If the Gangyan species are barely within the range that the pioneers can conquer, the Ghost rock species has gone far beyond the limits of civilian armed forces, reaching a point where it would take all the strength of the country to contend with it. Li Yanggong, who is famous for his martial arts,
He led the powerful military force battalion, which was well-known in all countries, and fought day and night using the Jianguan Fortress as a shield, and finally managed to suppress the ghost rock species in the southwest corner of Liyang, preventing the disaster from spreading to the entire territory of Liyang.
The people of Liyang have heard about the various violent deeds of the Ghost Rock species destroying cities and villages almost from their mother's womb, and their fear and hatred can be said to be engraved in their bones.
However, according to common sense, the ghost rock species emerge from the secret realm of the mountains in the southwest corner of Liyang, and are blocked in front of the Jianguan Fortress by Li Yanggong. The Kinoji is located in the west-north of Liyang Territory, away from the Jianguan Fortress and the southwest mountain range.
Quite far away, it is unbelievable that a ghost rock species would appear here.
"Has the Jianguan Fortress been breached?"
The villain's question made everyone shiver involuntarily.
"Impossible! If it were true, Li Yang would have been in chaos long ago!"
"Hmph, then you should tell me why this guy is in the cave?"
"Jianguan Fortress should be fine."
A sudden sound interrupted the pioneers' argument. Everyone turned around in surprise, only to see Gu Chen squatting next to Gui Yanzhong, carefully observing the settlement of the rock surface under his feet.
"If I remember correctly, the Jianguan Fortress was only established more than sixty years ago by the former Duke Li Yang." Thanks to the fact that the female secretary taught the entire history of Li Yang Duke to newcomers when she was a tutor, Gu Chen recalled as he
Weaving thoughts. "The establishment of Jianguan Fortress
In the past, the ghost rock species used to be tyrannical in Liyang Territory and caused disasters everywhere. The previous generations of Duke Li Yang built fortresses to prevent the ghost rock species from invading eastward. Subsequently, several generations of Li Yang Dukes devoted themselves to conquering the remaining ghost rock species in the territory, which allowed their disasters to continue.
Things gradually calmed down outside the fortress."
"In other words, this ghost rock species was here before the fortress was established?" Soldier Guo Bei keenly captured the meaning of Gu Chen's words.
"Yes. Before the fortress was established, the Liyang Army also frequently fought against the ghost rock species. Records of one or two of them being severely damaged and then disappearing can also be found." Gu Chen nodded and pointed to the weathered rock plate on the ghost rock species. "From
Judging from the signs, this ghost rock species has probably been sleeping for more than a hundred years, so it probably did not come from Sword Pass."
"That's it." Guo Bei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and turned around to glare at the spearman Shazu. "Did you hear what Mr. Gu said? This is a truly knowledgeable person. Don't just open your mouth and talk nonsense, I was almost killed by you.
Scared to death."
"I, I just said it's possible, it's possible! Aren't you so scared that your face turned pale?"
The armored soldier and the spear user quarreled with each other, attracting the disdainful gaze of the female flame envoy next to them. The red fish looked at Gu Chen with piercing eyes, and an expression of unspeakable joy appeared on his face. Gu Chen pretended not to notice the girl's burning gaze.
, coughed and looked up around the cave.
"In addition, I think the reason for the accumulation of spirit in the cave is probably also caused by this ghost rock species."
Gu Chen asserted this.
Driven by the six-winged rainbow ship, the spirits riding on the yellow star rush back and forth on the planet along a trajectory similar to magnetic lines. Using a river as an analogy, when a reef appears, the water flow will slow down or even stagnate. The ghost rock species is
The chaos energy in the upper species of stone monsters is enough to disrupt local spiritual surges and create a siltation area similar to Chaos Ruins in the cave.
As for the small stone ghosts and rigid rock species that everyone encountered before, they were probably also stone monsters born from the spiritual silt of the cave. However, their rank was naturally lower than that of the ghost rock species, so they naturally played a role similar to that of a guard.
"As expected of Mr. Gu! After you said this, everything is explained!"
Soldier Guo Bei nodded happily and looked up at the ghost rock species ahead. Gu Chen wanted to investigate the secrets of the cave and hired them as guards. Now that the secrets of the cave have been revealed, what to do next is the question.
"Young Master Gu, what should we do next? Now that we have discovered this guy, we can't just leave it alone, right?"
"Well, this is..."
Gu Chen couldn't help but look embarrassed when he was asked.
It is true that the ghost rock species is the hidden reef that causes the spiritual silt. Theoretically speaking, as long as the ghost rock species is destroyed, the spiritual surge will naturally return to normal. This is probably similar to the feeling that the Chaos Ruins Palace fell apart after the Armored Giant was dealt with.
However, unlike the Hunhou Palace in the uninhabited wilderness, at this moment, there is Kinoji's cottage above the cave. It is impossible to predict what the consequences of destroying the ghost rock species will be. Besides, the size and hardness of the ghost rock species are there. For a while, Gu Chen
I really can't think of any way to ensure its destruction.
Looking at the master who was frowning and thinking hard, the female flamer next to him eagerly suggested something.
"How about I try it with the Flame Crow?"
"Forget it, at least it's better not to act rashly until the people in the colony leave."
Gu Chen shook his head. Now the truth about the siltation of the spirit surge in the cave was solved, but for some reason, Gu Chen always felt as if there was something unexplored in his trance. To ensure that he did not overlook any details, Gu Chen turned to
Walk around the dormant ghost rock species several times, and at the same time activate Wind Touch to scan the surroundings.
"...Huh?"
The all-pervasive wind can go to places where the gaze cannot reach, and can also dig out the true appearance that cannot be hidden by the darkness. Gu Chen's perception extends to the weathered and cracked rock plate on the ghost rock species as the wind touches it, and he discovers a strange thing in the middle of the rock plate.
Artifacts——
The reason why it is definitely a man-made object is because its shape is too square. The object is about the size of a backpack and has a square shape. The material looks like wood, but the surface has a thick layer of anti-corrosion and moisture-proof paint. The object
It is located right below Oniwa, so no matter how you look at it, it is difficult to describe it as a coincidence.
(Someone put it there? Why?)
If the monsters are dormant, it is just a natural disaster, but if man-made objects are involved, the complexity will increase exponentially.
Gu Chen bent over and observed the rock plate, feeling that it seemed impossible to take it out from under the belly of the ghost rock species, and it was impossible to determine what the artificial object was by just relying on wind contact. If there were no clues, he could not even guess the opponent's motives.
arrive.
Gu Chen scratched his cheek. Compared with the weathered rock plate, the man-made object was quite well preserved, so it was certain that it had not been left for too long. Gu Chen speculated that the other party should have discovered the ghost rock species sleeping in the cave first.
, and then make arrangements to place the objects. In this case, there might be other clues left around.
Gu Chen raised his head and looked around the cave.
Although Yandie provided lighting, the vision was still quite poor in the darkness. Fortunately, the cave itself was limited in area, so Gu Chen activated Wind Touch again. Waves of breeze containing spiritual surges appeared in the cave, spreading out to the surroundings like ripples, and were blown away by the wind.
The fluttering butterflies swayed in the air.
The red fish over there showed a surprised expression, but Gu Chen suddenly raised his head and looked at the zenith diagonally above.
"What's wrong? Gu Chen."
"Well, can you let Yandie fly there and have a look?"
