The mountains were high and the forests were dense. Qiao Chu followed the mineral vein all the way in. As he walked, there was no way.
The soil ahead is getting thicker and thicker, the vegetation is getting denser and denser, and traces of various animals are gradually appearing.
She walked through the air leisurely and finally stopped at the edge of a very lush meadow in the valley.
There is a small hole at the edge, and there are obvious traces of animals entering and exiting the cave entrance, as well as traces of blood stains.
But when Qiao Chu's spiritual power probed downwards, he discovered that there was Yuan Yu in a very shallow place.
She paused at the entrance of the cave and carefully walked inside.
"Cluck, cluck..." A sound similar to the crow of a chicken came, and before Qiao Chu could exit, a group of black shadows flew towards Qiao Chu, and even went straight towards Qiao Chu.
Qiao Chu kicked it away, causing a cry of "chirp, cluck, cluck". Qiao Chu's spiritual power shrouded it, and then he discovered: There was an unknown beast in the cave that had died not long ago, and a nest of chickens!
The ones that were chirping were about a dozen chicks, and the one that just bumped into and was kicked unconscious was the big rooster.
There were also three chickens guarding the chicks, clucking and looking alert.
Hey!
It really is……
Qiao Chu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She took out a bamboo basket filled with food from the storage bag and put the chicks in it. At the same time, she tied the wings of the rooster and the hen together with a rope, preparing to take them back later.
Now the two children can eat chicken and eggs.
After using stones to hold down the basket and the rope, Qiao Chu began to dig for Yuan Yu.
The excavated soil was put directly into the storage bag and soon reached the basalt layer.
Spiritual power was poured into the chisel that had been prepared long ago. Qiao Chu raised a barrier to isolate the sound, and chiseled in with a hammer...
When a black translucent stone that was warm to the touch fell into the palm of his hand, Qiao Chu's heart skipped a beat.
This is Yuan Jade that contains rich Yuan Power!
Lin'er, just wait, my mother will come to you soon.
Qiao Chu did not dare to be careless and put the dug Yuan Yu directly into the space of the Immortal Mansion...
After digging for about an hour, Qiao Chu stopped: He had to go back as soon as possible today, otherwise it would easily arouse everyone's suspicion.
Looking at the twenty or so Yuan Yu pieces in the Immortal Mansion space, Qiao Chu narrowed his eyes with contentment.
When Qiao Chu appeared in front of Chen Qingshan, Bai Guili and others at the quarry carrying a basket of chicks and four big fat chickens, everyone was stunned.
"You can actually catch the colorful flying phoenix? Or is it a nest? Nothing attacks you?" Bai Guili asked in disbelief.
Qiao Chu was also shocked, and mentioned the chicken with particularly beautiful fur: "This is called the colorful flying phoenix?"
Isn't this a chicken?
Why is it still called colorful flying phoenix?
Isn’t the name a bit big?!
Dashu explained quickly: "These colorful flying phoenixes never live alone, they always live with the burrowing beasts. They catch insects in the gaps of the burrowing beasts' scales, and the burrowing beasts protect them... once
They are dangerous and they can fly, so they are difficult to catch."
Having said this, Dashu looked at the storage bag on Qiao Chu's waist and asked, "Didn't you see the burrowing beast?"
Qiao Chu took out the belched beast corpse from the storage bag: "Is this what you're talking about?"
Everyone: "..."
Chen Qingshan took a look and saw that the burrowing beast was shaped like a pangolin. It was obviously injured in the abdomen during the fight and bled to death.
Looking at the wound, it must have been caused by a wild beast. Unexpectedly, it was picked up by Qiao Chu...
"Qingshan family, you are so lucky..." Bai Guili was speechless.
Before, I was worried that Qiao Chu would never come back when he went into the mountains, but not only did he come back, he also brought back a burrowing beast and a group of colorful flying phoenixes!
Qiao Chu raised the burrowing beast in his hand: "Can this thing be eaten?"
"You actually... plan to eat it?" Bai Guili was speechless again.
It was Dashu who explained: "This burrowing beast is fast, its scales are very tough, and it has fangs in its mouth. It can be sold for a good price. The price of this burrowing beast can buy ten wild pigs. You can
It’s a pity to eat it like this.”
Qiao Chu was shocked and looked at Chen Qingshan.
Chen Qingshan asked Bai Guili: "Where can I sell this earth-burrowing beast?"
Bai Guili: "You can sell it right at the entrance of the quarry. You can sell it directly to the petty officials."
Dashu said again: "The little official didn't give much."
Bai Guili glared at Dashu: "If you want to sell more, you need to go to Fucheng! It will take several days! And..."
Bai Guili paused, and chose to be honest with some embarrassment: "By buying the Earth-Drilling Beast, I can get the praise of my superiors, and when the time comes, I can also let the petty officials speak for our village when the mining rights are divided..."
Chen Qingshan and Qiao Chu understood and asked Bai Guili: "How much can this earth-burrowing beast be sold for?"
"Probably we can sell... thousands of silver beans..." Bai Guili has never sold anything before, so he can only estimate.
Once they heard that they were selling only silver beans, Chen Qingshan and Qiao Chu didn't care: It's just silver beans...
"If I sell the burrowing beast to a clerk, can I take some small pieces of basalt home and build a house?"
Chen Qingshan had enough of living in that shabby thatched hut.
Bai Guili understood immediately when he heard it: "Of course it is possible. Such small and thin pieces can be used to repair houses, and they are extremely strong. You only need to say hello to the clerk."
This kind of scrap is considered to be scrap. It can be found everywhere in Rolling Stone Village. There is nothing unusual about taking it away. However, there are a lot of them here. You don’t need to collect them everywhere, so it is more convenient.
Chen Qingshan felt relieved after receiving this promise.
Bai Guili thought for a while and then said: "If you can help our village get first place, the men in our village will take a day off from work and help you knock down the house and build it again!"
When Chen Qingshan heard this, he immediately became happy: "Okay! Then it's settled."
The men were also happy when they heard this: What if they can get better mineral deposits during the mine distribution, so that everyone can save more time and increase more income, so what if they build a house for Chen Qingshan and the others?!
Sure enough, when the clerk saw the burrowing beast, his eyes widened. When he learned that Qiao Chu had accidentally picked it up in the mountains, he even called him lucky!
Chen Qingshan explained his needs, and the clerk smiled happily: "No problem, you can take away those thin ones, as much as you want."
It's just broken rocks, worthless.
"Then how many silver beans can this earth-burrowing beast give us?" Chen Qingshan asked.
Everyone was also staring at the little official.
The clerk hesitated for a moment: "You are that very strong man, your name is Chen Qingshan, right?"
Chen Qingshan: "Yes."
"Wait a minute, I'll let our guard chief come and talk to you."
The clerk went in, and soon a middle-aged man with unshaven beard came out.
Chen Qingshan could see the murderous aura in this middle-aged man at a glance: he had been on the battlefield and killed more than one or two people.
The man looked at Chen Qingshan, then looked at the earth-burrowing beast, and couldn't help but praise: "What a good luck! You have encountered such a century-old beast! I will give you two thousand for this earth-burrowing beast.
Silver beans!”
Two thousand silver beans?!
Qiao Chu was stunned: Isn’t it just a large pangolin? Is it so valuable?!
