Lao Zhu stood at the foot of the mountain range, looking from a distance. The hazy distant mountains were covered with a layer of gauze, and their shadows were blurry, far and near in the misty clouds and smoke.
The blue sky.
After looking at it for a moment, he continued to lower his head and looked at the centaur footprints below him.
Although the scenery here is relatively good, Lao Zhu did not come here to enjoy the scenery. He was looking for centaurs this time.
This time I went out to hunt, and I actually saw traces of centaurs here. This surprised Lao Zhu. For him, this area has become the possession of Wild Boar City, and he does not allow others to do so.
Get involved.
No, let alone getting involved, Lao Zhu would be extremely dissatisfied even if other people looked at it.
There is one of Lao Zhu's mines here, and there are traces of centaur activities here. What does this mean? It means that the centaurs have begun to plot a conspiracy here.
It can be said that the current development of Wild Boar City cannot be achieved without the support of this mine.
What Ye Boar City sells is equipment, and this is the main source of income in Ye Boar City. If you want to build equipment, you must have minerals. If there are no minerals, this equipment cannot be built at all. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. This
This is what is said.
So Lao Zhu now has a cold face and murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
For him, these centaurs have reached his bottom line, and these centaurs absolutely cannot survive.
Exterminate, must exterminate, find these centaurs and exterminate them all.
Lao Zhu followed the centaur's footprints and began to move forward continuously. Lao Zhu's movement speed was not very fast. For him, he was not very good at finding footprints, but there were quite a few of them.
The fundamental thing is not that it happens from time to time, but that it is densely packed and continues deep into the mountains.
This situation made his face even more ugly. What do so many footprints mean?
He explained that the number of centaurs here must not be small. If it were a centaur, even if he stepped on it every day, he would not be able to make so many footprints. And in Lao Zhu's eyes, there were so many footprints.
The centaur footprints are of different sizes, so they are not exactly the same and belong to the same person.
Not only are there traces of centaur activities here, but it also explains one thing, that is, there must be a lot of centaurs.
There are so many centaurs gathered here for activities. If they don't have any idea about the mine, then Lao Zhu won't believe anything he says.
There is something in this mountain range, nothing. It's just that the scenery looks good.
But will centaurs appreciate the scenery? Definitely not. For centaurs, all this is just playing the piano to a cow.
So what are they here for? It's not that they have any plans for the mine. Lao Zhu won't believe anything he says.
At this time, Lao Zhu's heart was extremely heavy.
He meandered up the mountain road and entered the depths of the dense forest. A mountain spring flowed through the forest ravine, leaving behind a string of tinkling melody. The music from nature gently touched people's hearts.
But all this has no effect on Lao Zhu. Now Lao Zhu's mind is not here. He has put all his thoughts on the centaur. Now he is thinking about how to solve the problem.
The matter of losing a centaur.
There are mostly evergreen broad-leaved forests on the mountain, but some trees still have lost their leaves, making the entire mountain forest look simple and bright, with a strong sense of spatial perspective. The sunlight pours down through the cracks in the branches, reflecting the curling branches and leaves of the ancient trees.
The old bark looks like a poetic and picturesque photographic work.
The centaur's footprints were broken after arriving here. This was not because the centaur could no longer walk, but because of the special environment here. What caused the footprints here was that it was unclear. The speed that Lao Zhu had just increased was actually
It was slowing down again. Not only that, he stopped his pace here, and started to investigate the land bit by bit.
Here, it is a bit complicated. There is not only one road. Lao Zhu can tell it without even looking at the centaur's footprints.
Now there are three roads in front of Lao Zhu. He doesn't want to use stupid methods to directly detect one after another and then find them.
After watching carefully for a while and making some judgments in his mind, Lao Zhu found a way to move forward.
At first glance, the three roads are not opened by man. They seem to have grown like this.
No, in Lao Zhu's impression, nature would not produce such a weird appearance. If his estimate was correct, this place was opened by man a long time ago, but time has passed too long, and those man-made traces,
It has become weak and has been covered up by the magic of nature.
All this is not very helpful to the current Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu can clearly remember that there was no trace of centaurs in the mine a long time ago. Although in recent times, all the centaurs in the mine have been killed, thus leaving the wild boars
In the city, the safety measures near the mines are not in place and there are some negligence.
Regardless of whether he was negligent or not, Ye Boar City has never canceled safety inspections near the mines.
There will definitely be no oversights in every inspection. Lao Zhu is extremely confident in this point.
Therefore, during the inspection a month ago, it was absolutely impossible for centaurs to exist here.
So this means that the three roads in front of us are not recently opened up by the centaurs.
Because if you calculate carefully, the time will not match up at all.
If the traces of human development are to be covered up by the magic of nature, it will take a long time. I dare not say it will take a long time, at least it will take several months, which is still the least.
So in just one month, this is absolutely impossible.
The road on the far left was where Lao Zhu found it after searching for a long time. He began to move forward along the road on the left.
Because at this moment, he came to the only road, and his progress was not slow. But it was not very fast either, because Lao Zhu was not sure whether the centaur inside had left or was still here at this time. So.
He didn't dare to walk too fast and make noise under his feet.
Now he was walking silently step by step. If he could sneak, he would really look like a ghost at this time.
But it's a pity that Lao Zhu doesn't know how to sneak at all.
Time passed bit by bit, but the sunlight in the sky began to tilt downward.
It was the morning when Lao Zhu went out to hunt this time, but after a period of activity, it was already the afternoon when he discovered the traces of the centaur. After wasting so much time, Lao Zhu could now
It is said that the sun is setting in the west, and the horizon in the distance is filled with a dim color.
The night sky is like a navy blue curtain, dotted with twinkling stars, which makes people deeply intoxicated.
There are two crescent moons hanging in the sky. They are echoing each other from a distance, and they exactly correspond to each other.
The night was quiet at first, and everyone was already asleep. In the silence and peace, the snow-white angel slowly fell from the night sky. The light snow came with the dance music of the night. The silver moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and there were mournful cries of crickets everywhere.
The sound and the fragrance of night filled the air, weaving into a soft net, covering all the scenery. Everything that the eyes come into contact with is covered with this soft net, whether it is a plant or a tree.
None of them are as realistic as they were in the daytime. They all have vague and illusory colors. Each one hides its details and keeps its secrets, giving people a dreamlike feeling.
After entering the night, there is no sunlight illumination. Although Lao Zhu has gained some benefits, such as Lao Zhu's figure can be directly hidden under the night, the possibility of discovering Lao Zhu has begun to decrease infinitely, but
There are no disadvantages either.
That is why Lao Zhu wants to find traces of centaur activities in the dark night. It is an extremely difficult thing, and he is currently struggling.
He now has a lot of thoughts about whether he should move on.
It was difficult to find traces of the centaur in the night. So he had the idea of leaving temporarily and coming back after dawn tomorrow. However, in his heart, he still had another idea, which was to continue moving forward.
Because of the darkness, it was impossible for him to be discovered.
Lao Zhu is still extremely confident about this. If his strength reaches Lao Zhu's level, unless the centaurs here have saint-level powerhouses sitting in charge, otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to discover Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu is a cautious person. He would rather move forward than make the slightest noise. How could such Lao Zhu be discovered?
Both viewpoints have their own advantages, but they also have disadvantages. If you continue to move forward in the dark, it will be difficult to find traces of the centaur, and you may find nothing.
When we came here during the day the next day, although we could continue the investigation, without the cover of darkness during the day, Lao Zhu could easily expose himself and be discovered by the centaurs.
The advantages and disadvantages kept wandering in Lao Zhu's mind, and he didn't think clearly about which one he should choose.
But soon, when Lao Zhu was hesitating, someone made the choice for him.
Tap tap tap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sound of continuous footsteps was heard in the distance, and it was so obvious in the dark night.
In the dark mountains, there are only the chirping of some birds and insects. Although the chirping is very loud, the footsteps are not weak either.
Even if it was just one person, judging from the sound of his footsteps, there were quite a few people coming.
There are hundreds of people. Of course, this is just Lao Zhu's own judgment. The real situation still requires Lao Zhu to conduct further observation.
Lao Zhu cautiously began to hide inside. He tried his best not to make the slightest sound, and finally hid deep into the depths, far away from the road.
Not long after Lao Zhu left, a group of people appeared in Lao Zhu's field of vision.
Because it was dark night, Lao Zhu's vision was affected, so he couldn't see their specific appearance. However, with the help of the two crescent moons in the sky, Lao Zhu could still see their general body shapes.
The upper body is a human body, and the lower half is a horse body. The four strong and powerful thighs are extremely obvious. The large body has already told Lao Zhu their identities.
These were centaurs. After seeing them, Lao Zhu immediately judged their specific identities.
These centaurs moved very quickly. They strode along the road and began to walk inside. There was a fork in the road ahead that made Lao Zhu hesitate. They were very experienced and walked directly towards one of the roads.
Lao Zhu was behind them, carefully checking how many centaurs there were.
One, two, three. Five, ten......................
When the last centaur disappeared from Lao Zhu's field of vision, Lao Zhu had already found out that there were a total of 350 centaurs walking in front of him.
This situation makes Lao Zhu look ugly. For Lao Zhu, the current situation is very bad.
This centaur was not walking from the inside out as he imagined, but walking from the outside to the inside.
This situation made Lao Zhu have a bad association in his heart, whether the centaurs are still increasing their troops.
Such a phenomenon cannot help but make Lao Zhu think this way. This is more than 300 centaurs, how many centaurs are there among them.
Large-scale mobilization of troops. The target is too big. Even the people in Wild Boar City are shit eaters and can still be discovered. However, the Centaur tribe is different.
For example, the 300 centaurs in front of us were covered in darkness. They came directly to the mountains. It would not be easy to find them.
Lao Zhu stood up, strode into the road, and then began to follow the centaur's direction quickly.
At this time, Lao Zhu really wanted to find out what was going on in this mountain range.
How many centaurs are there, and how much force do you need to deploy to capture the centaur?
Lao Zhu followed the centaurs, which was not difficult at all, because the centaurs moved quite a bit and the sounds they made could be clearly heard by Aluozhu.
As long as he continued to follow the sound, Lao Zhu was not afraid that he would lose him.
With the centaur leading the way, Lao Zhu was not slow along the way.
He deliberately controlled the following speed to keep himself a little distance away from the centaurs and the others, so that the centaurs would not directly turn their heads and look back, and saw a figure following behind them. Lao Zhu was not stupid yet.
to this point.
With the centaur leading the way, Lao Zhu continued to move forward for more than half an hour.
The sound of footsteps that were once dense has disappeared.
This made Lao Zhu temporarily stop moving forward. He looked around and saw that where Lao Zhu was now, he had walked out of the dense forest. The current location was quite empty. Except for the rocks,
Or a rock,
There was nothing else. Lao Zhu did not dare to continue walking along the road, because it was obvious that the centaurs had reached their destination. There would definitely be centaurs in front of them who would start to be vigilant. If they followed them,
If the road goes forward, the possibility of Lao Zhu being discovered is too high.
So after looking around, Lao Zhu directly chose to take a detour.
Although it is a bit troublesome to go around, but at this time, as long as your whereabouts are not exposed, it will be fine.
Lao Zhu jumped lightly on the rock, making a crisp sound in the dark night.
Seeing this, Lao Zhu frowned. In this world of extraordinary power, the rock, which was almost ten meters high, could not hinder Lao Zhu at all. He could easily jump up, but the sound would remain, so
It would be really bad if the centaurs were alerted.
He thought for a moment, then took out two pieces of cloth from his arms, gently took off his boots, and then wrapped them around his feet so that the sound would not be crisp.
Lao Zhu did all this and started to move forward.
If Centaur didn't take a detour, it would only take one minute to walk, but Lao Zhu took a detour and walked for ten minutes.
During these ten minutes, Lao Zhu kept jumping, changing rocks one after another under him.
Looking at the place ahead where the fiery red light came out, it was a cave.
Outside the cave, there are a large number of centaurs entrenched. They are standing one by one. Behind them, with the help of the firelight, what was not clear before was now clearly seen by Lao Zhu. It was a basket. Inside
Empty.
But soon, a group of centaurs walked out of the cave, carrying pieces of ore in their hands.
Under the fiery red light of firewood, the ore appears golden.
Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment when he saw it, and then he came to his senses.
This is a gold mine. Although the gold is not very rich, there are other colors on it, but as long as it is tempered, it can be used to create gold coins. (~^~)
