The rocks here are all reddish magmatic rocks, which are formed by the solidification of magma after erupting from the ground, and the three flame fruits are embedded in the edge of the solidified magma rocks, which are irregularly distributed, and the nearest is only less than five meters away from Qiubai.

"Number Three, dig there." Qiubai commanded.

At a distance of five meters, No. 3 is a matter of waving a few claws, but the magma rock is obviously a little harder, because Qiubai feels that No. 3 is a little difficult to dig.

Digging closer, Qiu Bai grabbed the flame fruit, and suddenly had a feeling that this flame fruit was a bit like a hot water bottle, and the temperature was obviously higher than the few that he had started to get, so he asked No. 3 to cut the stones around the flame fruit with his claws, and Qiu Bai got the flame fruit back.

It is true that the temperature is high, but it is not to the extent that it is hot, and the color is a little redder, but if it weren't for Qiubai's careful observation of the flame fruit, it would hardly be able to find it.

"According to the tea tree, the flame fruit can only grow by absorbing the heat of magma, and if it is in the magma, the temperature of the flame fruit will be frighteningly high, even dozens or hundreds of times higher than the temperature of the magma, but because the magma of this crater erupted, the flame fruit broke away from the flame tree, and then there was no magma, so it cooled slowly, so that after countless years, the flame fruit would cool down to this temperature, otherwise let alone scratching it with your hands, it would feel hot when you saw it from a distance."

Some of the flame fruits in the underground forest will be bad because they can't absorb the heat, and when the heat is dissipated, the seeds will be bad, and the temperature here is a little higher, and the heat emitted in the flame fruit will be a little slower, and it hasn't been dissipated yet, so it's still intact.

Since Qiubai has come down, he is going to finish the Flame Fruit this time, at least to get the Flame Fruit that the Optimus Tree needs, so let No. 3 continue to dig and dig towards the second Flame Fruit.

The tourists followed behind Qiu Bai, seeing that Qiu Bai got the flame fruit so easily, and it was extremely safe, some people thought of the woman who fell today, and said why is this so painful.

There are really a lot of flame fruits here, some are separated by hundreds of meters, and some are actually still in the stones, covered by magma rocks, if it is not dug up on the third, Qiubai can't find it at all, this kind of flame fruit in it has a higher temperature, and it feels a little hot to touch, according to Qiubai's estimates, there must be at least a temperature of more than forty degrees close to fifty degrees.

Digging like this, No. 3 has almost dug dozens of miles of passages, if it is changed to a straight-line distance, it is estimated that it will be a thousand meters from the top of the crater at this time, Qiubai looked at the big bag on No. 3's back, which was borrowed by Qiubai from tourists, and it was stuffed with flame fruits, at least nearly a hundred.

"Boss Lin, the temperature here is too high." The tourists who followed were all sweating profusely, and the men almost took off their clothes and pulled them on their bodies, but this still didn't work, the temperature here must be at least 40 degrees, just like standing on the road in the summer, and the heat was unbearable.

Qiu Baixin said that since he knew that the heat should follow behind? "Well, the temperature is indeed high, and the Flame Fruit is almost enough, so let's go back to it."

In fact, some tourists really want to go to the bottom of the crater to see, but this is obviously not realistic, the deeper the underground depth, the higher the temperature, especially this is still the crater, although there may be no magma at the bottom, but the residual temperature is still amazing, I don't see that now everyone is hot like a hot dog, so Qiubai said to go back, although reluctantly, can only go back, and it is estimated that it will be hot if you stay again.

"Boss Lin, what are you doing with so many flame fruits?" When everyone was up there, the tourists asked.

Qiu Bai glanced at him and smiled: "Confidential." ”

"What's the secret, it's too upright."

"You'll know later, keep it secret for now." Qiubai still didn't say anything, but he said solemnly: "Everyone went down just now, in fact, there is really nothing below, so it's best for everyone to put away their curiosity in the future, really, if anyone falls, I can't save it, in addition, the flame fruit is also considered to be the acquisition is over, I will remove the acquisition information after a while, everyone is fine, don't go down to play, especially some rock climbing, it's really dangerous." ”

After Qiubai finished speaking, he didn't care if these people could listen to it or not, he took No. 3 out of the crater and went back the way he came.

When he came back, Qiubai took a few wrong turns, but in the end he corrected it, and soon arrived at the underground lake, but Qiubai didn't see the old men fishing, shrugged, and Qiubai didn't care.

When he arrived at the Tiancheng Bathhouse, Qiubai asked Wang Yan to take down the acquisition information, and then walked towards the ground.

"Tea tree, enough flame fruit." Before reaching the ground, Qiubai hurriedly informed the tea tree.

"Huh? Is it? "Tea tree was also pleasantly surprised.

"Yes, I went to the crater just now and dug out all the flame fruits that are almost a thousand meters deep, nearly a hundred."

"Then come back quickly and get the Flame Fruit into the roots of the Optimus Tree, I can't wait."

Qiu Bai smiled knowingly, hearing what the tea tree said, he couldn't wait, what kind of ability would the Optimus Tree, which had fully absorbed the ability of the Flame Fruit, have? At the very least, it must be heat-resistant.

When he got to the ground, Qiubai directly ordered No. 3 to dig a hole under the root of the Optimus Tree, and then put the Flame Fruit into the root of the Optimus Tree, and just about to cover it, the tea tree said, "Don't cover it, get the other Flame Fruit into the root as well." ”

"Get it all? That's more than a hundred? ”

"Well, it's okay, don't worry, I know in my heart, the Optimus Tree can absorb it."

"Oh."

Qiubai could only believe in the tea tree, and asked No. 3 to cut the ground around the Optimus Tree, and then stuffed all the hundreds of flame fruits into the roots of the Optimus Tree, and it took half an hour to complete it.

"Okay?"

"Well, that's okay, the next thing is to wait, I'll inform the Golden Tree and let it tell the Optimus Tree to absorb it with all its might."

"How much time will it take?"

"You can see a change in an hour at most, and if it's shorter, you can see a change in half an hour." After the tea tree finished speaking, he fell silent, and it seemed that he had communicated with the golden tree.

An hour will soon pass, but Qiu Bai felt as if it was a little difficult, walked around the yard, looked up at the Optimus Tree from time to time, Qiu Bai really couldn't calm down, I wanted to go out to see the business of the hotel, after thinking about it, Qiu Bai called Yang Hui.

"District Chief Yang, let me ask about that Lu Ming? How is he now? Are you still thinking about suing me? ”

"Didn't you say I wanted to call you, that Lu Ming we have already let you out?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Qiubai was a little angry: "Eldest sister, didn't you say that kid was going to slander me?" How did you let him out so quickly? You want to see me burnt out, don't you? ”

Yang Hui laughed: "Don't worry, that Lu Ming suddenly said that he won't sue you again, saying that his wife accidentally fell into the crater, do you think the police station will not let people go?" ”

"Wouldn't it? That guy looks like a sick person, how could he change his confession so easily? Mayor Yang, did you do something? ”

"No, it's just that a lawyer came later, and after the lawyer talked to him, Lu Ming suddenly changed his confession, saying that his wife accidentally fell into the crater and had nothing to do with anyone, and the reason why he started to say that was because he lost his mind because of grief, and the people at the police station recorded the confession, so they naturally let him go."

"Lawyer? What did the lawyer say to him? ”

"I don't know, anyway, it's a good thing for you, why do you care so much?"

"Isn't there no bottom in my heart? I always feel that this thing is so mysterious. ”

"The confession has been recorded, what are you afraid of? Could it be that you are weak-hearted, who said there at the beginning: I won't pay if I am killed, but now I am panicked? Yang Hui smiled.

Qiubai touched his nose: "It's over, let's not mention it, really, tell me why that Lu Ming suddenly changed his mind." ”

"I can probably guess that since Lu Ming wants to blackmail the money, and the money is in hand, he naturally changed his words, okay, you don't care about this matter, you are still not feeling well after the matter is resolved, are you also sick?"

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Yang Hui's face retracted: Is it related to the mayor? But I'm afraid this matter is not so bright, thinking of this, Yang Hui shook her head and decided not to think about it in the future.

Here, Qiu Bai just hung up the phone, Ning Ning struggled to hold the money box into the yard, Qiu Bai hurriedly stepped forward to take it, "How many boxes are this?" ”

"Sixth." Ning Ning wiped the sweat from her head, "Be careful..."

As soon as the words were finished, a stack of money floated out of the box, Qiu Bai looked at a head that suddenly popped out of the box, his hands trembled, and he almost threw the box away, this guy was actually Awu.

Ah Wu yelled at Qiubai a few times, then jumped onto Qiubai's shoulder, and with its movements, a hundred-yuan bill spilled out of the box.

"Awu, don't make trouble." Ning Ning watched with amusement as Awu stretched out his tongue to lick Qiubai's ears, Qiubai couldn't hide from holding the box with both hands, and soon his ears were full of saliva.

"Ning Ning, get this guy out of the way." Qiubai can't cry or laugh, you can also score a while.

Ning Ning brought Ah Wu over, and picked up the money into the box, Qiu Bai entered the house and put the money away, and when he came out, he thought of the underground sentry box, so he told Ning Ning, and asked Ning Ning to recruit security guards by the way when he recruited people.

"Recruit five hundred security guards?" Ning Ning frowned: "It's not easy to recruit people now, it's the New Year, most of them are ready to go back to their hometowns, few people will go out to work at this time, like our accounting and procurement haven't been recruited yet." ”

Is Repulse Bay not well-paid? Of course not, the salary set by the accountant is 40,000 yuan, and the purchase is 35,000, so I didn't recruit it for more than ten days, in fact, there are people who are applying for it, but Ning Ning sees that this is not suitable and that is not suitable, so he can't settle down for a long time, and now he has to recruit security guards, and one move is 500 people, and Ning Ning's surname also feels that his head is big.

"If you don't recruit it, you can't do it, when I went to the crater today, an old man took me by the ear and reprimanded me, and I was almost a thousand people, and not only to recruit security guards, waiters or something, because I think Repulse Bay will definitely be quite busy for the New Year."

"I know, the key is that you can't recruit them, the salaries of security guards and waiters are not high, and people can't come all the way to be a security guard and a waiter."

"What's the matter, ** and the wages along the coast are lower than ours in Repulse Bay, and there are still people who go there, and some people even go to those places to pick up garbage."

"Okay, I'll try."

"Autumn White." The tea tree suddenly said urgently: "Look at the Optimus Tree, there has been a change. ”

So fast? Qiu Bai subconsciously looked towards the Optimus Tree, only to see a red stripe appear on the silver-white body of the Optimus Tree, this red stripe slowly extended to the trunk of the Optimus Tree, and then spread, at first slowly, then quickly, after a while, the body of the Optimus Tree actually became white and red on one side, so white and red, it was weird.

"What does that mean?" Qiu Bai asked in surprise.

"What do you mean? Qiubai, what are you talking about? Ning Ning asked in wonder, and then looked at Qiu Bai's eyes, and his eyes were also glaring: "Oh, why did the Optimus Tree become like this?" Didn't you just have nothing? ”

The voice of the tea tree came into Qiubai's ears, and Qiubai felt that the tea tree seemed to be a little weak-hearted: "This, it seems that there is a little problem with the Optimus Tree, really, just a small problem..."

"What's the problem, mother-in-law, you can say it, I don't blame you."

"Let's put it this way, it's half of the Optimus Tree grafted, and half of it is not grafted, and then it's what you see now..."

There are black lines on Qiubai's head: "Half and half? Is this still about chance? ”

"It's a wrong estimate, but Qiubai, you don't have to worry, the Optimus Tree is actually in good condition now, it's really good now, it can still grow.. uh..."

Before the tea tree finished speaking, under Qiubai's frightened gaze, there was a sudden clicking sound at the place where the white and red bark of the Optimus Tree met, the bark was cracking, and then the trunk inside, is this the rhythm of splitting in half? (To be continued.) )
