Aunt Xiang smiled slightly and said: "I think the information you read is not as detailed as the information I got. Also, the map on the tablet computer is only an approximate direction, and there is no positioning. The purpose of sending an advance prospecting team is to find out a new route. .And the route we took was opened from the blasted rock wall, so maybe what we detected was a shortcut."

Ning Xiaofan said happily: "So, we have really entered the mining area."

"Compared with the topography and landform here, it's almost the same. By the way, there is a reason for the temperature rise here, and it is also an obvious feature of entering the mining area."

"Elevated temperature is also a feature?"

Aunt Xiang nodded and said: "The mining area is located in the underground magma movement area, there is a lot of geothermal heat, otherwise, do you think the temperature in this area will rise so fast?

After listening to her explanation, Ning Xiaofan understood why the temperature suddenly rose. The feeling was due to the heat of the earth. It seemed that Aunt Xiang knew it already, but she just kept silent.

However, Ning Xiaofan's heart tightened, the magma movement area?It is not difficult to imagine how high the temperature of the magma will be, that is a terrible thing!

As he was about to enter the mining area, Ning Xiaofan knew that it was useless to think too much, and he only hoped that he would not encounter any bloody incidents of magma spewing out after entering the mining area.

The mining area where the light source was emitted seemed to be near, but Ning Xiaofan and his party still walked for nearly two hours before arriving at the mining area.

This is a lava area that looks like a "karst" landform, with peaks and rocks standing tall and straight, and rock caves that seem to be flooded and wind-eroded are scattered among them, and they are various and magnificent.

What is amazing is that the huge or tiny rocks exude halos, coupled with the mist emitted by the geothermal heat, the entire mining area is shrouded in dense clouds and mists, as if entering a myth in various poses and with different expressions. world.

What surprised Ning Xiaofan and others was that when they came to the mining area, they could actually see the dome. As far as they could see, the shortest dome was more than a hundred meters from the ground, and the highest one was probably more than 300 meters away.

Being able to see the dome made Ning Xiaofan and others realize that they were still in the underground world. However, the dome above the head did not feel depressing at all. On the contrary, the hanging rock shape similar to stalactites Strange, well-defined, but it has a different scene.

Between the strange peaks and rock-like landforms, there are winding natural trails, and Ning Xiaofan and his party walked along the natural trails they chose at random.

During the walk, the beautiful scenery along the way is dizzying. In addition to the strange peaks and rocks in various poses and scattered caves, from time to time, you can also see clusters of quartz that emit crystal light, as well as white light, pink light, and purple light. Crystals of all colors.

This is a treasure...

Quartz is not worth much, but the value of crystal is not low. There are large expanses of crystal mines exposed on the surface, dazzling and shining, and the little stars in the eyes of Ning Xiaofan, Fatty and others are shining wildly, especially the pink ones. And purple crystals, take them out and process them casually, and they can be processed into high-end crystal jewelry.

If it weren't for Ning Xiaofan and others to know that there are still treasure mines waiting for him that are countless times more valuable than crystals, it is estimated that a few greedy guys can't help but want to knock on a few brightly colored ones. Crystals are on me.

As the group of people continued to go deeper into the mining area, suddenly, there was a faint sound of drizzling.

Not long after, a three-meter-wide stream caught everyone's eyes. To the amazement of Ning Xiaofan and others, this stream was extremely clear. The bottom of the stream was covered with colorful sandstones and clumps of crystals. Colorful fish swim leisurely in the stream.Under the reflection of colorful sandstone and crystal light, the whole stream also exudes colorful halos, just like a galaxy hanging in the starry sky, magnificent and enchanting.

The source of this stream should be in the west, and between a strange peak in the west direction, hangs a small waterfall like a silver belt. The location forms a backwater bay, bypassing the bottom of a strangely shaped peak rock, and flowing toward the depths of the mining area.

At this time, Aunt Xiang happily said: "Qicai Xingxi, I can be sure that we have entered the mining area."

Colorful Xingxi, the name is quite appropriate.

Ning Xiaofan still couldn't help asking: "Aunt Xiang, the colorful star stream you mentioned? Is it the stream in front of you?"

"Well, there is more than one colorful star stream, but all the streams flowing in the mining area emit this colorful halo, which looks like a star river in the night sky, so they are named that way. As far as I know, they are also This kind of colorful star stream exists only in the mining area."

At this time, the fat man said expectantly, "Aunt Xiang, you said that the stones in this creek are beautiful in color and can shine. Is it the gemstone we are looking for?"

Fatty's question was on point. The eyes of Ning Xiaofan, Hou San and the others lit up instantly. If they added some green light, they would look like wolf eyes.

Aunt Xiang shook her head and said, "No, we have tested all these stones, except for their better appearance and some phosphorus, they are of no value."

As soon as Aunt Xiang said this, there was a burst of sighs, of course, they were all sighs of extreme disappointment.

Seeing the expressions of Ning Xiaofan, Fatty and the others, Aunt Xiang couldn't help laughing, and said, "But... there are still good things in this colorful star stream, for example..."

Speaking of this, Aunt Xiang deliberately elongated her tone, and there was a hint of ridicule in her eyes.

"For example, what?" Ning Xiaofan and Fatty's ears perked up at once. When they heard Aunt Xiang's tantalizing words, they couldn't help but itch.

"Like diamonds."

"diamond?"

There was a sound of inhalation, and Ning Xiaofan, Fatty and the others opened their mouths so wide that they were almost drooling. Everyone on Earth knows that diamonds are the most valuable gems in the world.Of course, the legendary "spiritual stone" is not in common sense, it belongs to the stuff of legends, so it is another matter.

"That's right, it's a diamond..." Aunt Xiang's eyes became even more teasing: "Our prospectors found diamonds in this colorful star stream before, and as far as I know, the smallest one is 3 carats. , I heard that someone found an 18-carat gold diamond. Of course, there may be bigger diamonds, such as pink diamonds, gold diamonds, etc., but I don’t know who got it..."

"Come on, there are diamonds in the stream, so what are you waiting for? Hurry up and dig..." The fat man jumped up, and then began to disarm his equipment, as if he was about to jump into the stream to find diamonds at any time .

"Fatty, wait a moment..." Ning Xiaofan stopped the fatty's movement first, and then asked, "Aunt Xiang, the diamonds in the Seven-Colored Star Creek are not so easy to find, are they?"

Although Ning Xiaofan was greedy for money, he noticed the teasing look in Aunt Xiang's eyes, and he knew that it would not be so easy to get the pie in the sky.

Aunt Xiang smiled slightly: "You are smart, little guy. That's right, diamonds are indeed produced in this Colorful Star Creek, but it is not so easy to find. Not to mention that the diamonds in the stream are buried in sand and stones and are not easy to find. It’s the danger in the stream, it’s enough for you to drink a pot.”

"Dangerous? It's so clear in this stream, what's the danger?"

"Have you seen all the fish in the stream? Although these fish are not big in size, they look colorful and beautiful, but these fish are aggressive. Once there is a living thing in the stream, these fish will swarm up and eat it. Living things. Moreover, this kind of fish will also secrete an anesthetic similar to anesthesizing nerves, allowing you to be recruited unconsciously. Even if it is a small wound, the anesthetic will soak into the blood and numb your nerves, so that you In the water, both legs were gnawed into skeletons, and they still felt no pain."

"Ah? So scary? Is it true or not?" Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but gasped, seeing that the fish in the water were only a few inches long, it wasn't that scary, but he still couldn't believe it.

The corner of Aunt Xiang’s mouth curled into a hint of sarcasm: “If you don’t believe me, go down and try it. These fish seem harmless, but they are so powerful. There used to be a prospector from our company who was surrounded by fish when he went into the stream to look for diamonds. At that time, he He didn't feel any pain, and he thought that the fish in the fish spa pond were just gnawing on skin scraps, so he just concentrated on looking for diamonds. In the end, he didn't even find out that he had eaten all the meat on his calf bone. , it was too late, and he died within a day after being rescued ashore, and he could not be rescued even if rescued."

Hearing this, Ning Xiaofan felt chills in his heart, how dare he really try it, and seeing the dumbfounded look of the fat man, he couldn't help but joked: "I said fat man, diamond, why don't you try it first Water? I’ll watch it for you, if any fish comes to bite you, I’ll drive it away for you.”

The fat man rolled his eyes, and directly gave Ning Xiaofan a middle finger...

The dream of diamonds has been shattered, just like Aunt Xiang said, not to mention that diamonds are not easy to find buried under the sand, just the beautiful looking fish in the stream are not vegetarians.Moreover, even if we can find a way to solve the fish problem, digging sand and sifting diamonds is still a big project. If it is not done well, it is estimated that we will not find a diamond in ten and a half months.

However, even though Ning Xiaofan, Fatty and the others knew that diamonds were hard to find, they still did not give up. In addition, the route of the people was almost along the stream, and the few guys walked all the way, but their eyes were wide open. Staring at the colorful Xingxi, as if hoping to pick up some leaks...

I don't know how long I have been walking all the way into the mining area?When everyone felt a little tired, Yang Hai's voice suddenly came from the headset: "Team Ning, there is a situation!"

Yang Hai and Hou San were still exploring the way ahead, about one kilometer away from Ning Xiaofan and his party.

Ning Xiaofan heard that there was a situation, and was about to make a gesture to signal to stop, but he saw that the fat man and the others had already huffed, and crouched nearby to hide with extremely quick movements.
