Chapter 344: Saving One is Just One
The space spirit trembled and said, "What the hell? If you want to come out, hurry up and stop scaring me, okay?"
Su Nuan clenched her teeth. If it was an open attack, she would not be afraid. But in the current environment and atmosphere, no one could remain calm.
They waited for a while, and the creaking sound started again, but without the previous sense of urgency.
Gradually, a huge figure appeared in the outer circle of the fire. Its outline was like a beetle, but this beetle was too big, as big as an adult dog.
Gradually, Su Nuan saw clearly what was coming, but this thing was really unexpected, it was not a bug.
The space spirit was also stunned for a moment, "Huh? It's not a bug."
Su Nuan walked forward and came to the front of the animal. She quickly discovered that something was wrong.
"This pangolin had a difficult birth."
The space spirit flew over the pangolin. Some parts of the pangolin's scales were damaged and bloody. The parts that were hanging on the skin and couldn't fall off would rub and slap against other scales when it crawled, so it made a squeaking sound.
Su Nuan was no longer afraid and quickly helped the pangolin give birth.
Pangolins generally conceive in April or May, give birth in December or January, and only give birth to one baby.
But this pangolin gave birth to twins in the month it should have conceived, which is very rare.
The space spirit checked on the pangolin and said, "How strange! It actually gave birth at this time, and twins at that."
Su Nuan nodded. "Yeah, it's quite strange. Do you think it's because you're pregnant with two babies, so the baby that was supposed to be born in January has been held back until now?"
The Space Spirit laughed, "That makes sense, it's not impossible."
Su Nuan asked, "Are there termites here? I remember pangolins eat termites."
"If there's a termite nest, then you can look for black ginseng."
The space spirit said, "How would I know? It's seriously injured. You'd better take it in, or I'm afraid it will die."
Su Nuan nodded. "Okay, pangolins have difficulty reproducing, so if we can save one, we'll save one."
After saying that, she put the pangolin into the space. The river water could help it recover, and it should have no problem raising two babies.
Su Nuan grabbed a torch and walked along the bloodstains on the ground.
It turned out that there was a small hole in the wall of the cave.
Su Nuan lay down, put the torch in and looked inside, but didn't see anything.
"Space Spirit, go in and take a look, maybe there's something good there."
In fact, she didn't expect anything good, she just wanted the space spirit to go in and take a look.
The space spirit didn't think much about it and flew in as soon as it heard there was something good.
After a while, she came out and said with a bad look on her face, "There's nothing, but there's a lot of coal."
Su Nuan laughed secretly, and put on a disappointed look, "Ah...it's good to have coal."
"But I'm worried that once all the coal is mined, a huge pit will form here. If we then build a city here, won't the entire city sink?"
The space spirit said, "Yes, the coal mines are not just here and there. Once they are dug up, they will be spread over a large area. If things go wrong, they may be spread over the entire Northland."
Su Nuan was silent. She didn't want the entire north to sink.
The space spirit said maliciously: "Oh my, now you are in big trouble."
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "What trouble?"
The Space Spirit laughed and said, "You have to take care of people's livelihoods, forge tools, and mine coal, and now you have to worry about the collapse of the Northland."
Su Nuan also felt a headache, "Never mind, let's go up first."
The space spirit quickly said, "No, don't you want to know what I saw down there?"
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "If you don't tell me, I don't want to know."
The space spirit was depressed, "But if I don't tell you, don't you feel suffocated?"
Su Nuan replied calmly, "If I don't listen, you'll be the one who feels suffocated. Sooner or later, you won't be able to hold it back any longer."
Space Spirit, “…” I really want to say hello.
In the end, the space spirit couldn't hold it back because she saw that Su Nuan really wanted to leave.
She quickly said, "There's a small spaceship underneath. I don't know when it landed here."
Su Nuan was not surprised. "Well, you want me to receive it in the space?"
There must be some problem, otherwise when the space spirit sees good things, it will dig them into the space by itself.
Sure enough, the space spirit pointed his finger and said weakly, "If we close it, we will fall directly into the underground river. The end of this underground river should be the river outside."
Su Nuan nodded. There was nothing here except grass, and the only living thing was the pangolin.
"That's not a problem. Once the underground river is opened up, there will be flowing water and air, which is good for miners."
Seeing that Su Nuan didn't mind, the space spirit said, "Wait for me."
Su Nuan quickly ran to where they came down, "Wait for me to go up, otherwise I will fall down too."
The space spirit had already dived into the water and didn't hear Su Nuan's words at all.
Su Nuan could only try her best to run to the edge of the cave wall, hoping that the space spirit would not collect the things so quickly.
However, when she was three feet away from the cliff, she could no longer move, as if there was an invisible rope pulling her from behind.
Su Nuan looked back and estimated the distance, which was about five hundred meters. This meant that the space spirit could not be more than five hundred meters away from her.
Just as she turned around, she felt a vibration under her feet, and the already soft grass became even softer.
She looked down at her feet and felt like she was falling, but the rope was hanging three feet in front of her and she couldn't grab it.
"Boom..."
There was a loud bang, and Su Nuan felt like she was in free fall.
She threw herself forward and luckily managed to grab the end of the rope.
Her body hit the cliff and swayed from side to side.
Looking down, she could only see a big pit, and the space spirit pounced into her arms like a small cannonball.
"Hurry up."
Su Nuan noticed her anxious tone and asked, "What's wrong?"
She had already started climbing up quickly as she asked.
The space spirit said, "There are a lot of crocodiles down there. I'm afraid you'll fall in and get eaten."
Su Nuan, “…”
She couldn't say anything now and could only climb up quickly.
After climbing for a while, she found that the person above was reeling in the rope, which allowed her to climb much faster.
When they reached the top, Ling Yun dropped the rope and asked, "Is sister-in-law in danger?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "No, there's a hidden river underground. There are a lot of crocodiles in the river. If you fall in, you'll be wiped out."
Ling Yun frowned and said, "Crocodile? Why are there crocodiles here?"
Su Nuan asked, "Aren't there crocodiles in the North?"
Ling Yun shook his head. "No, the north is cold and not suitable for crocodiles to live in. They live in warm areas where there is no ice."
Su Nuan nodded, "So that's how it is."
She quickly put the matter behind her because it had nothing to do with her.
Su Nuan returned to the passage and said, "Let's look somewhere else. This is not the source of the problem."
