Chapter 12: The Treasure of the Australopithecus

After the two chicken claws of Rhubarb went down to his stomach and licked the oil-stained corners of his mouth with his long tongue, his eyes when he looked at Ling Ke also softened. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 He had the audacity to put his palm on the rhubarb's head through the crack in the cage and carefully rubbed it.

Rhubarb whined and roared for a while, baring his teeth in a threatening expression. But Ling Ke's hand did not move away, and after a stalemate like this, Rhubarb lowered his head and wagged his tail twice in good faith.

Seeing that the time had come, Ling Ke opened the cage door and released it. Ling Ke and the others took Rhubarb to the market to buy meat, and led it up the hill.

Ling Ke first entrusted Rhubarb to Ling Songhua to take care of, and he walked to the habitat of the "Four Ghosts" first and whistled. The ground began to loosen, and four spiders burst out of the ground, revealing half of their bodies, and swished at him.

Ling Ke took the pieces of meat out of one of the cloth bags he was carrying, and threw them at the spiders, who, with a cheerful sizzling sound, stretched out their chelae, tore the pieces of flesh apart, and filled them into their mouths with relish.

At this time, with a wild barking sound, Rhubarb broke free of Ling Songhua's control and rushed towards the feeding spider unsuspectingly.

The disturbed diners first dispersed in terror, and then formed an encirclement that surrounded the rhubarb, which barked loudly at them. And stretched out his long steps, and was about to attack the rhubarb.

Ling Songhua rushed over panting, and anxiously shouted to Ling Ke, "Quick, quickly pull the rhubarb back!" ”

Ling Ke answered, ran over quickly, whistled at Da Hei, and gestured to him a few times, until it shook its chelicera to show that it knew his intentions, then turned to leave, and walked to Ling Songhua, who had rushed over.

"Son, aren't you going to give rhubarb to the four ghosts for breakfast?" Ling Songhua asked nervously.

"I don't want my own dog. You see, the big ghost is courting Rhubarb. ”

Ling Songhua saw that the big ghost was wrapping a piece of meat in spider silk and throwing it in front of Rhubarb. This action caused its barking to stop, and it looked up at the big ghost suspiciously, stretched out its nose and sniffed the pieces of flesh on the ground, and was about to take it in its mouth.

But the nearly ten-meter-long spider silk suddenly retreated in the direction of the big ghost, causing the big rhubarb to bite into the air, and it raised its head and roared at the big ghost twice, expressing its dissatisfaction.

The big ghost coiled the two tentacles into flowers, and then spread them out again, making a popping sound, as if smiling playfully at Rhubarb.

Rhubarb looked at the pieces of meat that were fading away, and salivated all over the ground. It hunched its hips and leaped forward, swallowing all the pieces of meat into its mouth. As it was feasting, it noticed that the silk embedded in the flesh suddenly tightened and pulled forward.

Rhubarb was reluctant to give up the meat in his mouth, and was dragged forward by the spider silk. Just as it was about to approach the Great Ghost, the spider silk snapped off, allowing it to finally enjoy its delicious taste.

After eating a fine light, Rhubarb, which was only a meter away from the big ghost, coveted the piece of meat on its tentacles again. It wrinkled its nose, bared its teeth, and whimpered menacingly at the big ghost.

The other three ghosts saw that it was too close to its companions, and they all shook their heads, ready for battle at any time.

The big ghost gestured to his companions, signaling them not to act rashly. At the same time, cautiously moving forward, he held the piece of meat with his tentacles and reached to Rhubarb's mouth.

Rhubarb was stunned for a moment, and then barked restlessly, its hind legs were tense, and it was in danger of attacking the big ghost at any time, Ling Ke immediately snatched the shotgun from his father's hand, put it on his shoulder, put his index finger on the trigger, and aimed the muzzle of the gun at Rhubarb's back, in case it suddenly attacked.

At this moment, Rhubarb stopped barking, and his neck jerked forward, opening his mouth wide to bite the piece of flesh, and at the same time choking the tentacles of the big ghost inserted in it.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the other three spiders gathered towards Rhubarb, and Ling Ke also took a step forward, aiming his gun at the back of its head.

Ling Ke saw that Rhubarb pulled the piece of meat off the big ghost's chela, and did not bite it off by the way, so he let go, lowered the gun, sighed, and said to Ling Songhua beside him:

"Dad, from now on, the four ghosts have bodyguards, and there is no problem in dealing with the wolves."

"Well, Rhubarb is the head of the wild dogs in the village, and he can do this errand!" Ling Songhua stretched out his hand and wiped the sweat drops on his forehead, and said in shock.

Ling Ke looked at the rhubarb who was playing with the four ghosts, and was very pleased. It seems that the ancient tarantula has also evolved a lot in the past 300 million years, and the wisdom reflected in its relationship with dogs is far beyond his expectations.

At this time, there was a faint sound of undulating dogs barking at the foot of the mountain, and it was the rhubarb horses who rushed over. When Rhubarb heard this, he ran over to follow the sound, and after a while, he brought more than ten hunting dogs up the mountain, and the scene suddenly became lively.

Ling Ke and the two hurriedly took out the pieces of meat and gave them to the dogs. When they had eaten all the meat in the bag, Rhubarb led everyone to run to the spiders and play together.

Ling Ke looked at the scene of harmony between the dog and the spider, and said to Ling Songhua: "In the future, this hill and the turquoise here will belong to our family, and from now on, you won't have to do so much to steal from rats and dogs." ”

"Well, thanks to you!." Ling Songhua looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky and said, "Son, I'm going to take the first step, go to the branch secretary to sign a contract and buy this treasure mountain." ”

"Okay, you go, I'll stay here a little longer, in case the four ghosts and the hounds clash."

After his father left, Ling Ke waited until the four ghosts had infiltrated the underground lair, and after the dogs had dispersed, he took the rhubarb and came to a cave that walked diagonally down for about twenty meters through a wooded area, through a hole covered by gravel and dead branches, and came to a mine.

This is a mine that was excavated many years ago, and it was abandoned because it had no mining value. But it was turned into a treasure by Lingke, and in a very hidden place in the corner of the cave, it found a turquoise deposit with a storage capacity of about 20 tons.

Turquoise is an exogenous leaching deposit, which is mostly formed by granite erosion over the years. The burial depth is not large, and mining is relatively simple.

Ling Ke lit the torch and fastened it to the stone wall, then took out the chopping and embedded it in the crack of the stone with a hammer, and then struck it violently several times, and after several pieces of the stone shattered, revealing the blue turquoise mineral inside.

Ling Ke stretched out his hand and plucked on it, and a piece of turquoise ore fell off and fell to the ground with a clatter, glowing blue.

Surprised, he leaned over to pick up the ore, only to find a pair of furry hands appear out of thin air, grabbing the ore first.

Ling Ke was taken aback, hurriedly picked up the shotgun next to him, and aimed the muzzle at the uninvited guest.

"Who are you?" Ling Ke saw a two-meter-tall gorilla-like monster standing in front of him, it was tucking the ore in its hand to its waist, and it was wrapped in a leather skirt.

"Gorilla" roared at Ling Ke and pounced, and Ling Ke fired a shot at his forehead. Incredibly, the bullet passed through the orangutan forehead and made a popping sound on the stone wall behind him, without harming him in the slightest.

At the same time, the gorilla's huge body pounced on Ling Ke and passed through it like air. Ling Ke turned around in surprise and stared at the gorilla who was also six gods and no masters.

The two were more than a meter apart, and the gorilla pulled out an unusually sharp beast bone pinned to his waist, and suddenly raised it with both hands and stabbed towards Ling Ke.

Ling Ke also pulled out a steel knife and stabbed the gorilla in the abdomen. But as just now, for both sides, each other is air, and neither can hurt the other.

After several more attempts, the two finally realized that all their efforts to kill each other were to no avail, so they stopped their attacks and looked at each other helplessly and breathlessly.

"Who are you?" Ling Ke kept asking, and laboriously gesturing to the other party, because from his or its eyes, there was a hint of intelligence different from that of animals, so he tried to communicate with him.

After a lot of effort, the other party seemed to understand what Ling Ke meant, and his exaggerated protruding chin slowly opened, and he spit out two bytes stiffly:

"Rugo."
