Lord, he is not a man [infrastructure]

"You can't underestimate women." Gu Ding sighed like a young adult.

Tang Bo took it seriously, and said seriously: "Women are very powerful."

None of his female colleagues in his previous life was easy to mess with.

Tang Bo learned something from his female colleagues - if you think a woman is stupid and easy to deceive, it doesn't necessarily mean that she is really stupid and naive, maybe it's just that the other party wants you to see her that way, after all, men like this set.

Smart women are like water, they never let men see their enormous strength that can set off tsunamis, drown people easily, and hit dams, they only let men see their "tenderness like water" and A side of various "delicious drinks" with added flavorings.

"The abilities of the brothers and sisters on the mountain are unknown. Judging from your description, they seem to have the ability to create illusions, but they don't know which of the Devil Mountain we saw is the true face of the Devil Mountain." Gu Ding said.

"Not just the brother and sister, but also the monster that the golden ax turned into. That would be a big trouble. I plan to go into the mountain again. It would be best if we can get rid of each other. If we want to mine salt here, the monster It must be resolved." Tang Bo said.

Gu Ding thought that the monster had already been dealt with, and I had absorbed all the demon seeds, so he was completely dead, but he couldn't say it directly, so he could only say: "Yunmei probably killed that monster."

"Oh?"

"I think the key point is to find the salt mine first, and then we will consider how to solve the problem of Devil's Mountain after we find the salt mine."

Tang Bo praised: "That's right, I haven't taught you in vain during this time, you can think."

Gu Ding rolled his eyes.

That night, while Tang Bo was fast asleep, the bell suddenly rang loudly in the camp.

Everyone was awakened.

The child hid in the carriage and did not come out. Bai Dou, Yan Ren and Piglet came out with weapons in hand to check the situation.

Gu Ding stared at the darkness, motionless.

Tang Bo poked his head out and asked about the situation.

Bai Dou and Yan Ren patrolled around and told Tang Bo that the intruder was not found, and the other party was likely to be startled away by the alarm.

Several people fell asleep again, but this time the sleep was not very deep, and they were always alert to the movement outside.

In the early morning, Tang Bo got out of the carriage to exercise his body, but he didn't see Gu Ding coming out when he was having breakfast, so he asked A Lang to call him.

A Lang patted on the door of the carriage, but did not hear a response. He hooked his head and looked into the window, his expression suddenly changed.

"Lord, it's bad! The boss is gone!"

Gu Ding disappeared.

His car was still closed from the inside, but the man disappeared from the car.

Everyone shouted in turns nearby, but Gu Ding did not hear any response.

Tang Bo asked all the children to get into the carriage after breakfast, with an unclear expression on their faces.

The disappearance of Gu Ding cast a shadow over everyone's heart.

Tang Bo asked everyone to stay where they were, and left a few arrows for Yan Ren and the others, and went into the mountain again alone.

He suspected that Gu Ding's disappearance was either related to the monster in the mountain or Yunmei.

He didn't know if he could find the monster that the golden ax turned into, and he didn't know if he could meet the female ghost Yunmei. He planned to go and see the pair of brothers and sisters first.

The siblings were not at home, and the door was closed.

Tang Bo opened the door lock and searched around the house, but found nothing unusual, nor did he find anything like the basement.

Coming out of the wooden house, Tang Bo's eyes fell on the place where the exquisite puppet was hanging before, but the puppet was no longer there.

Tang Bo turned around and headed towards the deep mountain.

Under the influence of the power of the river crab, what he saw was the real scene.

The devil mountain forest, like a natural maze, couldn't stop his footsteps, allowing him to move towards the top of the mountain step by step.

This devil mountain is much larger than he imagined, with an altitude of about 800 meters.

Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see mountains surrounded on all sides, forming a deep circular valley.

This is the mountain nest indicated on the map of Yan Ren's ancestors.

Puffs of white smoke rise from the mountain nests. This kind of scene is relatively common in the mountains. Generally, it appears most often after rain. It is one of the natural reactions of geothermal heat when it encounters moisture.

The white mist and green hills, the scene looks quite beautiful, if the white mist is not poisonous.

Tang Bo also saw a bag of earth that seemed to have been piled up not long ago, just under a big tree on the top of the mountain, and the soil was still damp.

Tang Bo walked over to look at the earth bag that looked like a grave, and took out a shovel to dig it out without much hesitation.

There is nothing under the dirt bag.

Tang Bo dug nearly two meters deep, but still found nothing. He didn't bother to fill the soil back, so he left a big hole there.

It seemed that something was staring at him secretly.

Tang Bo turned his head, but saw nothing.

Tang Bo sneered, put on a self-made mask and found a better way to enter the mountain nest. No matter who was following him secretly, he hoped that the other party would take the initiative to find him.

If Gu Ding is fine, that's all. If something happens to Gu Ding, he will definitely turn Wu Yunling upside down!

Along the way, Tang Bo didn't hear any birds and insects.

The entire valley was dead silent, but there were still many plants growing.

The anti-virus effect of homemade masks will not be great, and it is better than nothing.Tang Bo boldly walked into the valley by relying on the trick of [hurting others to benefit himself].

He was looking for a place where the white mist was rising, and this kind of place was probably a natural salt well.

Not only did Tang Bo see natural salt wells that looked like gopher holes, but he also saw small salt ponds connected one after another.

The white mist floating over the salt pond became thicker.

Tang Bo thought that if he wanted to exploit the salt mines here, he would first have to ventilate the valley, change the surrounding terrain, and let the poisonous gas disperse.

There is water in the salt pond, the water color is whitish, and there are a lot of white crystals on the water surface and the edge of the pool.

Tang Bo felt a little weird.

The salt ponds in this valley are so obvious, why have only Yan Ren's ancestors discovered them so far?

The Dark Cloud Collar is nearby. Has no hunter discovered the salt pond here?

Just when Tang Bo was puzzled, he didn't notice that the white mist that was floating before was gathering behind him.

Tang Bo turned around suddenly.

But it was too late, a large amount of white mist enveloped him.

Tang Bo felt his skin tingle and he also felt difficulty in breathing.

Is this a halogenated gas?

Why is it a little different.

Tang Bo felt that the white mist drilled into his nostrils and ear holes as if consciously.

【Laziness】Activate and automatically reflect damage.

The white mist dispersed a little, and gathered again.

This is by no means a simple halogenated gas!Tang Bo quickly took out the torch from the space, lit it and danced.

The white mist disperses suddenly, this thing is afraid of flames.

Tang Bo felt his skin tingle badly, and subconsciously used [harming others to benefit himself].

A wave of energy surged into his body, and a layer of white skin flakes fell off his body surface.

This thing is not fog, it is obviously a white fog composed of countless life forms.

Tang Bo sees that [Harvest others to benefit oneself] is available, and increases the intensity of absorbing those tiny lives.

The tiny life that got into his body died faster.

Tang Bo waved the torch, ran out of the valley, and returned to the top of the Devil's Mountain.

Strange to say, the white mist seemed to have no intention of leaving the valley, and when they found Tang Bo running up the mountain, they didn't get entangled again.

"What the hell is this?" Tang Bo patted the white flakes on his body, and then twisted them up to examine them carefully.

This thing is as fine as dust, and it sticks together to form something like white dander.Twist it slightly, it feels like...salt?

Tang Bo was sure that he had never seen a creature like it before, and it should be a specialty of the Devil's Valley in the Dark Cloud Territory of Double Moon Star.

Tang Bo inspected his whole body, and the tingling sensation had completely disappeared. Not only that, he also felt a coolness in his head, as if drinking a bowl of ice water in summer, it was very refreshing.

But thinking that those tiny bugs had already covered his whole body, Tang Bo kept flipping his hair while undressing and beating.

[Want to know what this is?After the update, the query function has been enabled, and this question only needs to pay 5 achievement points. 】The voice of the system sounded in Tang Bo's mind.

"You have finally become more useful." Tang Bo sarcastically said.

The system behaved very calmly: [Would you like to inquire? 】

"What is this bug? I will introduce it in detail. Don't just use a name to fool me."

[The query is successful, 5 achievement points have been deducted.The creature is called a salt worm, it lives in groups, it likes a saline-alkali environment, it is addicted to eating salt, and its excrement is precious salt essence.Salt essence tastes very good as a seasoning, and it has a miraculous effect on disinfection and sterilization.After the salt worm dies, the body is the best salt essence. 】

[The group of salt worms living in the Devil's Mountain in Wuyunling mutated into soul-devouring salt worms after being washed by a large amount of magic energy.Not only is he addicted to salt, but he also likes to devour spiritual power.The excrement of this soul-eating salt worm is precious soul-replenishing salt essence, which can replenish soul power in addition to the advantages of the original salt essence.The corpse of the soul-devouring salt bug is the best soul-replenishing product. 】

Tang Bo thought of the slight abnormality he noticed just now, and immediately checked his mental strength value, and found that it had indeed risen. Although the value was small, it still rose.

It seems that the corpses of those soul-devouring salt bugs are not only harmless to him, but also beneficial.

If he had known, he would have collected the corpses of these bugs.

[In addition, soul-eating insects are extremely precious to the demons. The demons are not only afraid of soul-eating insects, but also proud of subduing them, because soul-eating insects can help the host improve the soul power. 】

"Demon energy? Demon race? Are there really demon races in this world?"

[Are you sure to query this question?Need achievement value 3000 points. 】

Fuck, so expensive?Tang Bo scolded profiteers, "Leave aside the matter of the demon race, and continue to introduce the salt worm. Tell me about its nemesis, characteristics, advantages, and why it doesn't leave the valley."

[The batch of soul-eating salt worms in the Devil's Mountain are formed automatically by ordinary salt worms after tens of thousands of years of magic energy erosion, and are more precious than ordinary soul-eating worms.Soul-eating worms can only devour mental power and harm souls.But the mutated soul-devouring salt worms have the dual advantages of soul-devouring insects and salt worms, and at the same time, they have a unique ability. They can transfer their food and home, that is, transfer salt mines. 】

Tang Bo's eyes lit up: "Transfer the salt mine? Are you saying that these soul-eating salt bugs can transfer the salt mines and salt ponds in this valley to other places?"

【yes.This is the unique ability of the mutant soul-eating salt worms. When they feel that the place where they live is no longer safe or they don't like it anymore, they can move with their homes and food.If necessary, they can also hide their homes and food so that other creatures do not covet it. 】

Tang Bo never thought that there would be such a magical creature in this world: "Is it because of these soul-eating salt bugs that the salt pool mine in Devil's Mountain has not been discovered?"

【right.People who discover salt mines will also find soul-devouring salt bugs. In order to protect their food and home, soul-devouring salt bugs will automatically attack all creatures that find salt mines.The soul of the attacked creature disappeared and died, so naturally the news of the salt mine would not be spread. 】

"How did Yanren's ancestors find out that there is a salt mine here?" Tang Bo thought of the answer before the system could answer.Because the ancestor of Yanren was a person favored by the gods, he could tell that there was a salt mine without actually entering the Devil's Valley.

Tang Bo could even imagine that when Yan Ren's ancestors found out that there was a salt mine here, they might want to explore it carefully, but he might have heard the legend of the Devil's Mountain, or he might have driven his servants into the mountain to investigate first, but all the servants died. Went into Devil's Valley in person, only to leave a map of where there might be salt.

Fortunately, Yanren met him. If Yanren and Donglin escaped from the Yandong collar and followed the treasure map left by their ancestors to find this place, let alone occupying the salt mine, maybe not a few of them will be dead by now. indivual.

The system did not answer Tang Bo's question, because this question has nothing to do with salt bugs.

Then the system introduced in detail the reasons why the soul-devouring salt worms could not leave the Devil's Valley: [Salt worms are extremely home-loving creatures. Although soul-devouring salt worms can grow by devouring the soul power of other creatures, they are still salt worms in essence. , do not like to leave the salt. 】

"Just because of this?"

【Because of this.Creatures have their own territory, and they rarely leave their territory in their entire lives, especially for salt worms.It is also because the soul-devouring salt bugs have continued the characteristics of the salt bugs, so they did not spread everywhere like the real soul-devouring bugs, causing great harm. 】

"Then how do I subdue these soul-eating salt bugs and make them work for me?" Tang Bo was moved to subdue them when he heard from the system that these bugs could migrate salt mines automatically.

[Look for the bug king of the soul-devouring salt bug, and if you subdue it, you will be able to subdue the entire soul-devouring salt bug swarm. 】

"What is the method to subdue the Soul Devouring Salt Bug King?"

[Querying this method requires 100 achievement points. 】

Tang Bo: "..." He also said that Goudan is more conscientious today, and he collected 5 achievement points for so many introductions. He didn't expect to be waiting for him here.

The system said again: [If the person being transformed is reluctant to use achievement points, he can use mental strength instead, 1 point of achievement can replace 1 point of spiritual strength. 】

Tang Bo's eyes narrowed slightly. It turned out that Goudan was beating him to grab his attention.

Isn't this just like the soul-devouring insects, they all want to devour his soul power, but it's just a different name.

"Just deduct the achievement points." Although Tang Bo knew that Goudan had bad intentions, he still needed this guy, and he didn't find a way to get this guy out of his soul, so he could only pretend to be a fool for the time being.

[100 achievement points have been deducted successfully, there are two ways to subdue the Soul Devouring Salt Bug King...]
