One night, Chen Jiajiu was collecting all the fruits and vegetables in the farm space. Although hundreds of thousands more have been made! But his presence offended all the vegetable farmers on the street.
After all, the turnover here in one night was only one or two million, and Chen Jiajiu alone monopolized hundreds of thousands. If Chen Jiajiu competed at a normal price, there would be nothing to say about it, but it was an extremely harsh competitive price to complete the share, which would be intolerable to him.
Chen Jiajiu made money, but the place next to him was in ruins because the goods on hand could not be sold. Dozens of companies suffered direct losses.
Chen Jiajiu doesn¡¯t know anything about offending people. After working for a day, Chen Jiajiu felt very tired. He could have gone into the farm space to have a good rest. But don't forget that this is a rural area. If you don't sleep at night, you really don't know what to do. Especially Chen Jiajiu's mobile phone has long been in arrears, let alone the computer. Not to mention that he doesn't have a computer, even if he has a computer, he can't find the Internet.
When I got home, it was already five o'clock in the morning, which is also the time when people are most likely to get tired. I lay on the bed and fell asleep! In fact, what Chen Jiajiu doesn't know is that he is now like a computer. The farm system is equivalent to the software system, and the farm space is equivalent to the computer's hard drive. When entering sleep, the computer also seems to have stopped running.
In fact, it was not the case. When Chen Jiajiu lay down to sleep, the farm system brought Chen Jiajiu into another time and space, but all of this was done when Chen Jiajiu thought he was dreaming
The night sky is like blood, and a waning moon hangs powerlessly in the void. The occasional thin lava spurts between the mountain passes have already taken away the brilliance of the stars, and the strong winds are blowing by. Waves of hot air quickly spread, and at the same time there is a faint roar from the distant peaks. It is the earth that is preparing to erupt again. warning sound.
This place is called the Flame Mountain. It spans more than a thousand miles from east to west and hundreds of miles from north to south. Because there are constant fires all year round, there are no homes within a hundred miles. It is exactly the same as the rolling snow-capped mountains in the north and the vast desert in the south. It formed a natural buffer between the two great powers of the East and the West.
Thousands of years of flying fire and flowing fire have caused the extinction of birds and animals in the Flame Mountains. Vegetation is barren. But everything in the world has its own unique requirements for survival. This restricted area of ??life, known as the purgatory of ghosts and gods, also supports no less than a thousand species of animal and plant life. Among them are some treasures that are hard to find, such as fire-eating dragon clam, nine-eyed thunder spider, blazing sun flower, blood stone wolfberry and other rare and exotic objects.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????. Although there are no permanent homes under the Flame Mountain. But there is never a shortage of visitors coming and going.
Chen Jiajiu is a frequent visitor here. He can be said to be an orphan. When he was eleven years old, a big merchant came to the town. Bloodstone Qi was purchased at a price five times higher than usual, so although Chen Jiajiu's parents and several mountaineers in the town knew that the volcano was about to erupt, they still entered the mountain, but never came out in the end.
Since then, Chen Jiajiu has been dependent on her grandma, who was blinded by crying. Fortunately, although her parents passed away, they left a lot of assets, enough for their two mothers-in-law and grandchildren to live on. But from then on, Chen Jiajiu never had the chance to step into the mountains again. It was not until three years ago that Chen Jiajiu's grandmother passed away due to depression that she had the opportunity to inherit the family business.
Originally, Chen Jiajiu did not need to return to a lowly career. With the support of his family's remaining wealth, he was already a well-known traveling businessman in the northwest region due to his talent. However, Chen Jiajiu could not let go of his feelings for the Flame Mountain. As Grandpa Chen Jiajiu said before his death, the Xiao family has always been the son of the Flame Mountain. They were born here and will die here.
So he went against his grandma's wishes for the only time and walked into the mountains like his father. After a few years, because of his great courage in dealing with people and the sophisticated sophistication of some businessmen, he soon became a member of their group. leader.
This time, a big customer also came to the town, paying three times the price for the Sun Flower, which matures on the eve of the volcano¡¯s eruption. So they chose this time to enter the mountain, but they didn¡¯t know if their fate would be like their parents¡¯ generation?
After getting out of the cowhide tent that was stuck in the mountain col, he looked up at the sky, patted off the ash on the tent, unscrewed the sheepskin water bag around his waist and took a sip of strong liquor. Chen Jiajiu shouted loudly to the sleeping tents next to him. Then he started to drink: "Get up, it's dawn." He walked to the tents and kicked them a few times: "Hurry up, it seems that the God of Fire is going to show off his power again. If you can't reach the end of the field before noon, Even if you pick something, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it home. Pack it up quickly and set off immediately!"
With Chen Jiajiu¡¯s shouting and scolding, the dead valley quickly became lively. Seven or eight men climbed out of the tent quickly, moved their muscles a few times and then immediately packed up. After a while, their luggage was packed.
Walking out of the valley, I climbed up a nearby hill and took a look at the tall, thin man in his thirties.Glancing at the crater that suddenly calmed down in the distance, he worriedly said to Chen Jiajiu: "Brother Xiao, do you think the crater is about to erupt? Being too calm is not a good sign!"
Chen Jiajiu nodded and did not answer. He put up a pergola and looked at the mountain pass in the distance for a while, then said softly: "It's a bit unusual. In this situation, we can't tell when the mountain god will go crazy." He paused. , the interface said: "What do you mean? Are you going to go back, or should you wait and see?"
For Chen Jiajiu and others who are regular visitors to the Flame Mountains, the volcanic crater that vibrates, puffs, and erupts ash is not scary, because they can relatively accurately predict the time of a major eruption through the experience gained by countless ancestors who have sacrificed their lives, only to suddenly quiet down. The crater of the volcano is the most terrifying, because it is completely unpredictable, so most mountaineers lose their lives in this situation.
Among the mountaineers, a young man with thick eyebrows, big eyes and red skin said loudly after hearing the words: "Go, of course, this is a good opportunity. Now the sunflowers are blooming all over the mountain. You can dig them up at will." Duo Baduo, you will have money to marry a wife when you go back."
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of laughter, Chen Jiajiu hit the young man on the head hard: "You little bastard, your hair is not fully grown yet you already want your wife, is Cui'er's father willing to agree?"
The young man touched the back of his head and said with a proud giggle: "Of course. We agreed before entering the mountain. Her father said to me: Heizi, as long as you give me eighty-eight taels of silver as a gift, Cui'er will become a member of your family. Haha!" The mountain guests laughed again.
The youth's cheerfulness diluted the shadows in everyone's hearts. The tall and thin man from before laughed and said: "Heizi is right, the sunflowers are blooming all over the mountain. Let's dig up a few and go home to build a house and marry a wife." .¡±
"Yes! What are you afraid of? Go!" "There is no shop like this after passing through this village. I don't know when the next time will be" Someone took the lead, and everyone started to cheer.
Chen Jiajiu nodded and waved his hand. Everyone moved forward again.
He understands how these people think. Mountaineering is an extremely dangerous profession. Just because treasures of heaven and earth always grow in some dangerous places, the more precious they are, the more dangerous they are. It is to find wealth and honor in danger, just like the burning sun flower they mentioned earlier. It is a plant that grows on the inner edge of the volcanic crater and only matures and blooms on the eve of a volcanic eruption.
The group of people chatted and laughed, and finally climbed up to the nearest active volcano crater after three hours. Chen Jiajiu told everyone to take a break, take the time to eat, and replenish their strength, and then asked the tall and thin man named Lao Wang to come to the volcano with them. Observe the edge of the mouth.
Chen Jiajiu took a closer look. In the deep black crater, except for the occasional green smoke, there was no light. The two looked at each other, and they obviously felt that the other was relieved. Judging from the situation, the volcano would not go crazy in a short time.
With a greeting, he quickly tied up the rope, and Chen Jiajiu took the lead in sliding down the mountain pass. Only ten feet away, a sunflower was found in full bloom. Chen Jiajiu was not in a hurry to dig for it. He put his ear close to the slightly hot mountain wall and listened quietly for a while. After making sure that everything was normal, he started to greet everyone. Come down.
It took more than half an hour to dig up a total of thirteen Sunflowers. Chen Jiajiu wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked down at the still dark and calm abyss under his feet, and couldn't help but secretly thought: "It seems that I really caught one this time." good chance."
At this moment, the volcano suddenly trembled slightly, just like a little girl humming to her lover, and an almost inaudible sound came from the deep and invisible core of the rock.
The mountaineers couldn't help but be shocked. Those who reacted quickly grabbed the rope and climbed up. The calmer ones, such as Chen Jiajiu and the tall and thin man, immediately put their ears to the rough mountain wall to listen, but most of them had faces full of horror. He stared blankly into the dark abyss, stunned.
Fortunately, the God of Fire only snored in his deep sleep and did not really wake up. When the dullness in their ears gradually dissipated, and the rock ash around them stopped falling, all the mountaineers could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.
"so close!"
This was what they were thinking at this moment. Although it only happened in a split second, it was enough to make them vigilant. Chen Jiajiu gently asked the tall and thin man not far away: "Uncle Lin, how are you? Can you leave?" ?¡±
Uncle Lin understood what Chen Jiajiu meant, looked at the medicine bag hanging on his waist, and nodded: "Let's go, this trip is already much longer than usual. Don't be greedy, so as not to make the Fire God angry?"
"Hey¡ª¡ª!" As soon as Heizi opened his mouth, he felt a rush of air rushing up from his feet, and then there was a muffled sound like a full ugh in his ears, and the entire mountain pass began to shake again with the muffled ugh. He swallowed his words immediately as they came to his lips. Besides, I have also harvested something that I couldn¡¯t get even in two or three digs, so I really don¡¯t need to risk my life anymore.When I thought about marrying Cui'er back home, I couldn't help but feel warm.
Just when Heizi couldn't help but giggle, Chen Jiajiu gestured to him, "Heizi, come here!"
He shook his legs vigorously a few times, then kicked hard, taking advantage of the momentum to bounce a few steps on the gray rock. Heizi, who was as dexterous as an ape, came to Chen Jiajiu: "What's the matter?"
Chen Jiajiu took off the medicine bag from his waist and gave it to Heizi. He pointed to the lower right corner and said, "Do you see it? There may be blood stone berry or dragon fruit in it. You go up with everyone first and I'll go over there." have a look!"
Following Chen Jiajiu¡¯s fingers, Heizi saw a faint and eerie red light, faint, but exuding an irresistible aura.
As an experienced mountaineer, Heizi knew that it was the light coming from the volcanic caves, and that those treasures, especially the dragon fruit, grew on these figurine paths that led directly to the rock pools in the center of the earth.
Heizi was overjoyed at first. No one had dug up this kind of treasure for almost a year. Then he was a little disappointed, but it was a pity that he didn't discover it first. Although he could get a share according to the rules of the mountain, it was still not perfect. Then he was slightly frightened. and severe palpitations. Next to these rare treasures, there are always some poisons or fierce beasts guarding them. In addition, the Fire God just said hello, ifjust in case
But when his eyes fell on Chen Jiajiu's firm and focused face, with a hint of inexplicable excitement, Heizi once again swallowed back what was on his lips. As a mountaineer, he understood this feeling, so he fiercely He bit his lower lip and responded with a "Hmm!" Fasten Chen Jiajiu's medicine bag. Then he climbed up with the rope.
Chen Jiajiu twisted his left arm twice on the rope and let out a long breath. He gritted his teeth and carefully swung towards the lower right. Sliding, walking and jumping with ease and agility. We arrived at a place where red light was emitted. What comes into view is a crack in the mountain wall that has just cracked. It was probably the result of the two previous aftershocks, as the heat was spreading outwards.
Chen Jiajiu suppressed the excitement in his heart and took a few glances inward. Feeling that there was nothing wrong, he took out the sharp-nosed shovel used for picking medicine and tried to knock it. Or it may be the result of being burned by the flames for many years, and the rock wall is extremely thin. With just one click, the fist-sized limestone fell down, and with a few more vigorous blows, the rock gap was widened enough to accommodate it. One person enters.
After entering the cave and tying the hemp rope, the Chen family waved to the people waiting at the mountain pass and shouted: "Let's go, wait for me five miles down the mountain!"
"Hey!" I don't know who responded, and the mountaineers who were watching on the mountain pass immediately disappeared. Everyone knows that there is no use in staying here except possibly waiting for death.
Seeing that everyone had left, Chen Jiajiu returned to the cave again, took off the fine linen turban used to tie his hair, tied the flat-headed and thick-backed machete tightly to his hand, picked up the shovel in one hand, and walked cautiously into the cave.
Although the cave is steep and uneven, there are no sharp rocks, so it is very easy to walk. However, the temperature gets higher and higher as you go inside. However, after only a few dozen feet, Chen Jiajiu is already sweating profusely. .
However, Chen Jiajiu could no longer care about this. His attention had been attracted by a fiery red plant about ten feet away. It was about two feet sixty-seven feet tall, with a dark red body, like antlers without a single piece. It is a strange plant with a bunch of dark emerald-like fruits on the top of its leaves. Chen Jiajiu was so excited that he couldn't help shouting a few times. He recognized that the person in front of him was the Blood Stone Qi, and it was a Blood Stone Qi that was about to mature. I secretly thought that I was really lucky today. If I had another Chi Zhan tea time, all the blood berries would have crawled under the rock. I would have no choice but to dig out the roots of the thing in front of me, thus losing the opportunity.
Chen Jiajiu suppressed the excitement in his heart, quickly scanned the surrounding environment, and walked forward cautiously.
In just a few dozen steps, when Chen Jiajiu came to the bloodstone wolfberry plant, the previously dark green fruit had turned into vermilion, becoming more and more vivid, and the unique fragrance became more and more intense.
Chen Jiajiu, who was well aware of the characteristics of the blood stone berry, did not dare to neglect, and immediately took out a piece of animal skin from his arms, turned out the scissors inside, held the animal skin and moved it under the Yajiao, and cut off all the branches with fruits.
After hiding the animal skin wrapped with blood stone berries close to his body, Chen Jiajiu remembered to wipe the sweat from his forehead and at the same time relieved the tightness in his chest. He chuckled at the blood wolfberry tree that was slowly shrinking and turning black: "Don't worry, once you pick the fruit, I won't touch you again!"
Just when Chen Jiajiu was satisfied and was about to return the same way, a shrill scream came from the depths of the cave. Shocked, Chen Jiajiu immediately sped up and rushed forward. However, he couldn't run more than a few steps before he stopped again. He lowered his head and thought about it. After all, he couldn't resist the temptation of curiosity, so he turned around and walked deeper into the cave.
The further you walked in, the louder and louder the roar came from your ears.It was clear that Chen Jiajiu was certain that these screams came from the murderous king of the Flame Mountain, the Thorn-backed Salamander.
What could make these domineering monsters in the Flame Mountain so miserable?
After determining the source of the sound, Chen Jiajiu felt his hands and feet were a little sore and weak. It's not that he is timid, it's just that this kind of invulnerable monster is not something that ordinary people can resist. If he were an ordinary mountaineer, he would have turned away long ago, even if he was in a group. However, he became more and more interested. After taking a breath, he slowly continued walking inside the cave.
Following the roar of the thorn-backed salamander, I walked downhill for about two miles, and finally came to the end of the figurine tunnel. I felt waves of heat hitting my face. Fearing that my whereabouts would be exposed, Chen Jiajiu hid at the entrance of the cave. He cautiously looked around.
What you see is a large cave with a height of more than ten feet and a radius of nearly half a mile. At the entrance is a slope several feet high, with a large low-lying and uneven ash field in the middle. Dozens of them are more than ten feet long, with towering heads and horns, and a ring on their backs. Adult thorn-backed salamanders with jagged bone spurs are besieging a middle-aged scribe wearing an aqua wide-sleeved robe.
Not far from the scribe, there were more than a dozen salamander corpses lying in random directions. It seemed that humans and animals had been fighting fiercely for quite some time. On the other side of the cave, there were also a dozen young salamanders surrounding a pool. The slightly rolling lava screamed desperately.
Chen Jiujiu had seen the Thorn-backed Salamander before, but only from afar. He had never been as close as this moment. He couldn't help but feel excited and frightened at the same time. He murmured in his mouth: "It seems that this place should be This is the cave of these murderous kings, but who is that person? How can he be so capable of breaking into the lizard's cave alone?"
Just as Chen Jijiu's mind was agitated, the lava pool opposite suddenly rolled violently, and the splashing magma fell to the ground with a sizzling sound. Then there were several thunderous low roars, and a huge ferocious beast with three sharp horns on its head. The beast's head emerged from the waves, glaring at the middle-aged scribe in the cave with red flaming eyes bigger than his fist. If nothing unexpected happened, the giant creature in front of him should be the king of these thorn-backed salamanders.
