Peng Shuai did not answer Wang Lung immediately, but asked with a slight smile: "How many places do you think there are still in the mining area that can be excavated?" Seeing that Wang Lung was a little puzzled, Peng Shuai added: "I mean the entire mining area." ”

"The whole mining area?" Wang Lung lowered his head and muttered to himself after listening, he had understood, this mining area is very large, it occupies half of the Gleeth Star, saying that most of the ground above and below the Gleth Star has been hollowed out, it is definitely not alarmist, if there is an earthquake, I am afraid that a large area will collapse.

There is this mining area on the planet of Glos, although the area is large enough, but there will always be a day when the mining will be finished, although Wang Lung does not know when the mining area began to excavate, I believe that until now, even if there is still a place to mine in the mining area, it is very pitiful.

After all, from the analysis of the conversation between Elder Tong and He Xiong, the ore harvested could no longer meet the needs of the tribe, less than a hundred, which means that there are very few places that can be continuously excavated.

After thinking about it, Wang Lung looked up at Peng Shuai and said, "If I didn't miscalculate, in this mine, I am afraid that the place that can be mined will not last for a hundred years." ”

Peng Shuai smiled and shook his head and said: "You are wrong, in fact, as early as 10,000 years ago, this mining area has been completely hollowed out, and this is no longer a mining area, but an abandoned mining area." ”

"Abandoned mining area, what do you mean by that? Since it is abandoned, why do you want to come here, can the ore here grow on its own?" Wang Lung was shocked by the other party's words, and a series of questions were directly thrown out.

Peng Shuai still shook his head and said: "How can ore be so easy to form, and it is helpless to come here to mine." Seeing that Wang Lung had been staring at him, Peng Shuai sighed lightly and continued: "Come to think of it, you should know that there is only one mining area on our planet, and our giant clan's demand for ore is very amazing, if there is no ore. I'm afraid we won't be able to survive. As far as I know, it took no more than 50,000 years from the discovery of this mining area to the excavation of the mine, that is, within these tens of thousands of years, our giant clan only had the current development, tens of thousands of years ago. There is only one tribe of our giant clan, with less than 100,000 people, and now, the ore has almost been consumed, and the end of our giant clan is coming. ”

Obviously, Peng Shuai is slightly lacking in language organization, and his speech is not in any order, Wang Lung listened to it in a fog, fortunately Wang Long's patience is not bad, wait for Peng Shuai to finish speaking. Only then did he know the reason.

It turns out that although the giant clan is the dominant race of the Gleth Star, it has been struggling to survive tens of thousands of years ago, and the population has increased very slowly, and it is extremely difficult to survive with the giant beasts for survival territory.

About 60,000 years ago, one of the elders of the Giants discovered ores buried deep underground, and those ores contained an incredible energy. It can protect the tribe from the invasion of behemoths.

Since then, the Giants have been digging for ore on a large scale. At that time, their population was small, and the ore was enough for the tribe to consume, but as time progressed, the Giant Clan developed greatly, and the population continued to increase, according to Peng Shuai. There are now a hundred tribes of giants, each of which is about the same size, and each tribe numbers about a million.

No matter how big the mining area is, there will be a day when it is excavated, 10,000 years ago. When the giants discover that they can no longer find a significant amount of ore in the mining area, they finally realize that a crisis is beginning to come.

These are not enough to explain why they still come to the mining area to dig ore, the reason is actually very simple, when the mining area has not been hollowed out, the giants can be described as very rough mining ore, they thought that the ore is inexhaustible, and they do not care about the ore that is not easy to excavate, so there is still a small amount of ore hidden in the mining area, which requires them to excavate.

After Peng Shuai's explanation, Wang Lung finally understood, this mining area is already a semi-abandoned place, each tribe has a year of mining time, as for how many ores can be found, it is completely by luck, 10,000 years ago, the mining area has been excavated, after such a long time of mining, each time can find less and less ore, until recent years, a year of mining is at most more than 100 pieces, this amount of ore is simply pitiful for a tribe, and it can resist the invasion of a giant beast, if you are unlucky, you can't even dig a hundred pieces, then the tribe may face the danger of extinction。

It's not so much mining as panning, just like harvesting crops with a combine harvester now, once the harvester passes, although it can harvest most of the crops, but there are still some fragments scattered on the ground, and now miners are just picking up bits and pieces.

"I think you understand what I just said, we'll be very convenient with you. ”

Wang Lung nodded and said: "I am relatively small, the original mined stones should be scattered everywhere, if you want to pan for mines, you have to move those ordinary stones, little by little to find, but I can rely on my body to shuttle between those stone crevices, so that I can reduce a lot of time, and the probability of finding ore will be greatly increased." ”

Peng Shuai nodded and said, "Yes, this convenience was also told to me by the elders, so in the next period of time, I still need you to contribute more." ”

Wang Lung chuckled and said: "It's nothing, the purpose of my coming here is to find more ores, since there is such a convenient means, why not use it, but I have some worries, I hope you can help answer it." ”

"As I said earlier, if there is anything you can ask, the elder asked me to cooperate with you as much as possible. ”

Wang Lung nodded and said: "After all, there is a great danger in groping forward in the pile of rocks, my body is weak, what if those rocks suddenly fall down, even if I don't die, I will be seriously injured, before I came in, I saw that those miners who just left, there are many people who have some injuries on their bodies, according to the physical fitness of your giants, they can be injured in the case of looking for ore, let alone me?"

"Hehe, what do I think, you can rest assured of this, not to mention whether those messy stones will collapse out of thin air, even if they collapse, you don't have to worry about your own safety, but I heard Luthor say that your physical strength is very good, and one or two stones will not pose any threat to you. Seeing that Wang Long's expression was not good, Peng Shuai changed his words and said, "The elder has already thought about this problem, and he asked me to give this thing to you." ”

Wang Lung took the thing handed over by Peng Shuai and saw that it was an egg-sized bead. The tentacles are soft, and they contain light yellow silk, fluorescent circulation, which is very good-looking, and Wang Lung looked at it carefully for a long time and didn't know what the purpose of this bead was.

For a long time, Wang Lung looked up at Peng Shuai in a daze, and he knew that Elder Dao Tong asked Peng Shuai to hand over this thing to himself. It must be of great use, you don't have to open your mouth, Peng Shuai will also say it directly.

Sure enough, seeing Wang Long's puzzled eyes, Peng Shuai slowly said: "This is an earth escape pearl, if you really encounter trouble, you can escape with this pearl." ”

"What is the purpose of this thing?" asked Wang Long, puzzled.

"This Earth Escape Bead is completely a chicken rib for us giants, mainly because it is too small, and the aura it can release can't even cover one of my arms. But you are different, you only need to pinch this bead lightly, it will automatically release an earthy yellow aura to cover your whole body, after the aura covers, you can easily walk freely through the underground and stone walls, without worrying about being crushed by the rocks. Peng Shuai said lightly.

Seeing that Wang Lung looked down at the Tu Dun Bead again, Peng Shuai groaned for a while and then spoke again: "There is one thing you have to pay attention to, this Tu Dun Bead is not unrestricted. You should not use this bead as soon as you enter a pile of rubble, it is best to use it when you are in trouble. I think you have also seen that there are not many yellow silks in this bead, and the elder asked me to tell you that the earth escape bead can be activated up to three times, and each time should not exceed one minute, although the time is less. But within a minute is enough to get you to safety. ”

Wang Lung nodded and didn't speak, he wanted to test the effect of Tu Dun Zhu, but when he heard Peng Shuai's warning, the strength in his hand could only be helplessly stopped, three chances. As long as you're not too unlucky, there shouldn't be any problem.

After putting away the Tu Dun Pearl, Wang Lung turned his gaze to Peng Shuai and continued to ask: "Now that I have the Tu Dun Pearl, I am also a lot more relieved, but there is one more thing, should we explain, that is, whose harvest is the ore found?"

Peng Shuai nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, the ore you found is your own, and others dig it by themselves, there are all kinds of stones scattered in the mining area, I'm afraid you can't be busy, you don't have to worry about us robbing you." ”

Wang Lung said lightly: "That's good, I don't have any problems, I'll look for you when I have any problems in the future." ”

Seeing that Wang Lung no longer asked questions, Peng Shuai nodded at Wang Lung slightly, and got up to leave, but as soon as his body stood up, Wang Lung's voice came from his ears: "You are also a cultivator?"

Peng Shuai glanced down at Wang Lung with a smile, shook his head slowly, and didn't say anything.

Seeing that the other party turned around and left without intending to defend himself, Wang Lung looked at the other party's back and shook his head helplessly, and then closed his eyes.

There was no light in the mine, and I didn't know if it was day or night outside, and when Wang Lung opened his eyes, someone had already woken up from his sleep, including Peng Shuai.

Facing Peng Shuai's eyes, smiling and nodding at each other, without saying anything, Peng Shuai got up and beckoned his team members to wake up quickly and handed over a leather bag to everyone, which was used to hold clear water.

Everyone drank a little water and slowly walked to the depths of the mine under the leadership of Peng Shuai.

In Elder Tong's words, although there are a lot of scattered stones at the place where the entrance is located, there is no ore to excavate, and it has long been turned over many times.

In this regard, Wang Lung did not think so, if all the tribes had such an idea, then the deepest part of the mine cave had been turned over countless times, and the chance of finding the ore was very small, and it was not much different from the entrance.

After telling Peng Shuai what he wanted in his heart, the other party just smiled and didn't say anything, until Wang Lung and they walked nearly a hundred miles before they found that there might be some problems with their estimates, because the location they are now in is exactly the place where several passages are connected, and the number of passages is completely beyond Wang Lung's imagination, he roughly counted it, there are at least more than thirty.

Peng Shuai asked everyone to stop, observed each passage for a long time, and finally confirmed a passage, and beckoned everyone to follow with a finger of his hand.

Walking beside Peng Shuai, Wang Lung asked puzzledly: "Why did you choose this passage for Lu, can't other passages work?"

Peng Shuai shook his head and said: "There are traces of people walking through other passages, some of those traces are clearly identifiable, and some have almost disappeared, since there are traces to follow, it just shows a problem, those passages have been patronized by miners from other tribes in recent years." ”

"Because of that, do you think no one has ever entered this passage?" Wang Lung continued.

Peng Shuai said: "That's not it, no matter which passage it is, it has been entered by other people, but the traces of this passage have almost disappeared, that is, this passage has not been patronized for at least decades." ”

Wang Lung nodded as if he had realized, followed everyone to the passage, and before he went far, several piles of rocks appeared in front of everyone, Peng Shuai waved his hand when he saw this, and asked everyone to stop first, so he walked to a pile of rocks again, and looked around it, and it didn't take long for Peng Shuai to walk back, looking at his expression, as if there was something unhappy.

"This place has just been turned over, I think it is the last group of people, there are traces of turning around, there is no need to pan here, let's go. After Peng Shuai finished speaking, he ignored everyone's suspicious gazes, turned around and walked into the distance.

Seeing this, Wang Lung hurriedly ran two steps and walked in front of Peng Shuai and asked, "Didn't you say that no one has been here in this passage for decades, what is ......it for?"

Before Wang Lung could finish speaking, Peng Shuai interrupted: "The passages here are connected to each other, extending in all directions, and there are hundreds of passages that can enter this place, and others may come from other passages. ”

Seeing Wang Long's brows furrowed slightly, Peng Shuai continued: "Don't worry, there are places for you to dig, and you will know the way in a while." (To be continued......)
