Chapter 51 "Aren't we going now?" Xue San asked subconsciously. Since Xue Er attached so much importance to the farm's products...
"Why not go now?" Xue San asked subconsciously. Since Xue Er attached so much importance to the farm's products, why should we wait until later?
"Eat something first and see what has happened to the mine you've been mining for a few days." Xue Er glanced at Xue San.
Xue San subconsciously felt that his body was weaker than a few days ago, because some unconscious monsters would appear when mining, and he needed to fight from time to time. In addition, mining was a physical job, which he had never done before, so the strange energy in his body was naturally consumed more.
"Third brother, you eat these." After Xiao Qi grabbed the food, he heard what his second sister said, and immediately came up with the food, looking at Xue San with some concern.
He was afraid that Xue San would be like him, consuming too much of the strange energy in his body and becoming smaller.
Xue San knew Xiao Qi too well. When he noticed Xiao Qi's eyes moving over his head, he guessed what he was thinking. He pursed his lips, looked at the food Xiao Qi was holding, and sat down to eat.
Now that things have come to this, we can only eat first.
Xue San took a bite of the strawberry cake. He had eaten it before, but this time it tasted even better. He wondered if the farmer’s cooking skills had improved.
In fact, it’s not that Ying Yuanxing’s cooking skills have improved, but when Xue San ate it before, the strawberry cake was not just food, but also contained a hidden threat. No matter how delicious it was, it would be diluted by this feeling. But now, eating it is just a simple enjoyment of the food.
But he seemed to have forgotten something.
Xue San was confused for a moment, but soon the deliciousness of the food occupied all his attention and he had no mind to think about anything else.
The fire ghost who was forgotten by Xue San still remembered him. He just enjoyed the hot flames of the furnace while being grateful to Xue San for preparing so much fire for him.
Huo Gui was extremely glad that he did not refuse Xue San's invitation, otherwise he would have regretted it so much if he had missed this opportunity.
Ying Yuanxing came back and saw that the furnace was extinguished. A copper ingot had been smelted, so he added copper ore and coal into it.
Ying Yuanxing did not notice that the smelting speed of the furnace had increased. After adding the ore, he took out the metal ingots, thought for a moment, and prepared to make a wine barrel.
He has now recorded the strange energy contained in various crops, but the strange energy of the crops after processing cannot be determined because it has not been done yet. First, there are relatively few wine barrels, and second, it takes time to brew wine barrels. With fewer barrels, the crops will have to wait longer.
After the wine barrel was made, Ying Yuanxing took a few crops that had not yet been brewed and threw them into it, and the wine barrel started working.
[Although I have seen it several times, every time I see this scene, I feel it is magical]
[Me too, if I had this ability, I could definitely become the largest wine merchant in the country]
[The host's abilities are a perfect match for the farm]
[I was a little confused when I saw the host caring so much about ore before. After all, farming doesn’t require too much metal. Now it seems that I still don’t understand enough]
[If ore is so important, where can I find ore in this strange world? Do you know anything about it?]
[I seem to have heard about it in other live broadcast rooms, but the mine seems to be occupied by a group of monsters. Even other monsters dare not go there easily. It is a bit of a death wish for humans to go there to mine.]
[And if it’s far away, it’s impossible for the host to get there, it would take too much time]
On the other side, Xue San had almost finished eating, and Xue Er was ready to go find Ying Yuanxing. Since Xue San and Ying Yuanxing had met before, he might as well let him come along.
"When we get there, just follow my instructions." Xue Er said.
Xue San nodded, but he was still a little distracted. Xue Er frowned, but before he could scold him, Xue San's expression suddenly changed: "Second sister, I brought the fire ghost back, but he is gone."
Having said that, Xue San quickly recounted the situation.
"What?" Xue Er gasped. You know, if they want to trade with Yingyuanxing, the most important thing is ore, and their good relationship with the Fire Ghost Clan is the basis of this transaction.
But if the Fire Ghost Clan knew that a member of their clan had come out with them and got lost...
In fact, losing it is not the most terrifying thing. Finding it is fine, but if the Fire Ghost is swallowed and killed by other ghosts, then it would be good enough for them and the Fire Ghost clan not to become enemies. They still want to go to the other party’s territory to mine? Dream on!
Seeing Xue San being scolded by Xue Er for this matter, Xiao Qi hurried forward. He should not let his third brother bear the responsibility.
"Okay, stop talking. Let's go out and look for it. Xiaoqi, follow the third brother. If we don't find the fire ghost this time, you can only eat this delicious food once." Xue Er shook his head and turned to look at other strange things in the Xue family.
If it was just Xue San who brought back a Fire Ghost, and then the Fire Ghost got lost, Xue Da and the others might not care too much, even if their relationship was ruined. But they had just finished eating delicious food and found a way to continue eating, but now the method is about to fail because the Fire Ghost is lost. How can they tolerate this?
The ghosts of the Xue family went out directly to start searching, and almost turned the entire Taoxi Village upside down, but they still could not find the whereabouts of the Fire Ghost. Some ghosts had never even seen the Fire Ghost, and there were no burn marks left by the Fire Ghost in the village.
"Could it be that the fire ghost has disappeared?" After searching in vain and returning home, Xue Wu hesitated.
According to other strange statements, the Fire Ghost did not even go to the village, so the place where it disappeared should be the Xue family. If the Fire Ghost clan finds out that it disappeared in the Xue family, the result can be imagined.
After all, it's okay for your own child to be weak in your own territory, but if he dies after going to your house, you dare to say that you have no responsibility, or even think in a dark way, wondering if you did something sneaky.
After all, no one had been invited before, and something went wrong the first time they were invited, so it was hard not to be suspicious.
"Impossible. The fire ghost only needs fire to survive. If it really wants to dissipate, it will ignite all the fuel around it to survive. It is impossible for it to die quietly." Xue Er shook his head. Some ghosts may die quietly, but even if the fire ghost dies, it will be in a bang. It will never die without burning everything it can touch around it to ashes.
"Did we miss something?" Xue Er frowned.
"No, I haven't. I've searched the whole village, even the Yuan family, but there's no sign of the fire ghost."
"Second sister, we didn't go to the farm, did we?" Xiao Qi said in a low voice.
When talking about the farm, Xue Er couldn't help but frown. If Huo Gui went to the farm, then...
Xue Er looked nervously in the direction of the farm. Although he was far away, he could still see the rolling heat waves in the farm. Although the flames did not look high, with such a great amount of heat, the outcome would be bad.
Could it be that the fire ghost burned down the farm...
Xue Er's eyes went dark, and she felt that her day was going to be bad. Others followed her gaze and noticed the rolling heat waves on the farm.
"Could it be that the fire ghost started the fire?!"
"Second sister, what should I do?"
"Should we still look for it? Otherwise..." Forget it.
The Fire Ghost Clan is not easy to mess with, but as long as the transmission channel between the two sides is closed, it will be troublesome for the Fire Ghost Clan to come over. If this offends the farmer, it will be fine for the farmer himself, but they are well aware of Xuanying's notoriety.
The most important thing is that the other party is still close. Unless they leave Taoxi Village, they will be hard to defend against. Even their mother can't protect them completely.
Otherwise, just forget it. After all, if he doesn't go there, the farmer might not know that they brought the fire ghost.
Xue Erke did not have their lucky mentality. As long as Huo Gui was not killed on the spot, Huo Gui would definitely confess them once Ying Yuanxing asked, which would cause even greater trouble.
On one hand, she offended Ying Yuanxing, and on the other hand, she offended the Huogui clan. No matter how powerful her mother is, it is difficult for her to withstand the attack from both sides.
"Let's go. No matter what losses the fire ghost has caused the farm, we will compensate it according to the price." The only thing Xue Er was thankful for was that the fire ghost's ability should not be enough to harm the ghosts in the farm. At least he could use ghost coins to compensate and apologize.
After quickly preparing some gifts for compensation, Xue Er was ready to go out, but this time she did not let other monsters follow her. After much hesitation, she only chose Xue San. After all, Xue San had met Ying Yuanxing before. Although it was only one time, at least Ying Yuanxing had seen him, and maybe he could play a role when discussing compensation.
Xiao Qi also shouted that Ying Yuanxing had seen him, and that he was the one who went to get food when Ying Yuanxing delivered it twice, and he wanted to follow him too.
But looking at Xiao Qi's appearance, Xue Er was still worried about letting him go. Besides, according to Xue San, Ying Yuanxing had at most seen Xiao Qi's eyes. Could that be considered a meeting?
After asking the other monsters to keep an eye on Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba, Xue Er took Xue San out.
The Xue family was not far from the farm, but the closer Xue Er got to the farm, the heavier her heart became, because she could feel a fierce flame burning on the farm, and the aura in the flame was exactly the same as the lingering aura of the fire ghost in the house.
Before, she could say that the fire ghost might have gone to the farm, but now she can be 100% sure.
The fire ghost lay in the furnace and enjoyed it happily. The flame itself became stronger and stronger, further accelerating the smelting process of the furnace.
It would be fine if the copper ingots were accelerated during smelting, but once the iron ingots are accelerated, the pressure on the furnace becomes greater and greater, and the furnace can no longer bear it.
However, the Fire Ghost had no idea how powerful he was. Instead, he felt that the restraints around him seemed to be less, and his body expanded further.
When Xue Er walked outside the farm, he saw that the fire ghost was in a metal furnace and did not cause much damage to the farm. Before he had time to be happy, he found that the furnace was bulging. After a loud bang, the furnace was gone, leaving only a ball of fire in its place.
Ying Yuanxing was stunned by the loud noise. He was stunned for a few seconds, then rushed out to check the situation. Then he saw some metal wreckage on the ground.
What's this?
Ying Yuanxing glanced around and finally found that he had two furnaces, but now only one was left.
The furnace exploded?!
No, won’t this also cause the furnace to explode?
Ying Yuanxing didn't have time to think deeply. When he saw the flames burning, his first thought was to put out the fire quickly, otherwise what if the surrounding boxes were burned.
He didn't have such worries before, but now, the furnace has exploded, and anything is possible.
Ying Yuanxing rushed forward, took out the kettle and poured the water on the flames, but the water evaporated directly into steam and the flames showed no sign of shrinking.
"Lan Ying, put out the fire." Ying Yuanxing realized something was wrong and shouted.
A rain cloud quickly gathered above the flames. Raindrops fell densely, and Huogui shuddered, somewhat disgusted by the rain.
Just looking at the furnace that he had blown up, he knew it was his own fault, so he did not resist. Instead, he said, "Brother Xue, I will compensate you for breaking your things later, but if you continue to pour water, these ores will not be able to be smelted."
Ying Yuanxing was not very surprised that the flames could talk. After all, this was a strange world, and it would be abnormal if something abnormal couldn't talk.
But, Brother Xue, what the hell is this?
However, the most important thing in this sentence is what the other party said about smelting ore. Through the bright flames, there is a ball of silvery-white liquid in the flames, which is obviously the iron ingot being smelted.
The explosion of the furnace is certainly heartbreaking, but after the explosion, compensation is a matter for later. Now the iron ingots may still be salvaged, so we have to protect them first.
Ying Yuanxing immediately stopped the blue shadow. Without the cover of water vapor, the flame became brighter, the silvery-white liquid became purer and purer, and then gradually took shape, and an iron ingot fell out.
Ying Yuanxing subconsciously reached out to pick it up, but as soon as he touched it, he realized that the iron ingots that had been smelted in the furnace before were fine, so it was fine to hold them, but this one had just been burned by fire, so it must be very hot...
No, it doesn’t seem hot.
Ying Yuanxing looked at the fire ghost, somewhat confused. Could it be that this flame had turned into a spirit from the furnace?
However, Ying Yuanxing soon dispelled this speculation because Huo Gui saw Xue Er and Xue San outside the farm. He didn't know Xue Er, but he was very familiar with Xue San.
"Third Brother Xue, thank you for your hospitality. I ate very well, but I broke something in your house."
Speaking of this, Huo Gui felt a little ashamed.
Before Xue San could react, Ying Yuanxing was the first to react. If this was a spirit from their own furnace, how could it recognize outsiders?
And this Third Brother Xue, Ying Yuanxing took a closer look, isn't this the boy from the neighbor's house next door? The flame in front of him is familiar to him, since he knows him, then it will be easy.
Xue Er took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Ying, I'm really sorry. This is my guest who got lost accidentally. I didn't expect to come to your farm and cause you these losses. I hope you can accept these apologies."
Xue Er spoke so quickly that Ying Yuanxing's words were stuck and he didn't know what to say.
Although the other child seemed a bit naughty, the parents seemed to understand the other child's character very well. As soon as they found out that the person was missing, they prepared a thank-you gift in advance. This made Ying Yuanxing feel that the other party was a bit pitiful. How much experience did it take to be able to react so quickly?
Especially Xue San. Although the furnace required 20 copper ores to manufacture, the other party gave him 200 copper ores. This...
Ying Yuanxing thought about it, looked at the fire ghost who was standing there, and decided to accept the apology.
"I accept the apology, but you better keep an eye on this flame. Fortunately it's only on my side, otherwise I don't know what kind of trouble it would cause." Although the flame did not look big, the fact that the other party was able to blow up the furnace showed that he was very energetic and it would be easy for him to start a fire.
Ying Yuanxing picked up the metal waste on the ground and threw it into the recycling machine next to him to see if he could recycle something. At least he could get some copper ore. After all, the explosion would not destroy the raw materials.
Although Xue Er came to find Huo Gui, he also wanted to find Huo Gui and have a conversation with Ying Yuanxing. Maybe he could start talking about the transaction in a tactful way. Who knew that Ying Yuanxing would finish his talk so quickly.
Seeing that Ying Yuanxing was about to enter the house, Xue Er spoke quickly. He did not dare to beat around the bush and asked Ying Yuanxing directly if he wanted any ore.
"Do you have ore?" Ying Yuanxing asked.
Xue Er glanced at Huo Gui and hesitated for a moment. If Huo Gui was not on Ying Yuanxing's side, she could say something else, but Huo Gui was here, and she couldn't avoid him, so she could only tell the truth.
"I don't have any ore, but I know of a mine with a lot of minerals in it. If Mr. Ying needs it, we can go and mine some ore and sell it to you." Xue Er said.
Since I can’t be a high-price middleman, I’ll just do normal transactions.
Xue Er only knew the benefits of strange food before, but he was not sure how much Ying Yuanxing could provide. If the quantity was not much, he naturally needed to infinitely increase the rarity of the ore so that he could exchange it with Ying Yuanxing.
But now, look at the vast fields on the farm and the crops grown on them...
Wait, what is that?
A gust of wind blew by, and the aroma of strawberries was mixed with a strong smell of garlic, which made Xue Er subconsciously take a step back.
Could it be that most of the food grown on Ying Yuanxing Farm is these strange foods? Even if he discovered from the smell that there seemed to be no impurities in the garlic, but thinking that only by eating strange food with this smell could he make up for the strange aura, Xue Er suddenly hesitated.
She felt she could hold on a little longer.
However, looking at Xue San standing in front of her motionless, Xue Er hesitated again. She has always known Xue San. If she hates this smell so much, then Xue San must hate it even more. But now the other party is standing there and refuses to retreat. Is she really going to give up?
Although the smell is really terrible, and the thought of eating such weird food makes one feel hopeless, but being alive is better than dying, so one might as well just hold on.
Xue Er hesitated for a moment, but took a step forward and stood back in place. Just as he was about to say something to Xue San, he saw him shake his body and faint with his eyes open.
"Third brother!" Xue Er was shocked.
Xue Er didn't know what was going on, but when he saw this familiar scene, Ying Yuanxing inexplicably thought of Lan Ying who had been fainted by the pickled garlic. He knew that garlic had a special attack against strange smells, but was the smell so powerful?
However, he had fainted Blue Shadow before, at least it was his own monster. But this time he had fainted someone else's monster, and the other party might become his enemy.
Ying Yuanxing was not afraid of making enemies with the strange, but because the garlic he grew had a strong smell and made the other party faint, this hatred was too weird.
Moreover, the other party had just said that they were ready to trade ore with him. If they became enemies because of the other party's third brother being fainted by the smoke, then the deal would not be done.
Ying Yuanxing looked at the gift he had just received, stepped forward, and stuffed the gift into Xue Er's hands: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect your third brother to dislike the smell of my garlic so much, please accept this little apology."
"By the way, take your third brother back quickly, otherwise the smell is too strong and I'm afraid he will always feel uncomfortable."
"We'll talk about the ore deal later. Take him away first, and I'll come to your house to discuss it later."
Xue Er felt dizzy after hearing Ying Yuanxing's words, but he couldn't tell whether it was because of Ying Yuanxing's words or the smell of garlic.
He accepted the gift in a daze, and was then taken away from the farm by Xuanying. After walking a distance, Xue Er looked at the apology gift in his hand and felt that something was wrong.
Wait, what is she doing here and why is she back?
Just as Xue Er was about to stop, she saw Xuan Ying, who was responsible for escorting them, and hesitated. She could tell that Ying Yuanxing might be easier to talk to, but Xuan Ying was not.
It seems like I forgot something again!
Ying Yuanxing discovered what they dropped - a fire ghost.
Ying Yuanxing looked at Huo Gui with some curiosity. Although he was a little angry that Huo Gui blew up the furnace, at least the iron ore was not wasted and the iron ingots were smelted.
Moreover, looking at the metal ingots in the box now, Ying Yuanxing found that the number was much more than he had imagined. According to the previous time, at most ten copper ingots could be forged, but now, there were only ten copper ingots and three iron ingots.
If it was because of the fire ghost in the furnace that the smelting efficiency was improved, then the other party is truly a natural blacksmith.
Moreover, if ore can be smelted without a furnace, is it possible for the other party to act as a furnace? Wouldn't that mean it could become an automated smelter?
"Little..." Ying Yuanxing hesitated and swallowed the name of kid. What if the other person was really young? Would he still have the nerve to ask the other person to help him with work?
"I'm the farmer here. Are you a guest of the Xue family? What's your name?" Ying Yuanxing asked, preparing to inquire about the origins of Huo Gui first.
Huo Gui's answer made Ying Yuanxing's eyes light up.
Although Huo Gui was a little nervous because of the trouble he had just caused, he felt confident again after seeing Ying Yuanxing's love for the ore, especially since he also saw the scene where Xue Er apologized just now. Although Xue Er apologized on his behalf, he didn't like to owe anyone anything.
"I'm Huoyi from the Huogui clan. I'll compensate you for damaging your things. If you need ore, I..." Huoyi paused at the end. There was ore in their mine, but the problem was that Huogui couldn't pick it up. But he seemed to have picked up the liquid ore just now.
"Do you also know where the mine is?" Ying Yuanxing asked.
"The mine is my home." Huo Yi said with a bit of pride. When he first came to Taoxi Village, he felt that the place where the Huogui clan lived seemed inferior to the outside world. But he heard the conversation between Ying Yuanxing and Xue Er just now. Ying Yuanxing really wanted to find a place with ores.
Yingyuan Star is so big and beautiful, but it lacks the mine in their tribe’s territory. Doesn’t this prove that the mine is not much worse?
"If you want ore, I can take you to dig it as my apology this time." Huo Yi said generously.
Finally, I can mine!
Ying Yuanxing was extremely excited. He had finally found the location of the mine. However, Ying Yuanxing had not forgotten the Xue siblings who had left. If the Xue family had not brought fire with them, he probably would not have known where the mine was.
This must be thanked.
Ying Yuanxing looked at Huoyi, hesitated for a moment, and didn't dare to leave him here. He picked up Huoyi with both hands, then went to the refrigerator to get some food and went straight to the Xue family.
When Ying Yuanxing arrived at Xue's house, Xue Er looked at Huo Yi in his arms and remembered what she had forgotten. When Xue San forgot about Huo Yi before, she scolded him. Now, she had forgotten it too.
But, is the relationship between Huoyi and Ying Yuanxing so good?
Did they say anything?
Xue Er suddenly felt a little uneasy, but Ying Yuanxing's next words made her feel fortunate. Fortunately, she had told the truth before, otherwise who would have known that the Fire Ghost Clan was so straightforward and would say anything. If she had tried to fool Ying Yuanxing just now, the other party would probably know everything and would not have come to her.
