Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 780 New Pet Green Mamba
Since I don't want to split up this football-sized white diamond in my hand, I can only keep it as a collection.

But such a large diamond has never appeared in the world. I always feel that the treasure is not well-known. Even if it stays in my hands, it is as if it has never appeared in this world.

But if he were to put it up for auction in real life, it would shock the whole world, but it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it, and suddenly had an idea. He took out the camera from the Novice Village warehouse and took more than a dozen photos of the football-sized diamond rough.

After leaving the rain forest, send these photos to a major newspaper, along with one thousand dollars in cash.

Just say that you want to auction this diamond, and if any auction house is interested, they can come to a certain hotel and wait.

At that time, someone will call them to arrange a place to discuss the auction.

But in fact, Chu Xiangqian had no intention of showing up, let alone calling to discuss the auction.

If the owner of the diamond doesn't show up, the outside world will definitely be talking about it.

Among those speculations, the one that people are most willing to believe is that the owner of the diamond was found before contacting the auction house.

Either the diamond was sold privately, or it was robbed and someone killed someone to silence them.

Such conspiracy theories must have a large market in the minds of the people. In order to increase sales, major newspapers naturally write what ordinary people want to read.

In the end, this diamond will become famous all over the world.

Chu Xiangqian, who was hiding behind the scenes, could watch the fun and feel secretly proud that the treasure that countless people wanted was hidden in his hands.

Perhaps among those who tried every possible means to obtain this diamond were Elizabeth and other kings.

When this thought came to his mind, Chu Xiangqian was only happy for a few seconds, and then suddenly he felt uncomfortable again.

Chu Xiangqian felt angry when he thought about the fact that so many treasures of the Celestial Empire were snatched away by the British, French and other Europeans.

Then he cursed in his heart, Whip Chao is a waste.

With a wave of his hand, he put the football-sized diamond and other diamonds on the ground into the Novice Village warehouse.

Then they said a few words to the giant apes, and the 22 giant apes entered the volcanic cave again to search carefully.

In the end, even the diamonds embedded in the cooled lava stones were smashed by the giant apes' fists and taken out.

In other words, all diamonds exposed to the air were collected.

Chu Xiangqian believed that there must be more diamonds in the lava stone under the temple, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

Now, once these more than 150 sentence-shaped diamonds appear in the outside world, they will cause a huge sensation, and then the price of diamonds will fall.

It's useless to collect more.

But Chu Xiangqian changed his mind and realized that he had a cheat, and since it didn't take much effort, he would of course take all the loot, so that no one would accidentally discover this place in the future and make a fortune.

And there were 22 giant apes serving as free labor. Chu Xiangqian took out dozens of maces and orc axes and hammers.

After a day, the cave under the temple became bumpy.

Chu Xiangqian collected all the lava stones into the Novice Village, and then performed several collection spells.

You know what, it’s really easy to separate the diamonds from the lava rocks.

The number of sentence-shaped diamonds in the portable storage compartment also increased from more than 150 to 531.

In fact, the most rare ones are the 19 red diamonds, pink diamonds and yellow diamonds, and among these 19 diamonds, even the smallest one is a red diamond the size of a walnut.

Moreover, this red diamond is bright red all over, and its purity appears to have reached the highest standard. When viewed in the sunlight, there is no flaw inside.

Chu Xiangqian believed that even if he offered 1000 million US dollars or even 2 million US dollars for a standard, highest-grade colored diamond, as long as it appeared at the auction, there would definitely be wealthy people willing to buy it and use it as a store of value like gold.

The other 18 rough colored diamonds also have high color and purity, and each one is larger than this red diamond.

While Chu Xiangqian was happy, he also sighed inwardly. From now on, diamonds in his heart would be no different from glass.

But if you control the quantity and give them to your women, I believe they will be absolutely excited and ecstatic.

Chu Xiangqian threw the lava rocks separated from the Novice Village back into the cave to cover up the bumpy holes, and then he left the temple contentedly.

But just when he was about to take all the giant apes into the Novice Village, he suddenly remembered that there must be a lot of open-air diamonds deposited in the river valley a few kilometers away.

Otherwise, those Gallic roosters would not have hired Uncle Black to set up a temporary camp in the valley to collect diamonds.

In this case, of course we should screen the river valley as well.

This is to prevent the news of the valley diamond mine from being known to other Gallic roosters, who might come over to collect diamonds and make a fortune in the future.

The main point is that even though diamonds are useless to Chu Xiangqian, he still doesn't give the Gallic rooster a chance to make a fortune.

While leading the giant ape towards the river valley, the titmouse also began to act as an early warning aircraft in the air.

The journey would normally take half an hour, but Chu Xiangqian and the upgraded giant ape reached the valley in just seven or eight minutes.

Chu Xiangqian stood on a big tree, observing the water volume and terrain of the valley for a while, and soon came up with an idea in his mind.

Entering the Novice Village, dozens of two-meter-long steel shovels were made using iron ore refined from the iron ore.

Moreover, the shovel surfaces of these shovels are half a meter wide. For normal people, these things are too big and not only do they not fit in the hands, but they are also very heavy. But for giant apes, they are just right.

Upstream of the U-shaped river channel, we chose a place with soft soil and started digging a new river channel.

It took 22 giant apes only one afternoon and half a night to dig a new river channel 1 meters deep and 5 meters wide over a distance of 3 meters.

Once the water was diverted, the amount of water flowing into the lower part of the U-shaped river channel was immediately reduced by more than half.

Chu Xiangqian used wood and excavated soil to block the water level in the downstream river, which quickly dropped little by little.

At around 11 o'clock in the evening, after both ends of the old river channel were blocked, Chu Xiangqian returned to the Novice Village with 22 giant apes and tools.

After letting the giant ape eat and drink a big meal and rest for a night, it will be much easier to dig out the mud, sand and diamonds from the old river channel tomorrow morning.

Then collect all the dirt diamonds into the Novice Village, and use a collection spell to separate the diamonds.

Another busy day passed like this, and when the giant apes were tired, they were taken to the Novice Village to eat, drink and rest, and then go to play monsters. After reaching the next level, all the giant apes immediately became full of energy.

It’s no wonder that the U-shaped river channel is the place with the fastest water flow and the most sediment, so quite a lot of diamonds have been collected there.

Even if you dig three meters down, diamonds are still being collected from the soil and gravel.

After another busy day, Chu Xiangqian finally stopped. The diamonds he collected in two days filled two backpacks. He threw all the white diamonds below one carat into a wooden box, and when he returned to Hong Kong Island, he handed them over to Zheng Yutong to deal with.

The others were sorted and packed into velvet bags and placed together with the diamonds stolen from the Indian Temple.

Wait until the price of diamonds goes up, or when you are short of money, and then slowly sell them.

Among these diamonds, the most precious one is a pink diamond the size of a pigeon egg. If it were to be auctioned, it would be sold for at least two to three million US dollars.

Unfortunately for Chu Xiangqian, this diamond can only be considered average at best in his collection.

Chu Xiangqian looked at it for a while and soon lost interest, but after thinking about it, he decided that it would be a perfect birthday present for Xue Jinglan.

As for Margaret, although Chu Xiangqian did have feelings for this girl, he was also taking advantage of her identity.

Moreover, compared with Xue Jinglan, who gave birth to his eldest son, Margaret's position in his heart is indeed not as high as Xue Jinglan's.

So after just a moment's thought, Chu Xiangqian selected a thumb- or fingernail-sized white diamond from the valley diamonds he had dug up this time, as well as a dozen peanut-sized white diamonds, and dozens of even smaller white diamonds of only two or three carats.

In the jewelry shop in the Novice Village, a diamond necklace was created.

Although this necklace uses a lot of diamonds, the price of diamonds themselves was relatively inexpensive at that time.

Of course, for ordinary working class people, a 2-carat diamond costs several thousand dollars, which is still one or two years' salary for them, which is not cheap.

But to Chu Xiangqian, this amount of money is not money.

I held the new necklace in my hand and held it up to the sunlight. I immediately felt that the necklace was full of colorful gems. It was really eye-catching. No wonder women are so crazy about jewelry.

After collecting all the necklaces, Chu Xiangqian began to throw all the dirt, sand and gravel from the Novice Village back into the old river channel.

Then he removed the wood and sand that were blocking the river to restore the water flow. Only then did he return to the Novice Village with satisfaction and brought the 22 giant apes.

I plan to stay overnight and leave the rain forest for London tomorrow morning.

What Chu Xiangqian didn't know was that, as he had previously guessed, the news of the discovery of diamonds in this river was known not only to the three Gallic roosters responsible for digging on this side of the river, but also to the three Gallic roosters he had killed in South Africa.

Moreover, when the giant ape attacked the temporary camp on the river side, it did not kill all of Uncle Black's mercenaries.

The escaped Hey people returned to their villages or tribes, and the news quickly spread.

At this time, outside the rain forest, not only were there more than forty Gallic roosters fully armed and ready to go into the mountains, but more men with swords, bows and arrows were hired to go into the mountains to dig for diamonds.

If we encounter giant apes, we can really kill dozens of them with our advantages in numbers and firepower, as well as by defending the newly built camp.

Even after these Gallic roosters received the confirmed news, they waited for a few more days and mobilized two Hotchkiss heavy machine guns.

If this thing hits a living creature, no matter how powerful the giant ape is, it will definitely kneel down.

The next day, after Chu Xiangqian woke up in the luxurious room of the Novice Village Restaurant, he first did some boxing as usual. After breakfast, when he left the Novice Village and walked out of the rainforest, the team led by the Gallic Rooster had already entered the rainforest for a day.

Because Chu Xiangqian can jump on dense trees, his speed is obviously several times faster than that of ordinary people.

At around 4 p.m., he saw through the mountain sparrow a group of people entering the mountain more than ten kilometers away from him.

Chu Xiangqian stopped on a tree several dozen meters high and thought for a moment, then released the marten to eavesdrop.

It was confirmed that this group of people were indeed going into the mountains to dig for diamonds, and these white people were all Gallic roosters. Chu Xiangqian's first thought was to leave all these white people in the rain forest.

However, this place is only about thirty kilometers away from the rainforest. Even if I kill these forty or so foreigners by sneak attacks and assassinations alone, it is impossible to leave two or three hundred for the others.

Moreover, he only kills white people. Even a fool knows that he is specifically against France.

The Gallic roosters, who already knew that China might be taking action in Africa, would most likely hold this grudge against China.

After thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian simply camped on the big tree, and then ordered the marten and the tit to follow and eavesdrop along the way.

Two hours passed quickly, and as it was getting dark, the team entering the mountain camped under a cliff where a spring was gushing out, 5 kilometers away from the big tree.

Chu Xiangqian, who was lying on a tree trunk, saw someone fetching water from the spring under the cliff and couldn't help but smile.

He stood up and jumped from tree to tree. After more than ten minutes, he arrived at a dense tree a hundred meters outside the camp.

After a while, Huang Diaoer climbed up and took a bag of croton from Chu Xiangqian.

After using croton in Tianzhu last year, Chu Xiangqian returned to the capital at the end of last year and specifically asked Jin, one of his father-in-laws, for a lot of croton powder with stronger medicinal properties.

But before Huang Diao'er left, Chu Xiangqian's pupils suddenly shrank, and he stretched out his hand and instantly caught the neck of a green-covered spicy fish that was flying towards him.

After taking a closer look, I couldn't help but curse in my heart.

Many people in China know the black mamba, but the green mamba in Chu Xiangqian's hand is no less toxic than the black mamba.

The reason why it is not well-known is simply that this type of snake only stays in trees, unlike the black mamba, which walks quickly on the ground and attacks passers-by.

They may even actively attack people and animals passing by, and will not stop until they bite several or even dozens of times.

Just as Chu Xiangqian was thinking about collecting a few green mambas to collect their venom and putting it in the water for the team entering the mountain, he soon remembered that the venom of this kind of snake needs to come into contact with blood to cause poisoning.

If it enters the stomach, it will most likely be broken down by the enzymes in the stomach.

Of course, if there are wounds in the mouth and stomach, poisoning will occur, but the toxicity will be diluted in water.

It’s really better to use croton.

However, he did not crush the snake to death. Instead, he ordered the marten to continue to collect chin bean powder while he entered the Novice Village.

It only took half an hour to get this green mamba as a pet snake.

Although the refreshed wild area today was cleared by Chu Xiangqian with the giant ape, hunting dogs, tits, and stingrays.

But Chu Xiangqian never cleared the cattle and sheep that were refreshed every day. Instead, he caught them and let them roam free in the open-air paddock.

When the number reaches a certain level, they will be taken out and placed in the ranch in Los Angeles, Downton Abbey Ranch and the ranch in Tung Lung Chau, Hong Kong Island.

He led a cow out of the pen and shot it dead with an arrow. The green mamba coiled on Chu Xiangqian's arm immediately upgraded from level 0 to level 1.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it. Although the venom of the green mamba is very strong, judging from the size of this snake, it is impossible for it to have a lot of venom.

So he first used a small cup, let the Green Mamba's fangs bite the wall of the cup and spit out venom, and then he added physical strength to it.
