Chapter 487: Pure manual excavation of jade mines
Li Qingyun followed the route in his memory, and arrived at the nameless hill very easily, in the crack at the top of the mountain, he could still see a lot of wandering poisonous snakes, but there were only more than 100 of them, which was much smaller than the scene of 10,000 snakes gathered at the beginning, and Li Qingyun was not afraid of these poisonous snakes at all.
Taking out the most primitive mining tools such as iron picks and hammers from the small space, Li Qingyun tried to knock a few times on the cracks, but because of his great strength, he didn't have too much effort, so he knocked down a large piece of stone.
The gravel fell down the crack, startling the poisonous snakes at the bottom of the crack, tilting their heads one by one, staring viciously at the glimmer of light at the entrance of the cave.
Li Qingyun carefully examined these gravel stones, but did not find Kunlun jade, it seems that the jade source is still below. So he no longer hesitated, picked up a big hammer or pickaxe, swung it together, and after half an hour, a small pit more than a person high had been dug.
Li Qingyun was also so tired that his head was covered with sweat, and he opened the mine by hand, it was really not a human thing, he, a person who took the essence of space spring water as a tea, his body had been transformed like a monster, and he would still be so tired that his whole body was weak and his arms were numb.
"No, it's more tiring than fighting people for 300 rounds, this broken stone is too hard. Li Qingyun tried to use True Qi on the iron pickaxe, and suddenly, a huge gap was indeed blasted out, but the iron pickaxe was also deformed and could not be used at all.
Li Qingyun threw the iron pickaxe angrily, and said depressedly: "It seems that we have to build a professional mining equipment, otherwise I won't be able to dig a few pieces of jade just by being exhausted." ”
That being said, after Li Qingyun drank two glasses of spring water essence, his body felt very good, and his exhausted strength returned, except for some soreness in his muscles, other negative states were swept away.
Swing the hammer and work again. I don't know how many times I waved it, until I saw a white gravel splashing, Li Qingyun suddenly stopped, picked up a few pieces of white gravel, and was immediately happy. The old wound on his left hand was filled with the joy of slight movement. It proves that this is a genuine Kunlun jade, and the color is white and greasy, oily and lovely, and the quality is very high.
Only then did I dig more than two meters deep, and the jade came out, and as soon as it came out, I picked up the gravel under my feet, and the ground in front of me was almost all white Kunlun jade. Brushing the debris on the ground with his hand, there was a strong tremor of excitement from the old wound on his left hand. It shows that the small space likes the jade here very much, and it is even stronger than the previous Hetian jade.
Li Qingyun laughed loudly, threw away several vipers that shook over with the power of small space, picked up the giant hammer again, and smashed the entire piece of jade under his feet into pieces. Without any hesitation, the fragments were put into a small space.
His spirit body entered the small space at the same time, and he could see that the jade fragment that had just been collected was falling to the ground. It was then assimilated and absorbed by a strange force, and disappeared to the surface at a speed visible to the naked eye. Subsequently. The space trembled slightly, and the gray sky actually gave birth to a cloud, which made the lifeless air suddenly appear smart.
Li Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "There are mountains, water, sun, and clouds? Could it be that with the upgrade, something else will appear?"
The two Hai Dongqing had already been taken back into the small space by him, and at this time, he was also curious to look at the clouds that suddenly appeared in the sky, full of doubts and curiosity, and spread his wings and flew up to the clouds. With huge wings, the newly appeared clouds are scattered and divided into several small clouds.
It's a pity that after the two Haidongqing returned to their nest on the top of the mountain, the broken clouds gathered again and again, forming a huge white cloud, floating in the sky, sometimes appearing on the top of the mountain, sometimes under the small sun, blocking the sun.
Li Qingyun didn't know whether it was good or bad, but he obviously saw the changes in the small space, this huge piece of Kunlun jade, the effect was surprisingly good, and it was even better than the best jade that was thrown into it before.
Suppressing his excitement, he soon returned to the real world and used the most rudimentary tools to mine jade again. The viper was disturbed by him, and from time to time crawled over and attacked him angrily.
Li Qingyun was so annoyed that he first killed a few of them, and with the power of space, he often died extremely tragically when he grabbed and threw them. However, these poisonous snakes can't seem to be killed, and if you kill a few more, there will always be a few more.
Li Qingyun was angry, and decided to raise poisonous snakes in a small space, catch one when he saw them, and then receive them in a snake cage to feed, and use them to stew snake soup in the future.
However, snake cages do not mean that there are them, they have to be specially ordered from others. Li Qingyun wondered if he could open up a snake pit in a small space with the strange power of the space owner to raise snakes. Then use a fine mesh fence to prevent the poisonous snake from escaping. Anyway, in this small space, he is not going to bring living people in, his spirit body is in the small space, even if the poisonous snake escapes, he is not afraid of being attacked by the poisonous snake.
Just do it, Li Qingyun found a safe place and sprinkled a circle of snake powder, so as not to pay attention to the danger outside when entering the small space.
After completing the insurance, his spirit body entered the small space, and instantly flew to the other side of the hill, standing above the cemetery, looking at the land.
The cemetery is a place where the dead are buried, and the dead here are all killed by Li Qingyun himself, and they are friends and enemies. On the surface of the tomb, there are countless wildflowers, colorful and unusually beautiful. On the left is a vegetable patch with a variety of vegetables for your family to eat.
There are fruit trees planted on the right, but the gap is a little bigger, Li Qingyun thought about it, and opened a snake pit between the cemetery and the fruit forest. Li Qingyun flew around here, carefully observed the surface, and found that when the small space expanded, he automatically brought the ginseng that was originally planted together here.
In this long and narrow area, there are about seven ginseng plants, three Dendrobium officinale plants, and one Polygonum multiflorum plant. Anyway, there are enough elixirs in the small space now, and it is not a matter of digging up these elixirs.
Li Qingyun thought about it, so he dug up these elixirs with roots and soil, and temporarily moved them to the side of the wine cellar, where there was still some land, which was planted for the time being. If someone needs elixirs, they can always dig them up again.
After completing the preliminary preparations, Li Qingyun used his mind and huge strength to stretch out his hand and draw a narrow soil pit more than ten meters deep at the edge of the cemetery.
The simple process was beyond Li Qingyun's imagination, and it seemed that as soon as his mind moved, a long and narrow pit appeared in front of him. Li Qingyun was stunned, and seemed to have a new understanding of the power of the owner of the small space.
Whatever you want, what you want to do, it's like the treatment of the creator god. However, the current small space is not perfect, his strength is too weak, and many things are vaguely predicted, but he can't think clearly for a while.
After digging out this long and narrow pit, Li Qingyun made the pit wall smooth again, not to mention that the poisonous snake wanted to climb up, and it was difficult for even the spider to climb up.
After doing this, Li Qingyun was very satisfied with the shape of the snake pit, and immediately went out of the small space, and collected all the hundreds of poisonous snakes in the cracks of the cave into the small space. At the moment when he was put into the small space, he thought of the location of the snake pit, and then followed into the small space, and saw that all of these poisonous snakes had fallen into the snake pit, and none of them had crossed the line.
"Hmm, it turns out that the power of small space can still be used in this way. Li Qingyun thought thoughtfully, looked at the poisonous snakes struggling at the bottom of the pit, and said casually, "These snakes can't climb out of this snake pit." ”
I don't know if this sentence has any effect, Li Qingyun can only wait for it to be verified later.
With this snake pit, Li Qingyun's digging speed was significantly accelerated, and when there were troublesome poisonous snakes, Li Qingyun directly put them into a small space with a thought, and went straight to the snake pit, and there was no need to enter the small space to operate at all.
Before dark, Li Qingyun dug up more than a dozen pieces of Kunlun jade ore the size of a grinding plate, wrapped it with a soft cloth, and put it into a small space. Because he doesn't know how much spiritual material he needs to maintain every day after the small space is upgraded, he doesn't dare to upgrade rashly, and he will upgrade all at once when he has saved enough jade.
A small tent was set up on the top of the mountain, a pot was set up, and a pot of snake soup was boiled. Then take out the bamboo shoots and dried radish, as well as the beef in sauce, and put together a cold cut, with snake soup to drink.
After being tired all day, this pot of snake soup was actually drunk by him alone, and the side dishes in front of him also bottomed out at the same time, and he didn't seem to quench his hunger, so he picked a melon and two tomatoes from the small space, and was thinking about tomorrow's mining work while eating.
It is true that Kunlun jade can be dug out by digging with hand tools, but as the jade mine goes deeper, manual excavation will definitely become more and more difficult, and formal excavation tools must be used. There is no internet access here, and his mobile phone only has a single signal, so he can't find out what tools to use.
After thinking about it, it is better to go down the mountain tomorrow, and find the right digging tools to get a large amount of Kunlun jade faster.
As for the snake pit, there are too few poisonous snakes in it. So Li Qingyun smiled playfully, took out the wrapped solar meteorite from the small space, unwrapped the outer package, and threw it in the pit.
Then he went back to his tent and slept and didn't care about anything. When the day dawned, when I looked over, there were already thousands of poisonous snakes gathered inside, centered on the solar meteorite, as if they were enjoying themselves, entrenched in their bodies, and hissing from time to time.
Li Qingyun laughed, feeling that the best snake trapping bait was the sun meteorite, and used the power of the small space to envelop this pit in an instant, moving all the poisonous snakes here into the snake pit in the small space. The solar meteorite, wrapped in a soft cloth, is put back into the cellar again.
There was no one here, Li Qingyun let go of his speed, ran with all his might, and it only took half a day to reach the fork in the road. I wanted to rest for a while before hurrying, but I heard a few shotgun shots in the valley below.
The sound of the shotgun was a little dull, and Li Qingyun knew what kind of gun it was as soon as he heard it. Actually used a double-barreled shotgun, which should only be used to fight large beasts, ordinary pheasants and hares, ordinary five or seven consecutive rounds are enough.
What is surprising is that the sound of the shotgun is endless, and after the bang, there is another thump from another direction, and there is a faint angry shouting and scolding, as if they are firing at each other.
Hearing this, Li Qingyun frowned, this tourist town has just become famous in the country, and if there is a shootout and a murder, it will be troublesome. So he let go of his pace and ran faster toward the valley to see what was happening. (To be continued......) R1292
