Chapter 170 Mine Tunnel
If the demon hunters dig these spiritual mines, they will have no worries about food and drink for ten years. But if the Qian family digs them, the Qian family will use this to grow stronger and will bully them.
Although the spiritual mines are important, the mine tunnels are still the top priority.
After all, the mine tunnels are related to whether everyone can retreat safely. Elder Yu can still distinguish between the important and the unimportant.
Elder Yu asked everyone to concentrate on digging the mine tunnels first. After a few days, the mine tunnels were dug and there was a way to escape. The demon hunters turned to mine the spiritual mines.
Elder Yu used his stingy skills to the extreme. He strolled in the mine cave every day when he had nothing to do. He would use his fingers to pick off any spiritual mines on the wall and put them into the storage bag.
According to Elder Yu, everything that can be mined must be mined, leaving no penny for the Qian family. The Qian family will eat up the meat and soup, and even if they lick along the edge of the bowl, they can't get a drop of soup!
Mo Hua looked at him with admiration.
He just said to be more extreme, but he didn't expect it to be so extreme! As expected of Elder Yu!
Mo Hua benefited a lot.
Elder Yu's mining activities were also discovered by the Qian family monks.
Qian Hong knew Elder Yu's plan, so he sent people to watch around Dahei Mountain early to find clues of the demon hunter.
Mining is impossible without any movement.
And the Qian family did find the trace of the demon hunter.
It was a pit with gravel on the edge, and the hole was covered with grass and trees to cover it.
Qian Hong sneered in his heart, "Yu Changlin, Yu Changlin, like a rat, burrowing and digging holes, didn't he fall into my hands in the end?"
Qian Hong asked people to watch, but after several days, no demon hunter came out.
Qian Hong frowned and ordered Qian Zhuang to lead a team to take a look.
Qian Zhuang took the order and took a few Qian family monks and carefully entered the pit.
The tunnel was dark and damp, surrounded by gravel, and it looked like it had just been dug.
Qian Zhuang and his men searched for a long time but found nothing. They didn't see any demon hunters or other people.
When Qian Zhuang was puzzled, a monk from the Qian family found a stone wall with a lighter color. When he tapped it with his fingers, it made a sound, indicating that the stone wall was very thin.
The monks from the Qian family looked at each other and were excited.
This meant that there was nothing behind the stone wall, and there was a mine tunnel, and this stone wall was used to hide people's eyes and ears.
The group of demon hunters were hiding behind the stone wall!
Qian Zhuang led his men to chisel the stone wall with all their strength.
The stone wall collapsed and dust filled the air.
When the dust dissipated, they saw an eye as big as a copper bell with blood-red vertical pupils.
Qian Zhuang took a breath of cold air.
This is not a demon hunter, but an adult demon beast in the late stage of the first grade!
The monster's eyes were filled with doubt, anger, and bloodthirsty joy.
It was confused about why there was someone in its nest; it was angry that it was woken up by someone while resting; it was happy that there was food delivered to its doorstep just after waking up!
In the narrow pit, the monster hunted and ate, and the Qian family monks fled frantically.
When Qian Zhuang and his men saw Qian Hong miserably, they looked horrible.
Qian Zhuang was seriously injured, but at least he was intact. The others were basically missing arms and legs, and a few of them stayed in the pit forever, resting in the monster's belly.
Qian Hong's expression could no longer be so calm.
Even though he was very cunning, he was extremely angry at this time, gritting his teeth and said:
"You are so good, Yu Changlin, you dug a fake mine next to the monster to deceive me! You are too much!"
The Qian family disciples bowed their heads and dared not 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 was unsure.
This mine tunnel might be real, but it might also be a trap set by Yu Changlin to trick him.
But since 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 pit.
As expected by Qian Hong, there were indeed monsters in the pit.
The Qian family disciples who investigated came back, but not completely.
They were still missing limbs and still lost several lives.
They were careful, but their precautions were meaningless in front of the monsters.
The pit connected to the monster's nest, the vision was dim, the terrain was narrow, and it was inconvenient for the cultivators to move forward and backward, but the monsters living here were like fish in water.
Monsters are stronger than cultivators of the same realm. Experienced monster hunters need to find an open place to hunt monsters. Several or even more than ten people need to patiently deal with them to surround and kill the monsters.
The Qian family cultivators are not good at hunting monsters. Entering such a narrow and dark nest is basically like delivering food.
Their resistance is just a way to entertain the monsters before they eat.
Qian Hong's blood gradually surged, and he wanted to curse Yu Changlin, but for the sake of the dignity of the head of the family, he still endured it, but his mood could not calm down for a long time.
After that, the Qian family discovered two more mine tunnels, but Qian Hong did not dare to send people down.
He did not dare to block the Qian family disciples' lives.
He finally figured out one thing. Yu Changlin was a demon hunter who had been dealing with the Black Mountain all his life. He was very familiar with everything in the mountain. He didn't know everything about it, but at least he knew much more than he did.
It was basically a pipe dream to find the mine tunnel he dug in the mountain.
And if he found it wrong, he would have to sacrifice several lives. He couldn't afford the cost of trial and error.
It was true that he was the head of the Qian family, but he didn't have to be the head of the Qian family.
Qian Hong looked solemn and frowned.
Qian Zhongxuan watched from the side, sneering in his heart. Did he know how powerful Yu Changlin, the old man, was?
Now he hoped that Qian Hong would be unlucky.
The more successful Qian Hong was in this attack on the spiritual mine, the more failed he, Qian Zhongxuan, was.
On the contrary, the more frustrated Qian Hong was, the less noticeable his defeat would be.
Qian Zhuang saw Qian Zhongxuan's expression from the side and understood his plan in his heart.
I couldn't help but feel a sense of heroism.
"The head of the family failed, so Elder Qian's failure is nothing. Similarly, because Elder Qian failed, my failure is nothing either..."
"And now that the head of the family and Elder Qian have both failed, my failure is even less worth mentioning!"
Qian Zhuang felt relieved instantly, and the bleeding wounds on his body didn't hurt much.
Since they couldn't find the mine tunnel used by the demon hunters to escape, and couldn't 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.
There were seven or eight entrances to the mine, and the Qian family monks were divided into teams and moved forward in unison, trying to open them all up.
In this way, the Qian family monks rushed forward, and the demon hunters who had run out of medicine and food could not hold on for long.
In the next few days, the Qian family worked day and night to chisel the wall.
Qian Hong was calm on the surface, but he was really anxious inside.
He knew that if he was late, Yu Changlin would run away after digging the spiritual ore, and then his efforts would fail!
With a loud bang, another stone wall collapsed.
Behind the collapsed stone wall, as Qian Hong expected, there was indeed a third stone wall, and also a third formation!
Qian Hong felt a surge of anger rushing up to his head, 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!"
