Chapter 220 The Disappearing Cold Light Stone
"I said Brother Tao, where are you going in such a hurry?"

On a small road, a dozen or so young people surrounded two men. The leader was a smiling young man with a cropped cut, who was the lingering Wu Fan.

Seeing this guy, Zhang Tao immediately felt bad in his heart.

He had noticed something was wrong before, and felt that Wu Fan was only thinking about himself, so he called Bai Mo to run quickly, but it was still too late, and the two of them were caught up by this group of people before they ran for long.

Although he was worried in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face. He held the ore wrapped in cotton clothes in his arms, and said with a wry smile: "There is something wrong with the Hansheng mine, and the mine can't be dug for the time being. Go home, it's not safe to stay outside."

"It's broad daylight, what's so unsafe?" Wu Fan held an electronic cigarette in his mouth, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, "I also said that I would go back with Brother Tao, who knew you ran away?" So fast, I almost couldn't catch up."

Zhang Tao sighed slightly and shook his head: "After all, it is different now. Who can tell the danger in the buffer zone, I dare not wander around."

"makes sense……"

Wu Fan nodded in agreement, "But are you really worried about the danger in the buffer zone? Why do I feel...you seem to be avoiding me?"

His voice was a little gloomy.

At the same time, his younger brothers also showed unkind faces, and surrounded Bai and Mo, feeling full of oppression.

Zhang Tao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Why am I hiding from you when I have nothing to do?"

Wu Fan licked his lips, his eyes fell on the clothes in Zhang Tao's arms, and he said slowly: "Maybe you have something to do?"

Zhang Tao's heart sank.

This guy really found out...he came for the ore.

It was clear that Zhang Tao and Wu Fan didn't have a deep friendship, but the other party didn't check carefully the ore in his arms before, and even showed enthusiasm towards him. This behavior was quite abnormal, which made him suspicious.

He soon realized that this was only done to dissuade other people, so that he could bring someone over alone to intercept and reduce competitors.

"Xiaofan, what are you saying..."

"Brother Tao, you don't have to pretend to be confused with me, it's boring." Wu Fan put the electronic cigarette in his mouth and directly interrupted Zhang Tao's words.

"Although I didn't dig a lot of mines, I can still tell if it's not iron ore, and I can see it very clearly. The thing in your arms is square. Where is the iron ore? It's clearly the same as the glowing piece Stones are the same thing!"

Zhang Tao unconsciously hugged the cotton-padded coat in his arms, and soon relaxed, and said with a confused face: "But it's really just iron ore. Anyone who dares to approach that glowing stone becomes a 'sculpture'. Where can I get it?"

"Brother Tao, let's not talk about those nonsense. I am a bad person, but I know you are a good person, and you have helped me before, so I won't make things difficult for you. I will take you this time as a It is a protection fee, and I will never take it from you in the future, okay?"

Hearing this, Bai Mo on the side shook his head inwardly. It's interesting to start a fire, and it's so nice to talk about grabbing things.

Wu Fan patted his chest, and continued: "Don't worry, I have already warned those other guys, they won't come to trouble you."

As he spoke, he patted Zhang Tao's shoulder lightly, then grabbed the cotton coat from the latter's hand and lifted it off.

Although Zhang Tao didn't want to let go, but the opponent's eyes were full of threats, so he had to give up.

Seeing this, all of Wu Fan's bored younger brothers suddenly cheered up and rushed over, intending to see Qizhen's true face.

"Stay away, don't die? What if this thing is dangerous, let me try it myself first!"

Wu Fan looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and hurriedly kept the others away, and his breathing became a little short.

After all, where have people like them seen any rare treasures before, and the luminous ore is the rarest thing they have ever seen. It is like opening a blind box at this moment, how can they not be excited?
However, when the padded jacket was lifted, everyone was stunned, including the extremely nervous Zhang Tao.

The air was silent for half a minute, and time seemed to freeze.

I saw that apart from the two zhaoshi in the cotton-padded coat, the remaining black stone was actually just a piece of iron ore, but it had a characteristic, that is, it was square as a whole, as if it had been polished the day after tomorrow.

Wu Fan opened his eyes wide in an instant and blurted out a dirty word: "Fuck, how is it possible?"

Although he fishes on weekdays, it is true that he can't even distinguish the iron ore, so he has long been careful, planning to bring someone over to quietly "take away" the ore while no one is paying attention.

However, when he discovered that the black stone in front of him was actually just iron ore, he suddenly fell into self-doubt.

A younger brother didn't believe in evil, so he immediately stepped forward to break open the ore and observed it carefully.

The ore in the Hansheng Mine is quite strange, perhaps due to the influence of extraordinary power, there is a big difference between the color of the body surface and the color of the inside, so the miners can only make judgments based on experience, although the surface of their common iron ore is black Yes, but it can also be faked.

However, the younger brother looked at it for a long time, and there was no doubt that there was iron ore under the black skin, so he could only shake his head, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

Not to mention other people, even Zhang Tao was dumbfounded at this time, of course he knew that the cold stone in the cotton coat, how could it suddenly turn into iron ore?
Suddenly, as if realizing something, he turned his head and looked at Bai Mo who had been silent by his side.

I saw the latter's face was calm, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Vaguely, he seemed to understand something, so he shook his head and sighed: "Xiaofan, I told you that this is iron ore, why don't you believe it?"

"Impossible, how could the iron ore have such a regular shape?" Wu Fan asked loudly.

"How do I know this?"

Zhang Tao shrugged, "Actually, I brought it out because of its special shape, otherwise I would have chosen Zhaoshi, which is more valuable."

It has to be said that Zhang Tao's psychological quality is really strong, and he quickly found a reason not to say it, but this reason can't find any faults.

Wu Fan asked himself, if it were him, if he saw a piece of ore with a special shape, he would pay more attention to it, maybe he would discover some secrets?
However, it turns out that this is a useless iron ore.

He stared at Zhang Tao's face, as if he wanted to see something from the other's expression, but he was disappointed, the other's expression didn't look like he was telling a lie.

In the end, he sighed deeply, and said: "I was negligent this time, and I didn't expect to run away... But Brother Tao, don't worry, I keep my word, and this piece of iron ore will be your protection fee." , A mouthful of saliva and a nail, I will never embarrass you again in the future!"

After saying that, he asked someone to pick up the iron ore, not even letting go of the leftovers just dropped, and was about to leave cursing.

Zhang Tao was taken aback, good guy, this guy is really a thief, he won't let go of even a piece of iron ore?

But to be honest, compared with other small groups, Wu Fan is indeed more disciplined, he will only take away a piece of ore from others at most, unlike other people, the mantra is "everything is here, it is better to take it all away" .

Zhang Tao thought for a moment, then suddenly stopped Wu Fan.

Wu Fan stopped, tilted his head and turned around, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, is there anything dissatisfied with Brother Tao?"

"No, I just want to remind you of something."

Zhang Tao glanced at Bai Mo beside him calmly, and seeing that he didn't respond, he felt relieved and said, "There may be something wrong with the Hansheng Mine. I suggest you don't dig any further."

Wu Fan was taken aback: "Why?"

Zhang Tao said: "Think about it, as soon as that luminous stone appeared, several people were recruited, and it became almost like a sculpture. I don't know whether it is dead or alive. If one day digs more of that kind of stone... "

He paused for a moment, "So until we figure out what that kind of stone is, we'd better not continue mining."

The reason why Zhang Tao didn't remind everyone about the danger of Hansheng Mine was because of this moment.

He guessed that Wu Fan might have his own ideas, but the other party knew where his home was, and he couldn't run away, so he deliberately left this important information, intending to use it in exchange for dealing with the crisis at a critical moment.

Who knows that the crisis did not appear...

Wu Fan on the opposite side immediately showed a thoughtful expression, as if he was seriously weighing this suggestion.

The buffer zone has never been peaceful, and what the other party said is not necessarily alarmist.

While thinking, he suddenly saw Zhang Tao furtively winking at him. He was stunned for a moment, and then approached suspiciously.

Zhang Tao clung to his ear and said in a low voice, "I know one thing. The light from the stone is dangerous. Eating warm candy can relieve it."

Wu Fan was startled, and whispered, "Really?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be able to leave the mine."

Hearing this, Wu Fan's complexion changed again and again, then his eyes rolled suddenly, and he laughed.

He patted Zhang Tao on the shoulder and said, "Brother Tao, since you are so righteous in telling me such information, then I will also tell you a piece of news."

He looked at Bai Mo at the side, and then said in a low voice, "I heard that someone is planning on your sister."

Zhang Tao's expression froze, and he hurriedly asked, "Who?"

"I don't know who it is, but it seems to be people from the gathering place near the Hansheng Mine. I only heard it by chance."

"Why my sister?"

"why?"

Wu Fan smiled and shook his head, "Your sister is probably one of the few people around here who have not yet formed a relationship, and she is so beautiful. To be honest, if I don't like to force others, I would also like to enter Boundless City, your sister I've already taken it."

He spoke bluntly, but the corners of Bai Mo's mouth twitched. He still hasn't forgotten what he saw last night, so it doesn't seem like it's something you love and I want...

Looking to the side, Zhang Tao's complexion became extremely gloomy: "You mean, someone wants to force Rouzhu to become a couple with him?"

"Maybe, it's not like you don't know those guys by the mine. Once the conditions were good, they feel that they can be lazy now. They are so close to the Hansheng mine that they don't want to do it."

Wu Fan looked disdainful, "I can more or less guess what they are thinking, as long as you get your sister, you can get some food every month regardless of the golden couple."

Zhang Tao clenched his fists and continued to ask, "Where did you hear about this?"

"In the past few days, I heard someone asking if there are any single women nearby, and your sister was mentioned. She has been going out more frequently recently, and it must have been seen by those people."

Zhang Tao frowned.

He knew that in today's troubled times, it was difficult to guarantee the safety of women, especially beautiful women.

Therefore, Rou Zhu seldom goes out on weekdays, but recently, because of the need to take care of Bai Mo's injury, she went out to look for medicinal materials a few times, unexpectedly, she happened to be noticed.

This might be a hassle...

Although with the joint efforts of the council and Huang Quan, the order in the buffer zone is far from broken, after all, the Emperor Shan Gao is far away, and many safe areas are too busy to take care of themselves. How can they care about the buffer zone?
Power has become more important than ever, and that's why so many people crave the Rare.

Feeling worried, Zhang Tao couldn't help but think of what Bai Mo said before... If he can really become a practitioner, then it's not a big deal at all.

The starting level of a cultivator is D-level, officially stepping into the "inhuman" level, and even ordinary pistol bullets can be avoided, let alone a group of guys who can't even reach E-level.

A trace of anticipation rose in his heart.

After Wu Fan finished telling the news he knew, he didn't choose to stay any longer, and soon left with others.

He was in a hurry, as if he was thinking about how to use the important information he had just obtained to maximize his benefits.

...and this is what Zhang Tao wants.

He is well aware of Wu Fan's temperament, and it is very likely that he will sell the information on the value of warm candy as a commodity, and may even sell a batch of warm candy at a high price.

And this is tantamount to indirectly reminding everyone that there is an anomaly in the Hansheng Mine.

The most important point is that as a source of information, he will not be exposed to the public's sight, and can guarantee the safety of himself and Bai Wu to a certain extent.

Not only that, this move can also win Wu Fan's favor. It's not a bad thing to have a good relationship with local snakes, at least you won't be embarrassed.

If it weren't for Zhang Tao's "goodwill", Wu Fan would not have told him about Rou Zhu.

He sighed slightly, turned his head to look to the side, from Wu Fan's arrival to his departure, Bai Mo remained silent during the whole process, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing that Wu Fan and the others really walked away, Zhang Tao withdrew his thoughts and asked in a low voice, "Brother Bai, how did you do it?"

Bai Mo knew what he wanted to ask, and replied, "I didn't do anything."

"Didn't do anything? How could the cold light stone..." Zhang Tao was taken aback.

"In fact, the essence of cold light stone is a kind of iron ore, and its value is not low, but its most precious part lies in the cold light it radiates."

"What about the light, where did the light go?"

"I was absorbed by you." Bai Mo said lightly.

Zhang Tao was dumbfounded: "Then why didn't you say it earlier? Didn't I come up without the stone if I said it earlier? I'm still scared..."

"You didn't ask."

Bai Mo shook his head, "The iron in cold light stone is different from ordinary iron ore, and it also has a higher value."

"But this is not something you should consider at the moment. Smelting that thing requires technology. If it is taken away, take it away."

Zhang Tao was silent for a while, hesitant to speak, and then said after a while: "Then... the matter of becoming a practitioner..."

Although he didn't know well, he still couldn't help asking again under the pressure of the news he just received.

"Don't rush, this needs to be done slowly."

Bai Mo stretched his waist, "You should worry about another thing first."
