After a hundred years of ringing the bell, I became the ancestor of the sect

Chapter 49 Smell
"Manager He, please tell me the details of the situation."

Li Qian took a look at Manager He and said immediately.

"Master Li Wu, I haven't welcomed you yet."

Manager He said quickly.

"No need for that. If we can solve the problem sooner, the mine can start operation sooner."

Li Qian waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, Master Li, please come in, I will tell you the details one by one."

Manager He said.

Naturally, he wanted to resolve the hidden danger of the earth dragon insects as soon as possible.

However, he was unsure about this innate master of the Divine Sword Sect, so he planned to treat him well first.

Unexpectedly, this innate master was even more anxious than him.

He was naturally very happy in his heart.

After entering the house, Manager He took out a newly made map and began to explain the situation of the earth dragons and alien insects.

"Master Li, look. These red marks are where the Earth Dragons devoured the miners. These yellow marks are where they appeared and left traces. And these black marks are where they are suspected to have left traces."

He explained it in great detail.

Li Qian listened carefully but did not speak.

After Manager He finished speaking, he basically had an idea of ​​what was going on.

Moreover, he forced himself to memorize the entire map.

In order to prevent any omissions, he reviewed it several times in his mind.

"Junior Brother Ling, I think some of you have come into direct contact with this Earth Dragon. Do you have any additional thoughts?"

Li Qian looked at Ling Xingfeng who had been silent, and suddenly asked.

"Brother Li, this Earth Dragon is good at drilling into the ground. It has drilled a large number of wormholes in the mine, which are densely packed like a spider web. Therefore, this Earth Dragon can come and go freely, and its vigilance is very high. Since the Earth Dragon appeared, I have only seen it once, and I have never seen it again. It seems to have a special sensing ability to judge threats and know that I can threaten it. If Brother Li wants to kill this Earth Dragon, I am afraid there is only one chance."

Ling Xingfeng said after thinking about it.

"Brother Li, I can smell that the Earth Dragon insect emits a very special smell."

An inner sect disciple of the Divine Sword Sect nearby couldn't help but interrupt.

"Oh, I wonder what your name is, Junior Brother?"

Li Qian looked at the inner disciple and asked with a smile.

"Brother Li, I am Zhang Liao, a registered disciple of Guiyi Peak."

The inner sect disciple said hurriedly.

"Junior Brother Zhang, how do you determine that the smell you smelled was from the Earth Dragon?"

Li Qian nodded and asked.

"Wherever the Earth Dragon has appeared, there will be that strange smell. I asked Senior Brother Ling and the others, but they all said they couldn't smell it. So I don't know if the smell I smelled is real."

Zhang Liao hesitated and said.

His nose has been very sensitive to various smells since he was a child, and he can distinguish different smells from many mixed smells.

"How about this, Junior Brother Zhang, you come with me into the mine."

Li Qian said after thinking for a while.

Then he said to Manager He: "Manager He, prepare a few miners and go into the mine with me."

He needs miners to lure out the earth dragons and alien insects.

Zhang Liao's role is to find areas where earth dragons and alien insects may appear by identifying smells.

"Master Li, please make sure everything is arranged immediately."

Manager He said quickly.

"Brother Li, what about us?"

Ling Xingfeng asked.

"Just wait outside the mine."

Li Qian said.

"Uh, okay."

Ling Xingfeng nodded.

It was already late afternoon.

The weather is not good.

It's a bit stuffy.

At the entrance of a mine, Li Qian, Zhang Liao, and three miners walked in.

The three miners behaved quite well and did not look too scared.

Those who dare to go down the mines are mentally prepared.

Or maybe Manager He had already fed them with the silver.

The mine is quite spacious and is supported by thick wood to prevent collapse.

Special drainage measures were also taken.

Li Qian frowned slightly. If the mine cave collapsed, it would be troublesome.

Although he was an innate warrior, he could not withstand the collapse of the mine.

Although it seems like a simple task, it also involves certain risks.

You may not necessarily encounter risks like mine collapse, but if it does happen, you can only hope for the best.

Fortunately, he had the entire map of the mine memorized in his head.

This map is very complete, even the direction of the latest mine routes is very clear.

That way, there was no chance he could get lost.

Even if there is a collapse, he will be able to run to the nearest exit immediately.

"Has your mine ever collapsed?"

Li Qian suddenly asked.

"My lord, I have collapsed."

One of the miners said quickly.

It really collapsed
This made him more cautious.

"Junior Brother Zhang, can you smell that smell?"

Li Qian forced himself to shake off his inner worries and looked at Zhang Liao again.

“I can’t smell it.”

Zhang Liao shook his head.

"If you smell anything, tell me right away."

Li Qian said.

"Okay, Brother Li."

Zhang Liao nodded.

The five of them moved forward in the mine. It was very quiet along the way, with only the sounds of everyone's breathing and footsteps.

Li Qian has already restrained his aura.

Since the earth dragon insect may have special sensing abilities, the best way is to prevent it from sensing it, or to treat yourself as an ordinary miner.

We walked in the mine for more than half an hour.

Suddenly, Zhang Liao stopped, closed his eyes, and sniffed
"Brother Li, I seem to smell that smell."

"odor?"

Li Qian also tried hard to smell it, but apart from the complex smell unique to the mine, there was no other strange smell.

"Yes, that's the smell I was talking about before."

Zhang Liao said quickly.

"Then try to follow this scent."

Li Qian said.

He did not mobilize his spiritual perception.

After comprehending the sword intent, one will develop a special spiritual perception, which will enable one to sense traces and auras that ordinary people cannot see with their naked eyes.

He was worried that his spiritual perception would alert the earth dragon insects.

"Ah."

Zhang Liao nodded and walked away while sniffing the scent.

He walked slowly at first, but as his sense of the smell became clearer, he walked faster and faster.

Li Qian asked the three miners to follow him closely.

Although he wanted to use the three miners to lure out the Earth Dragon Insects, he would also try his best to protect their personal safety.

And so we walked for nearly half an hour.

Zhang Liao stopped again, walked around the area for a few times, and said to Li Qian in a very affirmative tone: "Brother Li, the smell is the strongest in this area. If it is really the Earth Dragon, it should have appeared recently."

Li Qian nodded and asked Zhang Liao to find the nearest mine exit according to the map and leave.

Otherwise, if Zhang Liao stayed, the earth dragons and alien insects would probably not dare to appear.

So, only Li Qian and three miners were left at the scene.

The scene fell into silence.

Just heavy breathing.

Those were the sounds coming from the three miners, showing their inner tension.

Li Qian just stood there, holding the sword in both hands and closing his eyes.

He concentrated his mind and calmed his breath. Although he had no external mental perception, he was able to listen to everything around him with his hearing.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Suddenly, Li Qian vaguely sensed some movement coming from underground.

It was as if a snake was crawling towards this side quickly.
