After eating, Kun told the three people on the ground about his situation in the cave.
"I've been digging along the hole you dug earlier. I'm almost at the bottom now. It will be completely finished in a while. Once I clear out the dirt and rocks inside, you can come in."
The groundhog orcs are worthy of being orcs who can make their home underground. In just a short period of time, they completed the amount of work that the orcs of the Qingshan tribe took several days to complete.
After explaining the progress, Kun hurried back to the cave. Meng Yuqing sat aside and thought carefully about the ice cellar.
It was only an hour later when Kun came out and told them that the situation inside had been dealt with and they could now go in and load salt.
Kun led the way in front, Xuan held Meng Yuqing's hand and walked in the middle, and Xun walked at the end. The four of them walked towards the cave.
Kun cleaned the cave very well, and Meng Yuqing hardly stepped on any stones or anything.
At the innermost part, there were already a lot of salt stones dug out by Kun piled up on one side.
Xuan walked over to take a look and found that Kun had already separated the good quality salt stones from the poor quality salt stones.
He took Meng Yuqing to a pile of high-quality salt rocks and said, "These are all for us to take back."
Meng Yuqing raised his hand and directly put the pile of salt stone that Xuan pointed to into the space, then found a corner to sit and wait for them to continue mining. The cave was too dark and he could not see much, so naturally he just did whatever Xuan said.
The three orcs continued to mine salt rocks. Their speed was not slow, and with Kun always paying attention to the situation in the cave, they were not worried that the salt cave would collapse due to excessive movements.
The more Xuan dug, the more he felt that it was the right decision to bring Kun with him.
When they were mining in the past, they only dared to dig little by little, for fear of accidentally collapsing the hole.
It was dark when the four men loaded enough salt rocks and left the salt cave.
After hiding the entrance of the cave with rubble, everyone left and returned to the tribe overnight.
Xun's speed was faster than when he came. Meng Yuqing just nestled in Xuan's arms and didn't dare to move.
When I was wearing the chain, I was running for my life and didn't pay attention. Now that I think about it carefully, I think it is still too exciting for humans.
"Gurgle——" My stomach growled with hunger.
Kun and Xuan looked at Meng Yuqing at the same time.
Meng Yuqing touched his stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry."
The last time he ate was in the afternoon, and now it was the next morning. Logically, Meng Yuqing should have been hungry.
"Let's find a place to rest nearby. It's time to eat something." Xuan said.
"Okay, then I'll go down." Xun slowed down and lowered the altitude.
They had left the salt mine, but were still in an area with sparse vegetation. Looking around, they saw mainly exposed rocks and gravel, with occasional sparse bushes.
It is still up to Xun to catch the prey. They are not familiar with this area, and it will take more time for Xuan and Kun to catch the prey.
The route to the salt cave this time was different from the last time. Xuan had to take a detour by walking on the ground, while Xun had to fly them in a straight line.
Meng Yuqing followed Xuan and found a relatively flat stone. After sweeping away the dust and gravel on it, he sat down.
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes, jumped off the stone, and walked towards a pile of rubble.
Xuan and Kun saw his movements and immediately followed.
Meng Yuqing walked to the rubble pile and squatted down. He used his hands to pull away the weeds covering the rubble and picked up an inconspicuous stone from the pile.
Just a small piece made Meng Yuqing overjoyed.
"Limestone!!!" He stood up and handed the stone in his hand to Xuan.
Xuan and Kun looked at the stone in confusion. Isn't this just an ordinary stone?
However, they also knew that Meng Yuqing knew a lot, and the stone he found made him so happy, so it must be a good thing.
Xuan and Kun looked at each other, and then Xuan said, "What is this stone used for?"
"It has many uses, too many to list right now. Anyway, it's a good thing." Meng Yuqing said excitedly as he handed the limestone to Kun. "This thing wouldn't appear out of nowhere. Just like the salt cave, there might be limestone mines underground. The environment here also matches. Would you be willing to go underground and take a look?"
Kun took the limestone, looked at it carefully, memorized the appearance of this stone, and then moved closer to smell it.
"No problem, I've remembered the characteristics of this stone. I'll go look for it underground now." After Kun returned the limestone to Meng Yuqing, he turned into a beast, found a suitable place, and began to drill a hole.
Mines are generally buried deep underground, but sometimes some ores appear on the surface for various reasons.
In the modern world, it might be man-made, but in this world, the probability of man-made is too small, not to mention that the vegetation here is underdeveloped and there are not many wild animals.
So once useful ore is discovered on the ground, there is an eighty percent chance that there is a mine underground!
And there was an earthquake some time ago, which made him even more certain that there must be a limestone mine here.
Kun soon disappeared. Meng Yuqing pulled Xuan to the hole Kun had drilled out of. "We're just about to build a city, and this limestone mine is just in time! It can be used in many places. I'll go back and look up the information and tell you all about it later."
Meng Yuqing clasped his hands together and closed his eyes, praying in his heart that there must be a lime mine underneath.
Xuan was immediately amused when he saw his appearance, and was about to pull him over and rub against him.
"Bang——" the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Xuan paused slightly with his raised hand and turned his head to look.
