Demon Lord 3

Chapter 1968 Desperado

We finally found the mine; it was very well hidden, and we even spotted it on the map. This map is actually quite useful. Xing Zhichuan, holding the map, walked ahead, feeling his way forward. Halfway there, he told us to stop, as it seemed like there was no path ahead. Lin Zhenfei stepped forward and asked, "Take a good look. Is there really no path ahead, or is it blocked? If there really isn't, then we've probably gone the wrong way. We can try another spot, or dig from the side. If it's blocked, I'll get two packs of explosives; we'll just blow it open." "To save time." Wu Luanshen smiled slightly: "I don't think that will work. This cave has been in disrepair for years. What if it collapses if we're not careful?" Lin Zhenfei waved his hand: "Brother, you're wrong. Caves don't have such a thing as being in disrepair for years. The key is that I saw this is a mine. I've been to mines like this before. There aren't many mines around here, and this is one of them. I've also looked into it. The explosives should be enough to blow it up. But I don't know if this cave is real. We're not professional tomb raiders. The key is that there's a difference between a mine and a tomb. Tombs are dug by hand." "Mine tunnels are different. Many are naturally formed. Many people can't find the right spot, so they try digging elsewhere. So we might be going the wrong way. Even if we blast it open, it won't help; we'll only get further away from that energy. But normally, if it's blocked, blasting it is quite convenient." Xing Zhichuan felt around and found a spot: "Found it. Everyone, start digging from here. We should be able to dig through, and water will flow out. Try to get that water out. I don't think there will be too much. Those people are afraid we'll find this place, so they've set up a trap to prevent us from easily finding the real entrance. But I believe this is the real entrance. We'll soon be able to uncover the truth, but I don't know how far it is inside." The tunnel is very narrow. This is a truly natural entrance, while the one above was dug out by someone, indicating that someone had been here before. There must be treasure here, but those people couldn't find the real place, so they gave up. Some people withdrew to try to divert the water, while the rest stood here, digging with their tools. We went out to find materials, and Lin Zhenfei chatted as we walked. He patted my shoulder and said, "Sister, I have an idea. If we use something like a water pump, it will definitely attract attention. Many people will come looking for us when they hear the noise, so we definitely can't use that. How about this: we dig another channel to divert the water elsewhere. Since there isn't much water, we'll divert it, just like in the story of Yu the Great controlling the floods. Blocking the water is useless; we have to find a way to divert it. But the location of that hole isn't easy to dig; the surrounding area..." "The rocks are very hard, Brother Chuan. The place we found is the only one we can dig with a shovel. I still want to use some explosives." Actually, I agreed with him when I heard this. If we don't use explosives, we'll definitely have to use a water pump, which will alert other teams. Then they'll all rush in, and we'll have to take care of the people there while also figuring out how to find the location of the spiritual energy as quickly as possible. I asked him why he carried explosives with him. He said it was a habit; he needed them when building houses before. Sometimes, demolition work is impossible without explosives. I smiled slightly; he was right. He scratched his head sheepishly, "Actually, back then I just wanted to scare people. Having explosives was better than anything else, right? It wasn't illegal back then, and construction sites even allowed us to use them to scare people. If we got into a fight, we'd just pull them out and set someone's house on fire." I was startled, "You're really something else, a real local bully! I didn't even realize you were this kind of person. If I had known, I wouldn't have recruited you. By the way, if you were to compare yourself to Wu Luanshen, who would be stronger?" He knew I was joking and laughed heartily. "There's no comparison. Brother Sen is definitely more capable than me. We're not even in the same league. I'm at most a local bully, someone who was a local bigwig back in the day. But Brother Sen is different. He's a desperado. He doesn't care about his life, but I do. We're not even in the same league. My skill is just for scaring people. I won't do anything else. It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I still want to make money and still want to go out and show my face." Hearing this, I was stunned. I didn't expect him to have such high emotional intelligence and to have thought of so much.
