"I just took a look and I think we fell from that hole over there. Gu Shi, can you lead us up from there?"
Zhao Zhize pointed to a hole not far away on the upper right, where water was flowing out continuously. It was probably where Gu Shi and the others fell.
Gu Shi looked up and said, "There will definitely be no problem returning the same way, but in this situation, I'm a little worried that the cave entrance will collapse."
Although water was still flowing out of the cave, no one could tell what was going on inside.
The earthquake just now lasted for a while. After the four of them were washed down, it is very likely that this section of the passage was blocked by the earthquake.
Gu Shi just observed that the place they were in was most likely a man-made cave.
There are several passages leading to other places around this cave, and there are obvious traces of explosions around it.
Gu Shi deduced from the soil and ore scattered around by the explosion that this was most likely a mine.
Because Cheng Xuqing and Qi Yu were still asleep, Gu Shi and Zhao Zhize did not choose to explore this place, but stayed around to guard them.
About ten minutes later, Cheng Xuqing rubbed his head and got up, and then a few minutes later, Qi Yu also woke up.
"It hurts so much. When I fell just now, I hit my head directly on the rock."
Although he had already drunk the potion, Cheng Xuqing still felt a dull pain in his head, so he couldn't help but complain a few words.
Zhao Zhize comforted him, "Alright, alright. You've already drunk the potion. It's okay. Let Gu Shi take us upstairs first."
Qi Yu was still brooding over what had just happened. "What the hell is going on? Why did the hot spring pool suddenly crack? It can't be an earthquake, right? Are we just so unlucky?"
Gu Shi replied, "It wasn't an earthquake. It's very likely that someone placed explosives in the mine, and those explosives were detonated just now, so we fell down.
But we were unlucky. This mine is probably right below our yard. The explosion must have been very powerful, otherwise the hot spring pool wouldn't have cracked directly."
Cheng Xuqing immediately noticed a key word in Gu Shi's words, "Mine? Is this a mine?"
He immediately forgot the stinging pain on his forehead and looked around excitedly.
When Cheng Xuqing saw a piece of crimson crystal ore scattered on the ground to his left, he immediately ran over to pick it up, then held it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.
Then, Cheng Xuqing shouted excitedly, "Friends, we got it!"
Gu Shi asked doubtfully, "Could it be that this ore is very valuable?"
Cheng Xuqing nodded frantically and showed the baby fist-sized piece of ore in his hand to others.
Then he explained, “I just saw this ore in the brochure of this place. It’s called Burning Crystal Ore.
The reason why this place has so many hot springs is because there are veins of burning crystal ore buried underground.
You can touch it. The burning crystal ore has a very special characteristic. It will generate heat.
The quality of the burning crystal ore can be directly judged by its color. The crimson piece in my hand, which has no impurities, is the best quality.
Just this small piece can be sold for hundreds or even thousands of gold coins on the market."
"So expensive?" Qi Yu was very shocked. He could hardly believe the value of the Burning Crystal Ore.
Zhao Zhize looked at Cheng Xuqing with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "When did you see the brochure? How come I didn't know about it?"
They set off directly after deciding on the destination. In such a short time, and at school, Cheng Xuqing could not have the time and channels to look up information.
Cheng Xuqing shrugged, "It was just after dinner, and the brochure was on the table in the room.
I was bored so I picked it up and took a look at it. I didn’t expect it to be useful now. Hey, we are still lucky. "
Cheng Xuqing originally wanted to go to the hot spring after dinner, but was stopped by Zhao Zhize and others. He simply found something to kill time. Who knew that such an accident would happen afterwards? They happened to fall into the mine of the Burning Crystal Mine.
Gu Shi looked around and took a few steps forward to pick up a small piece of burning crystal ore. He held it in his hand and felt it carefully for a while. Sure enough, just as Cheng Xuqing described, this piece of burning crystal ore was emitting warm heat.
While the three people were chatting, Gu Shi had two or three more pieces of burning crystal ore in his hand. He compared the differences between these pieces of ores and found that except for the size, their quality was the same.
It seems that this piece should be all of this high-quality burning crystal ore.
Gu Shi walked over and interrupted the conversation of the other three people, "Look, these pieces of Burning Crystal Ore are of the best quality."
Cheng Xuqing became even more excited. "Could this mine be specializing in producing high-quality burning crystal ore? What are we waiting for? Let's pick up a few pieces now. This is pure money-making."
Gu Shi and Zhao Zhize had no objections. It would be a waste if they didn't take it.
Qi Yu was a little hesitant. "But these minerals have owners, right? If we do this, what if we are discovered..."
Qi Yu can be said to be the most morally conscious one among the four of them.
Gu Shi has lived in a different world for many years and has become accustomed to the law of the jungle. Zhao Zhize and Cheng Xuqing have also had long adventure experiences. Only Qi Yu has stayed in school all the time and has had little contact with the outside world.
Gu Shi and the other two looked at each other and began to persuade.
Gu Shi said, "We just had an accident. If it were an ordinary person, they might have been seriously injured or even died. You can think of these burning crystal minerals as compensation from this hot spring."
Zhao Zhize said, "Since we're here, let's put all the Burning Crystal Ores in the Space Ring. As long as we don't tell anyone, no one will know about this."
Cheng Xuqing said: "We are not going to empty the entire mine, and think about it, a piece of burning crystal ore is worth a lot of gold coins.
Didn't you have a particular potion ingredient you wanted to buy before? With this money, you can buy a lot of that ingredient."
After being persuaded by the three people in turn, and with Cheng Xuqing's obvious inducement, Qi Yu soon couldn't help but go along with them.
After reaching an agreement, the four of them split into four directions and spread out to search for the burning crystal ore scattered on the ground.
While picking up the things, Qi Yu comforted his dead conscience, it's okay, it's okay, this is not Blue Star anyway, and he really wanted the potion ingredients!
