Chapter 280 (1/2)
When Yuli volcano was besieged by wood, Gouzhu was starving at the bottom of the lake, looking at one hole after another like a huge well.
There are more than one of these pits all over the bottom of the lake. There is only one pit about a hundred feet long. It's hard to count how many. They are obviously not formed naturally, but are dug by artificiality or mana. Although old, there are still traces of excavation on the wall of the cave.
Such a huge project can never be completed in a short time. I don't know how many years it took.
Hook Zhu was itching unbearably again.
Since there are these big holes, there must be some precious mineral resources in them. Otherwise, who is willing to expend manpower and mana to do this? What's more, what they dig is not the ice that can be seen directly at the bottom of the lake.
Although burning ice contains extremely pure accumulated corpse Qi, it is basically useless except for making explosive weapons. Moreover, the ice can't be preserved, and it will dissipate as soon as it reaches the surface of the water. What's more, the ice is solidified on the surface of the lake bottom and should not be buried deep underground.
”Is it gold digging?” Gouzhu's eyes turned red and thought, and a picture of gold glittering everywhere and gold everywhere appeared in his mind. He stole all kinds of places, but he didn't steal gold, so he didn't know how wonderful the scene was.
However, he is no longer a thief, so he should not steal any more. Thinking of this, Gou Zhu shook his head again and again, thinking that it was obviously just a mine that others had already given up. If you go down to get some residue, it's not stealing. At most, it's just voluntary to help people clean up the garbage.
He tried to climb down the wall to see if he could get into the hole. It turns out that it always goes down to a hundred feet deep, and the bottom is filled with that oily black mud. It may be due to the collapse of the cross hole below. Gou Zhu took out his heart saving sword as a chisel. After digging for a long time, he did not see a trace of gold.
It's all black mud full of corpse gas.
Gou Zhu was so disappointed that he went back to the bottom of the lake with a lot of effort. He swore and continued to move forward. He completely broke the idea of making up for the loss of 10000 taels of silver from the bottom of the lake.
At this time, the 19th was obviously getting closer to him. I'm afraid the distance was less than two or three miles. It was just that the light at the bottom of the lake was too dark, and there were some undulating hills like protrusions, and he could not see each other for a moment.
He was also getting closer to Huang Lu, about ten miles away. It's just that Huang Lu feels more and more like something strange.
”The spring of death?” Gou Zhu was surprised. Although Huang Lu and Huang Quan were originally one, their divine consciousness gave him a very different feeling.
If Huang Quan takes any opportunity to master Huang Lu's body, he can still control it with the imprint of their spiritual consciousness and force it to overturn, so that Huang Lu can regain control of the body. But if the netherworld controls the body and flies away, hundreds or even thousands of miles away, he can't control it at all.
In this way, he became anxious and accelerated his pace.
In the direction of Gouzhu's direction, Li Chongxiu, a member of the shuide Academy of the five elements sect, was sent out by the elder Xing Ziming. He was driving the ghost water beetle to the place where his eyes were abnormal. It was just opposite to the direction of Gouzhu. They were going to meet each other soon.
At this time, he met three other small Ming shuigua, each of which had a monk. His accomplishments were between the triple and quintuple of the foundation, wandering in the water.
They were all dressed in monochrome black, with hats on their heads and big black cloaks. He Zong's disciple could not be seen at all. When they saw Li Chongxiu coming, they all said respectfully:
”senior brother Li, where are you going
”There seems to be an intruder. I'll go and have a look.”
”Oh? How can we forget our brothers when there is such a good thing
”It's no harm for you to come together. Your head is yours.” Li Chongxiu chuckled.
