Chapter 536 - 515: Extreme Sinking Quicksand (3/3)
In Yang Lanxin’s view, their only way to return to the Forty-Nine Immortal City was to encounter a starship here and hitch a ride with favorable winds.
Of course, it would be best if the other party was an Immortal City force mining ores, rather than pirates of the Star Sea!
Being idle was just as well, for who knew when a starship might pass by; since Zhou Heng was interested in exploring this continent, she naturally wouldn’t spoil the mood, especially since Zhou Heng was precisely the person she was very keen on winning over.
Unfortunately, this continent was floating in the universe; even if they discovered extremely precious metal deposits, and even if they could return immediately to Immortal City, once they set out from Immortal City again, the continent would have drifted elsewhere by the time they arrived.
Although Yang Lanxin had not commanded mining operations many times, she had heard from the elders countless times that the greater the gravity of a continent, the more and the more precious the metals it contained!
It was really too bad; they had discovered such a treasure mountain, yet they could only be tourists!
After all, how much metal could just two people bring back? Besides, mining metal wasn’t as simple as stooping to pick something up; it required a vast array of tools to smelt the metal out of the ore. They could only bring back a heap of ore, which was of comparatively limited value.
In contrast, Zhou Heng was quite pleased.
In a sense, he was Star Charm!
He devoured metal not by refining it first, as that was too troublesome—straight through the ore, he would suck away the metal essence, crisp and direct!
