Chapter 114: The Battle of the Realm

  He glanced at the water's surface, where a faint ripple was visible. He had been guiding him for quite some time now, but his disciple still couldn't truly see through himself. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the Moon Devil Spider's habit of not leaving the Magic Copper Refining Tree within a 500-meter distance. As long as it exceeded that distance, regardless of whether it caught its prey or not, it would immediately turn back to guard the tree.

  "I originally wanted to let Qianjin know that Jiangmo Sanzhan is indeed powerful, but also can't be too proud. I wanted him to experience the feeling of being pursued with a threat of death from behind. Who would have thought the result would be like this?"

  "Defeated the three demons, and even with the slash of the horse-cutting knife, it was still unable to cut through its strength. Lying in the water, stroking his chin, he secretly pondered about the Moon Demon Spider's problem. This powerful demon core is far more valuable than the half-human horse's demon core. If there's a chance to create a magical battle puppet in the future, that demon core would be an excellent choice."

  "If we add a strong bow, Qian Jing shook his head lightly: "I'm afraid it's still not enough to kill it. I don't know if the four or even five battles of subduing demons will have a chance to get rid of it?"

  The old man didn't bother to carefully lift the magic copper tree, his eyes accidentally drifting to the book "Divine Shot" in the clothes on the shore. His strong body suddenly shook, and the magic copper tree in his hand almost fell to the ground. His pupils instantly focused into a needle point, staring at "Divine Shot" for a few moments, nodding meaningfully before walking into the fog: "I'll go plant this magic copper tree. That 'Divine Shot' looks good, I'll take a closer look when I have time."

  Qianjin was enjoying the hot water massage in the bath. A vague response came, and he thought to himself that this "Shen She" was not just about looking at it so simply. He must take time to forge a dozen or so flying knives and a strong bow. However, the iron ore materials needed for forging weapons were nowhere to be found for the time being, and could only remain in the thinking stage.

  Leave Four Seasons Valley? Qianjin decided to wait a little longer, as there might not be any Lava Lake outside, and the Dou Shi Mine had not yet figured out how to collect all of it safely.

  In this world, there will always be people who risk their lives to fight for wealth and glory. If Xiaolong Lei Ming can risk his life to enter the Four Seasons Mountain Valley to find the Dou Shi mine vein, then no one can guarantee that after the accumulated snow in the Four Seasons Mountain Valley melts, there won't be a second Xiaolong Lei Ming.

  The best way is to take away all the fighting stones! However, if you want to take away all the fighting stones in a fighting stone vein, even if it's a very small one, it's not that easy.

  "If only to find a trustworthy great magician" Gan Jing climbed ashore, putting on his clothes while envying the rumored spatial storage device, which was not within the scope of magic casting. It was a small space created by a great magician through special magical powers and an unknown medium that could store certain items.

  "Magic" Qian Jin put on his clothes and let out a sigh, almost all the young masters of the Qian family had some spiritual power, but he himself couldn't gather any spiritual power at all. The matter of the magic storage space could only be thought about.

  "Still, let's go take a look at the Dou Shi Mine first." Qian Jing's figure disappeared into the fog: "Now that we're already at the peak of the third battle against the demon, we should be able to rely on brute force and the explosive power of our Dou Qi to push open that giant boulder, right?"

  "Great magician?" The old man carefully planted the magic copper tree in the fog, turned his head to look at the direction where Qian Jin disappeared, and a long, kind smile was hooked at the corner of his mouth: "Do you think I let you take this magic copper tree just to warn you?

  The old man gently teased the crystal-like fruit on the magic copper chain tree, muttering to himself: "By the time the snow melts and you leave, this thing should be ripe too. I'll give you another good thing, but whether you can swallow it is hard to say. Even after nine battles of subduing demons, he still couldn't swallow this fruit, forming a Dou boundary."

  Rumble, rumble, rumble

  The boulder rubbed against the ground, sending out bursts of rumbling sounds, and the earth trembled slightly with each friction.

  With a slightly sore arm, he looked at the dark hole below and revealed a happy smile. The explosive power of the three battles against the demon added to his brute force, and indeed pushed open the giant stone that covered the Dou Shi mine vein.

  Qianjin borrowed the sunlight shining into the pit and found that the pit was not very deep, only about two or three meters in depth, with a relatively spacious space inside.

  Qianjin didn't rush to jump into the pit, but instead looked around at the surrounding environment and pushed the movable giant stone further away again.

  Jumping into a pit is no laughing matter. If there's something on top that moves the stone back to the entrance, Qian Jin doesn't have the strength to push it up.

  A faintly visible piece of flint on the dark mine wall, Gan Jing reached out and gently stroked the stone blocks on the mine wall. The blade of his knife rose and fell, chopping at the stone blocks on the wall of the pit. In the darkness, a string of scattered sparks suddenly appeared, accompanied by the hum of metal rubbing against stone echoing continuously.

  He bent down to pick up the stone on the ground, carefully observing several cut stones under the light, and even put them on the tip of his nose to smell them hard.

  "What is this?"

  In the dimly lit mine shaft, a spark of surprise flashed in his dry eyes, like sparks flying from metal collisions: "Is this... iron ore?"

  This is an iron ore mine

  A matching mineral vein. The dryness is a bit hard to believe, but the small stones that have been cut open are indeed just like what was written in Black's "Mining Techniques", and the surrounding environment is also very consistent with the book's description, it's just that before, I was too focused on the Dou Shi mining vein, and actually neglected the knowledge of "Mining Techniques" that I had learned.

  His hands were rubbing against the stone wall non-stop, and the joyful expression on his eyebrows was getting more and more intense. He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "That's right! That's right! This is indeed an iron mine!"

  These past few days' concerns about finding materials, forging strong bows, powerful arrows and flying daggers have been completely resolved unintentionally upon entering this Dou Shi mine vein.

  "Those stones!" Gan Jing slapped his own head, and didn't even bother to search for ore and iron in the mine. He crawled out of the mine using his hands and feet, looking at this stone forest that he had walked through many times before, carefully observing the surrounding situation.

  According to the introduction of "Mining Prospecting", the formation of iron ore has certain rules. In different periods and places, under similar geological conditions, iron ore deposits of the same type can be formed. Different geological periods and tectonic movements will produce different types of iron ore deposits.

  If it weren't for the iron ore deposits underground, it would be difficult to identify the terrain here, which is very similar to a type of terrain recorded in "Mining Techniques": ancient volcanic terrain!

  As time passes, the volcano that once existed has changed due to earthquakes or other reasons and its original shape can no longer be seen. However, the earth will always leave behind evidence of what happened here, but it is difficult to find this evidence unless one deliberately searches for it with professional expertise.

  The volcano is gone, but the traces of what once was still stand here.

  Qianjin looked at the massive heavy stones in front of him and could only sigh, why hadn't he carefully observed them before? Some of these big stones were completely unrecognizable, but a part of them, after careful identification, would reveal that they were different from the Okram stones mentioned by the old man.

  This stone forest is composed of two types of stones. In addition to the Oklahama stone mentioned by the old man, there is another type that looks like Oklahama but is actually a marine volcanic rock! It contains a large amount of red mountain iron copper ore, which makes the stone extremely heavy.

  According to the records in "Mining Techniques", there are more than 300 kinds of iron ore, among which hematite is also common.

  Hongshan iron copper mine is only one of the common 170 kinds of iron ore, and it has not been buried underground, but stands on the ground mixed with stone forest. Qian Jing wouldn't dare to confirm that this is a stone containing a large amount of Hongshan iron copper mine if he hadn't observed the surrounding terrain.

  Although the specific reserves of underground quartzite veins are still unknown, Qian Jin stepped on the quartzite vein and iron ore under his feet, looking at the stone in front of him that contained red mountain copper mine, excitedly opening his arms and shouting loudly.

  Powerful bow! Strong arrow! And the elusive flying dagger! These things are no longer just imagination, made to match the guidance of "Shen She" practice, and will surely have more room for progress in the future.

  "Four Seasons Valley! My blessed land!"

  "Feng Yun Dou Qi", "Shen She", "Dou Shi Kuang Mai", "Mo He" defeated the devil in three battles! Gan Jing was suspicious, whether his good luck for a lifetime had all been used up in the four seasons valley, risking his life in the avalanche to fight hard, and the benefits gained were too many.

  Jumping back into the pit, Qian Jing casually dug out a nearly exposed boulder. Just as he pushed the giant stone back to its original place, he sprinted all the way back to the mountain valley base.

  The vast open space, the secret entrance of the mountain cave always maintains a slit.

  Four days have passed and Qianjin has not returned to the cave for four days.

  Shui Lian Ying Er's heart had already risen with a sense of despair, and although she didn't communicate much with Qian Jin in the Four Seasons Valley, she always regarded him as her true reliance. For four whole days without any news, Shui Lian Ying Er had lost her last bit of confidence that Qian Jin could come back alive. The long period of peaceful life had even made her forget that this was a life lived in the Four Seasons Valley where magical beasts roamed everywhere.

  The meat is done.

  Biluo's voice still carried a hint of timidity, even after more than a month of living together. The inherent cowardice had never dissipated, as if all her courage and boldness had been taken away by the Yellow Spring that appeared at midnight.

  Shui Lianying looked at the two hands holding the roasted meat and shook her head, her tone with a few points of impatience: "No appetite, you eat it yourself. If Gan Jing doesn't come back soon, the food will be consumed and we'll still die, whether we eat or not makes no difference."

  Unexpectedly, seven hours of time, fifty-eight monthly tickets. Cool! Seeing this number of monthly tickets, the fighting spirit of the high-rise building was ignited, and it's getting more and more intense! Come on! Let's go again! Honestly, when I started this new book's monthly ticket, I was quite at a loss, even my fighting spirit wasn't strong, I think everyone felt that. Today is different, my fighting spirit has been ignited, come on! Accompany me to fight for a while! Let's all work together to dominate the world with our monthly tickets!
