"The last time … … should be when he returned from the North Style Academy, around November." Ying Xiao looked at Lu Ping and Su Tang's serious expressions and temporarily put away his ecstasy from discovering the resurrection of the godly medicine. He tried hard to recall and said.
At this moment, Lu Ping jumped back from outside the pit and shook his head at Su Tang.
"Did you forget? They are underground, it is impossible to see them like this. "Su Tang said to Lu Ping.
"I just want to see if there is anyone moving around outside." Lu Ping said.
"I think they should be around here. If they are too far, it won't affect the changes in the soil here. "Su Tang said.
Lu Ping nodded. Morin also squatted down at this moment and scooped up some mud to sniff.
"Can you find anything?" Lu Ping asked him. Although Morin's medical skills had always been criticized by them, from his ability to use poison, he was indeed very proficient in pharmacology.
"It should be some kind of discarded medicine dregs that arrived here through some means. That's why it became like this." Morin said and began to size up the quagmire, searching for clues in the surroundings.
"If I knew earlier, I would have brought two buckets." Ying Xiao was currently immersed in his regret.
"Over here." Morin found something after walking a circle and called out to everyone. Lu Ping and Su Tang immediately went over. Ying Xiao was still lamenting the fact that he didn't bring a container when he heard the voice and looked over.
This was the side of the quagmire. The snow had already been swept away by Morin and below was the hard frozen ground. Morin patted the ground but didn't find any soft spots.
"Break this place." Morin pointed and said. He couldn't do this kind of work.
Su Tang patted down and the frozen ground cracked. Morin dug layer by layer and finally dug up a handful of mud from the frozen ground.
"Look." Morin proudly showed the handful of mud to them. Lu Ping and Su Tang bent down and quickly turned over the mud. Under the hard layer of soil, there was actually an undercurrent. Although the flow couldn't be seen, it was definitely the same mud as in the quagmire.
"If we follow this path, we should be able to find the source," Morin said.
That being said, the undercurrent was several meters deep in the ground, and there were no traces of it outside the pit. If they wanted to find it, they could only dig a tunnel underground.
"If we weren't in this bitterly cold place, I would still have some ideas." Morin shook his head and sighed. He took out a few seeds from the medicine bag and threw them away regretfully after looking at them. There were almost no plants that could survive in the bitter cold. These seeds had frozen to death in just a few days. Otherwise, he could use the characteristics of the Fog Hunting Grass to find the medicinal source.
"Isn't it just digging a hole? That's easy," Ying Xiao said.
"Oh?" The three of them looked at him.
"I'll find a collection team. They are the best at this kind of thing," Ying Xiao said.
"Then I'll leave it to you," Lu Ping said. He had planned to find it no matter how hard and troublesome it was. He could even dig it himself. However, since Ying Xiao had a better plan, of course, he wouldn't refuse.
"You guys wait here. I'll look for it. " Ying Xiao said and jumped out of the pit. Like Lu Ping, he looked into the distance and left after recognizing the direction.
"I'll put some of this stuff and study it later." At this time, Morin took out a few medicine bottles from his arms and grabbed some mud to put it in a small bottle. At this moment, Lu Ping suddenly stood up and looked up.
"His heart is really big! You just let him go like this? " Two figures appeared on the upper edge. It was Leng Qing and Xu Weifeng who disappeared after they approached Erlu Village. At this time, they stood on top and looked at them. The one who spoke was Leng Qing.
"Where did you go?" Lu Ping asked.
"That's the village of Erlu Village. We'd be crazy to approach it. Of course, we'll find a place outside the village and wait for you to come out, "Leng Qing said.
Lu Ping nodded and pointed to his feet and said, "It's here."
"I heard it," Leng Qing said and jumped down with Xu Weifeng and walked over.
"You really don't doubt him at all?" Leng Qing said.
"I actually doubt it," Morin said, "but with the big boss here, no matter what he does, he'll only be unlucky."
"Will it be Erlu Village from here?" Leng Qing touched the mud on the ground and said.
"I'm not sure," Lu Ping said. The organization and Erlu Village seemed to have some connection, but Lu Ping was still not clear about what was going on.
"Let's wait." Leng Qing said nothing more. She and Xu Weifeng didn't stay here. The two went out of the pit together and kept a distance from each other without any communication. After about an hour, Leng Qing suddenly said, "Here they come." Then she and Xu Weifeng's figure disappeared. Not long after, Ying Xiao came back with more than a dozen people.
"Here it is." Ying Xiao pointed down and more than a dozen people rushed down. Lu Ping and the other two stood to the side. These people didn't pay any attention to the three of them. The leader went to the quagmire and took a look. Then he touched the mud in the undercurrent that Lu Ping and the others had found. He nodded and waved his hand at the others. He said, "Dig along this path."
Then more than a dozen people got busy. Some set up custom settings, some controlled the soil, some stomped on the ground, some waved their fingers, and the last one to make a move was their leader. The copper rod in his hand suddenly shot out and sank straight into the ground. Following that, the others busied themselves again. In the end, it was this person's turn to take the lead. This time, he pulled the copper rod out from the ground. However, with this pull, a large cylindrical piece of frozen soil was brought out. Just like that, a section of an underground passageway was dug out.
"How is it? Is it effective?" Ying Xiao came to the side of the three people and said with a little pride.
"Amazing!" Lu Ping and the other two were deeply impressed. These people had formed a set of system in using their abilities, and they cooperated with each other very well. Everyone did their job. They saw the frozen soil was dug out from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it had dug a few meters deep.
"I have told them clearly, and they will find the right direction. They are all experts in this area." Ying Xiao said.
"You've worked hard." Lu Ping said.
"It's not all for you." Ying Xiao said.
"Why?"
"We have always wanted to know where the Fourth Route is hiding." Ying Xiao said.
"Oh." Lu Ping nodded.
"I will inform the village later, you don't mind, right?" Ying Xiao asked.
"Not at all." Lu Ping shook his head.
"Where did those two guys go, why haven't they appeared." Ying Xiao then muttered.
"When you left, they came here." Lu Ping said.
"Oh, they will probably do the same thing." Ying Xiao said.
"You guys are free. There is only one thing. "Lu Ping said.
"What?"
