Chapter 1836 Task Assignment
Elder Ma, Elder Zhao and Wang Lun naturally left Mengze City smoothly. When flying in the air, the three of them rode on the same flying boat, and the big wildebeest became normal form and became a foal.
The little foal stood at the end of the flying boat and looked extraordinary, unlike a ferocious beast full of tyrannical aura, and seemed to have a bit of wisdom in his eyes.
Of course, Wang Lun also wanted to attack this spirit beast, after all, there was no shortage of travel tools.
Elder Ma has returned to his appearance as a boy, while Wang Lun and Elder Zhao have not recovered their form. Anyway, they have to cover up their original faces in the future, so they are too lazy to recover.
Wang Lun realized along the way that the boy was wary of himself and did not give him any chance to act alone.
Now, the messenger jade slip used to connect with Zhou Yuan has vibrated in the storage ring three times in total.
The most recent time is now.
The jade slip vibrated at the most, and then Zhou Yuan did not continue to try to contact him. He must have judged that he could not answer in time.
"Zhou Yuan contacted me three times in a row within a few hours, but every time he contacted, he only made the Jade Sword shock for one round, and he would not try to continue contacting him immediately. There should be no urgent matter to come to me."
Just like when you are in the earth, if you have an urgent matter, you will call the other person's cell phone. The first time you ring for 60 seconds, the phone will automatically hang up, and then you will make a second call immediately. Because there is an urgent matter, you need to contact someone as soon as possible, and this is usually done.
Now that Zhou Yuan has not done this, Wang Lun feels that it is not a particularly urgent thing for Zhou Yuan to contact him. In other words, Zhou Yuan’s preparations did not completely fail.
Only if you fail completely will you rush to tell him.
Of course, it is unknown whether Zhou Yuan has been prepared successfully. After all, Zhou Yuan contacted himself three times, and it may be that the preparation process is not going smoothly and he needs his own assistance.
But even so, he couldn't help at all. Wang Lun glanced at the boy sitting in the middle of the flying boat. The latter immediately felt something and glanced at him. It seemed that the boy was going to be on guard against him all the way.
Wang Lun knew that the boy was not under Guo Qunqi's instructions and suspected that he had a strange intention, so he was on guard against him. The real reason was that the boy was hostile to him and stared at him, and was always ready to pick on the tricks.
If you cannot contact Zhou Yuan in time, Wang Lun will of course follow the original plan. After all, the two of you discussed it in advance.
The flying boat continued to fly, neither fast nor slow. Elder Zhao chatted with Wang Lun all the time. The boy seemed to have a high opinion of himself and thought chatting with Wang Lun was a loss of price. Only when Elder Zhao asked about it would say a few words.
Finally, after entering Yunzhou, the flying boat flew over the sky above Dalong City. From a distance, he could see a spiritual mine in front of him. Of course, it was Elder Zhao who pointed it to Wang Lun.
The spirit mine is in the mountains and forests, and the surrounding trees have been cut down. There are many buildings standing, and there are no less than eight sentry towers around it.
The height of each sentry is more than three times that of an ordinary building. The sentry can see a long distance from the view from the inside.
The flying boat was hidden in the clouds, but before it could approach the spirit ore, it began to descend vertically.
"Don't you go directly to the spirit mine?" Wang Lun asked, and it was obvious that the landing trajectory of the flying boat was not going to fall into the spirit mine.
"Don't go in," said Elder Zhao, "even if we disguise ourselves and go in, it may attract the attention of enemies around the spirit mine."
Nowadays, there are only ordinary people who come to Lingmine, that is, they transport daily food and clothing.
The Nascent Soul cultivators who transported the grass from the Ling Sect have gathered and protected the spirit ore. No other cultivators from the Ling Sect will enter. After all, all the cultivators who can be drawn to the spirit ore have been drawn.
With the current protection ability of the spiritual sect monks in the spirit mine, they can still keep the breath iron inside for the time being. They attract most of the enemy's attention, and in the dark, the convoy will set out as usual and bring the breath iron out.
So in this case, even if they enter the spirit mine, no matter how careful they are, they cannot hide the eyes of the enemies around them, and will be noticed. When the convoy sets off, if they follow the convoy, even if they hide their good aura, they may be seen by the enemy.
To be on the safe side, the five Nascent Soul monks who participated in the escort mission would not enter the spirit mine, but would only wait and see in a secret place outside, waiting for the convoy to come out.
Elder Zhao explained while controlling the flying boat to descend. There was also white fog transformed by magic power around the flying boat to cover it, and then it landed directly.
The landing place is on a not very high mountain. Because it is far away from the spiritual ore, it is about 20,000 meters. Even if the height of the mountain is not high, there are no higher obstacles in front of it, and you can still see the front and two sides of the spiritual ore.
The convoy will naturally only come out of the main entrance of the spirit mine. This is a kind of confidence show. It was done in the past, and this time it will definitely not be changed temporarily.
Therefore, you only need to guard this mountain and use your magic power to improve your vision. During the day, you can see the movements of the spiritual mines 20,000 meters away.
"In a while, the other two should come over." Elder Zhao looked ahead and said, obviously this was said to Wang Lun.
Wang Lun also looked at the spiritual mine in the distance, but his vision was actually quite affected.
Because the spiritual ore is in the mountains and forests, although the trees around it have been cut down, there are still many trees on the periphery. Looking from the height they are at, in fact, part of the front of the spiritual ore is blocked by trees, and the view from the main entrance and both sides is still excellent.
But the front is undoubtedly the focus of observation. Now that you can only see the main entrance, you will always feel a little uncomfortable and wish you could get rid of the trees that are in trouble.
Another reason why Wang Lun was unhappy was that there were several roads on the front of the spiritual mine, and he could not see them at all. When the convoy came out of the main gate, there might be certain possibilities that would not be able to see the movements of the four convoys clearly.
"Here you come."
Elder Zhao suddenly shouted.
Two figures, one black and one gray, flew up from the foot of the mountain together.
Wang Lun had never seen these two Nascent Soul cultivators from Ling Sect. Elder Zhao introduced them to both sides, and Wang Lun and the two exchanged a few words.
"Okay, let's talk about the main business now." Elder Zhao didn't seem to want to waste time either.
"The five of us will be responsible for three convoys. The No. 4 convoy is only responsible for transferring the spirit stones to Yunzhou and will not go to Yezhou, so there is no need to worry about it. The No. 4 convoy will not secretly carry the Impact Iron away."
"The No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 will secretly transport the Xizhi out. Elder Su Ling and I are responsible for the No. 1 convoy, Fellow Daoist Wang and Fellow Ma are responsible for the No. 2 convoy, and the No. 3 convoy needs to be managed separately by Elder Liu."
The two of them nodded later, obviously they already knew about the allocation arrangement.
Wang Lun naturally took the opportunity to ask: "How to distinguish the No. 2 fleet?"
The boy immediately pointed at Wang Lun: "With me here, Fellow Daoist Wang only needs to follow me, and there is no need to think that this and that is useless."
Wang Lun immediately changed into a slightly cold expression: "I am also involved in the mission, but what is the area
I don’t know if the sub-contractor is deliberately guarding me?"
In order to facilitate the planning, you must ensure that the convoy you are staying in, and the route you are traveling will be the closest to Qinglan Lianjian Villa.
Therefore, I must know in advance whether the No. 2 fleet meets the requirements. If it does not, I have to find a way to re-arrange it.
"Of course there is nothing," Elder Zhao quickly stood up to smooth things over. "Fellow Daoist Wang is also a person who participates in the action, so how can he guard against you?"
Wang Lun said nothing.
Seeing this, Elder Zhao had to walk to the boy and whisper: "Elder Ma, there is no need for this."
The boy looked ugly and sent a message to Elder Zhao: "Is he still angry?"
A casual cultivator like Wang Lun should be lower than him.
Elder Zhao also sent a message to explain: "This is not a matter of whether to lose your temper or not, but a matter of distinguishing the convoy, there is no need to hide it from it. Okay, let me say it."
He knew that the boy and Wang Lun were not in the way, and he did not persuade him. After he set out, if the boy was blindly targeting Wang Lun and causing bad things, it had nothing to do with him. The only one who was punished would be the boy. He believed that the boy was not stupid and knew what to do.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, we didn't mean to hide it from you. We were going to open the map to introduce you." Elder Zhao walked back, took out a map, and spread it on the ground.
The map is simple, and the background is the main entrance of Lingmine. After the main entrance comes out, two roads are divided into two roads.
"The convoys of spiritual mines transporting spirit stones have always been equipped with horse-drawn carriages. They travel by land and only transport valuable things, such as a small number of top-grade spirit stones, which rely on birds, monsters or other flying magic weapons to save time. Of course, only one or two monks flying from the air are flying, not a convoy."
Elder Zhao pointed to the two roads on the map and continued, "The four convoys will drive carriages to leave the spirit mine. After walking out of the road on the left, it is well connected, and you can go to the official road and take the village road. In short, it is convenient to go to the surrounding cities of Dalong City, so the convoy responsible for transporting the spirit stones to various places in Yunzhou will take the left road."
"After walking out of the road on the right, the convoy had only one road to walk on a long road. This road was built by the Spirit Mine itself. After walking, you can reach Mengshan Pass. Starting from Mengshan Pass, there are several roads that can lead to the border between Yunzhou and Yezhou. The border line is so long that these roads can reach different places on the border."
"The three convoys will go on the right road and then arrive at Monshanguan, where the three convoys will part ways."
Elder Zhao closed the map briefly, took out the jade slip to activate it, and a light curtain appeared in the air, and a detailed map was on it.
After casting the spell, Elder Zhao marked the location of the spiritual mine and the location of Mengshan Pass.
Wang Lun discovered that there is indeed a way that connects these two places, which is the way that the other party mentioned to build the spiritual ore by himself.
This road is very straight and is a straight road. There are naturally other roads around it that can also reach Monshan Pass, but it is obviously a lot longer, not a straight road.
It is estimated that the spiritual mine specially built this straight road to save time for the fleet.
"Monsan Pass is here. It is a gateway, a place where various merchants often enter and exit. After the convoy arrives, they will set out from these three roads in different directions."
"This is the road that Convoy No. 1 is going to take, this Convoy No. 2..."
