Chapter 172: Peerless Cold Crystal

The south is already hotter than the north, and now that it's summer, standing on the top of the mountain, you can feel the blazing sun.

Geng Kai held a sunshade fan and kept covering the top of Zhen Qing's head to avoid stunting the delicate chairman.

However, standing on the edge of the mine, the cold air emanating from the pit made everyone feel exhausted, and Zhen Qing even shivered.

Looking further down the pit, they looked at each other.

I saw that at the bottom of the pit, a layer of white powder was condensed.

And the closer you get to the bottom, the more noticeable and thick the layer of powder becomes, and it feels like a layer of white foam.

"What's that? It won't be ......"

Zhen Qing exclaimed, but she was embarrassed to say the rest of the words.

Because in her opinion, the powder really resembled hoarfrost, or even ice slag.

Hoarfrost and ice slag are rarely seen in the wild in the south, even in winter.

But what was in the refrigerator was that Zhen Qing was not so bad that he couldn't recognize these two things.

But what time of year is it?

How is it possible for hoarfrost and ice slag to be exposed to the blazing sun without melting?

So she's embarrassed to say it's complete.

But even if she didn't finish it, everyone still understood what she meant.

"Chairman Zhen guessed correctly, that is hoarfrost and ice slag!"

Dong Cheng replied, "You should feel this chill, right?" The further you go to the bottom of the pit, the thicker the chill becomes, so there is hoarfrost at the top, and the bottom is full of ice slag. ”

"But...... Why is this happening? Zhen Qing exclaimed.

"We don't know either!"

Dong Cheng shook his head, "I've been in the mine for almost ten years, and I've never encountered such a strange scene, plus there was a big accident yesterday, and the workers were scared, so they didn't dare to continue digging." ”

At this time, there was not even a single worker at the bottom of the pit, and all the workers stood around the edge of the pit, talking to each other.

Naturally, there will be superstitious references to "disasters from heaven" and so on.

Hu Yiheng had also never encountered such a scene, so he could only turn his face to look at Meng Hao, and asked cautiously: "Master Meng, what do you think is going on?" ”

As soon as Meng Hao saw such a scene in the mine, he had already silently calculated in his heart.

Then he was ecstatic to discover that the spirit creature he had repeatedly intuitively perceived was not an ordinary species, but a mineral called Cold Crystal.

This kind of cold crystal has been recorded in ancient books, and it is said that it can exude a cold air, even if it is only a small piece the size of a ping-pong ball, it can directly freeze an adult.

But cold crystal is rare, and there are not many people who have seen this thing from ancient times to the present.

However, under this pit, there are not only one or two cold crystals, but thousands of large and small cold crystals, forming a small mine.

It's like a crystal mine.

The reason why Meng Hao was ecstatic was because the coldest environment formed by the cold crystal was an excellent place to practice the Starry Sky Huan Body Technique.

Moreover, the kind of cold qi emitted by the cold crystal is also a powerful spiritual power in itself, as long as he can absorb these cold qi in a few days, it can be more useful than hundreds of formed He Shou Wu.

But he couldn't tell Hu Yiheng the truth about these words, so he could only shake his head and say: "This chill is so strong, I'm afraid that if I dig any further, most people will freeze, and ...... Something unimaginable is bound to happen! ”

"What then?"

Hu Yiheng was anxious all of a sudden, "Master Meng, you must think of a way!" All our hopes of Mingyu Industry are on this mine, once the mine has a problem and cannot continue to produce jade, Mingyu Industry will almost be abandoned! ”

Meng Hao thought about it for a while, and then said: "In this way, let the ordinary workers evacuate this place and go to clean up the other mines first, you gather people who are strong and have preferably practiced martial arts, go down with me, follow my instructions, dig a small pit with your bare hands first, and wait until you figure out what is going on!" ”

Hu Yiheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly waved at Meng Hao, and said, "Fortunately, Master Meng is here!" Qingsong, hurry up and find someone! ”

Gao Qingsong agreed and discussed it with Dong Cheng.

After that, the ordinary workers were left first, leaving only five tall and experienced workers.

In addition, Gao Qingsong, Dong Cheng, and the other three cadres present today went out in person, and a total of ten people each carried shovels and pickaxes and other excavation tools, and followed Meng Hao down to the bottom of the pit.

Meng Hao inspected the situation at the bottom of the pit a little, and then pointed to dig in the southwest direction, about forty-five degrees down.

The ten people were all strong and able-bodied, and Meng Hao was beside them, telling them which angle to use the shovel and pickaxe to save effort, so although it was a freehand operation, the digging speed was not too slow.

Occasionally, when encountering large stones, Meng Hao would also do it himself.

Everyone saw that he was thin and thin, and it could be said that standing with the ten of them was simply weak.

But with every stretch of his hand, he could lift the boulder with ease.

Ten people were speechless, especially Gao Qingsong and Dong Cheng, when they thought of trying his kung fu before, the two of them felt their scalps tingle.

And as the pit gets deeper and deeper, the cold becomes more and more pressing.

A few big men couldn't bear it, so they had to ask the people on the top of the mine to find cotton clothes and pants to put on.

But after digging down for a while, even if they were wearing cotton clothes and cotton pants, all ten of them were so cold that their lips were blue and their faces were pale.

Even Meng Hao had to resist with his luck, so he had to let all ten people go up, leaving him alone to continue digging.

Gao Qingsong and the others were really frozen, and after hearing what Meng Hao said, they hurriedly exited along the small pit that had just been dug.

It wasn't until they were outside that a few people felt the chill subside.

When Zhen Qing saw a few of them coming out, he hurriedly asked Meng Hao how he was.

Gao Qingsong said: "It's too cold down there, and a few of us are about to freeze into popsicles, so Master Meng asked us to come up first, and he stayed down alone to continue digging!" ”

Zhen Qing was a little worried, but thinking about Meng Hao's ability, there should be no problem, so he reluctantly let himself settle down, and only asked Hu Yiheng: "Boss Hu, what's going on?" Why is the temperature down there like this? ”

"I don't know, it's really something that has never been heard of!" Hu Yiheng said.

Several men fell silent again, all staring at the bottom of the pit.

Gao Qingsong and the others took off their cotton clothes and pants, and to see that it was not early, Gao Qingsong asked: "Dad, Chairman Zhen, it's already past noon at this time, why don't we stay here, and you two go down for lunch first?" ”

"Ah Hao didn't come up, how can I eat it!"

Zhen Qing shook his head.

Unexpectedly, her voice fell, and she suddenly felt a slight vibration, and at the same time, a sharp chill rushed straight up from the bottom of the mine, like countless invisible sharp knives, scraping everyone's faces.

Zhen Qing was caught off guard and screamed "ouch", and couldn't help but fall backwards.

Fortunately, Geng Kai beside her has been helping her hold the sunshade fan, and hurriedly reached out to hold her, which didn't let her gurgle and roll down the mountain.

Zhen Qing only felt the chill to her bones, as if she had suddenly walked into the cold winter wearing a thin shirt.

But she didn't care about these at all, she just turned pale and blurted out: "Ah Hao...... Ah Hao is still down there! ”
