Chapter 136 Finding Treasures in the Stream

After solving the problem of language barrier, and pre-booking the candidate for the governor of Hainan Island in advance, Li Yu immediately thought that he had agreed to the conditions of the indigenous leader but had not yet agreed.

Then he said: "From now on, Huanggang, you can do things for me. As for the natives on the island, he will be in charge."

Huang Gang didn't think too much when he heard the words, and immediately informed many leaders of Li Yu's thoughts.

When the other leaders saw that Li Yu had arranged for "Hong" to be the leader, although they had ideas in their hearts, they did not dare to mention them.

As for Hong, it was the leader of the group of aborigines that Li Yu and the others met at first, who exchanged gems with Li Yu for weapons.

After hearing Huang Gang's translation, Hong's face suddenly showed ecstasy, and then he fell to the ground, thanking Li Yu while chanting.

Li Yu couldn't help asking: "Translator, what are you talking about?"

Huang Gang smiled cheerfully and explained: "Sir, this man is called Hong, and he is boasting that you are the sun sent from the sky to shine on him and lead his clansmen forward..."

Li Yu just smiled when he heard this, and didn't take the native's praise seriously.

After all, Li Yu came from an era of science and technology that did not believe in gods.

Even if there are gods, in terms of the temperature of the sun, I'm afraid it can roast the so-called "gods" into jerky.

"Okay, what the Marquis promised has been done, you tell Hong to take me to the place where he found the gem."

This Hainan Island is not small. Even if Li Yu has the exploration skills rewarded by the system, he is not confident enough to say that he can know where the mine is with a wave of his hand.

Moreover, when the range of the known exploration skill is only two kilometers, trying to use the exploration skill to explore the mine location is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

The easiest and most effective way at the moment is naturally to follow the aborigines to find a productive place first, and then use exploration skills to explore the place of production.

In this way, even if there is no mine underground in the place where gems appear, it can save a lot of energy.

And as the leader of the aborigines, Hong, stopped by a stream, Li Yu knew that he had arrived at the place he was looking forward to.

And next, if you want to know if there are gemstone mines or gold mines under your feet, you only need to use Li Yu's exploration skills to find out.

How to use prospecting skills?
It's easy to say, all you need is for Li Yu to silently say the word "exploration" three times.

The exploration skills will be centered at Li Yu's feet, extending a range of two kilometers around.

This allows Li Yu to know the underground situation within a radius of two kilometers. If there is a mine, its location will be displayed in front of Li Yu's eyes.

This surprised Li Yu, who was using exploration skills for the first time.

Isn't this a humanoid detector?
And this exploration skill is not unlimited to use, it needs to rely on a lot of mental effort to drive it, so that once the exploration skill is activated, it will make Li Yu feel weak as if his body has been hollowed out.

It is also because of this that Li Yu has used the exploration skill once so far, and has not yet found a mineral deposit.

When everyone stopped and gathered by the stream to watch, Li Yu immediately grinned and said, "Since Chief Hong found so many red sapphires and gold mines here, you might as well go into the water as well." Check it out."

Everyone immediately became interested when they heard the words, and Liu Bang raised his trouser legs and asked, "Master Hou, who is it if you find it?"

In Liu Bang's mind, with such a windfall, it is natural for him to own it if he finds it, but because of Li Yu's presence, he asked symbolically.

But Li Yu could not understand Liu Bang's careful thinking, and then he waved his hand generously and said: "As long as you can find treasures here before dark today, they will be privately owned."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Bang pulled up his trouser legs, jumped into the water, and then bent over to search.

Seeing everyone join the team of Mobao one after another, Li Yu leaned against a big tree and couldn't help showing a little playfulness.

And Zhao Yun happened to see Li Yu's playful expression, and asked a little puzzled: "Master Hou, my subordinates are not too surprised to see your expression. Could it be that there are no gems here?"

Li Yu raised his eyebrows, and then said with a smile: "Zilong, why do you say that the gems hidden in the ground appear in the streams in the mountains?"

Zhao Yun couldn't help being taken aback, then thought for a while and said: "The stream comes from the underground river, and its flow will naturally bring some underground mud and rocks to appear in the open..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yun suddenly realized: "Master Hou, you mean... those gemstones and gold mines picked up by the indigenous people are all the small parts that were washed out by the stream?"

Seeing that Zhao Yun wanted to understand in an instant, Li Yu also praised without hesitation: "Haha, Zilong is really smart, he can understand it at a single point."

Hearing what Li Yu said, Zhao Yun, who has always been unsmiling, couldn't help laughing and said, "No wonder Lord Hou let Mr. Xiao and the others go into the water to touch the baby so indifferently..."

"Shh!"

"Just let me let Ovary and the others soak their feet in water." Li Yu made a gesture of silence, and then smiled a little bit.

Zhao Yun was naturally happy to be a spectator, watching Liu Bang and the others tumbling pebbles in the water like having fun.

And this kind of bad taste didn't last long, and Liu Bang began to complain: "Grandma's, is it possible that the treasures have been picked up by the natives?"

After speaking, Liu Bang tossed a few more pebbles that seemed to be able to hide gems, but unfortunately there was still no trace of half of the gems, and then he went ashore, squatting on a large exposed rock with a face full of dissatisfaction.

At this moment, Zhang Liang excitedly picked up a red crystal the size of a broad bean from the water, and held it up to the sunlight to look at it.

It didn't matter, but Liu Bang, who had landed early in the morning and squatted on the rock to express his dissatisfaction, was half-dead in anger.

Isn't this the place I just rummaged through?
Such a large red gemstone can be exchanged for half a bag of gold baht if it is sold to high-ranking officials and nobles in Xianyang City.

pity……

Why is my mother so rough?

Just as Liu Bang was whining and complaining, Xiao He also touched a blue gem the size of a pigeon egg, and even basked in the blue gem in Liu Bang's hand with a face full of excitement.

Seeing this, Liu Bang's face became more and more ugly, so he prepared to go into the water again.

But at this moment, the corner of Li Yu's mouth curled up, and he said, "Everyone is lucky, congratulations."

Zhang Liang was born in an aristocratic family, and he had no interest in money itself, but now he was able to touch a ruby ​​the size of a broad bean from the river with his own hands, and he was already smiling like a flower.

Hearing Li Yu's congratulations, he put away his uncommon joy and replied: "Having half a moment of joy in the stream, I have to thank Lord Hou for the gift."

Li Yu couldn't help shaking his head, thinking: It really is that humble Confucian scholar Zhang Liang, if Liu Bang picked up such a ruby, he would have jumped three feet high.

On the contrary, Xiao He didn't say much, but judging by his thoughtful appearance, he must have already started to think about how to deal with the gem in his hand after returning to Xianyang.

After inferring that gemstones are indeed produced here, but not where the mine is located, in order not to delay time.Li Yu then said: "Everyone can gain something from this stream, which means that gemstones are indeed produced here. Therefore, Ben Hou deduces that the upstream of the stream is the origin of gemstone mines, so..."
