Chapter 309: Digging a Hole
From sunrise and sunset, to dusk and early morning, Du Tan led a group of carefully selected spirit beast sergeants who were good at digging, and they had been tirelessly digging for more than ten hours.
During this period, people can only get some short breaks when they are eating or when it is convenient, and spend most of the rest of their time working with sand, gravel and soil.
Although almost everyone is exhausted by now, it is also very gratifying to see that this deep pit is digging deeper and deeper, and it has extended about half a mile away.
After all, through hard work, it has finally paid off, and now the plan expected by Cinnabar has been basically completed, but it is only the first day, and such a wide deep pit has been dug.
Cinnabar didn't inform Doutan in advance that he wanted to come to inspect it, he rode a one-horned pegasus alone, and didn't even bring a chaperone, so he wandered all the way to the site where Doutan marked the excavation!
In order not to attract the attention of the Chiguo people, Doutan chose the excavation site in a dense forest after repeated measurements.
Seeing the figure of cinnabar appear, a few corrective shadows flew directly from the woods.
They were all guards at the entrance of the cave who had been ambushed here in advance, closely monitoring the wind and grass around them, but when they found out that the person who came was actually the main general of the spirit beast army who went out to the Red Country this time, they hurriedly bowed down and saluted!
Cinnabar looked calm and waved to them softly, indicating that he had only come to inspect alone, and told them to remain silent.
After the figures of several guards disappeared into the woods again, Cinnabar came to the entrance of the hole that had been dug up!
He cautiously used his psychic powers to peer into the interior of the black hole.
First of all, it was found that this black hole was vertically downward, and after reaching the bottom for about ten meters below, it showed a right-angle trend, which was in the direction of Chiguo, which was ten miles away!
This seems to be like a rectangular corridor, due to the limitation of the angle, you can only vaguely see that this rectangular corridor is surrounded by mud and stone masonry, and the space is not very narrow, and the width is enough for two people to pass through in parallel.
Not only that, but as the corridor went deeper and deeper into the interior, even the air in the entire tunnel was not muddy.
Cinnabar immediately retracted his senses, and an idea suddenly sprung up in his heart, that is, to go down and experience this tunnel corridor for himself, and to meet the Doutan who was struggling to dig!
As soon as he said and did, he almost did not hesitate to jump directly into the hole, and in an instant his feet touched the flat dirt floor, and when he reached out and stroked the smooth wall on his side, the heart that was originally a little hanging suddenly settled down a lot!
This guy Doutan, sure enough, has two brushes, Mo said that under such high intensity, he can dig such a long distance, and even the waterproofing of the cave wall in the tunnel is also extremely good!
In fact, Cinnabar is extremely confident in Doutan, after all, it is autumn, and under the deep layer of the ground, there is a thick layer of frozen soil, and I don't know what kind of effort Doutan has relied on to quickly complete such a long excavation distance.
Cinnabar suddenly became a little worried in his heart, if the intensity of their labor was too heavy, he was afraid that it would cause unnecessary damage to their bodies in the future!
And if they are unable to follow up, it will inevitably affect the progress of the original siege plan, and then the gains will outweigh the losses!
Just as Cinnabar was on the way, there was a sound from the front!
"Boom la la ........."
A slight sound of dirt falling sounded, and in an instant, in a pitch-black space in front of him, countless dust and mist scattered out in all directions!
Cinnabar frowned, his figure was like electricity, and he had already swept directly towards that place!
But when he arrived at the dusty and misty area, before he had time to take a closer look, he saw Dou Tan suddenly poke his head out of the dust and mist, shaking his head and shaking his body, and the two pairs of thick claws condensed by the life force behind him were spinning up and down as fast as the wind!
The dust and fog and the violent noise were obviously the ones who were wreaking havoc on the ground around him with his claws, and he was in a state of disgrace at the moment, perhaps because of the vigorous movement, and he couldn't stop panting for breath in his mouth.
"Lord General, why are you here to pull it?" Dou Tan asked in surprise and joy when he saw the cinnabar in front of him!
"Come and see the progress of your excavation, and by the way, help you boost your spirits!"
Cinnabar asked with some concern: "Doutan, this time is really hard for you, but now we can't relax, our task is still very arduous, you must know that once this excavation plan can be successful, we can take the Red Kingdom without blood!"
"I understand, Lord General, you can rest assured, we will definitely not disappoint you!" said Du Tan with his head held high and his face was resolute!
He turned abruptly and shouted into the mist, "The Lord is here, you might as well come out!"
With his shout, dozens of dusty sergeants came out of it, most of these spirit beast soldiers were earthworms, blind snakes, squirrels, etc., and even the legendary "three digging giants": pangolins, rhinos, and aardvarks!
When they saw the Lord coming, their originally tired and abnormal expressions were suddenly swept away, and they all looked at the cinnabar with excitement under their spirits!
"Thank you for your hard work, I believe you have all understood this mission, it is extremely important for us to successfully break through the Red Kingdom City and reduce the casualties of the spirit beast army, and it depends on you whether it succeeds or not!"
Cinnabar was a little emotional, and said emotionally: "If you do an excellent job, I will ask you for credit on behalf of the whole army, and even give you a promotion reward as appropriate!"
"If there are any requirements and things that need to be solved, just put them forward, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not wronged you!"
"Thank you Lord General for your care, we don't need any rewards now, for the victory of our spirit beast clan, we will fight to the end!"
This group of spirit beast soldiers with dusty faces, although they are all dirty, their spirits are higher than the other, and their voices are surprisingly high!
"Well, that's good, since that's the case, I won't delay and bother you!"
Cinnabar smiled and looked at Dou Tan and said, "Dou Tan, you continue to lead them to excavate, and I will hand over everything here to you!"
Dou Tan grinned, patted the soil in his hand honestly, and said with a smile: "Lord General, you don't have to worry about it here." I vouched for the head of the item, and if I couldn't complete the task by then, he could kill me according to the military order. ”
"You've got the guts, but that's not what I need!"
Cinnabar's face suddenly became a lot more solemn and said: "This is a bloody war, it is not a child's play, it will affect the whole body, if you make a mistake in this link, our entire spirit beast vanguard army will be unlucky!"
He took a deep breath, and his tone suddenly became much colder: "I believe that you all understand the importance of this matter, then let's do it well, I will wait for the news of your victory in the main formation of the spirit beast army!"
