, no, it seems that the digging is not deep enough." Han Qi and Shui Lianggong looked at each other and said. Immediately afterwards, Yanagei and Wolfei were busy using their skills for a while. The depression had been dug more than twenty meters deep, but there was still no trace of treasure except for the dark gravel.
"Is there no thousand-year-old treasure here? Or is the treasure buried in the deepest part?" Shui Lianggong thought as he stared at the depression.
"Let me come!" Han Qi walked forward a little unsteadily, and then a huge amount of spiritual power was released from Han Qi's body and gathered in his right palm.
"Battle spirit level junior third level..." Shui Lianggong murmured as he looked at the spiritual energy released by Han Qi.
"Martial Arts, Doomsday Ice Explosion!" Han Qi soared into the sky, his right fist condensed ice, and a yellow-level intermediate skill was fired, bringing with it a violent storm and cold oppression.
"Boom!!!" There was a loud noise, and the ice fist as big as a sandbag hit the pit hard, and the dark gravel turned into black dust, flying all over the sky. When the black ash gradually faded away, the original 20 meters of digging suddenly expanded to more than 30 meters deep. After settling down, Han Qi immediately stepped forward and looked carefully at the bottom of the pit, but still found no treasure.
"Damn it! Isn't this thousand-year treasure not in this ice valley?" Han Qi cursed. The attack he just made undoubtedly dug dozens of meters deeper. Now he has found nothing after more than thirty meters. Even after thousands of years of dust, he still can't find anything. It can't be buried that deep.
"Brother Han, don't worry, the bottom of this valley is so big, maybe the treasure is buried in other places." After glancing at the bottom of the pit, Duke Shui Liang focused his gaze on the wide area in front.
"Then let's go look elsewhere..." As he said that, Han Qi walked towards the open area ahead, followed closely by Langbei and Liubei. Seeing the three people walking forward, Shui Lianggong glanced at the dozens of meters thick black stone in the pit for the last time, with various suspicions in his heart.
After walking forward for a long distance, the four of them stopped. This place is beyond the scope of the army's excavation, but if you want to dig all three feet of the huge valley bottom, it will be a big project. And they obviously don't have that much time to spend here.
Han Qi carefully examined the selected area, and found that it was not much different from other places: debris, dark rocks, a desolate surface with no vegetation, and many palm-sized water-filled depressions.
"Try here!" Han Qi decided, and then concentrated his energy again, spread his legs, and when the spiritual energy was sufficient, he punched out.
"Martial skills, ice breaking!" Huang-level low-level boxing skills were used to sweep out with one punch. The rocky area in front was instantly scraped away from the ground debris and rocks, and was completely cleared.
"Hahaha, Brother Han is really extraordinary in martial arts. Huang Jie's martial arts skills have been used so well. Liang is really impressed..." Shui Lianggong praised him when he saw the opportunity.
"Brother Shui Liang is so complimentary. I have heard that Brother Shui Liang is very skilled in martial arts. I wonder if I can show him to you?" Han Qi waved his hand and said jokingly, but after hearing Shui Liang's praise, he felt in his heart Still very comfortable.
"Okay, since Brother Han thinks so highly of him, Liang will no longer hide his clumsiness and show off his ugliness!" Shui Lianggong said with a slight cup of his hand.
After finishing his words, Shui Lianggong took a steady step forward and slowly raised his right hand. An invisible spiritual force quietly formed in the palm of his hand. The accumulated water in the surrounding pools was gradually extracted, and was continuously compressed and rotated into a ball in his palm.
"Martial skills, Ruoshui Sanqian!" With a gentle whisper, Shui Lianggong gently threw his palm into the air. The water ball then soared into the sky and shot out several water columns in mid-air, impacting hard towards the surface of the earth. Like a drill, it blew up the hard rock formations with rapid force and continued to drill into the ground, digging out a hole more than thirty years deep. meters of huge dents.
"It is indeed a high-level Huang-level skill. Its power is really amazing!" The Wolf Soldier Guard on the side couldn't help but sigh.
"That's all, there's nothing to praise about it." Liu Bingwei next to him dismissed it.
"Haha~, Brother Shui Liang is indeed very skilled, Han admires him!" Han Qi praised him back and forth, but although he smiled warmly on the surface, in his heart he was even more wary of Mr. Shui Liang. Huang Jie's advanced martial arts. I didn't expect that even I didn't have a martial arts, but it was practiced to this extent by Shui Lianggong. This man was too deep in the city and had to guard against him.
"Haha~, it's fun to laugh. Brother Han's martial arts is also very good." Shui Lianggong said politely.
After a while of superficial praise, the two walked to the edge of the pit to check the situation at the bottom of the pit, but the situation was still disappointing: there was still nothing except black rock gravel. After searching to no avail, the four of them fell into depression.
"Brother Han, don't be disappointed. There is none here. Let's look elsewhere." Seeing this, Shui Lianggong suggested again.
"Okay, look elsewhere!" Han Qi is not an ordinary person, and he cheered up after being depressed for a while. This time we have worked so hard to get here, but we can't give up after digging a few holes. So, a group of four people continued to search the wider outside world...
At this moment, Qiye was still digging the cave in a dignified manner, pretending to be dignified. Although about a quarter of an hour had passed, Qiye had not dug even 1 meter deep. The surrounding soldiers are all making good progress, and some have dug as deep as one person, but as for what to dig? No one really knows, but the soldiers were simply ordered to find a rare mineral and do what slaves in the mines normally did.
Qiye disagreed with this statement: he didn't think there would be any city lord who would be willing to risk his life to go to an unknown place to cherish the ore, or even bring his own army. Moreover, this time I came not with tools for digging mines, but with weapons. Secondly, judging from the situation that the two city lords personally took action, the things to be excavated must be of extraordinary value. No matter how rare the ore is, it is nothing more than improving one's own spiritual power. The mines mined by each city lord can basically meet their own needs.
Based on his own judgment, Qiye believed that what the two city masters were digging was not as simple as precious ore. Paying such a high price to come all the way means that the value of the things to be excavated must far exceed the lives of so many people. As for what would make the two city lords, regardless of their own safety, want to get it regardless of the cost? Qiye's little mind really couldn't imagine: What else could be more important than the lives of so many people?
After another fruitless thought, Qiye shook his head, withdrew his thoughts, and began to continue pretending to work seriously. Before I knew it, after an afternoon of hard digging. In a concentrated area at the bottom of the valley, 90,000 soldiers searched every rock and found nothing.
Han Qi and Sui Liangong were digging farther and farther. After an afternoon of hard digging, Han Qi was already a little tired, and Liubei also put in a lot of effort. As for Langbei and Sui Liangong, they seemed to be in good condition. . The fruitless search made Han Qi even more disappointed.
"Brother Han, don't be impatient. We have just started now. Judging from our current material reserves, we can at least support it for more than half a month, so we still have a lot of time. There is still a large area ahead of us that has not been excavated. I believe we will definitely Found a thousand-year treasure." Seeing that Han Qi was a little discouraged, Shui Lianggong stepped forward to comfort him.
"Looks like this is the best we can do." Han Qi said helplessly as he crushed the black stone in his hand with hatred.
In a blink of an eye, it was getting late, and the afterglow reluctantly left at a long and slender pace. Han Qi tidied up his clothes, brushed away the ashes, and started preparing to return with the other three.
Qiye also put down what he was doing and gathered towards the gathering place. The day passed without incident, and I could finally relax after a frightening day.
However, at this moment. The sky was getting late, and suddenly it became dark quickly, and suddenly the whole world was dark. The soldiers looked around in horror. Qiye, who was originally relaxed, felt a chilling fear coming over him. This fear was even worse than before, making Qiye feel like he was about to suffocate.
Soon, a vibration came from the calm surface. Then the vibrations became more and more violent, and all the gravel on the ground began to tremble, as if a huge energy was about to burst out from deep underground.
"Boom, boom, boom~" A vibrating sound like rolling thunder and crushing the universe came from deep underground. The ground shook violently, and the soldiers staggered or slumped on the ground, confused and at a loss. Qiye's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with despairing eyes.
"What on earth is going on!?" Han Qi asked in panic.
"It seems, it seems that there is some kind of energy from the ground that is about to rush out!" Shui Lianggong was also frowning and solemn at this moment, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
"Could it be that a thousand-year treasure is about to be revealed?" Han Qi suddenly looked happy. With such a big movement, it seems that there must be a huge treasure buried under the ground. Now this treasure is about to be revealed. It is really impossible to find it even after trying hard to find it. It takes no effort to get it.
"I don't know, but it's ominous!" Shui Lianggong didn't know whether it was really a treasure, but he intuitively felt that the movement was more like something terrible was about to come out.
"Withdraw!" Hearing what Shui Lianggong said, Han Qi felt completely chilled. If this movement was not a treasure, it must be a disaster. Just as he was giving the order to retreat, the words just fell.
The surface of the valley floor was torn to pieces in an instant under the impact of huge energy. Where the cracks in the ground cracked, clouds of burning black smoke erupted like a volcano. The black smoke carried the hot magma from the core of the earth, splashed everywhere, and exploded into flowers like firecrackers. Magma continued to roll from the cracks in the ground, ejecting thick black smoke, and the entire ice valley instantly turned into a hell on earth of ice and fire.
