Chapter 42: Excavation
Obviously, Chen Mu is not the first tourist to think of the blood orchid in the deep pool.
After the tourists were forced to flee under pressure from the Headhunter warriors, they did not have a clear direction to escape. And the blood orchid in the deep pool is like a guide, attracting them to go and observe the movement.
Although it had collapsed, if there was a chance to get those blood orchids, it would be an unexpected gain.
Because Chen Mu took Wang Boxing to complete the transaction with Geng Shihao, he was delayed for more than half an hour, and when he ran to the deep pool, he saw Luo Fang standing there looking down intently.
Hearing the footsteps, Luo Fang was startled, subconsciously took out his gun and turned to aim in the direction where the sound came from, and only when he saw that it was Chen Mu did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Even so, Luo Fang still looked around, and then asked Chen Mu suspiciously: "You are the only one?" ”
"Of course, who else but me?" Chen Mu felt that Luo Fang's tone was a little strange.
"Aren't you supposed to be with Wang Boxing?" Luo Fang asked suddenly.
"Huh?"
Chen Mu was surprised, and then suddenly it dawned that Luo Fang saw him going in the direction of Wang Boxing when he was running away, thinking that the two of them were together.
Chen Mu's eyes flashed, and then he said: "Oh, I saw Wang Boxing, but obviously, he was wary of me, so I separated from him." ”
Listening to his words, Luo Fang nodded, without any doubts. Chen Mu has always given people a feeling of being alone, and he is nominally Luo Fang's "merger", Wang Boxing seems to have been injured at that time, and it is normal to be hostile to Chen Mu.
After looking around and seeing no one else, and confirming that only Chen Mu was here, Luo Fang relaxed a little and lowered his arm holding the gun, but still did not put the gun away. It's a big moment for him and he doesn't want anything to go wrong.
At this time, Chen Mu got closer and saw the place that Luo Fang had been paying attention to.
It was the site of the deep pool that had collapsed, but at this time it appeared to be an oblate cave with a diameter of about one meter.
This cave was created by the Titan Python being buried, and at this time, there was a slight movement in the cave, as if something was moving below.
Chen Mu observed a little, saw Luo Fang's nervous appearance, and heard the movement in the cave, and said, "Is Zhou Zijian below?" ”
Luo Fang glanced at him cautiously, nodded and responded casually, confirming Chen Mu's guess.
From Luo Fang's eyes, Chen Mu could see that Luo Fang was not very at ease with him.
Now there is a chance to get the blood orchid at the edge of the deep pool before, and there were twenty or thirty of them at that time, which is a great fortune for tourists.
But it's only possible, and it's not very likely! At that time, since he chose to use the collapse to deal with the Titan Python, he was already ready to give up these blood orchids, and now he came to look for it, but he just hoped that there would be a case!
Chen Mu waited on it for about ten minutes, and he could easily guess the situation in the cave, not to mention the movement of Suo Suo from time to time in the cave below.
Luo Fang had been paying close attention to the cave, occasionally turning his head to cautiously glance at Chen Muhe's surroundings, and it could be seen that he was a little nervous now.
It's just that the cave is very dark, Luo Fang should have been illuminated by the flashlight before, and he can't see anything, so he can only wait anxiously.
When Luo Fang didn't pay attention to him, Chen Mu's pupils turned white and he looked into the cave.
Although it was very dark inside, and there were certain twists and turns, Chen Mu still saw some scenes.
At this time, in the depths of the cave, there is a man who is carefully digging with a military shovel, as if digging for a rare treasure, very carefully and seriously.
This person is naturally Zhou Zijian.
It was obvious that Zhou Zijian was digging for blood orchids. As he dug in, some of the muddy water had overflowed, leaving the bottom of the cave full of silt, and his calves barely sank into the mud.
After digging like this for a while, Chen Mu noticed that Zhou Zijian suddenly had a stagnant movement, and seemed to be surprised by what he had discovered.
Then he saw Zhou Zijian speed up his excavation, and Chen Mu even saw the smile on his face after occasionally glancing at it.
As his movements continued, he dug up a piece of silt. Just about to shake off the mud, suddenly, Zhou Zijian was shocked, reached out and groped in the mud.
Soon, a small flower stained with mud and broken was in his hand.
The Blood Orchid has been discovered!
Zhou Zijian's face was full of surprise, and he subconsciously turned his head to say hello to Luo Fang, but he suddenly moved, suppressed his impulse, and included the blood orchid in his watch space.
Now that he has found the first flower, he can look for it in the vicinity according to the impression left by observing the deep pool, and soon, Zhou Zijian has harvested one after another.
Witnessing this scene, Chen Mu couldn't help but feel a little moved.
However, he glanced at Luo Fang, Chen Mu was sure that these blood orchids must have been regarded by Luo Fang as a must-have, and if he fought for it, he would definitely be strongly opposed or even attacked by Luo Fang. Even Zhou Zijian has a great possibility of turning his face with him.
Not to mention whether he can win the Blood Orchid in the hands of the two, even if he gets it...... Maybe it can't be worth the employment remuneration that Luo Fang promised him, you must know that Chen Mu is still Luo Fang's employer, in other words, Luo Fang is Chen Mu's boss, and Chen Mu's "salary" has not been paid. What's more, Zhou Zijian is also one of Chen Mu's few friends, so he won't turn against him for some interests.
Whether it was comparing the strength of the two sides, or considering that Luo Fang would give him time, or considering Zhou Zijian's relationship, Chen Mu had no intention of making a move.
Subsequently, Zhou Zijian dug more and more, and about every few minutes, he could get a harvest.
As the harvest increased, after finding two blood orchids at once again, Zhou Zijian couldn't help but cheer.
Although the voice was very soft, it was also noticed by Luo Fang, who had been paying attention to the movement in the cave.
"Zijian, what's wrong? Is it rewarding? ”
Luo Fang bent down, his head poking down, although he couldn't see anything, he still tried to look.
At this time, Luo Fang probably also completely gave up his previous vigilance against Chen Mu and the investigation of the surrounding movements because he was at ease with Chen Mu, and focused his whole body and mind on the cave, anxious and expectant.
Chen Mu had no doubt that if he kicked Luo Fang's pouting ass, he would fall defenselessly into the hole, and then plug the cave...... It is estimated that Luo Fang and Zhou Zijian will explain here.
Of course, Chen Mu just looked at Luo Fang's pouting ass and this idea flickered in his mind, and he would not really implement it.
Zhou Zijian below heard Luo Fang's inquiry, and was silent for a moment, as if he was hesitating about something.
Luo Fang was even more anxious and shouted: "Zijian, what did you find?" ”
His voice was so loud that it shook the cave and dust fell from it.
"The blood orchid has been found!"
Zhou Zijian's loud response was also heard below.
Luo Fang instantly became excited: "How many?" ”
"Five...... Five or six ......"
Luo Fang happily patted his thigh and praised loudly: "Good! ”
Rumble!
A large lump of earth in the cave was shaken down by his voice, and then it was like an introduction, and then there was a rumbling sound from the collapse, and debris continued to fall into the cave.
Luo Fang and Chen Mu, who were above, all changed their faces greatly, and they noticed that the location of the collapse had sunk slightly.
Although the magnitude of the sinking is not even a centimeter, this is already an extremely dangerous sign.
"Run, get out......" Luo Fang immediately shouted anxiously.
But as soon as he shouted, he suddenly woke up, and his voice stopped abruptly, and he didn't dare to speak again. Because his voice seemed to be the fuse, causing the cave to collapse rapidly.
And Zhou Zijian noticed that something was wrong as early as when that large piece of dirt fell, and when he saw other dust falling, he immediately climbed up without hesitation.
Even if he had already dug up where the blood orchid was, he might be able to get a few blood orchids with one shovel, and he didn't care.
Saving your life is always the first thing!
Boom, the collapse is sinking more and more, and the earth above the cave keeps falling, and half of the cave has been blocked.
Luo Fang and Chen Mu were all at a loss, they could only look at everything in front of them in amazement.
The soil in the collapse here was originally blown up and fell, and it was untamped and extremely soft.
And that cave was only drilled out by the Titan Python with its powerful strength, and it could still remain in its original state when there was no movement before, and it completely collapsed at this moment.
Finally, boom!
The entire collapse fell sharply for more than half a meter, and the cave was completely sealed.
"Zijian!"
Luo Fang shouted, anxious and panicked.
Zhou Zijian has not escaped yet, he has been buried underneath.
Seeing that Luo Fang was anxious and in a hurry, not knowing what to do, Chen Mu shouted violently: "Dig!" ”
Then, Chen Mu took out his military shovel and quickly dug hard at the mouth of the sealed hole, his speed was extremely fast, like a machine, and a new hole was quickly dug out there.
Luo Fang also suddenly realized that he hurriedly joined the excavation.
One minute, three minutes......
Come on, come on! Luo Fang mustered all his strength.
Five minutes, ten minutes......
There's still a chance, it's coming, it's coming!
Fifteen minutes......
has dug down more than three meters, and Zhou Zijian is still nowhere to be seen. Deep despair enveloped Luo Fang, he was no longer hopeful, he stopped digging, turned to look at Chen Mu, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something.
However, Chen Mu was still like a machine, without any expression on his face, just digging calmly and regularly.
"Chen Mu, you ......" Luo Fang wanted to persuade Chen Mu to stop, but there was no hope.
However, at this moment, Chen Mu's eyes suddenly froze, he threw away the military shovel, squatted down and quickly picked up the soil with his hands.
Luo Fang looked down and saw that one hand had been dug out by Chen Mu, and that hand was still climbing upward.
Even if Luo Fang was no longer hopeful, he was refreshed when he saw that hand, and he and Chen Mu frantically dug it with their hands.
Soon, half of Zhou Zijian's body was dug out and pulled out by Chen Mu. It's just that Zhou Zijian's eyes are closed, and he has no breath.
