Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 219: aims

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

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

"Is there any difference between this mountain and the surrounding mountains?" Saifei sighed after looking at the surrounding mountains after getting off the car.

Lawrence felt that Seifer'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 of the mountain or the shape of the mountain. The lush green masson pine trees formed a large masson pine forest that covered all the surrounding hills like a green blanket.

"Yes, it really doesn't look different from afar." Okita Sakura nodded, and then took the lead and led everyone to the mountain, while speaking. "But if you walk into the woods, you can easily see the difference between this hill and the surrounding hills by careful observation."

"——This mountain is different from other mountains when I discovered it when I was a child. At that time, when the pine cones were mature, some people from the surrounding villages would come to this forest to pick up the pine cones to obtain pine nuts, and they would also look for those hidden in the pine trees. Poria at the root. And after learning swordsmanship with my master, I walked 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 by stepping on the soft pine needles on the ground. After ten minutes of walking, there was a gurgling sound in front of them.

"The next road may not be easy. I think that's why I only discovered that there are a lot of centipede grass here." Okita Sakura said as she walked everyone through a small bush, and then turned around a piece of upper part. Big flat stone. In an instant, a valley appeared in front of the four people, and under the valley was a small stream more than 30% wide.

"It's over there." Okita Sakura appeared a lot more lively when she entered the forest, probably recalling the carefree time when she was young. She stepped on the sunken part of the big rock next to her and jumped up vigorously to look around and then pointed to a five or six meter high cliff across the valley. "I remember the cliff. We were looking for something right on the cliff."

Lawrence followed the place where her fingers looked, and saw a white mountain wall in front of him. No wonder Okita Sakura came here two or three years ago, but this time I can still recognize it, because the white stone of the cliff looks particularly conspicuous in the surrounding green mountain forest.

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

Not to mention that the cliff can be seen from a high place by the river. There is only a masson pine forest that is not much different from other places. It seems that the forests may appear to be better than the surrounding ones because of the poor soil on the mountain. The woods wilted a lot. So naturally no one will go up.

The terrain here is indeed harsh for ordinary people, but it does not cause too much obstacle to the extraordinary. 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. Instead of accumulating a thick layer of pine needles like under the mountain, there are many green grasses.

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

"Of course, there was another reason why I didn't look for it here. The sky was almost dark when I came up, and a large group of wild quilts kept pounding on my face. In desperation, I had no choice but to hurry. After all, there was not much at that time. The pine cone I'm looking for."

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

Since becoming an official-level warlock, Lawrence felt that his hunch ability was much stronger. It is very likely that this is that Bai Ze's ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil is slowly manifesting as the blood is awakened little by little. After climbing the cliff this time, Lawrence felt that something good would happen.

In addition to intuition, Lawrence found that standing on the edge of this mountain had a very good view, and he could always see the seaside, especially when he could clearly see every move on the beach where Lawrence and the others had salvaged them. For example, now they can see the flat-bottomed barge leaning on the shore, and a few people carry the things they had previously salvaged onto the boat.

I want to come back to the old days if the person who was obsessed with the wreckage of the ship wanted to go to salvage, and there was a patrol team near the beach. Then it is very reasonable to find a place where you can observe the beach but not people on the beach.

"I hope what you are saying is true." Syfiel raised his hand and patted Lawrence on the shoulder, then walked into the woods with everyone. Compared with the forest below the mountain, the only characteristic of this forest is that it is relatively high and there are no wind-blocking obstacles around it, so the pine needles will be blown away by the mountain wind before they fall to 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 out of a bush. "I found a strange cave. Come over and see if it's what we were looking for."

Hearing that, Lawrence, who had dispersed the search before, immediately rushed to the place where Zhu Yan was now. As a result, I saw Zhu Yan squatting on the ground. There was a stone slab that had just been uncovered in front of him, and there was a cave with a diameter of more than one meter under the stone slab.

"The grass where this bare stone slab appears is too conspicuous~lightnovelpub.net~ So when I saw it, I stretched out and stepped on the stone slab, and found that the underside of the stone slab was empty." Everyone was surrounded. After coming up, Zhu Yan talked about the process of discovering something 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 clear that centipede grass cannot be planted normally on the stone slab. So after a long time, only this is obviously not compatible with the surrounding environment. Slate."

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

After flying up, these paper men came to life under the action of magic, and then floated into the cave in a row. Lawrence stood by the entrance of the cave and directed the paper men.

"This place is indeed a bit abnormal." After manipulating the paper man into the floating cave, Lawrence soon discovered the unique place of this cave. "I saw a broken wooden ladder."

"Awesome!" Zhu Yan and Okita Sakura happily high-five and congratulate, because in such a wilderness, there should be no other people to build a secret base in such a place except for the target they want to find.
