Spirit Stone Hunter

They didn't encounter any troubles along the way, and they didn't even encounter the ferocity they expected. This made the trip look surprisingly smooth, and naturally everyone was in a good mood because of this.

Ma Xiaotian contributed a lot to maintaining a good mood on the road.The best food when on the road is the combination of marching rations and jerky, but in the forest, when hunting is possible, people prefer to eat fresh barbecue, so Ma Xiaotian's barbecue ingredients and dipping sauces have become sought after by everyone nice one.When they arrived at the mining area, the ready-made barbecue ingredients that Ma Xiaotian had prepared before had been consumed, and the number of people doubled, and they were all very edible. This was unexpected, and there was no other way.Fortunately, he can't bring dry seasonings, and some commonly used ingredients can be collected on the road this season, which makes everyone still very enthusiastic about the next barbecue, but pity Ma Xiaotian, there is always a feeling that he is not a spirit stone hunter , but the chef's illusion...

Zhan Jiu naturally felt sorry for his wife.But if you want to integrate two different teams to do one thing, you must have something in common to enhance mutual feelings.Those people fell in love with Xiaotian's craftsmanship, which was much easier than communicating in other ways.So every night, Ma Xiaotian will help with the concentrated dinner that Ma Xiaotian must personally prepare.Fortunately, Yingfeng and Muyuan are also good helpers, so even though Xiaotian complained twice before going to bed every night, seeing him go to work happily the next day, Zhan Jiu was more happy than Xiaotian. Distressed.

The journey on the road not only did not speed up due to the increase in the number of people, but it took a day longer to reach the mining area.Before entering the mining area, the group set up today's camp outside the mining area.It’s not that they don’t want to go in, but according to the data, they have to walk for a day from the top to the bottom of the pit, and it will take six hours at the fastest. It was already past two o’clock in the afternoon when they arrived. .

As usual, Ma Xiaotian took out a large dustproof cloth from the storage bag and spread it on the floor, and then began to prepare the seasoning for tonight's food.

In view of the fact that tomorrow he will officially enter the bottom of the mine pit for preliminary survey and excavation search, Ma Xiaotian wants to celebrate.The easiest and most convenient way in the wild is shabu-shabu, but today he chose a similar but different way, that is fried meat.

It is more troublesome to prepare fried meat, because the meat has to be marinated in advance, and the vegetables have to be prepared with sauce.So the dust-proof cloth was covered with all kinds of bottles and jars, as well as a bunch of fresh spices collected. Ma Xiaotian made it look like a chemical laboratory, which dazzled the people around who wanted to steal the teacher. Give up this unrealistic idea.Where did they expect that it would be so troublesome to prepare a marinade.When I usually make it at home, there are at most four or five commonly used spices, salt, and sugar.Ma Xiaotian has roughly fifteen or six kinds of spices, not to mention that he can also put fruits and vegetables in it, it is really not easier than doing experiments at all.

Taking out a sealed bag, Ma Xiaotian opened it and smelled it. "Ah Choo! Cool! Sure enough, the smell became stronger after a while."

Kui Ren's nose is much sharper than that of Ling Ren, so Ying Feng sneezed too. "What's the smell? It's so choking."

Ma Xiaotian poured the yellow seasoning powder into the large fresh-keeping box used for cured meat. "This is the secret seasoning I prepared before I set off. I call it curry. It's spicy, but it's not the same as the spicy red oil chili sauce. But I think you will like it!"

Before the curry powder was packaged, Ma Xiaotian fried it. He traveled all over the supermarkets in Hexi, and asked Zhan Jiu to take him to the hunter's market before he could gather the things together.In fact, he never made it himself in his previous life, and he ate curry like fast food, so the only spice he can remember is the recipe of curry powder in the supermarket, and he doesn't know the proportion.However, after his preparation, the effect is not bad, at least he thinks it is better than the one bought in the supermarket in his previous life.The taste of curry is very strong, but the spicy taste is not too strong, but it has a lot of stamina. He and Zhan Jiu only tried to make a small pot of curry beef at home, and both of them were very satisfied.Originally, I thought that I would show my talents in the mining area and stew a pot of curry potato, bean and beef, which tastes good and can sweat and drive away the cold.Now talking about fried meat, he also remembered this.The marinated curry meat slices are fried and served with white rice. Just thinking about it makes his mouth water.

With cumin-flavored leaves as spices, cumin-flavored cured meat is naturally indispensable.As for the diseases that can be fried and eaten, there are not too many diseases.Apart from potatoes, purple eggplants, mushrooms and purple aunts, the rest depends on personal preference.In fact, as long as it is edible, just put it on the fried meat plate and cook the dipping sauce.

After listening to Ma Xiaotian's introduction and eating, the big guys smelled the smell of marinated meat again. After the temporary tents were opened, everyone sat around, put all kinds of food in the middle, and heated them up for each person. The heater, above the heater is a heating plate.They are all high-temperature-resistant things, and you can directly spread oil on them and fry the meat.

Soon, it seemed that the smell of fried meat was all over the place.The fried curry beef slices received unanimous praise from everyone.

It's not that Ma Xiaotian likes crowds. Although these people are all companions, since the number of visitors has doubled, the amount of words he speaks in public has decreased a lot.It's just that they still chatter softly to Ying Feng and the others.His appetite is far less than these Quebecs, and he is not even comparable to fellow spirits.So he is always the first to be full among all the people.

Leaning on Zhan Jiu, Ma Xiaotian burped: "Brother Jiu, is the weather going to change? Why do I feel uncomfortable all over, the air pressure is so low."

Zhan Jiu patted the back of Ma Xiaotian's hand: "You may be too tired. Otherwise, you can go to sleep in the tent first. Anyway, you will be fine tonight. You will go down to the mine tomorrow, and there will be more in the next few days." I'm busy, it's important to rest well."

Ma Xiaotian shook his head: "I don't want to lie down, I feel a little depressed. After you eat, let's look around and watch the previous video. There are no stones in the mine. I guess it's quite boring except digging stones."

Zhan Jiu smiled: "That is inevitable. So no one travels to the mining area. Since you want to take a walk around, you can. I will finish eating soon."

Ma Xiaotian picked up the chopsticks and put a few more slices of meat on Zhan Jiu's heating plate. "I'm not in a hurry, it's not dark yet. Don't worry about eating. I've been busy for so long, you should eat more."

When it comes to going for a walk around, not only Ma Xiaotian thinks about it, Ying Feng also thinks about it.Huo Congting also wanted to accompany him, but he would enter the mine tomorrow, and he had to arrange work with Qiao Lun and two prospectors.So it was cured and asked Mu Yuan and Wu Tao to follow, so that the five of them walked together, in fact, it was not too late to take a look around.

While walking and chatting, Ma Xiaotian's mood became worse and worse.He has been suppressing his emotions, always feeling very flustered.At this time, they had already entered the former entrance of the mining area, and the huge mine pit in front of them was really spectacular.This was the first time Ma Xiaotian stood in front of the jadeite mine. Even though the mine had been extinct, one could imagine the glory of the year just by looking at the area.

There are many stones under the feet, large and small, of various colors.But when they stood on the edge of the pit and looked at the bottom of the pit, they quickly realized why they felt something was wrong at first.

"Where's the water?" Ying Feng was the first to react.

At the bottom of the mine pit at this time, there are only a few puddles of water reflecting the light in the [-]-meter deep pool that was originally affected in the data. You can still see the aquatic animals and plants left by the pool for a long time, and the water marks are still there. Clearly visible, it can be seen that these waters should have existed not so long ago.

This abnormal situation directly made them feel uneasy or even fearful.The [-]-meter deep pool that took a century to travel disappeared in a short period of time. In addition to manpower, there is another possibility that the nearby underground has changed.No matter which one it is, they need to be more vigilant.Although the purpose of the former is unclear, I still think it anyway.If it is the latter, usually such a huge abnormal situation is accompanied by disasters!

Zhan Jiu immediately called Huo Congting. "Brother Ting, I don't know where the water in the mine was withdrawn. Now the bottom of the pit is exposed!"

Huo Congting was carefully checking the distribution map of the former mines in order to choose the most suitable point to explore and search. He did not expect to receive a call from Zhan Jiu at this time. "You mean the pool at the bottom of the pit is gone?"

Zhan Jiu replied: "That's right. And you can still see the traces of the water pool. It seems that the water has withdrawn not long ago."

"Wait a minute and don't hang up!" Then Huo Congting told Mei Ming and Mo Zhitian about the situation.

The two prospectors were much more sensitive to such matters than the others.Their first reaction was: "Get them back! Put all the tents away and find an open place. Most likely it's a sign of an earthquake!"

That's actually what worries everyone else the most.But when the big guys were packing up the tents and various items, due to the instinct of the animal genes in their bodies, everyone also had varying degrees of anxiety reactions. Half an hour later, the earth chirping sound appeared.

When they heard the ground chirping, the five of them, Ma Xiaotian and Zhan Jiu, had already run back.But at this time the sun had completely set, and when he looked up, he saw a strange light in the sky in the distance, and the big guy's hairs stood on end.

Put the vehicles into high-grade storage bags, and all the Kui people turned into form armor. Ma Xiaotian and Mu Yuan were carried by their respective partners on their backs, and everyone ran towards the open field at a very fast speed. .Although the earthquake does not necessarily cause the towering trees to collapse, an open place is always safer.

Ma Xiaotian experienced an earthquake for the first time, and when he could still feel the world spinning on Zhan Jiu's back, he was really afraid of death.

At this time, Zhan Jiu had turned back into a human form and hugged Ma Xiaotian.Some fruits, broken branches and even bird's nests on the tree are constantly falling down.It was impossible for him to let Ma Xiaotian get hit on his back.

Fortunately, the speed of the beasts of the Quebec people is very fast, and they are not too far away from that relatively open place.Just waited to run to the place, the earthquake had stopped.

Everyone changed back to human form, and their faces were all very ugly.Ma Xiaotian is undoubtedly the most serious symptom.As soon as Zhan Jiu put him on the ground, he wanted to vomit.This feeling of dizziness made him feel more uncomfortable than before, but the discomfort in his heart disappeared.

Jian Xiaotian helped himself to retch.Zhan Jiu hurriedly patted his back. "It's all right. It's over."

Ma Xiaotian shook his head.At this time, Ying Feng handed over a glass of water. "This is wobbly. Xiaotian also seems to have a certain premonition of danger. So his reaction will be stronger."

Ma Xiaotian finished the water, took a sip and spit it out. After rinsing his mouth several times, he finally swallowed some. "I feel better."

Zhan Jiu held Ma Xiaotian's hand, and the cold temperature of his daughter-in-law's little hand made him extremely worried. "If you are really uncomfortable, just lie down for a while."

Ma Xiaotian wanted to shake his head, but he was still dizzy, so he finally waved his hand: "I'd better stand for a while. What if there are aftershocks."

After about half an hour, everyone's mood calmed down.A light made the surrounding environment not so dark, but it didn't make much light.If it was just the dark jungle night, they wouldn't be afraid, but today's night made them feel a little more scared.No matter how capable a Quebec is, it is impossible to defeat the power of nature.

Bought Aotian and nestled in Zhan Jiu's arms, and after he got better, he kept his eyes closed.At this time, Zhan Jiu already had the intention to retire, not for anything else, but because Ma Xiaotian's current state is really not suitable for continuing.What's more, when the earthquake happened, what happened in the mining area is unknown. It is possible that the mine cave collapsed, the mine pit appeared abnormal again, or even the mine veins were distorted or even subsided due to the earthquake. "Brother Ting, Brother Qiao, do you think it's possible to continue?"

Huo Congting did not answer directly. For him, the business interests and academic value of this matter are the same.But Qiao Lun was different, he came here to find jade, to put it bluntly, it was for money.So he turned his gaze to Joron.

Qiao Lun understood everyone's meaning, but was also a little embarrassed. "It's not easy for me to make a judgment now. How about this, after tomorrow morning, our two teams will send two people to the mine to take a look, and the others will wait here for news."

Zhan Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Yes. But if Xiaotian is still so uncomfortable tomorrow morning, I will escort him back to the city for treatment."
