Two hours later, Huang Ming and Shen Hu returned to the camp first, and not long after, Lao Su and Lao Li also came back.
There was still some distance from the camp, and Lao Su shouted at Huang Ming and Shen Hu from a distance:
"Let's go, there's no need to look for it. The meteorite here has been found. We're too late."
Shen Hu didn't hear clearly and asked loudly.
"What? Did you find it? No way."
"We found something. The meteorite has been picked up by someone."
Lao Su and Lao Li returned to the camp.
"It was picked up? What happened? How did you know?"
Shen Hu was stunned immediately.
"We just met a few netizens who were also looking for meteorites. That's what they said."
Lao Li added.
"Netizens? Do you believe what the netizens say? What if they want to get rid of you and find it themselves?"
Shen Hu didn't believe it. He finally got here, but why was he beaten by others?
"Nonsense, do you think Lao Li and I are stupid? We didn't believe it at first, but later we went to see the scene where the meteorite was picked up, and Lao Li and I believed it. The meteorite was really taken away." .
Lao Su looked disappointed and took off his glasses and wiped them.
"No, what's going on? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly."
Huang Ming was also a little surprised.
"Lao Li and I had been walking for probably more than two hours when we found a few tents on a hill. We went over to take a look. They were a group of traveling friends from out of town. They also saw the news and came looking for meteorites. It’s been three days.”
When Lao Su said this, he opened the thermos kettle he carried with him and took a sip.
"They also have our meteorite impact point map downloaded from the Internet, and they also brought a drone. They said they had used the drone to search all the impact coverage areas on the map."
"They found two people digging nearby in the video taken by the drone and rushed over. But by the time they got here, the meteorite had already been dug up by those two people. Alas..."
"Huh? Was he really poached?"
Huang Ming didn't believe it and asked again:
"Then how can they be sure that those two people are digging for meteorites? What if they are farming there, harvesting radishes, digging potatoes or something like that?"
"What the hell are you digging for potatoes? Are your potatoes going to be planted in no man's land?"
Old Su rolled his eyes at Huang Ming.
"Lao Li and I visited that place. It was a small earth bag. In front of the earth bag there was a ditch of fresh soil several meters long. The grass on both sides of the ditch showed traces of being burned by fire."
"But that little earth bag had been dug tilted into a large pit about two to three meters in diameter. There was also a smell of being burned in the pit."
"Yes, those people were unwilling at first. They dug in the pit again, but found nothing, so they were sure that the meteorites here had been dug away."
Lao Li added.
"Ah, it seems we are out of luck. What should we do? Are we still looking for it?"
Shen Hu was a little discouraged.
"Nonsense, we must look for it. There is not just one meteorite. Let's go to the next place quickly. The people we met have already gone. We have to hurry up."
"Let me tell you, the people who are looking for meteorites this time are all experts. Their equipment is much better than ours. We can't lag any further."
Lao Su was very anxious.
"Then let's go to the next place quickly. Maybe there are three or four meteorites, and I don't believe we can't find even one. Let's go, let's go!"
Shen Hu also felt a hint of urgency and wanted to leave immediately.
"What the hell, what time is it now? Let's go tomorrow. Hey, Lao Su, have those people said who the two people who dug up the meteorites are? Or is there anything special about those two people?"
Huang Ming asked again.
"We asked, and those people also found it strange. They said that the two men did not seem to be carrying any equipment in the video, but they seemed to have known where the meteorite was and walked over to dig directly."
"Just walk over and dig directly?"
Huang Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt a bad feeling.
"Yes, they also said that those two people didn't seem to be locals, which was a bit strange."
Lao Li added.
"Oh, yes, yes, that group of people said that those two people are definitely not locals, let alone travel friends. They said that those two people seemed to be bald men wearing animal skins."
Lao Su also remembered what Lao Li said.
"Shirtless and bald wearing animal skins? Hiss...".
Huang Ming took a breath of cold air.
This is the uninhabited land of Shangri-La, with an average altitude of 3,300 meters, and the maximum temperature difference between day and night can reach more than 30 degrees.
Not to mention being shirtless and wearing animal skins, even well-equipped professional explorers can catch a cold and get sick accidentally.
It seemed that my hunch was correct. The two people who dug up the meteorites were most likely immortal cultivators.
But why do immortal cultivators come looking for meteorites? Do meteorites really contain spiritual materials from heaven and earth that can be used to refine magic weapons?
Huang Ming couldn't figure out the reason for a while, but he began to worry secretly.
What should we do if we really meet a cultivator? After all, Shen Hu, Lao Su and Lao Li are all ordinary people.
After thinking for a while, Huang Ming looked at everyone.
"Let me tell you, many people are looking for meteorites now. If the meteorites are really valuable, I am afraid it will be dangerous. I wonder if there will be murders and treasure grabbing?".
"Killing people to seize treasures? Your wording is too exaggerated. No matter how valuable a meteorite is, it is not as valuable as a life. If the meteorite is really picked up by others, I will not rob it."
Shen Hu was the first to express his stance.
"Then what if a few of us pick it up and other people come to snatch it?"
It was not Huang Ming who asked this question, but Lao Su who was standing next to Shen Hu.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? If we pick it up first, the meteorite will be ours. Anyone who wants to snatch it will have to fight hard. We don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it. Do you need to ask?"
"Then didn't you say that life is more important than meteorites? What if we can't defeat them? Hey, don't look at me like this. I'm just asking. I don't know if I can pick it up."
Seeing Shen Hu's unhappy face, Lao Su quickly added.
"Okay, okay, I just want to remind everyone to rest and be careful tomorrow."
Huang Ming couldn't say anything, so everyone took a rest.
Early the next morning, everyone packed up their tents and headed towards the second meteorite impact point marked on the map.
Because they met other meteorite searchers yesterday, everyone speeded up their progress intentionally or unintentionally. They were basically speechless along the way. Everyone kept working hard towards the marked point.
The second marking point is actually not far from the first marking point, the straight-line distance is only more than ten kilometers.
However, because there were no roads, everyone rushed all the way and arrived at this area at noon.
