The head of the village nodded: "A few here and there, not as many as here."

"Take us there." Lu Qing said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The head of the village seemed to be very afraid of this female head catcher.

A group of people walked to the south, the mountain road was rugged, and it was extremely difficult to climb.Also, he had to take into account that the liar chief, a bad old man, didn't leave quickly.

"That's right here." The Li Chang stopped on the narrow path, pointing to the front, which was an excavated open space.

Rocks were piled up, vegetation was cut down, and there were several cave-like kilns for burning ashes.

Several people searched the scene, but found no valuable clues. The place has been cleaned up long ago.

Song Tingfeng and Lu Qing looked at each other and shook their heads.

Xu Qi'an said: "Go into the kiln and have a look."

Several people collected materials locally, lit torches, drew out their sabers, and cautiously entered the kiln.

I thought it was just a kiln for burning ashes, and it wouldn't be too deep, but as we walked, Xu Qi'an and the others realized that something was wrong.

This is not a kiln, it is clearly a tunnel dug by the population, and it took a cup of tea to get to the end.

Song Tingfeng squinted his eyes and said: "The kiln doesn't need to be dug so deep, it's obvious that something is being excavated, and there are no traces of smoke and fire on the stone wall."

Lu Qing summoned the head of the village and asked, "What's going on?"

The chief was dumbfounded, and said, "I, I don't know."

Xu Qi'an held up the torch, observed the rock wall, and carefully surveyed the ground for a while.He casually picked up a palm-sized white ore.

Is this what was mined?

It doesn't look like limestone.

Xu Qi'an exerted force with his palm, and his energy surged. In the sound of "clicking", the white ore was crushed into powder by him.

He held the torch and sprinkled the powder into the flames.

call!

The torch burst into flames in an instant, bright yellow with a dull purple.

saltpeter? !

Xu Qi'an's pupils shrank.

The sudden rise of flames surprised everyone in the grotto, and the sound of saber condensing energy came one after another.

Seeing that it was Xu Qi'an who did it, Lu Qing was slightly angry: "What are you doing?"

Chapter 69 The Shot of the Magic Pen

Xu Qi'an slowly swept across the faces of his colleagues, and said in a deep voice, "This is saltpeter."

The name saltpeter was very unfamiliar to the warriors present who were seldom read and lacked relevant knowledge.

Song Tingfeng exchanged glances with his colleagues, frowned and asked, "Saltpeter?"

Xu Qi'an thought about it: "I'll change the name, so you guys will know more about Yanyan. It is the main material for making gunpowder."

Everyone present, their faces changed uncontrollably.

Gunpowder is Dafeng's secret technique, one of the means to deter the nations of the world, but all the formulas and materials related to gunpowder are strictly controlled by Dafeng (mainly saltpeter).

Even the watchmen have little knowledge of the composition of gunpowder.

A saltpeter mine was discovered in Dahuang Mountain and there were traces of mining. Song Tingfeng no longer had a smile on his face, and was extremely serious: "Go back to the capital immediately and report this matter."

Compared with the chaos caused by monsters, the discovery of saltpeter mines is the most important thing.

Lu Qing stared at the grey-haired Li Chang, and ordered: "Tie it up and take it away."

There is actually a saltpeter mine in Dahuang Mountain, and as the head of the village, you say you don't know about it?No matter what, they had to be taken back for interrogation.

Two policemen took off the rope around their waists, tied the chief's hands behind his back, and escorted him out.

The chief should be ignorant, otherwise he wouldn’t have brought us here. It’s illogical, and from the body language and other details, he doesn’t look like an insider. The reason why the monster drives away the ashes is the saltpeter mine?

The possibility is very small, and a professional must be invited to judge the mining time of the saltpeter mine here before making a judgment.

Xu Qi'an combed through all kinds of thoughts in his mind, held a torch, and just stepped out of the cave when Lu Qing's scream came from his ear: "Be careful!"

At the same time, he heard the whistling sound of piercing the air, and a black shadow shot from the side, so fast that he had no time to make any response.

boom!

The gong on his chest cracked, and Xu Qi'an felt himself being hit head-on by a high-speed rail train. The powerful force of the impact sent him flying, and his consciousness instantly fell into darkness.

The sudden attack caught everyone by surprise, and each reacted differently.

The three police officers of the government office drew out their sabers and took off their crossbows.

Zhu Guangxiao kicked Lichang into the grotto with a sweep of his legs. Song Tingfeng drew his knife and shouted, "Get in, don't come out."

On the boulder on the side of the grotto, lay a two-foot-long monster that looked like a salamander, and its body was covered with thick armor.

There were sharp horns on his forehead, and his amber pupils shone with a cold, cruel and fierce light.

The forelimbs have four toes.

Its cheeks are bulging, as if it is hiding a hidden weapon, ready to launch an attack at any time.

"puff!"

A black shadow that could hardly be caught by the naked eye shot out, hitting Song Tingfeng directly.

The latter narrowed his eyes, his body reacted more than his brain, and instinctively leaned back, avoiding the blow through the heart.

Lu Qing stepped forward, stepped on the stones continuously, splashed stone powder, and slashed with a knife in both hands.

The high-frequency vibration of the humming blade.

"Ding Ding Ding"

In a series of toothache sounds, the blade cut sparks on the tip of the tongue.

Only then did everyone see that the monster's long tongue was covered with a layer of fine scales.
