The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 158

Chapter 158 Excavation (2)
Hammerhead smiled and said, “We can leave in forty days, or even forty-five days, but you can’t, so this date is exactly twenty days.”

Lei Xingfeng immediately understood that he was the worst. This was the so-called bucket theory. The shortest piece of board decided how much water the bucket could hold. He helplessly nodded and said, “Alright, I’m dragging everyone down.”

“Twenty days is enough,” Xin Zhaolun smiled. “Actually, I can collect enough jade tooth silk in about ten days. You don’t have to apologize.”

After a simple meal, Xin Zhaolun let everyone rest. However, Lei Xingfeng still went out to search for ores. In just half a day, he had already fallen in love with mining. If he could dig more, he might not have this chance in the future.

As the magma flowed down, XinFeng did not know where the underground magma flowed to, nor how deep it was. Fortunately, there was no fork in the road. Even if there was, it was not deep. He had to walk a few dozen meters until the end. He had to return to the fork in the road and continue walking.

Very quickly, Lei Xingfeng realized that he couldn’t make it, The road beside the cave suddenly disappeared. Only a dozen meters away could there be a road. This section was empty. One could clearly see the fiery red magma below. Lei Xingfeng smiled bitterly. He could not fly. If he forcefully jumped over, it wasn’t that he couldn’t. Instead, he was afraid of accidents. He didn’t know if his shield could withstand the magma. He sighed and could only turn his head back.

After walking a few steps, he saw Crazy Eagle approaching. He smiled and said, “What’s wrong?”

Lei Xingfeng spread out his hands and said, “I can’t get past … oh, Uncle Eagle, carry me over.”

Crazy Eagle took a few steps forward and couldn’t help but laugh, “Alright, I didn’t expect the road to be cut off.”

Shi Hu said, “I’ll carry it. I’m really not good at prospecting and digging.”

Feng Ying nodded and said, “Alright, you do it. I’ll dig at the top. Haha, I find it easier to find it.”

Hu Zhi crouched down and carried XinFeng on his back. He said, “I’ll be right beside you. If you find any ore, I’ll dig.”

XinFeng smiled and said, “Actually, mining … has a sense of accomplishment.”

Tiger Addict flew over with XinFeng. An empty gap and a hot aura forced XinFeng to release some defenses. Fortunately, Tiger Addict’s speed was extremely fast. In a few seconds, it had already crossed over.

Lei Xingfeng had only just arrived when he discovered a ore belt about seven meters long. It was another red gold ore belt. Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “Good luck. It’s red gold. Uncle Tiger, you dig it. I’ll take a look in front.”

Shi Hu looked carefully for a long time but didn’t see anything. He was puzzled, “Red Gold Belt? Alright, I’ll dig first.”

When Shi Hu knocked on the rock wall, he immediately understood that this was indeed red gold. He couldn’t help but admire it. He began to excavate it vigorously. Even he could use red gold. This thing had a wide range of uses and was a rare material.

Lei Xingfeng continued to move forward. Very quickly, he found another material. It was blood sand. It was very similar to red gold. However, it was not red gold. It was a catalyst-like material. The amount of it was also very small. Lei Xingfeng dug it out.

For more than ten days in a row, The seven of them were busy. No one was lazy. The most serious person was XinFeng. Xin Zhaolun couldn’t compare to him, and his harvest was the richest. Apart from the three hundred kilograms of Jade Tooth Silk ore he had given Xin Zhaolun, he had also obtained nearly seven hundred kilograms of Jade Tooth Silk ore. In other words, he had already dug up nearly a thousand kilograms of Jade Tooth Silk ore. This didn’t include the ores dug by Mad Eagle and Tiger.

As for Xin Zhaolun’s harvest, it was similarly not cheap. With the help of everyone, he had gathered enough Bi Ya Silk ore. Therefore, he had been grinning these past few days, causing Lei Xingfeng to be unable to help but make a few jokes.

Xin Zhaolun said, “There are still a few days left. Everyone, hurry up. I have already collected enough things. The rest is just an extra harvest. Haha.” At this point, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He was really happy.

XinFeng said, “Mm, I also plan to dig for a few more days. It’s about time. I found quite a few good things this time. Hehe, there’s one thing that I don’t think you’ve got.”

Jin Daya asked, “What is it? I have already collected six kinds of materials. This place is truly a treasure trove. Unfortunately … I may not be able to come back in the future.”

Xin Zhaolun said, “There are all kinds of materials here. Although the quantity is not large, there are many varieties and the quality is good.”

Lei Xingfeng flipped his wrist and a cone-shaped crystal appeared in his palm. It was dark purple. He said, “Do you recognize this thing?”

‘”Amethyst, top-grade Amethyst! You, where did you find it?” Xin Zhaolun grabbed it with a single glance. His voice changed.

Jin Daya also revealed an extremely surprised expression. At the same time, he revealed an extremely jealous expression. He said, “Amethyst ah … and this kind of luck … damn it, why didn’t I encounter it! It’s too depressing!”

Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “Do you want to know?”

Xin Zhaolun said, “Nonsense, of course I want to know. Hurry up, hurry up! Where did you find it?”

Jin Daya also revealed a curious expression. Amethyst was much more precious than Jade Teeth Silk. This item was extremely rare. Even experts above Lord were rarely able to obtain it. Not to mention the usefulness of the Purple Crystal, if he returned this time, he could at least exchange it for a lot of sealing rings. This was something that Lord used.

Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “Follow me.”

Everyone followed XinFeng along the edge of the cave wall. Soon, they arrived at a place he couldn’t cross the last time. Crazy Eagle said, “Shall I carry you over?”

Lei Xingfeng shook his head and said, “There’s no need to go over there. Haha, this is where I got the purple crystal.”

Jin Daya looked around and didn’t see anything. He said, “Don’t be ridiculous, there’s no amethyst here.”

Lei Xingfeng pointed down with his finger.

Jin Daya asked doubtfully, “You, you mean that the amethyst was obtained in the magma?”

XinFeng nodded and said, “That’s right, hehe, it’s a very accidental opportunity.”

“How did you do it?” Xin Zhaolun said. After thinking for a while, he said, “You can’t go down …”

Lei Xingfeng said, “Senior Brother, I haven’t lived long enough. If I go down, I will die.”

Tiger Addict said, “He fished it up” He had been following XinFeng the entire time. Of course, he knew how this fellow managed to obtain the amethyst. It was definitely an accidental opportunity. This fellow was tired of digging for ore. He had a fantasy. He used his long steel spear to dig into the flowing magma and picked out a large chunk of magma to fall to the ground. In the end, he discovered an amethyst.

Xin Zhaolun said, “Take another look …”

XinFeng said, “Alright, I’ll give it a try. I’ll have to be lucky … There’s probably nothing left.” As he spoke, he took out his spear.

Xin Zhaolun noticed that the tip of the steel spear had completely melted, leaving only half of the spear.

Lei Xingfeng thrust the spear into the magma and stirred it. In just a moment, seeing that the tip of the steel spear had turned red, he suddenly raised a ball of magma and smashed it onto the ground.

A steel drill appeared in Xin Zhaolun’s hand. That’s what he used to dig for rock, He used the steel drill to move the lava a few times. The lava was still glowing red and soft. He crouched down, and a bowl of water emerged from his hand. He directly poured it onto the fiery red lava. With a piercing sound, the white mist surged. Soon, a few pieces of lava that had already turned black appeared. He knocked on the lava with the steel drill and examined it carefully. After a while, he found the amethyst.

Jin Daya glanced at him and said, “Too small.”

There were a total of two purple crystals. They were about the size of a grain of sand. XinFeng’s purple crystal was at least the size of his finger. The two of them were different. However, this proved that XinFeng was not spouting nonsense.

Xin Zhaolun let out a long sigh and said, “Indeed! Haha, I’ve decided … Forget about the other mines. I will definitely not let go of the Purple Crystal. This thing can be exchanged for many things. Even if I don’t exchange it for it, it is still very precious.”

Even sesame-sized purple crystals were precious. Xin Zhaolun put them away without hesitation. XinFeng couldn’t help but laugh. He said, “Senior Brother, I’ll give you a hint. Hehe, when stirring, pay attention to the color of the magma.”

“What color?” Xin Zhaolun said.

XinFeng said, “Look carefully at the magma. It’s all golden yellow with a red glow. If it emits purple light, then there will be purple crystals.”

Hearing Lei Xingfeng’s words, everyone else stared at the lava flow. After a while, Xin Zhaolun said, “Well, I didn’t see any purple light … they were all the same.”

Jin Daya also said, “I can’t see either …” Everyone else shook their heads, and no one could see any purple light.

The hammer rubbed its eyes hard and said, “It’s all the same … where’s the purple light?”

Lei Xingfeng was speechless. He said, “This … is so obvious that none of you can see it?” He was puzzled in his heart. In this short period of time, he had already seen at least a few purple rays of light appear. However, they only appeared and disappeared. If he didn’t pay attention, it would be very easy to ignore them.

“Forget it,” Xin Zhaolun said. “Let me see how lucky I am.”

Everyone immediately slipped away, their hands either using steel drills or steel spears, stirring in the lava flow.

Lei Xingfeng asked Feng Ying to carry him forward, He didn’t want a group of people to fish for the Purple Crystal together. At first, he only knew that the Purple Crystal was very precious. But when he saw Xin Zhaolun and Jin Daya, he understood that this item was no longer precious. He definitely couldn’t miss it. Previously, he had only obtained two Purple Crystals. This item was extremely difficult to obtain.

Suddenly, Lei Xingfeng saw a ball of purple light. He immediately inserted the steel spear in his hand into the flow of magma, and his heart instantly became excited.

Lei Xingfeng already had some experience. He knew that sticking to the amethyst with magma was very mediocre. It would be best if he directly lifted the magma from below.

“Get up!”

XinFeng forcefully picked up a ball of lava and sent it flying.
