After breakfast, Ji Wenming negotiated with Ji Kui and Ji Kui, wanted to go out for a stroll, and by the way looked for five yuan strange things, of which Mu Yuan already had, and the remaining four yuan were missing, Ji Wen nodded, on the grounds of his inconvenient legs and feet, stayed in the village to concentrate on practice, and Ji Kui decided to follow Ji Wenming to act together.

Weishan is not far away, only fifty miles west of Linshui Village, where the terrain gradually becomes towering, many mineral resources will be exposed above the ground, and even Weishan is red throughout, looking at it from afar, it is very eye-catching.

Weishan is hundreds of zhang high, hundreds of miles long, the whole body is red, bare flowers and trees, standing on the high mountain outside Linshui Village, you can see it from afar, it is very peculiar.

With the strength of ordinary hunters' feet, they can walk back and forth in a day, and Ji Wenming and Ji Kui are more like a leisurely stroll, and they have already come to the foot of Weishan after a meal.

When I came here, I found that this mountain had been gnawed by the iron buffalo for more than ten miles, and there were traces of axe chisels and thunder splits everywhere.

Ji Wenming picked up a piece of mountain rock casually, only to see that the rock was bright red stone powder on the outside, crushed a piece, and found that the inside was pitch black, and it was heavy in his hand.

Seeing this, Ji Kui said happily: "Sure enough, it's hematite, look at this perfect metal flash rhombohedral crystal, it's really beautiful." However, more often than not, this crystal is often flat, and even forms a thin plate, and some samples are plate-like in clusters to form a rose-like shape, called an iron rose. Sometimes it is a scaly aggregate and is called mirror iron ore. This ore alone can be processed into rudimentary weapons for hunting!"

Ji Wenming pinched the pink stone powder in his hand and said, "Then why is the surface of these ores red?"

Ji Kui shook his head and said, "I can't say clearly, I'm afraid it's exposed to the ground, so it's been tempered by the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi!"

Ji Wenming was stunned, and said in confusion: "Tempered by the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, could it be said that these hematites can also cultivate?"

Ji Kui said: "I have heard the witch priest say before, minerals are originally the essence of heaven and earth, and it is not a big deal to be able to cultivate, plants can be psychic changes, and stones can also be channeled, not to mention these minerals? It's just that it takes a longer time for these heaven and earth essences to be psychic!"

Ji Wenming nodded thoughtfully and said, "Uncle Kui, I think these red powders should be very useful if they are used to record witch patterns!"

Ji Kui smiled: "Yes, the red pigment commonly used in the clan is made of hematite powder, but there are too few such ores, I didn't expect to find anything here!"

Ji Wenming inspected the ore, turned to look at the valley again, everywhere in the valley, three zhang square, more than half a foot high round giant cakes, in some places, round giant cakes even stacked together, under the sunlight, black and swarthy flickering cold light.

"This is the manure of the iron buffalo!" said Kui came to the side of the giant cake, stretched out his fingers and pulled up an arm-thick iron bar, and found that the thing had a spiral-like structure, extremely tough and heavy.

Ji Wenming found that such spiral giant cakes abound in the valley, and said with a smile: "If this thing is raised, it will definitely make a fortune! I didn't expect that the amount of food is not small, and the amount of excretion is even greater! Uncle Kui, I am a little curious, how does it digest these ores and turn them into refined iron feces? Could it be that its intestines and stomach are made of furnaces?

Ji Kui rubbed his chin, his beard stood upright, and he thought for a long time before he spoke: "That's a good question, but it's the wrong person, you should ask the Iron Buffalo!"

It seems that Ji Kui is not omniscient and omnipotent, Ji Wenming has some regrets, and he really has the urge to follow the iron buffalo at night to study its living habits, but think about that guy's height and strength, for the sake of his life, forget it!

Xi Wen's heart was as thin as silk, and he suddenly found that under the cow dung cake, in addition to the stones, there were many red-shelled insects living here, these eight-legged insects each had the length of a finger, and they could actually use fine iron as food, tear and devour it with their mouthparts, and then melt it into an iron ball, pushing it to run north.

Ji Wenming followed these strange insects all the way to a cave, and saw those insects pushing the refined iron pills into the hole, and couldn't help but wave his hand: "Uncle Kui, these insects are interesting, they can actually feed on refined iron, do you know what kind of insects they are?"

Ji Kui was banging in the valley, repairing buffalo dung, and making a large roll of these spiral-shaped dung strips, if this thing can be brought back to the tribe to create a hand-held weapon, the power must be not small, but unfortunately there is no furnace in the clan that can smelt fine iron, if you rely on your own hand polishing, I am afraid it will take more time! He was secretly worried, Xi Wenming suddenly asked, so he said very impatiently: "What is so beautiful about a few insects, they live on dung, but they are just some shells!"

Ji Wenming was looking for stones over there, laboriously pulling out the soil at the entrance of the cave, and while chasing the traces of those shells, he said happily: "Uncle Kui, these shells are really amazing, the feces of fine iron can also be digested, if we can understand the living habits of these insects, maybe we can also process these fine iron!"

Ji Wenming's words woke up Ji Kui, he was already very smart, otherwise he would not have become the leader of the Xia Hou clan's hunting team.

He slammed down the fine iron cow dung he was carrying on his shoulders and smashed it on the ground, but he no longer cared about these precious resources, but instead ran to Ji Wenming's side quickly, and said, "You say that these insects can eat and digest the fine iron??"

Ji Wenming nodded and said, "Yes, I saw them clump cow dung into balls and push them into this cave, I think there is a way to digest the refined iron!"

Ji Kui looked down, and sure enough, there were rows of beetles pushing the black metal balls into the hole, and he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Wen Ming, you have really made a great contribution to this discovery! You wait for me to shout the curse, I am not good at mineral processing, and there seems to be a secret method circulating in the witch sacrifice lineage, maybe it can really be used." ”

Ji Kui turned around happily, ran out of hundreds of zhang in the blink of an eye, and went back to Linshui Village to discuss with Ji Curse, leaving only Ji Wenming here alone, tirelessly digging this cave where countless shell insects were stored.

Ji Kui left, the wooden card of the king of Shen suddenly vibrate, a white shadow jumped out of the wooden card, appeared in front of Ji Wenming, the fox Xinyue stretched her waist, looked at Xi Wenming with a face full of resentment and said: "Big brother, I have been suffocated to death these days, those ginseng dolls love to mess around the most, Grandpa Shenwang only knows how to sleep, and he doesn't discipline them well, so that I was jointly teased by them, and almost picked my skin!"

Ji Wenming said apologetically: "Xinyue, I'm sorry, the uncles in the clan have been following me these days, and I forgot to let you out!"

Fox Xinyue said: "I already know, although there is a wooden card, but Grandpa Samwang has been paying attention to your traces, and I can't blame you for this, but you don't want to put me in the wooden card again in the future!"

Ji Wenming looked at the resentful fox Xinyue and grinned: "Okay, okay, you will follow me in the future, and I will tell the clan uncles that you are the pet I caught!
