Chapter 235: Land Grabbing
It was getting late, and Yun wanted to pack up and prepare to gather.
When I turned around, I found Bian Xuan not far away. She seemed to be mining, but there was no stone rolling down. It took a little thought to realize that it was not a simple matter.
Yun Xiang spent the day like a groundhog, digging a long section of the mine. Hidden away in the mine, she hadn't noticed Bian Xuan, let alone when she arrived.
But what is certain is that she can no longer keep this piece of land. It is an unowned land, and whoever grabs it first every day will get it.
It is too dangerous to go on a mission at night. Even though it is a Stone Mining Star with only mineral-eating beasts, Yun Xiang did not dare to be careless. Although it was a pity, he still chose to leave.
However, Bian Xuan was not the only one who coveted Yunxiang's territory. A dark shadow sneaked into the mine in the dark while no one was paying attention.
The black shadow looked particularly clumsy. Sometimes he accidentally bumped into the mine wall, covering his nose and wiping his tears; sometimes he got hit by a stone on the ground and spun around in circles.
After recovering from the pain, I walked forward tremblingly. I was very careful, but still fell down. I had a full body massage.
Ouch! Holy shit! Is this easy for me? Yin Runfeng struggled to get up and took out the energy lamp. No matter what, if there really is someone inside, it's his bad luck!
It turned out that he wasn't unlucky; he was the only one in the mine. Yin Runfeng touched his arm, feeling a chilling feeling all around him. Suddenly, a rock from the mine wall rolled down, sending Yin Runfeng screaming and jumping.
"Shit! What the hell is this? Why on earth am I even here?" Yin Runfeng cursed as he finally reached the mine that Yun Xiang had dug.
He immediately pulled out his shovel and basket and began to dig. Snap! No, no, damn it... After ten minutes of digging without turning up anything, Yin Runfeng suddenly erupted, whipping out his pickaxe and smashing it hard, as if he had a grudge against the mine wall.
Hey, damn, golden marrow bone? Stop it, don't let it leak!
Yin Runze smashed it violently, breaking the membrane containing the golden marrow bone, and the golden marrow bone flowed down the mine wall.
He hastily threw away his pickaxe, took out his energy bottles, and placed them on the rock wall. Unfortunately, the bottle mouths were too thick, so only some liquid was on the surface of the bottle, and none of it flowed into the inside.
He kept moving back and forth, finally finding a slightly raised stone. One drop, two—shit! One drop, just one drop!
Oh my god, you did this on purpose, didn’t you? You did this on purpose! Yin Runfeng was so angry that he was about to smash the energy bottle, but suddenly he saw several mineral-eating beasts staring at his energy bottle.
When he lowered his head, he discovered that all the golden marrow bones flowing underground had been sucked clean by the mineral-eating beasts. "You're trying to steal it from me, huh?" Yin Runfeng was so angry that his mouth twisted, because he had just been thinking about digging!
"You want it?" Yin Runfeng sneered at the mineral-eating beast, "I won't give it to you." As he was about to put it in his pocket, a dark shadow suddenly pounced on him, "Ah - damn it! Why are you still biting this!"
After being bitten twice in the same place, Yin Runfeng almost fell to his knees! As expected, you can't take advantage of others.
Squeak! Having successfully devoured the last drop of golden bone, the ore-eating beast grinned triumphantly at him. Just as he was about to explode again, he suddenly grew a circle larger, having leveled up.
Yin Runfeng didn't understand the upgraded mineral-eating beast, nor did he dare to confront it. He suppressed his temper and humbly sent the man away.
Yin Runfeng looked at the mine wall. Should he dig or not? If he did, he really didn't feel like digging. If he didn't, he wouldn't be willing to give up. He had suffered so much just to dig!
Yin Runfeng wiped away his tears and looked at his watch. It was too late and it was not worth going back, so he might as well just rest here.
He didn't dare to sleep in the mine tunnel that Yunxiang was digging during his rest, for fear of accidents and worried that he would not wake up.
He returned to the mine tunnel he had dug before, piled up a pile of stones half a person's height with the stones he had smashed, blocking the entrance, making it look like an abandoned mine tunnel, and then he lay down with peace of mind.
At first, he was worried that the mineral-eating beasts would deliberately dig up the pile of stones, but he was overthinking it. The mineral-eating beasts simply didn't bother to do this job.
Yin Runfeng was awakened by the sound of chaotic footsteps. He was about to scare the other party like he did yesterday when a young woman's voice suddenly rang out, "Mother, this is it."
Bian Xuan consciously stood aside to make way for Bian Qin.
"Yes." Bian Qin nodded, "Is this the mine tunnel?"
"Yes, Yun Xiang dug here yesterday and found the golden marrow bone."
"...Lucky!" Bian Qin snorted coldly. She hated anyone who was lucky. Why didn't God bless her just once?
Yin Runfeng's first reaction was that someone was trying to steal his territory! Then he realized it was Bian Qin. Before, he would have respectfully addressed her as "Master Bian," but now, even calling her "Bian Qin" was a sign of respect.
Yin Runfeng's eyes rolled around, and he quietly took out a photo stone from the space storage device, found the right position, and stuffed it into the gap in the stone pile.
Then he lay down, slowed his breathing, and merged with the mine tunnel. Even though Bian Qin was very cautious, he didn't notice it.
Everyone was used to Bian Qin's jealousy, so Bian Xuan asked directly, "Does mother want to dig it out?"
"Wait, Liao Ba, go explore. What's the distribution of the ore like? Is there a high chance of finding golden marrow bones?"
Liao Ba nodded and came out in about half an hour.
"Madam, the ore cluster has been mined away, leaving only some loose ore. There's no need to dig. As for the golden marrow bone, the one that was destroyed was the last one."
Is it his fault that he couldn't dig it up? Yin Runfeng's face suddenly turned bitter, and he regretted it even more when he thought about the golden marrow bone that he had missed.
Shit—why did he feel like losing 100 million interstellar coins? It was simply fatal!
Bian Qin instantly found her balance and sneered, "That girl is also a ruthless character. She doesn't dig it herself and won't let others dig it."
Although Bian Xuan knew that Yun hadn't done this, there was no need to clear her name, right? They were competitors.
Bian Xuan blamed herself, "Mother, I'm sorry! If I had known..."
"Okay, it's none of your business. I have my own arrangements." Bian Qin waved his hand. "You said before that the girl forced the mineral-eating beast to pull out a black mineral." As he spoke, Bian Qin's brows furrowed, his face looked ugly, and he looked as if he was disgusted.
Bian Xuan nodded hurriedly. "Yes, the largest one was the size of a fist, and the smallest was only the size of a thumb. I looked for it later, but couldn't find it. She picked them all up."
There's this thing? How come he doesn't know?
Miser! Scapegoat! Small-minded! ... Yin Runfeng secretly complained about Yun Xiang in his heart.
"Hmm..." Bian Qin nodded and stopped talking. She turned to ask Meng Qin, "Are the women in the Yao family still honest?"
"Don't worry, ma'am." Meng Qin was as indifferent as ever.
"Where's Bai Feng? Still on the spaceship?" Bian Qin's eyes flashed with anger. How ungrateful! She didn't even want to enjoy the comforts at home. If she wasn't worried about Fan Jiu doing something bad, she thought she would be treated like this!
"I went to the Yao family today and they said they would help you keep an eye on those people."
"Oh?" Bian Qin was instantly irritated and laughed. "Does she feel she has too much free time, or does she think I'm easy to talk to and won't let her borrow my name easily? She's really getting bolder and bolder!"
