Chapter 160: The Stone Crusher

Both of them were disappointed at first glance, the bandit didn't dig up the rough stone at all, and her Black Death just dug up a strange thing.

"What is this?" Chu Jun looked at the contents of the pit, his eyes full of doubts.

Li Xiu was also looking at the thing, but he didn't see what it was.

The Black Death had just dug a pit more than three meters deep, and there was a red ball about the size of the big yoga ball that the woman used to practice yoga.

The orbs were not artificial, and were covered in scales, though the scales looked more like metal.

If you want to say that this is a demon spirit, several people didn't sense the aura of a demon spirit on it, Chu Jun has inspiration skills, if it was a demon spirit, he should have discovered it early in the morning.

If it weren't for the Demon Spirit, what was it? A new species not found on Earth? Or is it something made by humans?

The bandit commanded the Black Dead to move things out, and the three of them looked at it carefully for a while, but they didn't come up with a reason.

There were no gaps in the ball, which ruled out the possibility that something had shrunk into a ball in the first place.

They hadn't heard of any creature with scales on its eggs, and how big could it be to lay such a big egg? Even if the dinosaurs were resurrected, it was hard to say whether they would be able to lay such big eggs.

"Is it man-made? Who would build such a thing, and what's the use of burying it here? Chu Jun touched the scales of that thing, and he didn't feel anything when he got it, and the texture was similar to normal metal.

"You say, is it possible that this is a fruit?" The bandit groaned.

"Fruit? What fruit can grow so deep underground? Chu Jun felt that the bandits were just whimsical.

"Maybe I'm wrong, I mean, could it be a plant, like a lotus root buried in the mud, and a sweet potato or something." The bandit explained.

"You'll have to cut it open to see." Chu Jun felt that it was unlikely, whose fruit had a metal shell on the outside and scales.

After studying it for a long time, I didn't figure out what it was, and finally decided to cut it open and take a look.

The three of them ran far away, hiding behind a big rock, and Chu Jun controlled the dark blue knight to slam the metal ball on the ground with a sword.

With a bang, the metal ball was smashed by the sword of the dark blue knight and rolled out, but it was not damaged.

"Becoming an Immortal"

"It's so hard, it doesn't look like it's a fruit." Chu Jun was talking about it, when he suddenly saw that the thing actually moved by itself.

The scales on the outside of the metal ball folded down and contracted one by one, revealing what was inside.

The inside turned out to be the same scales, and when the outermost scales folded and shrunk to the bottom of the sphere, the second layer of scales also began to fold and shrink downward.

Layer upon layer, this thing is like an onion, peeling off layer after layer of scales, but the inside is still the same scale structure.

"It's more than a dozen layers, how can this thing be more than layers of onions? What the hell is it? Chu Jun stared at the metal ball, which was already about the size of the blue ball, and said with a strange expression.

"I want to know what it is, and I won't hide here." Li Xiu stared at that thing and said.

The metal scales peeled off several more layers, and the layers of scales folded and piled up below formed a cylinder, which looked like a pineapple, and the sphere on top of it continued to peel off the scales.

Finally, after the last layer of scales folded down, the three of them were surprised to find that among the layers of scales, inside was a fist-sized, jelly-like translucent white sphere.

Ah Bandit suddenly seemed to think of something, pointed to the thing and said: "I remember, just now I thought this thing looks like a fruit, you see this thing looks like a large lychee, but the skin on the outside is thicker, and the flesh on the inside." ”

When A Bandit said this, Li Xiu and Chu Jun really felt a little similar, but the skin of this product was thick and the flesh was less, and such a big thing was peeled off layer by layer, leaving only the flesh the size of a fist.

"This thing can't really be a fruit, can it?" Chu Jun swallowed his saliva.

"You'll find out if you try it." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"How to taste? The devil knows if it's a fruit or not, but if it's a fruit, what if it's poisonous? "Chu Jun is not stupid, how can he taste it.

Three people, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to be the first to eat crabs.

After waiting for a while, and seeing no danger, the three men came out from behind the boulder and came to the vicinity of the thing to take a look.

"I'll go, it still smells sweet of fruit, can't it really be a fruit?" Chu Jun got closer and sniffed it, and immediately shouted.

Li Xiu also sniffed it, nodded and said: "It's really a bit like the sweet smell of lychee, it seems to be mixed with the flavor of pears and bananas, maybe it's really a fruit species that hasn't been discovered yet, do you want to try it?" ”

"Forget it, it's too risky, let's continue mining, the demon spirit is unreliable, we dig like this, if there was a ruby mine in this valley, we should have dug it a long time ago." Chu Jun muttered.

No one dared to taste that thing, Li Xiu manipulated the demon spirit, got the thing to the corner next to it, and continued to dig a pit to find the ruby with the bandits.

Who knew that the ruby was not dug up, and after a while it was dug up again with that red ball.

The ruby was not dug up, but the red ball was dug up seven or eight, which made all three of them a little depressed.

The shell of these red balls is indeed quite hard, and Li Xiu plans to take them back for Ximen Guan to see, maybe they can be used as materials for magic costumes.

"It seems that nine times out of ten, we have been deceived by the king of the world, and there is no ruby mine in this place." Chu Jun was already tired just looking at the stones that had been dug up, and he sat down on the ground and said.

"That's not right, if the King of the World is really so scheming, it must have its purpose in tricking me into coming here, and it should be good for it. What good can we do by digging a hole here? Can't it be that it wants to eat fruit and trick me into coming here to dig up these fruits for it to bring back? Li Xiu felt that it should not be like this.

"So what do you say so? Do you want to keep digging? Chu Jun said.

"In this case, get all the demons here, let's dig a big hole in the depths, and if there is no more harvest, then go back." Li Xiu also felt that the chance of being able to dig up a ruby was probably not very large.

Several people got the demons into a pit and dug them down, some dug, some transported the excavated earth and stones, some picked up stones, some took out the garbage, and these demons worked non-stop, working harder than the sweatshop employees.

Peng!

When the big pit was dug more than twenty meters deep, a black death demon fell under his feet, as if he had stepped into the air, and suddenly disappeared, only to see a hole in the ground appear over there.

"No, could it be that there are cave spirits here?" Li Xiu was taken aback, and after making sure that there was no problem with the ground nearby, he hurriedly came to the edge of the cave.

When I looked down, I found that it was about two meters deep, and an authentic passage stretched on both sides.

Li Xiu jumped down and looked at both ends of the passage, and was immediately taken aback.

At one end of the passage, a huge creature was wriggling, it looked like a huge earthworm, but the outside of the body was covered with red scales, and it was constantly burrowing.

"What's next?" Chu Jun asked at the breach above.

Li Xiu hurriedly made a silent gesture, and then motioned for him to come down with the bandit.

After Chu Jun and Ah Bandit came down lightly, they saw the giant earthworm that was swallowing the earth and stone drilling hole, and their faces changed slightly.

It was like a burrowing machine, with its lotus-like mouthparts, constantly swallowing dirt and stones, and then the earth and stones were expelled from the holes at the back of the body, and the speed of burrowing was very fast.

That thing didn't seem to have found Li Xiu and them, and they kept drilling holes there.

Chu Jun hurriedly used the inspiration skill, and then lowered his voice and said to Li Xiu: "This thing is a demon spirit, its name is Stone Crusher, an A-level demon spirit. I guess there may be a gem mine here, but the rubies in the gem mines are probably filtered and swallowed by this goods, so we can't dig up rubies. ”

Li Xiu thought the same thing, and was about to summon the Jedi Knight to kill it, but saw the stone crusher suddenly stop.

The three of them thought that the stone crusher had spotted them, but who knew that after the stone crusher's body shook for a while, he squeezed out a red sphere from another relatively small hole in the back, and then continued to drill holes.

Li Xiu and the three of them looked at each other, feeling sick for a while.

No matter how you look at the red ball, it looks like the excrement of the stone crusher after eating it, thinking about the three of them smelling it so close just now, and saying that there is this fragrance, they all feel a little disgusting and want to vomit.

Li Xiu directly summoned the Jedi Knight to rush forward, and the Jedi chased after the body of the stone crusher, and slashed out with a bloody light, directly cracking the body of the stone crusher out of a big hole, and the body that was almost broken into two pieces could still move, struggling to escape.

This demon spirit is also strange, although its body is quite large, but it is not good at fighting, it was chased by the Jedi and cut its body into sections, and after a few cuts, this guy did not move at all.

As the Stonebreaker struggled to escape, he collapsed the tunnel, and the three of them dug up all the fallen earth and rocks before they found a magic core in its broken corpse.

That magic core is nothing, it's just an ordinary A-level magic core, and it doesn't even have a quality.

But in addition to the magic core, they also found a ruby in the body of the stone breaker.

"Is this a ruby?" Chu Jun's eyes widened, and he looked at the crystal ball in front of him in disbelief.

In fact, this crystal clear, it looks like there is no impurity, and the ruby-like ball is only the size of a basketball.

But if it is really a ruby, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as huge, such a ruby must weigh dozens of pounds, and compared with the ruby weighed in carats, it is a behemoth.

"It looks a bit similar, but such a big ruby, and so pure, I really haven't seen it before, and I haven't heard of it." Li Xiu looked at the ruby ball closely, and there was no inclusion in it, which was so pure that people couldn't believe it was a ruby.

"Let's get it back first, I don't know if there are other gravel crushers down here, if there are a few more of these things, it is estimated that this ruby mine should be almost finished, and it is impossible to dig up rubies again." Li Xiu said helplessly.

I thought I was finally going to have money, but I didn't expect it to be empty.

Now he could only hope that there were no other gravel breakers down there, and that the gem mines here hadn't been eaten.

Li Xiu himself didn't plan to dig anymore, so he went back and asked Sha Chu to find a few professional prospectors or gem hunters to come over and have a look.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiu still transported those red balls back with them, and asked Ximen Guan to inspect them to see what they were.

Although it is highly suspected that these red balls are the excrement of stone crushers, the scaly shell is more like metal, and it may be useful.

When Li Xiu held a ruby ball that was a little bigger than a basketball and placed it in front of Ximen Guan, Ximen Guan glanced at it, frowned and said, "Why did you get a glass ball." ”

"What a glass ball, it's ruby." Li Xiu said.

"Ruby, are you sure?" Ximen Guan looked at the ruby ball in disbelief, even if it was a synthetic ruby, it was not easy to get such a large size and this clarity.

"You'll find out if you test it." Li Xiu actually didn't have a bottom in his heart, and the ghost knew whether the ball on the body of the stone breaker was a ruby or not.

If it was really a ruby, Li Xiu felt that his trip was not in vain, just such a large ruby ball could be sold for a sky-high price.

Ximen Guan didn't believe that this thing could be a ruby at all, but after taking it for testing, he found that it was really a ruby, and there was no trace of artificial synthesis, and all the indicators were the same as natural rubies.

Ximen Guan thought that the test was wrong, so he personally adjusted the instrument, and re-tested it with several different kinds of instruments, and the result was still the same, this is a natural ruby, and it is pure and scary, with almost no impurities visible to the naked eye.

"How can there be such a big ruby?" Simon still couldn't believe it, but the test results were there, so he couldn't believe it.

"Where did you get such a natural ruby, this thing is very valuable, it is better to sell it and get some equipment back." Ximen Guan had no interest in gemstones, and only thought about taking them to change equipment.

"I'm still useful." Li Xiu immediately took the ruby ball back, joking, how could this thing be sold casually.

In order to comfort the Ximen official who was a little unhappy, Li Xiu asked Chu Jun and A Bandit, who were waiting outside, to bring in a large box, which was filled with those red metal balls.

"Old official, I found you some good things, you can see if you can use them." Li Xiu pointed to the red ball in the box and said.

"What is this?" Simon apparently didn't recognize what it was.

"Good stuff." Chu Jun manipulated the Black Death Demon and placed a metal ball on the table in front of Ximen Guan, and then smashed it hard against the metal ball.

In the next second, the scaly-like shell opened layer by layer, finally revealing the fist-sized, lychee-like flesh inside.

"Is this a man-made device? It doesn't look like it. It can't be some kind of plant, right? This is also not true. Simon approached the fleshy thing and sniffed it, as if thinking of something, and suddenly stretched out his finger, scraped it on it, and put some transparent liquid stuck to it, and then put it in his mouth.

This move made Li Xiu and the three of them disgusted, and they almost vomited on the spot.

After Ximen Guan tasted it, he showed excitement: "Where did you find this thing, this is a natural catalyst, which can be used for the refining of demon spirit materials, I have seen some in the Immortal Heaven before, and this is the taste." It turns out that the catalyst is extracted from this kind of thing, where did you get it? With this thing, I can save a lot of time when refining the Demon Spirit Wood. ”

"Ugh." Li Xiu and the three of them looked at each other, and no one spoke.

"What do you see, tell me quickly, this is a good thing, is there any of it, and will you be able to get it in the future?" Ximen asked anxiously.

"Yes, yes......" Li Xiu saw that Chu Jun and Ah Bandit were silent, completely ignoring his eyes, so he had to cough lightly and tell him the origin of this thing.

Originally, they thought that after listening to Ximenguan, there would be some uncomfortable psychological or physical reactions.

Who knew that after listening to this, Ximen Guan smiled suddenly: "For scientific and technological workers, we only have the constituent elements of matter in our eyes, and nothing else is important, let alone excrement, in order to study what I haven't tasted, you are really making a fuss." You can't let others get rid of such good things, you organize people to continue digging as soon as possible, and it's best to dig up all the leftovers for me. ”

"See, this is the profession, you all learn a little, don't always be surprised." Li Xiu is right to think about it, Ximen Guan has been imprisoned for decades, and he has done everything in a sink to eat, drink and Lazar, what is this, so he said to Chu Jun and A Bandit.

Chu Jun and A Bandit looked at Li Xiu with disdain, and he reacted the most just now.

"It's still the old official who has a pattern, but I'm superficial." Chu Jun took the initiative to admit his mistake to the Ximen official.

"You are still young, and it is normal that the pattern is not enough, so you can learn slowly in the future. Stop talking nonsense, let's organize people to dig it. The Simon officer urged them to hurry up and dig up the red metal balls.

After the three of them left, the old official closed the door, rushed into the bathroom like a fly, and vomited in it.

He ate and drank Lazar in a sink back then, but it was living water, he drank upper-stream water, Lazar was downstream, and it was his own thing, and he could accept it psychologically.

What's more, now that I'm used to living a good life, where can I suffer like that anymore.

Li Xiu asked Chu Jun and the bandits to dig up those metal balls, while he came to the construction site and went deep into the hole again in a ghost-faced demon costume.
