"Isn't this just a gambling stone? ”

After listening to the story of the leather shop owner, Fengyun's mind couldn't help but think of a gambling method that had appeared in the world before he traveled - gambling stones, more accurately gambling on jade rough stones.

The so-called one knife is poor and one knife is rich, one knife heaven and one knife hell, I don't know how many tragicomedies have been staged.

Although the world is betting on spinel, it is not much different in nature from betting on jadeite rough.

About a hundred miles from Rock City (the name of the city where the owner of the leather shop had heard it) was a spinel mine, and the rough spinel mined from it was very similar to the rough jadeite, with a stone shell on the outside.

This layer of stone shell that encloses the rough spinel is the same as the shell of the rough jadeite, and it is highly secretive, and it is impossible to see what is inside without opening it.

However, the activity of betting on spinel rough did not start as soon as the spinel mine was discovered, and it was normal at the beginning, that is, to mine the rough stones that felt that there might be spinel, break them up, and see if there was spinel in it, take it out if there is, and throw it away if there is none.

Spinel is very hard, and when you break its shell, you don't have to worry about it being crushed.

However, it is still not easy to take out the spinel, I don't know if it is affected by the spinel, the stone shell that wraps them is far harder than ordinary stones, even if the totem warrior appears, it will take a lot of time and effort to break them.

In fact, the reason why the rock appeared is also directly related to this spinel mine, and it is no exaggeration to say that without the discovery of the spinel mine, there would be no rock city.

Of course, if you just mine spinel, you don't need such a big city, although there are many tribes involved in the beginning, and there are many people who mine spinel, there is still no need to build such a big city.

The real reason for the appearance of Rock City is to protect the spinel mines and the mined spinels from being snatched away, and the snatchers are the greatest enemies of the Terrans, the cannibal barbarians.

Although the spinel mine was first discovered by the Terrans, there was also a cannibal barbarian tribe not far from the spinel mine at that time.

Even if the Terrans had tried to be as careful as possible when mining spinel, after all, the distance between the two was too close, and it was discovered after a long time.

When he learned that there was a spinel mine not far from him, and it was being mined by his mortal enemy, the Terrans, the cannibal barbarians immediately quit and immediately organized and launched an attack on the mine, wanting to take the mine down and take it for themselves.

The cannibal barbarians would take such drastic measures, in addition to not wanting to see the Terrans use spinel to develop and become stronger, but also because of their own needs.

Like human totem warriors, cannibal barbarians can use spinel to an even better effect.

The Terrans and the Cannibal Barbarians have been in a state of hostility for a long time in the past, and they don't know how many members of each other have been killed, and the hatred is deeper than the sea, and there is no possibility of reconciliation.

Not to mention that there is a spinel mine, which is an important weight related to the development and growth of both sides, that is, on weekdays, as long as you take care of the face, you will fight immediately like a cockfight.

There was no surprise at all, the battle between the Terrans and the cannibal barbarians around the spinel mine took place, and more and more forces were put into it, and it lasted longer and longer.

In this case, the Terran side needed a stronghold, so Rock City came into being, so Rock City was the result of the joint efforts of many Terran tribes.

Even so, it still took a long time to build Rock City, and even paid a lot of price, because the cannibal barbarians are not fools, and it is clear that once the Terrans have a strong stronghold, they will be at a disadvantage if they want to attack the Terrans.

It is absolutely forbidden to let the Terrans build the city.

This was the first decision made by the cannibal barbarians after they found out about the city's move, so they immediately organized their forces to destroy it.

The Terrans, of course, would not allow their plans to be disrupted, and organized men to protect the Rock City under construction and the people who built it.

Later, both the Terrans and the Cannibal Barbarians even shifted the center of the battlefield to Rock City. According to the owner of the leather shop, every inch of land in the entire Rock City may have been soaked in the blood of Terrans and cannibal barbarians.

In the end, the Terrans withstood the pressure and paid great sacrifices, but in the end, the Rock City was built, and with such a stronghold as Rock City, the balance of war began to tilt in favor of the Terran side.

In the winter of the third year after the construction of Rock City, which was unusually cold, the Terrans gathered their elite and launched a surprise attack on the cannibal barbarians, destroying the stronghold they had built.

Although the cannibal barbarians also wanted to learn from the Terrans to build a stronghold comparable to Rock City, building a city, especially a majestic city like Rock City, is not something that can be built just by thinking about it.

Coupled with the fact that the Terran side would send people to harass and destroy from time to time, in the end, the cannibal barbarians failed to do so.

Since they could not build a strong stronghold comparable to that of Rock City, the cannibal barbarians no longer wasted manpower and material resources in vain.

However, this is not to say that the cannibal barbarians do not have a stronghold, but they uphold the principle of saving time and effort, and the difficulty of logging is much lower than the difficulty of quarrying, so the cannibal barbarian's stronghold uses a lot of wood.

But they never imagined that it was because they wanted to save trouble, but they not only lost the spinel mine, but also caused them to lose the war with the Terrans.

One of the decisive factors was the kind of raid launched by the Terran elite in winter.

It was too cold that winter, and the Terrans had made some illusions to deceive the cannibal barbarians, convincing them that they would not attack.

As a result, the Terran side's surprise attack was successful, and when they appeared near the cannibal barbarian stronghold, the other side was defenseless.

This time, the Terrans did not kill too many cannibal barbarians, because their purpose was not to kill as many enemies as possible at all, but to give the stronghold to the people.

And they did, too.

There is no stronghold, and the weather is extremely cold, many cannibal barbarians with slightly weak physique have been frozen to death, many of which are young cannibal barbarians, plus the human race does not forgive and continues to invade, so that the cannibal barbarians are unable to establish a stronghold to resist the cold.

In the end, the cannibal barbarians had to choose to retreat, and this retreat, they were never able to return.
