Qin Siyang piloted the drill cabin, circling nonstop around the place where that trace of bright light had flashed.
As the sequence potion was gradually exhausted, the drill cabin also came to a stop.
Qin Siyang controlled the distance, letting the drill cabin stop about a hundred meters away from the glow.
Then he got down from the drill cabin alone and locked it.
Hu Chan slapped the glass from inside the drill cabin, "I haven't gotten out yet! I haven't gotten down yet! Open the lock!"
Qin Siyang, punching his way forward, said, "I drove the drill cabin here and discovered a trace of light. So this is my own opportunity, it has nothing to do with you."
"I ****, you ****"
This was the first time Qin Siyang had ever heard Hu Chan curse.
He had thought the Holy Son wouldn't curse.
Only now did he know, not only could he curse, but his curses were pretty filthy.
The Holy Son has a mother, but seldom asks about her, only not yet at the time to ask about her.
To prevent Hu Chan from seeing anything, even when opening up the road Qin Siyang went about it in a crooked, twisting way.
After activating [Violence], Qin Siyang became like an underground miner, digging forward at high speed.
BOOM!
Another punch blasted out.
The violent fist wind not only shattered the rock ahead but also brought out some tiny crystal fragments, glittering under the searchlight installed on his forehead armor.
Qin Siyang opened his visor, picked up a fragment of crystal, and studied it carefully.
Its surface was uneven, its subtle irregular shape giving it a primitive beauty. From different angles, the ore's colors seemed to flow endlessly.
The ore's surface displayed a dazzling luster. The beam of the searchlight refracted against its uneven surface, producing brilliant radiance, like sunlight dancing on the sea.
Even more captivating was the world inside the ore. Through the semi-transparent surface, one could see the layered blue crystal structures within.
White or gray impurities dotted the ore, perfectly encased within the blue crystals. These impurities resembled stars, scattered against a deep blue background like a night sky.
Qin Siyang used his phone to take a picture, letting it identify what kind of ore this was.
[Blue Water Glazed Ore (Suspected)]
[An extremely rare ore, only slightly less rare than the Heart of Vines. Specific use unknown, but stronger Hunting God Tool researchers, such as Zhong Dingming, Duan Changhong, Gao Bohan, Ma Shi, and others, are all extremely passionate about this ore.]
[Note: Blue Water Glazed Ore is a required material for Lu Daoxing.]
Qin Siyang looked at the annotation from Chang Tianxiang and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He had listed a whole string of strong Hunting God Tool professors, of the four names, Qin Siyang had heard three, yet deliberately left out Lu Daoxing.
Then, in the notes, Chang Tianxiang added Lu Daoxing's name.
Just how much did Professor Chang look down on Professor Lu?
As for the words [Suspected] after Blue Water Glazed Ore, Qin Siyang didn't take them seriously.
Probably because of the lighting, the picture wasn't clear.
Anyway, the identification software didn't give any other option. Nine times out of ten it was Blue Water Glazed Ore.
Since Professor Lu needed it, he might as well bring it back for him.
This Blue Water Glazed Ore, unlike the previous Yellow-Silver Ore, wasn't one big lump.
It was dispersed crystals that needed to be mined carefully.
And the Blue Water Glazed Ore wasn't very hard. If Qin Siyang punched it directly, it would turn into powder.
He had to wait for his [Violence] to end before using normal fists to open the way and collect them.
He collected while packing them into the storage box.
Qin Siyang first collected around the edges of the Blue Water Glazed Ore, then gradually pushed toward the center.
Since the value of the Blue Water Glazed Ore wasn't certain, he was being extra careful.
Maybe right now it had no real market.
But even if at present it was only useful to a handful of professors' research, what if in the future other potentials were discovered? Wouldn't it then become valuable?
Even valueless Yellow-Silver Ore he carried away in whole chunks, let alone these Blue Water Glazed Ores.
Qin Siyang thoroughly enjoyed the process of collecting.
It felt like watching the numbers in his bank account rise one line at a time.
Sweet satisfaction in his heart.
When he collected to the very middle, finally it was no longer scattered pieces.
It was a giant Blue Water Glazed Ore about the same size as his body.
"At last, a big one!"
Just as Qin Siyang was about to dig it out and put it into the storage box, he suddenly froze.
Because he suddenly noticed that inside this piece of Blue Water Glazed Ore, there was something else.
Through the blue shimmer, Qin Siyang observed carefully.
But he still couldn't clearly see what it was.
Fragments scattered and embedded within the ore, having turned into the same blue as the Blue Water Glazed Ore itself.
If one didn't look closely, they would surely think it was just part of the ore.
"Inside the ore, why are there still some strange substances?", Qin Siyang didn't give it much attention.
He put this ore into the storage box as well.
Once back in the safe zone, he'd ask Old Li and the others what they thought.
After collecting all the ore clean, Qin Siyang carefully checked around himself.
Confirming there were no leftover Blue Water Glazed fragments that could give him away, he returned to the drill cabin.
Hu Chan glared at Qin Siyang with resentment but said nothing.
Qin Siyang poured another bottle of sequence potion into the fuel chamber, activated the drill cabin, and started heading toward the safe zone.
After that bottle of potion was spent, they were still sixty kilometers underground from the safe zone.
Just as Qin Siyang was about to suggest stopping here, Hu Chan spoke first, "Qin Siyang, let me say this up front, you absolutely can't leave me this far out."
"It's too dangerous here."
Qin Siyang had no choice but to pour three more bottles of sequence potion into the fuel chamber, driving the drill cabin to within a dozen kilometers of the safe zone.
"Alright, a dozen kilometers. Shouldn't be a problem now, right, Holy Son?"
"The distance isn't the issue, but you should at least surface! We're still underground. How am I supposed to get out?"
Qin Siyang shook his head, "There might be people here. I can't surface with the drill cabin."
"What? Don't tell me you expect me to dig my way up?"
"That's what I was considering. We're only forty meters from the surface. Climbing out shouldn't be that big of a problem for you."
"Qin Siyang! Who does that! You should think about others too, right? I'm the Holy Son after all, if someone saw me crawling out of the ground…"
Before he could finish, Hu Chan's eyes were suddenly covered by two enticing pieces of emerald green.
Qin Siyang's fingers pinched two inner-leaf fragments of Titan Grass.
"This trip was troublesome for you. I'll give you double the payment."
The green glow flushed Hu Chan's cheeks, red through green, green through red.
He took the two Titan Grass fragments, nodded solemnly to Qin Siyang.
"Boss Qin, next time there's a job like this, just come to me!"
"But if you crawl out of the ground and someone sees you, won't that be a problem?"
Hu Chan swiped his palm across his face, instantly turning into the appearance of a middle-aged uncle.
"Boss Qin, you forgot, I can disguise myself!"
Qin Siyang smiled faintly.
"The Holy Son truly is a hero among heroes."
