Chapter 309: Chapter 309 Black Stone Chapter 309: Chapter 309 Black Stone He then handed the cloth bag to Gu Qiaoqiao.
Gu Qiaoqiao took it, opened it, and saw there were a dozen pieces, but she felt none of the excitement she had felt when obtaining the Gold Jade Stone.
Qin Yize had nearly had an accident because of this.
Looking at Qin Yize, she said apologetically, “Thank you, but I also need to apologize, it was close…”
Qin Yize waved his hand to cut her off, “It’s not your fault.”
“Did you cramp your leg or what happened?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked.
He didn’t want to and couldn’t tell Gu Qiaoqiao why he had passed out, and what he had seen before fainting.
He pursed his lips, crouched down next to Gu Qiaoqiao in silence, but took out a military knife and started digging in the sand beneath his feet.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s attention was successfully drawn to this by Qin Yize.
She looked at him curiously and couldn’t help asking, “Why are you digging a hole?”
Qin Yize paused for a moment before speaking, “To divert some river water here, let it settle, and then I’ll wash the wet clothes before taking them back.”
Gu Qiaoqiao blinked and did not speak.
Qin Yize liked cleanliness; those wet clothes were stained with grass and leaves, and he certainly couldn’t bear taking them back like that.
Gu Qiaoqiao stopped speaking and just casually looked around.
Suddenly she was startled.
She stood up and walked toward the place where they had come ashore.
There lay a black stone quietly among a pile of pebbles, noticeably conspicuous.
It hadn’t been there before.
Gu Qiaoqiao squinted thoughtfully, it seemed like Qin Yize had brought it up.
When she saw him, she hadn’t noticed anything in his hands.
But later, when he regained consciousness, he was holding her with one hand, and he indeed had something in his other hand.
Gu Qiaoqiao picked up the stone.
It seemed to be made of the same material as her Mysterious Dragon Box.
It was really strange.
The moment her fingers touched the black stone, a coolness traveled towards her fingertips.
And the tips of her fingers seemed to shine with a faint glow.
This was something valuable.
By then, Qin Yize had finished digging the water pit and had created a channel to bring in water from the Da Jiang.
Soon, the pit was filled with water.
The next step was to wait for the sediment to settle.
He looked up at Gu Qiaoqiao and then his expression became stern.
He suddenly remembered that just before he passed out, he had grabbed hold of the stone.
And it had come ashore with him.
His mind had been in turmoil at the time, so he must have left the stone in the sand.
He walked towards Gu Qiaoqiao.
“This black stone is made of the same material as the Mysterious Dragon Box,” Gu Qiaoqiao hurriedly informed Qin Yize.
Qin Yize nodded, “Yes, I noticed that at the time.”
“Was it under the river?”
“Yes, not far from the Gold Jade Stone…” Qin Yize looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, “Did you feel anything else when holding the stone?”
After speaking, he intently gazed at Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression.
“It feels slightly cool and very soothing, quite similar to the feeling of the Mysterious Dragon Box,” Gu Qiaoqiao described softly.
Qin Yize’s worries eased.
Looking at Gu Qiaoqiao, he said gravely, “The water has settled, go wash up.”
Just as she was about to take the stone with her, Qin Yize stretched out his hand, “Let me see that black stone.”
Gu Qiaoqiao handed the black stone to Qin Yize.
She then suddenly remembered Roaring Tiger Forest from her previous life, which Qin Yize had stumbled upon during a routine inspection at the test site.
