Chapter 885 Treasure Hunt (2 updates
Classmate Le Xiao doesn’t know whether handsome guy Yan is causing trouble or not, nor does he know what happened to the scumbags. She is unique in the world. Climbing all over the mountains on Socotra Island, looking for plant seedlings and collecting stones.
At noon on the 21st of China, the local time on Socotra Island was still early morning, and it was not yet dawn. When Yan The handsome guy reversed the incident in the video by throwing his ultimate move, but Le Yun still stayed in her space, busy learning to draw talisman, studying, and taking care of precious medicinal materials.
In the early morning of local time in Yemen, Le Yun climbed out of the space , excitedly headed towards the goal again, climbing over mountains and ridges, avoiding herds of goats, bypassing inhabited settlements or caves, crossing large and small valleys, climbing high and low mountains, and finally arrived at the goal after noon.
It is a limestone mountain not far from the coast. There are only two hills away from the coast. The rocks near the coast are steeper. There are no beaches, only weathered rocks rolling downhill. The sea water will wash away the rocks on the mountain. Since there is no road, it can only be reached by boat. Generally, the coast is inaccessible.
The destination of Le Xiao’s classmate is on the mountainside of a higher limestone mountain. The place is the connection point between the top of a small hill and the big mountain where the big mountain top protrudes. It is a point on the side facing the sea, not the concave connection point where the small hill top and the big mountain are connected.
On the other side of the mountain is a narrow valley. There are residents in the flat land of the valley. Fortunately, the side facing the sea is steep and has no water source, so there are several habitable caves on the mountain. It is also ownerless.
Most of the limestone mountain is rock layer, and there are not many plants covering it. There are only a few dracaenas, desert roses and succulents. Probably because of the strong sea breeze, the dracaenas are not covered by many plants. In order to adapt to the environment, the height is shorter than in some places.
Finding a place, Le Yun climbed up to the sloping side of the mountain and looked at the sky and the earth seriously, looking at a spiritual light. , first she smiled stupidly, and then her face drooped into a bitter melon face.
There was a beam of aura light where she found it. The light was just a tiny bit different from the ink-colored water tank she had found in the mountains of Mount Wutai. It is comparable to the rich spiritual light of the stone, only the color is slightly lighter, and the beam is irregular.
That beam of spiritual light is so strong that it can be seen very far away. In her strange During the eye function scan, from a distance, it looks like a searchlight sweeping the sky from the sea.
I was busy looking for plant seedlings in the past few days, so I didn’t rush to find the spiritual energy beam at the first time. Nowadays, almost all the plant species in a certain area have been collected, so Le Yun came to look for the treasure excitedly.
The address of the spiritual light pillar was found, but... the place made me want to cry. The aura light came from around a dragon blood tree.It means that Dong XZ is in the soil or rocks, it is probably very rare, so even if it is hidden so well, it cannot hide the aura halo.
The place where the dragon's blood tree grows is filled with soil and many stones. Moreover, the scent of the dragon's blood leaves is different from that of other dragon's blood trees. It carries another elegant fragrance, It means that its root system has been in contact with something with spiritual energy and absorbed its nutrients, so it has the aroma of something.
"How can we dig this?" Leaning on a rock, Le Yun was worried, her brows knotted with worry. The beam of light was a little wider than the umbrella crown of the dragon blood tree, indicating that it was very big. , As for how deep it is, I don’t know, and whether it’s rock or something underneath, I don’t know!
There are people living in the narrow valley behind the mountain. If she digs down, if she makes a noise and alerts the people over there to find out, she will be caught and the whole game will be over. Moreover, she has to beware of the sky. Whether there are drones, whether there are ships coming and going on the distant sea, whether there are drones in the sky and people taking photos on the cruise ships, it is possible to capture her presence.
How to find spiritual treasures is a big problem.
Knowing where the treasure is, Le Yun expressed considerable sadness when facing the dry hard soil and stones. However, no matter what it is, it must be excavated and studied to determine whether it can be taken away, so it is better to be realistic. Study how to dig.
After observing for a long time, I chose a point on the slope side of the lower slope as the starting point for excavation. Using a triangle calculation, the selected point was about two meters long from the straight line extending downwards of the dragon blood tree. The distance was more than two meters high. She planned to dig a vertical pit from below to get to the bottom of the dragon's blood tree like a tomb robber.
There is a rock at the selected point. As long as people do not stand up, it can block the observation and capture of telescopes and other tools thrown from the direction of the sea. As for the top, after thinking for a long time, I removed the surrounding rocks. Empty it, crawl back into the space, find a few sticks and a piece of green moisture-proof cloth, place the sticks diagonally above the rock, press the other end with a stone, cover it with a cloth, and try to disguise it as a group of green plants, or like a tree. The top of the umbrella of the Dragon Blood Tree.
After camouflaging the scene, Le Yun took out a sharp-horned hoe and tried to dig the ground. The soil was very dry and hard. When she dug the hoe, it would splash up fine particles and ash, and the ground was covered with gravel. almost.
The sea breeze is a bit strong, but the sound of digging is still a bit heavy. Dig a hole first, and then pour the water from the water shortage into the ground until it is dry. There was a rumbling sound in the hard soil.
Pour a few buckets of water to make the soil moist before digging. After the soil is soaked in water, it is much easier to dig. Dig for a while and then pour the water. When digging, use bamboo baskets to pack the soil and throw it back into the space. After the excavation, the soil must be used to fill the hole, so that it does not need to be lost along the slope.
For the sake of safety, Leyun dug in the ground like a thief, her ears listening for sounds at all times. If she heard any sound that she felt was unsafe, she would first scout the environment, and then follow theChange your camouflage scene from time to time.
Fortunately, the location is quite advantageous. There are no human activities nearby. Only a small group of sheep passed by the mountainside of the main mountain in the middle of the afternoon.
Because there are many rocks mixed in the soil, it is necessary to dig out the rocks before continuing. It was not until evening that a vertical groove that could accommodate her two body widths was dug out, and she reached the densest place under the dragon blood tree. of the root circle and the edge of the aura light that will be visible.
Digging a trench also requires art and expertise. Dig to a certain length and width, block the gap at the excavation point with a stone wall, and then fill it back with soil, which can save a lot of effort and time. time.
Finally, she almost reached the edge of the spiritual energy beam. Le Yun took a rest for a while, washed her hands and ate space fruits to replenish her physical strength. She started working with great excitement, starting from six to seventy centimeters above the ground. Dig horizontally for a while to remove some of the soil between the tree roots, then use the large scissors used to prune landscape trees to cut off some of the roots, and then poke the soil with a pointed awl.
After poking and prying the soil for a long time, I finally cleared a place and found something in the gap between the tree roots. It was a stone-like object, silver and white, like a fossil.
Even though the soil is still stuck, you can still smell a faint smell.
"Fossils of ambergris...?" Pulling away a piece of soil, she saw a palm-sized piece of yellow and white rock-like stuff. Le Yun opened her mouth in surprise. Mom, how many years did it take for whale poop to become fossilized?
It is said that Cable Island has been isolated from the continental plate for 18 million years. Cable Island and the connected continent were once oceans unknown tens of millions of years ago. The sea floor gradually rose due to crustal movements and submarine volcanic eruptions. , the original seamounts rose into land mountains, which evolved over countless years to form continents.
Therefore, if you are lucky, you can often find fossils of many animals on Suo Island, including fossils of ancient marine life. It is not surprising to find fossils of whales and other fish.
Whale feces fossils are rare anywhere.
Ambergris is actually the food eaten by sperm whales that has not been fully digested and their intestinal secretions condensed into a solid. Sometimes it is spit out by sperm whales, and sometimes it is excreted through excretion. The original ambergris Black and soft, with an unpleasant smell, it will harden, fade and emit fragrance after being washed by sunlight, air and sea water for many years.
Although ambergris itself is a stone-like solid, it is actually like wax and has a very light texture, so it is also called gray amber in the West.
A corner of ambergris was exposed in the soil. It was probably petrified because it had been buried in the soil for too long. The color of the surface of the fossil is very pure. It is the excrement of whales that has been washed and washed by sea water for countless years in the ocean. What it looks like after all the impurities have been removed.
“That’s not right.Ah, the smell in the dragon's blood leaves is not just the scent of ambergris. Le Yun murmured, her brows knitting into knots again. The scent in the dragon's blood leaves is quite complex. It should be more than just ambergris, indicating that there may be other treasures.
The Sun It was almost sunset. Because of the umbrella shape of the dragon blood tree and the shadow of the camouflage, the light in the groove was a little dark. Le Yun climbed out of the pit and took away the camouflage cloth to make the light brighter and jumped into the groove again, revealing Pry the fossil at one corner down into the soil to see how long and wide it is to determine how to dig it.
Facts have proved that the length of the fossil is not short, and it is still there even after prying it down a long way. , until she reached the bottom of the trench she dug, she still hadn’t dug to the end.
Now Le Yun had to sadly admit that she had made a mistake in her calculations. The depth of the trench she dug was not deep enough. What should she do? Of course she continued. Dig, dig, dig, dig all the way to the end, even if you may not be able to get them all away in the end, you still have to find out, find out the length of the fossil, and see how big that piece of scented whale shit is.
The sun has already On the way down the mountain, even the birds returned to their nests one after another. There were no boats coming to the nearby sea, and usually no one would run up the mountain. She felt more at ease, so she stepped back a few dozen centimeters, exerted all her strength, and waved a sharp hoe. , digging holes and digging hard.
From when the sun sets to when the sun submerges below the horizon, from dusk to darkness, from not needing external light sources to wearing headlamps for illumination, After sweating profusely and working tirelessly overtime, I dug out a groove one meter deep and one meter long again, which formed a stepped level with the groove dug the first time, because I didn’t know if it was still necessary. It is necessary to dig deeper and transport all the soil back to the space for storage.
Dig a little deeper, climb out of the pit again, rest and eat to replenish your strength. When you are full of strength, you can start working again, moving along the position of the fossil. Prying the soil below, looking for treasures.
Facts once again proved that her sense of smell was correct. There were not only ambergris fossils but also other objects between the roots of the dragon blood tree. She pried down about thirty centimeters. Other fossils were exposed in the distance, all of which were marine animal fossils, crowded together with the ambergris fossils.
Continue to clean up the soil, there are stones and fossils, all crowded together. , after cleaning for a while, the ambergris fossils have reached the end, but the pile of stones mixed with fossils has not, and there is still no end when it reaches the bottom of the groove.
“This is the rhythm of making a fortune. ? "Seeing that there was still a fossil in the soil that was level with the groove, Le Yun touched her little chin happily, wishing she could laugh three hundred times to express her ecstasy.
Man, it's true. It’s better to be kind. She has a kind heart and won’t refuse patients with difficult and complicated diseases. That’s why she was able to facilitate this trip to Africa. During the trip to Africa, she had to go to Socotra Island. Only when she came to Socotra Island could she find her. A spiritual treasure.
Being able to obtain a visa for Yemen was also a blessing due to Mr. Ferrari's personal connections. Mr. Ferrari had a wide network of contacts and knew a diplomatic ambassador of Saudi Arabia. Yemen was invaded by rebel militants, and Saudi Arabia assisted Yemen in forming a coalition army. To retake the Yemeni capital and other places, the Yemeni government relied heavily on Saudi Arabia's protection. Therefore, with a little help, Saudi Arabian diplomats opened the door for Mr. Ferrari's so-called friends to apply for electronic visas.
Due to the unstable domestic situation in Yemen, it is largely relaxed for Europeans to apply for visas. Applications from other regions are more strict. If Leyun applies for an electronic visa by herself, the success rate is only Five points, old Mr. Ferrari left the relationship, and the success rate became 100%.
Thinking that a large number of fossils would be collected by her, and that the space might be expanded by being replenished with spiritual energy, Le Yun was full of energy and picked up the hoe to continue digging.
A few meters into the ground, the soil is moist and it takes less effort to dig. I dug hard for more than an hour, removed a few rocks, and dug a pit one and a half meters deep.
It was really deep in terms of depth. Looking up, you could only see a narrow patch of sky with four corners. Le Yun once again cleaned the soil along the areas with fossils.
This time, I cleaned down about half a meter. The fossilized rocks were gone, and the root system of the dragon's blood tree was gone, but a curved section about thirty centimeters thick was exposed. Shell fossils are available in peacock blue and pinkish purple. Even if the fossil is covered with mud, its aura and luster cannot be concealed.
Seeing it, Le Yun finally understood why spiritual energy could break through the surface of the earth and be reflected in the sky. If I am not mistaken, it is the Ku's Tridacna clam. Tridacna is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism. It is itself Extremely rare, Tridacna fossils are even more precious.
The reason why aura is second only to the ink-colored water vat is that the rarity of the two treasures is still different. After her research, the ink-colored water vat should be an alien stone or one found on earth. The special material formed after hundreds of millions of years of changes buried in the soil is a rare foreign resource. Tridacna is a native product, so the aura of the ink-colored water tank is difficult to compare with other things.
The reason why there are many marine fossils gathered together is probably because they fell into the belly of the clam and were buried by the sea mud. After countless years of evolution, many marine organisms have changed. into fossils, and some sea mud turned into stones.
The earth has undergone crustal changes, and the mountains in the sea have turned into mountains on land. The clams are still buried in the soil. Because the soil layer on the surface has not been washed away, they continue to sleep in the soil until they are washed away. Uninvited guests discover auras and dig them out, giving them a chance to see the light of day.
There were originally a bunch of fish, shellfish and ambergris fossils. Le Yun was extremely happy. She also found a Tridacna fossil. A huge surprise fell from the sky and hit her in the eye. Risk the stars, huh?Smiling like a fool, he happily picked up the hoe and cleaned the soil again.
After unremitting efforts to clean up, the other half of the clam shell was found. The gap between the shell and the shell was about 40 centimeters wide, with rocks and soil stuck in it. Judging from the position, the clam shell was It was lying sideways in the soil, its mouth tilted toward the sky, and the end was less than ten centimeters above the bottom of the dug groove.
In order to dig out the fossils of Tridacna and all marine organisms, Le Yun dug downward again, and then dug about twenty centimeters deeper, and then dug clockwise along the edge of the aura range. .
Based on the width of the aura, it was impossible to dig out the entire area in one night. In order to dig without being discovered during the day, she decided to dig a tunnel. Sound spreads slowly in the ground, and it is difficult to spread out. It is relatively small and difficult to be heard. As long as the dug groove is camouflaged and covered, there is no need to worry about drones flying around in the sky.
Just do it. Excavate at a position about twenty centimeters thick from the ground. First dig a step about one meter high, and then dig down step by step.
In order to dig out the treasure as soon as possible, Leyun also worked hard. She meditated on time at eleven o'clock. After one o'clock, she finished her practice, had something to eat and continued to work. She kept digging tunnels until she got close to them. There is a rock layer on one side of the mountain, and the stones are stuck. It is very time-consuming. It takes only one night to dig out a tunnel that is as long as the arc corresponding to a 120° angle in the circle.
Because the sky was getting brighter, she had to climb out of the tunnel to eat first, then find the groove surface of the wooden slats from the space, and then put some rocks as a shelter, leaving an entrance and exit, and covering it. A slate.
After checking for safety, I went into the tunnel and continued working. I didn’t dare to work too hard during the day and tried not to make too much noise. I dug for a while and ran to the entrance and exit to check if anyone was passing by nearby to make sure no one was working anymore. .
After digging for a long time, because there were too many rocks on the mountainside, it was too easy to make clanking noises, so I dug counterclockwise instead, with the mentality of a thief. When it got dark, I once again let go of my courage and worked as a miner. I dug until nearly ten o'clock to open the tunnel.
Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice give birth to cubs that can burrow. After being a mouse for a while, Le Xiao’s classmate spent all his energy and worked hard and sweating profusely. , the hard work paid off, and the tunnels were finally connected. Although it was not a perfect connection, it was a real connection.
After completing a big project, the little loli was so tired that her back ached, her hands cramped, and her face was gray. She sat down on the ground and panted. Oh my god, digging for treasures is a physical job. It’s so tiring! If handsome guy Yan was here and let him work as a digger, she wouldn't have to work so hard.
That’s not right!
Le Yun wiped away the sweat and pressed her head. Why do you always think of that guy Yan when something happens? After thinking for three seconds, she felt that she shouldIt’s time to get used to working with him, so when I encounter manual labor, the first thing I think of is Yan. Well, that guy is destined to be a hard worker!
