"It seems that this is an unknown mineral. Maybe it's very useful, or maybe it's just as valuable as an ordinary metal," Ye Chenshan said with some regret when he saw the information on the scanner.
Fan Ganglie smiled bitterly. In these unknown space cracks, they often encountered such unknown metal substances or strange plants. These things had been studied by the Federation. If they were found to be extremely valuable, they would make a lot of money. Even their names would be recorded in the textbooks of ordinary schools and be immortalized for generations. However, if they were useless, then they would be working for nothing.
"Maybe it's something useful. We can collect some and take a look at it," Luo Guxue suggested.
Everyone nodded. Usually, when they encountered unknown substances, they would collect some specimens and bring them back. If it was useful, they could come back and transport it.
"Everyone …" Su Ping opened his mouth. If they took the stone back and handed it to the Federation, his hundred energy assessment fee would be wasted. Also, the Nether Stone wouldn't fall into his hands. Although he would be compensated with merit points, most of the compensation wouldn't be of equal value except for demolition.
Seeing that Su Ping had something to say, everyone looked at him.
Su Ping's expression was very calm. "Can you give this to me?"
They were surprised. Ye Chenshan and Fan Ganglie's eyes flashed. If no one wanted an item, no one would care. However, if someone wanted it, then it must be valuable.
Su Ping saw the strange look in their eyes. He knew that once he opened his mouth, they would all pay attention to this item. However, there was nothing he could do. Fortunately, they didn't know what it was, and neither did the Federation. Otherwise, the scanner wouldn't have failed to scan it.
If the Federation didn't know, then in the eyes of ordinary people, he naturally wouldn't know its value.
"You want it?" Fan Ganglie looked at Su Ping in confusion. "Do you know what this is?"
Su Ping shook his head. "I don't know, but my pet has sensed the energy of the undead from the stone. The stone contains undead energy, which is perfect for my pet's cultivation. If you're willing, why don't you stay here with me for a few days so that my pet can absorb all the energy in the stone before going back?"
His words were half true and half false. Even if the people present later found the same thing and handed it to the Federation and were appraised by the Federation, there would be no flaws in his words. At that time, they could only admit that they were blind and would not blame him.
Su Ping's words enlightened them. Of all the people present, Su Ping was the only one who had a pet of the undead family. No wonder he could sense that something was wrong.
However, the fact that they had to stay here for a few days made them hesitate.
This was the deepest part of the space crack, and they had just encountered an eighth-grade monster like the Magical Corpse Beast. If they stayed here any longer, who knew what else they would encounter?
After Su Ping finished speaking, he asked Little Skeleton to reach out and touch the stone to absorb the undead energy inside. The reason for doing this was not that he really wanted to absorb the entire Nether Stone here, but to dispel the suspicions of those who were suspicious. If no one was suspicious, then there was no harm in doing this.
Seeing Little Skeleton extract the dark energy from the stone, the last trace of doubt in Ye Chenshan and Lin Mokong's eyes disappeared. Previously, they were keenly aware that there was something wrong with Su Ping's words. Although there was no flaw in his words, Su Ping saying that he wanted to stay for a few days made them feel suspicious.
Did Su Ping not know what it meant to stay here for a few days?
Therefore, they felt that Su Ping deliberately said this in order to make them suggest to go back early, and at the same time, let Su Ping take the stone back and slowly absorb it. In this way, the stone would fall into Su Ping's hands. Since Su Ping was trying so hard to get this stone, naturally, it meant that this was not a simple stone that contained undead energy, but a treasure of great value.
Although the possibility of this was very low, after all, the Federation's instruments had not scanned it. It was almost impossible for Su Ping to know, but there was always a chance. Besides, Su Ping had always been very mysterious. They could not see through his background. Perhaps he knew some secrets that they did not know.
However, at this moment, after seeing Little Skeleton extract the undead energy from the stone with their own eyes, the doubt in their hearts completely disappeared. They knew that they were overthinking. This was just a stone that contained undead energy.
Although this kind of stone was extremely precious to undead creatures, to them, it could only be used to exchange for merit points.
In other space rifts, they had also encountered stones that contained fire energy, ice energy, and other rich elements. Some could be exchanged for more merit points, some could be exchanged for less merit points, some could be exchanged for more merit points, some could be exchanged for more merit points, some could be exchanged for more merit points, some could be exchanged for more merit points, some could be exchanged for more merit points, some could only be exchanged for a third or fourth rank beast.
After all, Su Ping had helped them a lot this time, and he was strong. Naturally, they were not stupid enough to compete with Su Ping for the merit points in front of them.
After everything was settled, Fan Ganglie asked the Blood Fox to follow by his side and officially returned.
On the way back, Li Ying was still scouting in front, and Ye Chenshan also summoned a scout pet to do double detection.
Along the way, they avoided powerful Astral Pets, and killed the weaker ones directly. The most dangerous time was when they went down the mountain, they encountered a low-position eighth-rank insect beast, but with the help of Little Skeleton, the Magical Corpse Beast, and the Holy Flame Bird, they killed it quickly.
A few hours later, Su Ping and the others arrived at the outer edge of the space rift. Most of the Astral Pets in this area were fifth or sixth-rank, and even seventh-rank ones were rare. Of course, there were also places where eighth-rank Astral Pets were hiding, so they could not be careless.
When they saw the space rift floating in front of them, their tense bodies relaxed a little, and they unconsciously sped up.
There were other explorers gathering near the space rift. When the ground shook and they saw the Magical Corpse Beast running toward them, many of them were scared out of their wits. If it weren't for the person sitting on the back of the Magical Corpse Beast, they would have run away directly.
When the Magical Corpse Beast jumped into the space rift and left, the explorers finally realized what was going on.
"Am I seeing things? Is that an eighth-rank Magical Corpse Beast?"
"Oh my god, riding on a Magical Corpse Beast? Who is that?"
"There's someone in there. I think it's Ye Chenshan."
"Ye Chenshan? That Ye Chenshan from Team Polaris? Is that their captain's mount? "
…
After coming out of the space rift, Su Ping landed in the temporary camp in the barren area. As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard the exclamations around him. There were more explorers gathered here, and they were all frightened by the Magical Corpse Beast under Su Ping's butt.
Fan Ganglie and the others smiled bitterly. A mount like the Magical Corpse Beast was indeed much better than the Rock Lizards that explorers usually used.
Seeing the figure on the Magical Corpse Beast, the soldiers and guards were relieved. They knew that it wasn't a beast that had rushed out of the space rift.
"Let's go." Su Ping didn't stay for long and ordered the Magical Corpse Beast to leave.
The explorers in front of the Magical Corpse Beast hurried to get out of the way. They looked up at the people on the Magical Corpse Beast with awe in their eyes.
Some of them recognized Fan Ganglie, while others recognized Ye Chenshan. For a moment, all kinds of surprised comments were heard.
The Magical Corpse Beast's body shook the ground as it ran out of the temporary camp.
After arriving at the barren area, the explorers became alert again. Although this was not the space rift, it was still a Class B barren area. They could run into high-level Astral Pets at any time.
The route they chose was the shortest route from the temporary camp to the base. It was also the route that other explorers took. After walking for a long time, they naturally formed a path. There were fewer Astral Pets around this path than in other places. After all, Astral Pets were intelligent. They would sense the presence of humans and stay away, except for some ferocious ones.
