The 'virtual sun' lights up.
Under the warm red light, a group of dwarfs were busy under the distant stone wall.
It was a large piece of fertile land, with many exotic crops growing luxuriantly in neat fields.
In the mine farther away, the sound of 'ding-dong-dang' knocking kept coming.
On the school grounds, Wu Zhan's body was filled with heat, turning into a large white mist that rose more than one meter high. The muscles on his body were beating violently, and he held up a stone ball that was almost the same height as him in both hands. Under his bronze skin, there were flashes of light from time to time in the raised meridians.
Wu Jin, Wu Yin, and Wu Tong were also working hard on the school field. Various heavy instruments were fluttering up and down in their hands. From time to time, they dropped the instruments on the ground, making loud noises.
In the stone castle, Wu Tie sat at the square table. Through the window, he could just see the scene on the school field.
On the square table and in the sand tray, Master Gray used stone strips to draw lines of characters. He looked at the scroll that Wu Zhan and others brought back from Xiong's house a few days ago with a sad face.
"It's difficult, it's difficult, it's difficult... Is this... how to make a crossbow?" Master Gray hit himself hard on the forehead with a stone bar.
"The crossbow... uses horns?"
"Horns?"
Master Gray looked thoughtfully at the few cattle warriors on the school field. They were waving big axes made of wood and shouting about how happy they were to practice.
"The cattle tribe...the horns...the horns on their heads can be used?"
"So, what is this isinglass?"
Master Gray banged his head on the square table in distress.
"Inscrutable... This is the knowledge left by our ancestors in ancient times... Peace!"
Master Gray raised his head, rubbed his painful head, and looked at Wu Tie seriously.
Wu Tie withdrew his gaze and reverie - just now he was imagining that he had become a powerful cultivator and was handling the heaviest equipment on the school field with ease.
Looking at the complicated characters on the sand table, Wu Tie let out a sigh as his scattered eyes regained focus.
"The knowledge left by our ancestors... Master, you said that wisdom is not just blind memory and inheritance, but more importantly, learning to question!" Wu Tie looked at Master Gray seriously: "So, horns and isinglass are not existing."
Gray Master was stunned.
Wu Tie said to him more seriously: "Just like the sun, moon and stars in the book, just like the rivers, lakes and seas, they don't exist!"
Before Master Gray could speak, Wu Tie continued: "Just like the apricot flowers sold in Shenxiang in the Ming Dynasty, they don't exist..."
Master Gray raised the stone bar and hit Wu Tie on the forehead hard. He looked at Wu Tie angrily: "Learn to question, is this how you question?"
Wu Tie spread his hands: "No one has seen it!"
Gray Master was stunned.
He slowly put down the stone, smashed the characters in the sand tray with his hands, and sighed in distress.
Master Gray's eyes became very sad.
Reaching out and touching Wu Tie's forehead, Master Gray said in a low voice: "The prerequisite for questioning is that you have enough wisdom... Taiping, neither you nor I have enough wisdom to question what our ancestors left behind..."
Wu Tie also sighed.
Master Gray stood up, walked to the window, and looked at Wu Zhan and others on the school ground.
"My Master once said to me..." After a long silence, Master Gray muttered in a low voice: "We cannot be lost in the darkness, we cannot become beasts... Violence and killing cannot cover up the light of wisdom of our ancestors..."
"Look at your father!" Master Gray pointed at Witch Zhan, who was sweating profusely on the school field, with a layer of strong light coming out of his skin: "He is the most powerful warrior among several nearby castle families... But twenty years Before, after he rescued me... He also knew how to respect knowledge... respect inheritance... "
"Him?" Wu Tie looked at Wu Zhan in surprise.
He looked at Master Gray again: "I thought, Master, you have always been... a member of our family!"
Master Gray smiled, took out another volume, and unfolded it carefully.
"The things inside are even more interesting..." Master Gray said softly: "Come, let's figure it out together... Oh, look, what beautiful words... I really don't know what the ancestors of the Xiong family are like. A great man actually has such a legacy left behind..."
'Green Zijin, Youyouwoxin… '
Master Gray sighed heavily again: "It's so beautiful... But, how to explain it?"
'Uh'... Wu Tie spread his hands and subconsciously looked in the direction of the school ground.
On the school ground, Wu Tong stood aside drinking water. Wu Jin and Wu Yin stood more than ten meters apart. The two looked at each other for a while. The long knife in their hands suddenly flew out, turning into two black qi and rushing straight out, hitting hard on the ground. Together.
Sparks flew everywhere, and the clang was deafening.
The two long knives collided violently in the air thirteen times, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Wu Jin and Wu Yin let out a sigh of relief at the same time, and large amounts of sweat broke out on their bronze skin. The sweat dripped down to the ground like rain.
Follow the cave that Wu Zhan and others returned to a few days ago, pass through a winding tunnel with many forks, follow the correct road for nearly a hundred miles, bypass many dangerous sinkholes, and then follow a Natural stone beams, crossing a hot lava river, arrived at the Xiong family's territory.
In a dark fork, a fist-sized luminous mushroom emitted dim blue light, illuminating a rock dwarf covered in bruises.
When the Xiong family was destroyed, the rock dwarf was lucky enough to escape the hunt of the Wu family soldiers, but today, he fell into the hands of an even more terrifying person.
In the darkness, a curved dagger flashing with a faint blue light slashed across the throat of the rock gnome.
A large amount of blood spilled out, and the rock gnome twitched and fell to the ground.
The blood of the rock gnome was born with a hint of grayish white, but soon, the plasma turned into a light blue that was almost the same as the dagger. The body of the rock gnome also had a hint of light blue, and began to corrode and erode rapidly.
Very poisonous, extremely terrible poison.
"Chi You Ya!" The luminous mushroom was crushed, and a gentle voice sounded in the darkness.
"There are good things in remote areas?" Another voice sounded.
"I said, the more remote the place, the more good things there are." A voice laughed.
"Chi Youya, the steel shield will shatter with one blow!" The first gentle voice sounded, and he smiled: "It's a pity that it was taken away."
There was an unknown laughter in the darkness, and then the darkness returned to silence, and no sound was heard again.
The 'virtual sun' lights up, and the red light shines on Wu Valley.
In the lobby of the stone castle, beside the large stone table, Wu Zhan was dealing with a shiny piece of barbecue while giving vague instructions to Wu Tie.
"Eat well, eat well, and then follow me to the mine."
After swallowing a large piece of roasted meat, he picked up a large pot of water and took a hearty sip. Wu Zhan let out a sigh of satisfaction.
"That group of dwarfs used mine gravel to look for veins yesterday, and they seemed to have dug another cave."
Wu Zhan scratched the thick beard on his chin thoughtfully, and laughed like a well-fed jungle tiger king: "I really hope that side leads to an area where people live... As for opponents, they always don't mind. Many!"
Wu Tie lowered his head and worked hard to deal with a huge boiled animal bone.
The animal bones had been cut into pieces, and he finally dug out a large piece of white and tender marrow inside, stuffing it into a big mouthful.
After hearing Wu Zhan's words, Wu Tie couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Wu Zhan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He touched his head and laughed dryly: "Are you talking about what happened three years ago? Hahaha, who knew that behind the blasted mine, there was actually a poisonous spider nest? Damn it, neither did those animals He grew up knowing what to eat, and he gave birth to so many little spiders!”
The three brothers Wu Jin, Wu Yin, and Wu Tong sitting nearby shuddered at the same time.
"Dad, we won't be so unlucky this time, right?" Wu Jin looked at Wu Zhan seriously.
Wu Zhan stood up, glared at his three sons fiercely, then grabbed Wu Tie's shoulders and carried him out.
"You three are having a hard time squatting at home."
"Well, the rice mushrooms over there are almost ripe. You can take people to apply the last fertilizer... If you don't do it, where will you eat it?"
"Remember! Dimi mushrooms like the feces of rock pythons! Although it smells a bit... If you don't make it, where can you eat it?"
The faces of the three Wu and Jin brothers were stiff at the same time.
In the winding and deep mines, the rock gnomes deliberately planted a large amount of luminous moss.
No torches are needed, the glow-in-the-dark moss is enough to illuminate the mine.
Many small lizards and spiders were crawling around on the rock walls of the mine. Occasionally, a few venomous snakes came out of nowhere. Before they could hunt down these small lizards, the nearby rock gnomes had already caught them with their sharp eyesight. Smashed to death.
In just one breath, these poisonous snakes were eaten until not a single scale was left.
Riding a gray rock lizard, he traveled quickly through the mine, and the whispers of rock gnomes came from the surrounding mine tunnels.
The whispers of "Xixi Suosuo" were full of fear. In the dim light of the luminous moss, many rock gnomes could be seen kneeling on the ground in fear.
These little creatures, less than one meter tall with thin arms and legs, are at the bottom of the food chain in this cruel world.
Even if they have a high IQ!
But in the words of Master Gray, they have no 'wisdom', so they have no 'power'!
Without 'power', you are a sad object preyed upon by the weak!
After walking forward for three to five miles along a newly opened branch road, fist-sized golden spots could be seen everywhere on the cave wall.
This is a very good quality gold mine, and the gold nuggets are undoubtedly first-class hard currency!
More than a hundred rock gnomes were wielding small mining shovels, knocking out countless sparks on the rock wall.
Seeing Wu Zhan and Wu Tiexing approaching, the rock gnomes hurriedly stopped what they were doing and hurriedly knelt down on the ground.
Wu Zhan ignored these dwarfs. He pulled Wu Tie to the end of the mine tunnel. A black cave with a diameter of several meters appeared on the rock wall. The cold wind blew out from the cave with damp and cold air, and it could be faintly heard. To the sound of 'rumbling' water.
Several gray dwarves stood aside and looked at Wu Zhan and Wu Tie respectfully.
Wu Zhan patted Wu Tie's head and said in a deep voice: "I know what you are thinking..."
Wu Tie shrugged his shoulders and looked at Wu Zhan: "But, I can't do it!"
Wu Zhan narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Tie: "Perhaps, your mother's side can allow you to... But, it may cost a lot... Very greedy, too greedy... I mean, your mother's mother, too It’s your grandma...that old lady..."
After swearing a very exciting curse, Wu Zhan spat on the ground: "It's just that you are my son, right?"
Shaking his head, Wu Zhan snorted and scratched Wu Tie's nose with his fingers: "In the past two years, save more good things. In two years, I will take you and the third child to see your mother... But Well, only men with courage are worthy of paying such a high price!"
The muscles on his face twitched violently, and Wu Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "Greedy... so greedy... Do you have the guts, kid?"
A gray dwarf lit a huge torch and threw the torch into the dark hole.
Wu Zhan smiled and pulled out a long knife and nodded to Wu Tie: "From today on, I will always practice your courage! Ha!"
With a loud laugh, Wu Zhan waved to the group of warriors following him and got into the cave first.
"Taiping... If you don't dare to come in, just go back..."
"Be honest and study with Master Gray... Reading is always good..."
"This is what your grandfather said to me personally when he hit me on the head with a stick as thick as a bowl!"
"That old guy's words always make sense!"
Two cattle warriors, two green wolf warriors, and a dozen gray dwarves walked into the cave entrance.
Wu Tie was stunned, pondering for a while, then grinned: "Mother?"
Patting the gray rock lizard under the seat, Wu Tie drove it to crawl into the cave.
A damp and cold air hit Wu Tie's face, and soon Wu Tie's hair and face were covered with water droplets. The humidity behind the hole was shockingly large.
The ground was even more bumpy, and there was a lot of water in many places. Surprisingly, there were many tiny, transparent and phosphorescent creatures swimming happily in the puddles.
There were many creatures that Wu Tie had never seen or heard of.
Among them were some thumb-sized, round, phosphorescent creatures with tentacles that swam gracefully in the water. Wu Tie was entranced by their wonderful posture.
Torches were lit one after another, and a rock gnome ran in carrying a large amount of luminous moss. Piles of luminous moss were piled in the distance, and the fluorescence illuminated the darkest corners.
"Wow...haha!" Wu Zhan, who was holding a long knife, suddenly laughed.
"This place is interesting and a good place! What a good place!" Wu Zhan laughed loudly: "Water source! There is no water source that can be used up!"
Wu Zhan was dancing with excitement, and the family warriors around him were also jumping and screaming with excitement, especially the two green wolf warriors who went wild, and simply got down on all fours and started running wildly.
Wu Tie took a few steps forward, and in front of him was a large black water.
He had never seen so much water in his life.
The waves on the water were turbulent, and dull rumbling sounds kept coming from the water. There were whirlpools of all sizes on the water, and the water was extremely dangerous.
Wu Tie felt dizzy for a while. He stared blankly at the large water and subconsciously took a few steps back.
"This is Jiang?"
"Is this a river?"
"Is this a lake?"
"Is this the sea?"
"I've never seen, never seen so much, so much water!"
Outside the Wu family's stone fortress, two cow tribesmen huddled secretly behind a small stalagmite, lying comfortably on the ground, happily gnawing on cooked white mushrooms.
Suddenly there was a flash of blue light, two cracks opened on their necks, blood sprayed out, and two bull heads the size of wine jars silently rolled away a few steps.
"Hush... the hunting has begun!"
From the darkness, a gentle voice came.
