1072.The Shelter
Walk through a long and narrow valley.
We came to a small plain surrounded by mountains on three sides.
Over here.
Surrounded by mountains, there is only one mountain road that is large enough for two people to pass through, for pedestrians to pass by, which is considered an easy to defend and difficult to attack terrain. On the surrounding mountains, there are also many arrow towers and sentry posts. Anyone who enters the valley will go through a rigorous inspection. Until you confirm that the other party is not a demon, you will let the other party in.
The guards in front of the valley were already familiar with this team.
Only for Chen Han, who had just joined, felt a little embarrassed, and the sentry posts he passed along the way were checked again and again.
on this.
Qin Lan was also full of apologies. After all, Chen Han was their life-saving benefactor, and when he came to this valley, instead of getting the slightest preferential treatment, he was interrogated like this.
But......
Chen Han felt that it didn't matter.
After all.
This group of cultivators was able to survive with difficulty in this demon-surrounded Nanzhan Continent, and if they weren't careful, maybe even their bones would be devoured by the demons.
A total of thirty-six sentry posts have been experienced.
Then they came into the valley.
What Chen Han didn't expect was that there were only a few buildings in this valley, most of which were inconspicuous thatched houses. The plains in the valley are also crisscrossed by reclamation, and are divided into neat patches of fields, on which are planted with wheat and rice...... Wait for some food!
"Boy, there's something strange about the soil here. Emperor Yu reminded softly.
Hear the words.
Chen Han raised his eyebrows, lowered his body, grabbed a puddle of dirt, and rubbed it in his hand. That's right, there is a trace of heaven and earth energy in this kind of soil.
Generally speaking, this kind of soil is used to grow spiritual grass.
Because.
The spiritual grass grown in this soil will yield much higher, and the medicinal effect will be much better.
Nowadays, it is used to grow food, but it is a lot of waste!
seemed to see Chen Han's doubts.
Qin Lan on the side explained with a smile: "Because we, the cultivators, are all hidden deep underground...... You also know that there is no sunlight in the ground to grow food. After the strength reaches the realm of Wuzun, it can reach the level that Bigu does not need to eat...... But among the cultivators, there are many who have not been able to reach this level, so growing food is a must!"
I see.
Saying goes.
The people live on food.
Although the spirit grass is commendable, for these cultivators who have managed to save their lives, staying alive is the most important thing. After all, the spirit grass can improve its strength, but there is no way to make people full......
"Besides!" Qin Lan paused and continued: "This kind of soil to grow grain makes crops that originally took three months, or even half a year, only need one month at most to mature. It can also allow the cultivators in our shelter to continue to survive!"
Nodding.
Chen Han looked around.
It's just that......
Immediately, his brows couldn't help frowning.
In this entire valley, all the cultivators, I am afraid that there are no three or five hundred people combined.
Don't?
Is there only so many people in the so-called shelter?
"This is not a shelter, this is just our grain base, the real shelter is underground!" Qin Lan smiled, pointed to the ground, and said, "Chen Han, I'll take you to the shelter to have a look now, I hope you won't be shocked......"
Immediately.
Qin Lan hooked his hand and stepped forward to lead the way.
After crossing the trail and stepping on the slender and straight ridge, the two soon came to a mountain.
on the mountain.
It is natural, and the two stone gates, built against the mountain, are deeply embedded in it.
"This is the Broken Dragon Stone......" Qin Lan pointed to the two gates on the mountain, and said loudly: "This is the rock in the shelter, which the half-immortal realm powerhouse salvaged from the depths of the Endless Sea. It is said that it was once a meteorite that fell from the realm of chaos. Even if dozens of Martial Emperor's twelve-fold powerhouses bombarded at the same time, they would not be able to leave a trace on this Broken Dragon Stone! And our cultivators in Nanzhan Continent were able to survive precisely because of the protection of this Broken Dragon Stone!"
Broken Dragon Stone!
Chen Han muttered in his mouth, and at the same time, slowly stepped forward.
His right hand slowly rested on the stone door.
A crazy chill spread wildly along the Broken Dragon Stone. Chen Han could feel that there was an unimaginable power contained in this broken dragon stone...... The specific material is probably not much better than the Chaos Stone in his crystal space!
Use this broken dragon stone as a gate.
It's a bit overkill......
"Let's go, let's go down!" Qin Lan smiled faintly, bit his finger, and pointed at the stone door. Suddenly, the blood on the fingertips slowly flowed down the Broken Dragon Stone. Immediately, there was a roar like a dragon's roar from the door, and then it slowly opened, revealing a narrow staircase that led to the ground. Chen Han's eyes narrowed slightly, and the stone walls on both sides of the stairs were inlaid with moonstones that emitted a soft light, slowly dispelling the infinite darkness.
"This broken dragon stone only senses the blood of our cultivators. If the demons come here, we only need to close the gate of the Broken Dragon Stone...... Then, no matter what, they can't break the gate. And we are very safe underground—there is enough food stored in the underground to feed the people of our entire shelter for more than fifty years, so even if those demons surround this entire valley, we are not afraid!"
Listening to Qin Lan's introduction.
Chen Han couldn't help but nodded.
Present.
Walk slowly down the stairs towards the ground......
The stairs are long and steep.
As if it were located directly in the depths of the earth, the spiral staircase went straight down and hollowed out directly from the mountain. The two of them walked in front of the narrow staircase, and the dull footsteps also resounded immediately, and spread far away with the steps. The most peculiar thing is the shining steps under the feet, the steps are engraved with deep talismans, as if containing some kind of power, once the demon clan steps on this step, it will be attacked by ten thousand arrows piercing the heart!
Just like this, day and night.
Even when Chen Han was a little impatient, the steep staircase gradually calmed down.
All the way.
It actually made Chen Han walk for half a day, as if he had been going to the depths of the earth!
Walk through the last checkpoint.
At the end of the stairs, I finally left the dazzling steps.
"It's here!"
The soles of the feet fall to the ground.
Qin Lan said excitedly: "This is the shelter......
"Shelter ......"
When Chen Han heard this, he couldn't help but look towards the ground, and suddenly showed a shocked look.
