"I'm not going to stay here next. Su Xiao saw through Dong Bo's careful thinking at a glance, and he just hoped that he could stay and protect them from being attacked by others.

But with Su Xiao's character, how could he not go out and compete with those heavenly pride. After he settled down Guo Sinian and the others, he would go out to find those Tianjiao from various cities and compete for the best.

Nature can't stay here and waste time.

Dong Bo carefully observed the team behind Su Xiao and found that Su Xiao's strength was quite acceptable, and the strength of others was very ordinary, and some people were even inferior to their own side. Looked a little disappointed, and nodded discouragedly.

"But before I leave, I'll leave a formation that will prevent people from the outside world from entering. If you encounter a strong enemy, you will also have time to crush the jade pendant and teleport out from here. Su Xiao said lightly.

Although he will leave, he still has to ensure the safety of Guo Sinian and the others, so he will leave a guardian formation to protect them.

Dong Bo was immediately interested, and hurriedly asked, "How long can the formation last, and how many simultaneous attacks can it resist?"

Su Xiao paused slightly, as if he was having a silent conversation with someone, and only after a moment did he say lightly: "It is enough to last for about twenty days, and it can withstand the simultaneous attack of up to thirteen people at the same time without breaking." ”

He added, "You can rest assured that I should be able to rush back before the formation is exhausted." ”

Dong Bo struggled deeply for a while, and engaged in a fierce battle between heaven and man in the depths of his heart, and finally nodded heavily, "Okay, what I said just now is still valid." ”

At this time, Guo Sinian had already completed the surrounding survey, and was directing Cheng Leshui, Qi Junhao and others to carefully excavate the mine wall.

"Here, here, and here. Be especially careful here, as it is already full of cracks, and if you are not careful, it will collapse. Guo Sinian was holding an ancient book and was scolding Fang Xuan.

Dong Bo looked at him and shook his head with a wry smile, and said with a secret smile: "I'm a nerd again, what can I do with that little bit of knowledge in the book, I won't be able to open any of them at that time." ”

Su Xiao glanced at Dong Bo and saw that he shook his head slightly at Guo Sinian's behavior, and seemed to look down on Guo Sinian's behavior. So he smiled slightly, and asked Dong Bo with a smile: "Brother Tai, do you think that my brother can't open chalcedony?"

Dong Bo hesitated for a moment, and saw that Su Xiao did not mean to blame, so he said: "Although I don't dare to say that I am a master, I have some ability to look at stones and stones. It's not that I look down on this brother, it's that the few places he opened are in the middle of two rock formations, how can there be chalcedony in a place like this. I see that it is better to persuade him, and not to waste his efforts, for there will be no chalcedony in those places. ”

Su Xiao smiled: "Brother Tai, do you dare to bet? I bet that my brother can open at least five pieces of chalcedony." ”

Dong Bo shook his head with a wry smile, "Why bother?"

Su Xiao said with his eyes: "If you win the bet, the chalcedony mined later, you will be sixty percent, and we will be forty percent." If we win the bet, we will be 70% and you will be 30%. Do you dare to bet?"

Su Xiao didn't really care about these resources, but hoped that Guo Sinian would leave a deep impression in the hearts of these people and become the core here. In this way, after they leave, these people will not have other thoughts.

Dong Bo paused for a moment and thought, "This chalcedony is not yet ready to be captured. ”

So he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll bet." Win or lose, I hope my brother will not be angry. ”

Dong Bo means that if you lose, don't be angry, shake your ass and leave.

"It's just some chalcedony, and we're still losing that. Su Xiao smiled faintly, and waited for Guo Sinian and others to take out the multicolored stones hidden in the mine wall and open the chalcedony.

Cheng Leshui and others have mined one of the places that Guo Sinian fancies, and the colorful stone is more than half a person high, exuding a slight colorful light.

"Brother Su, I think it's better to forget the bet just now. Dong Bo still thinks it's not appropriate, in case Su Xiao is angry or deliberately makes a black hand, his side will be in trouble.

"Don't you dare, afraid of opening the chalcedony and losing?" Su Xiao smiled playfully.

Dong Bo was a little angry, but it was not easy to come out, and he thought: "Give you a step down, you won't go down." Okay, don't cry when the time comes. ”

But after thinking about it again, he felt that he still couldn't offend Su Xiao, and said in his heart: "When he loses, I won't ask for four or six points, just five or five points, and save him some face." ”

In Dong Bo's view, although the colorful stone mined by Guo Sinian and others is large, there are many impurities, and it is impossible to open chalcedony.

As we all know, chalcedony only exists in pure multicolored stones, and it is difficult to give birth to chalcedony with such mottled impure multicolored stones.

"Is it crazy? How can this kind of impure multicolored stone produce multicolored chalcedony?" Dong Bo's companion on the other side looked at Guo Sinian and the others with disdain, a picture of a city person looking at a country person.

"A group of novices, it is estimated that this is the first time they have mined multicolored stones, and they actually picked such a stone with a lot of impurities. It's strange that chalcedony can be opened. ”

"Look at their confident looks, they won't be able to open when the time comes, let's see what kind of expressions they will have. ”

The people on Dong Bo's side are not optimistic about Guo Sinian and the others, after all, they can be regarded as having a little experience in quarrying, and they naturally have their eyes above the top, and they can't wait to rush up and smash this multicolored stone with a lot of impurities for them.

However, Guo Sinian and the others did not immediately cut the half-human-high multicolored stone, but continued to mine several other multicolored stones, and only after mining the few places that Guo Sinian looked at, did they officially prepare to cut the stone.

One piece is the size of a human head, one is the size of a millstone, one is the thickness of a stump, and one is the size of an adult. Together with the half-human-high multicolored stone from before, there are five pieces in total. But the five pieces are a little unsightly, and the colorful brilliance is obscured and blocked by one or more layers of rocks, and there is no such charm.

"To be able to mine five pieces of waste rock in a row, they are also good enough. ”

"Quarrying requires experience, and mining like them is a delay. ”

"Scattered, scattered, what did I think, five waste stones. It would be nice to be able to extract one chalcedony from these five waste rocks. “

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and almost no one was optimistic about these five multicolored stones.

Guo Sinian also seems to be a little lacking in confidence, after all, he is just based on what he said in the ancient books, and he is completely stubborn, if he really can't open it, it will be too embarrassing.

"Be confident, and I'll trust you. Su Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Guo Sinian nodded, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and shouted, "Cut stones." ”

This stone cutting is also a science, but it can't be like Su Xiao did before, punch it over and take out the chalcedony hidden inside. Guo Sinian personally depicted the texture on several multicolored stones, and was about to ask Cheng Leshui to cut the stones by hand.

Su Xiao suddenly stopped him: "Look at whether it's a little crooked here, this line should be here." ”

Guo Sinian hurriedly stepped forward, checked carefully, and if the painting was really crooked, he quickly corrected it, and carefully checked the rest of the pieces, and then handed it over to Cheng Leshui to cut the stone with confidence.

"Brother Su, do you also have research on this cut stone?" Dong Bo asked with some curiosity, he just saw a few strokes drawn by Su Xiao, and they completely fell into the hidden texture of the stone.

Ordinary people may think it's nothing, but it's just a little crooked, but in the eyes of their insiders, it's completely different. A small angle may directly cause the treasure inside the stone to be incomplete, and the value will plummet by several digits.

Although this method of observing the texture of the stone is the basic skill of the stone cutter, it is also the most critical place and the most difficult place to practice. Even a quarryman like him could not guarantee that he would be able to draw the inner texture of the stone perfectly.

Su Xiao shook his head and explained to him, "I haven't done any research, I just read it in a book. Today, I am ugly in front of Brother Dong. ”

Where did Su Xiao read the ancient books about quarrying, all relying on his pair of gods and demons to see a few stones thoroughly.

"Which ancient book, can Brother Su have such a profound insight into stone cutting after reading it!" Dong Bo asked curiously, wanting to find that ancient book after going back and study it carefully.

Su Xiao smiled and said nothing.

Dong Bo scratched his heart with a hundred claws.

At the same time, Cheng Leshui had already swung his sword and kept cutting on one of the multicolored stones the thickness of a tree stump. Every time the sword goes down, a piece of stone falls to the ground.

The sword is getting faster and faster, and more and more stone chips are falling off.

With the continuous shedding of stone chips, the impurities that were originally attached to or invaded the multicolored stone were peeled off little by little, and gradually became a little bright.

The multicolored stone of the stump has been cut to the thickness of an arm, and the brilliance on it is getting brighter and brighter. From a messy waste stone gradually turned into a pure multicolored stone.

Everyone looked at the stone that they had judged to be a waste stone in amazement.

"It feels like it's the brightest and purest multicolored stone I've ever produced!"

"There's definitely chalcedony in this stone. ”

"Damn, they were bumped into by their blind cat and hit a dead mouse. Good luck. ”

Everyone talked about it, and there were many people who died unrepentantly, thinking that it was just Su Xiao's luck, and it was not true.

With Cheng Leshui's sword slashing, the stone skin of the multicolored stone was finally completely peeled off, revealing the stone core hidden deep in it - multicolored chalcedony.

Everyone gasped, this cut out of the chalcedony is round and smooth, crystal clear, and shining, it is definitely the best chalcedony, which can be sold at a sky-high price.

"It's definitely going to be bumped into, if you have the ability to open another one, I don't believe that you can have such good luck in the next one. ”

"That's right, that's right, I bet the next one will be scrapped. ”

Someone said without stubble, saying that he wanted Su Xiao and them to open another one.

The first piece of chalcedony was opened, and Guo Sinian suddenly came to confidence, and personally stepped forward with a knife to cut the second piece of multicolored stone the size of a human head.

This multicolored stone is also the one with the best texture and the least impurities among the five stones, and he is most confident that he will open a piece of chalcedony.

Silently came to the stone, forced a breath, and swung the knife down.
