Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 1145 Rich
"Shi Qing!"

Although it's called azurite, it's actually a blue mineral pigment. Moreover, it's extremely rare and highly valuable.

"Heavens, how could it be azurite!" Cheng Zi rushed to the side of the ore and with a forceful push, the stone with a crack split in two.

Shi Jia was startled, "Senior?!"

Cheng Zi was completely absorbed in the azure blue of Shi Qing, so much so that she didn't notice him at all. "So beautiful, oh my god!"

Others gathered around, drooling over the blue ore like perverts.

Shi Jia felt very uncomfortable being surrounded by them. "Ahem, everyone, why don't we spread out a bit? There are still a lot of ores here, you can mine them yourselves."

"What? A lot? Junior, you're not kidding?" Cheng Zi asked.

"Yes, didn't I just say that it's all here?" Shi Jia pointed around, pointing to the energy resonance he had discovered after picking up those few "blue sesame seeds."

"Senior, if you don't believe me, you can try hitting it yourself. Anyway, you guys have the hammer." Shi Jia shrugged.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly grabbed their hammers and ran towards the large rock nearby.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Boom~"

"It really is Shi Qing!"

"We've struck gold! We've struck gold!" Chen Yinong exclaimed excitedly.

"It's done, it's done!"

"It's rich! It's rich!"

"Snapped!"

"Sister Xue, why did you hit me?" Liu Zhan complained, feeling wronged.

Lu Tianxue rolled her eyes. "This open-pit mine was discovered by junior Shi Jia. What does it have to do with you?"

“But…” Liu Zhan wanted to say something, but Lu Tianxue glared at him.

Shi Jiake didn't intend to monopolize the entire mine. "No, this was discovered by us together. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here."

"So, it can't be counted as just my share, Captain Lu. You see, this mine is huge, and it won't be easy to develop it later," Shi Jia said with a smile. "I can't help at all. I just hope that when you develop this mine, Captain Lu, you won't forget my share."

Lu Tianxue was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I won't forget your share."

"Good brother!" Liu Zhan patted Shi Jia on the shoulder happily. "I'll never forget you if I get anything good in the future."

“Me too,” Huang Qi and Chen Yinong chimed in. Dai Yuxuan didn’t speak, but her eyes said it all.

“It’s getting late, let’s set up camp here.” Lu Tianxue decided immediately. “Yinong, Yuxuan, you two go find some wood nearby, but don’t go too far.”

"it is good."

“Huang Qi, you and I will set up the tent together, and let the three of them continue mining the ore.”

"it is good."

The area around the Shiqing Mine consisted only of rocks, with no soil and naturally, no plants. Moreover, there was an energy field within the Shiqing Mine, which prevented the turbid beasts and mutated plants from crossing the boundary. This allowed the Qinglan Team members, who had been worried all night, to finally breathe a sigh of relief as the sun rose the next day.

Before leaving, the Azure Team marked the ore deposit. Although the Shiqing Mine was not dangerous, it was still the habitat of Blue-Rank Turbid Beasts, so it was best to leave as soon as possible.

The group cautiously held their breath, using compasses as they traversed the tall forest, each step taken with utmost care. During their journey, they encountered two blue-tier beasts locked in combat.

The blue-tier turbid beasts were enormous, even larger than the dragon Shi Jia had seen before. The two turbid beasts fighting were quite different; one resembled a tiger, and the other a bull.

For example, the tiger had two horns and wings on its back, and the ox was covered in scales and had a tail like a scorpion's tail, segmented in sections.

When they encountered the two monstrous beasts, they were knocking down a cluster of towering trees. The falling of the trees caused the earth to shake violently. The surrounding wild animals were also terrified and scattered in all directions.

The members of the Azure Team quickly blended into the fleeing beasts and ran for ten kilometers before finally letting out a sigh of relief. But that breath immediately caught in their throats, neither coming out nor going down.

Because a herd of goat-like beasts were staring at them menacingly with red eyes.

"Mea~"

"Run!"

"Mea~"

Undoubtedly, an unusual battle was inevitable, but fortunately, there were only about fifty goats. Unfortunately, they were all green-rank goats, with one blue-rank goat among them!
Oops!

The exhausted Blue Team members were powerless to turn the tide... Wait! How come these goats are so weak! Three goats are no match for a wild boar!
There's always a way out; we can fight for another three days!

The leaves above Shi Jia's head swayed, concealing his merits and fame.

"Snap!" Lu Tianxue skewered the only remaining blue-scaled beast, signaling the official end of this "massacre".

"Hurry and collect the crystals, then leave immediately. We're still within the territory of the Azure-rank Turbid Beasts." With their strength, they can only feel safe once they return to the Green-rank Turbid Beasts' habitat. They'll only be safe once they're back in the Yellow-rank area.

Without delay, some replenished their energy, while others collected crystals. The four of them collected the fifty goats in less than five minutes.

Then came another fast run, and finally reached the green staircase area before sunset.

"Captain, this place is very close to our outpost. Why don't we go to the outpost and spend the night there?" Huang Qi said.

“Let’s go!” Lu Tianxue nodded. “It just so happens that junior Shi Jia hasn’t been there before.”

Chengzi then explained the purpose of the outpost to him. It turned out to be their campsite, which gradually developed into an outpost as they came there so often.

The outpost was a cave, the entrance of which was covered by huge rocks and vines. Outsiders would not be able to tell that it was a cave unless they looked carefully.

The cave was furnished quite comfortably, with separate spaces, a comfortable-looking living room, and a simple kitchen.

"Finally, I can rest for a bit. These past two days have been too dangerous!" Cheng Zi sat down in a chair as soon as she entered the cave.

The others also wore expressions of relief.

The only one who remained calm was Shi Jia. After entering the cave, he found a clean spot, took out the ore, and prepared to make mineral pigments.

"Junior, why are you so calm?" Cheng Zi asked, puzzled. Shouldn't the junior, a newcomer, be more panicked?

"Calm down? Are you alright?" Shi Jia asked, puzzled.

"What do you mean 'thank goodness'! We ran for two whole days and almost got eaten by the turbid beasts," Cheng Zi said excitedly. "I've been to the Black Zone more than fifty times and I've never encountered anything this dangerous."

Everyone nodded, and Liu Zhan chimed in, "Our luck really wasn't good this time."

Bad luck? Shi Jia looked at them with resentment, "But I've only been to the Black Zone three or four times, and all three times were very dangerous." The kind of times when I was on the verge of death.

The others immediately looked at him. "Junior, do you have some kind of bad luck?"

"How could that be! If I were unlucky, would I still be alive now?" Shi Jia disagreed.

"Besides, where was our luck bad this time? If we were unlucky, how could we have collected thousands of crystals? If we were unlucky, how could we have found precious azurite ore?" Shi Jia directly refuted with facts.

Everyone swallowed hard; what he said made perfect sense!

Shi Jia snorted, "I think we've been incredibly lucky this time. Not only did we get so many good things, but we didn't get hurt at all... Orange, your leg doesn't count."

An eerie silence fell over the crowd, as if it were the truth! This made it seem like their luck had been really bad before…

"Ahem, junior is right, we were really lucky this time," Lu Tianxue said with a smile. "Orange, since you have some free time now, take stock of the crystals and distribute them among everyone!"

"it is good!"
