Chapter 272: Needs yuan-crystal and Jiu Yuan needs them in a hurry!

They can rest for a short time. As the chief and the priest, they have a lot of things to do.

Yuan Zhan drew a map with Yan Mo's finger and drew a line on it. "From here on, there is poisonous fog you said is very heavy. If we want to get over the fog, we must take a detour on both sides. But on the left, there are snakes everywhere in Snake Valley, mountains, trees and bushes. If I didn't use soil armor to protect myself, even I will not dare to walk on the ground.

"What about the right side?"

"There are lots of boars, very fierce on the right side."

"Wild boar..." Yan Mo just wanted to say maybe we could try this way.

Just listening to Yuan Zhan say, "but I prefer to go to snake Valley rather than from these boars..." You have never fought with wild boars. I don't know. Their skins are very thick. It's difficult for our wooden spears to penetrate their thick skins. These wild boars fight together in a large group. Normal warriors below 2nd Rank can't even survive in their fight at all. Unless I get rid of them first, which I can't do alone and If I kill a lot, and then the ancestors will punish you.”

Yan Mo thought, "You're right. We have snake people. It might be more convenient to go to Snake Valley."

Yuan Zhan hit him again, "but it's a long way to go, left or right. And the more you go inside, the denser the trees are, the deeper the roots of the trees are. It takes me time to find a way out. Otherwise, so many people will surely be lost on the way."

Yan Mo rubbed his forehead. "So the best way we want to go through this dense forest is to open a road first?"

"Yes, the road should not be too narrow, otherwise it will be hidden by trees and weeds soon."

"That fog forest, you take me over to see if I can think of an antidote bag."

"You want to make nearly two thousand of them? Besides the poisonous fog, there are some strange things in the fog forest. That's why I said I wanted to make a detour.

"Did you see what it was?"

Yuan Zhan shook his head. "I can't see them clearly. They are like fog, white, floating around in the poisonous fog. Maybe the Mandrill can control them. After all, it lives in that foggy forest. The apes live in front of the pestilent forest."

"You said the Mandrill lived in a poisonous fog forest?" Yan Mo was in high spirits. Maybe he could talk to The Mandrill.

"It's not just the Mandrill, Little Wu said that the yuan-crystals are there, according to the direction he pointed out, is likely to be in the Lake Forest, or behind the fog forest."

Yan Mo would like to go with him, even if he got some yuan-crystals back first. But they can't both leave here. One person must be left to frighten Qi Hao and suppress the Mandrill. It takes time to explore the dense forest. If he takes Yuan Zhan to go from the ground to the poisonous fog forest, and it takes ten days to go back and forth.

Wu Guo can feel the existence of the treasure, but he can't tell the exact location in advance. Like a treasure-hunting compa.s.s, Wu Guo has to be taken it with him to find the exact location.

"It seems that we can only wait to send people back to Jiu Yuan, and we'll find another time to come and look for the crystal." Yan Mo hasn't given up on all kinds of good things growing around the Yufu tribe and the Earth Cliff. He plans to send people back to the Jiu Yuan, arrange work for them, and then come out with Yuan Zhan and the snake men, and collect them as he walks.

"We can't just wait here without doing anything all the time." Yuan Zhan again said, "Mo, go back. Didn't you also collect some plants? Maybe we can plant some more now.”

"It's you who have plant abilities, and how would you suppress the energy of the G.o.dblood Stone in your body when I leave without Wu Guo?" Yan Mo has to admit in his private heart that he can't and won't lose the best warrior he's trained so hard. When he leaves, Yuan Zhan can't suppress the energy in his body and he will self-explode, he has no ability to make him alive again because The Soul Return pill can only be used once.

Yuan Zhan also has headaches. He didn't want Mo to leave him at all, but if they were to stick really together and it was very inconvenient to deal with many things back in Jiu Yuan.

"We're not wasting our time here." Yan Mo stared at Yuan Zhan. "I wanted to tell you after I was sure. I've been studying bones inheritance for a while. Before you went into the forest to explore the way, I went into The Bone Inheritance again and found Zan-Bu and asked him something."

"What did he say?" Yuan Zhan remembered the name, which Yan Mo mentioned to him.

Yan Mo did not directly answer, "When transportation became our problem, I always wondered whether the Bone Sculpting People had solved the transportation problem if it had created a bone-refined civilization as good as other civilizations for such a long time in the past."

"Then?"

"Then Zan-Bu said there was a way, which was not a problem for their people. Zhan, do you remember the four bone bird standing around the skeleton of the bas.e.m.e.nt hall?”

"Of course." Yuan Zhan was slightly excited. "Is it possible for the bone bird to...?”

"Yes, they can be mounted or transport a large amount of things and people. But to maximize them and fly long distances, we need crystals, the higher ranked ones, the better. And I have to erase their original mental imprints and engrave mine before they can be used for me. It's not difficult to erase the spiritual imprint. It's easy enough to allow Wu Guo to devour the remnant mental force on the bones, but the higher order crystal... "

Yuan Zhan rose decisively: "We will have to go into the forest and leave things here to Shen-Gu and DHe. Qi Hao...Dda can watch over them. "

Yan Mo thinks for a moment, and that's the only way. Looking ahead and backward will only waste time. They have no better way.

"I'll leave the red wings and flying thorns behind again. If Qi Hao has any movement, they will paralyze him."

Before leaving, Yan Mo went to Xia Yu and his Tribesmen, who were making pottery.

"Has anyone ever told you that our houses in Jiu Yuan are built of stone bricks, that we have a special stove for cooking fire, and that in winter we can keep the house warm through the smoke pipes and fire place? Do you know what a fire place is? Do you know how the fire place warms up the house? Oh, and if you want to make the room warmer, you have to close all the doors and windows of the room, leaving only ventilation holes, so that the temperature will rise quickly when fire ignited inside. When you go to Jiu Yuan and do your best, you will have such a house to live in."

As soon as Yan Mo left, Xia Yu looked at his brother with a pale face. "I told you all, this Priest DRen knows everything. He can see at a glance what the sign is, and he says it's called porcelain. You still don't believe it! They, the Jiu Yuan, can build houses with stone bricks, and we are still using caves as firehouses for mud burners. Have you forgotten? Ding Fei, Ding Ning DRen has said that to enter Jiu Yuan, we have to face the test. I think that the test for Priest DRen is for us to make the mud burner that can burn the porcelain. Now, DRen must have found out that we were cheating on him by making fake pottery."

"What about that?" Xia Yu's Tribesmen panicked, and they were afraid of being traded as slaves again.

Xia Yu's brother was reluctant. "But it's the secret of our family. If the Jiu Yuan People knew that we could really use mud to make things, would they learn our secret and then just kill us?"

Xia Yu looked up to heaven and said, "Brother! Mo DRen said that the clay we fired was called pottery. He said that the clay we are supposed to fire was porcelains which is white like the clouds. If he didn't know how to make it, how could he recognize the white porcelain? Do you know what they are called?”

"Maybe he's just talking nonsense..." Brother Xia Yu said that his voice could not help becoming smaller, and he knew that the possibility was low.

"Jiu Yuan has cloth, and their cloth is better than the Moer-Gan's. The Moer-Gan weaving method was stolen from the Weavers Tribe. What about the Jiu Yuan? They are upstream the river, the legendary barren land! I think Mo DRen may really be the ancestors' priest. Have you seen him treat people who are sick and injured? He sewed up the human flesh with needles and thread, and cut the human body with a bone knife, but those people are now all right! He also poked needles to those people, they did not feel pain or bleed! And the medicine he made was more effective than the general witch I have ever seen. I was almost killed at that time. He used the needles several times for me and made me drink some bitter medicine. I'm all right.”

Xia Yu looked deeply at his brother, his only remaining relative. "Brother, we can leave, and if we do, where can we go? We are a few people, not enough to even hunt beasts to eat, you forget that we were almost tortured to death at the beginning? If it hadn't been for Mo DRen, we wouldn't know where we were going to be sold and we couldn't have all taken been together. Brother, I want to go to Jiu Yuan and be a real Jiu Yuan person. What about you?”

Yan Mo saw Xia Yu and his Tribesmen digging holes in the small earth hill beside their original igniter to make a mud kiln. He stopped caring about them for the time being. He also found the Mandrill who came to play and he told him not to enter the mud kiln or disturb Xia Yu and others.

"They are making water tanks and water jars. These big things are very difficult to make and they can't be disturbed at all." Yan Mo does not know why, there is always the idea that The Mandrill always comes to see the burner in order to steal the knowledge.

The Mandrill wanted to come over and see how Xia Yu and others made the kiln. Yan Mo called him, "I and Zhan want to go play where you live, is it okay?"

"No!" The Mandrill rebuffed.

Yan Mo was just trying. Animals are very protective of their own territory. Many creatures, even hate other creatures entering their own territory. The apes are one of them. They don't like human beings to enter their grounds and have very high requirements for their living environment. If there were a little more people to move to open mountains, cut trees, grow trees, and even collect medicines, apes would migrate deeper into the mountains, and the wanton exploitation of mountains and forests was the reason for the fewer and fewer animals such as his motherland apes.

Seeing the Mandrill's firm att.i.tude, Yan Mo killed of the idea of entering the fog forest through the Mandrill help.

It's just another village in which Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan were trapped in the fog forest and accidentally granted permission to enter The Mandrill's residence and found Yuan-crystal.

A few days later, when Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo entered the dense forest to look for yuan-crystal, Meng was also trying to run this way with his hair flattened because of the speed. On the way, he could not even take long rest. He often made a slight rest and rushed back immediately.

He had important news for two people. The slaves promised by Duo Fei Tribe had arrived, and with them three of them, who claimed to be the messengers of The Three Cities, those people demanded entry into the tribe.

Zheng wanted to stop them, but he couldn't. If the Mer-people hadn't appeared, the three Cities messengers would have broken through into the inner city of Jiu Yuan.

Now the three messengers and the slaves brought by the Duo Fei Tribe are all staying by the moat outside Jiu Yuan, where they built houses for the Three Cities messengers.

Zheng and the Mer-warrior guarded them together and did not let them penetrate into the southern hinterland of the Jiu Yuan, but the Young Master Jiu Feng was absent, Yuan Zhan, a 7th rank warrior was absent, and the omnipotent Priest DRen was absent. If the Mer-people had not sent two high-ranking warriors, they would have failed to stop the three messengers from exploring the entire Jiu Yuan City.

In the process, Meng was surprised by all the Jiu Yuan peoples, too. The Dwarfs formed a team to help the Jiu Yuan fight against the Three Cities messengers, and told them that they were not allowed to enter the Jiu Yuan.

Meng thought that the dwarfs were not dull either. Looking at the birds with the nostrils from the three Cities messengers, whose nose were bigger than the Young Master Jiu Feng, they probably knew how bad it would be if the Three Cities took control of the Jiu Yuan.

Looking only at the messengers' greedy eyes at the dwarfs and the Mer-people, they can see how miserable the dwarfs and the Mer-people would be if the three messengers invaded the Jiu Yuan. The Mer-people are okay, their warriors are strong, there are many high-ranking warriors, but like the dwarfs they don't have any 5th rank warrior... Ten percent of them will be caught as treasures of the slave trade, and the peaceful life they hoped for will disappear.

Now, not only the Jiu Yuan People want Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo back, but also the Mer-people and the dwarves!

Somewhere beneath the poisonous fog forest.

Yan Mo, who covered his mouth and nose with a cloth towel, had the horror of being suffocated. Just now they had to pop atop the ground. He wanted to get some miasma for testing. As a result, he almost fainted in the miasma.

If Yuan Zhan hadn't been prepared, he would have experienced a painful process of "never dying but always dying" as soon as Yuan Zhan watched his body shake and quickly pulled him back to the ground.

The air beneath the ground is not very fresh, but at least it's better than that in the poisonous fog forest. Yuan Zhan is smart enough to leave the vents outside the poisonous fog forest to bring air in the tunnel.

Yan Mo was asking The Fruit of Witchcraft, "Must I go up? Can't we go under the ground?'

Little Wu answered only two words: "Up-above."

"You mean we're already there, Yuan-crystal is on top?"

"Yeah."

"Wait a minute. Isn't yuan-crystal the same thing as ground ore? Shouldn't they be buried deep in the ground?"

"I don't know. I feel it right up there." Little Wu was a little impatient.

Yan Mo pointed to his finger and said to Yuan Zhan, "You still have to go up. Your eldest son said it's on top."

Yuan Zhan was enjoying himself bitterly. "So can you go out? Last time I almost got caught up. The poisonous fog here is too poisonous.” If he hadn't dared to breathe, he would have sunk into the ground as soon as he knew things were wrong, and he might have been left in the poisonous fog forest the last time.

"I need time to a.n.a.lyses the composition of the poison fog and then try to make an antidote." Thanks him for having an artifact lab and experimental machines that transcend the savage times. Without them, he would not be able to easily synthesize drugs that would never have appeared in this era, such as sterilizers previously used to intimidate the Mer-people.

Why do we all like machines, is it not just because they can greatly reduce all kinds of tedious processes and simplify the original complex experiments as much as possible?

Although there are too many Sc.u.m VALUES needed to be added every time a laboratory is opened, he prefers to add Sc.u.m VALUE to start empty-handed from scratch.

Yuan Zhan is used to Yan Mo disappearing from time to time. When he drops a word, he disappears without lifting his eyelids.

Half a day later, Yan Mo came out of the lab and handed Yuan Zhan a weird-looking mask.

The mask was sewn with cotton cloth, and the workmanship was simple. The mask was especially prominent in the mouth and nose. Yuan Zhan pinched it and found something inside.

Yan Mo explained: "It's a filter and detoxification layer. Don't pull it apart. Time is too short and there are not enough medicines. The mask doesn't work very well. If you smell it and you feel it's becoming pungent later, you must tell me."

They put on their masks and went from the ground to the ground again.

It's like a heavy fog outside. It's foggy everywhere. It's quite wet.

Yuan Zhan suddenly grabbed Yan Mo's hand. "It looks like a cave here." Just now they stayed on it for too short a time, and he had time to explore the surroundings.
