Chapter Seventy-Seven: Ice Crystals
After the battle, Zheng Jing and Xiao Lin were warmly invited back to their place of residence by the old patriarch to rest for one night, and then the next morning, Zheng Jing pushed open the door and there were people waiting here.
"Distinguished guest, the patriarch asked us to take you to get the Divine Monument, please come with me."
Zheng Jing looked at the unfamiliar faces in front of him and asked suspiciously, "Where is Lieyun?" ”
"Brother Yun, he's recuperating from his injuries, and he can't get out of bed yet."
Zheng Jing didn't care, and nodded: "Then let's go." ”
Didn't let Xiao Lin Imperial Sword carry them, Zheng Jing followed these people and walked down the mountain, anyway, even if he got the cultivation technique immediately, he didn't send energy back to the earth, he would definitely stay here for a few days.
Of course, if Zheng Jing really wanted to go back, it would be enough to take out a little bit of the Sage Stone in the Qiankun bag to exchange it for teleportation energy, but when he mentioned it, Zheng Jing felt very awkward in his heart, the Sage Stone is made of human souls, if the Sage Stone is handed over to the terminal to exchange for teleportation energy, isn't it killing people for this cold terminal and center? What is this? So Zheng Jingji would not do such a thing.
After making additional investment in Liu Xu, he can now provide Zheng Jing with 20 points of transmission energy every day, and it won't take long for him to go back with enough energy at such a speed.
On the way down the mountain, Zheng Jing saw a lot of people moving down the mountain with large bags and small bags, after yesterday's decisive battle with the orcs, the victorious human warriors took advantage of the victory to pursue and rushed directly to the small city of the half-orc tribe, with the hot weapons in their hands, they defeated the remaining half-orcs without any suspense and took control of the small city.
When passing through that small city, Zheng Jing saw that many orcs whose hands and feet were tied with ropes were coming out of the earthen house where they lived, giving up their homes to the humans who had migrated here, and then some human warriors were pointing guns at them to help humans carry goods, and the slightest complaint was a burst of punches and kicks.
Oppression and enslavement, this is something that will never disappear in a society composed of intelligent life, Zheng Jing did not intervene to do meaningless things, this is not the earth after all, and he cannot have special feelings for the people here. Xiao Lin didn't care about it, but she lowered her head hard, as if she didn't let herself see these injustices happening around her, and her two little hands clenched.
The place where the monument is buried is a mine on the edge of the city, this place was the home of human habitation, after being conquered by the orcs and the temple was destroyed, although they snatched out the monument, they had no way to transport it, they could only hide here and wait for the opportunity to dig it later, but they didn't expect that when they finally waited for this day, all the people of these monuments became Zheng Jing.
The old patriarch had already arranged everything, and immediately after Zheng Jing came, a team of people with excavation tools entered an abandoned pit in this mine, Zheng Jing originally wanted to follow up, but was suddenly attracted by the scene in front of him.
"What's going on with those people?"
Walking in front of Zheng Jing was a group of yellow-faced and thin-skinned people, covered in dirt as if they had just been rescued from the black coal kiln by the policeman's uncle, but in fact...... It seems that this is the case.
"Those people were captured here by Halbara, and those captured in the battle with the orcs were brought here." The person who brought Zheng Jing here explained to him.
"You mean all?" Zheng Jing raised his spirit, what is the most important thing for a good businessman? It's about seizing business opportunities from the smallest details.
With so many people, can't you let them do farm work or let them be targets for half-orc warriors to practice their guns? Why did Halbara get all the captives to this mine? What are the minerals that make Halbara so important? Anyway, it can't be an ordinary iron mine, haven't you seen that most of those orc tribes are still using stone tools?
Zheng Jing has basically figured out the conditions here in the two days of this world, this is a barren world, precious furs, gems, and minerals can not be found. Zheng Jing felt that if he was replaced with Halbara, he would not be able to find anything to sell to other outside merchants when he was limited to the task of completing the first transaction within 24 hours.
But the fact is that Halbara has become a plane merchant, and he is quite a good mixer, considering the irritating attitude of the wild man when he talks to him, why are there so many plane merchants trading with him? Obviously, he must have some kind of precious object in his hands.
"Can you show me the minerals that are produced here?" Zheng Jing pretended to be casual and said to the person who brought him.
"Of course, well, those are the ones dug up here." The man said, pointing to a funnel-shaped container next to him.
Zheng Jing stepped forward, this container contained some black and soft texture of the mixture of earth and stone, Zheng Jing put his hand in it and stirred it, suddenly felt his fingers touch a cold object, quickly grabbed the thing, and fished it up.
There was a water tank next to this container, Zheng Jing scooped a scoop of water to rinse the soil off his hands, opened his hands, and held a transparent object with a regular diamond shape in the palm of his hand.
Although this spar is transparent, the texture is different from that of a diamond, and it is not like a crystal, the most important thing is that this little gadget, which is not even the size of a fingernail, has been exuding a trace of cold air to the outside world, Zheng Jing held this thing in his hand for a long time and couldn't help but want to throw it out quickly.
What is certain is that there is no analogue substance on Earth for this strange hedron.
The person on the side pouted when he saw this transparent spar: "It's this kind of thing, it can't be melted with fire, it can't be used to forge weapons, and it can't build a house if it's so big, I really don't know what the use of those beasts is for digging these things." ”
Zheng Jing couldn't figure out what the use of this thing was, so he asked in his head, "Terminal, identify what this thing is in my hand?" ”
The terminal quickly replied: "Ice crystals, quality superior." ”
"And then?"
The terminal was silent, which made Zheng Jing very depressed, if this thing could be converted into a teleportation energy terminal, he would definitely be reminded of it, but the terminal didn't, which means that this thing is not used for this. It was still completely unknown what the thing called the Ice Crystal could be used for, but there were all indications that it should be a good thing, and even the terminal could tell its name right away.
Zheng Jing's mind was no longer on those divine monuments at all, and no one here paid attention to these ice crystals anyway, Zheng Jing quietly scavenged all the ice crystals that had been excavated in this mine without attracting anyone's attention and threw them into the Qiankun bag.
"Distinguished guest, what are you doing here? I've been looking for you for a long time, and those monuments have been dug up, so please hurry up. ”
The shouting woke up Zheng Jing, who had gone into the mine to dig up some more ice crystals, and walked out of the mine, and at the entrance of the mine, seven huge stone slabs that were still sticking to the soil had been lined up in turn, Xiao Lin was squatting there carefully cleaning the soil on it with her little hands, and her expression was very excited.
The seven pieces here, plus the two pieces obtained by Halbarana, are exactly the Ninefold Exercises, which are complete and complete, enough for the disciples of the Freedom Sect to cultivate from beginning to end.
Zheng Jing lifted up Xiao Lin, who was squatting in front of those stone slabs and couldn't extricate herself, and asked her, "Is this set of exercises relatively advanced?" Don't just get back with a bunch of garbage, right? ”
Xiao Lin shook his head vigorously: "Originally, it didn't count, but the complete surname of this set of exercises is very precious, and the power of cultivation to the later stage is definitely no worse than that of high-level exercises!" ”
Zheng Jingjing nodded, and put all the stone slabs on the ground into the Qiankun bag, all he had to do now was to wait, wait for a week or so, and he and Xiao Lin would have enough teleportation energy to return to the earth.
"Huh?" Zheng Jing shook his nose, and suddenly there was a fishy smell in the air, looking in the direction where the smell came from, a team of people were pushing a trolley, carrying some large wooden barrels passing in front of the mine.
Running forward quickly to stop a person pushing a cart, Zheng Jing pointed to the big wooden barrel on the cart and asked, "What is this?" ”
There is no one here who does not know Zheng Jing, the savior who helped them defeat the orcs and regain their homeland, and when the person pushing the cart saw that it was Zheng Jing, he hurriedly replied in a respectful tone: "Hui benefactor, these are animal oils, which are made from the fat on the beasts, and we burn these things to keep warm." ”
Oil! As soon as he heard this word, Zheng Jing came to his senses, they are all oil, they are all things used to burn, even if the energy contained in these animal oils is not as good as gasoline, it should be able to exchange for some energy, right?
"Can you give me this oil?"
"Of course you can, the benefactor can use it as he pleases." After the man pushing the cart finished speaking, he took the initiative to step aside.
Zheng Jing stepped forward and was about to lift the lid on the barrel, but at this moment, a strange noise suddenly appeared behind him!
Zheng Jing reacted quickly, and immediately dodged behind the barrel next to him, and just after dodging out, he saw that the wooden cover that was facing Zheng Jing's back just now had been lifted away, and the muzzle of an AK74 swept out a bullet at the position where Zheng Jing was standing just now!
