Although Jiang Yue didn't know the specific time of the impact, he calculated that this time must be after the First Change Day.
In other words, it must have been after Professor Lu and the others disappeared.
Therefore, Professor Lu and Assistant Zuo should not be aware of the existence of the impact zone.
"Brother Jiang, are you going down?" Brother Zhi asked.
At this time, Xiao Gao had already descended to their vicinity and could enter the impact zone at any time.
Although many days have passed since the impact, the closer you get to the core area, you can still feel that the temperature is much higher than the outer periphery.
Jiang Yue nodded and signaled Brother Zhi, who was closest to the core area, to go down first.
Brother Zhi was happy, and without any further hesitation, he slid down the rope. When his body was only four or five meters away from the core area, Brother Zhi jumped lightly and landed smoothly in the impact area.
Brother Zhi glanced around a few times and found nothing unusual, so he waved and said, "Come down."
Han Jingjing and Jiang Yue did not hesitate and went down the rope one after another.
Xiao Gao's skills were the weakest among the four, but with the help of the rope, he managed to land successfully.
Brother Zhi said sternly: "Brother Jiang, when we get here, let me say a few words that touch my heart."
"Speaking."
"The Du Yifeng in your team never believed that we would be selfless. He always thought that we would hide our selfish interests, engage in small tricks, and hide the rough stones instead of distributing them. Right?"
"Brother Zhi, he's a very outspoken person. But from the standpoint of being a bait, it's only natural for him to think that way."
Brother Zhi nodded thoughtfully.
"The key is not what they think, but what we do."
"What are you going to do, Brother Zhi?"
Brother Zhi smiled meaningfully: "What should I do, do you all listen to me?"
Xiao Gao first expressed his position: "I will definitely listen to Brother Zhi."
"As long as it's reasonable, I have no problem with it," Jiang Yue said.
It goes without saying that Han Jingjing has always been with Jiang Yue.
"Okay! I have a suggestion here: No matter how many rough stones we can get from this trip, we will put them all together, and no one is allowed to store them privately. After all the rough stones are found, we will conduct an inventory on site. Then we will discuss how to distribute them?
"
This suggestion seems to be quite satisfactory, but it is actually quite wise.
Put them together first to avoid lining your own pockets. The biggest advantage of doing this is that it can avoid conflicts in the impact area.
Everyone can cooperate sincerely to ensure that there are no conflicts in the process of finding rough stones and that the rough stones can be collected smoothly.
Moreover, the phrase "we will discuss how to allocate it when the time comes" leaves a lot of room for imagination and manipulation, and inevitably creates an illusion for people.
After the inventory, can there be some gray space for operation?
The gaping hole in the impact area was quite large. It could be clearly seen at the scene that the impact was oblique. The trajectory of the rough rock that was struck that day formed an acute angle of 50 to 60 degrees with the mountain wall.
It seems that the crater created by the impact is indeed quite large.
However, considering that this is a meteorite that fell from the sky, the impact and energy generated are amazing.
It looks like such a big pit, but the actual size of the rough stone may not be that big.
Although it is not like finding a needle in a haystack, it is actually quite difficult to collect these rough stone fragments in such tragic ruins.
The hole is about twenty to thirty meters deep, with gravel and soil mixed together.
Fortunately, it hasn't rained recently, and the soil is still powdery and not mushy, so it's relatively less difficult to rummage through it.
It was broad daylight, so some light from outside could shine in, and with the beams of four flashlights, it was enough to ensure lighting.
Jiang Yue suggested that the site should be gridded and then searched area by area. This would avoid repeated searches, make it more orderly, and make it more efficient.
To their disappointment, after half an hour, several grids were turned over and nothing was found except gravel and soil.
Xiao Gaotou couldn't hold himself back: "Brother Zhi, is there something wrong with Brother Hao's news?"
"What's the hurry? Keep looking."
Jiang Yue suddenly squatted down and touched a palm-sized piece of stone. The color of this piece of stone was a little different, obviously different from the gravel left after the collision with the mountain wall.
The color is jet black, and it is thinner, with obvious curvature. It feels like the shell of an egg peeled off.
"Is this a rough stone?" Brother Zhi asked in surprise.
Jiang Yue felt it for a moment. There was faint energy residue in this piece of stone, but it was so weak that it was almost negligible.
With such a big palm, the energy felt is not as much as one thousandth of the size of a rice grain from Brother Hao last time.
However, no matter how weak it is, there is still residual aura after all.
Jiang Yue said solemnly: "We should be close to the core area of the impact, keep digging!"
This discovery gave Jiang Yue and the others great motivation.
Soon, similar stone flakes were discovered one after another.
"Found it!" Han Jingjing's eyes were sharp. After moving away a piece of gravel, she suddenly found a small piece of rock candy-sized lying in the gap.
The color is exactly the same as the rice-sized rough stone provided by Brother Hao.
After carefully arranging the gloves, Han Jingjing picked them up.
Others immediately gathered around and observed carefully.
"Yes, this is the original stone!" Brother Zhi exclaimed with joy.
Don't underestimate this small piece, it is much better than the rice-sized one of Brother Hao, and it is at least ten times the size.
Such a small piece of rough stone is not light at all when held in the hand, and it feels very heavy.
Jiang Yue took it and felt it, and immediately felt an invisible energy fluctuation, which formed a strange resonance with the blood fluctuations in his body.
It would be impossible to absorb such violent and turbulent energy directly. Even with Jiang Yue's current physical strength, if he were to absorb it forcefully, his body would probably explode on the spot.
"continue!"
Jiang Yue handed the original stone to Brother Zhi for safekeeping and asked everyone to continue searching.
With the appearance of the first rough stone, the harvests continued one after another.
In less than an hour, a dozen rough stones of similar size were found.
After violent impact, these rough stones were shattered so neatly that the largest one was no larger than a piece of fermented bean curd.
The smallest one is probably the first one, about the size of rock candy.
Soon, Jiang Yue and the others plowed through all the grids, and the rough stones they got were sixteen in total, large and small, piled together. They were at most the size of a pineapple, and they were pineapples with the skin removed.
Naturally, I am not willing to read it just once.
What if something slips through the net?
Brother Zhi also specifically gave an example, saying that when he was a child, he and his father dug water chestnuts in the countryside. His father dug in front, and most of the water chestnuts would be dug into the basket by his father, but there would always be fish that slipped through the net.
He rummaged through the back and found something better every time.
Therefore, this second and third time is very necessary.
Brother Zhi really got it right, and with their perseverance in digging, they actually found four more ones the second time.
These four are all small in size and can hide relatively deep.
By the third time, I found nothing.
It's a coincidence that we actually got a perfect number of twenty.
Brother Zhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, leaned towards the edge of the cave entrance, and murmured: "At the moment of impact, some of it should have splashed to the bottom of the cliff, right?"
Jiang Yue smiled bitterly, thinking that Brother Zhi still wanted to look for him under the cliff, right?
The core area of the impact has been checked. Even if some unexpected fish slip through the net and fall to the bottom, it is really like finding a needle in a haystack.
Not to mention that it is more difficult to get to the bottom of the valley, and it is still unknown whether we can find it.
It's noon now, and it might already be afternoon when we get to the bottom.
It is a consensus that we should leave before dark.
"Forget it, even if we go down, we'll probably be looking for a needle in a haystack." Brother Zhi sighed and decided to give up.
Twenty rough stones are placed on the stone surface.
Brother Zhi said: "There are four of us, each of us carries five pills."
With that said, Brother Zhi divided it into four parts as fairly as possible according to the size.
Xiao Gao swallowed: "Brother Zhi, do we... really want to take it out?"
Holding the five rough stones in his hand, Xiao Gao's breathing became rapid, his heartbeat accelerated, and his whole brain was congested.
Mastering five rough stones is equivalent to mastering the code of wealth.
He knew very well that taking these five little things with him could definitely change his destiny, or even the destiny of the entire family!
The words "priceless" are not an exaggeration at all when applied to these rough stones.
Even though the entire planet Gaia seems to have been hit by meteorites everywhere.
But not all meteorites are raw stones containing powerful energy.
This kind of meteorite containing super energy may be one of a million, or even rarer.
At least they have almost never heard of it in Star City. Except for occasional rumors on the black market, they have almost never heard of energy raw stones.
Xiao Gao couldn't calm down at all about the rough stones that were considered top-notch treasures on the black market.
Share equally with others?
This was like cutting flesh from his heart, he couldn't accept it at all.
Brother Zhi glanced at Jiang Yue, but he didn't express his position in a hurry this time.
His usual heroic spirit was obviously shaken at this time.
After all, Brother Zhi is not from a wealthy family. Although he is usually a generous person, when he really encounters the temptation of such huge interests, his structure is obviously greatly impacted, and the loyalty system that he usually adheres to in his heart begins to slowly collapse.
It's just that Brother Zhi, who always puts loyalty first, can't say it out loud.
It was obvious to him that Jiang Yue meant something.
As long as Jiang Yue and others agree to embezzle, he will definitely not object.
If you really want to take it out and divide it, each person can only divide two pieces out of twenty rough stones.
Xiao Chen is dead. Once the original stone is divided up, morally he must leave a share for his family? After all, he did his best and lost his life for it.
As long as you are not a fool, everyone knows the difference between two yuan and five yuan.
Jiang Yue actually had an insight into Brother Zhi's thoughts a long time ago.
Brother Zhi wanted him to say this, but Jiang Yue was thinking about another thing.
Seeing Jiang Yue's absent-minded look, Xiao Gao became anxious: "Brother Jiang, please stop being pretentious. Everyone has this idea, no one should feel embarrassed. It would be the same if they came in."
Brother Zhi said: "Brother Jiang, please tell me, Brother Zhi will listen to you this time."
"Brother Zhi, have you thought about it? First of all, you have to search yourself when you go out. Where is this thing hidden? Secondly, how do we explain it after we go out? Is there any excuse to deal with them that can convince them?"
There is definitely no such thing as being convinced.
As long as they go out empty-handed, even if they really don't find any rough stones, the decoys will definitely suspect that they are hiding something.
This is real human nature.
The moment they walked out empty-handed, to put it bluntly, it was the moment when both sides fell out.
Xiao Gao has obviously thought it through for a long time.
He curled his lips and said: "There is no need to make any excuses at all, just say that I can't find anything. If they don't believe it, the worst thing is that they can come in and look for it again."
As for where to hide things?
Needless to say?
Immortal Valley is so big, it's not a problem to just find a safe place to hide it and pick it up later when you have the opportunity.
Brother Zhi said: "Brother Jiang, please give me a happy word."
"As Brother Zhi said, it's settled." He glanced at Han Jingjing like this.
The two of them had a tacit understanding, and Han Jingjing nodded slightly to express her agreement.
"Then why are you hesitating? Just go up first. The longer you delay, the more suspicious they will be." Xiao Gao was very anxious. He felt that this astronomical wealth was getting closer and closer to him. He was the least calm among the four.
"Don't worry!"
Brother Zhi said: "We have to get rid of those stone skins. Otherwise, if they really ask to come up to check, it would be strange not to be suspicious after seeing those stone skins."
The stone skin was the first thing Jiang Yue and the others discovered before. It was like an egg shell, with weak energy fluctuations, but a surface layer of no value.
The meteorite that struck was certainly not small, but after the meteorite exploded, the surface layer was lifted, revealing the raw stone that truly contains high energy.
The outer layers of stone skin don't have much value.
The rough stone that Jiang Yue and the others obtained was completely the best version of the rough stone.
Compared with the cantaloupe-sized rough stone he got at the auction, it was obviously more pure.
Now it seems that the rough stone obtained from the trade fair should also have a layer of rough stone on the surface. The energy fluctuations are obviously suppressed.
Brother Zhi was very thoughtful, so they returned to the pit and threw the stone skins far into the deep valley.
They had already collected the stone skins in one location, so it was not difficult to dispose of them.
After finishing the processing, Xiao Gao said: "It's getting late, we have to go up first and find a place to hide things. So, I suggest that we go up with a time difference, one goes up every fifteen minutes. This way we have enough time.
Hide things well."
The rough stone was divided between the four of them, so the four of them would inevitably become a potential threat.
In addition to being wary of the decoys, the four of them also have to be wary of each other.
If it is not hidden well and others find out about it and secretly transfer it, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?
Brother Zhi thought it made sense and nodded in approval: "I think it will work."
Xiao Gao said again: "I am the weakest, I will go up first, you won't fight with me, right?"
Speaking of which, Brother Zhi couldn't possibly object.
Glancing at Jiang Yue, Jiang Yue smiled: "The order is the same. If you want to be the first, just be the first."
God knows where that Hao is hiding now. The first one to go up might be the first one to give Hao his head.
Xiao Gao had no idea that Ah Hao had come to the impact area. Using his hands and feet, he was much more agile than when he came down. After a while, he climbed up, jumped up to the road, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
