Chapter 199: The Exposed Cave
Seeing the extraordinary actions of Jiang Ping and Fujiwara Masami, Mereve had a few traces of appreciation in her cold eyes, but she didn't say anything, turned around and continued to walk towards the valley.
Along the way, there were constantly membranous snakes flying out to attack and harass, but they were all killed by Mereve and Andre with a wave of their hands, and occasionally they slipped through the net, and they also died under the joint efforts of Jiang Ping and Fujiwara Masami.
After walking for a while, I gradually went deeper into the valley for dozens of miles, and at this time it was difficult to see the bones left by the dead explorers along the way, it seemed that this place was already inaccessible, and could escape the surprise attack of the membranous snake in front, and there were almost no people who came here.
Walking here, the front gradually became empty, but it was still thick with fog, and there was no figure in sight after walking a few meters away.
At this time, someone in the team exclaimed, "Stop, stop!" ”
Hearing this shout, many people stopped in astonishment. Although Merif who was walking in front could no longer see the figure, her cold voice still came, and she asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The man carefully looked at the ground under his feet, picked up a handful of rock and soil from the ground, and said in surprise: "Looking at the rock composition and geological structure here, there is likely to be a large gem mine nearby!" ”
Hearing him say this, many explorers also lowered their heads and looked carefully at the ground under their feet. They had been nervous about the sneak attack of the Hymenwinged Serpent just now, and they almost forgot that the purpose of their visit this time was to find a gem mine.
Most of these explorers are seasoned veterans who have accumulated a lot of experience in searching for gem mines in this Pegasus Sky Domain.
After rock sampling and analysis in many places, most people unanimously believe that this place has the conditions for the formation of gem mines, and it is very valuable for excavation.
After a few moments, Merif's voice came and said, "In that case, let's start mining in this nearby area." Look for gemstones. But stay safe and don't go far. ”
Everyone was a veteran of the exploration and treasure hunting, and when they heard this, they scattered in all directions, took out their mining tools, and began to work.
This is clearly a gem mine that no other explorer has ever set foot in, and the possibility of finding gems here is very high. And Mereve has already said it. In this expedition and treasure hunting, the gems dug up by each person belonged to each other, so everyone was enthusiastic for a while.
After a few moments, Merif's voice was heard again, this time to Andler. I only heard her say: "Andre, there may still be a membranous snake around, we still need to clean it up carefully." ”
As if he hadn't heard at the moment, Andler buried himself in the side, took out the miniature drilling tools he had brought, and got busy. It seems that his interest is also in exploring and searching for treasures, rather than dealing with those membranous snakes.
Seeing this, Mereve did not force it. I went straight to myself.
Masami Fujiwara walked to Ehei's side. asked in a low voice, "Kang Pingjun, are we also starting to mine and hunt for treasures now?" ”
Mining can be a physical job. Generally, it is less than ten days and half a month, and it will not have any effect.
Jiang Ping nodded and said, "Of course, don't forget, we are also explorers and treasure hunters now." ”
Fujiwara Masami pursed her lips and said helplessly: "Okay, then dig it, I hope I can really dig up a gem here, and it will be a windfall." The tone is obviously not optimistic about this mining.
The two of them didn't have much experience, and they didn't know where the geology was good, so they casually looked for a secluded place on the side, took out the miniature drilling tools they brought, and began to dig a pit.
This mining has no technical content, that is, it does not live in the ground to dig holes one after another, and if you can dig up the gem veins, that is luck, and if you can't dig it, you can only envy others.
"Dig it, dig it! There really are gem mines! ”
Just when everyone had been digging here for most of the day and was a little dull, someone shouted out in surprise.
His shout alarmed the explorers present. Someone dug up a gem mine so soon?
Many people ran towards the shout, Jiang Ping and Fujiwara Masami were curious, and they also abandoned the tools in their hands and ran over to see the excitement.
When I came to the place where the crowd gathered, I separated the crowd and walked in, and I saw a deep pit dug in the middle of the field that went straight to the bottom, and an explorer was standing at the bottom of the pit, his face showing ecstasy and excitement.
The explorers standing next to them looked at the pit, pointed and discussed, and many of them showed envy.
Jiang Ping noticed that at the wall of a pit in the pit below, an attractive light blue had appeared, which was obviously different from the color of the surrounding rocks, which should be a vein of gemstones.
"It seems that this is a jade blue stone mine, digging along this light blue vein, it is very likely that you can dig up a piece of jade blue stone!" I heard someone next to me whispering.
"Not necessarily, the real situation is still unclear, whether there is jade and blue stone in it, and it depends on the situation of continuing to dig below, maybe it is a waste mine?" An experienced explorer is in the way of the old god.
"You crow's mouth, shut up! You're sure to dig up gems! The explorer in the pit shouted.
"Then keep digging, dig quickly!" There were many people next to him urging.
The explorers in the pit picked up the miniature drilling tools in their hands again, and under the gaze of the surrounding explorers, they carefully dug deep into the light blue place that appeared on the pit wall.
As the rocks on the surrounding pit walls continued to fall off and fall, the light blue color became more and more blue, more and more pure and attractive, and the exclamations and envy of the explorers watching from the side also rose one after another.
The situation is already obvious at this point, there is undoubtedly a piece of jade blue stone here, and the quality is very good.
Finally, at the end of the vein, an egg-sized, pure blue crystal clear gem fell from the pit wall, and was picked up by the explorer and held in his hand, letting out a big laugh.
This piece of jade and blue stone, if you take it out and sell it, it is worth at least 50,000 federal coins!
Everyone was envious and jealous, and at the same time their hearts were on fire. They didn't expect that gems would appear so soon, and it seemed that this was really the source of a large gem mine.
Soon, the crowd dispersed in the blink of an eye, and after seeing the freshly baked jade and blue stone, everyone's hearts were even hotter and more energetic. Go back to your own pit. I dug it even harder, and I couldn't wait to dig out my own gems.
Jiang Ping and Fujiwara Masami also returned to their pits. Fujiwara Masami, who was originally impatient with this mining work, changed her attitude abruptly, and the drilling tools in her hand kept waving, and it seemed that the freshly baked jade blue stone just now greatly stimulated her.
The two of them were digging here for a while, when they saw a figure walking from a distance. Stopped in front of the two of them. When the visitor approached, he coughed lightly and woke up the two people who were struggling to mine.
The two of them looked up and saw that the person who had come was none other than Merriv, the leader of the Redfish expedition.
Seeing that it was her, both of them couldn't help but stop what they were doing, a little weak-hearted. looked at each other with some puzzlement.
Mereve had a calm expression on her face, and suddenly beckoned, "Mr. Sugimoto, you come with me." ”
The two couldn't help but glance at each other, and they didn't know what each other's intentions were for a while.
Mereve didn't stay long, let alone explain anything, and without waiting for the other to speak, she turned away.
"Natsuko. You're waiting here. I'll go with her. Jiang Ping knew that there was no room for refusal, and whispered to Fujiwara Masami. Jumping out of the pit, he strode after the other man's back.
"Kang Pingjun, be careful." Fujiwara Masami was not at ease, and whispered in the back.
After a while, Jiang Ping caught up with Mereve in front of him and asked what was the matter, but he didn't hear the other party's reply, Jiang Ping was puzzled, but he didn't continue to ask.
Mereve walked towards the front in silence, never meaning to speak.
The two of them walked out more than ten miles away in silence one after the other, and saw more and more corpses of membranous snakes along the way, I don't know how many, it seems that they were all killed by the other party just now.
Jiang Pingzheng saw that his scalp was a little numb, and then Mereve in front of him suddenly stopped, looking ahead, with a rare hint of fear on his face.
When Jiang Ping saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised. After seeing the other party's unrivaled strength, he wondered what else could make the other party show such a frightened look? What kind of powerful monster can the other party fear?
He looked up and looked ahead, and then he saw that in a pile of rocks in front of him, there was a cave of Hesse Sen, and he could not see the scene inside, but felt a gloomy aura coming, as if it was a huge beast of the wilderness, revealing its big mouth to them.
Judging from the fractures in the broken rock around the cave, the traces are still new, and it should be that Mereve inadvertently shattered the rock blocking the entrance of the cave when dealing with the mhelmed snakes just now, making the cave revealed.
Jiang Ping glanced carefully in the direction of the cave entrance. At the entrance of the cave, there were a few large rat-like things roaming left and right, coming in and out, and other than that, there was nothing to be found that could make the other party fearful.
Jiang Ping, who was puzzled in his heart, followed the other party's gaze and looked in the direction of the cave again, and his gaze fell on the few big rat-like things wandering in and out of the cave entrance.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and a rather ridiculous feeling came up: Could the other party be afraid of these big rats at the mouth of the cave?
From the bodies of these big rats, Jiang Ping didn't find any powerful breath, and he was confident that he would not have much trouble dealing with it. And the other party is a strong character who can burst the membrane-winged snake with one punch, and these big rats are ant-like existences in front of each other, how can they be afraid.
Jiang Ping was at this moment when he felt incredible, and then he heard Merif's voice ringing in his ears: "Mr. Sugimoto, can you help me deal with those rats?" His voice trembled lightly, with a hint of pleading.
Although he felt incredible, Jiang Ping had already determined that the other party was really afraid of those big rats.
Maybe the other party used to be very afraid of small animals like mice, so even if he became a genetically modified person and was extremely strong, he still couldn't change this fear.
Some people say that behind every genetically modified person, there is a poignant story, otherwise who would risk their lives and take risks to accept this kind of genetic modification, so that they will be abandoned from the citizens of the Federation?
Jiang Ping didn't know what the sad story behind the other party was, and he didn't have the heart to gossip and ask more, he only knew that the other party's performance at the moment was that she was a weak woman who was afraid of mice.
The other party's request was just an easy thing for him, and of course he would not refuse, so without saying a word, he strode towards the big rats at the entrance of the cave. (To be continued.) )
