Under the firelight, Wu Shengping held a dagger to identify it carefully.
There is nothing unusual about the dagger, but the handle has the word "Shi" engraved on it.
Holding the handle, he frowned and thought for a while.
"This dagger seems to be made of star steel from Tiannan Road. Tiannan Road is thousands of miles away from us. Unexpectedly, there are warriors coming to participate in the treasure hunt."
Wu Shengping was amazed, obviously recognizing the origin of the dagger.
Cao Su said silently: "That's not necessarily true. Is it possible that the dagger produced in Tiannan Dao was spread here?"
"There is absolutely no way this is possible."
Wu Shengping said very confidently: "Captain Cao, please take a look. There is also the word "Shi" engraved on the handle of the knife. If I hadn't guessed, this dagger should be a specialty dagger of the Tiannan Dao family. There is no possibility of rumors.
"
The martial arts in Tiannan Road and Jiangdong Road are different. In Tiannan Road, there are many aristocratic families, and the strength of the sects is relatively weak.
Most warriors need to rely on aristocratic families to survive, and aristocratic families provide protection for warriors.
"Don't tell me, wouldn't this also fall into my hands?"
"And I have fought against that warrior. He seems to be very skilled in this set of combos. He first takes out a dagger to hurt someone, and then hits hard with an iron rod."
Cao Su felt that the possibility of spreading was still there, but relatively speaking it was slightly lower.
The man in black robe holding the iron rod probably didn't expect Cao Su to be so strong. One set of combos failed to kill Cao Su in seconds, but he was almost taken away by Cao Su with one set.
"this........"
Wu Shengping had nothing to say. If he had to have such an explanation, it would be reasonable.
"The situation in Xiaoyun Mountain has become more and more complicated. There must be some special circumstances in the Dongshan area today. If we go into the mountain again tomorrow, we will have to increase our exploration of this area."
Cao Su thought of Tienan's panicked look and suddenly felt funny.
What is the use of running away? Can it solve the problem?
Wu Shengping handed the dagger back to Cao Su, opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
Cao Su knew what he wanted to say. He pointed at Wang Meng in the distance and said, "If Master Wu wants to act together with us, he might as well ask for the opinion of our General Wang Meng. He is our commander-in-chief."
Wu Shengping was overjoyed after hearing this.
He had led his disciples to explore the mountains before, but there had been no clues.
Now, there seems to be some progress on Cao Su's side, which makes him want to follow the government army.
It is no secret that the government troops are exploring the Dongshan area today.
If there is really any movement, all the Jianghu sects will actually know about it.
Cao Su didn't want to hide it, so he simply asked Wu Shengping to help with the search as a favor.
The entire Dongshan area is extremely wide, and with twenty more people searching, it will be easier to get results.
Wu Shengping quickly thanked him: "Thank you so much, Colonel Cao, thank you so much, Captain Cao."
Cao Su shook his head and said: "Why thank me? It's better to go find General Wang first!"
.........
The next morning.
The warriors dressed up and entered the mountain.
The government army also increased its exploration efforts.
Wang Meng personally led the team into the Dongshan area to search.
In a place with backlight on the mountain wall, a man in black robe holding an iron rod opened his eyes, and a large number of people's voices came from above his head. "Why are there so many people!"
He was anxious and felt very troubled.
Although the east mountain area of Xiaoyun Mountain is large, if there are enough people and they explore inch by inch, sooner or later they will find the entrance to the cave he discovered.
"Damn it, I can't hide it anymore!"
"It's all the fault of the military captain."
The man in black robe felt resentful, and he became more and more dissatisfied with Cao Su, whom he met by chance yesterday.
But he had no choice. This time he left the aristocratic family and went to Jiangdong Road to practice. As a lone ranger, he could not win against the court officials who often led dozens of people to besiege him.
"In this case, why don't I go to the cave to guard it first."
After the man in black robe thought of this, he put the iron rod on his back again.
Then he exerted force on his toes and quickly rushed out, heading towards the entrance of his cave.
Although he felt that the cave would be discovered sooner or later, when he encountered other warriors on the road, the man still subconsciously chose to avoid and hide his body.
Finally, under the cover of thick fog, he quietly arrived at the entrance of the cave.
He pushed aside the vines at the entrance of the cave and got into the entrance.
The entrance of the cave doesn't look big at first, but you can see it after diving down. The entrance of the cave looks like a gourd, and there is a cave inside.
The entrance to the cave was pitch black and unfathomable. The man took out his fire stick and followed the passage inside the cave into the depths of darkness.
After walking a few steps, I could already feel the hot breath coming from the cave.
At this time, a cry of surprise came from above the cave entrance.
"Sir, there is a cave entrance here!"
........
"A natural cave entrance was discovered in the Dongshan area."
The news spread like wildfire.
This made the warriors who were searching for the fire-scaled beasts energetic and excited.
"Maybe the fire scale beast is hiding in the cave?"
"The cave entrance discovered by the government army?"
There were many local warriors, and the government army had no intention of hiding anything.
And even the government army itself cannot keep the secret tightly. It is better to spread it openly and wait for many forces to come over.
The Pingcheng Prefectural Army is considered to be the strongest among the many forces, and Wang Meng has met many Jianghu sects. Under the alliance, the chance of seizing the treasure is the greatest.
The government troops under Cao Su pushed aside the vines at the entrance of the cave.
Use tools to dig out the hole.
The government troops cleared away the weeds nearby and simply moved their tents over, preparing to station themselves directly at the entrance of this natural cave.
Wang Meng took the lead and led Cao Su and more than a dozen government troops to the cave first.
"So, some warriors have discovered the entrance to the cave before?"
After descending the cave, Wang Meng walked at the front.
Cao Su followed closely behind him, followed by several imperial soldiers wearing black armor and holding torches.
The torch illuminated the entire cave.
"Yes, he should be a warrior from a famous family in Tiannan Dao."
Cao Su looked around. The cave wall was damp and cold, and there were some scrawled marks on the ground, leading downwards.
The cave walls are very hard and are made of natural boulders, so there should be no danger of landslides.
He actually didn't want to go down the hole. If it caved in, it would be no small matter.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, Wang Meng took the lead, and he was too embarrassed to say no, so he had to bite the bullet and go ahead.
Several people walked forward along the cave wall and found that the terrain gradually became gentle.
Then I felt a faint fiery breath.
"What a fire-scaled beast."
Wang Meng's spirit perked up. He was a high-level person with good martial arts skills. He immediately recognized him. This was exactly the same as the fiery aura he encountered around the fire-scaled beast in the city that day.
After walking for about a hundred meters, the hot smell became stronger and stronger.
The cave is already very flat, like flat ground.
Everyone looked along the light illuminated by the torches and saw in the distance that the cave wall had extended to the end.
When I walked out, I saw that it was a natural cave.
The karst cave is extremely large and filled with stalagmites, stone pillars, stone buds and other accumulations, forming a variety of karst landscapes.
Cao Su and the others stood on a high place, looked down, and saw a huge pool of lava.
There is a black stone square pillar in the pool with red vines wrapped around it.
At the top of the vine is a blue lotus flower that is more than ten feet large.
There is no wind in the cave, the lotus flowers are delicate and crisp, and the lotus leaves are green and ready to bloom.
"Earth Lotus!"
The Earth Lotus growing out of the lava surprised Wang Meng and others.
After Cao Su heard this, his eyes lit up.
"It is said that the Lotus in the Heart of the Earth blooms in five hundred years and bears fruit in five hundred years. It is a first-class Yang attribute spiritual treasure. Not only can it help warriors practice, its lotus fruit is also the favorite medicinal material for alchemy among ascetics."
"There are actually lotus flowers in the center of the earth here. No wonder it attracts the attention of fire-scaled beasts."
"By the way, where's the fire scale beast?"
Cao Su was most concerned about the fire-scaled beast, but looking at the entire cave, the fire-scaled beast was not there.
"The fire scale beast must be hiding. The lotus is not mature yet, so its appearance is of little significance."
"It also wants to seize the lotus fruit. What will happen after it eats the lotus fruit?"
"The fire-scaled beast is originally a Zhiyang demon beast. By eating the lotus fruit, it will increase its foundation, which will be of great benefit when it breaks through in the future."
Wang Meng and Cao Su looked at it from a high place. This natural cave covered an extremely large area, with stone pillars piled up in the distance. It was pitch black and deep, making it difficult to see clearly.
I don't know where the fire scale beast is hiding.
"Look at this Earth Lotus, it seems like it's about to mature."
"I guess it will bloom in the near future."
Wang Meng clicked his tongue and marveled that this ordinary cave in Xiaoyun Mountain could actually produce earth lotuses. If the news spread, all the warriors would go crazy.
This crypt will become the burial place of many people in the future.
"Come on, let's go down and take a seat first."
Wang Meng looked at the height and felt that it was not very high, so he jumped straight down.
Cao Su and other strength realm warriors naturally followed one by one.
But it's a bit difficult for Qi-blood warriors.
Finally, I used a rope, hung it on the stone wall, and then walked down.
