Chapter 173 The Origin of Gemstones
Staring blankly at the back of the NPC who looked as if nothing had happened, Xingyu couldn't help but shout out.
"Fuck, brothers! There's a red-named monster!"
Hearing the shouting from behind, Lenny was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he couldn't understand what was going on.
I was discovered? But what did he mean by shouting?
He could understand every word of that sentence, but when they were combined together, he couldn't understand it at all.
But the next moment, the changes in the environment around him made Lenny feel like he was falling into an ice cave.
When the refugee behind shouted that strange sentence, the refugees who were chatting with passers-by, dancing, passing by, and crawling on the ground nearby suddenly stopped moving.
Then, they all turned their heads and looked around a little. Hundreds of eyes on the whole street focused on him -
The young pickpocket was very familiar with the passion and greed in those eyes.
When his fellow villains saw the gold coins, the desire in their eyes was just like that.
He just didn't understand why these refugees would look at him in this way.
Lenny, a pickpocket, died at the age of nineteen.

….….
An unknown island in the depths of the foggy sea, the port town [Lavanlais]
On the hill in the center of the town, Avis took Jom slowly up the gray-white rocky mountain path.
It was unknown who built the path, but for countless years, it had been trampled on by people going up and down the mountain and became extremely stable.
The surroundings were covered with rich vegetation, and small unknown white wild flowers bloomed in the cracks of the gravel beside the road, exuding a faint and faint fragrance.
The higher he went, the more Avis could feel that the strange calm force field in the environment gradually began to increase in strength, as if he was approaching some source.
The Temple of Rai is located on the top of the hill. From the outside, it is a low rectangular building made of pale white granite, with huge rock columns and corridors, and murals with relief patterns.
On the top of the building are multiple spires of different sizes, like overlapping pyramids, complex and strange.
Under the pale sky of the island, the mica flakes in the granite shine with soft highlights, adding a touch of wonderful splendor to this ancient temple.
In the center of the temple is a huge granite statue that is nearly ten meters high and almost supports the ceiling of the temple.
His upper body presents a female figure, but with a long snake-like tail.
That is the incarnation of the god worshipped by the people of the island, the moon god [Rai] in the world.
Anvis can clearly feel that a pure and gentle force field is spreading around with the statue itself as the center.
However, the "Old Secret Book" did not respond, which means that this statue is not the target he needs.
After leaving the Rai Temple on the top of the mountain, Anvis went to the town and looked for the team that was preparing to go into the mountain to collect gems according to the bartender's previous description.
With the help of Jom, Avis soon found the temporary leader of this collection team in a large house with a courtyard on the east side of the town.
The leader was an energetic old explorer with gray hair and sharp blue-gray eyes.
At the same time, he was one of the only two fifth-level explorers in the town that Jom had previously discovered.
When Avis came to the door, he was in his yard, dealing with supplies and equipment for this trip.
What surprised Avis a little was that the brown-haired young man disguised as Claire was also here and was helping the old explorer.
"Hello, I'm Hill, can I take up a little of your time?"
Avis calmly withdrew his eyes from Claire and cast his eyes on the old explorer who turned his head and looked over.
"Sorry, I think you should have seen that we are very busy now."
With the help of Claire, the old explorer pulled one end of a rope and pulled it hard to tie up a bulging package. After that, he took a breath and stood up straight.
"If you also want to go with us to collect gems, please come here at six o'clock the day after tomorrow morning."
"No, I have my own arrangements."
Anvis shook his head gently, staring at the old explorer's blue-gray eyes, his expression unchanged.
"Can you tell me the specific information about the gem mine on this island?"
"Of course, for this information, I can pay a corresponding price."
Glancing at the various "not very advanced" equipment in the yard, Anvis looked at the old explorer who was gradually showing impatience and put forward his own price.
"For example... a set of portable magic decomposition and collection equipment, how about it?"
"Ha! Very good, I think this is fair enough!"
Hearing this, the old explorer immediately showed a hearty smile, the impatience on his face disappeared, and he pushed the equipment on hand aside and sat on the package beside him.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Baigson, an explorer."
"There are many deep cracks in the mountains in the north of the island. That's where the gems come from."
"Explore deep underground from those cracks. If you're lucky enough, you can find gem veins that flash beautiful purple fluorescence."
"Of course, it's very hard and very fragile. It must be collected with special mining tools. It must not be subjected to excessive vibration during mining, otherwise it will break into a pile of waste slag and become worthless."
As he spoke, he poured himself a glass of water and took a sip.
"You are not the first stranger to ask me for this information, Hill."
"But in return for your willingness to provide me with advanced mining equipment, I can tell you a special message alone."
Glancing at Claire who was about to leave next to him, Bergson spoke again and asked her to stay where she was.
"You don't have to avoid it, Karl, I originally planned to tell you about that."
“When I was young, I used my passion to go deep into the mountains of the island alone and explore the depths of the earth.
In fact, under a certain depth of thick earth, the strength of the island's curse will be greatly reduced, and as the depth decreases, it will eventually become almost completely disappear! "
"It was during that expedition that I accidentally broke into a mysterious crystal cave. There, the entire cave was filled with gem crystals the size of a human head! There was even a wall made entirely of pure gems!"
As he spoke, the old explorer couldn't help but squint his eyes, as if he could still see the brilliant brilliance of those huge gems.
“I was completely stunned by the scene, and then I was ecstatic.
But unfortunately, the excessive density of gems has kept the entire cave in a high-demon environment for a long time, and natural spirits have been generated to protect the gems——"
“When I entered the cave, the sound of footsteps awakened the crystal spirit sleeping in the cave.
When they came towards me like a whirlwind of sparkling stardust, the only thing I could do was to grab a gem and activate the only teleportation scroll that could save my life. "
