Chapter 2285 Found (April Monthly Ticket Plus 15)
After walking for two days, Keke suddenly said, "Host, I scanned it."
Manbao's eyes lit up, and he turned to ask Aini, "Are we close?"
Aini calculated the distance and nodded uncertainly, "Maybe. Let's look in the direction of the sun."
Keke said, "Five kilometers ahead we'll be in the radiation range."
Manbao asked, "Is there any water source nearby?"
"Yes, it's not forward, but there's a water source about 3,000 meters to your left. There's some greenery there."
Manbao pointed in the direction and said to them, "Let's go that way."
Aini hesitated, "It doesn't seem to be going that way."
Manbao smiled and said, "I know. I want to settle down first."
Upon hearing this, Aini immediately said, "That's certainly a good spot. I remember there's a pond over there, and a small patch of greenery. When our village was still functioning, we would take this road to the royal court to worship Buddha."
They went over.
There is indeed a small patch of greenery there, not very big, with a pond and only a dozen trees in total, but the fine and dense green grass is pleasing to the eye.
Bai Shan knew Man Bao's plan, so he nodded and said, "Let's stay here."
He asked Manbao, "Did Uncle Zhou find a place?"
Manbao nodded.
Bai Shan nodded thoughtfully and went to find Daji.
The guards received an order to stay there permanently, while Daji and Master Man and Miss Man went in together to look for the sinkhole.
The guards looked at each other.
Bai Shan said, "You have also seen the situation of the people in the village. The poisonous rocks are very harmful. If we go in further, we will be close to the tiankeng. So you stay outside and wait. We will go in with Daji."
The guards were shocked and said, "Master, why don't you let us go? You and Miss Man wait outside."
"That's right, isn't it just about finding stones? Just draw it and we can find it according to the pattern."
Bai Shan stopped them from talking and said, "No need, it's fine for us to go in."
Guard: "Why?"
"Because we have the antidote."
Guard: “…”
After hesitating for a moment, they said, "Master, we can actually take the antidote."
"It's too expensive, and there are only a few of them," Bai Shan said. "We thought about it and decided that if we let you in, you might not be able to tell the stones apart. It's better for us to go in."
That's true. Although there are all kinds of stones, it is still very difficult to distinguish between poisonous stones and non-toxic stones.
This skill may only be possessed by Miss Man, the imperial physician.
So everyone had no choice but to stay here.
Manbao touched Chiji and told the guards, "Please keep an eye on it for me."
Then she called Daji, opened the box, and took out a set of clothes and a helmet for him. The clothes were fine, but the helmet was made of a material that Daji had never seen before. He couldn't help but touch it. Although he was a little curious about where Miss Man got the helmet, he looked at the young master, didn't ask anything, and silently took it back to his tent to change.
Bai Shan said, "Put it away first and put it on when we get in."
Daji agreed and put the clothes on next to his body, wearing his own clothes on the outside as usual. No one except him knew that he was wearing another layer of clothes inside.
They prepared three backpacks, put water in them, and each of them carried one and headed into the desert.
Aini was stunned. After they walked away, he remembered, "Don't they need me to lead the way?"
The guards and Aini looked at each other, and then they remembered that they seemed to not understand Hu language. It was over. How could they communicate with him?
Aini also watched them for a long moment, realizing they couldn't answer and could only communicate using body language. Everyone was sweating profusely as they communicated. The guards finally understood and gestured to him, saying, "It's okay, since you don't know exactly where we are anyway. We're all going to leave anyway, so isn't it the same whether I take you with me or not?"
There were still some complaints that he didn't know the way.
Unfortunately, Aini didn't understand and continued to communicate with them using gestures.
Bai Shan and Daji also carried backpacks and walked for a long time. After Koko reminded them that they had entered the radiation range, they took out the helmets from the backpacks and put them on.
Keke had already scanned the place and showed Manbao the way. Bai Shan walked beside Manbao, looking left and right curiously, and asked, "Are there no animals here?"
Only then did Manbao realize that animals like scorpions and gerbils, which were occasionally found in the desert, had disappeared.
She couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that animals also seek benefits and avoid harm."
Bai Shan nodded and simply took her hand and walked together.
Manbao subconsciously turned around and glanced at Daji.
Daji lowered his head and pretended not to see it.
She then waved her hand and walked forward with Bai Shan.
They were prepared to walk for a long time, but with Koko's guidance, they walked almost in a straight line except for some sand dunes that were too high to climb and they had to go around them.
So they saw the big pit before sunset.
Manbao's eyes lit up, and after looking at Baishan, he ran over there.
Daji hurried to follow.
It was a huge pit, surrounded by sand slopes. Because of the wind, some sand had slid into the pit, but the pit was still very huge. You can imagine how big a noise it made when the meteorite fell.
Keke has started scanning and is making a continuous ding-dong sound.
Manbao took out some water and placed it on the sand slope, asking Daji to watch from above while she and Baishan rushed down hand in hand.
Daji didn't go down, but stood on the pit and watched them, looking around from time to time with vigilance.
It would be dangerous if all three of them were in the pit because the people below couldn't see what was happening above.
And it looked like they were going to stay here tonight, so Daji took a look and shouted downstairs: "Master, I'll go prepare the firewood."
Bai Shan responded, "Don't go far."
Daji agreed, put down his things, and looked in a direction to look for hay and firewood.
Manbao started digging in the pit according to Koko's instructions. After a while, he dug out a brown stone the size of a fist, which only had a faint light.
Manbao didn't even look at it and directly put it into the space. Bai Shan just thought she gave it to Uncle Zhou and didn't care. Instead, he found a particularly beautiful blue and red stone. He thought it was a poison stone, so he rushed over and said, "Manbao, can you let Uncle Zhou take a look at it and see if it's the poison stone?"
Without even needing to be scanned, Manbao saw the familiar light and immediately nodded, "That's right."
She reached out and took it, "But they are all so small."
Bai Shan said: "They should be scattered. The largest piece should be the one presented to His Highness."
Manbao nodded.
Koko said, "No, there is an irregular stone with a diameter of about three meters at the bottom of the pit. It is the largest one, but it has a hard shell, so it has not been discovered."
Manbao was stunned and looked towards the center. There was a stone there, but most of it was buried underground, and it seemed to be there naturally.
Koko confirmed her gaze and said, "Yes, that's it."
See you tomorrow
