"We're here, and we're supposed to be here. ”

Qing Youcai spread out the topographic map in his hand, pointed to the two peaks in front of him and said, "These two peaks are trending north-south, and the range is relatively large.

Prospecting together is too time-consuming, so I recommend splitting the prospects. ”

Meng Tianxu nodded: "Then go separately to prospect."

In this way, you and I stand on the top of the mountain and station, and if someone is in trouble, they will go to the sky, and you and I will rescue in time after seeing it. ”

Qing Youcai put away the topographic map and jumped off the carriage: "This method will work, I will arrange it now." ”

After nearly ten days of trekking, the Liesha treasure hunting team finally arrived at the location of the red pomegranate mine, and the next step was to explore the ore veins and dig ore.

Zheng Qiu was lying in the car with a black cloth bag over his eyes, and was snoring and dozing.

He was holding a backpack in his arms, and at this time the backpack had been deflated by a small half, and the heaven and earth crystals in it had been eaten by a lot of small green worms, and there were nearly a thousand of them.

"Zheng Qiu, Zheng Qiu, don't sleep. ”

A treasure hunter shook him awake, "You talk to yourself excitedly every night, and you pretend to be dead and sleep during the day, can't you be normal?"

Zheng Qiu stuck out his tongue and thought: "It's not that the little green worm clamored to see the stars every day, and he muttered in his mind in the middle of the night, and he really didn't know when his hobby came out." ”

Seeing that Zheng Qiu didn't speak, the team member handed over the hoe in his hand: "Here, we have arrived at the location of the red pomegranate mine, and now we have to find ore veins and dig stones."

Captain Meng and Old Man Qing are guarding the top of the mountain, and if you are in trouble, cheer up the heavens, and they will come immediately when they see them. ”

Zheng Qiu took the hoe and asked, "Then where do I go to prospect for minerals?"

"The two mountains are tens of thousands of feet in circumference, such a big place, you can explore wherever you want, depending on your luck. ”

Zheng Qiu tidied up his clothes, jumped out of the carriage with his backpack on his back, raised the hoe in his hand and said, "Look at it, I will definitely be the first to find the ore vein." ”

Leaving the convoy, Zheng Qiu stepped on the yellow sand and entered the mountain, the stone mountain in front of him was no different from what he saw on the road, bare and did not grow a single grass.

He boasted about Haikou just now, but he was dumbfounded when he really entered the mountain, he had no experience in prospecting at all, and he didn't know how to find this vein.

Glancing at the hoe in his hand, he swung it and knocked it on the ground, thinking: "Prospecting should be a hoe stone, see if there is any ore." ”

Dangdang, Dangdang, every time Zheng Qiu took two steps, he raised his hoe and knocked it on the ground, and if he didn't see a special color, he continued to walk forward.

Just knocked all the way and walked all the way, most of the day passed, and Zheng Qiu had already entered the depths of the mountain peak.

The strange rocks here are craggy, and the road surface has long since disappeared, so he has to use his hoe to keep picking up the rubble to leave a place for himself to stay.

Bang, just as he climbed a raised boulder and patted the dust of his clothes, a thin voice sounded in his head, it was a small green worm.

"Boss, boss, I woke up and I have delicious candy. ”

Zheng Qiu touched the little Jiao tattoo on his neck, put down his backpack, and prepared to take out the Heaven and Earth Crystal from it and feed it to eat.

"Boss, it's candy in the mountains, not in your bag. ”

Hearing the words of the little green worm, Zheng Qiu was confused, the candy that the little green worm said was the heaven and earth crystal, but how could there be a heaven and earth crystal in the barren mountain.

So he asked, "Are you mistaken? How can there be money in the mountains? ”

The little green worm suddenly appeared, flicked its tail and scratched Zheng Qiu's nose, and then turned into a tattoo again.

It said angrily: "The boss is stupid, the little green worm can't be wrong, there are candy in the mountains." ”

"Ahh

Zheng Qiu's nose itched from it and sneezed violently. Looking at the appearance of the little green worm, can you really pick up money in this barren mountain?

He decided to let the little green worm show the way: "Eh, where are those candies you said?"

"Go to the left...... Turn right...... Climb up here...... Turn over the rocks and turn left again......"

Zheng Qiu followed the path pointed out by the little green worm and climbed up and down the slope overgrown with rocks.

After climbing like this for half an hour, he found that some of the locations he had come to by himself, and it seemed that he was going around in circles.

He was a little annoyed and asked, "Do you know where the Heaven and Earth Crystal is?" I have already touched this stone three or four times in front of me. ”

"The ......"

The little green worm looked a little embarrassed, "Boss, I can smell the location of the candy, but I haven't found the way yet, let me try again, this time it must be right." ”

Zheng Qiu rubbed his temples, it turned out that the little green worm couldn't find the way and was blind.

Forget it, believe it again!

After going around the hillside for a while, the little green worm suddenly stopped Zheng Qiu and turned his head to look to the right.

"Boss, I feel that the candy is in the mountains, there are cracks here, and the smell is very strong. ”

According to the words of the little green worm, Zheng Qiu posted it on the stone wall to check, and there was a black gap between the chaotic layered rocks.

He shouted at the gap, and a faint echo came a moment later, judging that there should be a cave inside the gap.

"I hope you're right, I'll go in and have a look. ”

Zheng Qiu rubbed his hands and grabbed the hoe, smashed the rocks outside, and then pulled the gravel to both sides.

There are many rocks at the entrance of the cave, and it is estimated that they fell from the top of the mountain.

He didn't have that much effort to clear all the rocks, so he just knocked open a small hole two feet wide, just enough to get himself into.

He threw his backpack and hoe into the hole, bent down himself, and cautiously entered it.

At the same time, it activates the energy and ignites a bright flame of light in the palm of the hand.

"It's a cave!"

The cave in front of him was a man tall and four feet wide, and Zheng Qiu touched the rock on the cave wall and found that there were many small pits and cracks on it, which were the result of human excavation.

The little green worm regained its shape, raised its claws and scratched Zheng Qiu's ears: "Boss, go in and take a look, the candy is inside." ”

Zheng Qiu didn't move his footsteps, but asked uneasily: "You can smell the candy, can you smell if there is any living thing in it?"

The little green worm closed his eyes, stretched out his head and sniffed hard, and quickly replied, "No, there are only two of us in this cave." ”

Zheng Qiu was relieved, put on his backpack, picked up his hoe, and walked towards the depths of the cave with a flame of light.

The structure of the cave is very simple, just a passage pen to the bottom, and there is a stone chamber at the end of the passage, which is not as big as the cellar of Zheng Qiu's fortune house.

However, there are a lot of things in the stone room, and there are more than a dozen iron boxes in a rough number, and the boxes are full of thick rust, which should be old.

In addition to the chest, there are a lot of miscellaneous items piled up in the stone room, furs, ores, wood, blades of grass, and it seems that they are various materials.

Zheng Qiu immediately understood the purpose of the stone chamber.

It's a hidden warehouse to store things, but the owner of the warehouse doesn't know what happened and hasn't come back.

The little green worm lying on his shoulder suddenly floated into the air, looked around, and then landed on one of the iron boxes, flicking his little tail and screaming.
