Chapter 192: The Prospecting Flood Dragon Finds the Treasure Cave
"We're here, we should be here."
Qing Youcai spread out the topographic map in his hand, pointed to the two peaks in front of him and said: "These two peaks are in a north-south direction, and the range is relatively large.
Prospecting together is too time-consuming, so I suggest exploring separately. "
Meng Tiansha nodded: "Then split up to prospect.
In this way, you and I stand on the top of the mountain and garrison, and if someone encounters trouble, we will fight to the sky, so that we can rescue in time when we see it. "
Qing Youcai put away the topographic map and jumped off the carriage: "This method will work, I will arrange it now."
After nearly ten days of trekking, the Liesha Treasure Hunting Team finally came to the location of the red garnet mine. The next step is to explore the veins and dig out the ore.
Zheng Qiu was lying in the back of the car, with black cloth bags covering his eyes, snoring and dozing off.
He was holding the backpack in his arms, and the backpack had deflated a little by now, and many of the heaven and earth crystals in it had been eaten by the little caterpillars, roughly a thousand of them.
"Zheng Qiu, Zheng Qiu, don't sleep."
A treasure hunting team member shook him awake, "You talk to yourself excitedly every night, and pretend to be dead to sleep during the day, can't you be normal?"
Zheng Qiu stuck out his tongue, thinking: "It's not that the little green worm is arguing to look at the stars every day, and it's a hobby in my head in the middle of the night. I don't know when it will pop up."
Seeing that Zheng Qiu didn't speak, the team member handed over the hoe in his hand: "Here, we have arrived at the red garnet mine, now we need to find ore veins and dig ore.
Captain Meng and old man Qing are guarding the top of the mountain. If you encounter trouble, cheer up to the sky, and they will come immediately when they see it. "
Zheng Qiu took the hoe and asked, "Where should I go to explore the mines? Is there any arrangement?"
"The two mountains have a radius of several tens of thousands of feet. In such a large place, you can explore wherever you want, depending on your luck."
Zheng Qiu tidied up his clothes, put his backpack on his back and jumped off the carriage, raised the hoe in his hand and said, "Look, I will be the first to find the ore lode."
Leaving the convoy, Zheng Qiu stepped on the yellow sand and entered the mountain. The stone mountain in front of him was no different from the one he saw on the road, it was bare without a blade of grass growing.
He boasted about Haikou just now, but he was dumbfounded when he really entered the mountain. He has no prospecting experience at all, so he doesn't know how to find this vein.
Glancing at the hoe in his hand, he swung it up and knocked on the ground, thinking: "Prospecting should be hoeing stones to see if there are any ores."
Dangdang, Dangdang, every time Zheng Qiu took two steps, he raised his hoe and knocked on the ground. If he didn't see a special color, he continued to walk forward.
Just knocking and walking all the way, most of the day passed, and Zheng Qiu had already entered the depths of the mountain.
The strange rocks here are jagged and the road surface has long since disappeared, so he had to use a hoe to constantly scrape away the gravel to give himself a place to stay.
Papa, just as he climbed up a raised boulder and slapped the dust on his clothes, a thin voice sounded in his mind, it was a little caterpillar.
"Boss, boss, I'm awake, and I have delicious candies."
Zheng Qiu touched the small dragon tattoo on his neck, put down his backpack, and prepared to take out the heaven and earth crystal from it and feed it.
"Boss, there are candies in the mountains, not in your bag.
"
Hearing what Xiao Qingchong said, Zheng Qiu was at a loss. The candy that Xiao Qingchong said was heaven and earth crystals, but how could there be heaven and earth crystals in the barren mountains.
So he asked: "Did you make a mistake? How can there be money in the mountain? You say it's a treasure."
The little caterpillar suddenly appeared, flicked its tail and scratched Zheng Qiu's nose, and then turned into a tattoo again.
It said angrily: "Boss is stupid, the little caterpillar can't be wrong, there are candies in the mountains."
"Ah owe!"
It made Zheng Qiu's nose itchy, and he sneezed violently. Looking at the appearance of the little caterpillar, could it be possible to find money in this barren hill?
He decided to let the little caterpillar guide the way: "Um, where are those candies you mentioned?"
"Go left... turn right... turn right... climb up here... turn over the stone and turn left..."
Zheng Qiu followed the path pointed out by Xiao Qingchong, climbing up and down the rocky slope.
After climbing like this for less than half an hour, he found that he had been to some places by himself, and it seemed that he was going around in circles.
He was a little annoyed, and asked, "Do you know where the Heaven and Earth Crystal is? I have touched this stone three or four times."
"that……"
The little caterpillar looked a little embarrassed, "Boss, I can smell where the candy is, but I haven't found the way yet, let me try again, this time it must be right."
Zheng Qiu rubbed his temples, it turned out that the little caterpillar couldn't find his way, he was just blind.
Forget it, believe it again!
After circling along the hillside for a while, Xiao Qingchong suddenly stopped Zheng Qiu and turned to look to the right.
"Boss, I feel that the candy is inside the mountain. There is a crack here, and the smell is very strong."
According to Xiao Qingchong's words, Zheng Qiu stuck to the rock wall to check, and there was a dark gap between the chaotic layers of rocks.
He yelled towards the gap, and there was a weak echo after a while. From this, he judged that there should be a cave in the gap.
"I hope you're right, I'll go in and have a look."
Zheng Qiu rubbed his hands and grabbed the hoe, smashed the rocks outside with a bang, and then pushed the gravel to both sides.
There are many rocks at the entrance of the cave, which are estimated to have fallen from the top of the mountain.
He didn't have much time to remove all the rocks, so he just knocked a small hole two feet wide, just enough for himself to get in.
He threw his backpack and hoe into the hole, bent down, and entered it cautiously.
At the same time, run Qi Jin and ignite a bright flame on the palm of your hand.
"It really is a cave!"
The cave in front of him was as tall as a person and four feet wide. Zheng Qiu stroked the rocks on the cave wall and found that there were many small pits and cracks on it, which were the result of man-made excavations.
The little caterpillar regained its figure and raised its paw to scratch Zheng Qiu's ear: "Boss, go in and have a look, the candy is inside."
Zheng Qiu didn't move, but asked worriedly: "You can smell candy, so can you smell if there are any living things in it?"
The little caterpillar closed his eyes, stretched his head to sniff hard, and quickly replied: "I didn't smell it, we are the only two in this cave."
Only then did Zheng Qiu feel relieved, put on his backpack, picked up his hoe, and walked deep into the cave with the flame in his hand.
The structure of the cave is very simple, just a straight passage to the bottom, and there is a stone room at the end of the passage, which is not as big as the cellar of Zheng Qiu's Zhaocai House.
However, there are quite a lot of things in the stone room. Roughly, there are more than ten metal boxes. The boxes are covered with thick rust, which should be very old.
Apart from the boxes, there are also a lot of sundries piled up in the stone room, such as fur, ore, wood, grass blades, it seems that they are all kinds of materials.
Zheng Qiu immediately understood the purpose of the stone chamber.
This is a hidden warehouse for storing things, but the owner of the warehouse didn't know what happened and never came back.
The little caterpillar lying on the shoulder suddenly floated into the air, looked around and then landed on one of the metal boxes, flicking its little tail and screaming.
