Chapter 100 of "1003 New Urban Farmers" Appears! Amber Stone!
Dou Niu Mi and Li Hongbo were vying for Jia Wei's attention, but Chi Nai Bu Hua Gang couldn't leave. They were afraid that a conflict would break out between the two sides.
Zhang Guodong and Xiao Hu had already ventured deep into the cave, but their path was blocked by a dangerous rock fracture.
Those rock layers seemed to have been shaken. Many were hanging precariously, as if they were about to fall.
"Looks like we've reached the very back of the cave!" Zhang Guodong thought to himself.
"Brother Guodong, there are three pits over here!" Xiaohu, holding a flashlight, spotted three pits, each a meter deep, almost touching each other. Finally, the kid called out, "Brother Guodong!"
"Oh?" Zhang Guodong rushed over to take a look. Sure enough, the sharp pit and rubble were all freshly dug out. Some tree roots inside the pit were exposed and broken, cleanly severed by a sharp blade.
Is this the place where Liu Dewang dug up the green fruit trees?!
He wasn't lying after all!
"But looking around these three pits, there's no fourth tree and no strong spiritual energy fluctuations? Was this trip a waste?" Zhang Guodong then expressed some regret.
Even though he already knew from Xiao Hu that there were no other trees here, Zhang Guodong was still a little disappointed. Everyone loves a surprise when treasure hunting, but even knowing there wouldn't be one this time, he still came.
The argument was getting heated, and Xiao Hu stood up and said, "People from outside the mountains are all bad people!"
"What about me?" Zhang Guodong rolled his eyes and said. "There are good and bad people among outsiders. We can't generalize."
"Nobody in our village is this noisy. My grandpa always mediates things quickly when something happens," Xiaohu said, unconvinced.
"What if your grandfather doesn't mediate? Won't the dispute still exist?" Zhang Guodong and Xiao Hu bantered.
“My grandfather would never refuse to mediate; they all listen to him!” Bu Hu said.
Arguing with the childlike Xiaohu is fine, but reasoning with him is a bit difficult. Zhang Guodong laughed and said, "Then you can go back and ask your grandfather. Now, let's split up and see if there's anything special in the cave! If you find anything, hide it secretly!"
"This might be a bad influence on children," Zhang Guodong thought, sweating. But the deeper they went into the cave, the darker it became. The innermost part was about thirty square meters in size; to find small items, they had to crouch down.
Zhang Guodong was very puzzled about the origin of the Qingguo tree. If it had grown in the cave for several years, where did its seeds come from? According to records, it was a tree species that went extinct two million years ago; no living tree had ever been found in history, only traces in plant fossils and some fossils.
son.
Did an animal bring the seeds here? But the cave was damp, and apart from human footprints, there were no animal claw marks. His intuition told him there might be more to the story.
The jagged, fractured rocks resembled strange, monstrous beasts, sparking endless imagination in Zhang Guodong.
Xiao Hu asked, puzzled, "Why did you have to hide it?"
"Sneak it away and sell it to me, hehe, I'll get paid, are you in?" Zhang Guodong said.
Another sweat... If Xiao Hu doesn't become a money worshipper in the future, that would be a sin. Xiao Hu has made great progress and is indeed very sensitive to money. As soon as Zhang Guodong tempted him, Xiao Hu immediately agreed happily.
The two students, one big and one small, squatted down on the ground and began searching.
Not far from the third pit, Zhang Guodong's flashlight beam flickered, and something seemed to flash briefly. He caught it.
"A big rock?" Zhang Guodong went over to take a look and saw that it was a big rock, about the size of a football and roughly round. It must have fallen from above. You have to be careful when looking for a place in here, or you'll be in trouble if you get hit!
"Brother Guodong, come here for a second," Xiaohu whispered.
Zhang Guodong stopped paying attention to the large rock in front of him and hurried over.
Xiao Hu noticed something the size of a fist. Zhang Guodong looked at it and realized it was a stone. He was puzzled: "Xiao Hu, what are you holding? A stone doesn't count!"
"Hehe, Brother Guodong, this stone shines when you shine a light on it!" Xiaohu said mysteriously. Then he shone a flashlight on it and sure enough, it reflected light!
Wait, it's reflecting light!
Zhang Guodong hurriedly took the stone. The moment he touched it, he was struck by a very faint fluctuation of spiritual energy. "Wow, this is amazing!" Zhang Guodong immediately began to examine it carefully. When he shone a flashlight on it, he saw a yellow gem inside.
No, not amber!
The argument seemed to have temporarily subsided. Zhang Guodong, not even having time to examine it closely, said to Xiao Hu, "Collect these stones and take them back for a hundred yuan each!"
Little Tiger was immediately delighted and began searching for something new.
In a cave about thirty meters deep, a large number of people can exert great strength. The expedition team and Li Ningguang kept a close eye on the enemy as they approached Zhang Guodong and Xiaohu.
At this moment, Zhang Guodong turned around and put the stone that had just flashed into his bag. Xiao Hu's observation revealed that the football-sized stone was likely amber; its large size meant it was mostly encased in rock strata, and only cutting it open would reveal the truth.
I collected more than a dozen pieces this time!
Even more. Zhang Guodong noticed that next to the three pits, there were cracked stones. When he turned them over and shone a flashlight on one side, a piece of yellow amber was split in two.
"That's it!" Zhang Guodong suddenly realized why a precious tree species that had been extinct for two million years was growing in a cave without sunlight. And Tree Ridge was only a few years old!
The seeds, encased in amber for two million years without decaying, were exposed during an earthquake. Even as the amber was shattered, the seeds, nourished by moisture and spiritual energy, broke through the broken pieces and gradually grew. This is the only plausible explanation for the relatively short-lived amber formation.
Zhang Guodong's understanding of spiritual energy is that it is an extremely mysterious existence, and its mysterious veil has only been lifted a little now.
"These are absolutely treasures! Haha, what if there are plant seeds inside these amber stones!" Zhang Guodong exclaimed excitedly.
"Guodong, have you found anything?" Li Ningguang walked over and saw Zhang Guodong scanning the strange rocks on the cave ceiling. Unfortunately, now only rocks remained on the ceiling, even if there were some fossilized trees. It was unknown how many meters underground it was.
Immovable geological year
Upon seeing Li Ning, Zhang Guodong subtly concealed his small stature and smiled slightly, saying, "No, if there were any trees here, Liu Dewang would have dug them all up long ago. We've got a chance to escape this time."
"I think it's a pity," Li Ningguang said with a laugh.
Zhang Guodong secretly stuffed over a dozen stones, suspected to be amber, into his bag in the dark cave without anyone noticing. Besides, Li Ningguang didn't believe there were any other trees in the cave, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to...
He placed more of his hopes on the outside of the cave.
So after circling the cave and observing the three caves for a while, he called it a day. He didn't know that Li Hongbo and the others hadn't actually come in; otherwise, they certainly wouldn't have left so early.
Seeing Li Ningguang return empty-handed, Li Hongbo snorted coldly and stopped trying to stop him. However, he was very worried about letting Li Ningguang and the others go out, so he followed them out with two police officers. His reason was: it was very dangerous inside, and Li Ningguang was suspected of illegally digging up wild precious trees. They couldn't be allowed to leave his sight.
Knock knock knock!
Someone was hammering at the rock face. The sound startled everyone, and they all turned around.
"Who's knocking? Quiet down if you don't want to die! If this cave collapses, no one will get out alive!" Zhang Guodong glanced around, startled, and frowned as he cursed.
It's that little Sun!
Many rocks were hanging precariously from the cave ceiling. A sudden tremor could cause it to collapse. Was this person mentally challenged? Zhang Guodong was highly suspicious.
"Is everything alright?" A voice rang out from the side; it was Bai Jiawei. This little woman seemed to have her eye on Zhang Guodong now, always sticking close to him as soon as she came over, following him wherever he went, which annoyed Zhang Guodong.
"Hmph, look up at what's above you before you speak," Zhang Guodong sneered. "If there's a tremor, we might be buried alive!"
Everyone then noticed the cave ceiling and was immediately startled; the rocks looked as if they were about to crash down. It was incredibly dangerous, as if the cave was about to collapse!
Looking at Xiao Sun, his expression didn't look so good. "Are you trying to kill everyone?"
Old Zheng said, "Little Sun, what are you doing? Who told you to keep banging on things like that?"
"I can knock however I want, what's it to you? Damn it!" Bu Sun spat and cursed. You old bastard, you actually dare to teach the young master to knock? I'll knock anyway!
"Old Zheng was so angry he couldn't speak."
Boom!
The hammer slammed down into the cave with a loud boom, and then a small stone fell down with a snap. Everyone was shocked, and then someone cried out.
Boom!
"Ah! Be careful!" Part of the cave ceiling began to collapse! Xiao Sun was immediately buried. Zhang Guodong even smelled a trace of blood coming from the pile of buried stones.
"You jinx! If you're going to get yourself killed, don't drag everyone down with you!" Zhang Guodong grabbed the panicked Bai Jiawei around the waist and pounced on Xiao Hu.
Little Tiger absolutely cannot get into any trouble!
Zhang Guodong moved swiftly and was beside Xiaohu in a flash: "Xiaohu, don't be afraid!"
Their location was at the very innermost part, while the collapse occurred in the middle section, where thousands of rocks had piled up, blocking the cave halfway to its death.
Zhang Guodong's side is actually the safest. Very lucky!
"I reckon someone's going to die today."
Holding Bai Jiawei, a gentle and delicate woman, in his arms, Zhang Guodong buried his head in his chest, too afraid to lift it. After the landslide noise subsided for a while, Zhang Guodong grew impatient and pinched her cheek.
"Ah, Bai Jiawei's tender buttocks were grabbed by Zhang Guodong."
It was a mistake, an absolute mistake. Without thinking much, I grabbed her buttocks and ended up touching a woman's sensitive area.
"Stop yelling and get up!" Zhang Guodong quickly interrupted, still feeling dizzy. The woman was clinging to his waist, her breasts rubbing against his chest—it felt good, but escaping was the priority!
Upon hearing this, Bai Jiawei's face flushed red, and she released Zhang Guodong's waist to get up, but everything went dark before her eyes.
When the landslide occurred, everyone lost their flashlights.
"What do we do now?" Bai Jiawei panicked at this point.
Ignoring her, Zhang Guodong called out softly into the cave, "Is anyone else alive?"
Shouting like that is dizzying. If you're not killed, at least make a sound.
"I'm here!" someone shouted.
"My leg got crushed here!" Someone was unlucky and hurt their leg, crying out in pain.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Guodong breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "We're lucky they didn't all die."
"How can you talk like that?" Bai Jiawei said to Zhang Guodong for some unknown reason.
"Hey. Damn it, I just saved you and now you're turning around and blaming me?" Zhang Guodong snorted. He said, "You'll regret not listening to good advice. I told you not to hit him, but you still did. Now look what happened—one blow killed someone! What did I say that wasn't nice? Honest advice, though unpleasant to hear, is better than death!"
Bai Jiawei's eyes reddened instantly as she remembered him and his colleagues trapped underneath, and she became very anxious. Although she felt Zhang Guodong was somewhat cold-blooded, she couldn't refute it. Zhang Guodong had indeed given a warning earlier, but Xiao Sun hadn't listened, leading to this disaster.
"Then let's hurry up and save them!" Bai Jiawei said hastily.
"Okay," Zhang Guodong said helplessly. "Although there are disgusting people in the inspection team, there are also innocent people who have no conflict with each other."
Li Ningguang, Li Hongbo, and others were lucky enough to get out of the cave ahead of time. There were still nine people inside the cave, including Zhang Guodong, but it was unknown how many were buried.
Bi: I'm so dizzy! I'm just one monthly pass short and I've been pushed off the charts by books that haven't been updated in ages...
Regardless, let's update Chapter 2 of Heavenly Dao first. There will be an extra chapter later to make up for it, so I won't owe you any more chapters.
Sigh. I'll add more chapters for Tian Zhang Tian Dao if the monthly votes reach 7 PM tomorrow. Otherwise, there's no hope for Tian Dao to climb the monthly vote rankings this month.
