The ground trembled slightly, shaking the snow on the tree branches and falling down.
In the vast mountain forest, snow powder is like dry ice in a fire extinguisher, covering the entire mountain forest.
"Bah, bah, bah, this shitty place is here again, Lao Yu, how many times has this happened this month?"
In the mountain forest, a group of well-dressed strong men were walking and exploring among the mountains and forests.
The man named Lao Yu also spat out the snow powder in his mouth and said unluckily: "This is the third time, mother, what a lousy place, the earth dragon turns over more times than I turn over at night!"
His words made more than a hundred people around laugh.
Enjoying hardship is one of the few joys this gang has.
It has been more than three months since they were sent to this overseas island last year. They are all professional prospectors and have found mineral veins one after another for Xianbei and Wuhuan.
Now that they are here, their mission is to find the silver mine that their Lord mentioned.
Search the mountains and forests, visit the rivers.
Now they have a clear idea of the direction of the terrain. As long as the snow melts, they can use the map to analyze the locations that may contain minerals.
Then they will be able to find the silver mine that your Majesty ordered them to find.
I heard it's a huge silver mine.
Moreover, your Majesty has said that as long as a silver mine is found, each of their thirty-person prospecting team can get a thousand white dragons. It is necessary to know that one hundred gold coins can be exchanged for one white dragon. These thousand white dragons That works out to 100,000 yuan.
According to Wuhuan's seven cents per catty of fat, this can buy tens of thousands of catties of fat, which can ensure food and clothing for one or two generations.
Therefore, everyone in the prospecting team is very concerned about this silver mine, otherwise they would not have come out to record it in this snowy day.
They also brought a team of marines to accompany them.
"Let's go, this last bit of drawing is done, you can go back."
The earthquake didn't last long, it was just a small tremor. The person who spoke before said something, opened the leather bag on his waist and put the map in.
"We can go back now, it's so cold today."
One of the soldiers rubbed his hands, breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly put on his gloves.
"Haha, thank you for your hard work, brothers. When you return to Wuhuan, I will treat you to a drink."
The leader of the prospecting team smiled and thanked.
If it weren't for the help of the navy brothers to protect them, they really wouldn't dare to run around. There are also people on this island. Although they are short and have black teeth, there are quite a lot of them.
And judging from the several villages that were captured by the navy, these people also farmed, made pottery, and made bronze.
But now, those people are locked up in concentration camps and have become slaves.
Hearing what this man said, the soldiers also smiled and thanked: "Then I'll thank Captain Li first. I won't come back to Wuhuan until I'm drunk."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Everyone was laughing and preparing to go back.
On the way down the mountain.
Everyone staggered.
Suddenly, several hasty pig sounds broke the calm.
With a rumble, more than a dozen sturdy black-skinned wild boars were running through the heavy snow in the middle of winter.
"alert!"
The Marines were chanting.
The soldiers instantly surrounded the thirty prospecting team members in a semicircle.
Then the crossbow was buckled, and boom——
Dozens of crossbow arrows flew towards the charging wild boar.
These wild boars may have been frightened by the previous earthquake. You must know that groups of wild boars have a bad temper, which is why this scene happened now.
Wild boars are not easy to deal with, especially in groups.
The layer of dried soil and resin on these wild boars is extremely thick, and it would be difficult for the crossbow arrows to hurt them unless they hit their nostrils and eye sockets directly.
The navy team saw this and hurriedly made gestures.
Hundreds of people moved to one side in tacit agreement.
In this icy and snowy environment, it’s hard to tell if you’ll be injured in a fight, so it’s better to let these pigs go first.
It turns out that herds of wild boars can be really violent.
Seeing this group of people move out of the way, they ignored them and continued to move towards the crowd.
Yes, now I have to fight even if I don’t fight.
"The two crossbow arrows continue, others, prepare short spears!"
The navy team saw that they couldn't hide anymore, so they might as well fight.
"We're here to help!"
The members of the prospecting team saw the navy's actions and spontaneously offered to help. They also traveled through mountains and rivers for a long time, and they all had some martial arts skills. In this day and age, no one has a knife when walking outside.
Putting on a posture, hundreds of people spread out.
Crossbows, swords, and short spears were all aimed at the charging wild boar.
"war!"
Following the roar of the Marine Corps, the group immediately launched an attack on the wild boars.
Hum hum hum hum.
There was a commotion.
Fortunately, it was the middle of winter, and everyone was wearing thick and thick clothes. After all, wild boars are just wild beasts. Starting from Homo sapiens, there are countless wild beasts on the earth that have been extinct at the hands of humans.
Now it's just a little troublesome at best.
After a big battle, except for four or five unlucky guys who were unable to move flexibly because of their thick clothes, no one else was injured.
As for the wild boars, after a few fell down, the rest fled in panic.
"It's not bad. It just so happens that I almost vomit after eating fish during this period. It would be nice to add some flavor."
The navy team was laughing looking at a few wild boar carcasses on the ground. Everyone else had the same idea. Not only were the ground dragons turning over frequently in this shabby place, but there were also very few types of food that could be eaten. Not in the past few months. Pasta with fish is fish with pasta.
"Hey, head, look over there!"
Everyone was laughing, and a few injured people sitting on the ground who were sprained yelled and pointed at a hole exposed due to the vibration.
Because of the angle, the sunlight shines directly close to the inside of the cave entrance, refracting light like stars.
Everyone heard this and went away.
The eyes of the people in the prospecting team suddenly lit up, and they quickly picked up their things and ran over there. Captain Li, the captain of the prospecting team, even shouted while running.
"It could be, it could be!"
"Collect samples and record the location, quickly!"
There was no place to be found after breaking through iron shoes, and it took no effort to get there. At this time, the people in the prospecting team were still resentful of the wild boar that appeared earlier. Now they wanted to pick up the pig's head and kiss it hard.
This is not a wild boar, this is one hundred thousand dollars.
The prospecting team carefully explored the area around the cave entrance, and then entered after finding that there was no problem. The cave entrance was so short that it was impossible for a person to get in while standing. Captain Li immediately took off all his clothes and asked others to guard outside. Okay, then I took a swig of the alcohol I brought with me, and got in with my pickaxe.
Clang clang clang.
There was a knocking sound in the cave, and after about four or five minutes, Captain Li climbed out of the cave, trembling.
"Clothes, quick!"
Everyone hurriedly put on Captain Li's clothes, and then everyone followed suit like a relay.
For a while, there was a constant clanging sound in the cave.
About half an hour.
A prospecting team of thirty people took turns going in twice and took out more than a hundred kilograms of mineral samples.
"Captain Yang, is there any glutinous rice in the dock warehouse?"
Captain Li of the prospecting team asked the navy team.
"Yes, your Majesty said in your letter, both lead and glutinous rice are equipped."
"That's great, let's go back quickly. Have you remembered the location here?!"
"Remember it!"
"Walk!"
