Chapter 904: Chapter 900 Shining Diamond Chapter 904: Chapter 900 Shining Diamond Inside the mine.

Bi Fang was carefully exploring with a torch in hand.

The recent encounter was still fresh in his mind, so the speed of exploration had become even slower.

The tunnel was as eerie and terrifying as ever, and the recent attack had added an element of unknown danger for everyone.

But it had been half a day, and no one had seen a single shining diamond, and by now, nearly everyone had lost much hope.

Facing the dim environment for a long time, with the flickering firelight, their eyes were quite fatigued.

Indeed, the mine had been abandoned for who knows how many years. Looking at the equipment and the oil lamps left in the corners, it seemed like it had been abandoned for decades, and they had no idea if anyone had been there in the interim.

Even if no one had, would the people who left originally have left behind any good goods?

[It’s too dark, my eyes are going to go blind, maybe we should stop exploring here.]
[It’s been almost three hours, and there’s nothing.]
[If there really were diamonds, how would it be our turn?]
“It’s true.” Bi Fang himself also wanted to give up, but leaving without reaching the end felt awkward, and he had been reluctant to bring it up.

The cave was already stuffy and hot, and the torch kept burning and emitting black smoke. Having come in for half a day, it was all effort with no reward, hot and tiring.

“Let’s go for another fifteen minutes, and if we still can’t see the end, we’ll head back.”

Bi Fang raised his hand to wipe his sweat, only to find his hands were grimy, unknowingly stained with soot mixed with sweat, filthy.

Raising his arm, he used the bend of his elbow to wipe the soot from his face, and Bi Fang continued forward, but this time the passage suddenly turned at a ninety-degree angle.

When Bi Fang turned the corner, what appeared before everyone was no longer a labyrinth-like complex of tunnels that left them bewildered about which way to go, but a straight, columnar space.

At the end of the passage, there was a semicircular platform; Bi Fang stood on it, abruptly appearing in this straight columnar space.

He looked up, holding the torch high, the light illuminating up to four or five meters away, but he couldn’t see the rock at the top at all, and looking down, it was unfathomably deep.

Kicking a pebble down, Bi Fang put his ear to the ground and held his breath to listen carefully.

A few seconds later, the faint echo reverberated and spread through the rocks, accurately captured by Bi Fang.

“About three seconds for the sound to return, so the depth is about fifty meters. The error won’t be very big.”

Bi Fang stood up, clearly confident in his judgment.

“The platform we’re standing on was carved out a long time ago. Its stability is questionable, so as much as possible, do not get close to the edge. This applies both here and outside; if you don’t have enough experience to judge, then don’t approach cliff edges.”

Holding the torch, Bi Fang walked around the protruding semicircular platform and also found iron ladders distributed on both sides.

Time had taken its toll, and the ladder was covered with reddish-brown rust, peeled layer after layer like a rolled pancake, completely unusable.

“Let’s stop here. I really don’t feel like going down. Underneath is likely a honeycombed network of tunnels, just like a maze. I think everyone’s experienced enough.”

[Wait, Master Fang, look at the rock wall in front of you. Is there a diamond there?]
A not very eye-catching comment in the barrage had attracted the attention of a small portion of people.

[Diamonds, where are the diamonds?]
[Really or not, could this be a scam?]
[About half a minute ago, go back a bit, right in front, where the firelight touched, I feel there’s a raised semi-transparent stone. I’m not too sure; just saying.]
For the “small” number of people in Bi Fang’s live stream, that was still an astonishing number, and under so much skepticism, the person who first posted the comment suddenly felt unsure, doubting if they’d seen wrong.

The cave was indeed too dark, the range of the torchlight was limited, and with time also long, the viewers who had persisted were somewhat dazzled.

However, as many viewers scrolled back to the time mentioned in the comment and observed carefully, it seemed there really was something to it?

“I think I saw it too, but it felt too dark, so I didn’t pay much attention, thinking it was just a lighting effect.”

“I captured the image, it seems a bit translucent.”

“Damn, really? There’s actually something?”

“Holy, we hit the jackpot, there’s hope!”

With the support, everyone suddenly gained confidence, and many urged Bi Fang to go back and check again.

Just as he was about to turn around and head back in the direction he came from, Bi Fang saw the barrage of comments and stopped in his tracks.

It was inevitable; the live streaming room was bustling, and ignoring it was not an option.

“Is there really a diamond?”

Bi Fang buried his head in his hands, wiped his fingers through his hair several times, and finally returned to the platform with a torch, extending his arm as much as possible to illuminate the opposing rock wall.

It wasn’t necessary to light it up, but upon doing so, he really got a shock.

Goods!

There were indeed goods!

A grey, translucent mineral, the size of a thumb, was obliquely embedded in the rock wall, appearing as if it had stubbornly grown out of the crevice.

It was unremarkable.

If not for Shuiyou pointing it out, Bi Fang would not have noticed it.

Deserving of being called average Levenhook’s netizens!

Moreover, alongside this stone, discovered by chance, Bi Fang gradually found several more small diamonds emerging within a distance of several or dozens of centimeters around it.

This discovery instantly dazzled everyone’s eyes.

“Damn damn damn damn, there really is one!”

“Damn, how could you even spot that!”

“My goodness, that’s the size of a thumb, right? Could it be bigger if dug out?”

“How big is the largest diamond in the world?”

“Stop kidding, this diamond is obviously full of impurities. There are actually plenty of large diamonds, but the rare ones are large and of high purity. This kind of stone-looking diamond is not very rare and not valuable.”

“But at least it proves that there are real diamonds here, maybe there are some high-quality ones missed?”

The barrage exploded, flooding the live streaming room.

“Haha, I told you I saw it!”

“Modern-day Levenhook!”

“Master 666”
Bi Fang felt an uncommon stir within him.

As the viewers in the live streaming room said, perhaps these diamonds were no different from stones in terms of inclusions, but at least it was a positive signal.

In Ugly Country Yellowstone National Park, someone found diamonds while strolling by the road.

In Sri Lanka’s Ratnapura, someone discovered raw sapphires on a riverbank.

Gems found in the wild aren’t the shiny, polished states you usually see; they might just be a dull, slightly different-colored stone that only reveals its brilliant core after cutting and polishing.

Without professional identification knowledge, you might just overlook it.

It’s all about keen eyes and luck; actually, mostly luck.

Bi Fang wasn’t lucky himself, but in the live streaming room with millions of viewers, there was always someone lucky. If not for a reminder from an online friend, he might have really missed it.
