"Can't it, right?" Raymond looked at the cat boy in the wild man's arms in surprise: "The little demon beast can eat star fragments, which proves that it has passed the lactation period, and it is only so big after the lactation period......"

"What do you know?" Gordon still insisted on his opinion, and after thinking about it, he said with some uncertainty: "I remember hearing from my family that the slower the growth of a mutant demon beast, the longer its lifespan and the stronger its strength. ”

"Okay, what does it matter to us whether it's a cat or a tiger, it's really messy. Raymond stretched and sat down against the trunk.

At this time, Dio noticed that while Gordon and Raymond were talking about the kitten, the wild man shrank back a little nervously and hugged the kitten in his arms even tighter, as it seemed that the catboy was very important to him.

Dio smiled and said to the wildlings, "They're just a little curious, don't worry." ”

The wild man nodded silently, and never spoke again, just teasing the cat there to himself.

In the morning, the men had almost rested, and under the guidance of the wild man, they walked westward. The wild man seemed to be very sensitive to the breath of strangers, and often when Dio and the others were chatting leisurely, the wild man had already spotted the adventurer team in the distance.

In this way, unnecessary conflicts were avoided, and the speed of travel was naturally much faster, during which there were several times when Franvi's bandits were discovered, Gordon wanted to make a move but was stopped by Dio and Raymond, since the savages were able to find the best star fragments, the mining area was probably no longer a secret, and it was necessary to hurry.

On the morning of this day, while on the way, the wild man suddenly turned his head and looked around, as if looking for something, and then climbed to the top of a tree, looked into the distance, and then jumped down from the tree, and rushed forward quickly, and came to the edge of a large pit with a diameter of about twenty meters, he stopped, looked at the Dio and said, "Here." ”

Dio looked at the direction of the surroundings, and a trace of doubt rose in his heart, no, this is still far from the area of the Thousand Star Lake that Parker said, could it be ...... Have two mines?

Dio walked to the edge of the pit and looked down, and found several corpses lying at the bottom of the pit, which seemed to have been dead for some time, and many parts showed signs of decay.

Dio jumped into the pit, ignoring the rancid smell in his face, grabbed a few stones from the ground, crushed them one by one, and kicked the dirt with his feet, trying to find the shining shards of the stars, Gordon and Raymond also jumped down, crouched on the ground, and touched every stone that jumped into their eyes with both hands.

The wild man was looking at Dio and the others with inexplicable eyes, he didn't understand what Dio was doing.

After a moment, Raymond straightened up: "That's not right...... The fact that he was able to find so many star fragments at once proves that this is a very dense mining area, and we should find something?"

Dio was stunned, suddenly realized something, and turned his head to look at the wild man: "You found it on them?"

The wild man nodded, then jumped into the pit, pointed to one of the corpses, and said, "He...... on him. ”

Dio and several people gathered around to carefully observe the corpse, this is a middle-aged man, judging from the badge he wears on his chest, it is a seventh-order radiant warrior, but more importantly, including this middle-aged person, the deaths of these people at the bottom of the pit are a little weird, most of the middle-aged people's injuries are behind their backs, and the wounds of the other three people are on the chest, judging from the weapons scattered on the ground, they should be talented warriors.

Generally speaking, as a radiant warrior, it is unlikely that he will be attacked by a gifted warrior without knowing it, unless it is a familiar person, but thinking about the large number of top-grade star fragments found by the savage on the middle-aged man, it is understandable, those three people obviously did not expect that the middle-aged man would still have the strength to fight back after being seriously injured, which caused the situation of losing both sides in front of him, and finally cheapened the savage.

"You found it on them??" Raymond asked, looking up.

"Yes......," the savage replied.

"Brother, you're too humorous...... It's true. Raymond muttered.

Dio and Gordon also smiled bitterly, unexpectedly, there was a big oolong, they were looking for the mining area, but the wild man actually brought them to find the corpse.

"We're still late. Dio frowned and said, "Someone has already discovered it." ”

"Well, the location of the mine, should have been leaked?" said Gordon.

Dio nodded, "We'll have to speed up, at least before more people find out there." ”

Gordon sighed: "It seems that it is impossible to monopolize it, I am really a little unwilling." ”

"Let's go, don't waste time here. Dio was the first to jump out of the pit, and smiled at Gordon as he got on the horse: "What's unwilling, after the news spreads, I'm afraid that even the Marquis of Sain can't control the situation, what can we do with just a few of us? Don't think so much, you can get some benefits from going over earlier, if it's a little later, it is estimated that there will be nothing." ”

Several people walked in the direction of the mine, but Raymond, who had always talked a lot, fell silent at this time, as if thinking about something.

At first, Dio and Gordon hadn't noticed it, but after a long time, they both felt a little strange, this can also be regarded as a kind of habitual surname, Raymond is always chattering when the two of them are annoying, but once there is no Raymond's voice, it is really a little uncomfortable, and I always feel that something is missing.

"Hey, Raymond, what are you thinking?" Gordon popped a little spark out of his finger and shot straight at Raymond, the spark gradually expanding as it flew into a fist-sized ball of fire.

"Huh?" Raymond awoke from his musings and looked up at Gordon, but he was greeted by a blazing flame, and he was caught off guard before he could release the Rock Guard, and he fell off his horse with a backward lean.

"......" Gordon obviously didn't expect such a result, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Raymond, who had risen from the ground, stared at Gordon with a grim face, his face pale.

"Uh...... Raymond, you see, it's just a misunderstanding......" Gordon said with a dry smile, but such pale language obviously couldn't impress Raymond.

Raymond didn't say a word, his body lit up with a golden light, and it seemed that he was ready to fight Gordon.

"Don't make a fuss. Dio hurriedly stopped: "Raymond, what were you thinking just now?"

Raymond also knew that time was pressing now, and it would be a little bad to delay the time because of his mess with Gordon, so he could only glare at Gordon hatefully and jump on the war horse again.

"Dio, you just said that as long as the news leaks out, the Marquis of Sain here will not be able to control the situation?"

"That's for sure, the Marquis's strength is still a little inferior compared to these superb star fragments. Dio looked at Raymond, unable to figure out why he had suddenly asked the question.

"So in other words, we have to give up this mining area to others in the end, right?"

"Do you need to ask? It would be nice to get some benefits in advance, Raymond, it's not a good thing to be too greedy. Dio smiled, and then suddenly realized something, and slowly asked: "Raymond, what do you mean......"

"It's not a question of greed or not, since we can't get it, then what's the reason for them to get it easily?" Raymond smiled and continued: "What's more, if the mining area is big enough, then no one force can eat it alone, and it won't hurt us to muddy the water, maybe in the end, we will be the biggest winners." ”

The first time they heard Raymond speak in this tone, Dio and Gordon were a little surprised, and Gordon said thoughtfully: "Raymond, should you ...... Want to ask your family for help?"

In fact, Gordon's words didn't come out of his mouth, like this kind of battle around the best star fragment mining area, not any family can change the situation if they join, if Raymond really wants to involve his own family, I'm afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses at that time.

"Home?" Raymond glanced at Gordon and smiled, "It's too early to say that, let's get there and see the size of the mine." ”

Gordon was very dissatisfied with Raymond's attitude of wanting to talk and stopping: "If you have something to say, if you have a fart, what are you going to do?"

"Gordon. Raymond sighed: "Don't you think this cake is too big? At least for us, there is only one result of wanting to eat it, and that is to be strangled." ”

"If you know, why bother with other thoughts, isn't it as bad as Dio said?" Gordon was puzzled by Raymond's words.

Raymond smiled: "It's because it's so big that I saw an opportunity in it, Gordon, even if you don't say it, I know that you are a good mix in Sky City, and you should have your own helper." ”

Gordon's face changed, and he was about to say something, but he was interrupted by Raymond's wave: "Listen to me first, I can also find some people at home, Gordon, you know what I mean, right?"

Gordon was silent for a while before he slowly spoke, "You mean...... United?"

"Why not?" Raymond asked rhetorically, "Since you've all decided that this mining area won't be ours sooner or later, you might as well give it a try, and maybe by then, we'll get more than we thought." ”

Gordon shook his head: "Raymond, since you know the Sky City, then you should have heard that they will not easily interfere in this kind of thing, especially if they join forces with outsiders." ”

"You didn't hear me, I was talking about the helpers that 'you' could find, and I didn't ask you to mobilize the army of Sky City. Raymond said with some amusement.
