Seeing the serious look on the other party's face, Guan Heng immediately said: "If you have anything to do, just say it."

"My clan uncle has always worked slowly and meticulously. Your bow and sword bronze box will definitely not be completed if it doesn't take a day and a half." Xu Bai touched his chin at this time and smiled: "In this case, you and everyone will also have to go to Songguo Mountain.

I’m going to stay here for a while. In that case, you might as well do me a favor.”

"Help? Yes, I have nothing to do anyway." Guan Heng said: "Brother Agou and Tianlin had discussed taking a stroll in the village before, and I don't have anything else to do."

"That's good. I'll come to see you tomorrow and tell you exactly what to do."

The corners of Xu Bai's mouth turned up, and a smile flashed across his face. When he turned to leave, he specially warned: "Oh, that's right, besides you, it's best to treat the elephant snake bird, the sharp-billed mountain ray and the ghost-eating tiger."

Take them all with you, maybe they can come in handy."

"You are so mysterious that you are unwilling to tell me the truth now." Guan Heng curled his lips and then answered loudly: "I know."

…

Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was dawn the next day. The morning light first appeared. As soon as the sunlight fell on Guan Heng’s forehead, Xu Bai was already knocking on the door outside: “Hey, Guan Heng, wake up quickly, get up quickly.”

Bar."

When Guan Heng reached out and opened the door, he said sleepily and impatiently: "Hey, Boss Xu, can't you come back later?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. Copper beetles are most energetic in the early morning. Once the mid-morning hour passes, they become listless and unwilling to move." Xu Bai said in a hurry: "Hurry up and wash your hands."

Show your face and call your beasts to come with me."

"What do you call me a beast?!" Guan Heng poured cold water on his face and said angrily: "Why do I think this is a curse?"

"Ouch--" As soon as he finished his words, the Ghost Swallowing Tiger lying in the corner of the room roared and glanced at Xu Bai with a displeased look on his face.

"Okay, it's okay if I said something wrong?" Xu Bai said, shaking the bamboo basket in his hand: "There are a lot of food prepared here, all for you, eat while you are walking, after all

The brothers are still waiting for us."

"Hmm...it tastes good." Guan Heng reached out and grabbed a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. At this moment, the snake-like bird flapped its wings and landed on his shoulder. The sharp-billed mountain ray and giant tiger also came over. Guan Heng

Heng hurriedly shouted: "Go, go, go, wait until I'm full before it's your turn, mountain bream! No stealing!"

Xu Bai was dumbfounded as he watched from the side. He muttered: "Oh, it seems that we are still not prepared enough."

…

A few moments later, Guan Heng and Xu Bai met the Bi family brothers at the entrance of the village. He asked: "Hey, can you tell me now what you are looking for with me?"

"Oh, that's it." Binango said: "Xiao Bei and I, one caught the copper beetles and the other got the boxwood leaves. Xu Bai said that while you haven't left the Weishui tribe, we can cooperate for

Do you have any objection to our clan looking for new copper veins?"

"Looking for mineral veins? No big deal." Guan Heng agreed without hesitation: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Let's go to the northern foot of Songuo Mountain first. We'll tell you on the way." Xu Bai said and waved, and everyone immediately walked out of the village.

It turns out that in the vast Songguo Mountain, the Weishui tribe has mined a lot of copper mines over the past hundreds of years, but they are all concentrated near the main peaks of the east and west slopes. In the past ten years, these two areas rich in copper mines have been close to drying up.

dry.

However, it is not that there are no copper mines in the rest of Songuo Mountain, but the main veins are more than ten feet underground and are difficult to discover, let alone excavate.

At this time, the "copper mother beetle" can come in handy. This kind of evil insect has a very special temperament. As long as they have eaten their fill of boxwood leaves, they will dig holes and dig in the soil desperately to create a tunnel and go to

Sleeping near the underground mineral veins, and in this way, you can lead the miners to find the mineral veins.

"That's how it is, but we have only seen the method of copper beetles searching for mineral veins in the teachings of our ancestors." Xu Bai said at this time: "No one has actually experienced this kind of thing, and I don't know what to do, so I want to find more.

A few helpers."

"Yes, there are demonic insects inhabiting everywhere under the Pine Cone Mountain. There are many troublesome guys in the deep red and semi-black realms. While looking for mineral veins, we will definitely find it difficult to deal with them." Binango smiled slightly: "So

It's very important to have a few capable helpers around you."

Bi Beiqi also whispered beside him: "I originally wanted to ask Brother Agou for help, but he usually always has a stern face and doesn't smile, which seemed a bit awkward to us, so we had to settle for the next best thing and decided to ask you.

.”

"Bah!" Guan Heng spat fiercely on the ground at this time: "Treat me as a 'backup thug'? How dare you three brothers say this?!"

"Brother, brother Guan!"

Xu Bai hurriedly walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Ignore those two idiots from the Bi family. They are used to talking nonsense. They are not good people at all. Hehehe, I didn't think so. In my opinion, Xu Bai

, although Agou can fight, you have more potential, my brother can trust you, you are the strongest!"

"Well, that's pretty much it. Although I can smell the lie from eight feet away, I can't help but love hearing it."

Guan Heng hugged his shoulders and snorted: "Listen up, you three, it's absolutely fine if you want me to help you as a bodyguard, but you must respect me and flatter me as much as possible. Hey, what's so great about Brother Gou?

I will definitely be better than him in the future."

Seeing Xu Bai glare at their brothers, the Bi brothers could only shout perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, you are absolutely right."

"Ouch——"

"Quack!"

"Chichichichi——" The birds and animals accompanying him all roared and hissed in unison. Guan Heng touched his chin proudly: "Haha, then I will just be careless. Great Mercy will trust you."

Xu Bai and the Bi brothers looked at each other and sighed inwardly: "Sigh...how much self-confidence does it take for a half-red strongman to boast as well as a black-qi tyrant?"

A few moments later. "Here we are, here is the northern foothills of Songguo Mountain, nearly ten miles away from our village." Binango pointed to a small peak not far ahead and said, "That is the main peak of the northern foothills, but there are already

In seven or eight years, none of our people will come near this place."

When Guan Heng heard this, he asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Haha." Xu Bai next to him smiled bitterly, and then said: "That's because..."

"Ouch -" At this moment, a tiger roar suddenly came from the mountain forest not far away, and the sound shook the surrounding areas and resounded through the sky. Everyone present looked stern, and then, the ghost-eating tiger next to Guan Heng stared blankly.
