Chapter 74
Chapter 74 Time Passes
Ye Qiong counted the lumps of coal that appeared in a corner. There were eight lumps in total, and they were arranged in a disorderly manner.
He chopped off a piece with a dagger, then placed it in the palm of his hand and weighed it. Ye Qiong confirmed it again, it was coal.
Ye Qiong looked back at the wild horse king who was still in a coma, and immediately smiled and said, “It seems that you can not only create disasters, but also bring good luck.”
Coal doesn’t appear bit by bit, as long as it appears, in terms of Ye Qiong’s tribe’s manpower, there is no need to think about when it can be used up.
With coal, the energy problem is solved directly. Ye Qiong is now very confident that the tribe can develop into the steam age in the shortest time.
Once you enter the age of steam, you can develop technological civilization!
Now Ye Qiong doesn’t know how much coal is still under the ground, but Ye Qiong knows very well that in a short period of time, they will never finish mining.
With coal, and using it, imperceptibly…
Snow Star’s pollution era began to slowly start.
At the same time, the emission of carbon elements will also gradually increase. What Ye Qiong did not think about himself was what the discovery of this coal mine would mean to Xue Xing as a whole.
From the perspective of Ye Qiong now, he is too lazy to think about the future. The first problem to be solved now is to find a way to get out first. If he is trapped here, it will be a joke. Coal resources are useless.
When thinking of this, Ye Qiong looked at the Mustang King again, it should not wake up for a while.
Ye Qiong looked at the snow on the top of his head. Now it was completely erected. If Ye Qiong digs on it hastily, it will likely cause a collapse, and the snow will bury the entire pit.
Although Ye Qiong wasn’t worried about the snow burying himself, the Mustang King couldn’t. Once it was buried, it basically had no chance of surviving, and it would suffocate in a short time.
Ye Qiong can wave his hands and create a small space in front of him where he can breathe. The Mustang King has no hands, so he can’t protect his head like a human.
Walking to the longbow and quiver, Ye Qiong picked up the longbow, then drew an arrow and put it on the longbow.
Then draw the bow and shoot the arrow!
“Whoosh!”
The longbow was pulled to the full moon by Ye Qiong in an instant, and the arrow headed towards the snowdrift at high speed. After inserting into the snowdrift, it disappeared immediately.
In the distance, Tang Ying, who was kneeling on the ground praying for blessings, raised her head abruptly, her eyes locked on the arrow shot from under the snowdrift.
“…”
Tang Ying looked at the arrow and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that people are fine, and they can still draw bows and shoot arrows!
But isn’t it buried? Why is it still free to shoot arrows?
The process is not important, the result is the most important.
Since there is still strength to shoot arrows, it means that there is not much injury, and the arrows are able to circulate enough air, so there will be no suffocation problem for the time being.
After she figured it out, Tang Ying felt relieved. As long as Ye Qiong could cope with the first wave of shock, she could get away from the snowdrifts.
It’s a matter of time.
Ye Qiong, who was inside the big pit at the moment, recovered from the excitement of discovering the coal mine just now.
Looking at the small arrow hole above his head, he could see the uppermost sky, although it was only the size of a fingernail, but for Ye Qiong, it was a good thing. Raising his right hand, Ye Qiong grasped his hand, and then also left a small gap, aiming at the small hole that the arrow had penetrated above.
The small hole imaging allows Ye Qiong to see farther.
It was roughly estimated that the depth of the snowdrifts above was about seven or eight meters.
Although it is not very deep, how to get out is more troublesome for the current Ye Qiong.
If Ye Qiong was alone, he would just climb out without saying a word, but now there is a wild horse king lying next to him. Whether he can bring the group of wild horses outside back to the tribe depends on it.
Ye Qiong can already think of what the scene is outside. Originally, their location was already on a high slope. It seemed that the surrounding area was at least tens of meters deep, or even hundreds of meters…
Humans cannot walk on these fluffy snows. Only after being blown by the wind for a few days can they reach the hardness of walking on them.
Now it seems……
Ye Qiong had to stay with the Mustang King for a few days.
Little by little time began to slip away.
Tang Ying and Duan, who were outside the avalanche range, could only be in a hurry now. It was impossible to pass through the fluffy snow that was several kilometers wide and tens of meters deep on average.
At this time, manpower is very insignificant in front of nature.
And the group of wild horses did not leave, but stayed on a small mountain in the distance under the leadership of several mares, and they were also waiting for their king to return.
Ye Qiong carefully analyzed the current situation and found that he was in a rather embarrassing situation.
“Hey…”
Just when Ye Qiong was thinking about what to do next, the Mustang King had already woken up.
It first raised its head to look left and right, and then put its gaze on Ye Qiong, as if looking at Ye Qiong. This time, its eyes were no longer hostile, but more curious and puzzled.
The guy in front of him… first rode on him inexplicably, and then fell into this big pit with himself. The key is that this guy didn’t kill it, but healed it.
The Mustang King looked at his front legs again. The bones that had been twisted were straight now, and a fixed stick was tied to it. Although the Mustang King could not understand it, he could still feel it. It’s just that the front legs don’t hurt as much.
“Mu!”
The Wild Horse King yelled at Ye Qiong, and then tried to straighten his body. After struggling a few times, he actually stood up.
Ye Qiong only felt the true height of the Mustang King now, the horse’s back was two meters above the ground.
Normal adults have a hard time trying to ride it.
Although the body stood up, but the left front leg, still can not force.
Ye Qiong walked towards the Mustang King, the Mustang King subconsciously took a step back, his back hip was directly against the wall, there was no way to step back.
After seeing this, Ye Qiong stopped moving forward.
One person and one horse, they just stayed in the big pit for a while.
Ye Qiong turned around, walked to the wall, and then chiseled it with a dagger, and soon he dug out a round hole about one meter deep.
Then he turned around again, walked to the coal and squatted down, banging a few pieces down.
Then put the smashed coal into the hole just dug, then took off the fire fold and put it on the stacked coal
