The stone salamander is not afraid of people, and even if the hunters approach, it does not move, lying there quietly like a statue, only the occasional bubble on the surface of the water, which proves that it is a living creature.

Although the hunters compete with each other, they still follow some unwritten rules, which are the rules that have been passed down from generation to generation and are the cornerstone of the development of the industry.

For example, at this moment, Zhou Yanyun walked towards the ginseng stone salamander with ground ginseng, and the other ginseng hunters stopped and stopped moving. When obtaining the Ginseng Stone, 10 meters is a safe distance, and no one is allowed to approach it except for team members. There is no mandatory, just a rule that everyone must follow.

"Why don't you catch a stone salamander and raise it, and then just look for the ginseng. Jiutian asked casually.

Several ginseng hunters next to him glanced at him, and they all showed mocking looks.

Jiutian suddenly felt very painful, this kind of rookie look, he saw too much from these ginseng stone hunters. He admits that he is a rookie in the profession of a stone hunter, but he doesn't like to be stared at like this.

Groot also seemed to feel slighted, and stood on Jiutian's shoulders, meowing at the stone hunters, and stretched out his paws in protest. After two fights, it found that these fish-lipped humans could not help themselves, so they became more and more arrogant.

"What a cute kitten, if you give it to me, I'll tell you why, it's an important secret about the Ginseng Hunter. One of the hunters spoke, looking at Groot with a lot of emotion, the Ragdoll looked so agile that he liked it.

"Don't listen to him. Ruan Tang rolled his eyes and whispered: "Whether it is a ground ginseng or a ginseng stone salamander, they can't be taken out of Hanhai Park, once they leave a certain range, they will quickly decay and die." Only the Treasure Ginseng Stone can be taken out unharmed. ”

"Yo, beauty, you know a lot. A hunter whistled and said lightly: "Why don't you be my girlfriend, let's be ginseng hunters together, digging ginseng during the day and you at night." Women, like ground ginseng, are full of mysteries, and I am very interested. ”

Ruan Tang's face turned cold all of a sudden, and he glared at him coldly.

Jiutian also sneered, "Groot, go teach them a lesson." ”

To deal with this kind of uneducated gangster, he felt that it was too cheap to take it personally. Groot was on his own...... Wrong...... A meow can do it all.

Groot is getting smarter and smarter, he can now easily analyze the meaning of Jiutian's tone, and can understand most of the commands, the only regret is that he can't speak.

"Meow!" Groot squealed softly, then jumped off the shoulders of the Nine Heavens and walked towards the stone hunters with graceful cat steps.

"Hahaha, buddy, your cat has defected, why don't you let me feed you. A few of the stone hunters grinned, not thinking that a soft, cute looking Ragdoll cat could do any harm to themselves.

But they were wrong, this is not a simple ragdoll cat, this is a mimicry nine-leaf tree puppet. According to the information queried by the Nine Heavens, the only place of origin of the Nine-Leaf Tree Puppet is currently in the Endless Forest in the north, where there is a crisis, and only experienced and powerful cultivators can either come out of it and bring out rare things.

The nine-leaf tree puppet is one of the specialties of the forest, with a long growth cycle and a variety of rare materials needed during the growth process, which makes it impossible for the outside world to be cultivated in artificial production. If it weren't for the growth card, even if it was nine days with the light of plants and trees, there would be no way to complete the cultivation, so it has been placed in the plantation and grown naturally. And the nine-leaf tree puppet that has been formed in the Endless Forest is actually a very difficult existence to provoke.

At the moment when several ginseng hunters were grinning and ready to pick up Groot, the soft and cute cat was activated instantly, and the little meat pad kicked on the ground, turning into a gray-white phantom, and the cold light flashing in the air came from the cat's paw. Easily tore open the coat of the stone hunter, bringing a few scratches.

"Damn! let Lao Tzu catch it and stew it into a pot of meat for you!" several of the stone hunters jumped to their feet in pain, and grabbed Groot in annoyance.

Wandering in the wilderness every day, the ginseng hunters are actually much stronger than ordinary people. But that doesn't do them the slightest benefit when they face Groot. Felines are known for their agility, and the mimic Groot not only inherits this perfectly, but is even more powerful.

"Big brother, let your cat go back, we were wrong. ”

"Yes, yes, we are cheap, don't be like us. ”

The group of stone hunters softened, and although it was humiliating to be defeated by a cat, it was better than a few more scratches on their bodies.

Jiutian called Groot back, because Zhou Yanyun had already walked in front of the ginseng stone salamander, and he wanted to see how to collect the treasure ginseng stone.

Zhou Yanyun put the ground ginseng in front of the ginseng salamander, and then took a step back. The stone salamander immediately came to its senses, and the lazy feeling disappeared immediately, took a step forward, opened its mouth and swallowed the ground ginseng, and then lay on the ground again and closed its eyes to recuperate.

After about a minute, the salamander's back suddenly shuddered, and then a round object the size of a quail squeezed out of the flesh and hung in the shallow water with a thud.

Nine days can see clearly, this is the treasure ginseng stone. The ginseng stone that has just been squeezed out of the back of the ginseng stone salamander is not beautiful, it is black. But after a few seconds of immersion in the water, it suddenly fades to black and shows its color. A purple glow swirled on the Ginseng Stone, rendering the entire palm-sized body of water around it purple.

"It's so beautiful!" Ruan Tang covered his mouth and exclaimed. She saw Zhou Yanyun pick up the treasure ginseng stone and hold it in her hand. The sunlight shining on the stone shows a different scene from the water. The sunlight directly penetrates the Ginseng Stone, and the air flow inside it is like a cloud, layered on top of each other, and it is incomparably gorgeous.

Several ginseng stone hunters who had been taught by Groot were not arrogant, staring enviously at the treasure ginseng stone in Zhou Yanyun's hand, and they were eager to replace them one by one.

"How do you judge the value of the Treasure Ginseng Stone?" asked one of the hunters.

The hunter was very honest now, glanced at Groot in fear, and then said: "The price of the Ginseng Stone is judged according to the age of the ginseng, the size of the gemstone, the image of the gemstone, the shape, and the color, and each factor may affect the price of the Ginseng Stone. Generally, if you sell it, there will be a professional gem dealer to evaluate it. Generally speaking, the price of ginseng stone with full color, high purity and clear image will not be too low. ”

"Based on your experience, how much will this treasure ginseng stone sell for?" asked Jiutian again.

"This piece is in good condition, full of color, round shape, clear image, and not small. If you want to sell it, the price is at least 600,000 or more. ”
