Chapter 698: The Hollow Mine

Although Xie Yan had to go to work, the mines in the deciduous forest must be dug. Because he had a lot of spiritual stones in his hand, Tang Ranran was not in a hurry.

She planned to wait until the mines in Langfeng Valley were completed and the mines there were officially closed before starting the mining work in the deciduous forest.

After the discussion, Tang Ranran said goodbye and returned to his room.

The next day, the same four-person exploration team set off for the Changhe River Basin.

Xie Yan set off for Dongzhou Continent in four days, so Tang Ranran made the best use of everything and gave full play to the role of Xie Xingyun's space system.

The space shuttle then reached the Yangtze River Basin.

At Tang Ranran's request, the group first went to the sand quarry.

In less than two months, the person in charge of the sand quarry collected thousands of stones similar to the spirit stones from the waste rocks.

Tang Ranran inspected the goods and found that only 50% were spiritual stones.

And the quality is not that good, almost all are low-grade spiritual stones, there are only a few pieces of medium-grade ones, and none of top-grade and top-grade ones are available.

After receiving the spirit stones, Tang Ranran was not stingy and directly gave 5 space buckles filled with fruits and vegetables, worth about 100 billion.

After completing the transaction, from the sand quarry to the upper reaches of the long river, Tang Ranran conducted spiritual detection along the way. Every 50 meters, he asked Li Zheng to take Zuo Zhou to explore underground.

I searched the ground on both sides of the river all the way up. On the first day, I didn't find the spirit stone. Instead, I found a large earth-burrowing beast of unknown level.

Tang Ranran made a simple test and assessed the strength of someone above S level and below SS level.

Because Zuo Zhou was a pure support, without mecha weapons, he was just a scumbag, so Tang Ranran handed it over to Li Zheng and let him practice his skills.

Although he is an SSS-level superpower user, Li Zheng's actual combat experience with superpowers is really pitiful. Facing the big beast, the battle seemed very messy at first, but as he fought, he found the rhythm of the battle.

Moreover, when faced with earth-burrowing beasts, earth-type superpowers possess a kind of natural suppression.

In the end, Li Zheng successfully KOed the burrowing beast.

In addition to the burrowing beasts, they also discovered several unknown insect communities underground. Tang Ranran briefly studied them and found nothing special, so she ignored them.

Xie Xingyun declared the relevant information in detail and caught several samples, enriching the planet's biobank.

The group of people just walked and stopped, and when the sun went down, they set up camp on the spot.

Working in pairs in pairs at night.

The next day, continue exploring.

On this day, 8 kilometers upstream from the sand quarry, Tang Ranran discovered a large hole in the ground.

It didn't look like a natural cave, more like it was hollowed out by something. However, Tang Ranran carefully explored the surrounding area and could not find a large population of insects similar to 'termites'.

this……

Go down and have a look!

There is space and it is very easy to get down.

Led by Xie Xingyun, the four of them arrived at the large underground cave with a quick glance.

It was a very large cavity, estimated to be hundreds of thousands of cubic meters.

With a glance, a guess quickly popped up in Tang Ranran's mind: rock dragon!

"Zuozhou, look around!"

Slightly nervous, Tang Ranran's heart was pounding.

"yes!"

Zuo Zhou immediately activated his superpower, and within half a minute, he said, "Boss, there are energy stones here!"

really!

It was eaten by the rock dragon!

After careful exploration with his spiritual consciousness, Tang Ranran searched and searched, but still could not find the location of the rock dragon.

"You two cooperate, take a look first, and roughly judge the quantity of this mine." Although the rock dragon was not found and it was most likely not nearby, Tang Ranran still reminded carefully, "If you encounter any situation, call for help immediately and Retreat, I suspect there is a big beast underground."

"yes."

"yes."

Zuo Zhou and Li Zheng took action immediately and started mineral exploration again.

Tang Ranran observed the large cave, which looked like a circle as a whole. After she walked around in a circle and felt the size of the cave, she just felt distressed.

Such a big hole!

I don’t know how much this rock dragon has eaten!

The bottom line is 100,000 spiritual stones!

Tang Ranran had some vague guesses.

The rock dragon ate the spirit stone mine, and then pooped in the long river. The undigested spirit stones in the feces washed all the way along the current, and then reached the quarry below.

I have to say that this guess is quite reasonable.

After feeling distressed, Tang Ranran thought of a very serious question.

According to common sense, rock dragons will not be too far away from food.

With her careless spiritual exploration, she realized that there was an intruder in her territory. This rock dragon should have jumped out!

Could it be that this mine has been eaten up and this rock dragon has left long ago?

No way! !

Three hours later, Zuo Zhou confirmed Tang Ranran's speculation.

"Boss, the distribution of energy stones here is extremely sparse. I have checked all around. The place with the highest distribution density only has 2 or 3 energy stones in one cubic meter. The distribution density is small, only 1 in ten cubic meters. Energy stones, the entire surrounding area, according to preliminary estimates, is only about 20,000 at most..." After reporting the situation, Zuo Zhou straightforwardly stated his suggestion, "Boss, the number of energy stones here is too small, and the distribution is too small. The density is too thin, so it’s a bit of a loss for mining.”

"I see."

Tang Ranran felt heavy.

A bolt from the blue!

That damn rock dragon ate the center of the vein, and left behind these scraps that it despised!

The beast got there first.

Tang Ranran was just sad and upset.

After being depressed for a while, Tang Ranran adjusted himself and thought that this mine was not a problem!

Yes, there are endless mines to come!

After self-enlightenment, Tang Ranran ordered, "Xingyun, record it."

"Yes, Chief, I have recorded the location!"

"Take more photos as information. I am sure that this is left by a super-powerful beast. This beast feeds on special stone mines..." Tang Ranran seriously recounted the situation of Su Delin's rock dragon, and then concluded, "So, it should be at least SSS level."

"Psychic beast, SSS level?" Xie Xingyun smacked his lips. He knew that there were super-powerful beasts hidden in the deep mountains and forests of the planet, but he didn't expect that he would run into one!

Oh, he didn't run into one, but found some clues to its whereabouts.

"Do you know Fu Jingyuan?"

"No." Xie Xingyun shook his head honestly, "But I've heard of him."

"Then you should know his special ability, right? Are there any people with similar abilities on this planet who can investigate and track him?"

"There must be people with abilities who can track down people, but I'm not sure if I can track them down. Chief, do you want to..." Xie Xingyun stared at Tang Ranran with shining eyes. Although Chief Tang grows vegetables every day like an assistant, it is rumored that Chief Tang's combat power is also at the ceiling level! Is he lucky enough to see Chief Tang fight?

"Well, if we can track it down, Xie Yan and I will join forces to kill it."

Tang Ranran kills every borer beast like a rock dragon!

Of course, it would be even better if this rock dragon found a new mine.
