Original War

Chapter 466 Don’t pry!

Cang!

The second shovel shoveled up, the front edge of the shovel deformed again, but the stone on the ground showed no trace.

“Hey, I don’t believe it, and I can’t pry it out!”

The man used a deformed shovel to scrape off the dust on the ground, and some small rocks around it were also pulled aside.

After erasing the blocking stone, he finally saw the stone.

A small torch was inserted on the wall of the pit next to him. With this faint light, the man saw a piece of white on the ground, the color was as bright as frozen ice and snow.

Could it be…have dug a treasure? ! !

The man was overjoyed, and he was happy, and a person squeezed over.

“What’s this? Let me see.”

“Hey, what are you squeezing? I dug this out!” the man shouted.

“What’s wrong?”

Other people in the pit also heard the sound and saw this white piece on the ground. They distinguished it carefully. They didn’t know what it was. They had never seen it before.

“Is this ice?” Someone asked.

“I feel… it’s cold, but it’s not ice, it’s hard,” said one person after crouching and touching it with his hand.

“It’s not ice, I look at it, it looks like a spar.” An older person speculated.

Spar? !

Not only the person who discovered the stone first, but also the others.

The spar is good. Although the price varies, even the spar that is completely used as a decoration is sold well in the city, especially the slave owners like this.

However, here in the salt mine, in this place where there are fire crystals, maybe it is something extremely precious! Didn’t you see that both of the shovel broke?

“I’ll report to the leader!” The one with the fastest reaction rushed out of the pit first and asked the leader for credit.

The others took a step slower 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 this suspected spar did not leave, clinging to his own piece of land, even if someone was the first to ask for credit? He dug out this piece here, and the leader will be rewarded by that time.

Other people in the pit also had their brains turning fast. Seeing the white piece under that person’s feet, he quickly picked up the tool and moved swiftly to dig down. Other people also reacted. Since the fire crystal is not only in one place, then this kind of spar , Is there under their feet? The person just digged deeper than they did.

Sure enough, after a while, I heard another “clang” sound like a metal collision.

“Haha, I dug it too!”

“Me too!”

“It’s the same with me!”

Lifting all the stones and soil away, the people in the pit found that there were all this white spar under their feet, all! They couldn’t find the edge at all, perhaps, this spar was much bigger than they thought! It’s a whole spar!

“Hiss, it’s so hard, how do you pry it down?” Someone tried several tools, but only a trace was left. They didn’t knock off any of them, and they couldn’t dig it.

“Stupid! Prying also requires technology!” A senior digger triumphantly turned a chisel and a copper hammer out.

I saw the man squatting, looking carefully on the ground, then stopped at one place, put the chisel close to the ground, and then slammed the hammer vigorously.

Others only noticed at this time that the large spar on the ground was not flat, but with some wrinkles and some gaps, like divided blocks of similar size and shape, almost hexagonal connection. , There are bumps and depressions on the slightly lighter edge of each piece, which should be a gap. The man just stuck the sharp edge of the chisel in the bulge or depression, and then grasped the short rod on the chisel, with his other hand swung the hammer, and hit the chisel hard.

Cang! Cang! Cang!

Just a few more clicks without a pry, the shadow of the hammer flickered, and the sound of percussions seemed to be connected together.

Click!

The chisel blade was rolled up, and a white lump broke away and was pried to fly. The person next to him had quick eyes and jumped on the wall of the pit to grab the small white lump that was not as big as a palm. And the nearly hexagonal block trace on the ground lacks a small corner.

The person who grabbed the white crystal block leaned to the torch, and observed what the white crystal block was through the firelight, and the others also looked closer. The supervisors above all went down to watch.

“Spar, it must be spar!”

“Look, there seems to be a pattern on it!”

“What pattern is this? Frozen snow flakes?”

“What is a snow flake? This is called Jinghua!” Someone showed off his own knowledge.

“It’s a bit like.” The person holding the crystal block also put it in his mouth, and was shivered by the ice, “It’s cold! It’s hard!”

“Quickly, pry a few more pieces before the leader comes over!”

Others also think so, don’t talk nonsense, quickly grab a chisel and hammer, and those who can’t get it also fight. There are not only Liehu people in this pit, but also people from the Sen tribe. When it comes to interests, it’s Contradictions and conflicts are easy to appear.

The man who snatched the chisel began to slap the hammer bitingly.

The leader of the fiery fox is discussing the harvest during this period with the people of the Sen tribe, and the coping strategies afterwards. The people they sent have found out the movements of the Taihe tribe and the mountain wind tribe, but the people who watched in the past were found. After losing a few, they were slaughtered by the opponent.

The three tribes over there are coming fiercely, and the current situation is probably not good. I don’t know if they will come over to grab things from them, so I have to be on guard. They have made long-term preparations here. Although they didn’t expect the changes to be so powerful, they have food and fur, and they have collected a lot of firewood.

While discussing, the fire crystal digger came over excitedly and reported that he had dug a new crystal stone.

This is indeed good news, and the leaders of the Liehu and the Sen tribe stopped talking, and rushed over there.

“If it’s really a new spar, I don’t know how valuable it is.” The leader of the Sen tribe who walked toward the pit was happy.

“Anyway, it’s a good thing. I’ll just say that you will definitely not suffer from this choice.” The leader of Liehu was also quite excited.

“Let me see, what kind of spar is it?”

They didn’t notice that the bird of the Sen tribe, which had been ignored for a few days, and the fox of the Liehu tribe, had already begun to tremble. Do not leave, scream or scream, wishing it was really a stone. It’s not that they don’t want to scream, but they are too scared to scream. Others only think they are frozen.

…

In the salt cave at 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 Zhengluo and the others.

Even if the three leaders couldn’t hear them, they could listen to Shao Xuan’s description, and they kept beating the drums in their hearts, and they were very nervous. I can’t hear it myself, but I can only use other people’s narration, which feels really bad.

“Wait! Something’s wrong!”

Shao Xuan’s sudden words caused the three leaders to stand up nervously.

“What’s wrong?!”

“The interval between heartbeat sounds is less, the voice is getting louder, and the change is so fast!” The cold sweat on Shao Xuan’s head came out. He didn’t know what it was. Sweating was just a physiological reaction brought by intuition, which was beyond control at all. .

The hearts of the three Zhengluo all hung in their throats, staring at Shao Xuan, waiting for Shao Xuan to take the words. But Shao Xuan’s next words made them fall into an ice cave.

“Leader, I have a guess.” Shao Xuan swallowed, forcibly suppressing the tremor in his heart. This kind of feeling hasn’t been there for a long time. He still remembered that he had felt a similar feeling when he was lost in the early hunting.

“You…you say!” Zheng Luo stammered rare.

“I suspect that there is a king beast down here!” Shao Xuan said this sentence almost word by word, and every word he said, it seemed like a boring hammer hammered into the hearts of the three of them.

“Wang…Wang…”

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 are just heard, 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 notes of their ancestors, from the stories handed down from generation to generation.

No one wants to face the king beast, that is the real king. In the stories handed down, there have been many stories about the king beast easily ruining a tribe. They don’t want to investigate the true or false 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’s just Shao Xuan’s illusion.

“In a very early time, I met Wang Beast, and my feeling now 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 only a little regretful before, now they regret that they can’t wait to hit the wall.

That is the king beast! Not those miscellaneous fierce beasts they hunted on weekdays!

How can it be beaten?

Even if these people in their cave are all combined, can they really fight? If it weren’t for Shao Xuan, they wouldn’t even hear the beast’s heartbeat! I am afraid that the three leaders of them may not be able to keep a few people in the team if they fight their lives! !

This is a dream, this must be just a dream.

…

In the salt cave of the fierce fox.

The leader of the strong fox and the leader of the Sen tribe went down to the pit to watch the others busy, holding a cold crystal block that was hard to pry off in their hands, and there was no joy on their faces, but there was an inexplicable panic, and he couldn’t breathe in panic.

“Wait, stop first, don’t pry! I told you not to pry!” Leader Liehu almost roared.

The others looked at them suspiciously, wondering why the leader suddenly made such a big fire, and the pit was silent for a while.

Click, click, click——

The faint sound was quite clear in this silence.

A breathtaking pressure and coolness to the bones spread all over the body in an instant.

An overseer lowered his head stiffly, looking at the hanging sword in his hand, and saw that the tip of the sword against 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. The two leaders who reacted quickly had already rushed up along the wall of the pit, while those with a slower reaction time found that they could no longer walk, and their feet were frozen on the spar. My feet were numb with frost, but now I found that it was not numb, but completely frozen, even the blood was frozen.

laugh–

The white spar slabs under their feet began to move, and the frozen them could only be carried against the wall of the pit next to them. They couldn’t escape, it was useless for them to chop their feet now, the frost had spread over their waists, and the entire lower body had lost consciousness.

boom! boom! boom!

A series of crashing sounds came out from under the pit, and the leader of Liehu didn’t need to look down to know that the people below had been broken into pieces.
