The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 30 The Source of Disaster
(Thanks to the book friend "The Wolf Walking Alone in the Dark Night" for the reward!)
The sun was shining and the sky was a clear blue.

Breathing the grassy air in the mountains, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help feeling refreshed.

Their luck was pretty good. While they were out searching for meteorites, they encountered another hunter who entered the mountain.

This person was captured by Zhao Yanxun and asked him to be the guide into the mountain.

Of course, this was not done for nothing, Zhao Yanxun directly gave this person 20 taels of silver, which was enough for the Orion to earn for half a year.

"How far is it?" Zhao Yanxun asked.

Zhang Ermu, who was leading the way, stopped in his tracks, turned around and replied cautiously: "Returning to the prince, it's just in front, and the little one has never been here before...so I only know a rough idea!"

It turned out that on the day when the meteorite fell, Zhang Ermu was on his way back from the mountains, when he saw a sky fire falling on a distant mountain, which was the place where he led Zhao Yanxun and his party at this moment.

It was dark at that time, and it was not clear where it fell, so they could only look for it slowly.

In fact, this already made Zhao Yanxun feel lucky, at least he didn't have to search all over the mountains and plains.

"Look around. Meteorites are different from other stones. After you find them, don't approach them. You must first inform me!"

"Whoever discovers the meteorite first will receive 50 taels of silver!"

The last sentence can be said to have greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of the guards, 50 taels is already a lot of money.

The guards were all busy, the mountains were three to five miles long and wide, and it only took at least an hour for more than 20 guards to search in a blanket manner.

Seeing his subordinates busy, Xu Hong, who was standing beside Zhao Yanxun, said: "My lord, I have questions!"

"Say it!" Zhao Yanxun looked calm.

"My lord, since all the monsters have been killed, why do we still come to find this Laoshizi meteorite?"

Zhao Yanxun didn't answer directly, but smiled and said: "Isn't the monster last night scary?"

After Xu Hong thought for a while, he said, "Scary..."

Although he didn't want to admit it, Xu Hong still spoke his mind when he thought of the thrilling experience last night.

"There were only six last night, and you were at a loss for what to do. If there were sixty, six hundred, six thousand...or even endless monsters, what would the world be like?"

There are endless monsters, just thinking about that scene makes Xu Hong shudder.

"Your Highness, what does this have to do with meteorites?" Xu Hong asked with focus.

"Because this meteorite is the source of monsters and the bane of the world!" Zhao Yanxun said solemnly.

After hearing these words, Xu Hong understood the relationship.

Xu Hong was extremely puzzled as to why meteorites produced monsters, but he kept the question to himself for the time being, and planned to find another opportunity to ask again.

Zhao Yanxun randomly found a rock to sit on. Anyway, he is covered in mud now, so it doesn't matter if it is dirty or not.

At this moment, he is more concerned about whether the people below can find the meteorite.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and after less than half an hour, a guard rushed over excitedly.

"I found it... my lord, I found the meteorite!"

This guy is also a chicken thief. In order to prevent others from falsely claiming credit, he simply rushed to Zhao Yanxun before revealing the situation.

"Where is it?" Zhao Yanxun asked immediately.

"My lord, it's just ahead!"

"lead the way!"

Afterwards, Zhao Yanxun followed the guard and hurried to the side of the mountain.

After walking forward for only 3 minutes, Zhao Yanxun and his party arrived at the destination, and the rest of the guards followed.

Stopping, looking at the carbonized forest in front of him, and the big black rock in the middle, this is undoubtedly the meteorite.

Black air, rich black air, is constantly exuding.

The position three feet away from it is the enveloped area of ​​black air radiation, and Zhao Yanxun and his party are standing three feet away.

"It's this stone that turned the Orion family into monsters. Everyone stood three feet away, otherwise they would surely die!" Zhao Yanxun said coldly.

The guards didn't dare to be negligent, and none of them wanted to become a monster and die without any dignity at all.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Yanxun gathered a pile of mud from the ground and threw it onto the meteorite.

Sure enough, after the mud fell on it, it blocked the black air directly, and Zhao Yanxun immediately had an idea.

"The mud can wrap the meteorite, throw the mud on it!"

Hearing these words, the guards took action one after another, and soon the big meteorite, which was hugged by the two of them, was completely covered by the mud.

Then Zhao Yanxun ordered people to dig a hole. This meteorite is so big that it must be buried deeper.

This meant digging a big hole. Fortunately, there were a large number of guards on site, and the speed of digging the hole was fairly fast.

Zhao Yanxun dug the pit next to the meteorite, and ordered someone to fetch the rope, intending to drag the stone into the pit after it was tied.

Thirty feet away, everyone is now tied to the rope, and the other end is tied to the top of the meteorite.

"pull……"

Zhao Yanxun let out a loud roar, and everyone pulled hard together, and one side of the meteorite immediately left the ground.

"Keep pulling..." Zhao Yanxun roared, and he was also among the guards.

Everyone exerted their strength together again, and the huge meteorite lost its center of gravity immediately, and just fell into the pit after falling.

Everyone cheered, Zhao Yanxun also breathed a sigh of relief at the moment.

Looking at Orion who was leading the way, Zhao Yanxun said solemnly: "Don't talk about today's affairs, and keep this matter in your stomach forever,"

"Yes, I understand!" Zhang Ermu quickly replied.

He wasn't interested in meteorites, let alone knowing that it was an evil thing, so he wouldn't even think about it.

The guards were constantly throwing mud into the pit, and Zhao Yanxun ordered people to go forward to bury it until the black air stopped coming out.

The next thing was simple. The guards filled the pit with rocks and soil, and quickly restored the pit to the ground.

At this time, Xu Hong came to Zhao Yanxun's side and said, "My lord, since this stone is so dangerous, outsiders must be unreliable. In Yichen's opinion... it's better to kill that Orion, and keep the secret of this place!"

To be honest, Zhao Yanxun also had this kind of thought, but he finally denied it.

It is indeed the simplest and most effective way to kill people and silence them, but once the matter has started, you will not be able to stop it later.

Looking at the honest Zhang Ermu in the distance, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep tone: "Kill him... who will lead us out of the mountain!"

In fact, Xu Hong wanted to say that he would kill him after leaving the mountain, but he is a smart person after all, and he already understood Zhao Yanxun's intention at this moment.

At this moment, the guards have laid vegetation and branches in the crater, and the camouflage here has been completed.

"It's time to go back!" Zhao Yanxun said calmly.

After being out for a day and a night, the people in the palace must have been very anxious.

He, the prince, is the foundation for the survival of the palace. To be honest, he shouldn't come out and run around. If he didn't pay attention last night, Zhao Yanxun would explain it here.

But with high risk and high reward, Zhao Yanxun gained a lot from this time, and directly filled up the first round of skills.

Although the difficulty of subsequent upgrades will increase, this is also due, otherwise the abilities will not be full soon.

Following Zhao Yanxun's order, the guards gathered one after another, and Zhao Yanxun gave the order to return after counting all their hands.

Although it was not raining, the return journey was still muddy and it was extremely inconvenient to walk.

Under Zhao Yanxun's instruction, along the way, Xu Hong introduced the dangers of meteorites to Zhang Ermu in detail, and mentioned the tragic situation of Wu Laosan and Wang Changxin's family.

Hearing these sensational things, Zhang Ermu couldn't help the numbness of his legs and feet, and vowed in his heart that he would never go to the mountain just now.
