Zhao Hai had Wen Wenhai and the others enter the other caves to see what was inside. Although Zhao Hai already knew what was behind some of the caves, he still had to do this. This was because he couldn't let Wen Wenhai and the others know that he already knew. At the same time, Zhao Hai also chose a cave and entered it.
Before long, Zhao Hai entered the cave. Not long after entering the cave, they walked through a small passage that was about ten meters long before Zhao Hai suddenly appeared in an even bigger cave. This cave was very deep into the mountain. Under normal circumstances, this place should be very dark. However, the cave that Zhao Hai was in wasn't dark at all. This was because there were five small caves that were spewing out Earth Fire.
This was a cave with an area of nearly a thousand square meters. In this cave, there were five small entrances. These five entrances weren't close to each other, there was some distance between each of them. Inside these five entrances, flames were spurting out from the entrances. These flames were more than a meter high, making the temperature inside the cave very high. At the same time, it also made the cave very bright.
Zhao Hai looked at the Earth Fire and finally let out a long breath. He was now sure that this was a natural base that the heavens gave them. With this Earth Fire, they can refine artifacts and pills. They wouldn't have to worry about the lack of temperature anymore.
Then Wen Wenhai and the others also came in. Wen Wenhai and the others went to the other caves and found several caves that were about the same size as the one that Zhao Hai discovered. These caves also had Earth Fire exits. Because of this, Wen Wenhai and the others were very excited.
Zhao Hai carefully inspected the cave. In the end, his eyes narrowed. This was because he found some traces of artificial excavation in the cave. However, these traces seemed to have been there for many years. This made Zhao Hai feel strange. At the same time, it also made Zhao Hai understand that there were people who came to the Secret Realm in the past.
Additionally, when the Giant Tree chatted with Zhao Hai, he said that he had heard about Humans. This also confirmed Zhao Hai's guess.
One must know that the Giant Tree shouldn't have been in contact with people before. This was because after the Spirit Weapon Realm discovered the Secret Realm, they sent people to investigate. However, the beasts in the Secret Realm weren't vegetarians. Their strength was very formidable. Even a Broken River Realm expert wouldn't be able to escape unscathed. In this case, the Giant Tree had never seen a human before, nor did he have any contact with them. So where did he hear about humans? Either he had seen them before, or he remembered incorrectly.
Looking at the current situation, it was very likely that the Giant Tree had seen people before. Although the cave seemed to be naturally formed, Zhao Hai was still able to find traces of artificial excavation. However, one day, Zhao Hai was certain that the Earth Fire was naturally formed and not artificially created.
Moreover, looking at the situation in the cave and the Secret Realm, even if there were people in the Secret Realm in the past, they were either dead or had left. Moreover, after they left, nobody came here. This was because there were no signs of human activity.
Zhao Hai let out a long breath, he wasn't prepared to tell Wen Wenhai and the others about this matter. So he turned to Wen Wenhai and the others and said, "Alright, from today onwards, this will be our new base. Wenhai, take the brothers back to the stronghold and tell them that we've found a new base. At the same time, have Old Tang and the others come over. I'll stay here, I still need to look for something." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, from today onwards, this will be our new base.
When Wen Wenhai and the others heard Zhao Hai, they nodded with excitement. Then they led the others away. However, when they left, they left 20 people behind for Zhao Hai. Wen Wenhai only took 30 people with him.
Zhao Hai didn't blame Wen Wenhai. No matter what, he was now the commander of the 12th stronghold. If he left his brother here, then Wen Wenhai and the others wouldn't be able to do it. Therefore, it was normal for them to leave some people for him to use. Zhao Hai didn't get angry, he had the people find a place to rest first.
When everyone found a cave to rest, Zhao carefully looked at the cave. It was very likely that this cave was left behind after the eruption of the volcano. As for the fire, although it looked fierce now, it was no longer a threat. It was even more impossible for the volcano to erupt here. Zhao Hai looked at the cave carefully and thought that it was very likely that it was left behind after the volcano erupted.
Erupting volcanoes were active volcanoes. And active volcanoes had one characteristic, that is, they were active. Active volcanoes can also be described with another word, that is, unstable volcanoes. Only unstable volcanoes can be called active volcanoes.
Although there was earth fire in the cave, the earth fire was very stable. The flames were always high, neither low nor high. Although this looked terrible, it also proved that the volcano was very stable. A stable volcano wouldn't be a threat.
After Wen Wenhai and the others left, Zhao Hai didn't stay in the cave. After letting the people rest for a day, Zhao Hai gave them a task to make things. Wooden buckets, basins, and other things must be made. At the same time, they also needed to make some daily necessities, such as beds, tables, and other things.
While making the people in the cave to make things, Zhao Hai went to the forest. He went there to collect some plants and animals. Also, he wanted to find the plants that grew on the ores that the tree mentioned. Then he would pick the Ore Essence Fruits.
These Ore Essence Fruits were very important to Zhao, because these fruits were the essence of ores. Moreover, the ores produced by the trees were very rare. If it weren't for the strong vitality of the plants in the Secret Realm, then it would have been impossible for the trees to grow on the ores, let alone produce the ores' essence. One must know that the ores produced by the trees naturally had dual attributes, which was very rare.
Metals were generally of the metal attribute. Of course, there were also some special metals that had other attributes. However, such metals weren't very common. Besides the metal attribute, there were also wood attributes. This was because metal restrained wood. Metal and wood attributes were almost impossible to coexist. Therefore, it was very rare to find a metal with wood attributes. No matter where it was, such metals were very precious.
Under the tree's command, Zhao Hai went around the forest. He didn't dare to fly too high. In the Secret Realm, flying too high was no different than courting death. Some aggressive plants, some birds, and some beasts on the ground would attack targets in the sky. Because of this, flying in the sky was very dangerous. Although Zhao Hai was flying, his altitude was generally half a meter above the ground.
Before long, Zhao Hai arrived at a small hill under the tree's command. Upon arriving at the hill, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. This was because he discovered that the trees on this hill were very similar to the trees in Iron Tree Mountain. The trees here were all dark green, which was a sharp contrast to the surrounding trees.
Zhao Hai communicated with the trees here. It didn't take long before he discovered that the trees here were more intelligent than the surrounding trees. However, they were still very respectful towards the tree. This was because these trees were the tree's descendants. Therefore, they were very obedient towards the tree.
These trees weren't very thick, but their branches gave people a feeling of toughness. The leaves of these trees were also dark green. Zhao Hai picked up a leaf from the ground. This leaf was much heavier than an ordinary leaf.
On these trees, there were a lot of fruits. These fruits were about the size of an adult's fist. They were dark green, so they weren't very conspicuous. Zhao Hai also saw some of these fruits on the ground. Some of these fruits were heavily rusted while others weren't.
Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn't be polite. First, he received a tree branch into the Space. Then he picked up the fruits on the ground and threw them into the Space. After that, he left the hill. This time, he came out mainly to find these places. He didn't want to immediately pick the fruits. Although they found the cave and decided to make it their base, Zhao Hai was very clear that there was nothing in the base. Even if they took the fruits back, they wouldn't be able to use them immediately. Therefore, he decided to find the place first. In any case, other than them, there wasn't anything else that was interested in these fruits.
In addition to this hill, Zhao Hai also found more than a dozen large and small mountains. The trees on these mountains weren't completely the same. Some of the trees were silver-white, some were yellow, and some were golden. Zhao Hai had already seen these trees. Gold, silver, copper, iron, and other common minerals were all present. For him, this was definitely good news.
Don't underestimate these basic metals. One must know that no matter what kind of weapon it is, these basic materials would be used the most. Not to mention, the fruits on these trees were all made from the essence of these metals. This made them even rarer. Even if you don't add any other materials, Gold Essence would still be the best choice for refining. Not to mention, these Gold Essences also had attributes. Some of them even had three attributes, which made them even rarer. Weapons and artifacts made from these metals would be much more powerful than those made from other materials.
After recording the places where Gold Essence was produced, Zhao Hai returned to the cave. This time, he went out for about ten days. When he returned, he discovered that Wen Wenhai and Tang Ming had already returned. Moreover, the cave had also changed. The entrance of the cave was actually equipped with a door. Moreover, the outside was also cleaned up. At this time, Wen Wenhai and the others were still busy outside the cave. At the same time, they looked nervous.
Looking at their appearance, Zhao Hai was puzzled. "Old Wen, what's wrong with you?"
