"Are they calling for help?" Qiao Xiaopang grinned, "I mean Yuwen, does your medicine bag work? They won't pounce on it together later, right?"
"Of course it works. Didn't you see that they are all two feet away from us?" Xia Yu smiled nonchalantly, took out a dried wild boar leg from the space ring, and threw it into the group of lightning minks across the mountain.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." Following a noisy cry, more than a dozen mountain lightning martens pounced on the wild boar's leg and started to chew on it. In just a few breaths, the wild boar's leg was completely eaten away, including the bones and meat.
.
Fatty Qiao smiled brightly at this, "Oh my goodness...this little thing is really powerful! Yuwen, give me some more food, and I'll feed you again. It's quite fun!"
"You think you're teasing monkeys at the zoo!" Xia Yu rolled his eyes and took out a wild boar leg from the space ring and handed it to him.
"What is a zoo?"
"..." Xia Yu was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "It's just a garden where wealthy people keep a lot of animals when they are bored. Just forget it, a country bumpkin like you, you don't understand...don't worry about them. The stones around us are all jade mines.
Let’s get to work quickly.”
"Oh no, you actually called me a country bumpkin?" Qiao Xiaopang said angrily, and threw the wild boar leg far away into another group of mountain lightning minks. After enjoying the good show of the group of minks fighting for food, he clapped his hands.
He smiled and said, "It is said that the mountain lightning martens eat everything, but I bet they have never eaten such delicious cooked food. Look at how happy they are to grab it. If I had known, we should have brought more delicious food..."
Xia Yu curled his lips and ignored him. He opened the miner's pick and began to dig out the stone with a clank.
"What kind of evil is this? I have to work hard here..." Qiao Xiaopang shook his head and complained, and started working.
Although both of them have cultivation skills, they are not professional miners after all, and the jade mine itself is a very hard ore. They spent more than two hours and only dug out a few dozen pieces.
Just planing out the ore is not enough, you have to cut the ore to see if there are jade beads inside. This place does not have the kind of machines on earth that specialize in cutting stone, and the hardness of jade ore is not that kind.
The machine can cut it. The two of them can only grind it little by little with a hand-made fine steel file, and they have to grind it very carefully to avoid damaging the possible jade beads.
After struggling for a whole day, dozens of ores were all turned into rubble, but not even a jade bead was found. Qiao Xiaopang patted the dirt on his head depressedly, "It's so depressing...
"
Xia Yu was also not very interested. This task was really a scam. One hundred pieces of jade ore might not yield a jade bead. It was just a matter of luck.
Xia Yu also asked Xiao Hei if there was any way to know where the jade beads were, but Xiao Hei didn't know how to trick him. He just told him that the harder the ore was, the greater the chance that there would be jade beads in it. However,
Such a simple sentence was of no use, so Xia Yu and the two worked hard for a whole day, but still found nothing.
The behavior of the two of them digging stones here has annoyed the mountain lightning martens. In the eyes of these little things, this is their nest, and these two foreign "bipeds" are actually demolishing their nests. The surrounding mountain lightning martens
The lightning ferret's eyes were red.
The angry Pangolin Lightning Martens had long forgotten the friendship between the two wild boar legs, and they all gathered around the two of them and screamed. However, due to the effect of Xia Yu's medicine bag, the Pangolin Lightning Martens could only
I felt that the smell of these two "bipedal beasts" was so bad that they only dared to stay two feet away, unable to move forward and attack in a group.
In fact, the most difficult part of this task is that while mining, you also have to resist the attack of the mountain lightning mink. If it were anyone else, the two of them would definitely be difficult to cope with. People like Xia Yu and Qiao Xiaopang are definitely different types.
.
After working all day, the two of them were tired. After eating some food, they began to meditate and rest.
After resting for two hours, the two began to work hard again. This time they changed places and spent another day. Finally, they found a fine jade bead among more than a hundred pieces of ore.
The Jade Cool Beads are all white and cold to the touch. Now that the two of them are in a cave with a very low temperature, they don't feel it. If they are playing with a string of Jade Cool Beads in their hands in the scorching heat, they will feel it.
Quite comfortable. Necklaces or bracelets made of fine jade beads have always been favored by the rich. They not only cool down and remove heat, but also have certain detoxification functions. Even some monks can use them, so
Prices have always been high.
Qiao Xiaopang played with this small jade bead and complained: "It took so much effort to get such a gadget? This is really too slow!"
"This is a matter of luck, there is no way..." Xia Yu was also a little crazy about the progress, and took out some water, "Eat, take a break and continue working. I estimate that after completing this mission, you will be able to lose weight again.
"
"Lost weight! Damn it, I don't want to lose weight at all... Alas, my old man is right, I am still not good at academics. If I had calculated that I would need jade beads for this mission, I would have bought ten of them in advance.
,Isn’t there nothing going on now?”
Xia Yu smiled helplessly. After the lottery for the Tianxiahui Shengpai assessment task, no fine jade beads could be bought in all the markets in Yunmen City. This must be the fault of Tianxiahui, and it must be the same in other nearby cities.
This task has a time limit. Unless you have stockpiles, you have to come here to do hard work.
As he talked, Qiao Xiaopang became even more depressed. He threw the mining pick aside, sat down on the ground and shouted, "I can't do it anymore! I think I really can't stand it anymore! I'm quitting!"
Xia Yu sighed, "Then what do you think we should do? In fact, at this time, we should have no problem completing the task on time."
"Yuwen, let's try another method!" Qiao Xiaopang said holding his head, "If I hear the sound of grinding stones again, I will go crazy! How about I set up a formation to explode!"
In fact, in this task, plowing the ore is not the most time-consuming. What is time-consuming is cutting the ore. Jade beads only account for one percent or even one thousandth of the volume of the ore. Find it in a large piece of ore.
, it took a lot of effort. The two of them had discussed how to set up the formation before, but they were worried that the attack power of the formation would damage the jade beads in the ore, so it was useless. Now Qiao Xiaopang
I really lost my patience and came up with this method again...
