Chapter 19: Barrels and Tunnels

Ling Duan listened to the Great Elder's words, first confused for a while, and then asked, "Grandpa, Duan Er really can't imagine what problems can be with our own forest farm?

"Duan'er, you really guessed a few points right! I and the second elder of this Hongnan Forest Farm have been investigating for several days, but we have not found any problems."

"Until a few days ago, when a guard who was following the investigation was walking around the forest farm, he felt that a layer of soil underneath was not quite right, and it was very soft to step on."

"There were so many trees planted in the forest farm, and the soil was generally relatively compact, and then he dug up a layer of four or five centimeters of soil"

"There's a wooden barrel buried underneath, and when you take it out and open it, it's filled with fuel!" said the Great Elder with an angry expression.

"Huh?!...... What the hell is going on" Ling Duan was taken aback when he heard this, his face changed instantly, a few drops of cold sweat flowed from his face, and he stood up directly from the chair.

"Could it be that this barrel is the kind of barrel that Brother Han said that day, is the fuel oil in it added with igneous rock powder?!"

The Great Elder nodded and said, "After the wooden barrel was dug up, it was handed over to me for inspection, and it did have igneous rock powder."

"As soon as this thing touches a little spark, it's a barrel of explosives, which can instantly blow through that four or five centimeters of soil and ignite our forest farm."

"But don't worry, Duan'er, there are leads on the edge of that barrel, and we can dig out all the other barrels according to the direction of these leads."

"One-third of our Lin family's guards have been busy with this matter in the past two days, and it is estimated that all the barrels will be found before tonight."

Hearing this, Ling Duan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said.

"That's good, that's good, this barrel must be a good thing done by this Pang family, I'm wondering, why does this Pang family only attack the Zhao family, but they don't mean anything to attack our Ling family."

"It turned out that he was planning to destroy my Ling family's forest farm, it was really vicious, it was directly like destroying my Ling family's foundation!

Just as Ling Duan was speaking indignantly, there was a hurried knock on the door outside the Elder Hall, "Guards Ling Si and Ling Bei ask to see each other, there is an urgent matter to report!"

As soon as the Great Elder heard this voice, he hurriedly responded, "Enter."

Pushing the door in, there were two guards in light armor, both of whom looked hurried, and the guard on the left was Ling Si, the team leader sent by the Great Elder to the Hongnan Forest Farm to inspect and remove the wooden barrels, he stepped forward and said.

"Patriarch, elders, the wooden barrels of Hongnan Forest Farm have all been cleared, and after several rounds of inspection, there should be no hidden dangers underground."

"But a few of our guards found a tunnel on the edge of the wall at one end of the Hongnan Forest Farm, leading directly to the periphery of the Ling family's territory, dozens of meters, looking at the traces, it is estimated that it has been some time, it is not newly dug up, it is estimated that this wooden barrel was sent in from this tunnel."

Ling Si took a breath and continued; Because there was a lid on the exit of the tunnel, and it was covered with a shallow layer of soil, we didn't notice it at first, and it was only found out in the last round of inspection today."

As soon as Ling Xiong heard this, he instantly nodded as if he was in a daze, and said.

"No wonder! I analyzed it with several elders for a long time, and I didn't expect how this wooden barrel entered my Hongnan Forest Farm, and now I understand that it turned out that the Pang family dug the tunnel, what a good calculation."

"Great Elder, you arrange another team of people to block this tunnel overnight, seal all the entrances and exits, and check again by the way to see if this is the only tunnel."

Then Ling Xiong's gaze turned to Ling Bei and asked, "What did you report again?"

Ling Bei took a step forward and arched his hand to Ling Xiong and the elders, and said.

"The small one is the guard sent by the second elder to Linghong Forest Farm, our team also found a wooden barrel filled with fuel oil and a tunnel in our Linghong Forest Farm today, after an afternoon of investigation, the number of barrels is very small, and the traces of the tunnel are estimated to have just been dug."

Ling Xiong was furious when he heard this: he snorted coldly and said: "This Pang family's real wolf ambition, I have such a vicious device in both Hongnan Forest Farm and Linghong Forest Farm."

"Dare to attack the two most precious forest farms of my Ling family, this revenge is not avenged, where is the face of my Ling family, it seems that the time for our three major families to completely turn their faces is not far away." ”

Anger is anger, but Ling Xiong is not the leader of the Ling family, he quickly calmed down his indignation, and after a slight adjustment, Ling Xiong cleared his throat and said to everyone in the Ling family.

"In this dangerous activity, Ling Piaohan of the Ling Ping family has meritorious, by the way, we will start this year's quenching awakening in a few days, and when the time comes, I will personally give him the quenching awakening ceremony, which can be regarded as a reward for this little guy."

"In the next few days, the Great Elder continued to take care of the two forest farms, and the Second Elder went to rectify the guards that my Ling family usually patrolled in the territory."

"If even a place like Linghong Forest Farm in the center can be infiltrated, then these guards are too slack!

"As for Duan'er, you will continue to take care of the situation of the Zhao family, report any new situation immediately, if there is something as urgent as today, just help, and it is not too late to report afterwards. ”

After making the above arrangements, the heart that Ling Xiong had been hanging on was also a little more stable, after all, it had been a long time before.

Because of the attack that Ling Piaohan received, as well as the plan from the mouth of the man who attacked Ling Piaohan, and so on, Ling Xiong always had a feeling of unease in his heart.

Today's elimination of hidden dangers is really reassuring.

However, the Pang family also strongly expressed this behavior of the Ling family, the Pang family must have been unable to suppress their ambitions recently, and wanted to find an opportunity to weaken the strength of the Zhao family and the Ling family, waiting for an opportunity to annex these two families.

But judging from the distribution of the power of the three major families, this kind of behavior is extremely unreasonable, although the strength of the Pang family is far greater than that of the Zhao family and the Ling family, but the Zhao family and the Ling family resist together, and the comprehensive strength is still above the Pang family alone.

After all, two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, even if Zhao Ce, the head of the Zhao family, has now entered the customs, it is difficult for the three of the head of the Pang family, Pang Tianming, and Pang Chong to directly defeat the remaining combat power of the two major families of Ling and Zhao.

The only uncertain factor is that the Pang family spent a lot of money some time ago to invite back an offering from Gonan City, I heard that it was a wizard level, but I don't know if it is true or false.

If this worship itself is considered to be the top in terms of combat effectiveness, then it is really possible to directly destroy the Ling and Zhao families with the Pang family with their own strength.

The last few days have been really boring for Ling Piaohan, and he has almost completely mastered the two combat skills of Wind Surge and Huishen Spear.

At this stage, he didn't condense the battle qi, so even if his cultivation gained the improvement of the battle qi, he couldn't store it in his body, and his current state was boring for him.

When Ling Piaohan was wandering around the market these days, he also paid attention to the stalls selling related combat skills.

It is true that there are one or two more suitable third-order low-level combat skills of the gun system, but because of the shyness in the pocket, he can only leave helplessly after being greedy for a long time, and making money is a big problem for Ling Piaohan now.

Since Ling Ping couldn't give him too much pocket money now, he could only hope that he would be able to quickly improve his strength after awakening, and then have the ability to hunt some spirit beasts to obtain materials to sell.

However, Ling Piaohan thought about it again, since his current strength was able to fight against low-level warriors, then he should still be able to hunt some relatively low-level spirit beasts, such as the demon wolf or the red beast or the like.

After such a round of the little abacus in his heart, Ling Piaohan finalized his doctrine, he wanted to go to the back mountain to earn some pocket money for himself.

After lunch, Ling Piaohan walked around alone and came to the deep mountains on the periphery of the Ling family's territory, Changhong Town was located on the side of a mountain range.

And the territory of the Ling family is backed by the mountains, the quiet mountain forest is very cool, and the surrounding environment is full of towering trees.

Beneath your feet is an irregular patch of turf, and a cool mountain breeze blows between the trees.

The sound of birds chirping and the wind blowing the leaves in your ears, and the branches above your head blocking the scorching afternoon sun, this is indeed a good place to escape the heat.

Ling Piaohan waved his golden gun in his hand, cutting down the weeds and dead branches growing on the side of the road left and right.

His purpose today is to be able to come here to hunt a few spirit beasts and get some materials to sell, after all, he is really poor.
