Half a month later.

An off-road vehicle, driving unhurriedly on the mountain road.

Cheng Zhi wore a baseball cap and sunglasses, held a map, and studied it carefully, this is not an ordinary topographic map, but a map of mineral deposits, on which large and small mineral deposits are marked.

"Fat brother turn left and go up this small ridge, this is the most secret mining area, it should be a jade mine, sir, let's go here first, if you can, look for it here." ”

Zhou Yi nodded, it's good to leave such a thing to Cheng Zhi.

In the past few days, they have turned around several places, not to mention that there is really a place where they can sense the spirit stone, but it is too deep, and it can't be dug down in a short time, even if the fat man tries it, it will be beyond the reach of the whip.

So I started searching in this area, and I also wanted to step on it.

After all, there are too many mines here, and there is an endless stream of Chinese who come to gamble on stones, and people die every day in such a place, and profit is the biggest catalyst.

Zhou Yi stretched his waist, this action made Sophia wake up instantly, since the last time Sophia bathed Zhou Yi, Sophia has not left an inch.

Although Zhou Yi didn't explain, let alone say what happened, Sophia still felt the aura of danger, and either rested in Zhou Yi's room, or lived on the opposite side, and didn't make any other moves, Zhou Yi naturally didn't stop it.

Seeing that Zhou Yi was awake, she handed Zhou Yi a bottle of water.

Although it was only late April, it was already very hot, and in order to see the situation of the mine, the windows of the car were rolled down, and the heat was blowing in the face.

Holding binoculars, the four of them looked at the mine in the valley.

There are some simple houses on the edge, there are wooden tunnels in the middle, and some old equipment is piled up under the minecarts, some of which are covered with tarpaulins, and those tarpaulins are also broken, and the rust on the machines is very obvious.

However, it is a little strange that no one has seen a huge mining area.

Zhou Yi closed his eyes slightly and let go of his perception, there was no one in the house, in the pit and around him, but there seemed to be a trace of warmth in the pit and Zhou Yi opened his eyes instantly.

Dropped the telescope on the seat and got out of the car.

"Go down and see, this is supposed to be an abandoned mine, I didn't find anyone. ”

Sophia followed, she knew Zhou Yi's perception ability best, and she didn't notice that there were people around, and the dust and rust on those utensils were not formed in a short period of time.

"It's not a short time to give up here, and everything is rusty. ”

The four of them got out of the car and walked quickly to the outside of the tunnel, where all kinds of garbage were thrown in the simple room, and there was also thick dust on the ground, as well as traces of excrement.

Cheng Zhi opened his backpack, put on his headlamp, and wore the walkie-talkie and various equipment neatly, he was the most experienced one, after all, he was from the Department of Geology, and he had also looked for spirit stones many times, and these equipment were all prepared by him.

Zhou Yi and the others followed suit, and the four of them began to walk towards the bottom of the pit, and the more they walked down, the more they could feel the warmth below.

Looking at the three people, Zhou Yi's eyes fell on Cheng Zhi in front of him.

"Cheng Zhi, do you feel the spirit stone?"

Cheng Zhi shook his head slightly, frowning, looking a little depressed.

"I've been sensing a bit of the surroundings for the past few days, but it's too deep for us to reach, and this location seems to be a little closer to the place found in the col next door, and I want to see if the tunnel is going in that direction, if we can dig a section. ”

Zhou Yi nodded, no nonsense.

Cheng Zhi didn't feel it, so what is the warm feeling below?

There is no minecart, just walking on foot, which is not fast, and Cheng Zhi also knocks down a stone from time to time to check, so the speed of travel is even slower.

After walking and stopping like this for almost two hours, they came to the bottom of the tunnel, looked up, and saw that there were two mines on the left and right, and the tracks on the ground were still there, and they were obviously all used.

Cheng Zhi turned to look at Zhou Yi.

"Which direction shall we go, sir?"

Zhou Yi looked at it, and he didn't look close in either direction, at least as far as his eyes could see, and he couldn't see the end at all.

"You and the fat man go to the north side, which is close to the pit of the opposite mining area, and Sophia and I go to the south side, so that we can save some incidents, since we give up here, it is estimated that the output of jade and jadeite is very small. ”

Cheng Zhi nodded, picked up a stone, and showed it to the three of them.

"The ore here is indeed not of good quality, and the composition is more complex, but I think the more places like this, the easier it is to find spirit stones, after all, gold mines were like this before, and the older the old pits, the more I feel the strong attraction. ”

The fat man glanced at Cheng Zhi, and then looked at Zhou Yi, it seemed that Cheng Zhi had something to say, and Zhou Yi completely understood that this feeling of being excluded made him a little uncomfortable, and the status of the senior brother was not guaranteed!

"What are you talking about, have you found other spirit stones in the original world?"

Cheng Zhi was speechless all of a sudden, just glanced at Zhou Yi and put his backpack on his back.

Zhou Yi smiled, this world is isolated now, and there are no outsiders in a few of them, this can still be said, after all, they have to go to that world in the future, and sooner or later they will find a way to get the inventory back.

"The spirit stone we handed over in the 2000 world is the smallest one, and there are more than thirty spirit stones found by Cheng Zhi, and we are all hiding in a secret place.

That place, similar to the fat man's bomb shelter, can avoid the refresh of the world, and then we will have the opportunity to get it back, after all, there was no storage function before, and I didn't know much about Sophia at that time, so I still hid it. ”

Sophia was not unhappy and smiled at Zhou Yi.

"I don't dare to say it, after all, it's too appalling, more than thirty spirit stones, if the one given to Waldner is still small, I don't dare to imagine what a lot of wealth this is. ”

The fat man's little eyes were shining, he heard Zhou Yi say that only if he upgraded, they would have the opportunity to go further, and when they heard this amount of reserves, they couldn't close their mouths.

"I didn't expect it, Cheng Zhi, you can really hide something in your heart, don't worry, boss, I must keep my mouth shut, let's not delay, I can see that Cheng Zhi's search is absolutely powerful, let's hurry to the south to find it, in case this world also finds more than 30 pieces, it is not a crime in vain." ”

Zhou Yi didn't want to say expectations, such a thing is hard to find, who can guarantee that it will be found, besides, this is a jade mine, or an abandoned mining area, I don't know if I can find it.

"Okay, just imagine it, hurry up and start acting, although there is no one here, let's move faster, and contact the walkie-talkie if there is a problem. ”

The fat man shrunk his neck.

This wave of licking didn't go in the right direction, but think about it, how can you let yourself find spirit stones in every world, more than thirty at a time, don't collapse the world.

The four of them were divided into two groups, the fat man followed Cheng Zhi, and Zhou Yi and Sophia walked towards the south side of the tunnel.

After not far, the walls of the pit began to flow down the walls, and the water flowed down the edge, towards the depths of the tunnel, and the further you went, the more water accumulated on the ground, until it was knee-high.

Sophia stopped, saw that Zhou Yi was still walking forward, and asked in a low voice:

"Are we still going in? Looking at this place, it seems that it is closed because of the water permeability. ”

Zhou Yi has been sticking to the wall, his hand touching the wall, and when he walked to this position, the warmth was getting stronger and stronger.

Looking ahead, where the headlights can shine, it is all water, and there should be a rapid descent ramp ahead.

"You wait where you are, I'll go and see first, and if it's dangerous, I'll retreat, I want to see what the front is like. ”

Sophia nodded, the worry on her face undiminished.

"Zhou Yi, you have to be careful, we don't have a map here, if the tunnel is too long, let's hurry back." ”

Zhou Yi smiled at Sophia, he knew in his heart that no matter how powerful the spirit stone was, it was not important to die, and he couldn't die for the spirit stone.

"Okay, wait for me here. ”
