I'll travel to the Jurassic world and hand it over to the state directly.

Chapter 38 The Return Journey

Upon seeing this, Zhang Changgong immediately realized that the spirit snake was extraordinary.

Su Yang's conversation with the other party was probably about demanding the spirit snake's corpse.

What seemed like an ordinary snake corpse to them was something the other party was going to great lengths to take away.

There must be an indescribable secret hidden behind this.

"Collect the corpses of twenty spirit snakes and take them back for research."

Thinking of this.

Zhang Changgong addressed Guo Yong and the others.

"no problem."

Upon hearing this, Guo Yong nodded and then began to instruct the others to collect the spirit snake's corpse.

The two people from Akana, who were standing nearby, didn't say anything when they saw Guo Yong start collecting the snake corpses.

After all, it was the other party who killed the spirit snake, and it was the other party who found this place. The two of them were just following behind the other party and did nothing.

Getting some snake corpses is already pretty good.

Even if the other side doesn't give them anything, Arcana and Al can't do anything about it.

However, since Su Yang agreed to give them some spirit snakes, he probably won't break his promise.

"It took us almost a morning to get here, and we'll need about a morning to get back to the Akana tribe."

While Guo Yong was still collecting spirit snakes, Su Yang glanced at the time and discussed with Zhang Changgong when to return.

The best place to land for the next crossing should be near the Akana tribe.

As for why it's not within the Akana tribe.

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows that this situation is impossible.

Putting aside how long they've known each other, even if the other party acts extremely friendly, who can guarantee that nothing will go wrong?

To put it another way, what if the leaders of the healing faction or the radical faction came and traveled to the Akana tribe? Wouldn't that be like delivering themselves to their doorstep?

"There should be enough time."

Zhang Changong nodded. Fortunately, they had arrived in the Jurassic World in an off-road vehicle this time.

Like last time, we will come on foot.

Even if they discover spirit crystals and heavy iron this time, they won't be able to bring much back.

"The only problem is heavy rail."

Zhang Changgong frowned and said.

The density of heavy iron is simply too high. It's clearly impractical to carry a large amount of heavy iron on an off-road vehicle.

Even if each vehicle were to share the load of heavy iron and spirit crystals, it wouldn't be particularly realistic.

"That is indeed a problem."

As someone who had personally seen the heavy iron density report, Su Yang believed that Zhang Changgong's words were not without reason.

Heavy trains are just too heavy.

A piece the size of a fist can weigh over ten kilograms.

Even military off-road vehicles cannot be completely filled.

"Take as much as you can."

Su Yang sighed, but thankfully it was only temporary.

They already knew where these two types of ore were located, and if they wanted to transport more, they would simply have to increase the number of trips back and forth.

Once this batch is transported back, there shouldn't be any rush to start mining and transportation in the short term.

"That's all we can do."

Zhang Changgong nodded silently.

If the portal can be opened reliably, then the Great Xia can send people over to establish a stronghold directly.

They no longer need to worry about this issue.

Unfortunately.

Without further thought, Zhang Changgong began to arrange the mining work.

Because the cave had already undergone thorough hazard mitigation, mining could begin immediately once manpower was deployed.

There's no need to worry about large carnivorous dinosaurs like the Sauropoda spp. coming in from outside.

Even if they get inside, the cave is only big enough for one lizard-eating king dragon to enter; they only need to guard the entrance.

As arranged, a team was assigned to guard the cave entrance.

The remaining people were divided into two groups to mine heavy iron and spirit crystals as much as possible.

Watching everyone's busy backs, Han Bei couldn't help but look at the progress bar in his mind, which was currently stuck at 60%.

I reckon it'll be about 80% complete after I go back this time.

I wonder if the portal will be permanently open when I go back next time.

Thinking of this, Han Bei couldn't help but sigh.

They then mustered all their strength and began mining the spirit crystals.

........

The next day.

"Dr. Su, it should be about time."

Han Bei spoke to Su Yang, who was directing the movement of ore, saying that he had noted the exact time before coming.

It takes about four hours to get from the Akana tribe to the Stone Forest in the Dead Land.

Including preparation time, about five hours should be enough.

"Okay, I understand."

Su Yang nodded. "That's all there is. Once we get it to the car, we can head back."

Half an hour later.

As the roar of the off-road vehicles filled the air, the group embarked on their journey back to the Akana tribe.

"Finally, we're back."

Arcana leaned against the window, feeling slightly excited.

the other side.

The location of the Akana tribe.

"Why aren't they back yet?"

Shaman Arun stood by the gate, his expression complex.

He had previously thought that the other party would return before nightfall at the latest, having searched for the spirit crystal.

But now a day and a half has passed, and they still haven't returned.

For a moment, Alan couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

I should have known better than to let Arcana and Al go with us. Spirit crystals are things that only high priests can find. How could an outsider like them possibly find them?

I was really too naive.

Just as Allen turned away in disappointment.

He could vaguely see tiny black dots in the distance, seemingly speeding toward his location.

"That is?"

Allen stared blankly as many black dots approached him from afar.

As he got closer, he could see clearly what those black dots were.

They were none other than the mounts of those outsiders.

"They're back."

Allen murmured to himself, a faint flame rising from the depths of his heart.

What if they actually found the spirit crystal?

Although the probability is extremely small.

As time went by, the off-road vehicles eventually came to a steady stop not far from Allen.

Zhang Changgong was the first to come down, followed by Su Yang and Han Bei.

While the shaman Arun was still looking around, trying to find Akana and Al, he saw Akana open the car door and get out of the SUV with Al.

"Shaman".

Su Yang nodded slightly and greeted Allen.

Allen responded, his gaze fixed on the two men, Arcana and the other.

"Your Excellency, please go inside and rest for a while."

Seeing that Arcana and Al were unharmed, Allen breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled as he spoke to Su Yang.

Thank you for your trouble.

Su Yang did not refuse and led the people to the nest chamber where they were resting in front of them with ease.

Meanwhile, the three members of Arcana watched silently as the group entered the hive.

After confirming that everyone had entered the nest chamber, the shaman Arun finally spoke.

"How did it go? Did they find the spirit crystal?"

"Shamans, they not only found spirit crystals, but also heavy iron, and killed many spirit snakes."

Arcana recounted everything that had happened over the past day and a half.
