Chapter 113 Gold Scale Stone Mine
Ning Xuan didn't know how Tang Xue and the others attracted the siege of the golden-scaled beasts, but now she had discovered that this place with extremely dense energy seemed to be the golden-scaled beasts' lair.
Lin Mo was still guarding Ning Xuan. Chen Nan and Leng Yue looked at Ning Xuan, waiting for her instructions.
The Golden Scale Stone, ranked second on the bounty list given by the Equipment Refiners Association, is a rare mineral that grows in the habitat of golden-scaled beasts.
She looked at the golden stones, and felt that her eyes were all reflected in golden colors. Ning Xuan's breathing became lighter unconsciously. The valley in front of her was like a golden furnace overturned by the gods. Thousands of golden scale stones were embedded in the layers of golden veins in the valley, and the surface of each ore flowed with the luster of liquid metal. She leaned over and reached out to touch the nearest ore, and felt a strange touch at her fingertips - the seemingly hard surface was rippling like the surface of water, and the touched part slowly sank, and then returned to its original state when she pulled her fingers away.
"Is this the super ductility of the golden scale stone?" Lin Mo looked at the golden valley with shock in his eyes.
"Miss Ning, have you awakened a special treasure-hunting ability? You can actually find this place." When Leng Yue followed Ning Xuan here just now, he was complaining in his heart that Ning Xuan led him to difficult roads. Who would have thought that she actually discovered the golden scale stone mine.
The golden-scaled beast feeds on golden-scaled stones, and the shed scales can generate new ore under the energy of the mineral veins.
However, the Golden Scale Beast is relatively easy to spot, but the Golden Scale Stone mine is very difficult to find. In previous years, many people from all walks of life who entered the secret realm in search of treasures have captured the Golden Scale Beast. Only a small amount of Golden Scale Stone has been found in the area where the Golden Scale Beast is active, and no one has ever found the Golden Scale Beast's habitat.
The ore of Golden Scale Stone has super ductility. After special quenching, it can be freely transformed between solid and liquid. It is one of the necessary auxiliary materials for refining the most powerful storage magic weapon, the Mysterious Ring. Moreover, Golden Scale Stone has many other wonderful uses. This material is a precious material that every refining master dreams of.
The tip of Chen Nan's sword picked up a fist-sized piece of golden scale stone. A scratch appeared on the ore the moment the sword energy passed through it. Chen Nan took the ore in his hand and handed it to Ning Xuan. At this time, the scratch on the ore returned to normal.
"It has such strong recovery and deformation capabilities even before it is refined. Is it only with such characteristics that it can withstand the energy impact when the space is folded?" Leng Yue said in surprise.
"Chen Nan, get ready for mining." Ning Xuan instructed Chen Nan. Chen Nan, who had been eager to try, agreed, took out the mining tools he brought into the secret realm from the space button, and started working.
The precious, shallow, small vein of the golden scale stone mine is not suitable for the use of mechanized mining equipment in order to maintain the integrity of the ore and reduce losses. It can only be mined manually using small tools such as shovels. The two small mining robots that Ning Xuan kept in the mysterious ring also played a significant role.
Chen Nan and the others worked very hard, and Ning Xuan was not idle either. Only one person out of the group of six was left to be alert to the movements around, and the others were all engaged in mining. After about two hours, most of the gold scale stone veins in the valley had been reduced, and the superficial ones had been dug out, and the golden light in the valley had diminished a lot.
"It's time to eat. Let's take a rest after eating." Ning Xuan felt hungry, so she asked everyone to eat and rest.
Chen Nan and others couldn't let go of these ores. They finished their meal in a hurry and immediately plunged into mining.
By the time the sky darkened and the setting sun sank behind the mountain ridge, most of the gold-scale stones in the valley had been mined out. The seven caves where the gold-scale beasts lived had expanded a lot after Ning Xuan and his team mined out all the ore.
This was in the Spiritual Medicine Valley, and they hadn't found a suitable place to stay yet. This location was very secluded, and they could use it as a place to stay after they made some arrangements around it.
Ning Xuan took out a space button specially used to hold ores. She probed her mental power into the space button and "saw" tens of thousands of golden scale stones emitting ripples of golden light, which was quite spectacular.
The golden scale stones were arranged neatly. It was roughly estimated that there were about five or six thousand pieces in this space button.
Ning Xuan still had two space buttons filled with golden scale stones in her hand. At this time, six people gathered around the campfire. Ning Xuan raised the space button in her hand and said, "Everyone has worked hard today. We have dug up a lot of golden scale stones. Let's..."
Ning Xuan wanted to discuss the distribution of the golden scale stone, but as soon as she brought up the topic, Zhao Qiu and Su He both knelt down and said, "Miss Ning, we accepted the organization's mission and came to work for you. According to the organization's discipline, we enjoy all the subsidies and benefits given by the organization, but during the mission, we must obey your command and cannot neglect our duties and seek personal gain. Besides, if it weren't for you, we would not be able to pass the entrance. You saved our lives. We don't want these ores and all other spoils." Zhao Qiu said to Ning Xuan very seriously.
Zhao Qiu and Su He are both Yan Fuzhen's subordinates, and they usually take turns to protect Ning Xuan.
Leng Yue also cupped his hands seriously and said, "I am here just like them, following orders. Besides, this place was originally discovered by you. Without you, we would not have found this place." Although Leng Yue was a little envious, he did not dare to take these minerals. All the Marshal's property belonged to Ning Xuan. How could he dare to take Ning Xuan's things?
"Master, the rules of the legion cannot be broken. However, after they complete the task, you can reward them based on their performance. This will not be considered breaking the rules." Lin Mo said to Ning Xuan.
Ning Xuan nodded and put the space button into the mysterious ring. Although she did want to give out some of the ore, the amount would definitely not be much, and whoever took it would have to leave her team immediately. If she had to give away all the treasures she found, it would be better for her to just take Chen Nan and Lin Mo with her to walk in the secret realm. Even if it was a little harder, it would be worth it as long as she could keep all the treasures.
"You have your own rules, and you have to follow my rules in my team. I discovered this mine, and after we leave the secret realm, I will give you some of it appropriately, so that you won't work in vain. In the future, rare minerals and precious herbs that rank high on the bounty list will belong to whoever discovers them. Of course, the distribution ratio will be determined based on the amount of effort each person has contributed, provided that you have experienced dangerous fights or scrambles in the process of discovering and obtaining the treasures. If you are injured because of protecting me or doing things under my orders, this is considered a work-related injury, and I will treat you free of charge. However, if you are injured due to personal reasons, you will have to pay a price for my treatment."
