"Well, in just three thousand meters, I have discovered one hundred and ninety-seven powerful defenses, but it seems that most of them are not completed. wWw, QUaNbEn-xIAoShUO, COm Moreover, they are different from some of the defensive equipment I know The structure is different, and the power seems to have been greatly improved!" Long Ya muttered in a low voice, commenting on some things inside the corridor he walked through.
"This should be a very important stronghold! But I have no relevant information about it at all!" The sweet-scented osmanthus tree waved its rhizome in distress: "I have been calling for a long time, but I haven't received any reply. Isn't there anyone controlling this place?" "
Lin Qi listened quietly to the exchange between Longya and Osmanthus Tree. They continued to evaluate some defense systems, and everyone kept calling for the controller that this place should exist, but there was no response.
After traveling along the corridor for about twenty miles, there were dozens of forked crossings on both sides of the corridor. At the entrance of each branch corridor, there are strong men of the Tiger clan holding heavy weapons and wearing heavy armor stationed there. Beside some big men from the Tiger Clan, there were even some green-skinned goblins walking around holding some weird magic tools, not knowing what they were doing.
As if sensing Lin Qi's surprise, Lin Yufeng pointed at the green goblins and laughed: "These goblins are a vassal group under the protection of the Tiger Clan's own family. They have friendship with some goblin forces in the Goblin Continent, and the Tiger Clan uses many powers. Powerful magic instruments and magic props are all made by them, for example, the Mysterious Pendant is their work."
Sighing, Lin Yulei shook his head: "These are the green dwarves. They consume too much, and I can't provide them with enough magic materials!"
Lin Qi nodded, Goblin? Raising a goblin tribe is indeed very expensive. These guys who are passionate about ancient magic can waste hundreds of millions of gold coins just to study an ordinary ancient magic pattern. The Tiger Clan has an entire tribe of goblins as vassals, and their annual investment should be an astronomical figure.
Thinking about the magic materials he took out in the East, most of them should have fallen into the hands of these goblins.
Walk forward for a while. The front suddenly becomes clear. There was a "rumbling" sound of running water in my ears. Lin Qi walked to the end of the corridor. There was a metal platform protruding out of the cliff. On the left and right sides of Lin Qi, there were giant waterfalls with a width of 1,000 meters pouring down. Less than a hundred meters away, the entire platform was wrapped in thick water vapor.
When I raised my head and looked up, the waterfall poured down from more than a thousand meters above my head. Standing on the edge of the platform and looking down, there is a deep green pool thousands of meters below. The huge deep pool was washed by two waterfalls, and a huge whirlpool rolled up in the middle of the deep pool.
Just above the whirlpool, a delicate copper-brown wooden two-story building floated quietly. The huge vortex drove the air to set off small whirlwinds, and the winds hit the small building, but they were unable to shake the small building at all.
The small building without any support is suspended in the whirlpool. On the wooden platform in front of the building, a sturdy old man wearing a loose black robe with his bare chest was holding a huge harpoon, staring at it with a pair of big, ferocious eyes like bells. Some dark shadows are looming in the depths of the whirlpool.
Lin Qi looked at the small building in shock. How did this building float on the whirlpool
At this moment, the old man suddenly roared and the harpoon shot out with a "whoosh" sound. It blasted straight into the whirlpool. A shrill howl came from within the whirlpool. A stream of blood spurted out, quickly turning the vortex with a diameter of more than a kilometer red. The old man laughed and pulled a thick metal chain behind the harpoon. The chain was stretched tightly and kept making loud buzzing noises.
Accompanied by a shrill howl, a strange creature that was more than fifty meters long, shaped like a giant python, had two horns on its head, and had huge blue transparent fins on its body like a flying fish, was forcibly carried by the old man. on the platform.
"Little guys, you are in for a treat! Eat some arowana meat with me?" The old man with a rough face and no signs of aging raised his head and waved to Lin Qi and the other three people on the platform: "On weekdays, I always eat alone, but I don’t have a share for you little guys. I am happy today and I want you to enjoy it too”! "
Lin Yufeng and Lin Yulei laughed "hehehaha", pulled Lin Qi up and jumped off the platform.
An invisible force of wind supported Lin Qi and others, allowing them to land lightly on the wooden platform in front of the pavilion. Lin Yufeng and Lin Yulei knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to the old man. Lin Qi also followed the two temple ancestors and obediently kowtowed to this sturdy and unusually strong old man.
"Hey, donkey!" The old man punched the dragon fish's head to pieces, and then looked at the donkey standing next to Lin Qi in surprise.
The donkey snorted lazily, and then nodded to the old man: "Old guy, we meet again! I remember when we went to spy on a witch bathing in a certain extremity, and her breasts were still not big enough! "
The old man's face suddenly turned red. He glanced at Lin Qi and the others in embarrassment, and roared in a low voice: "Nonsense, when did I follow you to spy on the witch bathing? Huh? I, Lin Zhentian, a good man, dare to If you dare to do it, I’ve done it before, and if I haven’t done it, I haven’t done it!”
Donkey coughed, lowered his voice, and smiled mysteriously: "You peeped on the witch bathing, and you also took away a treasure from her. Stop pretending, we are all men, who doesn't Who do you know? Here, that mirror hanging on your waist!"
Lin Zhentian grabbed a rhombus-shaped cyan mirror hanging from his waist and stuffed it into his sleeve, then laughed boldly: "Lin Qi, you have done well in the Western Continent! Well, you are indeed a good man! But Ancestor must warn you, don’t let this donkey lead you astray, this is a bastard beast!”
Staring at Lin Zhentian fiercely, Donkey raised his lips to reveal two big white teeth: "You are my grandson!"
"brute!"
"grandson!"
"brute!"
"grandson!"
An extremely powerful man and a black donkey exchanged greetings with each other, and they stared at each other with saliva, and there was a strong tendency for this endless greeting to continue. Seeing that Lin Zhentian and Donkey had entered some strange state of madness, Lin Yufeng coughed hurriedly: "Ancestor Zhentian, Lin Qi has brought the blood laurel flower!"
Lin Zhentian's shouting stopped suddenly. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the golden flower baskets in the arms of the two rabbits. Then with a flick of his hand, the golden baskets in the arms of the two rabbits fell into his hands. The rabbits looked at each other in surprise, and their three-petal mouths squirmed a few times. It was obvious that what they said was not good.
"It's really a blood laurel!" Lin Zhentian took a deep breath, and then suddenly laughed loudly: "It's really a blood laurel! Hahaha, with so many blood laurels, and some worthless ones With the auxiliary medicinal materials, we can prepare the sixth-turn resurrecting liquid by ourselves! Lin Punan, don’t try to choke us with high-level medicines anymore!”
A low, long whistle came from a very far distance, and not long after, two majestic old men in black robes separated from the water mist and strode across the water waves to the wooden platform. They glanced at Lin Yufeng and Lin Yulei, and then asked Lin Zhentian at the same time: "Brother, what are you screaming about? Another dragon fish has been harmed? Why don't you get rid of it quickly?"
Lin Zhentian snorted coldly, glared at the two old men who had just arrived, and introduced Lin Qi in a deep voice: "Lin Qi, these are my two brothers, who are both descendants of the same clan and are now the chief elders. Among the elders of our family, the three of us are all great elders, just like Na Lin Punan, we are all the great elders of the thirteen elders."
Lin Zhenhai and Lin Zhenshan, these two old men who look very similar to Lin Zhentian, are both the elders of the Tiger Clan's family, and they also represent the highest interests of the clan's descendants in the elders' committee. The two old men looked at Lin Qi deeply, and then nodded at the same time.
"Go in and talk, this arowana should clean up the soup pot quickly!" Lin Zhentian shouted, and several strong men walked out of the wooden building carrying butcher knives. They disemboweled the huge dragon fish on this platform, took out a set of twenty-four fist-sized blue pearls from its body, carefully collected them, and then removed all the internal organs one by one. Wash and store it properly in a jade container.
The arowana skins were also tanned on site, and a big man left the wooden building with a large bundle of fish skins and sent them to someone unknown.
Lin Qi and others sat down on the second floor of the wooden building. Lin Zhentian personally took action and cooked a thick pot of wild tea soup in a large iron pot, and then poured a large bowl for everyone. Including Lin Yufeng and Lin Yulei, they all drank the hot tea soup in large gulps, exhaling happily from time to time.
Taking a gentle sip of the slightly dark tea soup, Lin Qi felt that the taste of the tea soup was extremely bitter at first glance. After swallowing the tea soup while resisting the bitterness like a knife, a strong aroma suddenly emerged from it. There was a leisurely sensation in the chest and abdomen, followed by salivation, waves of sweet fragrance overflowing from the mouth, heat waves rolling all over the body, and heat spurting out from the pores.
"Good stuff!" The sweet-scented osmanthus tree suddenly exclaimed: "This is not an ordinary tea, it is a medicinal tea irrigated with chemicals! Well, it seems like..."
"It seems to be a reduced version of the body-strengthening potion recorded in the 'Seventh Improved Edition of the *** Strengthening Plan'!" Long Ya said lightly: "In other words, it is a weakened version that lacks several raw materials that enhance bone marrow activity, but increases There are more than a dozen medicinal materials that can enhance the strength of muscles and bones, which are of great benefit to strengthening the body!"
