Chapter 335 [Landslide]
Lu Renjia glanced at the time on the group chat panel: "It's almost midnight."
Wen Qiao asked why he felt so comfortable around Li Li today. It turned out that that annoying guy Xin Che was not around. "Where is he? Where did he go? He didn't stay by your side to protect you when I was away. How derelict of duty!"
Jiang Lili's face flashed with guilt, and she whispered, "It was me who ordered him to be kept locked up."
Wen Qiao choked: "It's okay then."
Jiang Lili took out the key, which was given to her by the Moon Clan members when she was taken out of the cell.
She touched her nose and handed the cell key to Wen Qiao: "Qiaoqiao, you are agile and it is not easy for others to discover your whereabouts. Why don't you go and open the lock?"
Wen Qiao shook his head: "I can't get involved in your affairs."
"But then again, if you told him to stay in jail, would he really just do what you told him to do, not even eating, starving?"
"He's so skilled, how could that broken cell hold him? Couldn't he have pried the lock open and gotten out to eat?"
Just as Wen Qiao finished his complaints, a cold male voice sounded above the three of them.
"Here I come."
Xin Che fell from the roof to Jiang Lili's side, and the headband on his hair swayed in two neat and elegant arcs as he fell.
Wen Qiao:.......It’s over. I shouldn’t talk about people behind their backs, especially this cheap brother-in-law who appears and disappears like a ghost.
Jiang Lili quickly looked up and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"There's nothing to eat around here, so it's okay to be hungry for a while."
Xin Che shook his head, and with a bony finger he pulled out the map of the temple ruins from Jiang Lili's arms. "It's important. Let's get going."
Jiang Lili wanted to say something, but Xin Che walked quickly.
For fear of attracting the attention of the Moon Clan, they could only use dim mini flashlights.
Along the way, Xin Che spoke out from time to time to remind everyone of the dangers ahead.
"There are thorns, be careful."
"Mud pit ahead, be careful to avoid it."
......
Seeing Xin Che concentrating on his journey without any distractions, Jiang Lili felt a little guilty.
About a quarter of an hour later, everyone arrived safely at the valley near the temple ruins.
Looking up from here, you can see the exposed rock layers of the mountain that were blown up.
But now it’s so dark that you can’t see your hand in front of you.
Jiang Lili took out a high-intensity flashlight with a very large illumination range from her personal collection: "Should I turn on the flashlight? Will it attract danger?"
"This place is quite far from the Moon Tribe, and we have a mountain in front of us for protection, so it won't be a problem if we drive for a while."
Wen Qiao pondered, "Look carefully at the location of the coal seam described on the trail and turn it off immediately."
Jiang Lili turned on a high-intensity flashlight, and everyone felt as if it was daybreak in an instant.
Lu Renjia was now wearing the glasses that Xiaopang had helped him get.
Her sight lit up, and she quickly looked in the direction she remembered: "I saw it, in that area!"
Lu Renjia pointed, and the three of them looked in the direction she pointed.
"As long as we cut samples from those layers of black rock, we can tell whether it is coal or not."
The lowest part of the exposed mountain was still four meters above the ground, and it would be too difficult to start digging a hole now. The only way was to climb the cliff to collect samples.
Jiang Lili took out the climbing rope and auxiliary tools from her personal collection.
Xin Che took the climbing rope from Jiang Lili and said, "I'll go. If anything unexpected happens, I can still use my Qinggong skills."
After all, it is a mountain that has experienced a landslide and may contain unknown dangers.
Xin Che raised the protective gear in his hand and looked at Jiang Lili for help: "This is the first time I've seen these ropes. I don't know how to use them."
Jiang Lili felt uncomfortable under Xin Che's gaze: "I'll help you tie it."
After saying that, Jiang Lili first took out the waist protector tied around her waist, then put her arms around Xin Che's waist and tied the rope around his waist.
Wen Qiao: ...
Why does she feel that this old fox Xin Che is pretending not to understand?
After putting on his climbing gear, Xin Che climbed up the mountain to fix the protection points, and then returned to the ground to test the firmness of the rope.
Everything was ready. Everyone saw Xin Che come to the front of the mountain, tap his toes a few times, and as if he had pressed the accelerator key, he easily climbed up to the location of the coal rock layer.
Jiang Lili and Lu Renjia were stunned. "If you have Qinggong, you're fast!"
Wen Qiao looked at Xin Che's light and graceful figure and fell into deep thought. If only their modern army could learn the lost art of lightness...
No, there are also these ancient martial arts secrets that can be passed down to the modern era...
Wen Qiao's eyes lit up instantly. This cheap brother-in-law is still useful.
After Xin Che climbed up the rock layer, he immediately started collecting samples. He took out a small shovel from the tool kit behind him and scraped off the black rock layer.
The black rocks fell into the small basket at his waist.
Xin Che could smell the scent of black stone and knew for sure that this was a coal mine. When he was stationed in the northern border, he had once led his soldiers to mine coal.
With the answer in his mind, Xin Che did not stay on the cliff for long and landed on the ground at an extremely fast speed.
However, just as he landed, several large rocks on the top of the cliff suddenly loosened and fell down with a "whoosh".
Xin Che shouted in the direction of the three people: "Retreat!"
Wen Qiao and Lu Renjia quickly carried Jiang Lili away.
Xin Che dodged at an extremely fast speed, shuttling between the falling rocks, his figure as fast as lightning.
“Boom—”
Several loud noises echoed through the valley.
Until the valley returned to calm, everyone was worried about Xin Che.
Jiang Lili wanted to go forward and check on Xin Che's condition immediately, but Xin Che asked her to stay where she was and not move.
After confirming that it was safe, Xin Che untied the safety rope around his waist without changing his expression, and then put away all the climbing tools.
"Are you okay?"
Jiang Lili trotted up to him and examined him carefully from head to toe.
"No problem. Before collecting coal from the mine, please pay attention to the rock conditions around the vein and check for loose rocks."
Xin Che shook his head and wanted to reach out and rub the little head in front of him, but when he remembered that his hands were covered in carbon ash, he gave up.
He took off the small basket of coal from his waist and handed it to Lu Renjia: "It's definitely a coal mine. Try to light it."
The coal mined from the mine has not been washed and contains a lot of impurities, but it can still be ignited, but the combustion is not so complete.
Lu Renjia took out the tinder and placed the coal on it. Jiang Lili lit the tinder with a lighter. After a while, the black coal began to burn, emitting an orange-red light and the smell of sulfide.
Everyone's face showed joy, it really was a coal mine!
That’s great, Xiaolu is saved, and they are going to be rich!
Xin Che: "The falling rocks just now caused some noise. Let's retreat now."
