The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 157
Chapter 157 Digging (1)
With a bright red light, Lei Xingfeng asked in surprise, “Magma flow?”
Xin Zhaolun said, “That’s right, there is an underground magma flow here. Haha, this magma flow leads to all directions. Don’t worry, this magma flow is very safe. As long as you pay attention, nothing will happen to it. Well, there are all kinds of rare materials here. It depends on your luck. There are many materials that are not usable by a real person, or they are wasted if used by a real person.”
‘”Old Xin, you are a high-grade Adept, you have high eyesight … Actually, there are still a lot of materials that A Feng and the others need here, but … hehe, A Feng doesn’t need to come here, he can exchange or buy these materials.” Jin Daya said with a rare tone. “Old Xin, you are a high-grade Adept, you have a high eyesight …”
Xin Zhaolun nodded. He reached out and took out a beast hide. He handed it to Lei Xingfeng and said, “Pass it on to everyone. This is all the materials produced in this area. It’s the same to be able to find one. However, this material … requires everyone’s attention. It’s also the material I need.”
Lei Xingfeng does not know much about the importance of materials, Because he rarely needed it, he was naturally instinctive. He also collected any materials he could find. Because there was a Lunzang Space, he had a large space to store it. He didn’t need to spend any effort searching for a place to store the items. If there was anything, he would put it away. Because of this, when he needed a large amount of materials, he wouldn’t be in a rush.
Bluetooth?
Lei Xingfeng said, “What is this?” In his knowledge, there had never been such a thing.
Xin Zhaolun said, “That’s it! It’s a kind of material that only exists here. It’s produced on this cliff. You guys have to help me slowly search for it. After I find it, you’ll understand.”
Everyone agreed.
The magma flowed through the deep ditch, and above it was a hard crust formed from magma. A portion of the crust collapsed, revealing the slowly flowing magma below.
In other words, everyone was walking on the hardened magma shell. If they weren’t careful, they might crush the hard shell and fall into the magma stream. Therefore, everyone was treading on it. In fact, they were floating in the air. Of course, Lei Xingfeng, the hammer head, and the Wild Axe were all pulled by someone.
Soon, Xin Zhaolun found a sturdy place for the three of them to stand. Basically, the places farther away from the magma flow were mostly on the ground. Xin Zhaolun said, “It won’t be a problem to follow this path.”
Along the wall of the cave, there was a rather wide edge. It was made of rock, not a hard magma crust. Xin Zhaolun stopped not far ahead. He said, “Yes! Everyone, come take a look.”
XinFeng quickly stepped forward. He came to Xin Zhaolun’s side and said, “Where is it?”
Xin Zhaolun and the others gathered around him. He pointed at the stone wall and said, “This is …”
On the black rock, there was a trace of greenery. XinFeng felt very comfortable with just a single glance. He said, “Interesting, interesting … very comfortable feeling, this is Bi Ya Si?”
Xin Zhaolun said, “No, this is ore. Only after refining will there be jade tooth silk. Everyone, remember this feeling. Follow the feeling and find it. After finding it … Mm, I’ll dig it out for everyone to see. Let’s call it a demonstration.”
He took out a small hammer and lightly tapped it. A moment later, the rocks on the rock wall rolled down and an irregular rock fell into Xin Zhaolun’s hand. He handed it to Lei Xingfeng and said, “This is the ore. It’s much harder than the rocks on the side. So, as long as you tapped it a few times, you can shatter the rocks around you and dig out this ore.”
This was a fist-sized dark green ore. It was extremely heavy. It gave Lei Xingfeng the feeling that it was definitely heavier than gold. It was just a small piece of ore, enough to weigh ten kilograms. He said, “So heavy!”
Xin Zhaolun said, “Purified, heavier.”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “Well, I’ll go find it.”
Xin Zhaolun said, “If you can find a hundred to three hundred kilograms … that’s fine, the rest … you can keep it yourself. It’s very rare. I believe you’ll need it.”
XinFeng understood that this was also his chance. He said, “Alright, no problem.”
Crazy Eagle and Tiger Addict both understood that they didn’t have the chance to use this kind of material. Both of them expressed their support for XinFeng’s excavation.
As for the hammer and Wild Axe, they were brought by Xin Zhaolun, so no matter how much they dug, they were all for Xin Zhaolun. The two of them had already reached an agreement. Jin Daya was also helping Xin Zhaolun dig. However, like Lei Xingfeng, once he dug out enough jade tooth silk, the rest could be collected by himself.
XinFeng personally dug underground ore for the first time. When he found the Bi Ya Silk ore, he discovered that he didn’t have any suitable tools. He took out a steel spear and began to hit the rock wall. At this time, he discovered that his strength was enormous. He didn’t even need to struggle to break the rock. Soon, he dug out the first Bi Ya Silk ore.
It was only the size of a walnut, emitting a green glow. Lei Xingfeng estimated that such a small piece of ore weighed two to three kilograms.
Crazy Eagle and Tiger Addict also spread out, searching for ores. The two of them were able to find more places than XinFeng. For example, XinFeng would never be able to go up to the top of the cave. He could only follow the edge of the cave and slowly explore along the rock wall.
The sound of knocking came from the cave, and everyone silently searched for it.
Due to the extreme heat in the cave, XinFeng only wore a pair of shorts and a small vest. The rest of his clothes were stored in the Lun Tang space.
Lei Xingfeng accidentally lowered his head and suddenly found a string of green stones on the ground. He crouched down and couldn’t help but be overjoyed. He could conclude that there were at least a dozen Bluetooth Silk ores here.
After knocking for a while, XinFeng harvested seventeen pieces of Jade Teeth Silk Ore. The largest piece was the size of an apple, and it weighed twenty kilograms. The smallest piece was also the size of a finger. At least a hundred kilograms of Jade Teeth Silk Ore could be harvested at one time. XinFeng was so happy that he smiled happily.
Crazy Eagle had also dug up a few pieces. Only the tiger-loving ones had a slightly worried expression. He had found a few wrong places.
The more XinFeng dug, the more excited he became. He discovered that he seemed to have the potential to be a miner. Other people couldn’t find him for a long time. He could find him with his intuition. In a short while, he found another ore. Just when Tiger Addict dug the first ore, XinFeng found another seven or eight.
Bi Ya Silk Ore was easy to find, but hard to find. Unexpectedly, Lei Xingfeng was the one who had obtained the most. The others, including Xin Zhaolun, had only dug up five or six pieces. The two of them, Hammer Head and Wild Axe, had yet to find a single piece of Bi Ya Silk Ore.
Slowly, Lei Xingfeng had already walked a long way. This was a very deep cave. Along the way, Lei Xingfeng would occasionally discover it. He thought to himself, “Strange, it’s not difficult to find it. I’ve already completed the task that Senior Brother gave me.” In just a few hours, he had dug up several hundred kilograms of ore without any difficulty.
At this time, Lei Xingfeng discovered another ore, red gold.
Red gold is not gold, It was a special metal. It had some characteristics of gold, but it was much more precious than gold. It was especially used in weapons. Red gold was different from jade tooth silk. Red gold was produced in many places, but it was rare in quantity. Red gold could not be purified. Natural purity was its purity. It looked like a crystal, but it could be tempered like metal.
Red gold is naturally small and exists in rocks in the form of gravel.
Therefore, Lei Xingfeng was very happy after discovering the red gold. He shattered the rock and picked up a piece to examine carefully. He could see that the red gold on the outer layer of the rock was densely packed with broken stone surfaces.
There was no need to purify the red gold. As long as the ore was put into a steel jar and beaten with a steel pestle, the red gold would stick together. As long as the stone powder was drifted away, the rest would be red gold.
The red gold discovered by Lei Xingfeng was a three-meter-long ore belt. He gathered the rocks bit by bit and put them into the Lunzang Space. It took him more than an hour to collect the three-meter-long ore belt, leaving behind a large crack in the rock wall that was enough for two people to lie down.
After a busy day, Xin Zhaolun ate some dry food when he was hungry and drank some cold water when he was thirsty. It wasn’t until the hammer and Wild Axe kept shouting that he was hungry that Xin Zhaolun gathered everyone together.
After finding a flat place, Xin Zhaolun smiled and asked, “How was your harvest?” He was very satisfied. In just one day, he had dug up more than a dozen pieces of Bi Ya Silk ore, as well as two other ores. They were all accidentally dug up.
Jin Daya said, “I dug up eight pieces, about seventy kilograms. Not bad.”
The hammer said embarrassedly, “I, I dug up three pieces … none of them are big, hehe.” He smiled awkwardly.
Wild Axe was even more embarrassed. He said, “This, that, I dug up a piece …”
Xin Zhaolun wasn’t dissatisfied. He said, “That’s not bad. Haha, Feng, how much did you dig?”
Lei Xingfeng was similarly embarrassed. It wasn’t that he was embarrassed to dig less, but that he was embarrassed to dig more than others. If he wanted to say it out loud, would he be beaten up? He said very bashfully, “Good grades … Completing the mission, no problem.”
As for Crazy Eagle and Tiger Addict, there was no need to report. The two of them were XinFeng’s bodyguards, and all of their gains were XinFeng’s. It had nothing to do with Xin Zhaolun.
Xin Zhaolun heaved a sigh of relief and said, “We can’t stay here for too long, so dig as much as possible.”
XinFeng said, “We have brought enough food. If we stay here for a bit longer, there shouldn’t be too much of a problem.”
Xin Zhaolun said, “Well, I know when to go back. I still need to listen to Hammer and Wild Axe.”
Hammerhead said, “It’s fine. It’s fine to stay for a while longer. As long as it doesn’t exceed 30 days, it doesn’t matter. However, it definitely shouldn’t exceed 30 days. It’s best to leave in 20 days. The weather will turn cold …”
Lei Xingfeng couldn’t help but shout, “What do you mean the weather is going to turn cold? It’s already very cold, okay?”
“Cold weather means you can’t stand it. You’ll freeze to death at that time,” Wild Axe said.
XinFeng said, “Are you alright?”
