Clang!
The second shovel shoveled up, and the blade in front of the shovel was deformed again, but the stone on the ground had no trace.
"Hey, I don't believe it anymore, I can't pry it out!"
The man used a deformed shovel to scrape off the dust on the ground, and scraped some small stones around.
After erasing the blocking stone and soil, he finally saw the stone.
There was a small torch on the wall of the pit next to it. With this weak light, the man saw a white piece of white on the ground, and the color was as bright and reflective as frozen ice and snow.
Could it be... Did you find a treasure? ! !
The man was overjoyed, and he was happy when a person squeezed over next to him.
"What is this? I'll see."
"Hey, what are you squeezing? I dug it out!" the man shouted.
"What's wrong?"
Others in the pit also heard the sound and saw the white piece of ground on the ground.
"Is this ice?" someone asked.
"I touch... it's cold, but it's not ice, it's hard." One person said after squatting down and touching it with his hands.
"It's not ice, I look at it, it looks like a spar." An older person speculated.
Spar? !
Not only the person who first discovered the stone, but other people's eyes also lit up.
The spar is good. Although the price varies, even if it is only used for decoration, it will sell well in the city, especially those slave owners, who like this.
However, in the salt mine, in this place where there are fire crystals, there may be something extremely precious! Haven't seen two shovels broken
"I'm going to report to the leader!" The person with the fastest response rushed out of the pit first and went to the leader to ask for credit.
The others took a slow step and stomped their feet in annoyance, "What are you doing in such a hurry? Are you in a hurry to find death?!"
The person who first dug up the suspected spar thing did not leave, and was clinging to his own piece of land, so what if someone went to claim credit first? He dug out this piece here, and the leader's reward will be indispensable.
Others in the pit also had quick brains. When they saw the white piece under the man's feet, they quickly picked up the tool and digged down quickly. Others also reacted. , do they have anything under their feet? The man just dug deeper than them.
Sure enough, after a while, I heard another crisp sound of "Qiang" like the collision of hard metal objects.
"Haha, I dug it too!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
When all the stones and soil were opened, the people in the pit found that they were all covered with this kind of white spar, all of them! They couldn't find the edge at all. Perhaps, this spar was much bigger than they thought! It is a whole spar slab!
"Hey, it's so hard, how do you pry a piece off?" Someone tried several tools, but only a trace was left. Not a single piece was knocked off, and it couldn't be digged.
"Stupid! Prying also requires skills!" A senior digger proudly turned over a chisel and a copper hammer.
I saw the man crouched down, looked at the ground carefully, then stopped in one place, put the chisel against the ground, and then slammed the hammer hard.
It was only at this time that others noticed that the large spar on the ground was not flat, but with some folds and some gaps, like blocks of similar size and shape, almost hexagonally connected. , there are bumps and depressions on the slightly lighter edge of each piece, which should be gaps. And that person stuck the sharp edge of the front end of the chisel in the convex or concave place, then held the short rod on the chisel, and swung the hammer with the other hand, hitting the chisel heavily.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Once you can't pry it, you can do it a few more times, the hammer shadow flashes, and the knocking sounds seem to be connected together.
click!
The chisel blade was rolled up, a white block was detached, and it was pried to fly. The man next to him was quick-witted, jumped on the wall of the pit, and grabbed the small white block that was less than the size of a slap. And the nearly hexagonal block trace on the ground is missing a small corner.
The person who grabbed the white crystal block moved closer to the torch and used the firelight to observe what the white crystal block was. Others also got closer. The supervisors above all went down to the pit to see.
"Spar, it must be a spar!"
"Look, there seem to be patterns on it!"
"What pattern is this? Frozen snowflakes?"
"What is a snowflake? This is a crystal flower!" Someone showed off their knowledge.
"It's a bit like." The person holding the crystal block put it in his mouth and bit it, and was shivered by the ice, "It's so cold! It's so hard!"
"Quick, grab a few more pieces before the boss comes over!"
Others also agreed, no more nonsense, hurry up to grab the chisel and hammer, those who can't grab it will fight, not only the people of the fierce fox, but also the people of the forest tribe, when it comes to interests, it is Contradictions and conflicts can easily arise.
The man who had grabbed the chisel began to tinkle the hammer.
The leader of the fierce fox is discussing the harvest of this period with the people of the forest tribe and the countermeasures after that. The people they sent have already checked the movements of the Taihe tribe and the Shanfeng tribe, but the people who were monitoring in the past were discovered. After losing a few, they were killed by the other party.
The three tribes over there are aggressive, and the current situation is probably not good. I don’t know if they will come to grab something from them, so I have to be on guard. They have been prepared for a long time here. Although they did not expect the change of the sky to be so severe, they have food and fur, and a lot of firewood collected, all of which are stocked.
While they were discussing, the fire crystal digger came over excitedly to report that they had dug up a new spar.
This is indeed good news, and the leaders of the fierce fox and the forest tribe stopped talking and rushed over there.
"If it's a new spar, I don't know how much it's worth." The leader of the forest tribe walked towards the pit with joy on his face.
"Anyway, it's a good thing. I'll say, you will definitely not suffer from this choice." The leader of the fierce fox was also quite excited.
"Let me see, what kind of spar is it?"
They didn't notice that the bird of the Sen tribe that had been ignored for a few days, and the fox of the Liehu tribe, are now shaking all over, squeezing hard into inconspicuous corners, reducing their sense of existence, who is pulling Don't leave, don't cry, wish it was really a stone. It's not that they don't want to bark, it's that they're too scared to bark. Others just thought they were frozen.
…
In the salt cave in Yanjiao, Shao Xuan listened carefully to the heartbeat.
"Now the interval between each sound is less, and the sound is louder." Shao Xuan described what he heard to Zheng Luo and the others.
Even if the three leaders couldn't hear it, they could hear Shao Xuan's description, and they kept beating drums in their hearts, making them nervous. I can't hear it myself, but I can only pass it through other people's narration. It feels really bad.
"Wait! Something's wrong!"
Shao Xuan's sudden words made the three leaders stand up nervously.
"What's wrong?!"
"The interval between the heartbeat sounds is less, the sound is getting louder, and the change is so fast!" Shao Xuan's cold sweat broke out on his head. He didn't know what it was. The sweat was just a physiological reaction brought about by intuition, and he couldn't control it at all. .
The three of Zheng Luo's hearts are hanging in their throats, staring at Shao Xuan, waiting for Shao Xuan to take the next words. But what Shao Xuan said next made them fall into an ice cave.
"Boss, I have a guess." Shao Xuan swallowed, forcibly suppressing the tremor in his heart. It's been a long time since he felt this way. He still remembered a similar feeling when he was lost in the early days of hunting.
"You... you said!" Zheng Luo stammered rarely.
"I suspect that there is a king beast down here!" Shao Xuan said this sentence almost word by word.
"King... king..."
The three leaders opened their mouths, but couldn't say it completely.
Such things as king beasts only exist in the notes left by the ancestors of the tribe. Most of them have only heard of it, and even the ancestors who left the notes may not have seen it with their own eyes. They can only know such creatures from the handwriting of their ancestors, from the stories passed down from generation to generation.
No one is willing to face the king beast, that is the real king. Among the stories handed down, there have been many stories of king beasts easily destroying a tribe. They don't want to investigate the truth of the story, but it is undeniable that no one wants to encounter such a legendary creature.
But now...
They really hope that Shao Xuan is bluffing them, it is just Shao Xuan's illusion.
"I met a king beast very early on, and my current feeling is similar to that at the time." Shao Xuan suppressed the shock in his heart and said.
The three leaders next to him were already stunned.
If they were just a little regretful before, now they are so sorry they want to hit the wall.
That is the king beast! Not the miscellaneous beasts they hunted on weekdays!
How can you beat it
Even if all these people in their cave are combined, can they really fight? If it weren't for Shao Xuan, they wouldn't even be able to hear the beast's heartbeat! I am afraid that the three leaders of them may not be able to save a few people in the team even after all their lives! !
This is a dream, this must be just a dream.
…
In the salt cave of the fierce fox.
The leader of the fierce fox and the leader of the forest tribe went down to the pit to watch the others busy, holding a cold crystal block that was finally pried off in his hand. There was no joy on his face, but an inexplicable panic, which made him gasp for breath.
"Wait, stop first, don't pry! I told you not to pry!" The leader of the fox almost roared.
Others looked at them suspiciously, not understanding why the leader suddenly made such a big fire, and the pit was silent for a while.
clack clack-
The subtle sound, in such silence, is quite clear.
An unbelievable pressure and a chilling feeling penetrated the whole body in an instant.
A foreman who went down to the pit bowed his head stiffly, looked at the hanging sword in his hand, and saw that the tip of the sword touching the surface of the crystal block began to be covered with a layer of white frost, and the frost was extending upward at a speed visible to the naked eye. .
The temperature in the pit dropped rapidly, and the two leaders who responded quickly had already rushed up the wall of the pit, while those who responded more slowly found that they could no longer walk, and their feet were frozen on the spar. My feet were frozen and numb, but now I found that it was not frozen, but completely frozen, even the blood was frozen.
laugh-
The white spar slabs under their feet began to move, and the frozen ones could only be led to the side of the pit wall. There is no way to escape, it is useless for them to chop their feet now, the frost has spread over their waists, and the entire lower body has lost consciousness.
boom! boom! boom!
A series of banging sounds came from under the pit, and the leader of the fox didn't need to look down to know that the people below had broken into pieces.
