Seeing Lu Dayou's affirmative tone, the three of them stopped talking and just followed the captain, nodding at the same time.
Old Sun still had a question in his mind: "What kind of mine are you digging this time? It's so mysterious that we can't ask any more questions, and it's kept secret from the outside world. Is it more valuable than the jade in your No. 1 pit?"
Lao Zhou said nonchalantly, "Just mine when I tell you to. Just give you the money. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Old Sun blushed and smiled awkwardly, "I'm just curious and want to ask."
Lao Zhou laughed contemptuously and said, "Curiosity kills the cat."
Seeing Lao Zhou making fun of him, Lao Sun said, "I am not a cat either."
Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Dayou lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, I don't know what Brother Ye wants us to dig for. I heard him say that the things here are much more valuable than jade."
Lu Dayou especially emphasized the word "much more valuable", which made everyone even more confused.
Old Sun guessed, "Gold has a price, but jade is priceless. I really don't know what is more expensive than jade."
Lao Chen remained silent, not because he had no questions, but because he could endure more than anyone else, but there were times when he just couldn't.
After holding it in for a long time, he finally asked, "Captain, who are you, Brother Ye?"
Lu Dayou whispered, "Do you know any ancient warriors?"
Old Sun and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. The Jade Prince had once offended an ancient warrior and was nearly killed. This legend was known to everyone in Jade City.
Old Sun was surprised and asked, "You mean, he is a ancient warrior?"
Lao Chen interjected, "Ancient warriors are also divided into different levels. I see that he is so young, so his level is probably not high."
Lu Dayou glared at Lao Chen with disdain: "Not high? Have you heard of the old Dong family in Xiangyu Town?"
Speaking of the Old Dong family, Old Sun still had lingering fears: "Everyone knows the Old Dong family. Not to mention that his family is in Xiangyu Town, even if it is in Yudu, except for Prince Yu, who dares to offend his family?"
Lu Dayou rolled his eyes at Old Sun and said contemptuously, "To tell you the truth, Old Sun, don't tell Brother Ye that the old Dong family forgave your debt because of Brother Ye's face, and that Prince Yu is not afraid of the Dong family, that's because Ye Feng destroyed the prestige of the Dong family. With Brother Ye's strength, the old Dong family is just an ant in front of him."
Just when they were chatting enthusiastically, Ye Feng appeared at the entrance of the valley: "Everyone must be waiting anxiously, come in, follow me and don't run around."
Although Ye Feng controlled the eye of the formation and shut down the center of the formation, he was afraid that they would trigger the restrictions that he did not understand.
"Can I come in now?"
"Let's go, let's follow Brother Ye."
Lu Dayou and four others followed Ye Feng closely. They looked around nervously and he felt very strange.
A snowstorm had just passed, and the ground outside the valley was covered with snow, but inside the Death Valley, the grass was green, the weather was sunny and windy, and there was no trace of snow at all, as if they were in two different worlds.
When they first entered Death Valley, the four of them were so nervous that they dared not even breathe.
There are bones everywhere in the valley. Some of the animal bones are in strange shapes that I have never seen before, and some look more like human bones, which makes people feel creepy.
The four had been to deep mountains and swamps and seen many dangerous, eerie and terrifying forests, but this was the first time they felt that Death Valley was the most terrifying.
On the surface, Death Valley seems sunny and green, but the ground is littered with animal bones, suggesting that there is danger lurking here.
The temporary calm is like the peaceful beginning of a horror movie. The next second, villains with chainsaws and scary-looking demons will jump out.
Ye Feng's natal eye scanned the rock wall. Behind the hard rock, there were pieces of vitality stones emitting white light. They were as warm as precious jade and lay quietly deep in the rock, like flower buds about to bloom.
The only way to claim them is to dig out the rocks using machinery.
The more Ye Feng looked at it, the more excited he became. A Yuanqi Stone of such good quality and appearance was a priceless treasure for those who practiced ancient martial arts.
Patting the green rock, Ye Feng outlined the excavation range with a charcoal pencil: "Use the machine to dig from here. Be careful not to break the original stone inside. Try to ensure the integrity of the original stone."
Looking at the hard green rock, Lu Da was puzzled. According to his experience, there were very few jade mines in this kind of green granite.
What made him curious was that Ye Feng could actually accurately foresee the range of the raw stone, just like last year when Ye Feng was gambling on stones, he seemed to have foresightedly picked up a piece of colorful jade.
The longer Lu Dayou spent with Ye Feng, the more he felt that Ye Feng was able to see through things. He could see at a glance where the jade mines were and which raw stones contained the best quality jade.
Lu Dayong used tools to dig a hole in the middle of the area drawn by Ye Feng on the stone wall, revealing the Yuan Qi Stone inside that was as warm as white jade and emitting a faint light.
What kind of jade is this? I have never seen it before, and it glows. It is not the reflection of the sun, but the real fluorescence.
The four of them were stunned for a moment. This kind of jade was something they had never seen before and was beyond their knowledge.
Ye Feng smiled and said, "How is it? The jade vein is estimated to be about one mile long, extending along the mountain wall. Brother Lu, are you sure you can mine it completely?"
Lu Da nodded, frowned slightly and said, "It's not difficult to mine. The quality of this jade is also very good. We have never seen it before. It is worth mining. But it is very difficult to transport the mining equipment and excavator in. The mountain roads here are rugged and in such a remote valley."
Lao Zhou also chimed in: "Also, how to transport the mined raw stones is also a problem. There is no road out of here, and there are few people around."
"Without a mining machine, we can't mine manually, right?"
Ye Feng can mine the raw stones outside the mountain by himself, but if he wants to dig out the entire vein in the rock wall, he must have a special mining machine.
Old Sun suddenly had an idea and suggested, "We can do it. The parts of the mining machine can be sent in first and assembled here. After the raw stones are mined, they can be disassembled into parts and sent out of the valley."
Ye Feng asked: "Is the mining machine large in size?"
“It’s about the size of a regular excavator.”
Ye Feng smiled without hesitation and said, "It's just this big. You don't need to assemble it here. Drive an assembled mining machine over here. I guarantee you can drive it in."
Old Sun was in charge of operating the mining machine. He shook his head in disbelief, "How is that possible? If you think it's troublesome to transport the parts for assembly, then you have to hire a transport helicopter to lift the assembled mining machine to the bottom of the valley, which will cost more."
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Believe me, I can solve this problem. I guarantee that in the blink of an eye, a mining machine will appear in front of you."
