Chapter 405: The Fury of Not Being Trusted
Seeing that Su Nuan didn't say anything, Hai Lan turned his wrist and picked up the big black scorpion.
"You want to eat?"
Su Nuan looked at the huge scorpion with its fangs and claws bared in front of her, and she almost rolled down the hillside.
"No, no, no, that's not how you eat scorpions."
At this time, the space spirit had already pounced over with its mouth wide open, wanting to eat the scorpion.
Su Nuan quickly grabbed her and said, "The scorpion needs to be processed and fried."
The space spirit licked his lips and said, "Well, this one is not enough."
Su Nuan nodded, "Not enough, not enough, grab more."
Scorpions can be used as medicine, and their venom can also be used, so there's no harm in catching more.
Hailan asked, "Can't we just keep it? There are mountains inside too."
Su Nuan scratched his head. "What if I raise a creature with a spirit and it commands the scorpion army to run around?"
Hailan smiled and said, "No, the creatures there will not be hostile to you."
Su Nuan didn't think so. "But some of the trees in the orchard are quite fierce."
Hailan was silent for a moment and nodded, "That's right."
After saying that, he took a silver bag and put the scorpion in it.
Next they began to look for scorpions.
Ling Yun in the distance was a little confused. Did they come here just to find scorpions?
He couldn't figure it out and could only continue waiting.
An hour later, Su Nuan saw that the bag was full and said, "That's enough. Let's get down to business first."
"We've been here for a long time, why haven't we experienced any hallucinations?"
Hailan smiled and said, "Don't worry, you won't be disturbed by my side."
Su Nuan didn't expect Hai Lan to have such a skill. She nodded happily and said, "Let's go find that thing."
She glanced at the map again, "Hmm... the iron ore is over there, let's go check it out first."
Hailan nodded and they continued on their way.
The entrance to the iron mine is behind the hill. The entrance is supported by wood, and there are several broken two-wheeled carts outside the cave.
Hailan picked up a stone from the ground and said, "This is iron ore. The purity is not high. Where is the associated ore?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "I don't know. Let's go in and take a look."
She thought of the coal mine behind the cliff, where a similar incident had occurred, and the situation here should be similar.
The two entered the cave, and Su Nuan took out a torch from his backpack and lit it.
There were many remaining torches on the cave walls, and she lit them one by one, making the mine tunnel brighter.
The mine tunnel is generally trapezoidal, with bumpy walls.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, the torches on the cave walls began to become scarce. Did they know that torches would consume oxygen?
Hai Lan didn't need a torch, he could see clearly with his eyes.
Ling Yun, who was following behind, was not doing so well. He couldn't see the person in front of him clearly and was anxious, but he was afraid of being discovered if he got closer.
Su Nuan looked back several times and saw Ling Yun's embarrassment clearly. She laughed in her heart, thinking that he deserved to stumble.
In fact, since he came up to meet me generously, I could also introduce Hailan as a new friend without having to hide.
Hai Lan said, "If the iron ore here is not mined by slaves, it will be of little value."
Su Nuan nodded, "That means hiring someone is not cost-effective."
Hai Lan nodded. "Yes, let's go to the end and take a look. If the content is still this high, then there's really no need to dig."
Su Nuan quickened her pace.
The mine was snake-shaped, winding and twisting. After turning who knows how many corners they had, they finally reached the end.
Su Nuan held a torch and looked at the big pit in front of him. There was a corpse beside the pit, and judging from the degree of decay, it had been more than ten days.
Hai Lan said: "This man was scared to death."
Su Nuan brought the torch close to the corpse. The man was a middle-aged man with wide-open eyes and a ferocious face. It was not ruled out that it was because he had been dead for many days.
Hailan kicked the corpse and kicked him into the pit.
Su Nuan saw a wooden sign under the body, "What is that?"
Hai Lan took a look and said, "It should be an ID card."
Su Nuan moved the torch closer, but didn't recognize the words written on the wooden sign.
Hai Lan asked, "Isn't this the language you use there?"
Su Nuan nodded, "No."
She kicked the wooden sign behind her and told Ling Yun to go and see if he could recognize it, as she was too lazy to think about it.
When she was about to leave, the space spirit flew back from the pit and said, "There's something down there. Do you want to go down and take a look?"
Su Nuan asked: "How high?"
The space spirit looked at Su Nuan and said, "You shouldn't die if you jump down."
Su Nuan, "..." If he didn't die from the fall, then he might be crippled.
She silently took out a roll of rope from her backpack and fixed it to the pillars in the cave that served as upper and lower supports.
"I'll go down and take a look."
Hai Lan nodded. He had no flying device so he could only crawl down.
The lightness fruit that Su Nuan ate last time made her very light, so climbing up and down was not a problem at all.
The pit below is quite large, more than ten meters deep. This depth is not enough to cause injuries, but there are a lot of angular gravel under the pit, which increases the danger.
The space spirit said, "Over there."
Su Nuan nodded and followed the space spirit. After walking for a while, she saw a silver box. The box was deformed and cracked.
Su Nuan turned around and looked at Hai Lan, "Do you know what this is?"
Hai Lan walked over and squatted down to examine it. "This isn't something that causes hallucinations. It should be a storage box made by someone."
After saying that, he took out a bone knife and violently cut the box open.
He opened the box, revealing some ore inside.
Su Nuan squatted beside Hai Lan and looked at the minerals. She thought they looked pretty, but she didn't know what they were.
Hai Lan said: "These are some derivative ores. They are not used in this era, but they can be placed in the factory to replenish elements."
Su Nuan nodded, "Then put it on."
She took out a cloth bag from her backpack and prepared to put the ore in it. Hailan grabbed her hand and said, "Don't move. These ores are radioactive. Don't touch them with your hands."
Su Nuan was startled and quickly withdrew her hand, "Forget it, but what can the people here do by collecting it?"
Hai Lan shook her head. "I don't know, but humans all like to collect those mysterious and incomprehensible substances."
"They also like materials that are difficult to obtain. If they can be circulated, they will sell for a very high price, such as gemstones."
Su Nuan nodded, "Yeah, what about this? We can't just leave it like this, right?"
Hailan looked up and said, "Leave it there. That guy wants to see it too."
Su Nuan simply stood up and said, "Ling Yun, come out."
Ling Yun was stunned, thinking to himself: "How did she know I was here? Is she trying to trick me?"
Seeing that Ling Yun didn't come out, Su Nuan said again: "Still not coming out? Aren't you curious about this thing?"
Ling Yun was certain at this moment that Su Nuan knew he was following her, so he walked out of the darkness and asked, "How did you know I was following you?"
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "Don't think I don't know anything."
Ling Yun was silent, and his mind began to wander again: "Could it be that she knew I was following her, so she didn't get intimate with that man?"
When Su Nuan saw Ling Yun looking at Hai Lan with a bad look in his eyes, she felt like he deserved a beating, and anger of not being trusted ignited in her heart.
"Lingyun, what's that look in your eyes?"
