Chapter 210 Dinosaur Fossils
Chapter 210 Dinosaur Fossils
At the critical moment, Di Xing materialized Youyou. Youyou's soft body was flattened by the ore, but it immediately bounced up, sending the huge ore flying more than a meter high.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the lion crystal rushed out, and the group finally left the mine safely.
"Waaaah, I tried so hard to avoid it, but you still hugged me. I'm not clean anymore!" Little Red cried, her face contorted with grief.
"Is this the time to talk about these things?" Di Xing complained. "Wait, what's that over there?"
Di Xing hurriedly deactivated the materialization of the Lion Crystal.
At the entrance of another abandoned mine, a group of people stood holding torches, with a burly old man in the center.
Di Xing was too far away to hear them talking, but he could faintly hear Long Ying crying, so he hurriedly ran over.
The burly old man slapped the person in front of him without hesitation.
"Fool! Young Master Gouqie wants complete dinosaur fossils. If you use explosives like this, even if there are fossils inside, they'll be shattered."
"I'm so sorry, Lord Mo."
"That's Old Mo, the manager of the burial mine. He's supposedly very powerful," Xiao Hong whispered.
At this moment, Long Ying rushed over and hugged the old man's legs.
"Master, please save Xing Yi! His arm is injured and covered in blood. Please save him!"
Old Mo looked at Long Ying coldly.
"We have no obligation to treat his illness."
"But...but he was injured while planting the explosives for you!"
"Your contract clearly states that you are solely responsible for any injuries you sustain at this mine, including workplace injuries."
"How...how could this be?"
Then Lao Mo glanced at the person kneeling on the ground and said, "Pi San, give him your wine so he can disinfect it. After all, you believed him and brought him here to dig for dinosaur fossils."
"Yes, yes," the kneeling thug hurriedly replied, but at the same time he glared fiercely at Xing Yi, who was lying on the ground in agony, and reluctantly pulled a wine bottle from his pocket and placed it on the ground.
"Alright, let's go."
Then Old Mo led his people away without looking back.
Seeing Lao Mo leave, Pi San reached for the wine and cast an aggressive glare at Long Ying and the other woman.
Just then, Di Xing and the others arrived. "Ah, isn't that Lord Mo?"
Seeing that someone else was coming, Pi San had no choice but to stand up angrily and leave as well.
Upon seeing Di Xing arrive, Long Ying cried and hugged his leg tightly, crying, "Big brother, Xing Yi, Xing Yi, he..."
"What's wrong with Xing Yi?" Di Xing asked anxiously, looking at Xing Yi.
He was clutching his left arm, groaning in pain, his body covered in blood, even his black hair was stained red with blood.
"That person said he'd give ten gold coins if anyone found dinosaur fossils. Xing Yi had seen similar stones in an abandoned mine before, so he told the person. The person then told him to go dig at night with explosives, but the explosives were faulty; they detonated shortly after being lit, and Xing Yi was seriously injured in the blast."
Di Xing hurriedly tore the burlap clothes into strips and tied them around Xing Yi's arm to stop the bleeding. Then he unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle and said, "Xing Yi, it will hurt a little, you have to bear with it."
Xing Yi nodded with difficulty.
Then, Di Xing poured the wine onto his wound.
"Ah!" Xing Yi screamed, but he held on and did not faint.
"Well done!" Di Xing encouraged Xing Yi.
......
"Old Mo, let's get a doctor to take a look at that child tomorrow."
"Young Master, you..."
"What? Worried I don't have enough money? My monthly allowance is enough to buy dozens of this kid's lives."
"No, it's probably because you studied on the third floor that you have some idealistic ideas."
"Are you trying to say I'm kind? What's wrong with that? Anyway, my two older brothers are the ones doing the bad stuff."
Gou Qie chuckled and said, "Let me accumulate some good karma for the Gou family. Ah, there's really nothing I can do, I'm just that kind."
"Yes!" Old Mo said respectfully.
......
After providing very limited emergency treatment to Xing Yi, Di Xing sent him back to the tent area.
The other miners also stood up and surrounded Xing Yi, looking at him with concern.
Seeing little Xingyi's pitiful state, Di Xing's hands were almost bleeding from clenching them.
"Everyone, is it really okay for us to just let them bully us like this?" Di Xing said slowly.
"What can we do? We're unarmed."
"That's right."
"It's already a miracle we survived; if we resisted, we'd all die."
"Blame the child for being greedy."
"Is this how you talk?" Di Xing said angrily. "He's earning money to save his dean, and can you guarantee that what happened to him won't happen to you?"
"No," the old man, who had been beaten during the day, said tremblingly. "Last year alone, more than a dozen people died because of substandard explosives, and another dozen died from exhaustion."
"So, you can live by not resisting?" Di Xing questioned.
"But...but we don't have any weapons."
"We still have shovels, don't we?" roared Da Chun, the burly man wielding the lost goblin. "Let's fight them!"
“No,” Di Xing said calmly. “We need a plan.”
As Di Xing watched the guard yawning in the distance as he was being replaced to carry excrement, a plan formed in his mind.
......
Just as the guard was yawning and fantasizing about finding someone to appraise the stone he'd gotten during the day, the sharp-eyed young man from earlier that day came back, this time carrying a small stone.
"Sir, do you see a claw-like thing inside this rock? Is it the dinosaur fossil that Young Master Gouqie wants?"
Upon hearing this, the guard immediately perked up, hurriedly took the stone, and examined it; indeed, it resembled a claw.
Where did you find it?
"It's inside the mine. A little way in from the mine entrance, there was an explosion that caused a collapse. One of the rocks had this pattern, but unfortunately it was too big for me to carry."
The guard was overjoyed and followed Di Xing to the rock in the mine. Seeing the dinosaur fossil that Di Xing had just ordered Lion Crystal to dig out of the abandoned mine, the guard was ecstatic.
He wished he could carry the stone to Old Mo right now, but the stone was too heavy, so he had no choice but to run to Old Mo to report the good news.
Soon, Old Mo led another group of people here.
Old Mo said fiercely to the guard, "This is the second time I've been disturbed today. If you're lying, I won't let you get away with this!"
"Don't worry, I've checked it with my own eyes."
The two walked into the mine while talking. Old Mo walked up to the fossil, squatted down, and examined it carefully.
"Indeed, this is a dinosaur fossil! You! You did a great job, I'll go right now..."
However, before Old Mo could finish speaking, a violent explosion occurred at the mine entrance.
It was Di Xing who commanded the Lion Crystal to attack the supporting pillars at the mine entrance.
