If the demon hunters dig these spiritual mines, they will have enough to eat and drink within ten years. But if they are poached by the Qian family, and the Qian family uses it to grow stronger, it will bully them.
Although the spiritual mine is important, the matter of the mine tunnel is still the highest priority.
After all, the mine tunnel is related to whether everyone can evacuate safely. Elder Yu can still distinguish clearly what is more important.
Elder Yu asked everyone to focus on digging the mine tunnel first. After a few days, when the mine tunnel was dug and there was a way to escape, the demon hunters would then mine the spiritual mine.
Elder Yu used his stingy skills to the limit. He walked around the mine every day when he had nothing to do. He would pick out any bits of spiritual mineral from the wall with his fingers and put them into a storage bag.
According to Elder Yu, everything that can be mined must be mined, and no one is left for the Qian family. Even the meat and soup are eaten clean, and even the Qian family can lick along the rim of the bowl, but they can’t lick a drop of soup!
Mo Hua looked at it with admiration.
He just said he would do it to the best of his ability, but he didn’t expect it to be so good! As expected of Elder Yu! Ink painting has benefited a lot.
The activities of Elder Yu’s mining tunnel were also discovered by the monks of the Qian family.
Qian Hong knew Elder Yu’s plan, so he sent people to watch around Dahei Mountain early, looking for clues about the demon hunter.
It’s impossible for things like mining tunnels to go unnoticed.
And the Qian family did find traces of the demon hunter.
It was a pit entrance with gravel on the edge, and the entrance was covered with vegetation to conceal it.
Qian Hong sneered in his heart, “Yu Changlin, Yu Changlin, like a mouse digging holes in the camp, didn’t he fall into my hands in the end?”
Qian Hong had people watching him, but after several days, no demon hunter came out.
Qian Hong frowned and asked Qian Zhuang to lead the team down to take a look.
Qian Zhuang took the order and carefully entered the tunnel with several Qian family monks.
The tunnel was dark and damp, surrounded by gravel, and it looked like it had just been dug out.
Qian Zhuang and the others searched inside for a long time, but found nothing. They saw neither the demon hunter nor any other people.
When Qian Zhuang was puzzled, a monk from the wealthy family discovered a stone wall with a lighter color. If he tapped it with his finger, a sound would be heard, indicating that the stone wall was very thin.
The monks from the Qian family looked at each other with excited expressions.
This shows that there is an empty space behind the stone wall, and there is a mine tunnel, and this stone wall is used to hide people’s eyes and ears.
Those group of demon hunters are hiding behind the stone wall! Qian Zhuang led his men and worked hard to cut through the stone wall.
The stone walls collapsed and dust filled the air.
After the dust dissipated, what they saw was an eye the size of a copper bell with blood-colored vertical pupils.
Qian Zhuang took a breath of cold air.
This is not a damn monster hunter, but a late-stage first-grade adult monster!
The monster’s eyes showed a bit of confusion, a bit of anger, and a bit of bloodthirsty joy.
It was confused because there was no one in its nest; it was angry that it was woken up by someone while it was resting; it was happy that something was delivered to the door as soon as it woke up!
In the narrow pit, monsters hunted and ate, and the monks of the Qian family fled frantically for their lives.
When Qian Zhuang and others saw Qian Hong, they looked miserable.
Qian Zhuang was seriously injured, but at any rate, he was completely intact. Several others were basically missing arms and legs, and a few others remained in the pit forever, resting in the belly of the monster.
Qian Hong’s expression could no longer be so calm.
Even though he was very deep in the city, he was extremely angry at this moment, gritting his teeth and said:
“Well, Yu Changlin, you dug a fake mine next to the monster to trick me! That’s too much!”
The disciples of the Qian family lowered their heads one after another and did not dare to speak.
After a while, another disciple of the Qian family came to report that another mine tunnel had been discovered.
Qian Hong’s eyes twitched and he felt uncertain.
But now that it was discovered, it was impossible not to investigate.
Qian Hong ordered several more disciples to go and told them to be careful and beware of monsters in the potholes.
As Qian Hong expected, there were indeed monsters in the pothole.
The disciples of the Qian family who investigated are back, but not completely.
Still missing arms and legs, still missing a few lives.
They were careful, but in front of the monster, their precautions were meaningless.
The potholes are connected to the monster beast’s lair. The vision is dim and the terrain is narrow. It is inconvenient for the monks to move forward and retreat, but the monster beasts who live here are like a fish in water.
Monsters are inherently stronger than monks of the same realm. An experienced monster hunter would still have to find an open place to hunt monsters, and several or even a dozen people would patiently deal with them to surround and kill the monsters.
The Qian family monks are not good at hunting monsters. Entering such a narrow and dark lair is basically to deliver food.
Their resistance was just to entertain the monsters before they ate.
Qian Hong’s blood gradually surged, and he wanted to curse Yu Changlin, but for the dignity of the family leader, he endured it, but his mood could not be calm for a long time.
Later, the Qian family discovered two more mine tunnels, but Qian Hong did not dare to send anyone down.
He didn’t dare risk the lives of Qian family disciples.
He finally figured out one thing. Yu Changlin was a demon hunter and had been dealing with Dahei Mountain all his life. He was very familiar with everything in this mountain. If not he knew everything about it, at least he knew much more than he did.
Trying to find the mining tunnel he dug in this mountain is basically a dream.
And if he makes a mistake, he will lose several lives. He cannot afford the cost of trial and error.
It is true that he is the head of the Qian family, but he does not necessarily have to be the head of the Qian family.
Qian Hong looked solemn and frowned tightly.
Qian Zhongxuan watched from the side and couldn’t help but sneer in his heart. Do you know how powerful this old man Yu Changlin is? Now he wishes Qian Hong bad luck.
The more successful Qian Hong was in capturing the Ling Mine this time, the more he, Qian Zhongxuan, failed in comparison.
On the contrary, the more Qian Hong is frustrated, the less conspicuous his failure will be.
Qian Zhuang saw Qian Zhongxuan’s expression from the side and immediately understood his plan.
I couldn’t help but feel that the hero saw the same thing.
“If the head of the family fails, then Elder Qian’s failure is nothing. Similarly, if Elder Qian fails, then my failure is nothing…”
“And now that the head of the family and Elder Qian have lost together, my defeat is even less worth mentioning!”
Qian Zhuang felt much relieved instantly, and the bleeding wounds on his body no longer hurt much.
Since they couldn’t find the mine tunnel that the demon hunters used to escape, and couldn’t intercept and kill them, the only thing the Qian family could do was to attack head-on, break the formation, and break the stone wall at the entrance of the cave.
There are seven or eight entrances to the mine. The monks from the Qian family divided themselves into queues and moved forward together, striving to open them all.
In this way, the monks of the Qian family swarmed forward, and the demon hunter who had run out of medicine and food could not last long.
In the next few days, the Qian family worked day and night to chip away at the wall.
Qian Hong looked calm on the outside, but he was really worried inside.
He knew that if it were too late and Yu Changlin finished digging the spiritual mine and ran away, he would have failed this time!
With a roar, another stone wall was torn down.
Behind the collapsed stone wall, as Qian Hong expected, there is indeed a third stone wall, and there is also a third formation! Qian Hong felt a surge of anger rushing towards Tianling Gai, and he wanted to tear the formation master who drew this formation into pieces! But he had no choice but to suppress his anger, close his eyes, and waved his hand helplessly: “Keep digging!”
