Chapter 68: The Beginning of Despair

The appearance of fire meteorites caused mortals and monks near Nanling to enter a crazy gold rush.

Qin Long's feet were no longer a rugged path, but turned into a spacious road.

The road does not seem to have been dug by man. The surface of the uncarved caves is relatively smooth, almost with a frosted texture after industrialization.

A bit of light came from the entrance of the cave. Looking up, the blurry exit was like the only flickering flame in the darkness. The light was about to extinguish weakly, giving people a vast and shocking beauty.

As the pace progressed, many dense holes gradually appeared on the originally flat wall, which were small entrances that appeared during subsequent excavation.

More and more small holes appear on the wall, changing the tunnel wall beyond recognition and looking like a honeycomb. Qin Long knows that this is the trace left by the fire meteorite, but this is destined to be a futile journey.

.

"Brother Molong, this tunnel was left behind by a great master in the world of cultivation. I heard that the monk was a master in the Earthly Immortal Realm. He dug this tunnel here in order to find the fire meteorite."

An Hua saw Qin Long staring at the tunnel wall in a daze, and quickly explained that from Qin Long's previous introduction, the girl already knew that the fire meteorite in his mouth was the flame that fell in Nanling Mountain.

"This passage was opened by masters from the Earthly Immortal Realm?"

"Yes, I heard from the old people in the village that this passage was formed overnight. It should have been created casually by the powerful monk in order to find the meteorite."

Qin Long gently stroked the wall and fell into deep thought.

This tunnel passes almost diagonally through the entire Nanling Mountains, with a uniform thickness and width of several feet. This is such a terrifying strength.

The monks in the Earthly Immortal Realm are really too powerful. Since it can attract the attention of such a powerful person, the value of the meteorite is definitely not low.

Qin Long nodded, which made him more determined to find the meteorite.

"An Hua, have you heard any rumors since the meteorite fell?"

"Rumors? There are a lot of rumors in Anjia Village. When I was a child, my mother often told me stories about the Grand Master of Jiang County, but there were not many stories about meteorites." An Hua said in confusion.

"It's not that kind of rumor. What I'm referring to is whether there are any rumors about hauntings in Nanling Mountain, or about people disappearing inexplicably."

"Oh, this, that's a lot! Brother Molong, you don't know, this Nanling Mountain is also known as the Short-lived Mountain. I heard my mother say that when she was a child, there was a great famine in the village, and the nearby

All the rats were eaten by everyone, and many people almost starved to death."

"Later, I had no choice but to go against the group training and go hunting in Nanling Mountain. Brother Molong, do you know what the result will be?"

Anhua gave it up and looked at Qin Long expectantly.

"How's it going?" Qin Long asked cooperatively.

"They are all dead. Those who went to Nanling Mountain, not a single one is left. They all died at the foot of the mountain. The strangest thing is that the way of death of these people is very strange. Everyone looks very good and looks nothing like

There are dead people, and there are still people with smiles on their faces."

"At first, everyone thought they were poisoned. After all, many mushrooms will cause hallucinations after eating them, so they didn't pay too much attention. But then several waves of people were sent in succession, and it turned out that there was something wrong not with what they were eating, but with Nanling.

There is a problem in the mountains."

"Everyone who enters the mountain, without exception, dies with a glowing face."

"So since then, no one has dared to go hunting in Nanling Mountain. Fortunately, the famine finally ended, but Nanling Mountain has since become a short-lived mountain. It was not until this passage appeared that things got better."

Anhua talked very enthusiastically, but Qin Long became more and more confused the more he listened. The reason why he asked about the haunting rumors was because he considered that the meteorite might have a special magnetic field and wanted to determine the location through rumors.

Now it seems that An Hua completely misunderstood what she meant.

According to her, the strange phenomena in Nanling before were indeed a bit strange and met the conditions for the treasure to be buried. However, everything has improved since the great master of cultivation came. This is obviously not a good phenomenon.

He turned around and looked at the wall full of pits. It seemed that there might have been some treasure in the Nanling Mountains before, but now it has probably been taken away by the powerful man. This passage was left over from that time.

Thinking about it this way, the changes in Nanling are reasonable. Maybe there is some protective formation engraved on the treasure that can silently kill anyone who enters it. After being taken away, the formation will disappear, so naturally there will be no taboos.

"Let's go An Hua, you must be exhausted from the journey. If you go back to Anjia Village earlier, you can see your mother earlier." Thinking of this, Qin Long shook his head, with a look of disappointment on his face.

Several people walked through the passage and soon passed through Nanling Mountain. The light coming from the cave entrance in front gradually became larger. When Qin Long walked out of the cave entrance, he found that they were standing at the bottom of a huge crater.

Qin Long burst into laughter, thinking that this powerful cultivator was really unlucky. This passage was clearly opened to find meteorites, but he unexpectedly came across a treasure hidden in the Nanling Mountains.

The semicircular bowl crater struck by the meteorite presents a smooth crystalline surface, which reflects the light of the sun and looks particularly beautiful.

He stretched out his hand and flicked the crystalline surface, and the hard touch told him that the strength of this thing was no less than the piece of yellow iron he had hidden in the small courtyard of Shiyu City.

This is a good thing! A flash of excitement flashed in Qin Long's eyes. If they were made into weapons, they would never be worse than gold and iron.

"Don't think about it again, this thing can't be used to refine weapons."

The weapon refiner's mind is very easy to understand. When Qing Yu saw Qin Long's appearance, he knew what his intention was. He poked the surface of the crystal body with the improved knife in his hand, and the sound of "dang" suddenly echoed throughout the bowl.

Echoes in the crater.

"No one knows how this thing appeared, but every meteorite that fell from the sky in your mouth will leave this kind of thing on the ground. I heard that at the beginning, everyone saw that this kind of thing was so strong that it was as strong as

You also wanted to use it to make weapons, but after a long trial you found that they couldn't be smelted."

"Low-level spiritual energy flames are ineffective against them, and using high-level source fire will burn them into a pile of useless stone powder. Therefore, the biggest use is to build low-level weapon refining furnaces or alchemy furnaces, but the value of such things is too low.

, it’s not something that aristocratic families would like, it’s normal if you haven’t seen it before.”

Qin Long nodded when he heard this. He thought this was a rare weapon-refining material, but he thought it was worthless.

Slowly climbing up the simple steps dug out of the crystalline layer, Qin Long always had an idea in his mind, but he never knew what it was.

The surface of these crystal bodies is smooth and hard. With the power of Qingyu Wenhuo Realm, it can't be broken without using spiritual energy. The demon wolves of Foundation Establishment Realm will definitely not be able to break it for a while.

If the demon wolves could be lured here at that time, they could easily be trapped in this bowl-shaped pit, and they would probably be able to escape capture without any effort.

"Brother Qingyu, do you think this place looks like a natural trap?" Qinglong's eyes lit up and he kicked the crystal layer on the sole of his foot twice.

"Indeed!" Qingyu was also stunned when he heard Qin Long's words.

Not only is this place suitable for use as a trap, there is also a passage at the bottom of the crater that runs through the entire South Ridge, which has been intricately dug by people looking for treasures over the years.

Not to mention the Demonic Wolves in the Foundation Establishment Realm, even if they encounter stronger ones, they can still use those intricate passages to escape, which is simply a perfect escape route.

Anjia Village.

A giant demonic wolf is rampaging here, wreaking havoc.

The village was full of running humans, but the demon wolf paid no attention to them, instead focusing all his attention on an ordinary thatched house with mud walls.

Although the thatched house was not big, it was enough to accommodate a family of three, but even so it was only as high as the Demon Wolf's knees.

The thatched house was instantly shattered into dirt under the claws of the wolf. The wolf's kiss was slightly probing, and it took out the human hidden in the ruins, and then violently threw it into the sky. Amidst the screams of the man, its horns

The teeth slowly opened.

Click.

A large amount of blood spurted out from between the demon wolf's teeth. It rolled its throat and sucked up the blood. As if it was not satisfied, it shook its head, spit out the bone residue in its mouth, and continued to search for the next target.

The demon wolf was disgusted with the humans running around on the ground. He quickly stretched out his claws and smashed the little people running around one by one, forcing them to hide in the house so that he could continue his game.

After repeating this process several times, there were finally fewer little people running on the ground. The giant wolf nodded with satisfaction, then raised its head to the sky and let out a long roar.

"Ouch."

Just when Qin Long and Qing Yu were discussing how to use the crater, a rough wolf howl came from the front.

Demon wolf, that is the voice of the demon wolf.

Everyone had dealt with the demon wolf more than once, so they naturally knew that the owner of the wolf howl was the demon wolf.

"Why does the demon wolf appear here?"

Qin Long is somewhat different.

When they passed through the inner passage of the Nanling Mountains, they paid special attention to whether they were being followed. If the demon wolf followed them, the howling wolf would definitely be behind them, but why did it appear in front of them? Could it be from Nanling?

Climb up the mountain?

Qin Long raised his head and glanced at the towering mountain peaks behind him, but felt that this was even more impossible.

"Brother Mo Long, over there is Anjia Village. My mother is still in the village. Please save my mother."

When An Hua heard the wolf howling, she immediately panicked. She also knew what the sound was, and more importantly, the direction of the sound was exactly where she thought about day and night.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyu, please take An Hua with you. We need to speed up our journey to Anjia Village."

As soon as she finished speaking, An Hua felt her belt tightening and was grabbed by Qing Yu. Qing Yu led her up and down the crater and ran towards Anjia Village.

Qin Long also used Yin-Yang Fish without hesitation. In a flash, his whole body turned into a black shadow and disappeared at the end of the steps.

Anjia Village is not far from Nanling. In just a few dozen breaths, the outline of a large village appeared in front of him. Qin Long knew that it was Anhua's hometown.

After taking a short rest and waiting for An Chang to arrive, the group of people took their spiritual energy back into their bodies and cautiously explored towards Anjia Village.

The demonic wolf ran amok, leaving ruins everywhere it passed. The village was covered with splattered blood, and scattered corpses could be seen everywhere.

An old woman with her head wrapped in a floral cloth was tremblingly trying to run out of the village. She saw the devil wolf's intention and knew that staying in the village would lead to death.

Perhaps the old woman's rapid breathing attracted the attention of the demon wolf. The demon wolf, which was eager to kill in the village, suddenly stopped. A hint of anger flashed in the blue wolf eyes, as if he was complaining that the old woman had destroyed his toy.

The sharp claws in the wolf's feet suddenly popped out, and it stomped on the ground and ran towards the old woman.

It wants to kill her and let her know the price of destroying her toys.

The old woman was about to run into the woods. When she heard the vibration from behind, she was about to turn her head, but she felt her body light up and the whole world was spinning.

Bang.

Amid the spilled blood, the old woman's upper body flew up and fell heavily to the ground.

The bloody floral cloth was blown off in the strong wind, floated towards Nanling, and landed in front of a girl.
