Chapter 1057 Gold Nugget
“We only have a quarter of the fuel left!”
The big truck traveled in bumps and did not return to the muddy ground for hunting mosasaurs until four days later area.
The alien mosasaur was captured, and the mosasaurs in this area were also scattered by Montes Arthur and others. Few mosasaurs survived in the mud area.
When Wang Li started to check the condition of the vehicle, Zhang Xuezhou started to check around the mud area.
Zhang Xuezhou's detection method is naturally through the release of treasure hunting techniques.
Ren Anran and Zhang Manqian were following and assisting, and the two of them also began to use this technique that could only be released within a radius of several meters.
If Zhang Xuezhou had not ensured that the treasure hunting technique was like this, the two of them would have really doubted that the treasure hunting technique and the tracing of negative objects were of the same level.
The mana was constantly being consumed, but the three of them did not find any 'treasure'.
Going around in a big circle, even Zuo Teng, who was peeking behind him, felt that Zhang Xuezhou was messing around.
"There seems to be no other beasts coming to recuperate in this big muddy land," Zuo Teng reminded.
"Not currently" Zhang Xuezhou responded.
"My grandfather once said that only areas with ferocious beasts can have resting places for such strange beasts. This kind of place should lack some possibilities," Zuo Teng said.
Zuo Teng didn't know that Zhang Xuezhou was really wandering around looking for a place to adapt to the environment.
For four consecutive days, they spent their time in the cargo box of a large truck, even camping at night in the truck. It was only today that they got out of the truck and walked around.
Looking at Zhang Xuezhou's somewhat frivolous steps, Zuo Teng felt that Zhang Xuezhou had a big problem with being acclimatized.
With this kind of physical condition, let alone hunting exotic animals, you may fall down even when walking.
This made it extremely difficult for Zuo Teng to understand the previous hunting gains of Zhang Xuezhou and others. He could only attribute these things to the fact that Wang Haoran was too strong to run rampant in the intermediate area.
But there are no ferocious beasts in the intermediate area, and there is a high probability that there is no place where Zhang Xuezhou wants to find a cheap place to cultivate and recuperate with exotic beasts.
“You don’t really want to find a vicious beast, do you?” Zhou Tianhao asked sarcastically.
It's hard to live under someone else's roof, but if Zhou Tianhao and others are allowed to rely on their legs to run around the Qinmeng area, it would be inhumane.
Even if they don't hunt or encounter the risk of the herd, it will take them nearly a month to walk back to Ludan Port from here.
According to Zuo Teng's judgment, he got on the big truck of Zhang Xuezhou and others, and everyone had no choice but to run along.
But if he wanted to go to the area where the ferocious beasts were located, Zhou Tianhao felt that he would rather walk for a month.
This is not because he is not brave enough, but because the risks in high-level areas are too great for him to bear.
Even the current intermediate area is a place he shouldn't be at the moment.
This kind of area no longer contains small exotic beasts, but may hide large alien beasts. Even if they are not alien beasts, encountering a group of ferocious beasts will be enough for them to eat a pot.
Zhou Tianhao looked around, and from time to time he took out the telescope for observation.
“At least three waves of hunting groups have come to this place recently,” Zhu Kuang said in a low voice: “Each hunting group enters the mud area in a different direction, and the footprints are very messy. They should have experienced more intense hunting. Competition!"
"I feel that there are no obvious signs of fighting," Changkong Shiguang said in a low voice: "On the contrary, there seemed to be more violent fighting on the muddy ground!"
"I heard that this is the area where Zhang Xuezhou and his team hunted mosasaurs," Ding Hao said loudly.
A few people followed behind and whispered. When Ding Hao interrupted, everyone could no longer talk.
“Go and take a look in the mud!”
Zhang Xuezhou then looked at everyone.
He didn't mind Ding Hao and others' gossip, but Ding Hao also reminded him, who was a little dizzy.
"Brothers are really good at doing dirty work, right?"
Zhang Xuezhou looked back and asked Ding Hao and others behind him, which made Ding Hao nod repeatedly.
"We can definitely work," Ding Hao assured, patting his chest.
"Then go get all the shovels from the truck and let's dig the ground," Zhang Xuezhou said.
“Dig?”
Ding Hao was slightly startled. But he didn't ask too much and ran back to get the shovel.
Zhang Xuezhou walked towards the area where Wang Haoran was patrolling the mud.
The water in this muddy area is nearly two to three meters deep. The depth of the silt is difficult to calculate.
Zhang Xuezhou thought about how deeply the treasure hunting technique could detect underground locations, and thought he could dig a little deeper.
The mud is not like other areas. The beasts in other areas may have completed their recuperation on the ground, while the mosasaurs lurked in the mud.
Zhang Xuezhou thought clearly, then tied foam boards to the soles of his shoes, and stepped into the mud area with one foot deep and one shallow.
After only ten minutes of traveling, he had already found the place where Wang Haoran and Baili Huai'an fought the Mosasaurus.
“Here, let’s dig the ground!”
The area was filled with mud, but it was slowly filled in due to the fluidity of the mud.
Zhang Xuezhou looked at the muddy ground and thought about the size of the mosasaur. He felt that a place like this would have to be dug down three to five meters.
“Really digging?”
Zuo Teng shrugged unnaturally and took the shovel handed over by Ding Hao.
He pried it down with a shovel and lifted up a lot of mud and dirty water. He felt that Zhang Xuezhou had really brought everyone to a good place to do dirty work.
But he will not go back on his words.
After digging quickly, Zhang Xuezhou watched closely.
“Dig deeper!”
“How deep?”
“One or two people tall!”
Zhang Xuezhou gestured. It indicates that the width does not matter, only the longitudinal depth is required.
His treasure hunting skills can explore several meters horizontally. As long as there are more holes in the ground, he can explore the muddy ground where the strange beast Mosasaurus is. He can also roughly check whether there is something hidden that can guide the Mosasaurus to heal its injuries.
“Do you suspect there is something in the mud?” Wang Haoran asked curiously as he approached.
"I think we can dig it out!" Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
“Even if a mine is dug out of the Qinmeng underground, it’s not worth it.” Wang Haoran said: “All natural things here lack the conditions for mining, even gold...”
"There seems to be gold underneath!"
Before Wang Haoran finished speaking, Ding Hao, who kept digging into the hole, shouted.
He stepped into a mud pit that was as deep as one person. When he pried the shovel, he had already pried up some river sand and rocks, and there were also flickering golden objects mixed in.
Ding Hao reached out and grabbed it, then rinsed it in the muddy water, only to see an irregular dendritic collection of gold nuggets revealed.
"This thing weighs at least one kilogram. We call it nugget gold here. This kind of gold is of high purity and should be worth more than 200,000 yuan," Ding Hao said.
"If you say that, my motivation to work has increased." Zhou Tianhao said happily: "Now I suddenly like shoveling mud!"
"This place should have been a river before, but it was accumulated by silt. It is indeed possible to wash out this kind of gold nugget in the river, but the probability is very low." Changkong Xiaoguang said: "The probability of finding similar gold nuggets in the same place is almost Zero!”
“It’s not zero!”
Zuo Teng shoveled several times and pulled out a natural gold nugget of about one kilogram from the pile of sand under his feet. .
Looking at the natural gold nuggets dug out one after another, he felt that people like Zhang Xuezhou were terribly lucky.
“You know there is gold underneath through such thick mud?”
Wang Haoran looked puzzled.
He just felt that it was completely unreasonable to collect natural gold nuggets after collecting exotic animals in the same place.
However, the value of two kilograms of natural gold is high to ordinary people, but to them it is nothing, it is just similar to the value of some injured beasts.
But as the digging continued, even Wang Haoran gradually changed his expression.
