let go of that priestess

......

After packing up their bags and bringing food and drink, the two set off up the mountain, heading towards the left side of the mountain, a place they couldn't see from their position.

The reason why Ji Cheng made up his mind to set off was——

Dragon, this kind of creature that has never been understood on the blue star, since it really exists here, it should also have its biological characteristics.

Just like a bird has feathers, a fish has scales, a bat emits ultrasound, etc., it should have its own biological characteristics.

For example, it breathes fire...

For another example, maybe the spewing fire is really real magma?

Not impossible!

I haven't had a deep understanding of this kind of creature, this is just a reasonable assumption based on the sparks overflowing from the dragon's mouth.

Then replace it according to this idea, the dragon is regarded as a biological "crater", why can't sulfur deposits be found near this "crater"?

Ji Cheng's heart is pounding, not only because of his bold assumption, but also because, at present, it seems that this should be his last hope to find sulfur.

Trek all the way with complicated moods.

Starting early in the morning, they climbed over the ridge and came to the left side of Liyan Mountain at around 2:[-] pm.

Then, after searching for a while according to the vague information left by the three generations of the Damu tribe during the sacrificial period, they entered a steep cliff terrain that should be located below the top of the mountain (you must take a look at this picture).

Entering this terrain, the trees on the surrounding mountains seem to be much less.

While walking, Ji Cheng suddenly sniffed his nose. He was startled, but he didn't dare to be happy, so he turned to the girl to confirm:

"Did you smell it?"

"Well, it seems to be the pungent smell you mentioned before?"

"Ah, you smelled it too." Ji Cheng cheered up, sniffed again carefully, and then led the girl to change directions.

"Come on, let's go this way!"

"Oh."

Another 10 minutes later, the surrounding trees became even rarer, and the smell in the air became stronger and stronger.

Ji Cheng pulled the girl into a trot, and the next moment, the surrounding trees completely disappeared.

They also finally saw the 'God Throne' described in the records of the Damu tribe——

A colorful, after many years, a huge 'god seat' hidden in the mountains.

Ji Cheng opened his mouth wide in shock.

Jiang Hongdou beside him was also shocked by the strange scene in front of him.

The two stood blankly for a while, then the girl came back to her senses, pulled La Jicheng's sleeve, and asked in a low voice:

"Is this what the magma looks like after it solidifies? Is there sulfur?"

"No, not..."

Ji Cheng felt his lips trembling.

He stared wide-eyed at the colors that he could see in his sight, and said with difficulty and excitement:

"It's not just sulfur, it's incredible, what did I see!?

A mixed deposit of nickel, copper, lead, zinc, iron, and sulfur! ?

Depend on!This is something that the dragon sprayed out! ?

We sent it!Really sent! "

"Eh?"

Jiang Hongdou was taken aback, and then was dragged by the excited Ji Cheng to run over.

Ji Cheng took out the stone axe, his eyebrows were beaming, and he chiseled while saying: No matter what, quickly pick some and bring them back! "

......

......

From Yanshan.

mountain top.

The mountain wind is howling here, not a single blade of grass grows, and on the open space among the rocks, there is a huge creature lying cross-legged.

Looking carefully, this creature has fangs and claws, and its body is covered with red scales. It looks like a giant red dragon!

The red dragon was dozing off. Suddenly, it seemed to sense something, raised its head slightly, opened its huge vertical pupils, and glanced down the mountain.

After staring at it for a few seconds, a hint of doubt flashed in its pupils.

But then, he closed his eyes casually, lowered his head, continued to lie cross-legged, snorted, and two balls of flames spewed out from his two nostrils.

"roar~"

This growl sounded like a cat stretching its back.

The dragon's mouth smashed, and the dragon dream seemed to be dreaming of something delicious, and he ate very happily.

Chapter 42 The Curse of Hate

Outrageous!

At night, at the camp, Ji Cheng couldn't help sighing as he looked at the harvest in front of him.

This time I went up the mountain, not only got sulfur, but also got many other very useful metals!

It's just that after a final inspection, the amount of these metals is not too large.

Therefore, it is a bit exaggerated to say the word 'mineral deposit' excitedly.

The amount of ore of various types of mines, if measured by self-made small carts, can probably hold 2-3 carts for each type.

That is to say, the 'sacred seat' on the cliff can be hollowed out by the two of them going back and forth a few times.

The reason for this super small deposit phenomenon, after some guessing, Ji Cheng felt that he was close to the truth of what happened back then——

Above the cliff is the top of the mountain. If you look down or look at it from a distance, the whole is indeed a bit like a seat.

Then a giant dragon breathed from top to bottom, and finally poured out a beautiful 'God's Seat'.

The reason why the dragon can breathe out such a superb breath is not yet understood, and it is only temporarily designated as a biological characteristic of the dragon.

Ji Cheng was still sighing: "I really want to spray it a few more times. Did the Damu clan only see it once so long ago? What a pity!"

"Hey! It's dangerous to spray too much..."

Jiang Hongdou looked at him and warned, "Don't worry about that, boss."

"Huh? How else can I get on top?"

"Go to the top of the mountain and find the dragon..."

Jiang Hongdou looked into his eyes and said, "I don't know you yet, dare you say that you haven't thought about it?"

"..."

Ji Cheng frowned, touched his nose and admitted, "Well, I've thought about it, after all, dragons are very useful creatures in this way...

But don't worry, although I am quite curious about it, I will definitely not go to death right now. "

"Hey, you..."

Jiang Hongdou understood Ji Cheng's intention of not giving up, and felt anxious, wanting to persuade him again.

But when the words came to her lips, she suddenly remembered something, stopped again, frowned slightly, and asked again:

"The one you said before, the powerful thermal weapon, compared with the dragon?......"

"Ah, of course." Ji Cheng nodded: "If the dragon only relies on physical strength, fangs and claws, and spewing magma to attack, it will be nothing compared to powerful thermal weapons, far worse."

"..."

Jiang Hongdou's face froze, and after a while he said helplessly: "Okay, you are allowed to keep dangerous thoughts...

But when you really get that powerful power, you have to show it to me, otherwise, I won't let you go! "

"Oh, I see~"

Ji Cheng was startled when he heard the words, then came over with a smile and touched the girl's head, and said softly:

"As long as you are by my side, you will naturally witness all this with your own eyes. Isn't our first step to do a black powder test?"

Having said that~ I care so much this time because I like it? "

"Hmph... You, think for yourself."

Jiang Hongdou looked at Ji Cheng's gaze, and blushed. For some reason, she was a little bit speechless at the moment, who used to be straightforward.

She faltered, then slapped Ji Cheng's hand off, and walked quickly into the house as if running away.

"When you come back, go to bed and rest, what are you talking about...

Gather enough energy, I will take you to find Piyi Cave tomorrow. "

......

......

The skinwing, or bat's burrow, is the closest, on the side of a tributary downriver.

The next day, when Ji Cheng followed the girl to the entrance of the cave, held up the torch, and faintly saw the columnar rocks hanging from the ceiling of the cave, he was stunned.

"Oh, this is a cave!"

"The cave?"

"Ah, yes, didn't we find limestone before, it's underground, I guess it should be connected to this side.

A cave is a cave in which limestone has been eroded by water. "

Ji Cheng explained, and pointed to the creek-like water flow in the cave below: "There must be an underground river here, and it has turned into a cave over the years."

"Oh." Jiang Hongdou watched the water flow with him, and suddenly realized something:

"I seem to remember that you said that the first step in making potassium nitrate is to soak bat guano in water, so here?"

"That's right, it's very likely that this place has already done the first step of processing for us~"

Ji Cheng smiled, and went into the hole first, letting the girl follow behind: "Now I will lead the way and see if I can find a natural reaction pool."

After walking for 2 or 3 minutes, after turning a corner, the vision in front of me became wider.

Under the light of the torch, it seemed to see a dark shadow.

Ji Cheng stopped in his tracks, raised the torch as high as he could, and took photos around him.

In a concave area on the roof of the cave, a dense pile of bats nestled together was seen.

"emmmm"

Seeing this scene, instinctively makes people feel a little physically uncomfortable.

Ji Cheng turned to the girl and said, "You think this creature is unknown?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Hongdou's expression was a little nervous, she pulled Ji Cheng's clothes, stared at it, and nodded slightly:

"The closer you get to it, the more it will make the people sick. Although I don't know the reason, I usually explain to the people that it is a curse of hatred and an evil force."

"...good guy."

Ji Cheng wanted to laugh a little: "You are really the king of fooling around, you did a good job~"

"Huh... the previous priest also said the same thing, I learned from her, I can't explain it inconsistently to the people..."

Jiang Hongdou stomped her feet, looked away, bit her lip and looked at Ji Cheng: "So why does it make people sick, tell me."

"Well, if I say that contact with bats generally does not make people sick, do you believe it?"

"Eh?" Jiang Hongdou was taken aback: "Really?"

"Really." Ji Cheng shrugged and said, "Otherwise I wouldn't have followed you without taking any precautions.
