On the fields in the northwest of Firing Dragon Mountain Range, a river snaked its way forward, like a crawling dragon.
This river originated from the depths of the mountain range. After extending for several thousand miles, it converged into a ma.s.sive lake. However, the river and lake had dried up long ago. On the exposed riverbed, all kinds of big and small stones could be seen, and the lake itself had turned into sand.
"Whoos.h.!.+" "Whiz …"
Weak sounds were heard, like threads dragging them through the air, 20 of them were like lightning, flying along the riverbed, they were the 50 Clan Guardian Group s from Wind Howling City.
Li Tian"en and Hu Kai were at the front, with Tang Huan following closely behind. Behind them were Chen You, Luo Xingkong, Tong Ge and the other cultivators at the peak of Heavenly Domain.
In order for the team members to catch up, Li Tian"en, Hu Kai, and Tang Huan did not use their full strength.
But even so, under the high-speed rush, Li Tian"en and Hu Kai were like wild horses that had escaped the reins, their movements were rather rough, yet Tang Huan had always been strolling leisurely, not only was his speed not slow, he even looked kind and pleasing to the eye. When the people behind looked at Tang Huan, their eyes were filled with admiration.
The crowd did not utter a word as they moved quickly. Unknowingly, it was already noon.
Ever since the lake and river dried up a hundred years ago, word had been spreading, saying that there were Gem Vein in this area.
No one had ever seen that mine before.
However, there were indeed many people who found a large number of precious gems in the river and in the lake. Because of this, not only Tiger Clan s who were closest to the rivers and lakes, but even Dragon Clan s from the east and south of the Firing Dragon Mountain Range s would frequently send cultivators over.
Initially, the people who came here to investigate were the most powerful figures of the various clans, but they didn"t discover anything. Thus, in recent years, the people who came here were all young cultivators.
For example, the Tiger Clan would always issue a quest after obtaining new information about the Gem Vein, so that he could investigate.
For Squad 50 to receive this mission this time, it was purely luck.
The cultivator who reported the news about the mine to Hu Kai was his cousin Hu Kai. On the same day, he revealed the situation to Hu Kai, who immediately found Hu Yue. Sure enough, when the two rushed to the Clan Guardians"s Main Hall, Hu Yue was prepared to post the quest of finding the mines.
If they were just one more step, most likely many teams would rush to complete this quest.
"It should be here!"
Suddenly, Li Tian"en who was at the front stopped in his tracks, and took out a small map from his bosom. After comparing it with the terrain of this area, he revealed a smile on his face.
The terrain of this area was quite strange.
After the river, which spanned tens of kilometers, arrived at this place, it was suddenly split open in the middle by a narrow mountain range that was thousands of meters wide. It continued to zigzag forward for hundreds of kilometers before converging once more. A few days ago, a cultivator from the Wind Howling City found dozens of gems in this area.
"Brother Li, why don"t we all split up?" Tang Huan swept his gaze once around, and said with a smile, "I will be in a team with Chen You, you and Big Brother Hu (Tiger) will each take one person, and the other four or five people will be in a group. Six groups will search around at the same time, and we"ll be able to search this area faster."
"Alright, we"ll follow what Brother Chen Huan said!" Li Tian"en clapped his hands and laughed.
"..."
After a while, the six groups of Clan Guardians began to move at the same time. Two groups of Clan Guardians s went to the left, two groups to the back, and two groups of Clan Guardians s entered the small mountain range in the middle of the river.
Tang Huan and Chen You were at the left side of the river, and the two of them were following the river to the left.
"Buzz!"
After walking forward another few thousand meters, the flying shuttle had already rushed out from within Tang Huan"s embrace as it rapidly expanded, and let out an excited rumbling sound.
In the next moment, a blue shadow flashed, and the Little Thing appeared from within the s.p.a.ce Aircraft.
"Yiya!" "Yiya …"
After being stunned for a moment, the Little Thing immediately regained its senses, and started to cry out repeatedly in surprise. The four pairs of small wings flapped continuously, and then flew up dozens of meters into the sky, rolling and tumbling non-stop, before suddenly diving down and jumping crazily. It stayed inside the s.p.a.ce Aircraft all alone for a long time, eating, sleeping and eating, almost making it go crazy.
"I knew it. You proposed that everyone split up to search for the mine in order to release this little guy." Seeing that, Chen You could not help but smile.
"After being trapped inside for so long, it"s time for this little fellow to come out and take a breather."
Looking at the cheerful figure of the Little Thing, Tang Huan revealed a doting look in his eyes. "With this little fellow here, even if I can"t find the mines, I"ll be able to find a large number of gems."
Tang Huan had already understood that this river and this lake contained a myriad of gems, but there was only one that appeared the most, and that was the "Neon Gem".
In Forging G.o.d Great World, the cla.s.sification of gems was slightly different from that of small dimensions.
The gems of this small world were divided into five ranks: Low, Middle, High, Heaven, and Saint. In addition, there were G.o.d Tier gems above Forging G.o.d Great World and Saint Tier gems.
However, Divine Level Stone s were divided into five ranks, and there were extremely few naturally occurring G.o.d Tier gems. The majority of them were synthesized through mysterious means.
Because of this, in the Forging G.o.d Great World, other than the Weapon Refiner who was respected as usual, there was also another type of existence that had extremely high status, and that was the Gem Synthetic Master. As to how the G.o.d Tier Jewels were synthesized, Tang Huan didn"t know for the time being. If there was a chance in the future, he could try to find out more about it.
Although the grade of the gems here wasn"t much different from that of a small world, the types of gems here were by no means comparable to those of a small world.
There were more than a thousand kinds of Saint Grade Gem among the gems that had been explored so far. That "Neon Gem" was also a Saint Grade Gem, and it was the highest quality Saint Grade Gem.
In the Wind Howling City, a single "Neon Gem" was worth forty "Initial Spirit Heavenly Crystal", and they were so priceless that there was no market for them.
If Clan Guardians found "Neon Gem" and turned them in, not only would they get forty "Initial Spirit Heavenly Crystal" for each of them, their subordinate Clan Guardian Group would even get a reward of ten thousand contribution points. The same was true for the other gems. Li Tian"en and the others did not hold much hope for the mines, they only wanted to find a few more gems.
"It seems like our trip here will not be in vain." Chen You was all smiles, and a trace of antic.i.p.ation appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"Of course."
Tang Huan laughed, then waved his hand at the Little Thing, saying, "Little guy, it"s time for us to work, your future rations will all be here."
"Yiya …" The Little Thing flapped its little wings and quickly landed on Tang Huan"s shoulder. It was extremely happy.
"Let"s go!"
Tang Huan patted the Little Thing"s head and put it away.
At almost the same time, the horns on Little Thing"s head started to reveal an extremely agile golden l.u.s.ter. Its pair of big eyes were slightly closed, its small body was motionless, as though it was extremely focused.
