Fan Ganglie looked at the bottomless cliff in front of him, and then looked at the direction of the footsteps. They disappeared when they reached the edge of the cliff. His expression changed, "Could it be..."
"There are other footprints here. It must have been chased by something, and it probably fell off a cliff." Ye Chenshan glanced at the surroundings and said tactfully.
Both Fan Yujing and Li Ying looked ugly. They had gone through so much trouble to find them. In the previous battle, Fan Ganglie even damaged the snake-winged blue dragon. If the blood fox and flame-tailed beast also fell off the cliff and died, their efforts would be in vain. Wouldn't it be in vain
Su Ping did not speak. His eyes slowly scanned the surrounding environment. The arrangement of scattered footprints on the ground, a few traces of battle, the remaining fiery red hair, broken bones and other information were all taken into account.
He suddenly jumped off the Demonic Skeleton Beast, came to the edge of the cliff, lay down and took a look into the cliff.
The reason for lying on the ground was to prevent being attacked and pushed off the cliff. Although he knew that Fan Ganglie and others had no reason to do this, he still had to be on guard.
It was pitch dark inside the cliff. It happened to be night and visibility was extremely low.
"Are there any fluorescent sticks?" Su Ping asked Fan Ganglie and others behind him.
Seeing Su Ping visiting the cliff, Fan Ganglie and others were embarrassed to continue sitting on the Demon Skeleton Beast and got down one after another. Li Ying said, "Yes." He took out a few fluorescent sticks from his backpack and handed them to Su Ping.
Su Ping unscrewed one and threw it into the cliff.
The fluorescent stick fell straight down, illuminating the steep cliffs along the way clearly. The brown rock walls were extremely rough. Tens of meters away, Su Ping saw a tuft of fiery red hair flying in the crevices of the rock. It was the blood fox. The hair of the flame-tailed beast. The fluorescent stick continued to fall, passing over the rough rock wall and shining on some dead vines that emerged from the cracks in the rock wall.
Suddenly, Su Ping seemed to see a strange object, but the fire light was too weak and it fell too fast, so he couldn't see it clearly.
He unscrewed and threw down a fluorescent stick, still following the same trajectory as before.
This time he saw clearly that it was an irregular hard block with dark golden particles embedded in the cliff wall, with a rough surface.
"Is it a gold mine?" Su Ping couldn't help but be stunned. In this unknown area, no human has ever harvested it. It is not surprising to find gold mines. This is also the charm of pioneering. I don't know how many pioneers have found a gold mine or found a gold mine. He became rich from rare minerals such as uranium ore.
Su Ping didn't expect that he would be so lucky to encounter such a good thing for the first time, and he was a little surprised. However, it was too difficult for him to pick this thing by himself, so he needed the help of other people.
Moreover, it is impossible to have it all to yourself. His storage space is too small. If it is really a metal mine, even if the storage space is full, the value extracted will not be high, and it can only be carried back by pet animals.
At this time, Fan Ganglie picked up a stone and threw it off the cliff. He listened carefully. After a long time, there was no response. He turned to Li Ying with an ugly face and said: "Use your earthworm beast to go down and search. If you want to see the corpse, if you find it, Just bring the body back."
Li Ying nodded, summoned his earthworm, and drilled into the rock on the edge of the cliff.
Although they are both rock-type beasts, the Mountain-Shaking Beast does not have the ability to burrow into the ground.
When Su Ping heard Fan Ganglie's words, his previous surprise suddenly disappeared, and he sighed inwardly, so to speak, his mission would also fail.
After a moment, Li Ying suddenly opened his eyes and said in surprise: "The Earthworm Beast has found the Blood Fox, and it's still alive!"
"Huh?" Su Ping, Fan Ganglie and others were stunned.
found it? Still alive
Given the depth of this cliff, how could a pet beast like the Blood Fox Flame-tailed Beast, which has no flying ability, not fall to death
Seeing the astonished looks of several people, Li Ying smiled and said: "The Earthworm Beast was found in a cave inside the cliff, and the Blood Fox is inside."
"Cliff cave?" Su Ping looked strange, suddenly thinking of some old grandfather who had been waiting so hard.
Fan Ganglie was pleasantly surprised and said quickly: "Take us there."
"Yeah." Li Ying said, "I'll let the earthworm drill the passage."
Not long after, there was a slant passage under everyone's feet, which was opened by the earthworm using its bodily fluids to melt the rocks. Everyone supported the passage with their arms and slowly slid down. At the end of the passage was the cave where the Blood Fox was waiting.
After falling into the cave, Su Ping quickly took a look around and found that this was not a cave at all. It was just a pit in the rock wall with a concavity of only four or five meters. The blood fox flame-tailed beast was lying in it to cultivate, and he saw a few people appear. , it immediately stood up and showed an attacking posture. When it found familiar faces such as Fan Ganglie and Fan Yujing, the hostility on its body disappeared immediately, and a pair of fox-like narrow eyes revealed a look of surprise.
"Finally found you." Fan Ganglie couldn't help but smile. Although he suffered heavy losses, at least the mission of this trip was completed. The blood fox flame-tailed beast lay down in front of Fan Ganglie and rubbed it affectionately. Although Fan Ganglie was not its owner, he usually fed and teased it, so he was very familiar with it.
Su Ping felt relieved when he saw that the blood fox only had some scars on his body but was not seriously injured. This way, his mission was completed. Fortunately.
"It turns out there are dead vines here. It probably used the dead vines to slow down and jump here." Ye Chenshan looked at the situation on the alcove and said suddenly.
Su Ping thought of the thing he saw that looked like a gold ore protruding from it. He estimated that the blood fox had used that thing to slow down. He immediately said to Li Ying: "There seems to be a metal ore on it. Let your earthworms control it." The passage reaches there, let’s go and take a look.”
"Metal mine?"
Li Ying was stunned. Fan Ganglie, Ye Chenshan and others also looked at him, a little surprised, and then his eyes quickly showed joy. They all knew what it meant to discover a metal mine in the cracks in the starry sky. If it was a gold mine, then Make a lot of money!
"Go and have a look." Fan Ganglie urged.
Li Ying was also very excited, and immediately asked his earthworm to open a passage. Everyone climbed up along the passage, and sure enough they saw a hard object seven or eight meters in diameter and four or five meters wide in the soil.
Fan Ganglie took out a small instrument from his backpack and scanned and measured the object to test the gold content inside.
Others also had such instruments, but they did not take them out. They just moved closer to Fan Ganglie to inspect them.
"Uranium content... 0.002%, gold content 2.902%... silver content... "
The contents of many elements appeared like a list. When he saw the contents of uranium and gold, the smile on Fan Ganglie's face disappeared and was filled with disappointment.
The content of iron, copper, nickel, vanadium and other metal elements at the back is also very low. The content of all elements on the table does not exceed 5%.
Su Ping glanced at the list on the instrument and felt a little strange. If such a big lump didn't contain these elements, what kind of substance would it be? At this moment, the little skeleton at his feet suddenly became excited and stretched out its skull claws to stroke the mineral, looking very covetous.
Su Ping was a little surprised, and then he realized that this was probably not a mine of earth elements, but other unknown minerals, useful for undead creatures.
"System, can you identify it?" Su Ping asked silently.
The system said: "Okay."
Su Ping was suddenly surprised: "Then what is this?"
"The appraisal fee is 100 points of energy per time." the system said.
Su Ping almost spurted blood, is there a charge
Thinking of the six or seven hundred energy points he had left, he gritted his teeth and paid.
The system first prompted energy deduction information, and then said: "This is the underworld stone mine, a collection of undead energy, which can be extracted into underworld stone. The underworld stone can be used for cultivation, and is also the currency used for transactions in the underworld and the world of the dead."
"The Dark Stone?" Su Ping was stunned, "So, this is something similar to the Spirit Stone?"
"That's understandable."
Su Ping was stunned, and then asked: "Can you refine this thing?"
"Can."
"Really, that's too shameful..."
"The refining fee is 100 energy."
