The soil and rocks of Axe Mountain were all pure black. Some places were so black that they were shiny. Fang Yun instinctively thought of coal.
The troop chose to stay in a valley that was surrounded by mountains on three sides. A part of them had been building some basic defensive measures with Gong Family's power. Lu Ban Chi emerged in front of some people, directly cutting the solid rocks into pieces and building a fence wall, blocking the entrance of the valley.
Fang Yun glanced at these people. There were only Gong Family members and no Mo Family members. Obviously, the Bloodlight Ancient Land's laws did not only exclude legalism, but also the Mo Family.
Fang Yun looked at the Lu Ban Rulers. When he was free in a few days, he would make some simple mechanisms to condense the Lu Ban Rulers.
He did not need to master the profound power of the Gong Family. He just needed to be useful when needed.
Inside the valley, everyone was busy in full swing.
The red sky and black valley. Fang Yun thought it was a strange environment, but to the people of the Bloodlight Ancient Land, it was normal.
Fang Yun continued to sit in the carriage and read. Not long after, Yun Jieying came over with a smile and said, "Cousin, the tent is ready. I just received news from Uncle Family Head that there will be a banquet tonight. Scholars and High Scholars will be there to discuss some things. "
"Let's go and see the tent." Fang Yun said.
"Okay." Yun Jieying followed Fang Yun to the newly built tent. Fang Yun was very satisfied. Then, he walked with Yun Jieying to the big tent in the middle of the valley.
That was where Family Head Yun He held the banquet.
When he was outside the door, Fang Yun took a look inside. The table inside was made of wooden planks and stones. It was made from local materials. The food on the table was ordinary and light. There was nothing extravagant. The most expensive food was only the marinated beef and mutton. Fang Yun nodded his head and felt that Yunhe was not bad.
More than two thousand people consumed a lot of food and drink. Just the dry food alone would cost them more than four thousand pounds. It was the load of a double-armored ox cart.
If Yun He wanted to enjoy himself. He could bring more expensive food, but that would require more double-armored ox carts. It was too wasteful.
Not long after, everyone entered the big tent.
There were no tables or chairs during the march. Everyone sat on the cushions behind the table.
Yun He sat in the innermost part of the tent, while the other five Jinshi and Yun Hu sat on the two sides. Yun He was closest to Yun He, and behind him were the other High Scholars. They sat in four rows in the tent.
In front of everyone. There was only water and no wine.
Yun He raised his cup and looked at everyone with a kind face. He smiled and said, "The banquet is simple and crude. It's just a family banquet and we're in the middle of a march. Old Man, I won't apologize. Come, Old Man, with water in place of wine, I propose a toast to you all. "
Everyone raised their glasses. Drink all the water in the cup.
After everyone put down their wine glasses, Yun He smiled and said, "Hunting demons is not something that can be done overnight. What's more, we're already at the front lines of the war between the two races. The demons could attack us at any time. However, Old Man has already investigated clearly. Within two hundred li, there are only three bear tribes. Each tribe doesn't have more than two thousand people, and these bear tribes won't come out in full force. As long as their numbers don't exceed a thousand, we can easily defend against them. Don't worry, everyone. "
"Of course we trust you, Patriarch!" a High Scholar said. Everyone nodded in agreement.
Yun He continued, "Hunting demons is the main thing, but according to the old rules, we can't just focus on hunting demons. There are many divine items in Axe Mountain. Dragon Grain Rice and Blood Jade aside, I heard that someone recently found Light Iron in Axe Mountain. Someone even caught a Four Horned Antelope. These are all priceless treasures. "
Hearing about Light Iron, Fang Yun was also quite surprised. This metal was only produced in Kongsheng Ancient Land and the Yao World.
Light Iron's feel and properties were similar to normal iron. The most unique thing about it was that it emitted light like the sun, hence its name.
Light Iron was the divine item that humans needed the most. This was because Light Iron had a special property. It could negate all powers below the Yao Holy Position!
Even if a Grand Yao King was hit by an arrow that contained Light Iron, their blood essence armor, demonic aura, demonic arts, and other defensive powers would be useless. They could only use their flesh and blood to resist the Light Iron arrow.
The Light Iron arrow was specially made by the Craftsmen. It could pierce through the body of a Grand Yao King. The arrow itself could do negligible damage to a Grand Yao King, but every Light Iron arrow was smeared with a lethal poison that could threaten a Grand Yao King.
Unfortunately, the Light Iron arrow not only required Light Iron, but also other types of Godly Iron. In addition, the lethal poison was rare. A single Light Iron arrow cost more than a hundred thousand taels of silver. It was even more expensive than a High Scholar's treasure.
However, to humans, even if it cost ten million taels of silver to poison a Grand Yao King, they would still do everything they could to poison a Grand Yao King.
The problem was that the Godly Iron needed for the Light Iron arrow was too rare. It couldn't be bought with money.
If there was Light Iron in the Bloodlight Ancient Land, the Notre-Dame would definitely have records of it. However, there were no records before. This meant that the people of the Bloodlight Ancient Land had been hiding it, or were unwilling to sell Light Iron to the Notre-Dame.
The Bloodlight Ancient Land needed Light Iron more than the Saint Origin World. With arrows made of Light Iron, coupled with the Craftsmen's crossbows, even a Grand Yao King wouldn't dare to approach them.
As for the Four-Horned Antelope, although it was called an antelope, it was actually a creature that was between a wild beast and a Demon. It was also called a Spirit Beast. This kind of mutton was hard to find even with money.
To the Demon Race, the Four-Horned Antelope was of little value. However, to humans, the Four-Horned Antelope was a weaker Life Fruit. No matter where one was injured, no matter how serious the injury was, even if one's entire leg was skinned, as long as they ate enough Four-Horned Antelope meat, they would be able to recover completely.
However, the Four-Horned Antelope only grew meat, not bones or organs. It was slightly weaker than the Life Fruit.
The Four-Horned Antelope could also increase one's vitality and extend one's lifespan. As long as any food had these two abilities, it could be sold for an extremely high price.
Hearing about Light Iron and the Four-Horned Antelope, everyone became excited and started discussing in low voices.
"Dragon Grain Rice is precious, but Light Iron is even rarer."
"If we can get half a catty of Light Iron, we won't have to worry about food for the rest of our lives."
After everyone finished discussing, Yun He smiled and said, "When we arrive here, we'll first scout the Demon Bear Tribe. If they don't dare to attack, we'll send a group of people to Axe Mountain to search for the divine item. If they dare to attack, we'll kill them until they don't!"
Yun He's aged face turned a sickly shade of red. His gaze became extremely sharp.
Some of the warlike scholars were stirred up and supported their master.
Yun He's old friend, Kang Xingzhi, was sitting beside Fang Yun. This old Grand Scholar cursed, "F * ck them!"
A few people nearby smiled helplessly. Obviously, they all knew Kang Xingzhi's temper.
Fang Yun also smiled. Many scholars were like this, so he wasn't surprised.
After a while, Yun He said, "I'll announce the Grand Scholars guarding the valley in advance. Yun Dan, Nie Cheng, the two of you will guard the valley while we go out. Are you confident? "
Everyone was stunned.
Among the five Grand Scholars, Kang Xingzhi and Yun He were old friends. Fang Yun didn't need to be mentioned. Yun Ao was Yun He's nephew. Only Yun Dan and Nie Cheng were outsiders.
Letting two outsiders guard the base was a form of trust in other times. However, now that they could go into the mountains to search for treasures, it was almost like publicly declaring that they didn't trust the two of them.
