"It seems normal to be dark, but I didn't expect it to be so hard." Seeing this, Guan Heng waved to Bi Beiqi: "Hey, Xiao Nan Xiao Bei, you two come over and have a look. What's weird about this stone?"
"Huh?!" Bi Beiqi heard this and immediately grabbed his brother's arm and ran over: "Where, where?"
"Even the claws of the mountain hawk were broken." Guan Heng pointed at the boulder and said, "That's it."
"Oh my God." Binango had been looking at the nearby mineral veins just now. He had not noticed the stone in front of Guan Heng. When he saw it, he was stunned and whispered: "Copper mine?! Xu Xu Boss, come and take a look, this is an extremely rare thing."
Xu Bai had just hit the ore with the small copper hammer he carried with him, watching attentively and making an appraisal carefully. But when he heard Binango's words, he immediately let go in shock. The hammer hit his feet and he was confused: "What? You mean? Copper? Incredible."
The next moment, Xu Bai, who limped over to watch, immediately exclaimed: "It is indeed copper ore, but..."
Xu Bai, who had just shouted these words, suddenly turned pale, and said in a low voice: "This copper ore is a good thing, but it's a pity that we can't use it, alas."
Seeing that the expressions of several people around him were wrong, Guan Heng immediately said: "Hey, hey, don't sigh in a hurry. You have been talking for so long, and I haven't understood it yet."
Only then did Xu Bai wake up. He looked up at Guan Heng, then shook his head and said, "This is a very rare copper ore. The chance of it appearing in ordinary copper mines is very small. Use this thing to smelt it." The high-grade copper produced by melting and casting is much stronger than ordinary ancient copper ores, and after being polished and tempered, the copper has the characteristics of being slightly tougher than ordinary copper, making it more suitable for use as military equipment."
"But we can't handle such a large piece of copper ore."
Bi Beiqi smiled bitterly and said: "This thing weighs several thousand kilograms at least. We only brought a few bamboo baskets for collecting ore, which can't be loaded. Also, the copper ore can be used." The core of the ore is all inside, unless we can build a furnace here to smelt it, otherwise we can only watch helplessly as it grows moldy here."
"I see, it's true. The mountain hawk's claws are so sharp that they were broken. It's natural that you can't do anything with this copper ore." Guan Heng suddenly smiled as flashes of light flashed through his mind: " But I didn’t say I couldn’t do it.”
Hearing this, Xu Bai asked in astonishment: "What do you mean by this?" Guan Heng flicked the hilt of the sword on his shoulder: "Hey, hey, tell me, can my Hongyun Sword be able to destroy this copper ore?" Chopping and cutting into small pieces?”
"Yes." Several people shouted in unison: "The Hongyun Sword is extremely sharp and has been smeared with copper emerald liquid. Why didn't we think of using it to split the copper ore?"
"But whether it works or not, I haven't tried it." Guan Heng was a little unsure at this moment. He slowly pulled out the Hongyun Sword, and then said to everyone: "You all stand far away now, I want to chop down this copper mine. .”
"Hey, hey, hey!" Hearing his words, Xu Bai, the three of them, and the mountain turtle immediately took a few steps back.
"Whoa!"
Among the lightning and flint, the blade of the sword slanted across the surface of the copper ore boulder. Suddenly, a palm-sized fragment fell to the ground. Guan Heng poked it with the tip of the sword and immediately took the fragment in front of him to take a closer look. Shi Yang said in a loud voice: "It seems there is no problem. Come and see if there is any trace of copper ore slag in it."
The three people gathered around to take a closer look, and they all nodded and said: "Not bad, yes, it is indeed."
"Then I'm relieved." As soon as Guan Heng's words fell, the rainbow sword in his palm suddenly flew up and down, cold light appeared repeatedly, and there was only an endless sound of "click, click", and a large stone as tall as one person was instantly blown away. It was cut into several pieces and shattered on the ground with a "bang, clatter".
Guan Heng said at this time: "Is it small enough now? Why don't you pack it up quickly?"
"Hurry up, don't waste Guan Heng's efforts." Xu Bai immediately said to the Bi brothers: "Put them all into the basket, don't even leave any residue."
Bi Nange and Bi Beiqi hurriedly put the cut copper ore scattered on the ground into bamboo baskets. Guan Heng said with a smile: "Hey, remember to leave a piece for me, and let Chief Xu use it when the time comes." Use the materials to make a bronze box for my bow and sword."
"Don't worry, I have remembered this for you a long time ago and will never forget it." Xu Bai slapped his chest loudly: "You have taken great care of our brothers. This trivial matter of the bronze box of the bow and sword is not a problem at all. "
"That's right, even if Boss Xu and the clan leader forget, we two brothers will be responsible for reminding them." After hearing the words of the Bi family brothers and Xu Bai, Guan Heng slightly nodded: "Well, that's pretty much it. It's not in vain for me to do it for you. Process this copper ore."
"Chichichi-" At this moment, the mountain cat that was digging at the nearby rock wall with its sharp claws screamed. Guan Heng turned around and saw that the mountain cat had actually dug through a fault in front of it. .
"Hey, there seems to be a cave tunnel behind this fault..." Xu Bai walked over, dipped his index finger in some saliva and placed it at the entrance of the fault. He paused for a moment, and then immediately said: "There is a gentle breeze coming from the opposite side. Everyone, maybe this way can lead to the ground."
"Mountain Reel, go and make sure. If we can break through the passage in front, we can take a shortcut back." After hearing Guan Heng's words, the Sharp-billed Mountain Reel immediately nodded and slithered into the entrance of the fault.
More than ten breaths later, the chirping sound of the mountain hawk suddenly came over. It was obvious that it had penetrated the tunnel in front. Xu Bai and the Bi family brothers were overjoyed. They were carrying very precious copper ore, just because they wanted to The first time I rushed back to the village to show it to everyone.
"Guan Heng, let's go in front." After Xu Bai said that, he immediately lowered his head and got into the fault tunnel. The Bi family brothers followed closely behind. The three of them walked very fast, heading straight towards the direction where the Jianzui Mountain Reel was digging its hole.
When it was Guan Heng's turn to be the last one, he suddenly flicked his fingers and said, "It's time to come back, monkeys."
"Woooooooo -" In the blink of an eye, four wolf ghosts came back with the wind. Guan Heng saw that they had collected a lot of "pseudo-demon beads" like small balls, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart: "It seems that... The monster insects living underground nearby are in bad luck."
…
In a short time, Guan Heng had caught up with Xu Bai and the three people and the mountain turtle that was digging a hole. Everyone gradually felt that the air around them became fresher, and they knew that they were not far from the ground.
But at this moment, Guan Heng's ears suddenly moved: "Hey, what's the noise?"
"Whoosh - whoosh - whoosh - whoosh whoosh -" In an instant, the sound Guan Heng heard became louder and louder, and even Xu Bai and the Bi brothers could hear it clearly.
Guan Heng said in a low voice at this time: "Hey, you don't need to pay attention to this voice, just walk forward. I will take the rear." m.
