Chapter 108 The East is not bright and the West is bright

If Su Xiaofan's actions were seen by those members of the mountaineering team, they would definitely be shocked.

In this plateau area with an altitude of more than 3000 meters, the air is thin and hypoxic. Ordinary people will slow down when walking, and they will remove a lot of unnecessary weight on their bodies.

At this time, Su Xiaofan was not only carrying a big backpack that was about the same height as himself, but he was also walking like flying, and the harsh natural environment could not affect his speed at all.

After heading towards the mountains for about ten kilometers, Su Xiaofan saw the two off-road vehicles belonging to Shi Kai and the others. Obviously, the car could only drive so far, and had to walk in further.

After climbing over a hillside, Su Xiaofan followed the hillside to the back side. From a distance of [-] meters, Su Xiaofan could see that there were many gravels at the bottom of the slope.

[Stone Iron Meteorite: Cannot be absorbed! 】

[Martian Meteorite: Absorbable, is it absorbable? 】

[Weathered Rock: Cannot be absorbed! 】

[Red Gold Meteorite: Absorbable, can it be absorbed? 】

……

……

One piece of information passed through Su Xiaofan's mind. Su Xiaofan, who has long been accustomed to this kind of scene, quickly screened out the rare meteorites that could be absorbed.

"Three meteorites that can be absorbed!"

Su Xiaofan showed joy on his face, it seemed that it was the right time to enter the depths of the Ajin Mountains.

In the Gobi Desert, at most one or two rare meteorites could be found a day, how could it be like today, in less than one morning, Su Xiaofan got four absorbable rare meteorites.

"absorb!"

For the rare meteorites that can increase the repair value, Su Xiaofan has always been the first to absorb them.

[Repair value: 100 points! 】

[Repair value: 110 points! 】

[Repair value: 130 points! 】

The information that flashed through his mind showed that the three rare meteorites added 31 repair points to Su Xiaofan. After more than a month, Su Xiaofan's repair value finally exceeded [-] points.

Resisting the urge to cultivate the Great Zhou, Su Xiaofan continued to go deep into the mountains.

After several tests, Su Xiaofan found that he would lose control over his body by accumulating exercises, so obviously he couldn't do it in this harsh environment.

Su Xiaofan is not in a hurry, as long as he has enough repair value, he can cultivate several kinds of exercises to the extreme at any time after he goes out.

At this time, the Ajin Mountains are a huge treasure house in Su Xiaofan's eyes, and Su Xiaofan doesn't plan to go out unless he spends a few hundred repair points this time.

Moreover, Su Xiaofan discovered that, in fact, rare meteorites are not as rare as the outside world.

In hundreds of millions of years, it is unknown how many cosmic meteorites fell to the earth. In other words, the meteorites that fell on the earth are enough to cover the earth once.

It's just that with the passage of time and the changes in the earth's crust, most of these meteorites have been buried underground, and some have even become fossils.

What is exposed on the surface of the earth is only a very small part of the fallen meteorites. Since most of the rare meteorites are small in size, they are even more difficult to be discovered.

But the virgin land of the Ajin Mountains has never been visited by meteorite hunters. Even if only one billionth of the meteorites accumulated over countless years remain on the surface, Su Xiaofan can reap a lot of money.

However, in this kind of place, the psychological pressure is still quite high, especially the feeling of loneliness, which makes Su Xiaofan want to shout loudly from time to time, to spit out the stagnation in his chest.

"Ah...ah...ah..."

In this deserted place, I thought of it and did it naturally. After turning over a hill, Su Xiaofan yelled loudly, and the voice spread far away, echoing continuously in the valley.

"Boom!" Just after Su Xiaofan vented, there was a sudden roar in his ears, the sound was a little muffled, and when he looked up, Su Xiaofan couldn't help being stunned.

"Fuck, is this an avalanche?"

Looking at a mountain peak a few kilometers ahead, white snow rolled down from the highest point layer by layer. In almost a moment, some ground that had no snow before was covered by white snow.

"You can't shout loudly in this place!" Su Xiaofan shrunk his neck, fortunately this is no man's land, otherwise his voice would cause serious trouble.

……

But what Su Xiaofan didn't know was that his voice, not only didn't cause any trouble, but also helped Shi Kai, who had entered the mountain earlier, a big favor.

Poachers like Shi Kai and the others who specialize in high-end prey have a very detailed plan for every step.

For example, the time for them to enter the mountain was set in September, and the time for Costin to incubate the chicks happened to be July and August, and the current chicks were just born for about a month.

For young eagle falcons, they are very fragile when they are just born, and they will die easily. After more than one month after birth, their ability to survive will be greatly enhanced, and they will survive even with artificial feeding.

It is not easy to get a baby bird.

Because most of the eagle's nests are built on cliffs, it takes a lot of effort to climb up, especially in this plateau hypoxic zone, which is even more difficult.

During the more than ten days of entering the mountain, Shi Kai and others have locked a falcon's nest, which is on a cliff with a height of more than 70 meters, and there are two male and female falcons living in it.

Shi Kai placed their camp in a cave under the cliff.

It is said to be a cave, but it is actually a big rock crevice only five or six meters deep. Some big stones were found and built to make it a temporary residence that can accommodate several people.

In fact, the same is true for the falcon's nest above the head. It is a crack in the mountain, and the falcon has transformed it into its own nest. Except for the same kind, basically no beast can threaten them.

For the first three days, Shi Kai and others were observing the foraging patterns of adult falcons. On the second day, Shi Kai saw the young birds through the telescope.

This discovery immediately excited several people. Compared with unhatched eggs of falcons, the value of young birds is higher.

Speaking of people like Shi Kai, they can't be regarded as the kind of vicious poachers, they have their own rules.

For example, not to harm adult falcons is the rule set by Shi Kai, otherwise, with their marksmanship, it would be a breeze to kill two adult falcons.

Shi Kai understands the principle of catching fish when the water is exhausted, so he keeps two adult falcons, maybe they will have a chance to harvest again in the future.

So the brothers lived under the cliff, observing the regularity of the two adult falcons coming in and out every day.

In the first four or five days, perhaps because the young birds were too young, the adult females never left the nest, only the males went out to hunt.

It may be that the environment is too harsh, and the prey of the male bird is not very much. After six or seven days, the female bird also starts to go out.

After more than ten days of observation, Shi Kai figured out the regularity of the two birds going out. Every day from [-] am to [-] am, the two adult falcons would go out together.

The day Su Xiaofan entered the mountain was the time when Shi Kai and others were preparing to attack. The supplies they brought in were running out, and the oxygen was basically exhausted, so they had to exit the Ajin Mountains as soon as possible.

In the early morning, Shi Kai climbed to the top of the cliff from the other side of the hill, and fixed the rope on a huge rock.

Shi Kai was also extremely patient, enduring the low temperature of more than ten degrees below zero, and hid his body in the snow.

If it weren't for the high-tech clothes that can heat itself, he might have been frozen to death during the few hours of waiting.

Shi Kai waited until about eleven o'clock before landing from the top of the mountain to the eagle's nest, and the two adult falcons had already left.

A falcon with gray fluff all over its body, only slightly bigger than a chick, was lying on the eagle's nest, looking at Shi Kai vigilantly.

At this time, Shi Kai would be polite, and he was not afraid of being pecked by the young bird even though he was wearing gloves, so he was ready to put the young bird in the bag he had prepared.

In this place, the altitude is already more than 500 meters. Even though Shi Kai has a good physique, the bloated thermal clothing and the oxygen-deficient environment made his movements slow down.

The baby bird, which has been born for more than a month, can't fly yet, but it knows to hide deep in the gap, and Shi Kai's arm is not long enough, so he couldn't catch the little thing for a while.

To make matters worse, when Shi Kai was competing with the young bird, the adult female bird that went out to hunt today came back early for some reason.

Seeing that the old nest was taken up, the female bird was furious and began to attack Shi Kai frantically.

Although he had a helmet on his head, goggles on his face, and thick clothes on his body, Shi Kai, who knew the power of eagles and falcons, knew that he couldn't stop Hai Dongqing's attack at all.

In just a few seconds, the goggles on Shi Kai's face were pecked open by the sharp beak, almost hurting his eyes.

Those people at the bottom of the cliff were already stunned, the falcon almost jumped on Shi Kai's body to bite, they couldn't shoot at all.

At this moment, there was a sound of howling ghosts and wolves, and the snow on the top of the shaking cliff was loose and falling down.

There was an avalanche on the back of the cliff. Although only one side of the cliff was fine, a lot of snow also fell down. The snow covered the falcon's sight.

That is to say, taking advantage of the gap of falling snow, Shi Kai slid down quickly, and escaped a catastrophe.

But even so, the clothes on Shi Kai's back were all turned into strips of cloth by the eagle's sharp claws, and a piece of flesh was pecked off on his arm, making him look ashamed.

It can be said that the hunting operation of Shi Kai and others was a complete failure this time. They did not have much supplies left and could no longer consume them.

After this incident, the adult females would never come out of the nest again. Even if they wanted to kill, it would be very difficult for them to kill the two defensive falcons.

Shi Kai's trip was a heavy loss, because it cost him more than [-] yuan just to prepare supplies and rent vehicles, but he had to return empty-handed.

The few people who had worked as mercenaries abroad could be considered affordable. After dressing Shi Kai's wound, they started to evacuate.

A few kilometers away from Shi Kai and the others, Su Xiaofan naturally didn't know what happened to those brothers.

At this moment, Su Xiaofan was busy disembowelling a wild goat. This tiger cat dragged it from somewhere just now, and the goat was still hot after it died.

Su Xiaofan, who often helped adults butcher pigs and sheep in the countryside, did these things with ease. After finding the internal organs of the wild goat and buried them in the snow, Su Xiaofan stuffed a few seasoning packets from his backpack into the goat's belly.

Taking out a folded engineering shovel, Su Xiaofan dug a hole in the ground, then threw two pieces of solid fuel into it, found two stones and placed them on both sides of the hole, and a simple stove was ready.

He took out the cleaning rod in the engineer shovel, strung up the whole wild goat, put it directly on the stone, ignited the solid fuel, and the flames rushed up immediately.

Su Xiaofan took out another pot and put it next to the goat. After putting some snow in the pot, he threw a pure tablet into it and waited for the water to boil.

"Don't worry, eat it after it's baked."

Seeing Duobao eager to try, Su Xiaofan couldn't help laughing, took out a bottle of cooking oil, and brushed the surface of the scorched goat.

"I don't know if there is an explorer's certification in China, but I can get one when I go back."

Su Xiaofan took out his mobile phone and took a few photos. In fact, the scenery of no man's land is still very beautiful. The blue sky seems to be within reach, and the snow-capped peaks stand tall, giving people a very pure feeling.

Only such a no-man's land can maintain such a pure natural ecology.

After more than half an hour, the mutton that was constantly turning in Su Xiaofan's hands had turned yellow all over.

He took some cumin and sprinkled it on the mutton, the aroma of the roasted meat became more and more intense, he tore off a piece of meat and threw it to the tiger cat, Su Xiaofan simply tore off a leg of lamb and gnawed it.

Taking out a bottle of wine, one mouthful of mutton and one mouthful of wine, and with the tiger cat by his side, Su Xiaofan felt that these days didn't seem so sad.

"Huh? It's Shikai and the others?" Su Xiaofan, who was eating happily, suddenly twitched his ears, and he could hear the sound of footsteps coming from seven or eight hundred meters away.

Standing up and looking forward, the figures of Shi Kai and others appeared in Su Xiaofan's field of vision.

It's just that the situation of these brothers is not very good. Shi Kai was walked around with the support of two people, and there was another person behind him carrying their guns and other supplies.

"Brother Shi, what's going on? Are you in such a mess?"

Su Xiaofan got up to meet him, helped Shi Kai back to his barbecue place, looked at the bloodstains on Shi Kai's body, and said, "Let's have a sip of hot soup first."

In the boiling water just now, Su Xiaofan put a few pieces of mutton into it, and added some salt, it was like a pot of mutton soup.

It's useless for Su Xiaofan to be polite, the brothers looked at the hot soup, their eyes turned green, in order not to disturb the falcons for more than ten days, they didn't even dare to start a fire, they always ate compressed food and gnawed on ice cubes .

"Okay, you guys slow down, it's not that there is nothing." Seeing that a pot of soup was shared among several people, Su Xiaofan reluctantly made some clean snow and put it in the pot.

The mutton is enough to eat. This whole sheep weighs 30 to [-] catties, and there are more than [-] catties after removing the internal organs and bones.

Shi Kai and the others were also very hungry, they didn't stop until their belly was full of pain, and told Su Xiaofan roughly what happened just now.

"Brother Su, you were the one who yelled just now, right?"

After eating a warm meal, although Shi Kai was injured, his spirit had fully recovered.

"Ahem, Brother Shi, did you spoil your business?" Su Xiaofan was a little embarrassed, he thought it was his shout that provoked the falcon back.

"No, if it weren't for your shouting, I might not be able to come back."

Shi Kai shook his head, and said with lingering fear: "That Haidongqing is too powerful, if I stay a little longer, I'm afraid I'll be pecked to death by it, thanks to your shout..."

"It's fine if you don't ruin your business." Su Xiaofan smiled shyly, he didn't have any prejudice against these brothers, and there are not many people like them who behave like them now.

Although what these people do is not very legal, they are much better than other people who are trying to find a way out. Speaking of which, the goat that Su Xiaofan is roasting now is also a protected animal.

"Brother, do you want us to cooperate and take down that baby bird?"

Shi Kai, who had already lost his mind, started to think of a baby bird again after seeing Su Xiaofan.

"Forget it, Brother Shi, I'm not interested in your business."

Su Xiaofan shook his head, said with a smile: "I'm here to look for meteorites, not to catch birds, Brother Shi, please don't drag me into the water."

"Okay then, this time our brothers have admitted it."

Shi Kai gave a wry smile, suddenly remembered, and said to the people around him, "Hu Zi, where are the rocks we picked up these days? Show Brother Su, are they meteorites?"

"It's all here."

The man with the beard was the buddy who had been broken before. He opened the backpack and poured out more than ten stones.

"Let me see..." Su Xiaofan didn't pay much attention at first, but when he cast his gaze on those stones, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Fuck, Brother Shi, where did you find these meteorites?"

Su Xiaofan discovered that out of the dozen or so stones, six of them were rare meteorites, and one of them was the size of a baby's fist and weighed at least 200 grams.

Su Xiaofan had absorbed a piece of glass meteorite before, that meteorite weighed only 200 to 200 grams, which added [-] points of repair value to Su Xiaofan, and this piece was more than [-] grams, which represented more than [-] points of repair value.

"I picked it up in the valley below that cliff."

Seeing Su Xiaofan's ecstatic look, Shi Kai said: "I think these pieces look a bit like the ones in the picture you gave me, so I picked them all up, how about it? Is this a rare meteorite? Are these worth money?"

"Brother Shi, you are so lucky."

Su Xiaofan smiled wryly, and said, "I need six of your meteorites."

Su Xiaofan picked out the six meteorites, then put five of them into a pile, and said, "I'll give you 20 for these five meteorites."

In the past few days, he absorbed a lot of rare meteorites, and Su Xiaofan can roughly estimate the repair value provided by these meteorites. These five meteorites can add up to [-] to [-] points of repair value.

The glass meteorite that Su Xiaofan bought from his master before added 38 repair points to him, costing [-].

But the 38 is the auction price, the actual transaction must be less, Su Xiaofan's offer of 20 is not considered to take advantage of several people.

"This...these stones are worth so much money?"

Hearing Su Xiaofan's words, Shi Kai, Huzi and the others were a little dumbfounded. They were bored in the valley and wanted to pick up a few pieces to try their luck, but unexpectedly the pie really fell on their head.

"Well, rare meteorites are very valuable."

Su Xiaofan nodded, pointed at the largest glass meteorite, and said, "I'll give you 80 for this piece, and the total is 100 million. I wonder if you'll sell it or not?"

Hearing Su Xiaofan's quotation, these people were all stunned on the spot, a few broken stones are worth 100 million, and they are still desperately trying to steal some falcon.

"Well, brother Su, can I ask, is there a big difference between the price you gave and the meteorite when you sell it?"

After calming down for a while, Shi Kai said coyly: "Brother Su, I'll sell it to you, and I just want to know the real price. In the future, we brothers will stop poaching and become meteorite hunters."

Poaching itself is risky, and it's still illegal. I live in fear all day long, but now Su Xiaofan's words show a few people a way to get rich.

"Brother Shi, let me tell you the truth, there are very few people collecting meteorites in China, and you may not be able to sell them if you take them out."

Su Xiaofan paused for a moment, then continued: "If you take this item to auction abroad, the price will be a little higher than what I paid, but after deducting the auction commission and publicity fees, etc., the price you get is the same as what I offered. almost."

"Well, brother Su, I believe you, these meteorites will be sold to you!"

Shi Kai was a very decisive person, so he immediately pushed those meteorites in front of Su Xiaofan and said, "Don't worry about the money, give it to us after you go out."

"Brother Shi, brothers, I haven't finished talking yet."

A smile appeared on Su Xiaofan's face, and he said, "The 100 million I said is not RMB, but the dollar, which is 100 million dollars!"

"Beautiful? Beautiful knife?"

If they were just shocked by the high price of the meteorite before, now it was as if a bolt from the blue had exploded above their heads, directly stunned the brothers.

They used to earn US dollars overseas, so they naturally know the exchange rate between US dollars and RMB. One million US dollars is equal to sixty-seven million RMB. They have to catch at least three or four falcon juveniles to sell at this price.

"I'm a businessman, so I can't make a mistake."

Seeing the shocked expressions of several people, Su Xiaofan couldn't help laughing. In fact, even if it was 100 million RMB, Su Xiaofan could buy all these meteorites.

It's not that Su Xiaofan has a lot of money, and he is in a hurry to give money to Shi Kai and others, but the character of these brothers makes Su Xiaofan very recognized.

After listening to the narration of several people, Su Xiaofan knew that if they had killed the adult falcon with one shot, they would have brought their young birds out of the mountain long ago.

Shi Kai and the others did not do this, which means that they are people who respect the rules, and Su Xiaofan is willing to respect the rules with them.

Another point is, if these brothers really become meteorite hunters, it will save Su Xiaofan a lot of time and effort. After all, there is far more than one no-man's land in the country, and Su Xiaofan will have no skills to run all over.

There are not many meteorite collectors in China, and Su Xiaofan believes that there are not many people who can afford it. If Shi Kai and the others find rare meteorites, there is a high probability that they will sell them to themselves.

This is equivalent to Su Xiaofan training a team to collect rare meteorites for himself. Those who dare to poach in uninhabited areas with harsh natural environments, Su Xiaofan believes that their ability to find meteorites will not be bad.

"Sold! Sold!"

Shi Kai's excited blood rushed to his face, his face flushed red, Su Xiaofan quickly patted his shoulder, afraid that this buddy's blood vessels might burst.

"Huzi, brothers, we will do this in the future, hurry up, thank you Brother Su!"

Shi Kaiying didn't catch the falcon, and thought that he would lose all his money this time, and more than [-] yuan would be in vain.

Unexpectedly, it was not bright in the east and bright in the west, but in the end it was because a few stones made a lot of money. They were so excited that they didn't know what to say. Shi Kai even yelled out his eldest brother.
