Chapter 3: Digging Up a Miracle (2)
At noon, the sun was still blazing high on the boulder pile that had been turned into a large construction site.
The soil that turned out quickly became dry, but Yang Qian, who was working in the damp soil below, did not feel that the heat could not stand it so much.
Now he is just digging the soil mechanically, and when he turns up the soil, he finds a place where there is no slate underneath and piles it, and the only tool is a slate, so that he can push away the turned up soil like a bulldozer.
Digging and digging, he suddenly felt something strange, and after digging a few more times, he climbed to the side and looked at the place where he had just digged.
Immediately next to the stone slab he had dug up, a withered yellow thing was exposed, covered with wrinkles that looked like dry roots.
As he continued to dig, the thing was revealed.
It's the same as the roots, but it's surprisingly tough, and when the claws scratch it, it feels like ironwood. But the place where it was cut was not like a tree root, because it didn't have the grain wood silk of a tree, and even Yang Qian couldn't describe what it was, anyway, he felt that it wasn't a tree root.
Whatever it was, at least it was the only non-slate dug up in a few days. So he simply put aside the slate and concentrated on digging up this thing.
Soon, the top section of the thing was completely revealed.
The exposed section is probably oval, and from the bottom up, getting thinner and thinner. Three-quarters of the round surface is a wrinkled skin, and about a quarter of the rest are evenly bumpy, seemingly dense, but orderly arranged, extending from the top to the bottom into the earth.
Seeing nothing, Yang Qian simply continued to dig downward.
As a result, this digging was an afternoon.
The yellow root-like thing below is still round, but it is getting thicker and thicker, and at present, Yang Gan has dug out about ten meters, and the thickest part is almost comparable to half of his own waistline.
Continuing downward, Yang Qian couldn't predict how deep this thing was, so by the next day, he gave up digging this thing.
There was too much gravel here, and it was too laborious to dig it up, so when Yang Qian began to clean up the stone slab ground, within two days, there was really nowhere to accumulate soil, so he filled the pit again. He planned to clear out a large area of the stone slab first, and then dig it again when he wanted to dig this thing up later.
When the weather was too hot, Yang Qian would teach the queen to order something during the break, but with little success, he had already developed a habit.
As soon as he woke up from his cultivation that day, Yang Qian felt that something was wrong.
Although the sun rose as usual, Yang Qian felt a strange breath in the air.
The Queen, who had returned with her prey, was splitting up the corpses on the stone slabs outside the hallway, which it had newly learned. In the past, it was used to tearing at food to eat, but now, under Yang Gan's "successful education", it has finally learned to divide its prey into small pieces first.
"Chirp!"
Xiaoqing, who circled around the queen, flew up and down, waiting for the queen to prepare food for it.
Xiaoqing has rebelled!
Ever since Yang Qian taught the queen to divide the food and knew how to share it with Xiaoqing, this little guy has shamefully rebelled. It has long forgotten how it provoked and ridiculed the queen at the beginning, but replaced it with flattery, and used practical actions to explain what it means to "have milk is a mother".
"Let's eat!"
With Yang Qian's order, and then after some pointing, the three creatures that looked so different started breakfast together. It looks weird, but there is an indescribable warmth.
Xiaoqing just pretended to eat two bites and ran to play, it circled around the queen, the purpose was to steal food in advance. Sometimes Yang Qian felt that in fact, this little guy was the smartest, because he would only show intimacy with the queen before dinner. After eating, it flapped its wings and flew around, crossing the river and demolishing bridges, and so on, it was done to the point of perfection.
Yang Gan, who had eaten, did not continue to dig the soil, but stayed under the corridor to teach the queen to paint.
Not surprisingly, just halfway through the morning, the sun disappeared, and then a strong wind blew, dark clouds drifted in, and in the blink of an eye, the rain poured down.
The heavy rain almost ruined Yang Gan's busyness for several days.
Because he was lazy, he piled up all the dirt around, and the rain gradually began to flow to the stone slabs he had dug up, and soon the places he had dug up turned into mud pools.
Fortunately, the corridors are dug more hard because they have to go back and forth, and the dirt is piled far away, and there is no mud flowing in for the time being.
Yang Qian was so upset that he simply stopped watching it, and began to concentrate on teaching the queen to paint. Xiaoqing, who couldn't go out because of the rain, was honored to be their model today.
"Smack! Draw seriously! ”
Drawing and drawing, Yang Qian slapped the queen on the head. This guy is inattentive again, and now except for drawing circles, everything else is a mess, and he is extremely inattentive to learn, and slightly more complicated things will not be distracted after learning for a long time.
But today it is a little strange that the queen did not come back to her senses immediately after being beaten as before, but kept looking outside.
As soon as Yang Qian turned his head to see what it was looking at, he saw it suddenly jump up and rush towards the heavy rain outside.
Outside, there was nothing but mud, and the queen rushed into the heavy rain, and the heavy rain fell on the mud piles that were piled up high on both sides of the stone road, and in the blink of an eye it was covered in muddy water. It ignored it, and ran all the way to the mound of dirt facing the hallway.
Then it stretched out its claws and pulled something out of the rain-soaked dirt.
When it turned around, the heavy rain quickly washed away the things on its paws, allowing Yang Qian to see it clearly.
His heart pounded.
It's stone.
Such a similar scene, also in the midst of the heavy rain, the same queen rushed into the heavy rain in front of her, and found a stone.
The only difference is that this time the queen no longer can't wait to swallow the stone, but in the face of heavy rain, carefully holding the stone and bringing it back to the corridor.
The stone was small, pale yellow, oval, and looked less than ten centimeters in diameter, like a piece of jade, with some twisted blood-like textures.
Waiting for the queen to bring the stone in, Yang Gan, who had studied it carefully for a long time, didn't study anything, except that he felt that this stone was a bit like the jade he had seen in his previous life, but it was lighter than the stone, but it looked like amber or something.
Yang Qian wanted to judge for himself whether this was jade, but most of the jade he had seen in his previous life was seen through the glass, and he would sigh "This guy is really expensive" or "If we have a few pieces, we will be rich", he has not even touched a few.
After thinking about it for a long time, he had the heart to swallow it, and looked at the rain cement slurry on the queen's body, and he felt that it was a little inappropriate.
If it is still its own opponent, it will be easy to deal with, and if it is corrupt, it will not feel that it has done a bad thing; Besides, if you finally come across such a creature that may be able to communicate with you in the future, if you turn around because of this, it doesn't trust itself, or runs away in anger, it will be too much to lose.
Reluctant to return the stone to the queen, only to see the queen pointing at the stone with her claws, and then pointing at herself, Yang Qian suddenly felt happy in his heart.
This means that the thing is its own!
It's not in vain that I have to distribute the food like this every day, and now I finally see the effect!
Yang Qian, who was ecstatic in his heart, filled the stone into his stomach without saying a word.
Then he immediately closed his eyes and entered the cultivation state.
In the endless void, the small crocodile scale armor in the dim galaxy has been completely clear, and the difference is that the previous little crocodile was just a vague light cluster, and now inside the light cluster, there is a relatively bright small light spot, if you estimate according to the volume of the little crocodile, the position of this small light point is just in the heart of the heart.
Why is this, Yang Qian doesn't understand at all. He has been cultivating for so long, as long as it is not a bad thing, something he can't understand, he never thinks about it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and he will talk about it when he gets to the mountain!
By the time he opened his eyes, his eyes were in a state of no focus, and he didn't even notice that the heavy rain outside had stopped.
The stone had an effect, but it was slow to digest, and even with his gastric juice, which was comparable to a strong acid, he waited a long time before he felt a little.
But he was somewhat disappointed.
The stone is supposed to be something that can increase the vitality of cells, and it seems that there is a trace of other abilities, but I can't feel it yet. There are definitely benefits, but for his current body, the use can be said to be minimal. If you don't take into account its other abilities that it hasn't yet felt, it's not even as good as the meat of an evolved creature you've ever eaten, let alone the meat of a creature like a beltfish.
A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind: Or is this stone of little use for all genetically evolved creatures? So the queen who used to eat stones and found that the benefits were not as big as she imagined was given to herself?
If that's the case, then you'll have to find a few more rocks and a few more biological experiments.
So he finally remembered the little horned dragons that he had almost forgotten.
It happened to be raining heavily, looking at the mud all over the ground, piles of mud, there was no hope that the work would start tomorrow, and this time could be used to find the little horned dragons.
Of course, you need to find enough stones before you can find the Ceratosaurus. Since the queen found this kind of stone in the vicinity last time, and this time it is the same, then continue to search, and it is estimated that it should be no problem to find one or two more pieces.
He beckoned his paw to the queen, and then led her outside, stepping on the mud on the ground to the edge of a pile of excavated earth.
"That's what you're looking for, stone!" He stretched out his paw and pulled a few times inside the mound, and took out a stone from the way he came out, and then gestured to the queen. "You have to be able to eat, you have to be able to eat, you know? Look for the kind of stone you just found......"
As he spoke, he suddenly noticed that the queen's eyes kept rolling with the paw on which he was holding the stone, and he suddenly became anxious: "It's not such an ordinary stone, it must be able to eat ......."
After talking for a long time, the queen still only looked at the stone on his paw, and he was so anxious that he was in a hurry to get angry and smoke all over, and threw the stone out with his paw.
This wooden head, forget it, wait until you come back and find it yourself...... What made him even more depressed was that the queen quickly chased after the stone he threw away, carefully picked it up, and actually sent it back to herself.
"You ......"
Yang Gan was speechless in a depressed mood, but when he glanced at the stone in the queen's claws, he turned from depressed to dumbfounded, and in an instant, because Yang Gan suddenly found that this stone was actually the kind of strange stone with blood.
When did this become ubiquitous?
The surprised Yang Qian was only stunned for a moment, and then began to frantically pull up into the mud pile next to him......
