Chapter 574 - 574: A Massive Mineral Deposit! The Value Cannot
“Something seems a bit off!” Luo Feng murmured, eyes narrowed as he gazed at the underground treasure hotspot. Its distribution was so vast that it seemed to stretch beyond belief.
Luo Feng was using a basic scan that could only display what lay within a kilometer’s radius. Shen Wansan’s tomb was much farther away, yet a golden light filled the entire visible kilometer.
This indicated that the treasures beneath, if scanned again, might well surpass that range.
If there were an ancient tomb below, it would surely eclipse even the grandeur of Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s tomb.
Stunned into silence. Luo Feng tried to digest the possibility . Could such a
place really contain a burial site of this scale?
“Let’s go up and see!” he finally exclaimed.
His oxygen tank was running low, and digging downward from an ancient tomb was a risky endeavor. Not only would it destroy the tomb’s original structure, but the progress would also be agonizingly slow.
Digging from the outside with advanced machinery, on the other hand, would make the process much quicker. Digging from within the tomb meant many advanced tools couldn’t be used.
After reaching the surface, Luo Feng circled the tomb twice before starting to dig, determination in his eyes.
Splish-splash.
“What are you doing, host? Still digging?” one of his viewers called out.
“Could there be another tomb beside Shen Wansan’s?” another asked, confusion lacing his words.
“Exactly, stop digging, leave some for us!” a third person chimed in.
Seeing Luo Feng choose a different spot to excavate, everyone was puzzled. Was it possible that there were more tombs?
Logically, finding one tomb was rare enough, let alone two in the same vicinity.
[ Ding! You’ve dug up a golden nugget shaped like a dog’s head, worth 8 million yuan! ]
Luo Feng paused, taken aback. A golden nugget shaped like a dog’s head? He hadn’t come across one of those in ages.
Wasn’t his first discovery natural gold? A dog’s head gold was undoubtedly a type of natural gold.
“Holy crap, it’s natural gold!” someone exclaimed.
“That’s a dog’s head gold!” another voice rang out.
“Damn, was Shen Wansan that extravagant? Using natural gold for a burial?” a third person marveled.
“Seeing this makes me feel worse than being killed. Boss, why do you always dig up such incredible things?” a fourth viewer grumbled.
“This is unfair! I should have come to dig here. Maybe those millions would have been mine!” a fifth lamented.
Luo Feng looked at the dog’s head gold in his hand, feeling a pang of disbelief. Was it truly buried here?
However, as long as there was money, there was no problem.
He continued to dig until evening, excavating a pit over three meters deep, revealing nothing but the dog’s head gold.
Luo Feng was patient; the golden glow beneath, if from a tomb, would be at a depth of seven or eight meters at most. Ancient people were unlikely to dig deeper than ten meters unless it was an imperial tomb or the terrain was unusually easy to excavate.
Late at night, though exhausted, Luo Feng fed his two little kittens.
As for the lovely little model from the nation of Sakura, she would be coming over soon. Since everyone knew about her connection with Luo Feng, they would try to learn something about him through her. If she indeed knew nothing, she would be released. Luo Feng had helped her with connections; coming to China would be no problem.
He looked forward to her arrival, even though he knew that life with just two people was optimal. Any more, and it wouldn’t make much difference.
Around ten o’clock the next morning, Luo Feng resumed digging. Gu Santong brought people into the mountain, calling out, “Little Luo, still digging?
Haven’t you already found Shen Wansan’s tomb?”
“Yes, I must continue digging; I think there’s still something down there,” Luo Feng replied, greeting him. However, at eleven o’clock:
Thunk!
[ You have discovered a mine! ]
[ Type: Mixed! ]
[ Value: ]
When Luo Feng’s hoe struck something hard, the system promptly alerted him.
Was this not an ancient tomb but a mineral deposit?
Holy cow!
A mineral deposit?
Luo Feng’s heart leaped. This was no mere underground cave or Lantian jade mine; it was a genuine mineral deposit.
Even the system couldn’t estimate its value, meaning the deposit’s scale must be enormous. Moreover, it was classified as mixed, indicating that there were various types of minerals beneath.
Suddenly, Luo Feng recalled the natural gold he had dug up yesterday. That dog’s head gold had left him puzzled, thinking it was Shen Wansan’s. Now, it appeared to be naturally occurring.. Therefore, among the various minerals below, there certainly was gold!
