Chapter 261 Didn't that hit the back of my hand?



After blowing on the gold nugget, Chen Feng put it into a small bottle, estimating it to be worth about four or five hundred yuan.

The terrain here isn't that complicated; there aren't any sudden steep slopes or depressions like before.

They are mostly very slow.

Chen Feng, carrying his tools, continued to probe forward.

A dozen minutes later, Chen Feng's system gave him another notification.

He glanced around, looking at the bush beside him.

As luck would have it, the goods were right next to the bushes. Chen Feng took a closer look and decided whether or not he needed to dig the tree out.

He felt that since the two were quite far apart, there was no need to dig up the tree.

So, Chen Feng took a shovel and began kneeling on the ground to dig a hole.

The idea is wonderful, but unfortunately, it's impossible to be that precise when digging.

Sometimes, if he cuts too far off-center, Chen Feng will hit a bush, and he'll have to pull it out and dig again.

This happened several times in a row, which annoyed Chen Feng.

"Go to hell!"

After once again shoveling down to the base of the bush, Chen Feng finally lost his temper.

He dug directly at the base of the bushes, shoveling away at each shovelful.

The shrub is not large and doesn't have many roots.

After digging out most of the shrubs, Chen Feng grabbed the tree trunk, pulled them out, and threw them aside.

Chen Feng clapped his hands, preparing to pick up the shovel and continue digging the hole. When he turned around, he saw that the bushes had been pulled up, leaving a deep pit in the ground.

There were still quite a few ants crawling in that pit, and some of them were even stunned, looking up at the sky in confusion.

Perhaps they were wondering why it had suddenly become daylight.

Chen Feng didn't care what the ants were thinking; he picked up his shovel and continued digging.

This time, without the annoying bushes, Chen Feng dug much faster and was able to work more freely.

Before long, Chen Feng had dug a hole. Feeling that he was almost there, Chen Feng switched to a small shovel and began to work the soil.

After about four or five shovelfuls, Chen Feng had scooped out the goods. He shook off the dirt and ran the small shovel over the detector.

The detector beeped, confirming that the goods were still in the shovel. Chen Feng shook it gently again and then began searching with his hands.

In no time, Chen Feng found the goods.

This is a small silver ingot, which Chen Feng estimates is worth about one hundred and twenty or thirty yuan.

That's true. You can find anything, no matter how big, in this mine, without any pattern or anything.

Standing up, Chen Feng rubbed the silver ingot between his hands, put it into a small bottle, and continued walking forward with his tools.

He had only taken a few steps forward when he saw a car approaching from a distance. He instinctively stopped and looked at the car.

He seemed to have taken a liking to this place as well, and was about to stop, but after seeing Chen Feng there, he lightly pressed the accelerator and drove away.

This is also an unwritten rule in the mines: when someone is panning for gold in a certain area, you shouldn't continue panning near them.

If you don't leave and insist on shopping here, then it's no different from nitpicking.

Perhaps because of the hot weather and constant exposure to the sun, gold miners tend to have short tempers while working and are prone to physical altercations.

Seeing him drive away, Chen Feng continued walking forward.

After walking for about ten minutes, there were quite a few broken stones and tiles here, and the system gave a prompt.

Chen Feng glanced around, put down the detector, picked up a shovel, and started breaking up rocks.

After digging for a while, Chen Feng finally cleared a spot where he could stand and dig.

Squatting on the ground, Chen Feng swung his shovel forcefully. Although he had cleared away the surface gravel, there was still some underneath from time to time.

Chen Feng's shovel was frequently blocked by gravel, forcing him to first dig away the soil and then remove the gravel before he could continue digging.

This back-and-forth process did waste a lot of time, making it much slower than before.

As Chen Feng continued to shovel sand and gravel, a pit gradually took shape. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm and began to work the soil with a small shovel.

Chen Feng scooped up a shovelful of soil, ran it over the detector, and when it didn't beep, he casually tossed it away and scooped up another shovelful.

After about three or four shovelfuls, the detector went off. Chen Feng shook the soil out of the shovel and saw a corner of dark yellow stuff inside.

Chen Feng reached out and took the item out, then smiled.

This is a piece of gold. Chen Feng felt its weight and estimated it to be worth around 1,200 or 1,300, which is pretty good.

Chen Feng blew on the gold leaf, put it into a small bottle, and continued walking forward.

As I walked on this pile of rubble, the system gave me another notification after only a few minutes.

"This pile of rubble is difficult to walk through, so no one wants to explore here?" Chen Feng chuckled, glancing back and forth.

The location of the goods this time wasn't deep; Chen Feng felt it was just on the surface, and he estimated he could dig it up in a few shovels.

He put down the detector, picked up a shovel, and started prying at the rocks. With a "clattering" sound, he pried many rocks aside.

As he was working on it, Chen Feng suddenly felt something was wrong, as if the goods had disappeared and were no longer there.

He stood up, puzzled, picked up the shovel, and felt around again, his eyes involuntarily drawn to the rubble he had flung into the air.

"Depend on."

Chen Feng carefully examined the area and realized that the real treasure was hidden among the rubble; all his efforts to dig deeper had been in vain.

He put down his shovel, switched to a detector, walked over to the rubble, and scanned it back and forth.

To be honest, this action felt a little unfamiliar to him at first.

He hadn't done this in a long time since the intuition enhancement entry was introduced.

After scanning the area briefly, Chen Feng determined where the goods were.

He squatted down, laid the detector on its side, and picked up each stone one by one to test it.

Chen Feng probably had to throw more than a dozen stones before he found the one with the goods on it.

"Ooh-woo~"

Looking at the stone in his hand, Chen Feng was both amused and exasperated.

Didn't you just hit the back of my hand?

This is a newly drawn keyword.

Holding the stone and sensing it, Chen Feng had a very strange feeling.

Although it clearly looks like a stone, Chen Feng knows its structure and composition as if he has X-ray vision.

There was a piece of gold hidden in the stone, near the palm of your hand.

This piece of gold is probably worth around 1,400 or 1,500.

The only problem now is how to get the goods out.

Chen Feng looked the stone over and over, and finally found a relatively large one.

I switched to a pickaxe and dug hard on it, creating a small hole.

Chen Feng then placed the stone on top.

He then gripped the pickaxe tightly and smashed it down hard on the rock.

Stone chips flew everywhere, and gravel flew in all directions.

Chen Feng dug another hole in the big rock.

Chen Feng: "..."

He shook his hand, which had gone numb from the shock, and then aimed again and pressed down hard on the manuscript.
