Chapter 37 The Price of Luck



"It's really a mine!" The scorching heat could not resist the joy emanating from the bones of the expedition team.

Qiao Bai was also very happy.

Although the exploration and confirmation has not yet begun, Qiao Bai has already seen a firework flower swaying in the wind on the ground at the entrance of the mine.

This is a basic herb that will only grow and bloom in places with strong fire energy.

If this was an active mine, it would be impossible for the energy to be strong enough to make fireworks bloom.

This can be proved.

This is very likely a dead mine! Qiao Bai tried to develop a new use for his innate skills, but unfortunately, he failed.

Qiao Bai felt a little regretful, but not that regretful.

He rubbed his fingers along the outside of his jeans pocket and could feel the outline of the hard four-leaf clover beneath his hands.

The most valuable purple item that Qiao Bai drew was the [Lucky Four-Leaf Clover].

The materialization in his hand was a small four-leaf clover badge. The four leaves were bright emerald green, like fine gems. It was quite conspicuous hanging around his neck. Qiao Bai stuffed the badge into his trouser pocket before going out.

I hope it will bring him more luck.

He Jinzhou calmed down after the excitement and did not forget the purpose of their visit: "Xiao Qiao, are you going to follow us to investigate?"

"I'll look around here to see if I can find the herbs I need." Qiao Bai did not hide anything and stated his purpose: "There shouldn't be any danger here, right? Uncle He, you guys go about your business."

He Jinzhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Let Baofeng follow you. There are still dangers near the mine, so just in case."

Qiao Bai did not refuse. It would be nice to have an extra layer of safety insurance.

With a wave of his arms, He Jinzhou's team scattered, hammering and banging around in the mine, doing things that Qiao Bai understood or didn't understand.

Qiao Bai looked for a while, and without delay, he also walked around the mine.

Although the Hurricane Eagle was very dissatisfied about having to look after two cubs, one big and one small, it reluctantly accepted the task after He Jinzhou comforted it with kind words and promised to take it out for a big meal.

It’s just keeping an eye on the two cubs!

It can also handle two more!

Qiao Bai scanned the environment around the mine.

Because the scorching fire energy was spreading everywhere in the air, there was no green vegetation on the land within a hundred miles of the slightly sunken basin where the mine was located, and ordinary plants could not survive in such an environment.

However, large patches of fireworks can still be seen everywhere. The closer to the core of the mine, the brighter the color of the fireworks.

Qiao Bai also saw quite a few other slightly more precious herbs.

Low-grade fire reeds with fire attributes can be used to treat wounds caused by burns from fire-attributed pets, and have special effects.

The low-grade fire-attribute melting grass can squeeze out the white juice from its rhizome, which, after ingestion, can give fire-attribute and lightning-attribute pets a boost of excitement for a short period of time.

Scattered here and there...there are quite a lot of low-grade and medium-grade herbs.

Qiao Bai couldn't help but sigh. It was indeed a newly discovered mine. If it was a mine that had been open for more than 50 years, it would be impossible to find a low-grade fire attribute herb.

But these are not Qiao Bai's purpose. What he wants is a more precious, high-grade fire-attribute herb, Fire Condensing Grass.

According to the "Hua Bird Care Guide", among all high-grade herbs and fruits, Fire Condensing Grass is the most suitable. After proper processing, it can help Hua Bird, which has chosen the evolution direction of Three-legged Golden Crow, feel the feeling of condensed essence fire.

Qiao Bai had searched for Fire Condensing Grass on the official treasure market website. The lowest-grade ones would start at 2 million, and there was no demand for them. As soon as they appeared, they were snatched up by beastmasters who had contracted fire-attributed pets.

If you can't find Fire Condensation Grass in the Fire Attribute Dead Mine...

Qiao Bai: ... Let's just destroy the world! He subconsciously touched the [Lucky Four-Leaf Clover] in his pocket again.

I couldn't help but mutter to myself.

Where was the purple item that promised to buff him luck for a period of time? Why didn't he feel anything since he left home in the morning?

The scorching fire energy in the mine made Qiao Bai sweat profusely, and Xiao Wu also stood on Qiao Bai's shoulder with a wilted look.

After evolution, the little crow is a three-legged golden crow with fire attribute. It does not mean that the current little crow has fire attribute. This kind of environment with excessive explosive fire energy will not only make people irritable, but also make birds in a bad mood.

Not to mention that Xiaowu could see the Hurricane Hawk following behind them with just a turn of his eyes.

This is the beastmaster's distrust of Xiaowu! What's even more infuriating is that Xiaowu knows his own strength, and now he can't beat the ferocious big bird!

Xiao Wu: I’m very angry!

I feel even worse!

Just at this moment.

Qiao Bai is fine.

Little Wu... gurgled, like a round little black ball, rolled directly from Qiao Bai's shoulder and down his arm.

Because its body was too round, it bounced a few times after falling to the ground, and rolled forward several times before finally getting stuck between two stones and stopping.

Qiao Bai lowered his head and looked at Xiao Wu, without speaking for a long time. Both the man and the bird were silent.

Xiao Wu was dirty and gray all over, except for his pair of small black eyes which were still bright.

The look in those eyes...

Xiao Wu: O_O Qiao Bai: “…”

Silence is the tacit understanding between them.

"Ahem..." Qiao Bai put his fist against his lips, breaking the tense atmosphere between them and trying to comfort Xiao Wu: "It was my fault that I let you fall down..."

As he spoke, Qiao Bai's voice became smaller and smaller until he could no longer speak.

The process of the little bird rolling down was too smooth!

Qiao Bai has begun to reflect on himself. Is it because he feeds Xiao Wu too much that Xiao Wu grows so plump?

Or... should we reduce the unnecessary food intake for Little Crow? The Little Crow, stuck in the crack of the stone, shook its chubby body unconsciously.

While reflecting on himself in his heart, Qiao Bai squatted down, reached out to Xiao Wu with a serious face and upright eyes, and rescued Xiao Wu from the crevice.

I didn't expect the rock crack to be so tight.

Qiao Bai used a little strength and rubbed off two feathers of the little crow before he successfully pulled the little crow up.

Before Xiao Wu could protest to Qiao Bai, Qiao Bai's eyes suddenly froze.

Wait...wait? What did he see? As he pulled the little crow out, the gap between the two huge stones became larger, and red dust flew up.

Then Qiao Bai saw the small, red herb that was only half the length of a finger and looked very familiar. It was the Fire Condensing Grass he had been looking for.

What shocked Qiao Bai even more was that this was a twin fire-condensing grass.

It has two plants on one stem, short and with two fruits that look like small lanterns shaking when the wind blows.

Qiao Bai's eyes were dazed.

This...what exactly is the series of processes that led to the discovery of this twin fire-condensing grass? Who normal person could find fire-condensing grass in such a remote place?

Recalling the slightly warm feeling in his pocket, Qiao Bai had a guess in his mind.

There was no rush to verify it now. Qiao Bai first shook off the dust on Xiao Wu's body, then simply wiped Xiao Wu's whole body with the wet wipes in his bag, and finally put Xiao Wu back on his shoulder.

Xiao Wu had already laid down and allowed Qiao Bai to rub him.

Even if Xiao Wu succeeded in finding a precious twin fire grass due to this embarrassing behavior today... he could never get back the dignity he had lost!

The fallen feathers can no longer be inserted! Qiao Bai smiled and said nothing, giving Xiao Wu some face. Comforting Xiao Wu at this time would be adding fuel to the fire.

He moved carefully and slowly with two fingers dug out the twin fire grass together with the red soil underneath, and placed it in a small pot he had specially prepared.

At first glance, it looks like a special ruby ​​succulent.

Qiao Bai had completed all the tasks he had come to the mine with! He took a long breath, stood up straight, and pounded his back which was sore from squatting for too long.

After putting this special succulent plant into his backpack, Qiao Bai casually took a look at the [Lucky Four-Leaf Clover] badge in his pocket.

Not surprising to him.

The badge originally had four leaves that looked like gems, but the color of one leaf had faded.

Although it is still green, when compared with the other three leaves, it is so obvious that it is like the difference between glass and gem, and can be distinguished at a glance.

"Praise the lottery." Qiao Bai will never complain about the talent skill trap again.

Isn't this very useful? Well... As for the process in between...

Qiao Bai turned his head to look at Xiao Wu, who was lying on his shoulder with a shocked look on his face, and pretended nothing had happened.

Xiao Wu felt a chill on his back.jpg Xiao Wu: “?”
