Since the establishment of Agni School, metal mineral deposits have been discovered here and provided for students to practice. However, as the years have passed, the mineral deposits have been continuously mined, digging deeper and deeper. Fortunately, this metal deposit is large enough, and it can still be used for training.
It is enough for the school to use for a hundred years, and the school has already discovered this problem. Every month, some teachers will be sent out to purchase ore to replenish the school's mineral reserves and delay consumption.
It was already afternoon when Zhao Tianji came to the mine. Looking at the mine in Nuoda, Zhao Tianji felt that he was so small compared to it. There were many mountain peaks. Although the trees had been cut down and were bare, they still could not block them.
It is thick and tall. The mine is not as flat as the fire square. Looking at the mountain peaks, Zhao Tianji stepped inside step by step.
There are many caves on the mountain, all of which have traces of artificial excavation. They must have been developed specifically for better cultivation and mining of ores. And there are signs at the entrances of the caves to indicate that the cave is occupied to prevent others from continuing.
disturb.
Zhao Tianji randomly chose a mountain peak and climbed up. There were many rocks, which made it difficult for Zhao Tianji to climb. Just when Zhao Tianji was trying to grasp the rock in front of him, the rock suddenly
When it came loose, Zhao Tianji's feet slipped due to a clever force, and he fell directly onto the slope, rolling down until he hit a big rock and stopped.
Zhao Tianji groaned and shook his dizzy head. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured, and his skin was not even scratched. Zhao Tianji looked towards the place where he fell. It looked like an ordinary hillside, but there was always something wrong with it.
Something feels wrong.
This made Zhao Tianji feel indescribably strange, and Zhao Tianji couldn't help but become more curious. He kept observing this place, walking around, and even looking at every stone here in case he missed anything.
Suddenly, Zhao Tianji discovered that this slope seemed to be a cave entrance blocked by some huge rocks. However, after years of filling, no traces were visible anymore.
If this is the case, then wouldn't it be the most secure place to practice in the future? Not only is this cave secret and not afraid of being disturbed by others, but it also seems to have been buried deep for many years. As long as you keep it secret, no one will find it.
Zhao Tianji chose a place where the stone was easier to move, and slowly moved it outward. However, even so, it took about an hour for the huge stone to be moved, and the hard work paid off. A very small hole appeared in front of Zhao Tianji.
In front of Tianji's eyes, the sound of whistling wind coming from inside made Zhao Tianji extremely excited.
After looking around, he found that no one else was around. Zhao Tianji leaned sideways with confidence and crawled in little by little. The entrance to the cave was pitch black, and because the entrance to the cave had just been opened, the whistling wind sounded like a ghost crying or a wolf howling.
Infiltrate people.
Zhao Tianji took out a fire folder from his arms and carefully walked inside with the help of the faint light. But to his disappointment, there was nothing in the cave except for metal elements that were richer than the outside world.
Not long after, Zhao Tianji walked to the end of the cave and looked at the uneven walls of the cave. There were obvious traces of being chiseled, but he probably also found that there was nothing that made him nostalgic, so he stopped going deeper.
Digged.
Although he was a little disappointed, Zhao Tianji still looked around without giving up, hoping that some miracle would happen.
Unexpectedly, everything comes to mind. Suddenly the entire cave began to shake violently, as if it was about to collapse. Pieces of gravel began to fall off the walls of the cave. A large amount of smoke filled the cave.
Zhao Tianji reacted quickly, holding the fire seal in one hand and running back in the direction of his life.
But at this moment, Zhao Tianji's feet suddenly went soft, and he stepped on something loose, causing Zhao Tianji to fall down.
With a "plop", a black figure fell into the cold and low river water. Fortunately, Zhao Tianji was naturally good at water. Although he didn't know why he was good at water, it was much better than drowning. Moreover, Zhao Tianji had always been attracted by the fire.
Hold it high to keep yourself at peace.
Zhao Tianji looked around by the weak firelight of Huozhezi. It turned out that this was an underground river with flowing water. He didn't know where it led. Zhao Tianji raised his head and looked up. The sound of falling stones could be heard from time to time in the dark passage.
It looks like I can't go up.
In desperation, Zhao Tianji slowly swam forward and circulated the power of the fire element in his body. Although the first-level fire element cannot be released outside, it can still be done to heat himself and prevent the cold air from invading the body. Zhao
Tianji swam forward little by little, but unexpectedly, a hard stone touched Zhao Tianji's shoulder, and its sharpness directly cut open Zhao Tianji's skin.
Zhao Tianji looked intently at the stone. Through the firelight, he discovered that the stone actually emitted an extremely weak golden light. Zhao Tianji curiously dug it out bit by bit and observed carefully. Although the stone was
It was covered with a layer of stone skin, but there was a missing piece that was not covered, and it was this missing corner that emitted a faint light.
Zhao Tianji felt the extremely huge aura of gold element from this stone, and he was overjoyed. Seeing its rich condition and the shimmering golden light inside, Zhao Tianji concluded that this was most likely the so-called metallicity that Ling'er introduced to him.
spar.
Moreover, this stone is as big as a human head, which is enough for Zhao Tianji to practice. Unfortunately, Zhao Tianji cannot take it away now. If he swims forward with this stone, he may not reach the source of living water.
, Zhao Tianji will be exhausted to death.
So I had to make a very obvious mark around it and continue to swim forward. The water element in the river is the most concentrated, so most people will put half of their body in the water to practice, or make a mark on the water.
platform.
By the faint firelight, Zhao Tianji discovered that there were many metallic crystals in the river, quietly displayed on the ground of the river or on the stone walls, because most of them were continuously washed away by the river water, making them look crystal clear.
It is translucent and fluorescent. I believe that if this river was known to the school people, it would be snapped up by everyone.
After swimming for about three hours, Zhao Tianji not only felt exhausted, but also the fire element in his body had been exhausted. Even other elements were exhausted due to constant replenishment of physical strength. The biting cold could not help but make Zhao Tianji's body tremble.
.But Zhao Tianji’s actions did not stop.
Fortunately, to Zhao Tianji's relief, the water flow in front began to become more rapid, and the pressure from the bottom of the water was also increasing.
It didn't take long for the surface of the water to cover the entire river. This made Zhao Tianji excited and praying to himself, hoping that there would be a way out ahead.
Gradually, Zhao Tianji felt that the pressure of the water was about to burst his lungs, and even his swimming ability almost stopped.
But vaguely, Zhao Tianji saw what looked like a hole in front of him, and his hope was ignited again. With all his strength, Zhao Tianji swam forward with all his strength.
With a "plop" sound, a person's head suddenly jumped up from the quiet lake surface, causing ripples to appear on the calm lake surface. Fortunately, the lake surface was large enough, even such a big movement could not be heard in this huge lake.
It will fade away quietly, the sun has set, the moon hangs quietly in the dark blue sky, shining quietly on the lake,
Being able to breathe fresh air again was a great enjoyment for Zhao Tianji. Looking around, he realized that this was actually the school's artificial lake. Fortunately, he didn't swim to other places, otherwise it wouldn't be long before he could get it back.
.
Zhao Tianji slowly swam towards the shore, but even so, he was discovered by Zha Bu Shui, an intermediate student practicing here at night.
Looking at Zhao Tianji struggling to swim toward the shore bit by bit in the water, Chabu Shui frowned. He found that not only was this person's swimming style ugly, but it looked like he would collapse even if he swam to the shore at such a speed.
Cha Bu Shui flew up and touched the water with his toes without getting a trace of his shoes wet, like a swan goose on the water. He quickly flew towards Zhao Tianji, which showed that his water skills were extremely good.
After more than ten breaths, Cha Bu Shui flew to Zhao Tianji's side, leaned down, and slapped a palm directly towards the water surface. His body exploded out with the force of the rebound, and he swam forward a little bit.
Zhao Tianji picked it up directly.
When the two came ashore, because the severe cold in the water had not yet completely cleared away, Zhao Tianji thanked Chabu Shui with clasped fists and said, "Thank you for your help. I don't know your name. I will visit you another day to say thank you."
Cha Bu Shui waved his sleeves, "No, I'm here to check Bu Shui. I'm just helping you out. Why did you swim here from the middle of the lake so late at night?" he asked in confusion.
Zhao Tianji pointed to the river bank in the distance without hesitation, "Brother, I'll tell you the truth. I just had an argument with my girlfriend and was slapped into the middle of the lake. I'm really sorry for causing you to suffer." Zhao Tianji swam over.
When I was swimming, I was afraid of being discovered, so I had to swim slowly to avoid making any noise, and I had to think of a good reason if I was discovered.
Chabu Shui looked in the direction of Zhao Tianji's finger. There seemed to be a figure standing there in the distance. He didn't know whether it was a tree or a person. It was difficult to confirm because it was dark and the distance was too far.
But Cha Bu Shui didn't think much about it and said with a little surprise, "Brother, your girlfriend is really strong. She can push you out so far. She also has a bad temper. She's not afraid that you won't be able to swim up."
Is there anything good or bad?”
"Haha, I'm used to it, and it was my mistake beforehand," Zhao Tianji said nonchalantly.
Chabu Shui looked at Zhao Tianji with sympathy, and secretly swore in his heart that he would definitely find a gentle and virtuous girlfriend in the future. Fortunately, it was on the surface of the lake. If it was on the edge of a cliff, he wouldn't be able to get up.
!
"Then I won't bother you anymore. I have something to do here and I'll leave first! If you have something to do, you can find me again through the students in the Intermediate Division. Of course, I don't want anything to happen to you. After all, the lake is quite cold at night." Cha.
Fusui looked at the calm lake and said again.
"Thank you! I'll comfort her too." Zhao Tianji said and turned to leave.
When Zhao Tianji returned to the dormitory, he found that none of the three of them had slept, and all of them were sitting cross-legged. Originally, the third child, Hongtao, and the fourth child, Yueze, had planned to go to bed. After all, school was about to start tomorrow, so they had to make adequate preparations.
Sleep is the best plan.
However, the boss, Li Zhengxuan, taught the two of them, "We will be tied with three women! How embarrassing it is to show up in front of so many people. This is not only a shame for men, but also a disgrace to the newly established ***
"It's also my first failure since debut." Although this was a name he came up with on the spur of the moment, Li Zhengxuan still liked it very much.
So under the supervision of the boss Li Zhengxuan, the two had to practice cross-legged again. They also knew that this was for their own good.
When Zhao Tianji walked in, even Hong Tao, who usually liked to watch the excitement, did not open his eyes, which showed how deeply he had been educated.
