Chapter five hundred and fifty seventh land of decline
When I landed on the ground outside the Heifeng Tower Mountain, I looked back at the steep mountain wall and suddenly found that there was actually a mountain road at the corner of the mountain, winding to another cave not far from the ground. However, because the cave had been sealed by rocks, I could not find it after careful look. This may be the place where the dwarves once mined iron ore, but because of the threat from the demon, or because of other reasons, the road was blocked. If not, I believe there should be a road from inside the Heifeng Tower Mountain that can lead to this side, without having to come down like me.
Open the map of the Spring of Sorrow that is displayed in my realization. It is the same as the one in Beast Spirit Mountain, and only indicates the approximate location, which is the place I am standing at. But I have to search for it slowly.
Looking down from above, the hills are smooth and flat, but when they actually stand on it, they find that this is not the case at all. The messy stones and soil are thrown everywhere, and many abandoned mines are hidden behind the rock mounds one by one. The ground is scattered with broken clay pots, rusty shovels, and old fences with only a few wooden stakes left. Occasionally, a few weeds stubbornly emerge from the cracks of the soil, but the poor land cannot provide them with enough growth nutrients, so they all become yellow and thin. It seems that as long as the wind is a little stronger, they can be uprooted.
The land of decline, this name is really appropriate to use in such a place, with a deserted area everywhere. It seems to have been abandoned by the world.
The moving figures I saw from the sky before are now clearly standing in front of me. They are a group of sad miners, and the gray figures of dwarfs wander aimlessly on this declining land. They are also abandoned people, perhaps with their nostalgia for their hometown and the sorrow of death.
The Miner Spirit at level 50 cannot bring me too high experience, but it is very useful to practice soul collection. While searching for clues I need in the mining area, I asked a few babies to lure monsters for me and use our specially made intermediate soul staff to collect these undead spirits that were not able to pass through.
Although the mine cave was pitch black, it was not deep when I heard the echoes. Maybe it was filled in later. I found 10 or 20 mines in a row, and finally encountered a npc in a mine near the edge of the mine.
It was also a sad miner spirit. His short body was curled up in the corner of the mine, and there was a shovel left with only half of the wooden handle and a broken spear inserted into the ground.
No matter what, it is a good phenomenon to encounter NPC, and you can always know some clues. I walked over carefully, and the light emitted by the night pearl in my hand seemed to frighten the poor miner's spirit. He kept retreating and hurriedly blocked his eyes with his hands. But the gray almost transparent hands seemed to have no effect in blocking the light, which made him whimper and scream.
I put away Ye Mingzhu and walked over. I squatted in front of the miner and asked in a good voice: "Hey, why are you here? How could the dwarfs outside become like that."
The light of his eyes was not tingling around him. The dwarf miner spirit named Philip finally put down his hands. He looked up slightly and looked at me carefully. Perhaps it was Xiaoying and Xiao Hei behind me that he was so scared that he couldn't even speak. He just looked foolishly for a while, then buried his head deep into his knees and continued to cry loudly. I turned my head and put away all the pets. I comforted him with kind words. Then Philip finally dared to raise his head and look at me.
"That was the most terrifying day of my life..." Philip finally began to speak with a handful of snot and tears, telling me the experience he had suffered.
The black mist like a nightmare suddenly spewed out of the mine, which made everyone very panic. But not long after, the black gas disappeared. We all thought there was nothing, and continued to work every day, and at the same time, we were surprised to find that the ore produced began to increase and the quality was getting better and better. We found a better and better vein. The black gas might be the residual gas in the mine. But soon after, someone found several underground springs appearing around, as if they suddenly appeared. The water was very sweet, like honey. You know, working on the construction site, you want to drink clean and sweet spring water.
What a difficult thing, without too much suspicion, all the workers in the mine drank it and were preparing to transport the spring water to the city for everyone to enjoy it. But before we sent the spring water into the city, everyone was a little wrong. Everyone felt that there was a stone pressing on their hearts, heavy, and they couldn't be happy. Even the jokes that usually make people laugh and cry now seem boring. Some people started crying at any time and didn't have the heart to work. Later, someone notified the doctors in the city to see us..." Philip sobbed a few times, as if he remembered something sad and cried even harder.
After a while, he continued, choking and saying, "They said that we were not sick, but cursed by magic. Quediara's claws had reached this mine. They asked us to take our weapons and fight, and then we did that. But what was the ending, they... they actually chose to seal the road to the city and abandon us all here. Later, a great battle happened here, Quediara and his minions attacked the mine. Each of us used the shovels and hammers in our hands and those
The monsters fought tenaciously. I also participated, but when I was fighting a small monster, a magician sneaked into me behind me. I fainted before I could see the magician clearly... Later... I became like this. They told me that I was dead, but I didn't believe it. I could still talk and move. Although I would never laugh again, there were only tears in my eyes, but if I hadn't seen my body with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that I was dead. I would go back to the city. I would still go to see my mother."
The story ends here, and the system prompts me to find the Filidi corpse and bring it back to the mine. I asked the soul of the dwarf where he was finally attacked by the magician, and he said, "I don't remember it very clearly. But I remember there is a big blue shiny stone there."
This is easy to deal with. I just need to find the blue stone and maybe I can find Philip's body.
But things were not as simple as I thought. I searched all the declining lands. I didn't spare every mine, but I didn't see a large glowing stone, even the blue ones were found, and there were gray stones and messy mounds everywhere. And I didn't see the springs mentioned by Philip, and the ground was as dry as if it had been a decade of drought.
After searching for a long time, I was so tired that I sat on the top of a mine cave, took out the dry food that Yunyun prepared for me, and prepared to fill my stomach with the Yulu tea I brought. I accidentally knocked over the cup of Yulu tea to the ground, and the tea flowed down the edge of the mine cave. I didn't care, so I took out a cup again. I solved the problem of food and clothing first.
After eating and drinking, I jumped off the top of the mine cave and prepared to continue looking for the blue stone that did not seem to exist. Suddenly, I felt something was wrong, how much could that cup of rain and dew tea be? How could it be so wet? Looking at the mine in front of me, the ground seemed to be wet than other places, and it was a large area. Although there was no moisture oozing out from the surface, compared with the dryness in other places, I concluded that there was something strange below it.
Taking out the night pearl, I touched the mine cave. There were stones of large and small all around it. They were piled up in the cave in a mess, just like other mine caves, with miners' tools scattered on the ground, as well as some pots and pots.
By the way, Philip said that black air emerges from the mine, so I should look for clues in the mine, not on the ground. The battle with monster land has led me to a misunderstanding, that is, I think that the war always takes place in open places. Since they have dug veins in this place, these mines should definitely not be so shallow, but have a considerable depth.
I took out a gold steel shovel from my backpack and gently tapped the rocks in the hole. Finally, I found that there was a slight echo behind the stone in one direction, which indicated that there was another space behind the stone, and maybe it was the mine cave in the past.
I suddenly felt energetic, waving the golden steel shovel in my hands, and digging and chiseling it hard at the echoed stone wall. Not long after, I felt that the stones under the golden steel shovel began to looser and looser, and a faint blue light was faintly revealed from the narrow cracks of the rocks.
Haha, I finally found that blue stone. I was secretly happy in my heart. I also accelerated the excavation speed in my hands, increased the force, and dug it hard a few times. With a sound, a black gas spewed out from behind the stone. The surrounding rocks were spread apart by an invisible thrust, which almost made me hit by the rocks.
Blue will shine... This stone will not only shine, but also move.
What's that look at Philip? This is a stone, but not just a stone, but also a level 60 stone element. Unlike the stone god of war summoned by the goblin Pierre, this is a stone element that knows how to cast stone missiles. The stone missile wrapped in black gas is quite like a black magic ball. No wonder Philip said that he was sneak attacked by a magician.
Before I could come back to my senses from the panic of falling stones, the blue stone elemental stone missile flew towards my chest. The black aura wrapped around the missile, dragging out a long rotating tail that kept spinning, marking a bullet mark in the air. Unlike the real magic ball, the stone missile was extremely fast. In a blink of an eye, I could already feel the powerful impact force and rushed to the front with the sound of the wind. Without thinking too much, I stepped to the side and passed by the stone missile. The rock behind me was not so lucky. I could only hear a loud bang, and countless small stone flakes exploded in all directions. Smoke and dust spread in the mine cave, and the crackling sound of small stones hitting the cloak from the back was almost like a hail.
It is not our style to passively beating and not fight back. I took out the soul battle crossbow, and I aimed at the golden pattern on the waist of the blue stone element, which was a arrow. The elemental arrow that was storming hit the blue stone element, and waves of "splashes" splashed from the stone element. Then, like a stone falling into the lake, it was leisurely and silent, rippling out circles of ripples spreading. The blue light flashed, and the stone element was not damaged at all. Instead, a silver light that was exactly the same as my elemental arrow popped out from the stone hand and shot at me at the same speed.
Drink, this guy's elemental attack is invalid, and it will also rebound. The elemental arrow we shot is back intact. Humph, elemental attack is invalid, it doesn't matter, so let's use a real close combat assembly. My baby pets are all veterans, and I'm afraid I can't kill you.
After flashing the elemental arrow that rebounded, I replaced it with a dagger, and quickly walked behind the blue stone element. I raised my hand and slashed my back and slashed my throat. The red and white sword lights fell on its fatal key. Who made it so big? The weakness was so obvious.
The little black ghostly figure rushed to the stone element, grabbing and biting it; the little shadow's magic sickle slashed on the blue stone and burst out bright sparks, making a clanging metal sound. Before the other treasures came into battle, the stone element turned into a pile of fragments and mixed with the gray gravel stones.
I turned around and looked at the big hole where the stone element appeared. It was not very deep inside. Only some light blue spring water surged out from a small crack on the ground, and a familiar salty smell came to my nose. Haha. The spring of sadness! It was really a place to search through the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it. I picked, I picked, I picked...
Although I collected four spring water from the springs of sadness, I found that this was not the place I wanted to find. The springs had no roots. I only collected this little bit and it had dried up, leaving a small stone pit on the ground. I reluctantly took out the golden steel shovel and dug it hard for a while. But the spring water was not dug, but instead I found the bones.
Well, this is probably Philip's body, and we have completed a task.
After looking at the stone pit that could no longer be dug, I picked up the corpse and walked towards the mine where Philip was hiding.
No! I don't believe it!" The dwarf Philip hugged me and handed it to him, and cried loudly: "You lied to me, you lied to me! I'm not dead, I'm not dead!"
I suddenly noticed that Philip had a little finger missing on his left hand, and the corpse also had the same flaw, which means we should not be wrong. The corpse was indeed Philip's corpse. No matter how he refused to admit it, he could not deny this fact.
Sure enough, after a while, Philip's soul stopped crying unreasonably, slowly lifted the left hand of Baibo, and tears fell down, and said in a low voice: "Yes, you are not wrong. This is indeed my body, I am really dead." He slowly walked to me, looked back at his body that had become a bone, and raised his head and said: "Since I know I am dead, I don't want to stay here anymore. I don't want to become like those guys outside. Please, kind-hearted human, bury my body next to the sealed intersection of the Heifeng Tower. I want my soul to cross that path and return to my original home." After that, he took two steps back and stood on Baibo, and his body began to become more and more transparent.
He seemed to suddenly remember something and said to me: "The demons of Quediara came out of those springs, and there were seven gulps of springs to find them and destroy them. This is my last wish before my fellow companions died. Thank you, humans."
After saying that, his soul body completely disappeared in front of me, and a flash of light on the bones returned to its original appearance.
It was the dead that I buried, why did I find two springs in a row? They were all related to the burial. We all became professionals in digging graves.
OK, just do the task. Anyway, the sealed Sui Road is not far from here, and it will not take much trouble. I picked up Feili's bones again and walked towards the foot of Heifeng Tower Mountain.
Since he wanted his soul to return to his home through Suidao, the closer it was to Suidao, the better. I walked along the path to the sealed Suidao, took out a golden steel shovel and dug a small hole. Unexpectedly, I dug out a box for me when I dug it.
The rusty gray iron box is obviously old, and you can vaguely see a line of small words on it: "Give it to my favorite son - Philip." The signature is "Love your father".
I opened the box and saw that there was a mining shovel inside, and a small note with a crooked note that said: "When my father gave me this shovel, I knew that he wanted me to become Heifeng Tower Mountain, like him, and even the best miner in the world. I am not qualified to use it now, but I have already obtained the qualification to enter the mining area. One day, I will use the shovel left by my father to dig out the most beautiful gems in the world."
It seems that this should have been put in when Philip buried the box before his lifetime, but his wish can never be fulfilled. He specifically asked me to bury his bones here. Could it be that he wanted to bury it with this shovel? I was curious for a moment and picked up the dark, inconspicuous shovel and looked at it. Unexpectedly, when I saw it, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak and could no longer let go.
