Chapter 566： Forest Mine

Falling in love with youkanshu.com, the lord of the whole people: my talent is 100 million points stronger

Next, Lei Xiao and his party left the City Lord's Mansion in Gelin City.

In addition, in the nearby area, Ye Cang, Chaoyan and other main subordinates reunited, and they galloped away together in the direction of the new mining area in the back mountain of Gelin City.

It is worth mentioning that, in order to hide from the public, Li Xia and Reese did not go directly with Lei Xiao and others.

But under the instructions of Lei Xiao, after staying in the city lord's mansion for a while, he went to the destination via another route.

In addition, before leaving, Lei Xiao also gave the two siblings a storage ring, an invisibility cloak, ten second-order healing potions, and ten third-order advanced pyrotechnics. A bullet scroll, and a set of knight equipment such as the fourth-order lance, the fourth-order long sword and the fourth-order light armor.

Since Lei Xiao upgraded his armor from the very beginning, he upgraded it together with accessories such as helmets, boots, and gauntlets. When he gave armor to other subordinates and guards, he also used it to match.

So, of course, it was equivalent to changing Lisha and Reese from head to toe, so that the fighting power of the two had a qualitative leap.

As for the two sets of Tier 3 knight equipment that the two had previously equipped, Lei Xiao had also withdrawn them and upgraded them.

Just got the third-tier equipment that can equip an elite knight squadron, and a brand new fourth-tier knight equipment.

Just like that, along with the wind and lightning all the way.

When two suns, one big and one small, begin to slowly descend between the sky and the mountain tops, the orange-red sunset will fill the sky.

Lei Xiao and his group, who were already in the Houshan new mining area, reunited with the Richards and brothers.

"Lord Lord, what should we do now?"

Li Xia, who bowed to Lei Xiao and stood by a small stream, asked eagerly.

At this time, she, like Reese on the side, had changed into a dark blue knight uniform, which made her figure significantly slender than before.

I saw that under the setting sun, her slender body reflected an orange-red tall figure in the gurgling stream behind her, with rippling ripples, looking full of air.

Compared with Rin, who is also a knight, although Li Xia's behavior is a little more immature, it can definitely be called clean.

"Is this the area where the abandoned ore veins of the new mining area are located?"

Gently patted Li Xia on the shoulder, signaling him to relax, and Lei Xiao said immediately.

"Back to the Lord, that's exactly what happened."

Feeling the warmth from Lei Xiao's palm, Li Xia's expression was obviously much calmer.

He then quickly responded: "Since the old mining area was abandoned, this new mining area has been mined for more than a hundred years, and many of the ore veins have been exhausted, and this area is the depleted abandoned ore vein area."

Directly opposite, while listening to Li Xia's reply, Lei Xiao looked around.

The place is desolate and overgrown with weeds. There are only criss-crossing abandoned metal tracks and entrances to large and small mines, all over the place.

The sun was setting in the west, and the desolate environment was almost no different from the old mining area where Su Ru, Su Mo and others were located.

"Understood, then leave it to me."

After observing the surrounding environment, Lei Xiao pondered for a while, and said in deep thought, "Although I don't know what happened to your father, since it was non-human, it would definitely leave some subtle traces."

After he finished speaking, Lei Xiao first nodded to the knotweed and Hong Ye next to him, signalling them to perceive again.

Then, from Li Xia's hand, he took an ordinary second-order knight's sword that Castle Lord Hod usually uses for training, and then handed it to Bai Wei, who had always maintained the form of a white giant wolf.

This is what Lei Xiao told Li Xia to prepare in advance. Although so many days have passed, the possibility of directly finding Lord Hod by smell is very slim.

But as long as some clues can be searched, coupled with the perception of the two fifth-order powerhouses, if they are positioned in such a cross, the search efficiency will naturally be maximized.

On the other side, the huge body was lying on the ground with its two front paws, the furry white wolf head approached, and the huge and comfortable black nose, at the position of the knight's sword hilt, sniffed and sniffed carefully.

Immediately, as the fluffy fur of the white giant wolf trembled, he swung his big tail wildly and went to search on his own.

Seeing this scene, Li Xia and Reese, who were on the side, couldn't help but look surprised again.

The aura emanating from the white giant wolf was obviously much higher than the two of them, and coupled with the huge sharp fangs around its mouth, it could be said to be terrifying.

And Lord Lord, it is incredible that such a terrifying beast can be tamed like a puppy.

At this moment, Li Xia and Reese had no doubts at all. If they were the two of them, facing this fierce white giant wolf alone, even if they fought together, I am afraid that the result would be only nine deaths.

Just when the two of them had increased their admiration for Lei Xiao.

The knotweed and Hong Ye also flickered and disappeared in place, as if they had found some clues.

Just like this, when the two suns completely set, the orange-red sky began to change to dark blue.

The knotweed, Hong Ye, and Bai Wei, who had reincarnated in human form, who went out to explore, returned to Lei Xiao together.

When I saw that they went out, there were two people and one wolf, and when they came back, there were three people. Lisha and Reese, who were full of expectations but were inexplicable, didn't wait to react.

Directly opposite, Hong Ye took a step forward first, bowed and said, "Reporting to the lord, the three of you have found the trace of Lord Hod!"

After Hong Ye finished speaking, Hu Zhang and Bai Wei, who were on the side, also nodded.

"Great!"

Hearing this, the two brothers and sisters around Lei Xiao couldn't help but start cheering and jumping with excitement, and even the doubts about Bai Wei's sudden appearance were instantly forgotten.

"Good job."

Dan Dan smiled, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and motioned to the dragon woman in front of him to continue.

"Lord Lord, through the energy perception of his subordinates and the knotweed, although he did not find the breath of a fourth-order powerhouse, he found that in this valley, there is a faint energy fluctuation of unknown origin."

I saw Hong Ye still maintaining a respectful posture, and said valiantly: "Because the terrain in the mountains is extremely complex, coupled with the faint energy fluctuations of unknown origin, it is hidden and appears from time to time, and it is extremely difficult to capture.

So, thanks to Bai Wei's olfactory guidance, we were able to find out in time the exact direction of the faint energy fluctuations. "

"Sister Hong Ye won the prize, I just found a general direction."

Hearing the sound, Bai Wei, who was on the side, smiled shyly, and took off the illusion mask on her face.

So far, when Li Xia and Li Xia saw the furry ears on top of Bai Wei's head, they both opened their eyes and realized it with hindsight.

It turned out that there was actually a Snow Wolf Clan beside the Lord Lord, who had always held a lot of hostility towards the Human Race!

"If they found out that Hong Ye was actually a dragon, they would be shocked and fainted on the spot."

With a helpless smile, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and motioned to the three people in front of Hong Ye to continue reporting.

"Lord Lord, all in all, after a careful search, the subordinates and the others finally found a long-abandoned mine in the mountains over there!"

Speaking of which, Hong Ye stretched out her slender fingers and pointed to the two western peaks where the sun had just set.

At this time, two bright moons were quietly in the sky, and the sky was completely dark, and I could only vaguely see that there was a forest area with lush vegetation.

"Lord Lord, at the entrance of the long-abandoned mine, my subordinates really smelled the smell of Lord Hod!"

On the other side, Bai Wei shook her big white tail and followed suit: "Also, there is only one person's footprint in the cave, so it can be matched!"

"Very good, then it's not too late, let's go and see."

Taking a deep breath of the refreshing night breeze, Lei Xiao first waved his hand, and then took his own steps.

Next, it didn't take long.

Under the guidance of the three people in Hong Ye, Lei Xiao and the other subordinates stood at the entrance of the mine.

Looking closely, this place is not located on the mountain wall, but in a depression overgrown with weeds, which leads all the way to the ground.

The abandoned and broken minecart rails at the entrance were completely covered by the surrounding vegetation.

In addition, the front of the mine is also full of bushes. If you don't search carefully, it is obviously difficult to find the entrance.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a hidden abandoned mine in this location."

For Lei Xiao to pull out the weeds blocking the road in front of him, Li Xia couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

"Even where you don't know, it's no wonder that in the previous search, nothing was found."

He smiled helplessly, and Lei Xiao immediately said, "Let's go in and check it out."

Next, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, A Ling, and A Bing were left behind to guard the door.

Lei Xiao took the knotweed, Hong Ye, Ariel, Bert, Ju Bai, Ye Cang, Chao Yan, Bai Wei, Fang Hai, and the two brothers and sisters of Richard Li, a total of eleven subordinates, and walked in. This underground mine.

Lei Xiao, who had just stepped into the mine, noticed it as he walked along the not steep descending passage and easily crossed the bushes that were nearly one meter high.

Although the environment here looks very normal, there are even grooves inlaid with light spar on the solid cave walls on both sides.

However, there was a very strange energy fluctuation in the air.

According to Lei Xiao's perception experience during this period, it can be easily analyzed.

This kind of strange energy fluctuations, the frequency is slow and without waves, giving people a lifeless vicissitudes of ancient feeling, obviously not issued by the living body.

"Lord Lord, what the subordinates and Hong Ye perceive is this strange energy fluctuation. Presumably, the disappearance of Lord Hod has some potential connection with it."

A rough voice sounded, and the knotweed, which was tightly guarding Lei Xiao's side, bowed his head and said respectfully to Lei Xiao.

"That's it. It seems that my father was nearby by chance and noticed the strange energy fluctuations here, so he came to check, and then encountered something unknown."

Hearing the sound, Li Xia, who was following behind Lei Xiao, nodded thoughtfully and muttered to himself.

"It seems that things are likely to occur at the source of strange energy fluctuations. Everyone should be careful, no one knows what will happen ahead."

Under the illumination of Ariel's magic ball of light, Lei Xiao walked in the tunnel, which was narrow on the outside and wide on the inside.

After Lei Xiao finished speaking, the surroundings immediately became quiet, only the footsteps of the crowd and the looming strange energy fluctuations were still rippling back and forth in the empty passage.

After walking for about ten minutes, a group of twelve people appeared in front of a dark mine hall.

With Ariel's fingertips dancing, after many magical light **** scattered, this dark mine hall was instantly bright as day.

At first glance, I saw that this place was extremely spacious, with two or three hundred square meters, and there were gravel and rusted iron picks and other tools scattered everywhere, and it looked extremely messy.

At the same time, Lei Xiao keenly noticed.

Different from the other mines I went to, although it was messy, there was neither the feces and bones of monsters nor spider webs, which made people wonder.

And, even more puzzling.

In this mine hall, there are no other passages. The metal track extending along the entrance also stopped abruptly at the end of the hall. Obviously, it did not continue to be laid.

"Lord Lord, this is not an abandoned mine at all, but a dead hole that has stopped excavating before it has been mined."

On the other side, Li Xia, who also noticed this, had a look of surprise on her fair face.

He continued: "Moreover, from the way the tracks are laid, it has been abandoned here for at least a hundred years..."

"It's actually a rare dead hole? What was the reason that caused the mine to stop mining?"

I saw Reese's bewildered look, and muttered to himself, "You know, every inch of land in the new mining area is so precious that it has almost never happened that mining has been stopped for no reason."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao also had a thoughtful look, and continued to look around.

"Lord Lord, come and see, the single-person footprint that has been extending in before has suddenly disappeared here!"

After a while, Bai Wei's surprised voice came from the end of the hall again.

"Come here."

Hearing the sound, surrounded by the knotweed, Lei Xiao immediately took his own steps.

When he was near, Lei Xiao noticed.

Just like what Bai Wei said, there is an obvious human footprint, and it really stopped abruptly at this position, as if being picked up by a giant from behind.

When they first entered the cave, Lisha and Reese had already confirmed excitedly that, judging from the texture and size of the shoe print, it was exactly what Marquis Hodder left behind.

"Lord Lord, it seems that my subordinate's father disappeared here!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Xia's crisp voice rang again in Lei Xiao's ears.

"That's right, strange energy fluctuations, footprints that suddenly disappeared..."

Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao turned to Bai Wei on the other side and said, "That smell..."

However, Lei Xiao hadn't finished speaking before he was surprised to find out.

The Snow Wolf clan woman who was still beside her just now has completely disappeared.
