In other words, the fire opals produced spanned over an area of ions, there were soions with less These few times, Li Du searched only for rich deposits as he needed to work on theh the little bug flew very fast and had a very good field of view, these ge the for quite a while, Li Du was unable to find a place that contained a rich aive up, the little bug passed a hillock and saw that there were also a few crushed rocks and ore frag this, Li Du became excited

As this piece of land did not consist purely of rocks and instead, consisted of soil and hillocks covered by rocks, it was likely that this piece of land had not been searched by anyone before

Due to geographical reasons, there were fewer fire opals and round

This place was an exception In fact, the ground that people saas for the rock-filled land Underneath the thin layer of soil, there were crushed rocks as well

As no one had searched this place before, the nureater After all, for the last hundred years everywhere else in the national park had been searched

The national park, which was a very fa the locals, had over 3,000,000 people visitors every year and approxie each day The people did not only come to admire the petrified forest but also to search for opals
