084 Gold mines

"How are you feeling right now?" Looking at the ginseng essence in front of him, Liang En asked in a low voice after approaching. "Is there anything uncomfortable about ingesting this energy from the outside world?"

"It feels good." Tutu took a deep breath and replied through the soul connection, "I will build you a medicine garden as promised, a medicine garden full of vitality."

"Thank you very much, but let's not talk about that for now." Liang En pointed to the sailboat moored on the beach not far away. "I'm going to go around this island and see how my island is, and it would be great if you could help me."

"No problem, I'll do everything in my power to help you." Tutu spread out his hands with a human touch, and apparently through soul connection, he learned a lot of Liang En's habits.

For the rest of the trip, the two men took a boat along the coastline all the way north and then turned east, stopping their boats from time to time to go ashore to gather intelligence.

As soon as he came ashore, the soil that had been quiet on the boat came alive, running back and forth around Liang En, and finding some traces of herb growth in the land that looked indistinguishable from the surroundings.

Ginseng, gentian, burdock, zhimu, parsnip, yellow essence, jade bamboo, all kinds of authentic good medicinal materials are constantly being dug up, because the inaccessible people, the local medicinal materials are very good in both number and quantity.

Therefore, when Liang En sailed to the north of the island, the space ring was already packed with a lot of medicinal materials in different categories, which was the result of his repeated selection.

"What are we looking for today?" After the boat traveling along a small river could not pass through the place, he looked at the valley in front of him and asked curiously. After several days of traveling, it discovered that Liang was supposed to be verifying something.

Because every time he stopped at a place, Liang En would take out a map for comparison, and at the same time constantly mark those places that are different from the map on the map.

But it's curious, where did Liang get these maps? Because it has only seen one or two intelligent beings in its hundreds of years of memory, only one of them is a native indigenous human, and the other time it is either a wolf or a bear.

As intelligent beings, they sometimes draw maps, but only simple dots or lines on tree bark or animal leather, never the kind of detailed maps that Liang En has.

The map in Liang En's hand is a detailed map obtained from modern times, but the time gap of hundreds of years and the existence of extraordinary power make the same area of the two worlds present different landforms.

Fortunately, for some reason that Liang En didn't know, the difference between the two islands was not as big as he imagined, at least most of the locations that Liang En investigated were not very different from the intelligence.

"Coal, copper, iron, lead, geothermal, wood, we've all found them, so we're going to find something more valuable today."

Liang En looked around while answering the ginseng essence question, although the ten days of searching work could only give them a taste of the surface, but they were already able to formulate a development plan for this.

"And now I'm looking for something more appealing, so that when I get out of the way to eat, I can recruit more people."

The river where Liang and the others are now located is called the Nagisa River in another world, and if you drive south along this river, you will see the third largest gold mine in the history of Japan in the other world, the Konomai Gold Mine.

Historically, the mine was mined from 1917 until 1973. Over the course of 56 years, 73 tonnes of gold and 1,200 tonnes of silver were mined.

This figure may not be obvious to the general public, but the famous Sado Gold Mine, which is also the second largest gold mine in Japanese history, has mined a total of 78 tons of gold and 2,330 tons of silver in 400 years.

Liang En believed that the princes in the court must not know about the existence of this gold mine, otherwise they would not have handed over the development of this land to themselves-

This is also the reason why he decided to develop the gold mine after a while, because he is not strong enough to make a sufficient profit on the gold mine.

The sites we've explored before are different, because they're in the northern part of the island and the temperature is dropping all the time, so the mountains look a little desolate, and from a distance they look like monsters lying there.

Because there is no activity of intelligent beings, the desolate valley reflects the wildest side of nature. Except for the occasional sound of beasts, the only thing was the wind that blew through the treetops.

"Wait! Look—" Just as Liang En continued to advance upstream along the river with Tutu, Tutu suddenly stopped Liang En, and then pointed to the calm section of the river next to him.

In an instant, the golden light came into Liang En's eyes, and the entire river bottom was covered with a layer of golden sand, which looked as if the entire river bottom was covered with gold.

"Shhh

"Be careful!" Just when Liang En was surprised by the gold at the bottom of the river, Tutu suddenly chopped the ground with his foot and issued a warning, and at the same time, the roots on his body also floated, as if they had been fried.

"Bang-"

After a sound without warning, the mud splashed seven or eight meters in front of Liang En, and a tattered body suddenly came out of the ground, twisted its body to a strange angle, and threw itself on all fours.

The speed of the opponent was like lightning, but as soon as he pounced two or three meters, he suddenly paused and fell into mid-air.

It was at this time that Liang En found that dozens of tendrils were wrapped around the other party's legs and dragged the monster to death, so that the monster could not take a step forward at all.

"Go—"

With a flick of his right hand, a cyan sword light roared out and cut the monster in two, and the fierce sword qi instantly wiped out all the power contained in the monster's core.

The monster that had lost the strength in its body collapsed to the ground in an instant, and the skeleton and the carrion that had been attached to it scattered and shattered to the ground, and it was impossible to even see its original appearance.

For safety reasons, Liang unleashed the Sun Fire to burn the rotten flesh, and as the flames reduced the corpses to ashes, a white figure made of light appeared above the corpses and bowed to Liang En before vanishing.

After making sure that the enemy had been completely cleansed, he stepped forward to inspect the scene, and soon found a clue in what had been dug out of the ground with the summoned roots of the earth:

A palm-sized piece of tanned leather and the lines on it testify to the identity of the other party's indigenous people, while another rough dagger made of gold proves that local gold is indeed abundant.

It's a pity that everything else is completely decayed, so Liang En can't judge more information, the only thing that is certain is that there should be a tribe nearby, and has discovered and learned to process and use gold.

"I hope there won't be any conflict in a while." Liang En thought.

After all, judging from the equipment of the other party, gold is a very important resource for the natives, and they are likely to make some unfriendly moves to outsiders in order to keep this secret.
