Chapter 382 Picking up gems
Chapter 382 Picking up gems
After yesterday's hunt, today's activities are simple.
Ming was going to take Lin Liuyi to the Gem River to collect stones, which made Lin Liuyi extremely excited.
She had seen Ming and the others collecting stones in the video before. Colorful stones were everywhere, and any one of them would be priceless to them.
What's the difference between picking up stones and picking up money from the ground?
Lin Liu rubbed her hands together; she couldn't wait any longer.
Yue doesn't understand. It's just a pretty stone. Why is Sister Liuyi so excited? Does she like pretty stones that much?
This time, Ming took Yue and the other cubs with her to accompany Lin Liuyi to collect stones. Anyway, the distance wasn't far, and they had already cleared out the surrounding ferocious beasts.
Since there's no danger, we might as well take these cubs out for some fresh air.
Sunlight pierced through the morning mist and shone on the winding path.
The moon led a group of cubs, chattering and making a lot of noise along the way.
Tiger cubs would occasionally pounce into the grass and then roll out again.
Or perhaps the little rabbit bites a blade of grass by the roadside, then bursts into tears, then stops crying and is attracted to the next blade of grass.
Lin Liuyi guessed that the grass leaves probably didn't taste good.
Or the kitten pounces on a fluttering butterfly, dancing along with it.
Ming was still introducing the Gem River to Lin Liuyi: "Liuyi, let me tell you, this river is only beautiful in the sunlight!"
Ming also introduced all the plants along the way to Lin Liuyi, who listened and nodded repeatedly.
The group continued on their way, the path becoming narrower and narrower, while the surrounding vegetation grew increasingly lush.
Suddenly, a clear, crisp sound of water came, like countless wind chimes tinkling in the breeze.
Lin Liuyi's heart raced. She quickened her pace and pushed aside the last clump of bushes—the sight before her made her hold her breath.
A wide river shimmered dazzlingly in the sunlight, its water crystal clear, and its riverbed covered with all sorts of stones!
Rubies resemble solidified flames, sapphires are like a deep starry sky, and emeralds are like the green of an entire forest condensed into a crystal.
Sunlight shines through the water, casting ever-changing shadows on the riverbed, making the entire river resemble a flowing rainbow.
"My God!" Lin Liuyi couldn't believe his eyes. Sure enough, no matter how clear the video was, it couldn't compare to the astonishment of seeing it with his own eyes.
While Lin Liuyi was still in surprise, a group of kids had already rushed in.
Yue chose a huge ruby, lay down on it, and let the slowly flowing river water wash over her fur.
The other cubs also followed suit, each choosing a rock to lie on.
Seeing this, Lin Liuyi also became interested. She squatted down and touched the water with her fingers.
The river water was icy cold, yet it carried a peculiar energy that made her fingertips tingle slightly.
She carefully lay down on a sapphire half-buried in the river, which shimmered with a mysterious starlight in the sunlight.
Then he immersed his feet in the river water. At first, it was a little cold, but as the river flowed and the sun shone, Lin Liuyi felt more and more comfortable.
Surrounded by green forests, with a blue sky above and dazzling gems beneath her, she lay there with utter tranquility.
Lin Liuyi felt like she was going to take a nap here.
"Still sleeping? If you keep sleeping, the little guy will pick up all the gems!" Ming was not as relaxed as Lin Liuyi.
Even though this area has been cleared, the orcs in the wild will still be wary.
When Lin Liuyi opened his eyes, he found that the cubs were already picking and choosing.
A little rabbit picked up a blue gem, looked at it, didn't like it, threw it away, and ran towards a red gem.
Lin Liu felt a pang of heartache; those were sapphires that had been thrown away!
To her, this brat just threw away a wad of cash!
Forget it, there's money everywhere here!
She bent down and picked up a multicolored stone. "Look at this! It's rainbow tourmaline! It's so beautiful!"
Ming nodded, indicating that it was indeed very beautiful.
She didn't take action herself, but instead took charge of guarding and protecting Lin Liuyi and the group of kids.
Lin Liuyi kept bending down to pick up the gems. This one is beautiful, this one is beautiful, and this one is even more beautiful!
She would throw any stone she saw into her spatial storage; there were just too many stones on this riverbank, and they were all different colors.
Lin Liuyi could only try to pick out the prettiest ones; she couldn't possibly take all the stones with her!
As Lin Liuyi was picking things up, his attention was suddenly drawn to a dazzling red light in the middle of the river.
There seemed to be a special ruby there, which stood out even among the many gems.
She unconsciously walked towards the middle of the river, where the water gradually rose above her knees.
"June 1st, be careful!" Ming shouted, "Watch out for the current!"
It's the dry season now, and the river isn't very deep in the middle, so she's not worried about Lin Liuyi drowning.
But Lin Liuyi seemed not to hear, her entire attention was focused on the ruby.
As she drew closer, she could see that it was a heart-shaped ruby, about the size of a pigeon's egg, with what appeared to be flames flowing inside.
Lin Liu grabbed the gemstone with one hand, but wait, why can't he lift it?
It looks like something is pulling the ruby in the water.
But Lin Liuyi looked at the clear river water and then started pulling upwards with all his might.
The pull in the water suddenly disappeared, and Lin Liuyi staggered back a few steps before being supported by Ming.
"What's wrong?" Ming had just noticed Lin Liuyi standing motionless in the river and thought something had happened to her, so he immediately came over to check on her.
"It's nothing! Look, I picked up a pretty stone! Hey, where's the flame?"
Lin Liuyi clearly remembered that there was a flame inside this stone, but now it had disappeared.
"Maybe I'm seeing things! But look, this stone is heart-shaped!"
"Mine is a star!"
"Mine is a ball!"
"Mine is a rabbit!"
"Mine is a tree!"
As soon as Lin Liuyi showed off, the cubs started chattering away.
To be fair, the cubs did indeed pick up all sorts of shapes, so the heart-shaped ones don't seem so special anymore.
Lin Liuyi casually tossed the heart-shaped stone into his spatial dimension as well. Before the little creature hiding inside the stone could escape, it was also tossed into his spatial dimension.
"call!"
"Hmm? Did you hear anything?"
"What's that sound!" Ming immediately became alert, but after listening for a while, there was no one else in the area besides them.
"I must have misheard. Quick, I have to keep looking for gems. I can't do worse than the cubs!"
Ming was both amused and exasperated by Lin Liuyi's sudden surge of competitive spirit.
But somehow their search turned into a water fight.
After Ming was accidentally injured again, she also joined the camp.
The two of them, along with their cub, were having a great time playing in the water.
