Chapter 552

As everyone knows, pure gold is not hard; on the contrary, it is very soft, and you only need to bite it once to break it.

And the toughness and ductility of pure gold are very strong.

Because pure gold can be pulled into thin threads or pressed into a sheet of paper.

So normally speaking, gold that doesn't reach a certain thickness cannot stop a bullet, but the bullet on the gold Wang An dug out was very obviously shot in with a gun.

The most critical problem is that this bullet hadn't grown copper green, which is to say, it hadn't rusted yet.

Then it can be seen that the time this gold was buried here was not long.

Either it was buried before freezing last year, or it was buried recently, that is, after the thaw.

Because copper, as a metal, in a humid environment like the riverside, would inevitably rust in less than a year.

Of course, these were also not the most important things, and the most important thing was that in this desolate mountain and wild ridge, someone must have come, and it was someone who had a gun.

Because of this, Wang An became so grave.

After Wang An held the gun and carefully observed a circle, he didn't discover any abnormal situation around him, but Wang An didn't dare to take it lightly at all, and also had a feeling of being a bit panicked.

It was mainly because in Wang An's impression, almost all people who specifically pan for gold in the wild are ruthless people.

For these people, killing people and killing pigs are basically no different. Sometimes because of uneven distribution, internal strife, or something, they would directly use knives and guns. Things like dead people are even simpler, like daily meals.

Simply put, these people don't have so-called human nature at all.

Speaking of this, some ignorant people, accurately speaking, "children" who are shallow in knowledge and haven't experienced life-and-death struggles, would ask: "How is it possible to kill people casually? How can there be such a weird thing?"

"Killing people just because you say so, is there no rule?"

"Where are there bandits and bullies? That's just nonsense!"

Etc., etc. To be honest, Wang An envies these people, accurately speaking, he envies these "children," because they are undoubtedly happy; at the very least, their lives have no waves, setbacks, or even dangers.

Because of this, they dare to express their very shallow understanding unscrupulously.

Just like that toad sitting in a well, they don't know how vast the world outside is at all, and they don't know at all what kind of incredible things are happening every day in the world they don't know about.

But what must be admitted is that although they are short-sighted and don't understand things, their mouths are foul! They speak all day like farting, wanting to fart whenever they want, and wanting to fart whatever they want.

They focus on "you are all wrong, only I am right," or "things I haven't seen don't exist," this kind of laughable speech and attitude.

It must be said that this is a matter that is very difficult to understand.

Wang An picked up the gold he had just put down, put it in his pocket, and then, while looking around, subconsciously said to the tail-less fox:

"Help me look, is there anyone else nearby?"

To be honest, Wang An at this time really didn't know what to do; it was mainly because Wang An was really afraid that someone would be ambushed nearby.

Furthermore, this kind of unknown danger really makes people feel insecure.

Because Wang An didn't know at all whether he could live to the next second.

The tail-less fox noticed Wang An's sudden change in expression and heard what Wang An said, so it might have realized that something was wrong, and it also looked around.

After looking around, the tail-less fox should have discovered nothing, so like when Da Hei positioned prey, it lifted its head and began to sniff with its nose. It must be admitted that the tail-less fox's performance at this time had completely shocked Wang An; this tail-less fox is indeed an existence even smarter than Da Hei.

After all, Da Hei was carefully trained by its previous owner before following Wang An.

And this tail-less fox is purely wild, and the time it has been in contact with Wang An is only a mere 10 days.

The key problem is that Wang An didn't train it.

So Wang An was really suspicious about the "Fox Immortal" matter.

However, at this time, Wang An, who was a bit panicked, didn't have the heart to study the tail-less fox deeply; saving his little life was the primary task at the moment.

Seeing the tail-less fox sniff a circle, it seemed like it smelled nothing, so it looked at Wang An again, as if saying:

"What are you asking me to look for? There is clearly nothing nearby!"

After Wang An finished looking at these performances of the tail-less fox, he immediately relaxed a lot, and at the same time felt that he seemed to be making too much of a fuss.

Wang An, who realized this point, reached out and touched the tail-less fox's head, saying with a smile:

"It's fine, let's go. By the way, thank you for this piece of gold."

As he spoke, Wang An turned and walked toward the horse.

And the tail-less fox, after hearing Wang An's words, squinted its eyes and had no other reaction.

On the road, Wang An suddenly had a whim and said to the tail-less fox:

"Buddy, why don't you consider hanging out with me? When we leave, you take your wife and children and come with me. I'll let your family eat meat every meal, and after that, you just follow me to look for treasure from time to time. What do you say?"

To tell the truth, these words of Wang An were absolutely sincere; it could be said there was not a bit of falsehood.

Because Wang An had already seen that this tail-less fox absolutely had the potential to become an "Immortal."

If there was such an "Immortal" by his side, Wang An believed that in the future, not only could he avoid bad luck and seek good fortune, but if he went into the mountains to do something else, he would definitely be able to have a greater harvest.

However, after Wang An finished speaking, he discovered that this tail-less fox didn't even look at him, which made Wang An feel very embarrassed.

Fortunately, at this time, beside Wang An, there was only one horse and this tail-less fox; otherwise, how shameful would it be.

Wang An, who didn't get a response, moved his mouth and stopped speaking.

Forcing things isn't a deal; you will never wake up a person who doesn't want to pay attention to you—no, it's a fox that doesn't want to pay attention to you.

Just as the one person, one horse, and one fox walked past this beach of scattered stones, followed the river past a hill, and headed toward another hill, the tail-less fox made a sound again.

Only this time, the tail-less fox didn't make any guidance, but its fur stood on end and it bared its teeth and brandished its claws, looking toward the hill.

It could be seen that this tail-less fox had obviously sensed something and was warning Wang An.

And after Wang An noticed the tail-less fox's performance, he took the 81-bar off his back.

The 81-bar is the proper invincible existence.
