Chapter 68: The Stygian Stone
Fan Ganglie looked at the bottomless cliff in front of him, and then looked at the direction of the footprints, and when he reached the edge of the cliff, it was gone, his face changed, "Is it ......?"
"There are other footprints here, it should have been chased by something, and it probably fell off a cliff. Ye Chenshan glanced at the surroundings and said euphemistically.
Fan Yujing and Li Ying both had ugly faces, they worked hard to find them, in the previous battle, Fan Ganglie even damaged the snake winged dragon, if the blood fox flame-tailed beast fell off the cliff and died, wouldn't their efforts be in vain?
Su Ping didn't speak, his gaze slowly scanned the surrounding environment, the arrangement of scattered footprints on the ground, a few traces of battle, and the remaining fiery red hair and broken bones, all of which were in his eyes.
Suddenly, he jumped off the monster, came to the edge of the cliff, and glanced into the cliff.
The reason why he fell to the ground was to prevent being attacked and pushed off the cliff, although he knew that Fan Ganglie and the others had no reason to do so, but the heart of defense was indispensable.
I saw that the cliff was pitch black, it was night, and the visibility was extremely low.
"Are there any glow sticks?" asked Su Ping to Fan Ganglie and the others in the back.
Seeing that Su Ping went to the edge of the cliff to visit, Fan Ganglie and the others were embarrassed to continue to sit on the demon beast, and came down one after another, Li Ying said, "Yes." He took out a few glow sticks from his backpack and handed them to Su Ping.
Su Ping unscrewed one and threw it into the cliff.
The glow stick fell straight down, illuminating the steep cliffs along the way clearly, the brown rock wall was extremely rough, and dozens of meters away, Su Ping saw a cluster of fiery red hair, fluttering in the rock crevice, it was the hair of the blood fox flame-tailed beast. The glow sticks continued to fall, skimming over the rough rock wall, shining on some dead vines that emerged from the cracks in the rock wall.
Suddenly, Su Ping seemed to see a strange object, but the fire was too faint and fell too fast to see clearly.
He unscrewed and threw down a glow stick, the same path as before.
This time he saw clearly, it was an irregular hard lump, with dark golden particles, embedded in the cliff wall, with a rough surface.
"Is it a gold mine?" Su Ping couldn't help but be stunned, in this unknown area, no human has ever picked it, and it is not unusual to find gold mines, which is also the charm of land reclamation, I don't know how many pioneers have become rich because they have found a gold mine, or uranium ore and other rare minerals.
Su Ping didn't expect that he was lucky enough to encounter such a good thing when he first came, and he was a little surprised, but it was too difficult for him to pick this thing himself, and he needed to rely on the strength of other people.
Moreover, it is impossible to enjoy it exclusively, his storage space is too small, if it is really a metal mine, even if the storage space is full, the value of the refinement is not high, and it can only be carried back by pet beasts.
At this time, Fan Ganglie picked up a stone and threw it off the cliff, listened carefully, and after a long time there was no response, his face was ugly, and he turned to Li Ying and said: "Use your earthworm beast to search for it, and if you want to see the corpse, if you find the corpse, bring it back." ”
Li Ying nodded, summoned his earthworm beast, and burrowed into the rocks on the edge of the cliff.
Although they are also rock pet beasts, the mountain shaking beast does not have the ability to burrow into the ground.
When Su Ping heard Fan Ganglie's words, the previous surprise suddenly disappeared, and he sighed in his heart, in this way, his mission was about to fail.
After a while, Li Ying suddenly opened his eyes and said in surprise: "The earthworm beast has found the blood fox, and it is still alive!"
"Huh?" Su Ping, Fan Ganglie and the others were stunned.
Found it? Still alive?
With the depth of this cliff, the Blood Fox Flame-tailed Beast, a pet beast with no ability to fly, actually didn't fall to his death?
Seeing the stunned appearance of several people, Li Ying smiled and said, "The earthworm beast was found in a cave in the cliff, and the blood fox is inside. ”
"Cliff cave?" Su Ping's face was strange, and he suddenly thought of some old grandfather who was waiting hard.
Fan Ganglie was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said, "Take us over." ”
"Hmm. Li Ying said: "I let the earthworm beast drill through the passage. ”
It didn't take long for there to be an oblique passage under the feet of everyone, which was carved out by the earthworm beast with body fluids melted rocks, and everyone slowly slid down the passage with their arms, and at the end of the passage was the cave where the blood fox was staying.
After falling into the cave, Su Ping quickly glanced around, and found that this was a cave, it was a rock wall pit, only four or five meters of concave, the blood fox flame-tailed beast was lying in it to cultivate, and when it saw a few people appearing, it immediately stood up, revealing an attack posture, and when it found familiar faces such as Fan Ganglie and Fan Yujing, the hostility on its body suddenly disappeared, and a pair of fox-like narrow eyes showed a look of surprise.
"Finally found you. Fan Ganglie couldn't help but smile, although he suffered heavy losses, but the task of this trip was completed.
The Blood Fox Flame Tailed Beast lay in front of Fan Ganglie and rubbed it affectionately, although Fan Ganglie was not its owner, but he usually fed and teased it, and he was very familiar with it.
Su Ping saw that there were only some scars on this blood fox, but it was fine, and he was also relieved in his heart, so that his task was completed, fortunately.
"It turns out that there are dead vines here, and it is estimated that it jumped here with the help of dead vines to slow down. Ye Chenshan looked at the situation on the concave wall and said suddenly.
Su Ping thought of the thing he saw that protruded from what was suspected to be a gold mine, and it was estimated that this blood fox had slowed down with the help of that thing, so he immediately said to Li Ying: "There seems to be a metal mine on it, you let your earthworm beast hit the passage there, let's go over and take a look." ”
"Metal mines?"
Li Ying was stunned for a moment, Fan Ganglie, Ye Chenshan and others also cast their eyes, a little stunned, and then their eyes quickly showed joy, they all knew what it meant to explore a metal mine in the crack in the starry sky, once it was a gold mine, it would be a big profit!
"Go check it out. Fan Ganglie hurriedly urged.
Li Ying was also very moved, and immediately let his earthworm beast open up the passage, and everyone climbed up along the passage, and sure enough, they saw a hard thing in the soil that was seven or eight meters long in diameter and four or five meters wide.
Fan Ganglie took out a small instrument from his backpack and scanned and measured the object, which was able to measure the gold content inside.
Other people also had such instruments, but they didn't take them out, they just went to Fan Ganglie's side to inspect them.
"Uranium content...... 0.002%, gold content 2.902%...... Silver content......"
The content of many elements appeared like a list, and when he saw the content of uranium and gold, the smile on Fan Ganglie's face had disappeared, full of disappointment.
In the back, iron, copper, nickel, vanadium and other metal elements are also very low, and the content of all elements on the table does not exceed 5%.
Su Ping glanced at the list on the instrument, and felt a little strange, if such a large lump did not contain these elements, what kind of substance would it be? At this moment, the little skeleton at his feet suddenly became excited, stretched out his skull claws and stroked the lump of minerals, looking very greedy.
Su Ping was a little surprised, and then realized that this was most likely not a mine of the earth element, but other unknown minerals, which were useful for undead creatures.
"System, can you identify it?" Su Ping asked silently in his heart.
The system said, "Yes." ”
Su Ping was suddenly surprised: "Then what is this?"
"The appraisal fee is 100 energy points once. The system said.
Su Ping almost spurted blood, this also has to be charged?
Thinking of his remaining six or seven hundred energy points, he gritted his teeth and paid.
The system first prompted the energy deduction information, and then said: "This is the Underworld Stone Mine, the gathering of undead energy, which can be refined into the Underworld Stone, which can be used not only for cultivation, but also as a currency for trading between the Underworld and the Necromantic Realm." ”
"Soul Stone?" Su Ping was stunned, "So, this is something similar to a spirit stone?"
"It's understandable. ”
Su Ping was stunned, and then asked, "Can you refine this thing?"
"Yes. ”
"Really, that's so embarrassing......"
"Refining fee 100 energy. ”
“......”
