Chapter 900 Shining Diamond
Inside the mine.
Bifang held a torch and explored carefully.
The experience just now was still fresh in his mind, so the pace of caving exploration became slower.
The tunnel was as eerie and terrifying as ever, and the recent attack added an unknown crisis to everyone.
But after a long time, no one saw a diamond that could shine, and at this point, almost no one had much hope.
Facing the dim environment for a long time, the firelight is unstable and flickering, which makes the eyes quite tired.
Come to think of it, the mine has been abandoned for who knows how many years. Looking at the equipment and kerosene lamps left in the corner, it looks like it has been abandoned for decades. I don't know if anyone has come in during this period.
Even if not, would the people who evacuated at the beginning be kind enough to leave the good stuff behind?
[It’s too dark, my eyes are going blind, why don’t we just stop here when exploring the cave]
[It’s been almost three hours and nothing happened]
[If there really are diamonds, how could it be our turn? 】
"That's right." Bifang also wanted to give up, but he left without even trying to figure it out, which seemed incoherent, so he was too embarrassed to bring it up.
The cave was already stuffy and hot, and the torches were still burning and emitting black smoke. After being here for quite some time, it was completely a thankless task, as I felt hot and tired.
"If we still can't see the end after another quarter of an hour, we'll go back."
Bifang raised his hand to wipe the sweat and found that his hands were black. He didn't know when he got a hand full of black dust, which was stuck with sweat and made it dirty.
Raising his arm and wiping the dust off his face with the elbow, Bifang continued to move forward. As a result, this time the corridor suddenly turned a 90-degree angle.
When Bifang turned the corner, what appeared in front of everyone was no longer a complicated maze-like entrance that made people feel at a loss as to where to go, but a straight cylindrical space.
A semicircular platform was formed at the end of the corridor. Bifang stood on the platform, appearing abruptly in this straight columnar space.
He raised his head and held the torch high. The light shone about four or five meters away, but he could not see the rocks on the top at all. Going down, it was even more bottomless.
He kicked a stone nearby, put his ear to the ground, held his breath and listened carefully.
After a few seconds, a subtle echo reverberated and spread among the rocks and was accurately captured by Bifang.
"It took about three seconds, and the depth was about fifty meters. The error won't be too big."
Bifang stood up, obviously very confident in his judgment.
"The platform under our feet has been excavated for a long time, and its solidity is worrying. So try not to get close to the edge. This is the same whether it is now or in the wild. If you don't have enough experience to judge, don't get close to the edge of the cliff."
Walking around the protruding semicircular platform with a torch in hand, Bifang also discovered long iron ladders on both sides.
Due to the passage of time, the ladder was covered with reddish-brown rust, which was peeling off layer by layer like a burrito and was completely unusable.
"Let's stop here. I don't really want to go down. There are probably honeycomb-like passages underneath, like a maze. I think everyone has experienced enough."
[Wait, Master Fang, take a look at the rock wall in front of you, is there any diamond on it? ]
In the barrage stream, a not very eye-catching barrage attracted the attention of a small number of people.
[Diamonds, where are the diamonds? ]
[Is this true? It can’t be fishing.]
[About half a minute ago, I stepped back and saw a raised translucent stone in front of me where the firelight was shining. I’m not sure if I saw it wrongly, but I’m just saying]
The "small" number of people in Bifang's live broadcast room is also a staggering number. Under so many doubts, the person who first posted the barrage suddenly became unconfident and wondered if he had seen it wrong.
It was really dark inside the cave, and the firelight had a limited illumination range. Plus, the scene lasted so long that the audience who persisted were more or less dizzy.
However, as many viewers went back to the time period mentioned in the barrage and observed carefully, they found that it seemed to be true?
[I think I saw it too, but it was too dark, so I didn’t pay much attention to it and thought it was a light and shadow effect]
[I took a screenshot, it seems to be a little translucent. ]
[Hiss, no way, is it true? ]
[Damn, I’m rich now, there’s hope]
With support, everyone suddenly became more confident, and many people asked Bifang to go back and take another look.
At this moment, Bifang was about to turn around and go back in the direction he came from, but he saw the barrage and stopped immediately.
There's no way, the live broadcast room is so lively and it's impossible not to pay attention.
"Are there really diamonds?"
He inserted the Bifang head into his hair and rubbed it back and forth several times. Finally, he returned to the platform with the torch in hand, stretched his arm as far as possible to illuminate the opposite rock wall.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t take a photo, but when you do, you’ll be really shocked.
In stock!
Really available!
A thumb-sized piece of gray translucent mineral is inserted diagonally into the rock wall, like a weed growing tenaciously from a crack in the rock.
Inconspicuous.
If it weren’t for the reminder from the netizens, Bifang wouldn’t have noticed it.
It's worthy of being called a netizen with an average of Leeuwenhoek!
Along with this accidentally discovered diamond, Bifang also discovered many small diamonds popping up within ten or even dozens of centimeters around it.
This discovery immediately caught everyone's attention.
[WTF TF TF TF, it really exists]
[Hiss, you can see this.]
[Wow, this is about the size of a thumb, right? Will it get bigger if I dig it out?]
[How big is the world's largest diamond? ]
[Don't worry, this diamond is obviously full of impurities. In fact, there are many large diamonds, but what is rare are large and pure diamonds. This kind of diamond that looks like half a stone is actually not rare and is not valuable.]
[But at least it proves that there are really diamonds here. Maybe there are high-quality diamonds that have been missed? ]
The barrage of comments emerged explosively, flooding the live broadcast room.
[Hahaha, I just said I saw it]
【The modern Leeuwenhoek! 】
【Big Brother 666】
Bifang's heart was unusually agitated.
Just as the audience in the live broadcast room said, maybe there are just as many diamond magazines as there are stones, but at least it is a good signal.
In the United States' Yellowstone National Park, some people found diamonds on the roadside while traveling.
In Ratlapuna, Sri Lanka, rough sapphires were found on the river beach .
The gems found in the wild are not in a shiny state. Sometimes they may just be an inconspicuous stone with a slightly different color. Only after cutting and polishing can the dazzling core be exposed.
Without professional identification knowledge, it is likely to be ignored.
Both eyesight and luck are essential, but luck is the main factor.
Bifang himself was unlucky, but among the tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room, there must be someone who was lucky. If a netizen hadn't reminded him just now, he might have really missed it.
