Struggle in the Steam Age

After listening to Okita Sakura's story, Lawrence and the others immediately became excited. Because the whole thing finally let everyone see the dawn of success after twists and turns.

So after leaving the laboratory, they ate a bowl of ramen in a nearby small noodle shop to fill their stomachs. Then, he took a public carriage operating in the urban area and rushed to the road closest to the mountain that Okita Sakura mentioned.

"Do you feel that this mountain is no different from the surrounding mountains?" Sai Feier sighed after getting off the car and looking at the surrounding mountains.

Lawrence felt that Safir's feeling was right, because he was standing here and didn't find any characteristics of the hill in front of him, whether it was the height or the shape of the hill. The green masson pine trees form a large masson pine forest covering all the surrounding hills like a green blanket.

"Yes, there is indeed no difference from a distance." Okita Sakura nodded, and then took the lead to lead everyone to the mountain, and said in her mouth at the same time. "But if you go into the woods, it's easy to see the difference between this hill and the surrounding hills through careful observation."

"——This mountain is different from other mountains. I discovered it when I was young. At that time, some people from the surrounding villages would come to this forest to pick up pine cones to obtain pine nuts when the pine cones were mature. At the same time, they would also look for those hidden in the pine trees Poria cocos at the root. After learning swordsmanship from my master, I have traveled farther than others, so I discovered that this mountain is different from all the surrounding mountains.”

Listening to Okita Sakura's introduction, Lawrence and the others slowly climbed up the hillside stepping on the soft pine needles on the ground. After walking for more than ten minutes, there was the sound of gurgling water in front of them.

"The next road may not be easy to walk, I think that's why I was the only one who found out that there are a lot of centipede grass here." Okita Sakura said and led everyone through a small bush, and then turned around an upper part Flat boulders. In an instant, a valley appeared in front of the four of them, and below the valley was a stream more than three feet wide.

"It's over there." Okita Sakura appeared much more lively when she entered the mountain forest, probably because she recalled the carefree time when she was young. Stepping on the sunken part of the big rock beside her, she jumped up and looked around, then pointed to a five or six meter high cliff on the opposite side of the valley. "I remember that cliff. We're looking for something on the cliff."

Lawrence looked along where her finger was, only to see a white mountain wall appear in front of him. It's no wonder that Sakura Okita came here two or three years ago, but she can still recognize it this time, because the white stone of this cliff looks particularly conspicuous in the surrounding green forest.

The reason why other people don't go there is also very simple. After all, people from the surrounding fishing villages mainly come here to collect some special products such as pine nuts, bark, and resin as a sideline. The relatively safe surrounding forests are not small even if they are only the outer area. They can easily collect what they want, and there is no need to go into the mountains and risk their lives to climb the four or five-story cliffs.

Not to mention that from the heights by the river, you can see that the top of the cliff is just a masson pine forest that is not much different from other places, and from such a distance, those forests may appear smaller than the surrounding ones because of the poor soil on the mountain. The woods have faded a lot. So naturally no one went up.

The terrain here is indeed harsh for ordinary people, but it can't cause too much obstacle for extraordinary people. Soon, several people crossed the river and valley, and then simply climbed up the cliff using ropes.

After Safir went up to the top of the cliff and pulled Lawrence up the small cliff, he found that there was a very flat pine forest above the cliff, but it might be because of the strong wind on the mountain, and there was no land on the ground. Instead of accumulating a thick layer of pine needles like under the mountain, there are many green grasses growing.

"This is the centipede grass." Okita Sakura leaned over and picked a feather-like blade of grass and lifted it up, "I have only seen such a concentration of centipede grass in this place, but I was only on the edge of the cliff back then. After looking at it, I went down, and didn’t look for this place carefully.”

"Of course, there was another reason why I didn't search here that year. It was almost dark when I came up, and a large group of wild quilts kept rushing towards my face. I had no choice but to go down quickly. The pine cone I was looking for."

"Then let's look for this place today." Lawrence looked at the hilltop platform about the size of three or four football fields, "I have a hunch that we will find something that is very important to us here. s things."

Since becoming an official-level warlock, Lawrence felt that his premonition ability was much stronger. It is very likely that this is the ability of Bai Ze to seek good fortune and avoid evil is slowly showing as the blood is awakened little by little. And after climbing the cliff this time, Lawrence sensed that something good was going to happen.

In addition to his intuitive feeling, Lawrence found that standing on the edge of the mountain top had a very good view, and he could see the sea all the time, especially the beach where Lawrence and the others were salvaging those things before. For example, now they can see the flat-bottomed barge leaning against the shore, and a few people are moving the things they salvaged to the boat.

I think back then, if that person couldn't forget the things on the wreck of the ship and wanted to salvage it, and there were patrols near the beach. Then it makes perfect sense to find a spot where you can observe the beach but not the people on the beach.

"I hope what you said is true." Safir raised his hand and patted Lawrence's shoulder, then walked into the woods with everyone. Compared with the forest at the foot of the mountain, the only characteristic of this forest is that because of its higher height and no wind-blocking obstacles around it, the pine needles will be blown away by the mountain wind before they hit the ground. In this way, it is much easier to search for things that may be hidden.

Sure enough, after more than ten minutes, Zhu Yan's voice came from a bush. "I found a strange cave, come and see if it's what we're looking for."

Hearing this, Lawrence and the others who dispersed their search earlier immediately rushed to where Zhu Yan was now. Then I saw Zhu Yan squatting on the ground. In front of him was a stone slab that had just been uncovered, and under the slate was a cave with a diameter of more than one meter.

"This bare stone slab is so conspicuous on the grass, so I stretched my foot over and stepped on this stone slab when I saw it, only to find that the bottom of the stone slab is empty." After everyone gathered around, Zhu Yan said Started the process of finding out that something is wrong here.

"It can be seen that there should be some turf on the top of the stone slab as a camouflage at the earliest, but it is obvious that centipede grass cannot be planted normally on the stone slab. So after a long time, only this is left, which obviously does not match the surrounding environment. Slate."

"Let me see what's under here?" Lawrence said as he took out a stack of human-shaped paper pieces from the interspatial bag and injected them with magic power, then threw the paper pieces into the air.

After these paper people flew up, they came alive under the influence of magic, and then floated into the cave in a row. And Lawrence stood at the edge of the hole directing the paper figurines.

"This place is indeed a bit abnormal." After manipulating the paper figurine into the cave, Lawrence soon discovered something different about this cave. "I saw a broken wooden ladder."

"It's great!" Zhu Yan and Okita Sakura clapped happily, because in such a wilderness, no one else would be free to build a secret base in such a place except for the target they wanted to find.
