Chapter 283 Raw Gold Ore (Ch 283)

The Kingdom of Wind, the Demonic Desert, and the Underground Ruins.

As soon as Yue Yan arrived here, he saw a soldier ant walking towards him. Yue Yan, who was already familiar with this, turned over and sat on the back of the soldier ant, letting it carry him to the queen ant’s nest.

When she saw Yue Yan, the queen ant waved her claws and greeted him like a human.

“My friend, you are here.”

“Here we are. This time we brought a lot of sea fish.”

As he spoke, Yue Yan summoned the blue snake over and asked it to spit out the entire scroll.

Yue Yan casually picked up a scroll that was several times larger than his others, walked to the open space, input chakra to activate it, and immediately flew into the air.

Then countless sea fish covered with ice chips gushed out like a fountain, quickly covering the open space.

Yue Yan took a quick look, picked up two sea fish he had eaten before, walked to the queen ant, handed one of them to it, and then an electric arc lit up in his palm, roasting the fish.

“How far is it from the 100,000 I mentioned?”

“There are only about 2,000 missing. I have to thank you for sending me so many stones that contain a lot of life energy.”

As she spoke, the queen ant opened her huge jaws and bit off a large piece of the more than half a meter long frozen fish in her claws.

“It’s about the same as I calculated.”

Yue Yan also started eating. After traveling for such a long time from Konoha to here, he was a little hungry.

In this way, each man and each ant ate while watching a group of worker ants below carrying the sea fish.

After putting the last piece of fish tail into her mouth, the queen ant opened her mouth again.

“Although I’ve said it before, I still want to thank my friends for their help.”

As the queen ant gave orders in her collective consciousness, a dozen strong soldier ants came in, dragging a pile of ore.

“I asked the worker ants to find some of the metal that my friend told me about before.”

Hearing this, Yue Yan stepped forward to check.

Looking at the golden spots on the surface of the ores, Yue Yan’s brows gradually raised.

He transformed his right hand into a thunder beast, grabbed a piece of ore, and released high-temperature lightning. Not long after, the ore began to melt gradually.

When all the ore melted and turned into liquid, Yue Yan sprayed water from his mouth to help cool it down.

With a crackling sound and a large amount of steam rising up, a piece of metal divided into several layers appeared on the palm of Yue Yan, and the bottom layer was a dazzling gold color.

After picking it off with his claws, Yue Yan took a bite with his teeth. After confirming that it was gold, he couldn’t help but show a look of surprise.

In the ninja world, gold is also a very valuable precious metal, enough to be spent as money.

Although the piece of gold in Yue Yan’s palm is only as big as a thumb nail, it is more than enough ore.

If he could use sea fish to hire ants to help him mine, then he wouldn’t be a ninja at all. He could just be the richest man in the ninja world.

Yue Yan fantasized that when he walked back, the gold in his hand had been rolled into a ball.

“You seem happy?”

The queen ant tilted her head and looked at Yue Yan who was in a silly smile. She didn’t understand why he was so happy when it was just some useless metal.

“Of course I am happy. These are all good things.”

Although it is unknown how much gold can be smelted from these ores, judging from the smelting results just now, it will definitely make up for the money Yue Yan spent on buying fish, and he may even make a little profit, but these are not the most important things.

Yue Yan calmed down his mood of impending wealth and looked at the queen ant again.

“How much of that ore is left?”

Although she didn’t understand, the queen ant still stretched out a small claw and tapped her chin, recalling.

“According to the information sent back by the worker ants, there should be a lot of this ore left.”

“Great, can I trade fish for this kind of ore? Two soldier ant-sized pieces of ore for a fish stored in the scroll just now?”

After listening, the queen ant thought for a moment and shook her head.

Although Yue Yan was a little disappointed about this, he could understand it. After all, ants are not creatures that specialize in mining, and this kind of thing is too difficult for them.

“Friends have helped us a lot. There is no need for friends to provide anything more. As long as you need it, we can help you dig those ores.”

Perhaps it was because she had long ceased to be a human being, Yue Yan could actually see sincerity in the queen ant’s expressionless face.

This made Yue Yan feel somewhat touched and helpless.

What touched me was that the queen ant really treated me as a friend, and the kind of friend who only cared about your own good.

What’s helpless is that I still look at it with human thinking, forgetting that there are no twists and turns here.

“I accept my friend’s kindness, so I’ll take the ores. If you have time, just help me mine some. There’s no need to change your mind for this.”

Yue Yan smiled and stretched out his hand.

“Next time I come, I will bring some delicious food to see you.”

Looking at the hand that Yue Yan stretched out, the queen ant thought for a moment, then also stretched out her claws and gently held hands with Yue Yan.

“Looking forward to seeing you next time.”

After Yue Yan chatted with the queen ant for a while, he used the empty storage scroll to pack up the gold ore.

After arriving in the desert, Yue Yan began to use the thunder in his body to perform simple smelting.

Although Yue Yan’s technique was rough and there might be a lot of gold left, it was enough.

Looking at the dozen or so gold brick-sized pieces of gold that had been refined, Yue Yan’s smile never faded, and he happily hurried towards Konoha.

Just a few days after returning to Konoha, it was the wedding of Zabuza and Haku, and Yue Yan set off for the Land of Fire.

After arriving at the destination, just as Yue Yan had guessed before, there were very few people.

Besides herself, there was only Mei Terumi, Ao and Chojuro who served as her bodyguards, and Shiro’s mother Akiko.

Jingzi is a little old now, but still very energetic. After seeing Yue Yan, she smiled and called him “Sir Yue Yan”.

After all, without Yue Yan’s initial help and money, perhaps the mother and son would have died somewhere unknown.

Just as Yue Yan and Jingzi were chatting, Zabuza walked into the room. After first calling Jingzi “Mom” in a somewhat unnatural but unusually firm voice, he waved his hand, indicating that he had something to talk to Yue Yan about.

In response, Yue Yan shrugged and followed.

“What’s wrong?”

“Well…” Zabuza said unnaturally: “Can I ask you to be the master of ceremonies at the wedding?”

“ha?”

Yue Yan blinked and looked at Zabuza in confusion.

“I don’t have any experience in this area?”

“It’s just a few simple words, and then we go through the formalities, such as wedding speeches and exchanging rings.”

“Forehead……”

Yue Yan scratched his head, somewhat resistant.

“Can’t you find someone else? I feel like Ao is great, and Mei Terumi is also fine. As the Mizukage, it will be very prestigious for me to host your and Shiro’s wedding.”

Hearing this, Zabuza gave a bitter smile.

“You don’t think they’re really coming to attend the wedding?”
