"Rumble..."
At this moment, the mountain body suddenly vibrated violently, and countless stones peeled off from above, rolling down with strong momentum.
Another wave of earthquake.
Everyone, suspended in mid-air, watched the scene before them, too shocked to speak.
This, was the power of heaven and earth!
Chai Lingwu patted his chest with lingering fear: "Damn it! Scared this second master to death!"
"Fortunately, we didn't go down, otherwise we would have been buried alive!"
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on a lion on the ground below.
The lion was roasted to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, and had also been marinated by seawater.
It looked very appetizing!
However, in the next moment, the feast in his eyes was smashed to smithereens by falling rocks.
"Brother, what do we do?" Li Xiaogong looked at Fang Er and asked.
"We can't just float around like this forever. We haven't eaten all day, we need to find a place to rest, right?"
Within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, there was no stable ground, and minor and major aftershocks were continuous.
The earth cracked, and trees were toppled.
Lake water overflowed, and fish and shrimp flopped all over the ground.
"Let's head inland and find a plain to settle down!"
Fang Er looked around and pointed west.
For now, they could only wait for the chain reaction caused by the meteor to pass.
Setting off again, when they reached the area that would later become Zimbabwe, he suddenly thought of something, changed direction, and flew towards South Africa.
He hadn't been to the Rand goldfields of this world yet.
With such a large geological change, he wondered if the gold mines there had been affected.
The others saw this and asked nothing, just quietly followed behind.
The South African gold mines were hundreds of kilometers away from the impact point of the meteor.
If we were to divide time zones as in later generations, the place they departed from, Australia, belonged to the East Ninth Zone.
And the location of the Rand goldfields belonged to the East Second Zone.
When they arrived, the sun had not yet completely set.
At this time, the mining area was still in its undeveloped state.
The surrounding mountains also seemed to have been affected by the geological changes, with some mountains experiencing minor landslides, exposing the gold mines.
The setting sun shone on the mountains, reflecting a golden glow.
Li Xiaogong's eyes lit up at this sight.
"Damn it! Gold mine!"
Chai Lingwu leaned over upon hearing this and smiled with ill intent.
"Ninth Uncle, you're exceeding your bounds, you are a Duke now!"
Li Xiaogong raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "So, what do you mean?"
Chai Lingwu rubbed his nose and said meaningfully.
"Nothing much, you saw nothing, and I heard nothing!"
Li Xiaogong: ............
"You little brat! You dare to threaten me!"
After speaking, he lunged forward, grabbed Chai Lingwu, and began to beat him soundly...
Damn it, if Ninth Uncle can't beat Second Master Fang, can't he still beat you, you little brat?
I'll beat you to death!
"Holy shit! Joking around without taking an eye out!"
Chai Lingwu was terrified, shielding his head as he dodged, and shouted for help from Fang Er.
"Brother-in-law, save me!"
Fang Er shook his head speechlessly, realizing that his own karma was his own to bear.
Gathering firewood and starting a fire.
His subordinates had hunted two wild oxen. After preparing them, they were placed on the fire and roasted until they were sizzling with oil.
He found some wild vegetables from the surrounding grass, and ate them with the roasted golden-brown beef, enjoying it immensely.
The next morning, the team he had left behind in Madagascar arrived.
Ge Luoyang and his men searched for several hours in that area, but did not find a single living person.
Upon hearing this news, Fang Er's heart tightened.
Although there were not many people living on that island at the moment, there should have been at least over a hundred thousand.
But in a natural disaster, everything was gone!
Shaking his head, he cast aside the sorrowful emotion and pointed to the distant mountains.
"No matter what, let's mine gold!"
"Yes!"
Hundreds of gold mining ships all took to the sky, each responsible for a certain area, flying towards the mountains.
Li Xiaogong gave Chai Lingwu the middle finger, chose a spot for himself, and left with the main force.
Chai Lingwu was very sad, and he looked at Fang Er with a mournful expression.
"Unfeeling fellow!"
After speaking, he also set sail and left.
Fang Er: ???
Holy crap?
You can't fight, so now you're blaming me?
Watching their retreating backs, he shook his head speechlessly.
He casually tossed out a mattress, lay down on it, and started sunbathing.
This job no longer required him to do it personally.
With hundreds of gold mining ships working simultaneously, the surrounding mines looked like they were covered in a thick fog.
But this fog was golden.
The teams shuttled back and forth between the base and the mines, and gold bricks were piled up next to Fang Er.
Li Xiaogong was having a blast!
Watching the gold bricks pile higher and higher, his sense of accomplishment soared.
"Hahahaha!"
"Ninth Uncle has never seen so much gold in his life!"
"Awesome! So awesome!"
"Hahahaha!"
Just as Chai Lingwu returned to unload, he couldn't help but retort when he heard Li Xiaogong's smug words.
"No matter how much gold there is, what does it have to do with you, not even a single copper coin?"
Li Xiaogong's smile froze on his face, as if he had eaten a dead fly.
Damn it???
Then, he lowered his ship, and fawningly approached Fang Er, lying down on the mattress next to him.
He turned sideways, leaning over in a very strange posture.
"Brother, our relationship..."
"Let's not say half for half, but it's fine to have a share for everyone who sees it, right?"
Fang Er was playing with his phone and didn't even look at him.
"Take it yourself, whatever you can carry!"
Li Xiaogong: ............
Damn it!
Each gold brick weighs nearly four hundred pounds, can I even carry it!
"Brother, this is not fair!"
"Old brother knows you are not ordinary, be merciful, these things are like dirt to you."
"But old brother is poor!"
"Your sister-in-law dislikes that I can't make money and hasn't let me on the bed for three months..."
The tone of this guy was so miserable, it was enough to make listeners sad and viewers cry.
But before Fang Er could speak, Chai Lingwu, that rascal, maliciously exposed his secrets from the side.
"Ninth Uncle, Ninth Aunt seems to be still in Chang'an, she lets you on the bed, but can you even get back!"
"Chai Lingwu! I'll curse your ancestors!"
Li Xiaogong was completely enraged.
Damn it, why does this unlucky kid like to pick on him so much!
Chai Lingwu hadn't disembarked. Seeing Li Xiaogong charging at him, he grinned and flew higher.
"Hahahaha, I just like seeing you annoyed and unable to do anything about me!"
After speaking, he turned around and ran away.
