Chen Wangping looked at the hard rock on the rock wall in front of him, picked up the green steel pickaxe and smashed it with force.
90%
"Bang!"
With perfect strength, he smashed the rock with one pickaxe, and at the same time, created a hole the size of a fist in the rock wall.
"Clatter, clatter"
There was a continuous sound of water coming from behind the hole.
Chen Wangping was delighted, he found it!
To be honest, this pickaxe may seem simple, but in fact, without the precise detection of the mineral detector and the power storage capability of the Qinggang pickaxe, no one else would be able to break through the rock wall and discover the underground river behind it.
Chen Wangping leaned against the rock wall and looked carefully through the hole.
Behind this cave should be a tributary of an underground river. The water flow is not very turbulent, and there is a stalactite rock on the back of the cave. It is more than 20 meters away from the bank of the underground river and more than 60 meters away from the rock above.
Moreover, there are only some small red dots the size of sesame seeds on the radar, which is very safe.
Chen Wangping felt relieved and picked up the pickaxe to continue expanding the hole. Soon he created a passage that was one person tall.
“Whoosh!”
The curious golden eagle folded its wings and flew over, but accidentally bumped into a stalactite, knocking the large stalactite hanging upside down on the rock wall into the water.
"thump"
Chen Wangping looked in the direction of the sound and suddenly discovered that the stalactite was actually glowing faintly.
"Diaobao, hurry up and grab that stalactite, it's a valuable treasure."
The golden eagle had already dodged, but after hearing Chen Wangping's words, it braked suddenly, drew an arc in the air, and went around to grab the stalactite close to the water surface.
Chen Wangping walked through the passage and carefully tested the strength of the stalactite rock under his feet. Only after he was sure that there was no problem did he walk up and take the piece of stalactite from the golden eagle.
【Hundred-year-old stalactites☆】
【Use: Fertilizer, medicinal material】
[Special Effect - Sedimentation: Centennial stalactites can significantly increase soil fertility and improve plant levels]
[Note: Centennial stalactites are born when they fall into water, and dissolve when they enter water]
"It's actually fertilizer? It's considered lucky that the ironwood seedlings were struck by lightning." Chen Wangping put away the stalactites, looked up at the rest of the stalactites, and found that there was no system light on them.
"Diaobao, find one of similar size and try bumping it again."
The golden eagle took the order and left, but after breaking three or four stalactites, it failed to create this century-old stalactite.
Chen Wangping called back the golden eagle, he now understood.
According to the information in the notes, this thing should fall into the water the moment it is formed, but it will melt once it falls into the water.
The timing of Diaobao's collision just now was just right, and it was already very lucky to get a hundred-year-old stalactite.
"Diaobao, take me around and look for a place with slow-flowing water to use as a power station."
“Beep!”
Soon, the man and the eagle wandered around this tributary of the underground river.
Chen Wangping discovered that the area of the underground river bank here was not very large, only about 500 square meters, and the front and back had been separated by the water flow, which was equivalent to this river bank being a peninsula.
Chen Wangping was quite satisfied with this.
The peninsula is good. You can fish on three sides of the peninsula, and the area of 500 square meters is also very large, which is also good for placing a water pump.
As for the magnetite spot seen on the radar before, it is above the underground river farther to the east. We have to continue walking along the mine tunnel to get there. We will talk about this later.
Moreover, perhaps there is not much food here, or it is too close to the underground river, making it inconvenient to live here.
By observing the situation on the ground and on the radar, he found that there were no traces of animals or feces on this small island, and the radar only showed some small insects, so it was quite safe.
At the end, when he returned to the small peninsula, he suddenly saw many herbs more than one meter high growing on a rock wall next to him. Not far from these plants, several rays of sunlight were shining through the cracks in the rocks. According to the position, these rays of light would reach the position of these herbs in a few hours.
Chen Wangping looked carefully and found that the roots of these herbs were faintly emitting light through the soil.
He became interested and tugged at Diaobao's claws, saying, "Diaobao, over there, go and take a look."
“Beep!”
When the golden eagle heard Chen Wangping's tone, it knew that he must have found something good again, and it happily dragged Chen Wangping to the rock wall.
After getting closer, Chen Wangping took a quick look but couldn't tell what kind of plant it was.
The leaves are oblong, the stems of the plant are very soft, and some leaves have pink flowers on them.
"Potatoes? Sweet potatoes? Yams? There aren't many edible root vegetables."
Chen Wangping grabbed the iron rod with one hand and pulled the glowing plant down with the other.
Pulling it in his hand, he took a look at the yellow swollen rhizome in the mud.
Recognized it.
This is Alpinia officinalis.
"Wild onions, ginger, and some garlic will make a stir-fry." Chen Wangping felt sorry for the golden eagle taking him with him, and without taking a closer look, he pulled hard at the ginger with a glowing root.
Back on the small peninsula, Chen Wangping took out a piece of Alpinia officinalis and examined it. He was surprised to find that this piece of Alpinia officinalis actually had two kinds of radiance, one was the radiance of the seeds and the other was the radiance of the fruit.
"Wait, ginger reproduces asexually, which means high-quality ginger roots can be used as ginger seedlings."
Chen Wangping checked the properties with surprise:
【Water Alpinia oxyphylla】
【Use: Food】
[Special Effect - Dispel Cold: Reduces cold damage by 50% within half an hour after consumption]
[Note: High-quality water ginger is more effective in dispelling cold]
