"..." Paimon looked complicated and silent: "This guy has a bad memory."

Kunjun defended himself: "It can't be said that he has a bad memory...but if it's just a stone, I can definitely help."

Then Kunjun took out a piece of ore from his pocket and handed it to Zhongli who was standing opposite him: "Mr. Zhongli, what do you think of this stone?"

"Hmm..." Zhongli put one hand on the forearm of the other, put his fist on his chin as if thinking, and squinted his eyes to look at it: "The surface of this stone is smooth, and the cracks on the surface are caused by volcanic eruptions. If I guessed right, this is a stone embryo from another country."

Kunjun was particularly pleasantly surprised and couldn't help but nod: "Oh! What a good taste!"

Zhongli continued: "It is not an ordinary stone embryo. The shell is thin and the lines are black... I guess it contains fine crystal ore."

"That's right. This stone came from around the volcano. I bought it at the market while wandering around. The seller thought it was just scraps, but didn't know the secret."

Kong frowned, unable to tell clearly, and asked, "Why is this piece the best?"

Before Zhongli could answer, Kun Jun continued to explain to them: "Just because the color is pure and the texture is high-grade, it is not enough to be called a treasure. Some of the higher-grade rare crystals are covered with water galls, and some are hidden with gold sand."

After saying that, he handed the stone to Kong without hesitation, let him put it in his hand, and got closer to observe it carefully: "The crystal hidden under this layer of stone shell enveloped a ball of water at the moment it was formed. Hidden at the bottom, like the full moon in the mountains, it moves in the sky, which can be said to be quite rare.”

Paimon was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. It was so detailed that it was as if he had seen it with his own eyes... So he put his hands on his hips and couldn't help but doubt: "You are not fooling us, are you? After all, you haven't opened this stone yet. Woolen cloth."

"No, he is telling the truth." Zhongli nodded affirmatively when he saw everyone around him looking at him: "Most crystals are born in high-temperature environments. High temperatures are incompatible with running water, so water bile crystals are precious. This crystal contains What is hidden is water from mountains and lakes, which is even rarer.”

Kunjun put the stone away again and asked with a smile: "This is the first time I have seen Mr. Zhongli's eyesight! How do you know what it looks like under the stone shell?"

"I've seen it a lot, so I'll naturally have some insights. I'm just showing off, so please don't mind me, Brother Kun." Zhongli said modestly as usual.

"No, no, how could it be!" Kun Jun hurriedly denied it, and then he was afraid that the other party had misunderstood something, and said: "I think we are very compatible, and I really want to make you as a friend. Lao Dai, take Mr. Zhongli with you. Come on! Believe me, he is definitely a connoisseur with extraordinary vision. You will not meet many such people in your life. "

Lao Dai originally had no intention of letting Zhongli go back home, so he agreed decisively: "Of course, one more person will give you more strength. Everyone, please follow me for a walk to the Layeryan Juyuan Mining Area. I got lost this time." Brothers, it’s up to you to find it.”

However, although it is said to be a layered rock giant abyss mining area, it is actually very peripheral.

After arriving at the destination, the sycamore trees can be seen in the distance. This is probably the entrance. They are now in the small mine between Qingxupu and Lingju Pass. After all, the version of the Strata Abyss has not yet been officially opened.

Well, let’s explore the area ahead later.

And as Yan Fei said before, the Layer Rock Abyss has been sealed off, and no paperwork application will work.

Therefore, it is completely impossible to get in.

"Wow, this mining area is really quite big." Pamon sighed silently.

Next to a broken wooden shelf, Lao Dai stopped, sighed, and began to briefly explain the incident: "Everyone, this is the place where the incident happened. Six days ago, I took a few guys out to do errands. When I came back, I heard that the four brothers who stayed behind were missing. I led people to search the entire mining area, but couldn't find them. I really had no clue, so I asked a few people to help."

"In other words, four miners are missing." Zhongli asked because he didn't know the contents of the commission.

After all, at that time, Kong, Wutong and Paimeng only told him that someone who was proficient in geology and ore was needed to help.

Lao Dai nodded: "Yes. Originally there were ten of us, but Aaron, Cen Da, Cen Er, and Xiao Mao were all miners who worked with me."

"Most of the workers in this industry are young and middle-aged men. Could the four miners have gone to mines elsewhere?"

Kong also agreed with Zhongli's idea and speculation.

However, Lao Dai thought about it and shook his head in denial: "It's not like that. There are no footholds around this area, and we didn't see any other mines being mined along the way."

Kunjun: "Hmm...have you searched all of such a large mining area?"

"I haven't fallen an inch. I've looked for it in the well. I just have to dig three feet into the ground. But four big living people can't get into the ground at once, can they?"

When Lao Dai said this, Wutong touched the jadeite hanging under his ear and said, "How about we take a look at the scene first."

As the saying goes, the passing geese leave traces, and the passing wind leaves a sound. The scene is a must-see. Lao Dai also said that this area will be searched casually. If there are any clues about the missing brother, be sure to tell him!

"Look, what is this? Scattered clothes, trousers..." Pamon was the first to notice something wrong when he was near the shelf with chisels, pickaxes and shovels not far away.

Zhongli rubbed his chin: "The living supplies placed in the mining area should belong to Lao Dai and the others."

"Ten clothes and ten trousers. They should be replacement clothes. The style is exactly the same as the one worn by Lao Dai." Sora glanced at it quickly, silently counted and compared it in his mind and said.

Zhong Li watched as he walked, then frowned and stopped: "Those four people have been out for six days and haven't returned yet, but they didn't bring any change of clothes. There are also cloth handkerchiefs and soap locust for washing around... and these pockets, It’s a small tool bag that comes with you.”

Utensils for washing up in the morning, equipment for mining...

Kong followed Zhongli's words and came to a conclusion, and then asked, "These people didn't bring any luggage? Could it be that they forgot to bring it?"

Zhongli denied it and gave an explanation: "It's not like that. There are four less mining picks used for mining, which means they probably brought tools. They have time to bring tools, but no time to pack daily necessities? It's unreasonable."

"Involuntary." Wutong pointed out the key point at the right time.

"Well, it's possible that if they didn't leave out of their own volition, they really wouldn't have time to think about their luggage."

Kong slightly widened his eyes and looked at Zhongli: "You mean, he was taken away?"

"This possibility is not small. But further inference requires more clues."
