"Why did you run to the beach just now?"
Some of the soldiers took the octopus corpse back, and Su Yuan asked Mao Ye to take the other part to the beach to pick up some seafood that had just washed up on the beach. He found an open space on the shore and sat down.
In addition to these dozen little guys around him, Long also sat next to Su Yuan, and his face looked much happier after being comforted by Su Yuan.
"Just now, Boss Zhizhi said there was a strange black stone there, and that it was a treasure that he could give to you, the leader."
Zhizhi hasn't recovered yet. Her eyes are red and twitch from time to time, which is very cute. Su Yuan hugs her and pats her back gently.
"What about your stone?"
“Here… there.”
Zhizhi jumped out of Su Yuan's arms and trotted to an open space on the beach. The small wooden barrel that he had brought over was broken into pieces by the octopus. Inside it were some small shells and crabs that Zhizhi had picked up.
After searching for a while, he finally found a fist-sized black stone among a pile of small things, and then walked back to Su Yuan on his short legs.
"This is it. We found it very magical and planned to pick it up and give it to you." Zhizhi wiped away her tears and raised the stone with anticipation.
This stone...how should I put it, it feels very familiar, but I just can't remember where it is.
After she finished explaining, Zhizhi was worried that Su Yuan didn't understand, so she demonstrated it again. She brought the stone close to the sand on the ground and rolled it around the beach. Fine black sand stuck to the surface of the stone.
“It’s a magnet!!!”
Su Yuan immediately widened his eyes in shock. He had been looking for iron ore for such a long time, but he didn't expect that there was iron sand on this beach. He immediately picked up the magnetite.
He picked up the fine sand with his fingers and placed it in his palm, where the attraction of the magnetite immediately attracted it to the surface of the ore.
"There's iron ore here, no...iron sand. It seems I've found the right place."
Su Yuan was very excited and wanted to return to the camp immediately to refine the iron sand into weapons. Even if he could not upgrade the system, he could at least allow the tribe to enter the Iron Age.
"Su Yuan, I won't dare to make trouble again next time. Can you please not let the adults punish them?"
The little chinchilla recovered, pulled Su Yuan's clothes, and looked at him pitifully.
"Punishment? You ran out recklessly this time and almost got into danger. You do deserve punishment."
"Then... then you punish me. They... they followed me out." Zhizhi looked a little scared, but when she saw Long Zhi wiping her tears, she obediently lay in front of Su Yuan and waited for punishment.
"Wu, it is our request to go treasure hunting, and we are willing to be punished."
These little beast girls are quite loyal. They come forward one by one with bitter faces. If this scene were bigger, Zhizhi's leadership ability would really make her suitable to be a tribal leader.
"You guys should have been punished, but you found a very precious treasure and made a great contribution, so I will punish you..."
The group of little beast girls raised their heads and looked at Su Yuan nervously.
"As punishment, you will only have two wishes after one wish is granted. You have found a very valuable treasure, so you can make two requests of me."
"Leader!" Long was a little anxious, worried that Su Yuan was too biased towards Zhizhi.
However, Su Yuan held her arm and comforted her, "Long, blindly punishing them is useless. Besides, they really did find a treasure, which is very important to the tribe."
What was important was not magnetite, but the noise made by Zhizhi and the others opened Su Yuan's mind. Iron was not only found in mines.
"I...I understand. I'll go collect food with them first."
