Chapter Seventy-Eight: Mining

Luo Yongsheng led a group of personal soldiers, occupied the magpie's nest, used Li Blacksmith's shop as a temporary torture room, and tortured the young man to extract a confession. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info After two days, the young man's body was burned by the soldering iron, and he only had half a breath left, but he still stiffened and refused to spit out half of the truth. Seeing this, Vice General Luo was afraid that he would kill this person and cut off the clue, so he called Lang Zhong to bandage this person's wounds, and comforted him with kind words, saying that he was also in urgent need of military supplies to revive the world, and he was not a person full of evil.

The young man listened to Vice Admiral Luo's kind words and comforted him, but suddenly opened his mouth, and said to Admiral Na Luo that he could lead them to gold mining, but he had to promise him two conditions, and if he couldn't do what he said, he would rather be beaten to death on the spot than confide in half a word.

Luo Yongsheng immediately promised and asked the young man what conditions he had. The young man paused for a moment, and immediately told Vice General Luo that there was a sinkhole world in the deep mountains not far from here, and it was necessary to use a rope basket to take off and land before entering and exiting. There was a naturally formed cave at the bottom of the pit, and he could take Vice Admiral Luo and the gold mining craftsmen to row a boat along the underground river of the cave, and not far away, he could reach a mining area, where there was an endless supply of gold. But the young man said that when they entered the cave, they could only mine gold, and they could not go further down the stream, and if they did not, they would beat him to death, and he would rather die than give in.

The young man continued to tell Adjutant General Luo that because the sinkhole was inaccessible, the gold miners had to live in the cave mining area and work for a long time, so they could bring their families, wives and children into the cave together to establish a living area in the mining area. In the end, the young man described the tools needed for gold mining and the excavation method to Vice General Luo one by one, and told the other party that only by agreeing to his conditions, he could immediately lead them into the cave and mine the gold veins.

When Luo Yongsheng heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately nodded and promised, and the young man asked him to make a poisonous oath to cut off his children and grandchildren, and Vice General Luo did the same.

After a few days, Luo Yongsheng caught more than ten craftsmen and their wives and children in the town, built a few light boats, and then went to General Chu, mobilized more than 20 people, all kinds of materials, torches and equipment, etc., and followed the young man into the deep mountains and dense forests outside the town. After a day of walking, I found a sinkhole on the top of the mountain, and the edge of the cliff was equipped with rattan baskets and ropes for people to go up and down. Vice General Luo counted the people and horses, took the supplies, and used the rope to enter the sinkhole. In the cave at the bottom of the sinkhole, an underground river was found that stretched straight, and everyone lit torches, put the materials and equipment prepared in advance, put them into the wooden boat, and entered the cave in batches. In less than half a day, they came to a naturally expanded cave, and at the end, there was an artificially dug cave, which was not deep, and under the light of the fire, the golden veins reflected a dazzling brilliance. The young man who accompanied him told Vice General Luo that this place was where the golden vein was, and he must not go any further, otherwise he would die without a place to be buried. Although Vice General Luo was puzzled, he was determined to be in the gold mine and was not too interested in other things, so he ordered his subordinates, a group of craftsmen, to land on the shore and set up camp around the mine to prepare for mining.

The cave is rich in gold veins, the gold content is very high, after the preliminary excavation work, has been established around the mine to establish a temporary living area, craftsmen day and night digging, his wife and children are responsible for making fires and cooking, Vice General Luo led his subordinates, by a few light boats, a steady stream of ore out, in the town to establish a workshop, ordered people to purify and process. Back and forth, the mine gradually deepened, but the gold veins did not decrease but increased, so two new mines were dug again, and then went to General Chu to mobilize more manpower, and for a time, the cave became a large-scale mining area.

The excavation work lasted for two months, but strange things gradually happened. One night, the young man who had been imprisoned in the mine suddenly escaped, and according to eyewitness craftsmen, two giants dressed in furs broke into the mine, rescued the young man, and robbed a boat, and attacked the wife of a craftsman, and abducted a woman. Vice Admiral Luo was unimpressed at first, thinking that his duty was to mine gold, and there was no need to go out of his way for a woman and venture into the depths of the cave. However, it was not long before the mine was attacked again, two more women mysteriously disappeared, and in the depths of one of the mines, strange noises continued to be heard, howling like evil spirits asking for their lives, which made people feel cold.

A few days later, the ship carrying the gold mine had another accident and was attacked by some unknown creature underwater, and a large hole was bitten open in the hull, and the two soldiers who were holding the mine were swallowed by the monster in the water. A few days later, while the women of the mining area were washing their clothes by the river, a huge bat monster suddenly flew out of their heads, as fast as lightning, and grabbed a woman in the air, dragged her into the depths of the cave, and disappeared without a trace.

The strange attacks in the past few days have caused panic in the people, and the craftsmen who excavated the gold mines have complained and demanded that Vice General Luo immediately lead the men and horses to the depths of the cave to find out the cause and rescue the abducted woman. On the one hand, Luo Yongsheng ordered people to strengthen the hull and use stronger wood instead; On the other hand, he led more than 20 personal soldiers, fully armed, in a small boat covered with iron sheets, and rowed into the depths of the cave, trying to find out what kind of monster it was, and actually repeatedly attacked the mining area.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked dozens of feet deep into the cave, several white trolls appeared at the bottom of the water, tearing the hull with their teeth and hitting their heads violently. But the boat was covered with iron sheets, and it was very strong, and the bullies in the water could not succeed for a while, but they only used their hard heads and kept ramming the boat, trying to overturn the wooden boat, and treat the people on board as a meal.

Vice General Luo and his subordinates had never seen such a huge monster in the water, and in a panic, the fire shot out, and after a burst of gunsmoke and noise, the corpse of a 5-meter-long oblate monster floated up from the water. But the sound attracted more monsters in the water, and a huge shadow flashed overhead, volleying at the soldiers on the ship. Seeing that the firepower was insufficient, Vice Admiral Luo had to order to flee back to the mining area, where he was strictly guarded, as long as the mining area was kept, nothing else mattered.

In the following month, there were several more attacks on and off, and clever craftsmen even used a woven rope net to capture a giant bat and lock it up in the depths of the mine. The bat was huge, with knotted muscles and a longer head, like a wolf's head, and a fierce and violent temperament. But attacks occur frequently, and there are still women who are accidentally taken away by flying monsters, or disappear for no reason, but the strange thing is that whether it is from the beginning of the strange incident, or the subsequent incident, it is all women who are attacked, and for men, those monsters must not be turned a blind eye, or they will be killed because they are blocked.

Luo Yongsheng thought, it turns out that these monsters have a special habit of women, this is not difficult, I can order my soldiers to go to the nearby villages to capture some women, sacrifice to the gods in the cave, and the matter of mining gold mines will definitely not be hindered again.
