Chapter 209 Accidental Treasure
Chapter 209: An unexpected treasure
An hour later, "Wild Lily" and the other 18 people stood on a huge sky-bound rock, looking down at the thing hanging under the rock like a honeycomb, and a feeling of indescribability appeared in my heart.
In fact, it took us less than a quarter of an hour to come to the place where the "Wild Lily" and the others were attacked, but it took us more than half an hour to find the so-called "treasure".
According to life habits, "Flying Gu" and bees are somewhat similar. They work collectively, they are both very small but have the ability to fly. There is another similarity that the two are both strongly aggressive.
These three characteristics together form the extraordinary strength and deterrence of the "Flying Gu". Therefore, there is nothing strange about the "Flying Gu" building a nest like a bee. However, the only surprising thing is that the remaining "Flying Gu" in the "Gu nest" constantly moves a kind of gleaming red stone similar to rubies into the "Gu nest".
In just over half an hour, the size of the red stones they moved into the "Gu Nest" far exceeds that of the "Gu Nest" itself. This strange situation made me and the female knights of the "Sishui Gang" look at each other. Could it be that those "Flying Gu" use this red stone as food?
"You said, are those red stones rubies?" "Wild Lily" finally kept speaking, expressing what I thought might be the same as everyone on the scene.
I nodded and whispered softly: "It's very likely. But according to my experience, those red stones also contain an energy, which seems to be between water and soil. So, I think it's much more useful than ornamentality, and maybe it's a new type of energy storage device.
In fact, the practicality of the "soul bead" transformed from inner alchemy has been shown to all players, and the blacksmith, "formula master" and related professions have made this resource battle lively. It is said that some of them acted at that time and fought hard without hesitation. Unfortunately, for the blacksmith, except for a few, few people know how to "transform" the skill, let alone reach the master level I have.
In this vigorous battle for resources, some people are happy and some are sad. Those players who are lucky enough to learn the "transformation" skills of blacksmiths or other players who can use the "soul bead" skills have made a fortune in this sport; and those players who are unable to compare with those strong blacksmiths have become laid-off members under such an impact.
This is an inevitable thing for the development of the game. Fortunately, I had used people's ignorance to collect a large number of "soul beads" and earned a lot of gold coins from it.
Since I said that there is energy in it, these rubies may really become a hot commodity like "soul beads". In addition, the rubies themselves seem to exist in a mine, which may trigger a fierce resource war, which is not just commercial interests, but perhaps the result is countless blood and killings.
Thinking of this, I glanced at the "wild lily" beside me, but I didn't know that "wild lily" looked at me at the same time. I noticed the worry in the other person's eyes, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"It seems that we need to have a good talk about this." "Wild Lily" said softly with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
"I think so." I turned around and looked at the source of the ruby, a cave over one person tall, and whispered softly: "This matter cannot be known to anyone other than us, it will trigger a war."
"So, what do you think should be handled?" Hearing the words "war", "Wild Lily" frowned slightly.
"It's very simple-" I paused slightly and chuckled, "We work together to develop this deposit and finally share the benefits."
"We?" "Wild Lily" asked in confusion: "Are you talking about the 'Iron Blood Sect' and the 'Si Shui Gang'?"
"No, no!" I shook my finger and said, "It's not that I don't want to give this benefit to the 'Iron Blood Sect'. In fact, one more person knows this, one more danger of secret disclosure. So, it's only for nineteen of us to know. Moreover, the final gains are divided into nineteen, and each person gets one. Of course, if you can trust me, I am fully responsible for selling rubies and realizing their maximum benefits."
After listening to my words, "Wild Lily" was a little stunned. After a while, she came to her senses and replied, "This, I think I need to talk to them and then give you a reply."
"Of course." I shrugged and agreed to the "Wild Lily" request.
"Wild Lily" walked aside and chatted with her sisters. Originally, I didn't want to listen to their conversation, but because of their ears, their conversation still entered my ears without missing a trace. In this case, I was embarrassed to walk away because that might make them misunderstand me and eavesdrop on their conversation.
I kept accepting the content of their conversation in my ears, but my eyes were constantly observing the situations of the "Flying Gu" entering and leaving the cave. Based on the speed of the "Flying Gu" and the time of each round trip, I roughly estimated that the cave was four or five hundred meters deep. This was just a matter of considering the possible time for the "Flying Gu" to dig rubies, otherwise the cave would be deeper.
Caves, especially such narrow caves, often hook up with dangers. The smaller the cave, the less it is, the more impossible it is to dodge possible attacks; and such deep caves are often extremely dark, which is full of endless unknown dangers for ordinary players. Even with excellent eyesight, I dare not ensure my safety in such an environment.
How can we reduce unnecessary dangers? Anyway, this matter is not urgent. I can use slow skills to open a large channel, then insert thousands of torches into it, and advance it layer by layer with step-by-step tactics.
After I outlined this tactic in my mind, the "Wild Lily" and the others also had a negotiation result. Each of them thought it was very appropriate for me to be fully responsible for this matter, not because I had saved their lives indirectly before.
Some of the female knights believed that life-saving grace would be fine even if they gave me their own part. I sighed very much when I heard this. There are few such pure ideas in the world now.
Another idea is that as the "first person" of the "Oriental Continent" in "The World" (I felt a little ashamed when I heard it), if I secretly fed myself or had uneven distribution of spoils, uh, it was uneven distribution, then they would form a beautiful girl group to expose this matter and let everyone know.
Even a way of expressing a very hope that I would do this in my words made me feel heartbroken. Women, from then on, have added the adjectives of "terrible" and "crazy" in my mind.
Of course, there is another common idea that with my reputation and status, I will never do such unwise behavior, so I don’t need any worries at all. What’s more, if I do this, they will definitely spread the matter, so I will never get more benefits than normal. So, even for myself, I will not be so stupid.
This view made me very impressed. I also knew that these female players are sometimes not as simple as they appear. Just look at the tycoons in the mall now, there are nearly half of the outstanding women, which is a very exaggerated problem.
"Wild Lily" walked gently to me, and looked at the cave in the distance and said, "We have discussed it, agreed to your conditions, and handed over everything to you. Also, we hope that Boss Mo can sell our sisters a piece of crystal jewelry. You must know that the system store has shrunk significantly now, and there are no such similar jewelry on the market."
"Well, of course there is no problem with this." Of course I know this. In fact, since Zhang San got the number of goods sold in the system store from his former friends, he removed all the crystal jewelry that was already fewer than before from the shelves. He hoped that with the future "rareness" of crystal jewelry, its value will be greatly improved.
That was also what happened during the period when I was fighting in the "Wilderness World". When Zhang San asked me for me for this, I agreed without hesitation. If such an effect is really achieved, twenty percent of it will be used as his bonus.
Now, I didn’t expect that there would be no more crystal jewelry on the market. It seems that Zhang San’s plan and strategy are very successful. Although there are not many crystal jewelry left in the “Longhuxuan” warehouse, it is still hundreds of them, especially the crystal rings reaching more than 3,000, which is also all the jewelry made of the last giant crystal.
Long before the giant crystals ran out of light, I went to the cave where I found the crystal to hunt for treasure, but after trying to enter it, I found that it was nothing, no different from when I left.
Therefore, I learned that the system will not regenerate such treasures. Only by finding new sources can we open up the market in this industry. Perhaps, high-price strategies have become a necessity in the jewelry industry now.
Next, our group of nineteen began a treasure hunt. First, we worked together to completely destroy the "Gu nest". I, with flying mounts, are of course the pioneer, and are responsible for destroying the "Gu nest" and seducing the "Flying Gu".
The female knights led by "Wild Lily" formed a magical formation called "Ten Thousand Buddha Formation" early. When I flew into the formation with "Qu Ru", they immediately activated the "Ten Thousand Buddha Formation" and wiped out the "Flying Gu" not far behind me one by one.
This battle lasted only more than half an hour. Although the number of "flying Gu" left behind in the "Gu Nest" is still large, at least more than 10,000, compared with the "flying Gu" that had almost hundreds of millions of "flying Gu" before, it is really a pile of side dishes.
The "Ten Thousand Buddha Formation" is worthy of being one of the strange Buddhist formations mentioned by "Wild Lily". Although the female knights led by "Wild Lily" only mastered a small part of this formation, the dark gold-level equipment in each person's hand, the flying dragon magic gun, which specifically cooperated with the "Ten Thousand Buddha Formation", exerted at least half of the power of the "Ten Thousand Buddha Formation".
I knew what was going on with half of this power. In the previous battle, "Wild Lily" and others were purely defense and had no means of attack at all, but just that, they still killed those "Flying Gu" blockbusters.
Now, because they are only facing tens of thousands of "flying Gu", "Wild Lily" and the others launched the attack method of the "Ten Thousand Buddha Formation" with confidence. A wave of invisible energy slowly expanded. Every "flying Gu" that touched this invisible energy was vaporized, and even their soul energy was left without any trace, making me, who wanted to rely on the "Sky Soul Bead" in the formation, extremely depressed.
"How is it, the number one master, our 'Ten Thousand Buddha Formation' is a bit interesting, right?" "Wild Lily" said with a proud look.
I nodded silently. I only nodded, but it was very interesting. However, I didn't believe that this "Ten Thousand Buddha Formation" was really as flawless as "Wild Lily" said.
But to be honest, the "Ten Thousand Buddha Formation" is indeed perfect. First of all, in terms of defense, it not only protects the players who form the formation up, down, front, back, left and right directions, but also contains the attack in defense. If you want to attack this formation, you must also accept the counterattack of the "Ten Thousand Buddha Formation". Moreover, this counterattack is that the stronger your attack, the stronger it will follow. Even if you suddenly change from extremely weak to extremely strong, the formation will change at the same speed.
As for the active attack, I clearly saw the tragic experience of the "Flying Gu" before. It was already pitiful that others would die without a complete corpse. However, their bodies were not directly vaporized, which was even more sad.
However, as long as there are human factors, there will be flaws. One of them is the strength of the female knights headed by "Wild Lily". According to "Wild Lily", all the eighteen girls learned an internal martial arts from the "Flying Dragon Spear" in their hands, and also obtained a certain amount of energy from there. The "Ten Thousand Buddha Formation" relies on these eighteen different internal martial arts and different energies to perfectly form the "Ten Thousand Buddha Formation".
Actually, when I heard this, I thought of the "Eighteen Arhats" in Shaolin Temple. The only difference between the same number of eighteen is that a single stick turns into a double gun.
However, since it is a combination of energy and internal energy, you can break the formation by just waiting until they use up their energy, even if the formation itself increases their energy power and quantity by several times.
Another point is that it takes about two minutes to brew when the "Ten Thousand Buddha Formation" is arranged. Before, because of the lack of these two minutes, the "Wild Lily" and the others were furious by the "Flying Gu" they suddenly encountered. If it weren't for the "Wild Lily" decisively subdue the order to retreat, someone might have been injured or even died.
So, knowing this weakness, I could completely rely on my strong strength to disperse the formation before they completed the "Ten Thousand Buddha Formation". At that time, with their own weak ability, they could only fail to face me as a master.
However, I think there is almost no possibility of conflict between us. There is no dispute over interests (as long as I guarantee the fairness of distribution), there is no conflict between each other, and it even saves them. No matter from any point of view, there is no possibility of war between us.
The group of people who wiped out the "Flying Gu" first, with my help, actually with the help of "Qu Ru", came to the huge rock that was standing before. My job was to carefully climb up the stone wall, knock the huge "Gu nest" directly to the ground, making a huge sound, and smashed a large pit on the stone floor. From this, you can imagine its huge weight. Several female knights screamed when they saw this situation.
Of course, women like "Wild Lily" will not deal with the "Gu Nest" by themselves, so this task was finally spread to me, the hunter who had just gotten off the stone wall.
With a slight sway, the "butcher knife" appeared in my left hand. I compared the "butcher knife" to the huge "gu nest", and finally put it away and replaced it with the "Blade of the Earth". With the sharpness of the "Blade of the Earth", the "gu nest" that was tragically dissected was displayed in front of us.
As I thought, rubies are the foods of "Flying Gu", and the queen of "Flying Gu", a kind of food exclusive to the boss called "Gu Emperor". Based on the scenes we see, we roughly infer the living habits of the "Flying Gu" clan.
Just like the "Queen Bee" in bees, the same is true for "Gu Emperor". It rapidly absorbs the special energy in the rubies with attributes between water and fire. The tiny balls of meat that fall from it will soon grow and become a small "Flying Gu"; and these "Flying Gu" larvae can also absorb the energy in the rubies and grow rapidly, becoming an adult "Flying Gu" as a member of the protection of the "Gu Emperor".
As for why "Wild Lily" encountered such a huge group of "Flying Gu" before, and after seeing them, they launched a crazy attack, and even pursued dozens of miles, it was not something we could guess.
I found a few complete rubies that were not swallowed from the "Gu Nest" and checked their properties. Its name is "ruby" as we judged, but there is no description of its own properties. Similarly, I tried to input energy into it, but surprisingly, the energy in the "ruby" actually resisted the energy I input, although I have changed the "Five Elements Energy" to similar properties.
In the end, the "ruby" shattered in a blast because it could not bear too much energy, and the strange energy disappeared completely in the air as if it did not exist at all, without any left.
I stared at the fragments of the "ruby" that had become transparent like glass in my hand. I really don't know why there is such a strange energy, and I don't understand why the "ruby" itself is so fragile.
Throwing away the "ruby" fragments in my hand with disappointment, I turned to the "wild lily" beside me and said, "It seems that there is still a big difference between this "ruby" and "soul bead". It is too fragile and the energy inside is not easy to use. I think it is better to sell it as jewelry first."
"Wild Lily" nodded slightly and expressed his agreement with me. However, compared to my loss, the female knights of "Wild Lily" smiled tacitly after hearing my words. It seemed that women's liking for jewelry was not something that a man could understand.
I don’t think about it. If the “ruby” is really like the “soul bead”, then its value will be greatly improved, and the benefits they earn will be greatly increased. What precious jewelry can’t be bought with money? Therefore, I have to add the two modifiers of “sensibility” and “short-sightedness” to the definition of a woman.
The subsequent treasure hunt was a bit dull. The eighteen female knights, except for "Wild Lily" and two other brave girls, were afraid of the darkness of the cave, and were even more afraid of the monsters that might exist in the darkness, and refused the invitation I sent to them to enter the cave together.
I shook my head slightly and took the lead in entering the dark cave with amusement. In fact, it looks very dark from the outside, but the inside of the cave itself is not very dark. On the contrary, after entering the cave for a short distance, a faint halo was cast from all directions. Even people with an average eye-catching sight like "Wild Lily" can clearly see the scene in the cave.
"Ruby-" the girls in the cave exclaimed in unison.
Although I didn't scream, the same view was the same. Through the earth and stone walls that could not completely cover up the dazzling light of "ruby", we can see countless highlights dotted in it. It is these highlights representing "ruby" that illuminate the cave, leaving the cave in a weak visual state.
The three excited women started digging treasures with the "Flying Dragon Spike" in their hands. Unfortunately, the facts proved that guns were definitely not suitable for digging such jobs.
I took out the "Golden Scoop" from the "Qiankun Ring", and then casually put on the "Golden Gloves" on one side. Then, relying on my excellent eyesight and keen sense of energy, the "Golden Scoop" in my hand flew up and down, and soon I got more than ten "ruby" as thick as a little finger.
As for the three of them, each of them had one or two "rubys" in their hands, the price was that they were dirty and covered in dust. Although the "wild lily" had an excellent record of three "rubys", the price was that their original pretty face became a standard cat.
Fortunately, the cave was dark and the other two women did not notice it. "Wild Lily" itself was even more immersed in the joy of harvest. Seeing the three women's ecstatic expression, I shook my head slightly and moved towards the depths of the cave.
Because judging from the "ruby" found in the "Gu Nest" before, there should be larger "ruby" in this cave. However, judging from the harvest of "ruby" that was only that big after digging more than two meters deep, those big "ruby" should be in the depths of the cave.
And as I walked deeper, the more I realized the accuracy of this judgment. Although I did not dig out the "ruby", from the quantity and quality of the strange energy contained in each "ruby", I knew that it was far more than the ones at the entrance of the cave.
The cave is getting darker and darker, because there are few "rubys" directly exposed outside the cave walls of the earth and stone structure. I lack enough light and rely solely on my own eyes. It is also very difficult to see the specific situation in the cave.
Just as I was hesitating whether to follow the previous method and enter the depths of the cave, a shrill scream from a woman came from behind me, my heart tightened suddenly, and I ran towards the lane quickly, bringing countless dust.
