Chapter 742 - Diamond? (1/2)

It was lively with the family of seven in the sealed house, and the aroma of food, as well as the warmth of home, permeated the air.

Bai Qingqing was the first to finish eating. After rinsing her mouth, she squatted next to the animal skin bag to look at the rocks.

There were all sorts of rocks of various sizes in the bag; some were round, and some were square, but there was one thing in common between them—they were all heavy, which meant their densities were high.

“Is there metal in these rocks?”

Bai Qingqing picked them up piece by piece. Under the illumination from the luminous balls, she noticed an indistinct metallic luster in the rocks.

Could it be that such rocks contained metal?

Winston wolfed down all the meat, then said as he washed his hands, “I asked them to look for heavy rocks, after which I selected from what they found. All these rocks contain the scent of something like metal.”

Bai Qingqing was speechless.

Did metal have a scent?

Bai Qingqing quietly found her nail clipper. She tried sniffing at it but didn’t detect any scent.

Winston walked to her side and crouched down. After coaxing the baby to sleep, Parker also walked to her other side. The trio started studying the rocks with their heads pressed close together.

“I’m sure this rock contains metal.” Parker weighed a spiky rock and said, “It’s very heavy. Even if it’s not metal, I’m sure it’s something even tougher than metal.”

Winston had wanted to take the rock from him to take a look, but before he could do so, Bai Qingqing took the rock from Parker’s hand and peered at it using the illumination from the luminous ball.

This rock was truly different from the rest. Likely, it was forcibly pried apart by someone, for it was surrounded by asparagus-like sharp spikes, and inside, there was a dense and multifaceted object that appeared transparent under the hazy lighting.

Smudging it with a finger, the transparent rock’s surface got stained with an oily glow, after which no matter how one tried, it couldn’t be wiped clean.

“Is this metal?” Bai Qingqing gently rapped the transparent rock with a sharp rock. “Or is this jade?”

“Crush it, and you’ll know what it is.” As Parker spoke and snatched the rock back. Bam! The rock was smashed apart.
