Chapter 124: Extreme Talent (asking for guaranteed monthly ticket)
Zhengzhengzheng~
In the huge forge, the sound of weapons hitting each other could be heard continuously, and the sound of various iron tools vibrating became one, and the forging tables were shaking constantly.
The flames in the furnace burst out several feet high.
Even the six chimneys that penetrated the ground and reached the 100-meter-high ground floor were shaking violently.
"The earth is shaking? The earth is shaking!"
"Run, run!"
"Elder, elder, run quickly, the ground is shaking, the fire veins are vibrating, the fire veins..."
……
The huge cave was in chaos. All the blacksmiths looked pale and panic-stricken. Many of them had already fled with their hammers.
Being a hundred meters underground and close to a fire vein, if there were an earthquake or landslide, not to mention them, even an iron man would die.
"Everyone, don't move!"
Lei Jingchuan came quickly and shouted like a tiger: "Evacuate in an orderly manner!"
While scolding, he raised his sleeves and released his internal energy, knocking to the ground the blacksmiths who were trying to seize the tunnel and blocking the area.
Jing Shuhu arrived earlier than him, but at this moment he was in a daze, looking at the vibrating iron tools and was in great shock.
"The hundred weapons are shaking, the earth and fire are shaking, the hundred weapons are shaking, the earth and fire are shaking..."
When Lei Jingchuan stepped forward, he heard Jing Shuhu's muttering, and his heart was shocked:
"No wonder, no wonder..."
Jing Shuhu's murmur reminded him of an ancient story, a secret story recorded in the ancestors' daily records.
One thousand four hundred years ago, the ancestor 'Feng Yun' who assisted the Great Ancestor Pang Wenlong in establishing his rule over the world, traveled around the world after the world was settled.
One day, when passing through the Shenbing Mountains, he was shocked to see the earth shaking and the eruption of underground fire. He then decided to give his fief to Zhelong instead of the original "Ziyunzhou".
Giving up a state for a prefecture caused a sensation in the world at that time, and even attracted the attention of many people. But over time, it gradually became unknown.
Although this scene was much quieter, it was very similar to what was recorded in the ancestors' diary...
"Senior brother?"
Jing Shuhu's eyes were frighteningly bright. He grabbed Lei Jingchuan's arm, squeezing it so hard that it hurt:
"This is the earthquake that has affected the fire veins!"
"what?"
Lei Jingchuan was startled at first, then nodded heavily:
"Yes, it's the vibration of the earth veins that involves the underground fire!"
The two men only exchanged a few words in a low voice before the blacksmiths in the forge were already fleeing madly towards the tunnel.
Shi Hong and Qiu Changying were a step slower. Looking at the forging field that was constantly vibrating and humming, they were both shocked for a moment.
"Let's go, Earthfire Riot!"
Lei Jingchuan strode over, not giving the two men time to react, and rushed to the ground quickly.
"Earthfire riot?"
Shi Hong raised his hand to break the rocks falling from above his head and followed Lei Jingchuan. If the hundred-meter-high stratum really collapsed, he would die.
"wrong……"
Qiu Changying frowned slightly. Although she felt the ground shaking, it was more like the shaking of the six pure steel chimneys.
But she didn't think much about it, turned around and rushed to the ground.
……
In the Chirong Cave, hundreds of forging hammers were vibrating and making buzzing sounds.
Li Yuan seemed unaware, staring intently at the dark light that emerged from the mountain wall and shot straight into the sky.
【Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer (Level 11)】
【? ? ? 】
The light was still only a flash, but he was almost certain of it.
"This Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer is right under the cold pond, in the vein of fire!"
Li Yuan subconsciously chased for a few steps, but was forced back by the increasingly hot temperature.
The Chirong Cave is only three hundred meters away from the entrance of the fire vein, but this distance of three hundred meters is impossible to cross even for someone as strong as Lei Jingchuan or Jing Shuhu.
After all, the flesh and blood body cannot withstand such high temperatures.
"In the fire vein, in the fire vein..."
Li Yuan's heart was beating fast. The feeling of seeing the treasure in front of him but being unable to get close to it made him feel so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood.
He wanted to swallow all the internal organs pills in one go and try to rush in...
"Calm down, calm down. Even if I reach the entrance, I won't be able to get the Black Whale Hammer if it's deep in the magma."
Li Yuan gritted his teeth and was unwilling to move his eyes for a long time.
It was not until he heard a faint sound of breaking wind behind him that he suddenly came back to his senses.
call!
Jing Shuhu glanced around and saw that the Chirong Cave was in a mess. Hundreds of forging hammers were scattered all over the ground, and the forging table made of blazing iron was all red.
"Great Elder?"
Li Yuan felt a little nervous.
At this time, Jing Shuhu was no longer as lazy as before. His whole aura changed drastically. He strode forward like an eagle swooping down or a tiger descending from the mountain.
His body moves as fast as lightning between ups and downs, which shows that his lightness skills are excellent.
"Li Yuan!"
Jing Shuhu paused for a moment, and scanned the area with his tiger eyes: "You are here, have you noticed any unusual changes?"
Li Yuan was slightly startled, then shook his head:
"It's just that the forging table suddenly started shaking..."
"Why don't you run?"
Li Yuan smiled bitterly: "Replying to the Great Elder, before the earthquake, I was working on ironwork, and my physical strength was greatly depleted. I really can't run anymore..."
The underground tremors had long since subsided.
"Ok!"
Jing Shuhu looked like he was worried. He just asked casually and then strode towards the fire vein.
hum!
His feet sank slightly and a buzzing sound came from his body.
The next moment, Li Yuan heard the sound of his joints rubbing against each other and his muscles tensing, and saw an incredible scene.
The great elder of the Weapon Casting Valley, who was much older than Han Chuijun, suddenly seemed to have become dozens of years younger!
Although her hair was still white, her originally slightly shriveled body suddenly seemed fuller, and her hands, which were originally as thin as tree bark, also became white, tender and smooth, just like a girl!
"Is this okay?!"
Li Yuan stared in astonishment: "What kind of martial arts is this?"
"Hidden Life Skill!"
Jing Shuhu made a sound like a tiger's roar, his internal energy bursting out, and he walked towards the fire vein under the increasingly hot temperature.
"The meridians are fully developed!"
Even though he was dozens of meters away, Li Yuan seemed to feel the wind blowing. He exerted force one foot high and his energy spread three meters.
At this moment, Jing Shuhu was like wearing an invisible barrier to reduce the damage of high temperature to himself.
Chi chi chi~
Li Yuan heard the sound of internal energy breaking through the air. Jing Shuhu's whole body turned red. He walked with difficulty, but he walked in.
"I really want to go in and take a look..."
Li Yuan felt jealous but didn't dare to get close. The temperature was too high. He felt like he was about to melt after taking a few steps.
"If you want to get close to the fire vein, you must at least open up the vein, or even open up the vein to great perfection! Old Han doesn't know if it's possible, but I don't think it's possible..."
Li Yuan muttered to himself.
Even though Han Chuijun has the ability to fight against opponents of higher levels, he cannot do what Jing Shuhu did, where his internal energy runs through his entire body like a barrier.
This is the difference in realm.
"Strengthen your body, change your form, open up your meridians... Your bones are important, and your realm cannot be relaxed!"
Li Yuan felt a great sense of urgency in his heart.
From Jing Shuhu's change, it was clear that he knew that the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer was in the fire vein. Perhaps, the inner sect elders such as Gong Yangyu also knew it.
even……
"call!"
Silently taking a pill to protect the internal organs, Li Yuan forced himself to pick up the hammer and forge iron. Only by listening to the sound did the throbbing in his heart calm down.
"puff!"
After a long time, Li Yuan heard the sound of someone coughing up blood, and he put down the forging hammer.
Jing Shuhu, with a pale face and looking very old, coughed up a mouthful of dirty blood, which evaporated into blood mist before it hit the ground.
This is obviously damage to the internal organs.
"Great Elder, are you injured?"
Li Yuan put down the hammer, slightly shocked. Even with the protection of his internal energy, all the clothes on Jing Shuhu's body were burned. At this moment, his whole body was red, and he could even smell the faint smell of barbecue, which made him feel nauseous.
"Ah."
Jing Shuhu took the clothes handed to him by Li Yuan and tied them around his waist. His voice was hoarse, as if his throat was also burned.
As he walked in, Li Yuan felt an astonishing wave of heat.
"go!"
Jing Shuhu said in a low voice.
"what?"
Li Yuan's heart tightened slightly.
"The fire veins are moving strangely. We can no longer stay in this Chirong Cave. You..."
Jing Shuhu had a blank expression on his face. He glanced at the scorching iron that had been tempered under the forging table.
"Come back in ten days and ask Lao Lei to teach you the art of forging weapons!"
"...Thank you, Great Elder!"
Li Yuan bowed and followed Jing Shuhu out of the cave.
The temperature inside the forging field was also very high, but after coming out of the Chirong Cave, Li Yuan felt quite cool and his whole spirits improved.
Jing Shuhu was worried and said nothing after coming out.
Li Yuan wanted to ask about the purchase of those forging hammers, but when he saw that he didn't ask, he shut up and prepared to leave.
"stop!"
Jing Shuhu stopped him and said, "What happened today cannot be spread to others!"
"Disciple understands!"
Li Yuan nodded and was about to leave when he was called back.
"You can't let anyone know that I borrowed your clothes!"
"...Disciple understands."
Thinking of that shriveled body, Li Yuan shuddered, quickly agreed, and turned to leave.
……
……
An hour later, in Chirong Cave.
"call!"
Gong Yangyu let out a long breath, only to feel a sharp pain in his internal organs. After regulating his breath for a long time, he looked at Jing Shuhu, who was full of concern:
"I walked more than eighty feet. The temperature at the turning point of the tunnel was too high for a human to bear..."
Jing Shuhu sighed slightly:
"I don't know how the master built this tunnel. The younger generation is so incompetent that they can't even reach the end of the tunnel."
"Ancestor..."
Gong Yangyu was silent for a moment before he said, "Although this unusual movement is similar to what was recorded in the ancestors' daily records, it may not be related to the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer."
"What if?"
Jing Shuhu frowned.
"Nothing unexpected."
Gong Yangyu's face was as gloomy as water, and he could not resist:
"This cave is sealed, no one is allowed to enter or leave. What happened today was just a change in the fire veins, and it has nothing to do with the Black Whale Hammer!"
After a slight pause, his eyes became sharper:
"Don't tell Han Chuijun!"
"Yes!"
Jing Shuhu sighed inwardly but did not refute.
He knew Gong Yangyu's concerns.
The Mysterious Soldiers of Heaven's Luck are things that only appear in legends. Whenever any clues appear, they will inevitably attract countless people to fight for them.
The Divine Weapon Valley is no longer what it was 1,400 years ago, and may not be able to withstand it.
Seeing that he agreed, Gong Yangyu's expression relaxed. He was well aware of the obsession of the Weapon Casting Valley and the Hammer Weapon Hall with the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer.
In fact, even he was interested.
But he knew very well that if the ancestors of all generations had been searching for something for thousands of years and had not been able to find it, then he would have no chance of finding it either.
Even if I really find it, I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse…
"In addition, I will have to trouble you to get the Five-Colored Lingxu Sword. Shi Hong has extraordinary comprehension and will be able to take over my position in ten years at most."
"Ah."
Jing Shuhu seemed to have had all his energy drained away at once. He responded weakly and turned back to Hantan Cave.
Lei Jingchuan was not very reassured about him and followed him quickly.
"There is not a single useless word in the master's diary. The records he deliberately left behind could not have been just an accident!"
In the Cold Pond Cave, Jing Shuhu sat cross-legged, his eyes fixed on the cold pond water in the deep pit:
"The Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer must exist!"
You said before that it couldn't exist...
Lei Jingchuan complained in his heart, but he also agreed with him: "Even if the Black Whale Hammer is really in the underground fire, we can't even get close to it..."
"There's always a way."
Jing Shuhu closed his eyes, his chest rising and falling: "Wait a few days, when Li Yuan comes, you can teach him the art of forging weapons!"
"He still needs to help Ba Wanli repair the hammer. Maybe he will come tomorrow."
Lei Jingchuan was not surprised by his change of attitude.
For more than a thousand years, there is something that the successive masters of the Weapon Casting Valley have failed to find. As long as there is a slight possibility, they will never give up.
"Do you want to send a letter to Han Chuijun by carrier pigeon?"
"Ok?"
Jing Shuhu opened his eyes and frowned, "Forget it. I heard that there are many evil god cult masters in Pinggou County. Without him, the others may not be able to cope with it."
Lei Jingchuan nodded.
Few people in the Divine Weapon Valley like Han Chuijun, but they have to admit that many things cannot be done without him.
"According to the speculations of the ancestors of all generations, the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer may have spiritual powers..."
Jing Shuhu muttered to himself for a few words, and suddenly thought of Li Yuan. That boy had a great talent for hammering:
"Well...when he comes, I will personally teach him the art of forging weapons!"
……
……
"Gone again!"
Outside the Weapon Casting Valley, Li Yuan looked back at the six large chimneys, with some vague guesses in his mind.
The Black Whale Sea-Splitting Hammer was very likely to have spiritual power. He had seen this mysterious light twice and guessed it was related to the change in his own talent for hammering.
"When I first came here, I was in control of four heavy weapons and had a talent for hammering. Now, my talent has undergone a qualitative change..."
The night breeze blew gently, and Li Yuan felt quite cool. With the alternation of cold and heat, he felt that his Seven Star Horizontal Training had made further progress.
If he could stay in the Chirong Cave for a long time, he might be able to achieve great success or even perfection in his practice soon.
"Hammer talent is the only way to find the Black Whale Hammer!"
At this moment, Li Yuan was a little dazed.
“No wonder Old Han is recruiting disciples with a talent for hammer techniques all over the world. This is not to inherit his legacy, but to find the Black Whale Sea-Splitting Hammer!”
Li Yuan was already determined at this moment.
To find this hammer, one needs an extremely high talent for hammering, but he has no idea how high that talent is at this point.
"Perhaps, the Divine Weapon Valley has long known about the existence of the Black Whale Sea-Splitting Hammer, but ordinary disciples don't know?"
As his mind wandered, Li Yuan couldn't help but think of the hammer.
The highest weapon he had ever wielded was only a third-grade top-grade sharp blade, and the eleventh-grade was beyond his imagination.
"Stacking talents!"
In the night wind, Li Yuan gritted his teeth secretly.
He decided to put collecting the sacred fire on the agenda later.
There were numerous first- and second-level forging hammers in the Weapon Casting Valley. As long as he had enough divine fire, he might be able to forge a fifth-level forging hammer.
He wanted to try and see if the fifth-level hammer talent would bring about greater changes.
"Look at the bright side... Well, maybe my talent is high enough, and this Black Whale Sea-Splitting Hammer will appear on its own?"
Thinking of this, Li Yuan's steps became lighter.
