Spirit Stone Hunter

In fact, there is no difference between looking for spirit stones outside and in the mine.It's just that in the mine, there are more waste materials from the past.

Because the walls of the mine have not been excavated for hundreds of years, and there is some natural weathering, it is basically impossible to see any exposed spiritual stones that can be excavated.And without understanding the structure of the ore body, they really didn't dare to dig again rashly.

But the results are always there. According to the tunnel distribution map, they explored the cave for two consecutive days and finally reached the control room of the underground mining area.

When the mining area was at its peak, it was easy to get there from the entrance of the mine to the control room by rail car. It took a lot of detours to get to this place.

In the past, this control room was used to dispatch the rail car transportation in the mine tunnel and monitor the working conditions in all the mine tunnels.Now there are only the broken display screens covered with spider webs and various fluorescent parasitic underground plants on the surrounding walls, and the control console that has long been riddled with holes.The lounge, kitchen, dining room, and other facilities have also become nests of snakes and insects, which look extremely weird.

It is completely impossible to get useful clues here.But there is absolutely no need to change the scene here, it is the perfect horror movie atmosphere.Ma Xiaotian and Mai Na really couldn't accept the appearance of this place.This is much scarier than a tunnel without much trace of human technology.Both of them had goosebumps.

Ma Xiaotian pulled Zhan Jiu's arm: "Brother Jiu, what are you doing here?"

Zhan Jiu looked at Huo Congting.Huo Congting immediately explained: "This is the center of the entire underground mine. A detection here can get the largest range of data around. Let's leave from the other side in a while. If the road is not blocked, we can go from three to three tomorrow night at the latest. Then you can go back. In this way, the exploration of the entire mining area will be completed. Now there are specimens of each mine site. After completing the vein structure map, all the tasks of this operation will be completed. "

Ma Xiaotian calculated the date, and it turned out that there was not much difference from the original plan.But these two days in the mine, he really felt very uncomfortable.No matter how good the materials are, they can't resist the darkness and the cold and dampness of the environment itself.The most important thing is that even if those small cave beasts and bugs won't approach them, it doesn't mean they can't see them.He really felt uncomfortable every day.And unlike camping outside, they can also set up tents and connect to water sources for bathing, which is definitely not possible in the cave.He just wants to soak in the tub right now, it's so hot and comfortable.

Unable to bear the appearance in the control room, Ma Xiaotian withdrew from the control room, and Ying Feng accompanied him on a "treasure hunt" near the end of the track.

In fact, neither spirit stones are piled up here nor stones will be transported here, and this is the place where people flow the most in the mine, even if there are things, they will be picked up.So the two of them had no hope at all.

But sometimes, the hopeless things are often easier to get than the things you really want.

Ma Xiaotian actually found a metal box in a collapsed part of the wall in the control room.At first, he thought it was an exposed instrument, but after pulling away the stones with a stick, he found that it was a very ordinary storage box.This discovery surprised both of them. They glanced at each other, and Ying Feng stepped forward to take out the box himself.

The outer skin of the box has been rusted, and the pattern of the past can hardly be seen. It used to have a combination lock, but I don’t know if it has been in the wall for hundreds of years. It is said to be a metal box, but with Yingfeng’s strength, the box was broken The lid and box body are separated.The thing exposed inside shook the eyes of the two of them.This is a box of rough amber stones of different colors, but the flesh is clearly exposed.

In fact, the raw material of amber skin that comes out of mining is far less than the material that is damaged and exposed.Some even fell from large chunks without any shell encased in shells.This box of rough stones is mostly like this.Moreover, the smallest ones must be more than ten grams, and there is a layer of dazzling light under their small light source.

"My God!" Ma Xiaotian picked up one of them, and against the background of the black thermal insulation clothing, this piece of amber body, which was originally slightly green, reflected a light green color, and the whole body was free of impurities, not even bubbles. To a.The shape is like an orange segment, but in fact, as long as it is slightly polished and polished, it is a beautiful pendant.This willow-green amber is a high-end variety second only to blood amber and sky blue amber. Like violets and chameleons, it is quite valuable in terms of high precision and weight.Ma Xiaotian knew the price of finished amber, this piece of willow green can be about 24 grams, at least eight or nine thousand.Whether it is for him before or for him now, it is quite valuable.What's more, there is a box of amber in different colors!

Ying Feng also felt very surprised.But he reacted immediately.Just ask Ma Xiaotian to put the box into the storage pouch. "Do not say."

Ma Xiaotian was very surprised. "Huh? Is this okay?"

It was also the first time for Ying Feng to do this, but his first reaction was that Ma Xiaotian had discovered all this.These are not ores missed by the mining area. No matter who hides in the wall and cannot take them away in time or at all, they are all harvested by Ma Xiaotian.The previous rough stones were not worth as much as this one when put together, so of course no one felt it.But putting so many together makes a psychological difference. "You can ask the laboratory to record it after you go back, but don't talk about it now."

Ma Xiaotian didn't quite understand why Ying Feng suddenly changed his attitude, but he knew that Ying Feng was thinking of himself.Of course he will not be ignorant of good and evil. "Then go back and talk."

At this time, Zhan Jiu came out of the control room and went to the other side to find them. "What are you doing?"

Ma Xiaotian and Zhan Jiu blinked: "Go back and tell you, okay?"

At first glance, there is something wrong.Zhan Jiu nodded. "Okay. Teacher Mo has already made a record of the exploration. We can set off."

The two stood up immediately.Ma Xiaotian patted the dirt on his hands. "Leave here quickly and find a place with a slightly better environment to eat! After two days of marching rations, I'm tired. Today I'm going to make stir-fried vegetables, rice and stewed pork!"

The taste of carrot stewed moose meat is obviously fresh and sweet, and the taste of meat and carrots is very good.Because the environment is too cold, and the humidity really penetrates into the bones, so Ma Xiaotian put more chili sauce cubes in the spicy fried pork slices, this time even Mai Na ate some more.Sweating is still very good for the body.Ma Xiaotian also fried sweet and sour cabbage slices. There was no fungus but he put crispy melon in it.Two meat and one vegetarian, eat together with thin rice.The Quebecs took their own jerky again. This meal was the most comfortable and delicious meal during the two and a half days underground.

Hit the road again.Everyone felt more relaxed.After all, for them, although they are all unknown roads, they are already heading back.

For the next half a day, no one found any rough stones that were valuable as specimens, let alone valuable as commodities.So everyone also lost interest in "treasure digging".Wen Tao sighed because of this: "I have been out in the wild 20 times since I was [-] years old. This is the only time I went back without a spirit stone and got nothing."

Ma Xiaotian scratched his nose and glanced at Ying Feng.Ying Feng had never lied before, so his face was a little embarrassed.But fortunately, no one paid attention to them.

Mina also continued at this time: "That's right. I found real treasures in the abandoned mines, so I worked hard. We just walked through them. Anyway, we didn't come here for those."

Wen Tao nodded: "That's true. But next time you can't lose your income like this, right? There's only so much knowledge here, and Xiaotian learns it very quickly. Can't the mine veins that have been abandoned for so long be the next time?"

Huo Congting used a camera to record the surrounding situation, and replied: "It depends on the arrangement of the laboratory. But we go out twice a year at most. If it is a distant place, maybe we can only go once a year or two. Don't think too much." A lot. After all, the purpose of the laboratory is scientific research. The most important thing to gain is points."

"It's mainly not whether there is any income, but it's itchy palms. By the way, there will be a stone gambling conference in Hexi City late next month. Xiaotian, do you want to watch the fun with me?" Wen Tao thought of the invitation he had received before. Immediately turned around and asked.

Ma Xiaotian didn't know anything about it. He had no access to gambling stones before, so he was not interested.But it's different now, he's very interested in it! "Okay, okay! Anyone can participate? What does the conference mean? Is it a big promotion or something?"

Mina's teeth hurt. "What are you thinking? Why don't you make up your mind to send rough stones for free."

Ma Xiaotian laughed "hehe". "Just kidding, senior sister, don't pay too much attention to these details."

Mina was annoyed by him. "You must not be so funny in front of the teacher in the future. The teacher has accepted five real disciples including you. You are the only one who likes to talk nonsense."

Ma Xiaotian touched his nose: "Then I am not very rare?"

Mai Na couldn't help rubbing Ma Xiaotian's head twice: "It's too rare. It's a living treasure!"

The road ahead is much smoother.Although there were traces of collapse in the mine tunnels, they did not completely block the way out.So according to the time originally imagined, they saw the moon in the sky the next night.

The first thing everyone did after exiting Exit No. [-] was to stretch their arms and raise their heads, taking a deep breath.

The forest at night has a cool scent of grass and trees, which is much more wonderful than breathing the damp underground atmosphere for several days.

Three tents were hastily erected.Ying Feng, Ma Xiaotian and Zhan Jiu had a busy dinner together.Today Yingfeng and Huo Congting kept vigil, so Zhan Jiu didn't have to stay up. After eating, Ma Xiaotian got into the tent, and it was really hard for him to endure for a day and a half.So without waiting for Zhan Jiu to come in, he got out again, and then took Zhan Jiu's arm. "Ninth brother, I eat too much, you can help me digest it!"

Zhan Jiu naturally agreed to this small request.So he greeted Huo Congting and the others, and Wen Tao couldn't help teasing this time.It's sweet to say that young couples come out together, take a walk or something, isn't it because they are afraid that everyone will see it.It's nothing like a kiss, it's like adults who haven't seen it.As a result, he was attacked by a handful of grass leaves from Ma Xiaotian, who made his hair full of grass, and then ran away.

After leaving quite a distance, Ma Xiaotian stopped. "Brother Nine, I've actually been holding back for more than a day, and it's been really hard."

Zhan Jiu nodded: "Did you find something?"

Ma Xiaotian's eyes widened: "You all guessed it?! Didn't the two of us hide it for nothing? Isn't it too ugly? Do you want to go back and confess now? Can you still maintain a good impression if you confess now?"

Zhan Jiu comforted Ma Xiaotian's shoulder: "No. Only Brother Ting and I saw it. We are different from them. What did you find?"

Ma Xiaotian took out the box of amber from the storage bag. "I found this box where the wall of the control room collapsed. Xiaofeng took it out and opened it, and there were these things inside. Neither of us looked carefully, but I guess it can be worth 10,000+ if put together."

Zhan Jiu was also surprised, but then he just nodded. "Well. Put it away. It's no big deal. Just go back and let Brother Ting make a scan record."

Ma Xiaotian looked at Zhan Jiu: "Is it okay not to tell everyone?"

Zhan Jiu replied: "No problem. You can share it with Ying Feng."

Ma Xiaotian nodded: "That's for sure."

Zhan Jiu helped Ma Xiaotian send the box back to his storage pouch, and then he grabbed Ma Xiaotian's hand. "Ying Feng is not a person who knows how to hide and hide. He is like this. He doesn't want anything to affect your heartache. He is a best friend."

"Of course! Good brother! Good brother! Actually, after thinking about it for a day today, I also understood what he meant. But I just feel a little ashamed. After all, everyone treats me so well. I can't ignore these things." Ma Xiaotian confessed.

Zhan Jiu bowed his head and kissed his forehead. "I know. But it's the first time for you to get along with them. Afterwards, you really get in touch with them and get closer. If you are sure that you can be a heart-to-heart friend like Yingfeng, you can talk about everything. Although I also believe that They are all worth handing over, but it still takes time to verify." What's more, let you pay [-]%, so what's the matter.It's just these words, neither Ying Feng nor Zhan Jiu can bear to expose...
