Chapter 275 Ownership of the Mineral Essence
Having learned the reason for Gu Qing's situation, none of the others were affected. They all came over to express their gratitude, and the group's relationship became even closer.
The ships remained docked for three and a half days, during which they were attacked by many ferocious beasts. Fortunately, the arrangements were made properly, and they only managed to replenish their supplies.
The sulfur gold vein was not large, and the quality of the ore was not very high, but when they dug to the center, they found a batch of high-purity sulfur gold ore.
They thought that obtaining this batch of relatively high-grade ores was already a huge gain, but who knew that when they dug to the very center, they found a piece of sulfur-gold marrow about one cubic meter in size, which was priceless.
To be honest, at least half of the people present at the time were tempted by the sulfur concentrate, but fortunately, they all managed to suppress their greed for various reasons.
Zhu Jian, a shrewd and worldly man, instantly glanced at his trusted confidants, and several immediately came to his side to protect him. He simply waved his hand and collected the mineral marrow.
After making a hand gesture, everyone didn't linger. They searched the surroundings briefly and then quickly floated to the surface of the sea.
Those who could go down were all of high-level abilities, or had hydrophilic abilities, so with the convenience of seawater, everyone quickly got to the ship.
Liao Wen had already received the news and led a group of people to guard the deck. They did not hide their actions from anyone, so Gu Qing and the others also came to the deck.
Once on deck, everyone used their skills to evaporate the seawater from their bodies. They quickly regained their presentable appearance.
Only then did Zhu Jian stand in the middle, raising his hand to interrupt everyone's discussion, which was either open or cautious.
"Brothers in the group and the protectors of the purifiers, thanks to everyone's efforts, we have arrived here today. Following the lady's discovery, we have mined a medium-sized sulfur-gold mine."
Although the quality of the ore in the outer perimeter is not high, high-grade sulfur gold ore has been discovered in the inner perimeter, and the ore has been mined by the Legion.
I also personally collected the high-grade ores.
We will return to our base as soon as possible. At that time, the commander will distribute the spoils to everyone according to their contributions to this mining operation. Our Vermilion Bird Legion will never forget your contributions.
But please don't have any ulterior motives. Our Vermilion Bird Legion is renowned for its fighting strength and unity. Anyone who harbors ill intentions should consider whether they can withstand the retribution of the entire legion.
Sulfur gold ore is valuable, and high-grade sulfur gold ore is even more valuable, but it is far from comparable to mineral marrow. If such a large piece of sulfur gold mineral marrow is properly cultivated...
A century from now, the Legion will have a continuous supply of gold mines.
The ship was originally going to return via another route, but because of the sulfur gold mine, it dared not take any more risks and returned via the original route at top speed.
Furthermore, Bo Chuan has already sent people to meet them, and the people on the ship have been asked not to move around unnecessarily. Even the signals around the ship have been blocked.
When no one else could see, the bamboo slip arrived at Gu Qing's place and entrusted her with the gilded mineral water for safekeeping.
In his words, he had already made it clear that the sulfur gold ore was with him, and all attacks would be directed at him. At this time, he felt most at ease transferring the sulfur concentrate to Gu Qing.
Lou Xiaoyu didn't quite agree. It wasn't that he wasn't greedy for the sulfur gold marrow, but he was more worried about Gu Qing's safety.
In the end, Lou Xiaoyu couldn't resist Gu Qing's insistence. Watching her put the mineral marrow into her own space, Lou Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. "You said it would be the same for both of us. I told you not to keep it, but you wouldn't listen. You just listened to what his people said."
Gu Qing nestled in his arms and kissed his chin. Seeing that the corners of his mouth were starting to turn up, she quickly explained.
"If you think about it carefully, if the bamboo slips were really killed, and they couldn't find the sulfur concentrate, I would definitely be the next one they look for. So it doesn't matter whether I keep them or not."
It's better for me to keep it than for someone with ulterior motives to keep it. After all, half of this gilded ore is mine.
"I can give away Gu Qing's things if I don't want them, but if someone steals them, I will make them pay the price."
"What if someone tries to steal me away?" The thoughts of someone deeply in love are so boundless; Gu Qing was at a loss for words when Lou Xiaoyu asked such a question.
Gu Qing narrowed her eyes and said fiercely, "You dare to betray me." Her gaze swept down her face to her lower body, "I'll confiscate your tools of the trade."
Lou Xiaoyu felt a chill, but quickly recovered. "Since you love me so much, I will personally deal with those who are spying on me."
