Chapter 477: Chapter 475: Gold Mine_1
 

“Sister, I want to go too.”

The Little Prince clasped Baoya with eagerness in his eyes.

“Roar.”

Baoya appeasingly let out a couple of sounds.

Lin Qingluo replied with a smile, “Come here; let sister help you mount the horse.”

“Mm-mm.”

The Little Prince, with his sparkling big eyes, cheerfully held onto Baoya, and trotted over to Lightning.

“Neigh.”

Lightning snorted, shooting a disdainful look at Baoya, and let out an imperious neigh.

“Roar.”

Baoya’s eyes rolled, refusing to be belittled by Lightning, it swiftly leapt onto the horse’s back with its small body. Its agility was truly remarkable.

The Little Prince was so taken aback by Baoya’s quick movement that all he saw was a flash of light before him.

“Baoya, you’ve got some skill,” teased Qingluo with a playful smile, as she helped the Little Prince onto the horse and gently patted Lightning’s head.

“Neigh.”

Provoked by Baoya, Lightning neighed and reared up, racing forward like an arrow.

Wang Meng turned his horse around, with Black Wind hot on his heels.

“Master, I’ll wait for you by the pond.”

Impatient, Little Kingfisher flapped its wings, its swift motion turned into a streak of lightning as it flew off into the distance.

**

A significant crowd had gathered by the pond, the old military heads who heard the news had gathered, eagerly peering into the underground tunnel.

The tunnel was pitch black, so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. A toxic miasma filled the air, causing anyone who dared to venture in to have trouble breathing. Stay too long, and the miasma would fog the mind and induce unconsciousness from poisoning.

One daring fellow had gone in with a torch for a look before Lin Qingluo arrived, but he became dizzy and choked up after fifty meters. He fled back, terrified, and did not dare venture further inside.

Lin Jinyu’s eyebrows furrowed, looking at the tunnel, he was at a loss for what to do.

“Chirp.”

Little Kingfisher was the first to arrive, circling in the air above the pond, chirping cheerfully.

Lin Jinyu’s heart lifted, looking up at the glowing red Little Kingfisher, his obsidian eyes brightened.

Since Little Kingfisher was here, his sister couldn’t be far.

“Chirp.”

Impatient for its master, Little Kingfisher made several circles above their heads before flying into the tunnel.

“Be careful, the miasma is poisonous!”

His heart clenched, Lin Jinyu watched with worry.

“Chirp.”

Little Kingfisher didn’t mind and flew straight down.

After a while, the sound of jubilant twittering reached Lin Qingluo’s ears.

“Master, there is a mine at the deepest part of the underground, filled with raw gold ore. It looks like the same vein of gold at the entrance.”

As expected, it was one and the same vein of gold that was connected to the entrance.

Does this mean that the entire valley below is a gold ore vein?

The entire valley is a treasure trove!

Lin Qingluo couldn’t help but tremble with excitement at the mental communication she received. She couldn’t deny her excitement.

She was still too young to consider gold mining before.

Now, with the support of three hundred thousand Lin Clan soldiers, it was time to start the development of the gold mine and refining gold.

Despite Lightning’s swift speed, it was still nearly half a Shichen before they reached the underground river at the end of the valley.

“My sister is here.”

Upon hearing the hoofbeats, Lin Jinyu rejoiced and met them with big strides.

Recently spending his days in the fields, he had tanned considerably from the sunburn. When Lin Qingluo was near, she saw her brother, usually elegant and refined, sporting a straw hat, wearing a rough gown, sturdy as any villager. But there was an on-going smile on his face as he approached her.

“Brother, come, let me give you a rundown of the underground tunnel.”

Reaching her brother, Lin Qingluo dismounted decisively, carrying the Little Prince off the horse with her.
