This golden light was so shining that it almost threw the words "I am the big baby" on everyone's faces, so that it instantly attracted everyone's attention.
They all stopped what they were doing and turned to look in the direction of the golden light, with different expressions.
From a distance, the glow seems to be a golden square stone, which looks very similar to gold.
It is particularly eye-catching. Even if it is hidden among a pile of black ores, it still cannot hide its brilliance.
The person who mined it was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, with dark skin and deep eye lines. He was stunned in place.
There is both the surprise and excitement of finding treasures in my eyes,
There is also a hint of worry that should not be noticed.
As Zhang Tao said before, in the Hansheng Mine, one must pay attention to the principle of not revealing the wealth, and the ore dug out is undoubtedly their own wealth and needs to be well hidden.
Who would have thought that now this piece of ore would be so golden that it would be hard to hide it without attracting the attention of others.
Men don't need to think about it to know, I'm afraid someone has already set their sights on this ore.
Bai Mo could hear clearly in the distance that many people's breathing had become rapid, as if they were preparing for something.
After looking around for a while, I saw some people gathered together calmly, smoking e-cigarettes and staring at the middle-aged man in the distance. They talked in low voices from time to time without being too shy.
Among them, the one named Xiaofan by Zhang Tao had the largest number of people around him. Most of them were young and middle-aged people, with a careless expression and no idea what they were planning.
At the same time, Zhang Tao stopped mining and came to Bai Mo silently.
He handed him a candy.
Bai Mo took it and asked curiously: "What is this?"
"Warm candy is made from the juice of a rare species called Yanhua. It will be very warm if you eat it. Although it is somewhat harmful, it will not affect you if you don't eat too much. Don't worry."
Zhang Tao threw a warm candy into his mouth as he spoke, and his face quickly turned rosy.
"What's the harm?"
"Yanhua is toxic, and the manufacturing method of warm sugar is very crude. It is hard squeezing and blending, regardless of whether the toxicity is eliminated or not."
Therefore, eating too much of this food will have side effects, making it easy to be afraid of heat, and it will be very uncomfortable in summer, but don’t worry, as long as you don’t eat too much, there will be no problem.” Zhang Tao explained.
Bai Mo looked at him for a while and said calmly: "You know a lot."
"After all, I was once a teacher. I have read a lot of books. I can barely be considered knowledgeable."
Zhang Tao smiled, "And Wuji City is known as the City of Knowledge.
The central library inside is even more famous throughout the world.
But it’s a pity that I have never been qualified to enter based on my authority.”
He had a look of regret on his face.
The city of knowledge...
Bai Mo murmured in his heart and threw the warm candy into his mouth. The warmth enveloped his whole body. He felt it carefully and then stopped talking.
Although everyone was very curious about the golden ore, they had no intention of getting close.
Zhang Tao told Bai Mo that this was also the unwritten rule of the Hansheng mine. In their respective areas, no matter what others dug out, they were not allowed to interfere. This could ensure the safety of the ore. Otherwise, if you even dug a mine, you would be watched by others at any time.
No one can feel at ease here.
...Of course, everyone knows very well whether this rule is useful or not.
And while everyone was watching, someone suddenly seemed to have discovered something was wrong and exclaimed.
"No, look at Wang Yao, why is there no movement from him?"
Wang Yao is the middle-aged man who mined the golden ore. At least two minutes have passed since the ore appeared, but the man has maintained his original movements, like a sculpture.
Even the excited expression on his face has not changed at all. The smile on his face is extremely eager. It is almost the same as before, but it makes people feel stiff and cold inexplicably, giving people a chilling feeling.
In an instant, Hansheng Mine became extremely quiet.
Zhang Tao had a bad premonition in his heart. Just as he was about to make a move, he was held back by Bai Mo beside him.
The latter shook his head calmly at him, and then asked: "Warm Tang, are there any more?"
Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment. The taste of this stuff was obviously very ordinary. Bai Wu actually still cared about this...
"Yes, yes, but..."
"Take them all out if you have them."
"Ah? I told you that you can't eat too much of this, and it's not very cold now." Zhang Tao shook his head quickly.
"It's indeed not cold now, but it might get colder later..." Bai Mo thought for a moment and said, "Just be prepared."
Zhang Tao looked at Bai Mo blankly. Listening to his tone, could something happen soon?
But how did Baiwu know?
When he came back to his senses, Wang Yao still had not changed at all, as if he had completely turned into an ice sculpture, motionless.
Just when everyone was wondering if this guy was dead, they saw Wang Yao's left shoulder suddenly shrug and make a "click" sound.
Immediately afterwards, his left shoulder was also raised high, his hands were raised horizontally to the left and right, the left and right forearms were lowered, the right forearm was raised, and the body squatted down in a horse stance. It looked quite funny, as if he was cleaning the glass.
Every movement will be accompanied by a crisp click sound, which looks like the mechanical dance that was popular in the past.
However, the most tingling thing is that the expression on Wang Yao's face still remains the same as before, and even the worry in his eyes has not changed at all.
It was as if... it was as if everything about him was fixed at a certain moment before, and at the same time, the control of his body was given to another person.
Everyone had been floundering in the buffer zone for so long, and had already made their own judgments about the crisis. Naturally, they realized something was wrong at the first moment. They immediately took a few steps back, then turned around and left the mine without a trace.
Any sloppiness.
However, there are still a few people left at the bottom of the mine.
In addition to a few people who are unyieldingly interested in golden ores - these people actually include Bai Mo and Zhang Tao.
Zhang Tao was suddenly stopped by Bai Mo.
Seeing that time was not waiting for me, he said to Bai Mo anxiously: "There is probably something wrong with this ore, or there is something wrong with Hansheng Mine, otherwise Wang Yao cannot become like this, we have to leave quickly!
"
The most taboo thing in the buffer zone is greed. Coveting for things that are inconsistent with one's own abilities may ultimately lead to self-destruction.
Zhang Tao knew this truth very well, so he was not optimistic about the fate of other greedy people. Of course, he did not want Bai Wu, who had just been rescued not long ago, to die here.
However, Bai Mo was not anxious at all. He signaled Zhang Tao to be silent, then pulled him close to the cave entrance and asked in a low voice: "Do you think that person is dead?"
Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment, and then said anxiously: "What the hell, if we don't leave, we will die!"
"Don't worry, I know that stone."
Just when he was anxiously preparing to leave, Bai Mo's calm voice made him stop.
Perhaps Bai Mo's expression was too calm, and the panic in Zhang Tao's heart was inexplicably reduced. He asked: "What is that?"
"Cold light stone, if you insist on distinguishing it, this should be regarded as one of the more precious treasures in your mouth."
"Exotic treasure?"
Zhang Tao felt excited. You must know that not everything can be called rare. Things like Zhaoshi can only be barely included in the category of rare. There are many of them, the effect is average and the quantity is not lacking, so the price is naturally not much expensive.
go.
The real treasure is very precious, and the price lies in its two words——
"Strange" and "precious".
"What does the cold light stone do?" Zhang Tao couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't you see it?" Bai Mo said with a faint smile, "If you get closer, you will become like those guys."
Speaking, Bai Mo pointed forward.
Those...guys?
Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment, and when he looked forward, his expression suddenly became very frightening.
I saw that except for him and Bai Mo, everyone else who stayed in the Hansheng Mine had turned into the same posture as Wang Yao, with frozen expressions on their faces, but their bodies were constantly repeating mechanical dance steps, making clicking sounds.
sound.
"Gulu."
He swallowed and said in a trembling voice: "What happened to them?"
Bai Mo did not give in and replied: "The light of the cold light stone has a radiation effect, accompanied by extremely low temperatures. The coverage range is about seven meters in radius. It is only targeted at living organisms. Once exposed, it will freeze active liquids within the range, including blood and
Body fluids and other components.”
"In other words, the blood in these people's bodies has been frozen?" Zhang Tao asked with a wide mouth.
"right."
"Since you know, why didn't you remind everyone just now?" After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Tao suddenly asked.
"Why remind?"
Bai Mo looked at him and said calmly: "The time required for freezing depends on the distance from Leng Guanshi. Those people just had a chance to run away at first, but they didn't, otherwise they wouldn't be frozen."
Zhang Tao opened his mouth, as if he didn't know what to say. He hesitated for a while and said: "Then...will they die?"
Bai Mo shook his head.
"Not only are they not dead, but if they stay like this, they might live longer than you."
He smiled half-heartedly and said, "Relying on freezing technology to obtain 'immortality' should be a topic that has been discussed for a long time. After all, there are so many people who want to live forever."
"Well, having said that, it doesn't seem to be any different from dying..."
Zhang Tao smiled bitterly, then suddenly reacted and said seriously, "Besides, if this thing is so dangerous, why do we still stay here?"
"Who said this thing is dangerous?"
Bai Mo suddenly spoke up, shook his head and said, "You know, in the past, cold light stone has been sought after by two kinds of people... It is one of the indispensable cultivation resources for practitioners. As long as it is used properly, practitioners can get a lot from it.
Big benefit.”
"Resources for practitioners..."
Zhang Tao breathed a little faster, but still shook his head firmly, "But this has nothing to do with us, right? You also said that once we get too close, we will become like that."
He looked at those people whose consciousness was frozen but still made strange movements, and the enthusiasm in his heart was instantly extinguished.
"Don't you have some warm candies? Eat them all, so you have a chance to get the Cold Light Stone."
At this moment, Bai Mo on the side spoke calmly, which made Zhang Tao feel a little moved again.
"But I don't have to get this thing." After a while, he smiled bitterly.
Bai Mo smiled slightly: "Believe me, its value is beyond your imagination...it can even make you a transcendent."
His voice was low, with a hint of confusion.
Become...an extraordinary person?
Hearing this, Zhang Tao was stunned.
In his opinion, all the words Bai Mo had said before combined were not as real as this sentence.
Maybe he didn't realize it before, but after the restricted area was expanded and he experienced countless incidents, he understood very well what power meant in troubled times.
If he just wanted to get the cold light stone and sell it at a good price, then he would definitely leave, because he has no doubt that there is definitely a group of people waiting outside the mine, waiting for someone to get out!
Once he goes up there with the cold light stone, the consequences can be imagined.
However... if you want to become a transcendent, it is worth trying anyway!
He looked at Bai Mo with some worry: "Brother Bai, are you really sure it's okay?"
"Of course, I don't know if you have ever heard of a restricted area called Cold Death Valley. The temperature in the valley is below minus 50 degrees all year round, because there are a large number of cold light stones hidden there. It was once a training ground where many powerful people gathered.
”
"S-level restricted area Cold Death Valley! Have you ever gone in and seen it?" Zhang Tao was shocked.
Cold Death Valley is an S-level restricted area that has only appeared recently. Few people have explored it, so there has been very little information circulated. Why does Baiwu know something about it?
Also, why does he know the cold light stone?
How long ago was it?
Bai Mo didn't care if he inadvertently revealed important information. He just smiled and said, "It's not surprising that I know more. In fact, I'm quite knowledgeable."
"...So, are you interested in this cold light stone?"
Zhang Tao is not a fool. How could he still not see that Bai Mo is not an ordinary person? And if what the other party said is true, then his chance to change his destiny may be today!
So after a brief thought, he resolutely ate all the warm candies and ran towards the cold light stone without saying a word in the middle of the process -
He expressed his decision with actions.
He did have a feeling of blood coagulation during the journey, but he didn't feel cold at all.
The warm sugar made the blood all over his body flow like a rushing river, and it was as hot as magma, which seemed to be just enough to offset the freezing radiation of the cold light stone.
So, in Zhang Tao's eyes, which even he could not believe, he actually picked up the cold light stone easily.
And at the same time that he touched the cold light stone, the light on the stone suddenly disappeared, as if it fell into silence.
He thought something unexpected had happened, and turned around to look at Bai Mo in shock.
Bai Mo seemed to have expected this, nodded slightly, and then said to him from a distance: "Don't worry, keep digging down there."
Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to have any intention of coming to help.
Zhang Tao hesitated for a moment, chose to trust Bai Mo, picked up the tool and started digging.
Not long after digging, his expression suddenly became dull.
Because under his feet was a series of golden lights that shone so brightly that people couldn't open their eyes - it seemed like there were all cold stones below!
In the distance, Bai Mo is thoughtful, as if he has some enlightenment.
"As expected."
He said before that the cold light stone is an interesting treasure with many functions, but it has always been pursued by two groups.
One kind of group is of course practitioners who regard it as an important spiritual resource.
And the other kind... is the sleeping person who pursues immortality.
So the moment he saw the many cold light stones, Bai Mo realized...
