Chapter 537 536. Rainbow Stone (5)

Li Du's tone was very bad. Of course, he didn't need to give these people a good look.

A few people still thought he was a softie, so they either folded their arms or puffed up their chests to surround him.

Sophie was worried that Li Du would suffer, so she hurried up to stand with him.

Li Du turned back and gave her a warm smile. He blocked Sophie, looked at the group of people with a sneer and said, "What's the matter, everyone, do you want to come up to ask for something to eat?"

These people didn't do anything directly, the young man with his bare upper body rubbed his chin and said, "You idiot, do you know that you are easy to get beaten when you talk like this?"

Li Du said: "Before you want to make a move, find out who your opponent is, so as not to be an unjust victim. The scenery in Winslow is good, but the countryside is a small place after all, and you don't have the vision to understand it."

After hearing his words, and seeing his determined expression and contemptuous eyes, the big men hesitated a little.

They provoked Li Du first because they were jealous that he had a beauty like Sophie, and second because they felt that he was soft, but now when they confronted each other, Li Du showed toughness beyond their expectations.

These people are not gangsters or military tough guys, let them bully the weak, and if the opponent is also strong, then they will not dare to do it.

After all, most white people are bullies.

After hearing Li Du's words, a big man with a cigarette in his mouth asked in a low voice, "Who is this guy?"

Li Du didn't want to fight with them. Sophie was here, and he could only rely on the ability of the little flying insect to fight. His own fighting skills were mediocre, so he might not be able to protect them well.

Therefore, the best way is to deter these people.

The voice of the big man with a cigarette fell, he immediately used the ability to slow down time, and at the same time strode forward, quickly and accurately pinched the cigarette and smoked it out.

After getting the cigarette, he took a step back, swiped his right hand, and pressed the cigarette butt on the shirtless young man to extinguish it.

Stepping back, the ability ended, he held up the cigarette butt to show them a glance, then flicked the cigarette butt away, and said with a blank expression: "Don't smoke in public."

It wasn't until this time that the shirtless young man screamed, "Fake, it hurts so much!"

He also dared to scold, Li Du made such a move, these ore pickers dared not do it.

In fact, not only did they dare not do anything, they were already stupefied with fright.

Li Du's attack was as fast as a ghost, and these people didn't even see clearly that the cigarette in their mouths had already been pinched away and burned.

Well, if Li Du is holding a knife in his hand...

Several people thought of this at the same time, they looked at each other, and walked back with their necks shrunk in a shameless manner, not daring to look at Sophie again.

Sophie hugged Li Du's waist from behind, and said with a soft smile, "Wow, why are you so good?"

Li Du spread out his hands and said, "Just go faster."

Sophie is also worried about conflicts between the two sides. She has a gentle and peaceful temperament, and she is satisfied when her opponent who provokes her is deflated.

Therefore, she took Li Du's hand and led him to the other side while talking.

There is a petrified forest where the two are located, so they walked around here hand in hand.

The scenery of the national park is very good. In addition to the natural petrified landscape, there are also some Indian buildings.

The area now surrounded by Petrified Forest National Park was inhabited by various Native American tribes before Columbus discovered the American continent, so some characteristic buildings remain.

Li Du checked the park's information on the way here, and seeing Sophie marveling at the scale of these petrified trees, he introduced them in a timely manner: "There are many legends and stories about them, do you want to hear them?"

Sophie asked expectantly, "What's there?"

Li Du said: "Do you know the Paiute people? This tribe believes that these petrified woods are the giant arrow shafts of Thor. The Navajo people believe that they are the bones of the mythical giant Yietso."

There are several small houses next to the woods, which used to be the residences of Indians, but are now circled for tourists to visit.

These houses were built by Indians using petrified trees and clay mud. They are fireproof, waterproof and strong. According to the introduction, the houses have existed for more than 1,200 years and have a long history.

The Indians are full of aesthetic taste. When they built these houses, they specially selected more beautiful stones. When the sun shines on the houses, some houses will emit colorful colors.

Sophie exclaimed: "No wonder this is called the agate house, they are really as bright and beautiful as agate!"

The two were visiting and playing, and someone screamed from the ore picker: "Fack Fake Fake! God, I found it!"

There are a lot of tourists here, and when they heard the scream of the picker, everyone turned their heads to look.

Other pickers gathered, and someone held a small stone and raised it over his head towards the tourists.

As it got closer, Li Du could clearly see what the stone looked like.

The stone was very small, about the size of his fingernail, shaped like a pebble, and had a cloudy orange-red color. The man held the stone high, and under the sunlight, a rainbow appeared inside the stone!

Sophie gasped when she saw it: "My God, it's so beautiful! This is Fire Opal!"

Opal is one of the most beautiful and precious gemstones in the world. Its chemical composition is a mixture of silicate molecules and water. It can be divided into colorless, white, light gray, dark gray and black. Opals of different colors There are different names and different charms.

What this person is holding up now is a piece of fire opal, which is one of the most precious types of precious opal, and is almost only produced in the back of Mexico and parts of the southern United States in North America.

Of course, the Petrified Forest National Park is an important production place for fire opal, and the ore pickers mainly come to find it.

However, fire opal is very rare, and there are very few people who can pick it up. Most people here mainly pick up beautiful agate stones and chalcedony stones.

Seeing the fire opal in this man's hand, the tourists immediately surrounded it, exclaiming:

"God, this thing is beautiful!"

"It's so pretty, honey, I love it!"

"This lucky bastard, he picked up the treasure!"

Li Du looked at Sophie's fascinated eyes and asked, "Do you like it?"

Sophie nodded subconsciously, then shook her head vigorously and said, "I don't like it very much. This fire opal is a bit cloudy. It's not very good. I don't like it very much."

Even a deaf person could hear the involuntary in her voice.

But she is right, this piece of fire opal is not the best, opal is gelatinous or liquid silica left in the formation cracks and caves to deposit and solidify into amorphous amorphous gemstone ore.

In this way, during the flow of silica, some things will be stained, such as animal and plant residues, tree fragments, carapaces and bones.

It is for this reason that the opal eventually becomes cloudy, and it is these things that form some magical landscapes in the opal, such as the rainbow in this opal.
