Chapter 1037 Mine-seeking journey
Seeing the other party's expression solemn, Guan Heng immediately said, "If there is anything, just say it."
"My clan uncle has always been working hard and doing fine work. Your bow and sword copper box will definitely not be able to complete it within a day and a half night." Xu Bai touched his chin and smiled: "Since that's the case, you and everyone have to stay here in Songguo Mountain for a while. Since that's the case, you might as well do me a favor."
"Help? Yes, I'm still idle anyway." Guan Heng said: "Brother Agou and Tianlin had discussed strolling around the village before, and I had nothing else to do."
"That's good. I'll come to see you tomorrow and I'll talk about what to do at that time."
Xu Bai's mouth was raised, and a smile flashed across his face. When he turned around and left, he specifically reminded him: "Oh, yes, besides you, it's better to bring both the elephant snake bird, the sharp-billed mountain croaker and the ghost-swalking tiger, which may be useful."
"It's mysterious, I don't want to tell me the truth now." Guan Heng curled his lips and then replied loudly: "I understand."
...
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was dawn the next day. The dawn had just begun to appear. The sunlight had just fallen on Guan Heng's forehead. Xu Bai was knocking outside: "Hey, Guan Heng, wake up quickly, get up quickly."
When Guan Heng reached out and pulled open the door, he said impatiently: "Hey, Boss Xu, can't you come back later?"
"I can't do anything about it. The mother-of-bone worms are the most energetic in the morning. After the morning hour, they are listless and unwilling to move." Xu Bai said anxiously at this time: "Hurry up, wash your face and ask your beast to go with me."
"What do you mean by me?!" Guan Heng splashed his face with cold water, and said angrily: "Why do I think this is a swearing?"
"Aowu--" As soon as he finished speaking, the Hound Guihu, who was lying in the corner of the room, roared and glanced at Xu Bai with displeasure.
"Okay, can't I just say the wrong thing?" Xu Bai said, shaking the bamboo basket in his hand: "There are a lot of food here, all for you. Let's eat while walking. Brothers from the Bi family are still waiting for us."
"Um... it tastes good." Guan Heng stretched out his hand and grabbed a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. At this moment, the snake-like bird's wings fell on his shoulders. The sharp-billed mountain croaker and the giant tiger also came over. Guan Heng shouted hurriedly: "Go and go, it will be your turn when I'm full, the mountain croaker!! Don't eat it secretly!"
Xu Bai was dumbfounded from the side, and he muttered: "Oh, it seems that he is still less prepared."
...
A moment later, Guan Heng and Xu Bai met the Bi family brothers at the entrance of the village. He asked, "Hey, now you can tell me what's going on with me?"
"Oh, that's it." Binango said: "Xiaobei and I, one of us, caught the copper mother worm, and the other got the boxwood foliage. Xu Bai said that before you left the Weishui tribe, we would work together to find new copper ore veins for our tribe. Do you have no objection?"
"Looking for mineral veins? I'm a little bit." Guan Heng agreed without hesitation: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Let's go to the northern foot of Songguo Mountain first, let's tell you on the road." Xu Bai said as he waved his hand, and everyone immediately walked out of the village.
It turns out that in the vast Songguo Mountain, the Weishui tribes mined a lot of copper ore in the past few hundred years, but they are all concentrated near the main peaks of the eastern and western foothills. In the past decade, these two areas that are rich in copper ore have almost dried up.
However, there are not copper mines in the rest of Songguo Mountain, but the main veins are below the ground more than ten feet, so it is difficult to be discovered, let alone excavation and mining.
At this time, the "copper mother worm" can come in handy. This kind of demon insect has a very special temper. As long as they eat boxwood leaves, they will dig holes and dig in place, thereby creating a tunnel and going to sleep near the underground mine veins. In this way, they can lead the miners to find the mine veins.
"That's how it is, but we have only seen the way the copper mother worms find mineral veins in the teachings of our ancestors." Xu Bai said at this time: "No one has actually experienced such a thing, and he is unsure, so he wants to find a few more helpers."
"Yes, the ground of Pinecone Mountain is full of demon insects, and there are many tricky guys in the deep red and semi-black realm. While looking for mineral veins, we will definitely feel difficult to deal with." Binango smiled slightly: "So there are a few helpers who can fight around, but it is very important."
Bi Beiqi also whispered beside him: "I originally wanted to ask Brother A Gou for help, but he is always stern and serious. We look a little furious, so we have to settle for the second best and decide to find you."
"Bah!" Guan Heng spat hard on the ground at this time: "Take me as a 'backup thug'? All you three brothers have the nerve to say this?!"
"Brother, Brother Guan!"
Xu Bai quickly walked over and patted his shoulder: "Don't pay attention to the two idiots in the Bi family. They are used to being unrestrained and are not good things. Hehehe, I have never thought so. In my Xu Bai's opinion, although Ah Gou can fight, you have more potential. My brother can trust you, you are the strongest!"
"Well, this is almost the same. Although you can smell a lie from a distance between eight feet, you can't resist my love to listen."
Guan Heng hugged his shoulder and snorted: "You three brothers are fine. It's okay to ask me to help be a bodyguard, but you must respect me and try to flatter me. What's so great about Brother Dog? I will definitely be better than him in the future."
Seeing Xu Bai glaring at his brothers fiercely, the Bi brothers had to speak perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, you're right."
"Aowu--"
"Guaga!"
"Jijiji--" The beasts and beasts accompanying each other were all roaring and neighing in unison. Guan Heng touched his chin proudly: "Haha, then I will be careless, I believe you with great mercy."
Xu Bai and the Bi family sighed in their hearts as they looked at each other's appearance: "Oh... how confident does this require to make a half-red strong man brag about himself and the black-air domineering person as powerful?"
After a while, "I arrived. This is the northern foot of Songguo Mountain, which is nearly ten miles away from our village." Binango pointed to a small mountain not far ahead and said, "It is the main peak of the northern foot, but it has been seven or eight years, and our tribe members will not get close to here."
When Guan Heng heard this, he asked with some confusion: "Why?"
"Haha." Xu Bai next to him smiled bitterly, and then said, "That's because..."
