Wizard: I crush the legend with my martial arts

Chapter 41 Monsters Hidden in the Territory
  Thanks to the experience I had in my previous life, I can easily stand on my head without leaning on it or using my hands to support it.

The true energy gathered in the Dantian and activated the second level of the innate formless magical power.

The warm current of inner breath gradually turns into ice coldness, traveling from the Dantian up to the lungs, to the heart channels, and directly to the heavenly spirit.

After passing through the Niwan Palace, your mind will be clear.

After going back and forth for a few times, the inner fire that was bothering my heart was finally relieved, and my heart felt cool and comfortable.

The second level is to focus on the six Yin meridians, which are Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, Hand Jueyin Pericardial Meridian, Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian, Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, and Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian.

Starting from Shaoyin, to Jueyin, and then to Taiyin.

Once the six Yin meridians are connected, the second level is completed.

But at this time, there is no rush to rush the pulse. After the magical power has just been completed, it is still necessary to cultivate the true energy.

Suddenly I felt something strange, and there was breath from the outside world again. This time it was no longer a hot breath, but cool as water. Bits and pieces of breath flowed into the meridians and merged with the circulating Qi.

What is this?
  Alphonse was confused.

It didn't bring growth to the true energy, but it was integrated into the true energy.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Tessie's deep voice sounded outside the door, "Lord, are you there?"

"Come in." Alphonse responded.

There is no Chongmai, just letting the inner breath flow from the Dantian to the Heavenly Spirit, and there is no need to worry about being disturbed.

Carrying a large backpack and wearing a dirty suit, Tessie pushed open the door and entered.

Seeing Alphonse's handstand posture, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

It’s not that we’ve never seen people stand on their heads, but it’s rare to see someone like Alphonse stand on his head, completely motionless.

He is definitely performing some weird ritual, right?
  "What do you want from me?" Alphonse slowly stopped his strength, stretched out his hands, and jumped up, firmly standing on the ground.

"I squatted on the mountain all night last night, and finally I found the trace of the monster." Taixi said with a solemn expression.

"Oh? What kind of monster is it?" Alphonse asked curiously.

"Gold-eating ants." Tessie replied, "Not just one, but a colony. There are their nests under the mountains."

"Ant?" Alphonse was startled.

Tessie took off her backpack and took out a long item wrapped in linen.

Opening the linen, revealing what was inside, "Look."

It looks like a section of gray-white rock with mixed colors, crack marks on the surface, and a lot of gray-white powder scattered around.

It's a little thick and hard to hold with one hand.

It still looks familiar.

Alphonse couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pinched it.

It crumbles when you pinch it, as if it's weathered.

But it is not completely crushed, there are granular matter and powdery matter.

Alphonse was surprised. Isn't this just like raw cement that has not been fired?

I couldn't help but pinch another handful and rub it on my fingertips a few times.

You read that right, this is the raw material of cement. Even if there is a difference, it should not be much different.

"Where did this thing come from?"

If you can do more, you don't need to find coal and limestone to mix it. As long as you can get a kiln with a high enough temperature, you can bake cement.

This is good stuff! “This is the droppings of gold-eating ants.” Taixi replied in surprise.

Alphonse: "."

Depend on! Why didn't you tell me earlier?

"Its feces is as big as a strip, so how big is the gold-eating ant?"

"Probably a little bigger than a person." Tessie raised her hand to outline the size, "I thought you knew, you pinched and rubbed it."

How could I have known it was so big?
  Alphonse complained in his heart with pain.

However, there doesn't seem to be a smell.

No wonder no one is researching this thing. Who would have thought that it can also be used as building materials.

When you think about it, you feel disgusted. Are you going to paint the wall with feces?
  Such large ants are indeed a trouble. There are actually such monsters under the mountain in Hanfeng Territory.

"Are gold-eating ants difficult to deal with?"

"The worker ants are okay, that is, they are a little stronger than ordinary people. The soldier ants are much more troublesome. They are at least first-level monsters. The male ants are even higher. I haven't seen the queen ant yet. I don't know what it is. Such a situation." Tessie answered truthfully, "Do you know what the gold-eating ants nesting here means?"

represents what? Gold-eating ants?
  This gold should refer to metal
  Alphonse was no fool, and he immediately understood, "You mean, there are metal minerals in their lairs?"

"That's right!" Tessie gave Alphonse a thumbs up. "Although gold-eating ants can be considered omnivorous monsters and can eat flesh, flesh, and plants, metal minerals are their indispensable food. I sneaked into their trap last night. I looked around the nest, collected this piece of excrement, and saw the existence of iron ore deep underground."

There are iron ore veins in the Cold Wind Territory?

Alphonse was astonished and said, "No, my father has asked experts from the Miners Association to explore before, but why no mineral veins were found?"

"It's very deep underground, and prospecting can't reach that deep," Tessie explained.

Only then did Alphonse understand what was going on.

Having a mine means having money, so these gold-eating ants cannot be let go.

"Shall I summon the guards and destroy them?"

Thompson was acting erratically and it was difficult to mobilize his soldiers, but Captain Simon's subordinates still had no problem.

"No!" Tessie shook her head, and the mud dust fell. "The cave passage is too small, and it is inconvenient for people to move around. I think it is enough to let Lady Mia take action, and I will lead her."

"Can we smoke them out with fire?" Alphonse asked.

Tessie shook her head again, "It can't be done, the lair is too big, and it extends in all directions, with more than one exit."

If they can only fight deep into the lair, it will be difficult for the soldiers to expand their formation and exert their combat effectiveness.

"Then I'll go with you." Alphons had just completed his magical power, and he had also greatly strengthened himself. He couldn't be spared from such a thing.

Tessie didn't expect that Alphonse would take the initiative to put himself in danger, so he hesitated for a moment, but thinking that with Mia, a high-level swordsman, accompanying him, there shouldn't be any problems, so he agreed immediately.

"You go and wake Mia up, and I'll ask the cook to prepare the food. We'll go up the mountain after dinner." Alphonse knew very well that Mia didn't sleep all night last night, and she might be angry after being woken up. It's better not to get into trouble with her.

If you are a dead Taoist friend rather than a poor Taoist, just let Taixi do the work.

"Okay." Tessie didn't expect that Alphonse had sinister intentions, so she agreed without hesitation.

While the cook was busy, Alphonse came to the courtyard outside the castle and looked around, trying to find a place to try his moves.

But none of the trees looked like an eyesore.

If the disaster is over, there will be no place to enjoy the cool air in summer.

After thinking about it, it seems that only half of the tree stump that was chopped down by Mia when she showed the power of the first level fighting spirit was still there.

With a rush of luck, Alphonse's palm brought out a thin black light and patted it.
