Uncle Jiu stepped forward and observed it for a moment: "This is the Snake Spirit Fruit, which can cure all snake venoms in the world."
Yu Qian'an: "Anti-snake venom? That white snake isn't venomous, right? That's a giant python, right? How could something like an antidote grow in its lair?"
Uncle Jiu pondered for a moment: "But it's a snake..."
Yu Qian’an: “…”
After collecting these fruits, he continued to search. The space here was very large. Yu Qian'an saw a box in a depression in a stone. The box was made of crystal and looked very high-end. The things that could be opened should be above gold.
After searching again, Yu Qian'an shook his head in disappointment: "I thought the lair of the three-colored mythical monster would grow three-colored magical medicines, but I didn't expect this snake to be so poor?"
Uncle Jiu: "Snakes themselves are a good medicine. Snake gall can detoxify, snake skin can be made into armor, meat can be eaten, and bones can be used to make snake wine."
Yu Qian'an: "That's true. We shouldn't be too greedy. Let's go and look at the cave in the other direction."
The three of them walked inside along another cave. The further they went, the hotter it became. The temperature here was already 700 to 800 degrees Celsius. Spiritual power alone was no longer enough to withstand it. Yu Qian'an and the other two took out clothes sprayed with heat-insulating coating and put them on.
Passing through a trumpet-shaped hole, there is a huge underground space outside. The fiery red magma is bubbling in the middle, and the surrounding platform is inlaid with sulfur, spirit stones and alloy blocks.
Yu Qian'an: "The rules of this world are truly magical. The ore actually clumps together directly, just like mining in games."
There's a lot of space here. If they rely solely on Yu Qian'an and the other two to dig, there's no telling how long they'll finish digging. Yu Qian'an planned to go back and ask Jia Xu to send miners over. After checking around to confirm there were no dangers, he was a little disappointed: "That's it?"
Zhao Yun: "What's wrong?"
Yu Qian'an: "Normally, expeditions like this should involve some kind of adventure, like the remains of a powerful being, or the discovery of some rare treasure. But all we have left here is an ordinary crater with just a few minerals?
I feel like it's unworthy of the other party's status as a three-colored mythical creature. This nest is too shabby."
Zhao Yun: "Maybe there are some good things underwater here. Why don't I go down and take a look?"
Yu Qian'an: "There's no light down there, it's pitch black and too dangerous. There must be a hidden river leading to an unknown place. There's no need for us to take risks. If there's no river, then there's no river."
Yu Qian'an decided to play it safe. He felt that he had a mild fear of the abyss, especially in this unfamiliar deep water environment. He would not go down if he could avoid it.
After finding nothing new, the three of them returned the same way. Yu Qian'an looked at the vine and said, "This vine has been growing here for thousands of years. Even if it's not a sacred tree, it's at least a high-quality timber. The trunk below is as thick as several men's waists. When the search is over, I'll have Jia Xu find a way to get it."
Uncle Jiu was also staring at the vine after hearing what Yu Qian'an said: "Hey, this looks like Polygonum multiflorum? Boss, the good stuff is the root of this vine. It's a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, which is hard to come by!"
Yu Qian'an: "Polygonum multiflorum? Can you use it to wash your hair?"
Uncle Jiu: "Polygonum multiflorum is not only good for washing hair and replenishing blood and essence; it can also detoxify and stop malaria. Eating it raw can moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements. It is mainly used to treat blood and essence deficiency, dizziness, premature graying of hair, soreness of the waist and knees, chronic malaria, carbuncle, scrofula, dry intestines and constipation..."
Yu Qian'an: "I remember now, this thing can nourish the kidneys, right? It's really a good thing! I'll dig it out after I've collected the things below."
Uncle Jiu: "It's not just for kidney nourishment. This Polygonum multiflorum can strengthen the body and replenish vital energy. It can be used to refine elixirs to replenish vital energy and heal injuries. Moreover, this ten thousand year old Polygonum multiflorum may have already acquired intelligence. Picking it requires skill."
Yu Qian'an: "Oh, just like when ginseng turns into a spirit and runs away? Uncle Jiu will come and pick it then."
Uncle Nine: "Okay."
After returning to the car, Yu Qian'an told Jia Xu about the situation over there, and Jia Xu immediately arranged for someone to pack up the remaining things.
Yu Qian'an now has two boxes in his hands, one was obtained when he was promoted to gold, and the other was obtained from the giant snake's nest. Thinking about the days when there was a treasure chest every fifty kilometers, he really misses it.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at the station, but the 30-day red luck still hadn't arrived, Yu Qian'an suspected that he was either holding back a big one or he had given himself a big one.
After a day of rest, Yu Qian'an felt that the car had not left yet: "What's going on? Haven't they finished collecting the things over there?"
Zhao Yun: "Mr. Jia Xu is organizing people to fish and divert the river to clean up the water in the pool below."
Yu Qian'an: "What the hell? Fishing to pump water to divert the river? What kind of operation is this? Is this necessary?"
Zhao Yun: "The fish there are very easy to catch. Just tie a rope to the anchor and hang some meat on it, and the fish will bite. The fish you catch are all blue and red, with delicious meat and plenty of them.
Mr. Jia Xu said that if we catch more of these fish, everyone can eat them and their strength will increase faster.
The river was diverted to pump water from the pool below in order to extinguish the volcano and facilitate the collection of ore from the Snake Cave."
Yu Qian'an: "Is it necessary to carry out such an exaggerated project?"
Zhao Yun: "It looks quite simple. Mr. Jia Xu uses backpacks of different levels to collect water, and then pours it directly into the snake hole. Then a lot of water vapor comes out, and some of the water is brought up, some is released, and some is stored on the car.
Mr. Jia Xu said that at the current rate of progress, the pond can be drained in three days. Let's see if there are any good things underneath."
Yu Qian’an: “…”
Although it feels a bit silly, big things often require such dumb methods to accomplish. Just like in war, digging tunnels is the dumbest method, the least efficient and the most time-consuming, but after trying all the methods, you find that digging tunnels is actually the most practical method.
Three days later, Yang Jiarui and Wang Yang arrived. Seeing that most of the water in the pond had been drained, they marveled at the wonders of nature. Wang Yang even took a set of fishing rods and wanted to go fishing.
After all the water was drained, Yu Qian'an went down again and finally saw the whole picture of the pool. The pool was dozens of kilometers wide and several thousand meters deep. The reason why there were so many fish was that in addition to the sinkhole itself, there was also an underground river flowing through it. The water in the sinkhole also flowed along this underground river.
There is not much aquatic plants growing on the entire bottom of the water because there is no sunlight. There are some glowing aquatic plants and jellyfish between the strange rocks, which should be food for those big fish.
The thick layer of silt at the bottom of the water was gradually cleared away, revealing the rocks underneath.
Yu Qian'an was a little disappointed: "There's nothing precious here. We worked in vain."
Uncle Jiu: "Boss, this silt is a treasure. This is not ordinary silt, this is spiritual soil."
