Chapter 234 This is...!
Could it be that you want the Golden Marrow Bone? That must be it, "I can't give you the Golden Marrow Bone!"
Squeak, who wants the Golden Marrow Bone? If they wanted it, we would have snatched it away long ago.
Yes, yes, it’s not your turn to collect it.
"I won't give it to you even if you're not happy!"
...Yun Xiang made the mineral-eating beast completely speechless. Damn, language barrier is really a problem!
Why are you going on so much? Dig, dig!
Yun Xiang saw the mineral-eating beasts disperse a little, and was about to raise her hands to dig, when another group of them squeezed over, staring at her with their big green eyes.
At first, she was a little confused. When she was waving the small shovel, she accidentally saw the mineral-eating beast following the shovel and squeezing her. It was actually a shovel?
If you want it, I'll give it to you. She has plenty of shovels. Yun Xiang simply threw the shovel among them, and the mineral-eating beasts immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
Yun Xiang looked doubtful. Was her shovel really that powerful?
Squeak, did you poop?
No!
Me neither!
Why!
Do I have to scream again?
Is it possible?
Try it first.
The mineral-eating beast was unwilling to give up. It clawed at Yun Xiang and then at Yun Xiang again, pushing the shovel to Yun Xiang's side.
Yun Xiang looked at the shovel at her feet. Did she not want this either? Had she misunderstood? Yun Xiang picked up the shovel and fiddled with it again. The ore-eating beast's eyes continued to follow her.
...That's right, what's going on?
Yun wanted to move a little, but it hurt her foot! She moved her foot, thinking it was a rock, but it was black, the size of a baby's fist, and irregular in shape, which didn't seem like it.
She lifted her shovel and knocked on it, only to find a layer of black debris. What was this? Yun Xiang was shocked and hurriedly scooped it up with the shovel. Leaning closer, in the dim light, she saw it was coal!
Coal! Yun Xiang was completely stunned! How could there be coal here? It was unbelievable.
Yun Xiang hurriedly stood up and searched the ground, finding a few more pieces, but then she couldn't find any more. Although she hadn't figured out what the coal was for yet, it didn't stop her from collecting it.
This thing is so rare that she doesn't know if anyone else has seen it, but this is the first time she has seen it since she came here.
Squeak, why are you picking up our poop?
Is it useful?
You help us poop out and all the poop is yours!
Right, right...
After some effort from the ore-eating beast, Yun Xiang finally figured out what was going on. So, this coal was the ore-eating beast's feces? Shouldn't she be thankful she'd used a shovel to scoop it up in the first place?
Yun Xiang immediately thought of civet coffee. Compared to the people in her previous life scrambling to drink civet coffee, was she being too pretentious?
But she couldn't bear to pick up coal with her hands, even with gloves.
Mineral-eating beasts consume mineral energy and pull out coal, just like wood becomes charcoal through incomplete combustion. It seems to make sense. No matter whether it is reasonable or not, as long as it is useful in the future.
What made her even more depressed was that the ore-eating beasts would not poop on their own, but only when frightened. So, her slipped shovel accidentally scared a ore-eating beast, resulting in these pieces of coal.
Isn't it easy to scare animals? Even the bravest animals listed in the animal encyclopedia can be scared by her. Thinking of this, Yun Xiang didn't hesitate and went straight for it.
A fire-powered defensive talisman enveloped the mineral-eating beasts nearby. The mineral-eating beasts were caught off guard and frightened, scrambling to rush out.
As soon as I got close to the fire, I felt a burning pain all over my body, as if I would be burned at any moment. I instinctively rolled on the ground until I was away from the fire.
Yun Xiang was completely confused. Did she remember that these beasts could breathe fire? Would fire-attributed beasts be afraid of fire? Or was it that her fire was stronger? The Jinyinyan flying saucer's fireballs had long been used up, so she was using flame stones instead.
What Yun Xiang didn't know was that ore-eating beasts also had different attributes. They sought out metallic ores, and those that followed them naturally fed on gold energy. They might spit out golden knives, but they certainly wouldn't breathe fire.
The Flame Stone was on the same level as the Golden Marrow Bone, so just because it had a simple name didn't mean it was weak. Without the strongest Golden Marrow Bone, it couldn't withstand the Flame Stone's energy, so being burned by it was normal.
The ore-eating beasts tried several times, feeling both pained and frightened, and huddled together, snapping and clacking, they began to throw coal. Yun Xiang saw that it was almost done, so he put away the defensive talisman and took a look. He saw that the energy consumption was not high, so it should be able to be used for a few more times.
Yun wanted to take out his shovel and shovel the coal into the basket. The coal chunks were too small, the largest only about the size of an adult's fist, simply because the ore-eating beasts were too small.
However, a beast the size of a palm can pull out a coal block nearly half the size of a palm. You really can't ask for more.
Yun Xiang wanted to force the mining beasts to upgrade for a moment, but he was worried that ignoring their wishes would backfire, so he gave up the idea.
The ore-eating beast unloaded the energy in its body. Although it was a little hungry, it felt relaxed. It was too uncomfortable to have a full stomach!
Look, a typical Nue physique!
The mineral-eating beast was so beautiful that it seemed to float when it walked. Naturally, it was in a good mood and didn't bother with Yun Xiang. It even helped her throw the poop into the basket.
Tsk tsk, humans are so weird that they don’t even let go of the poop of animals.
Yun wanted to load the coal. Although it was only one basket, she used the largest basket she could, one meter deep. She didn't leave any gaps, and she shook it as she loaded it, until the basket was full.
She put the coal into the space box, and while taking a break, she called Xie Yu's number and told him about the coal.
Xie Yu was always perceptive. As soon as Yun Xiang died, he immediately transferred the message to someone else. They had accepted the ore mission, so they only had to pay enough ore and the rest was theirs.
The mercenary group is just starting out now, and there are no specific positions assigned. They are all backbone members. Although the thirteen young men led by Zhao Tianshuo are a little immature, they are also people who have experienced life and death in the Cang Qiong Star incident.
With further training, he can definitely stand on his own. Currently, he is barely qualified.
Therefore, at this stage, the materials obtained from joint missions are divided equally. Once the mercenary group develops and has a certain scale, positions, and system, it will be distributed according to contribution.
For the development of the team, no one cares who takes advantage and who suffers loss.
After receiving Xie Yu's call, everyone immediately started to try it out, but found that coal had no energy and was black, and the worst thing was that it produced feces.
I was immediately puzzled. Why would the captain collect such useless things? Despite my hesitation, I still carefully collected them.
Yun wanted to rest and continue mining. To get coal, he had to feed the ore-eating beast first. But the ore-eating beast was not stupid. It could only be fed once or twice, but not every time. So after two waves, the ore-eating beast stopped absorbing the ore energy properly.
What should I do if a beast that feeds on energy stops eating energy? Yun Xiang has almost no gold-attributed items, just the gold ore and gold marrow bones he collected today.
If the gold mine doesn't work, then the only option is the golden marrow bone. Of course, it depends on whether the hungry beast will eat it. After all, it won't eat when it is full.
The amount of golden marrow bones she collected was already small, and she was not sure if it could feed the whole family at one time. Exchanging them for coal was not cost-effective no matter how she thought about it, so she decided to quit while she was ahead.
After that, Yun Xiang began to concentrate on collecting golden marrow bones and digging task mines. By the time of gathering, he had obtained half a basket of carbon.
It’s not surprising, after all, there are foodies in the animal kingdom, right?
