Chapter Seventy-Six: The Plan
Contrary to the dilapidated surroundings, the palace on the edge of the abandoned city appeared in perfect condition, with the entire palace made of white jade, rows of jade pillars, and a hundred and zero steps connecting the square to the palace's golden openwork gates.
Looking in from the hollow gate, you can vaguely see the dense vegetation inside, clustered, fountains, lakes flowing in the middle, as well as birds and beasts shuttling and resting, the whole palace looks solemn and quiet, but in this large environment, it seems to be extremely dazzling and discordant.
"Alas, how many valuable things do you say there are in here, even the gate is made of gold!"
"I mean, just one stone in this can make you spend ten lifetimes. ”
"You two better don't think about it, if you can really get it, it's long gone, and you can wait to see it?
"Cut, let's just talk," the chatting group glanced at them out of the corner of their eyes, disdainful.
Such a conversation was played out in the various ranks, and it was quite unanimous that the administrators, instead of reprimanding, encouraged and unexpectedly agreed, that is, the two palaces that had been found in the abandoned city so far echoed this palace, and they were in full force with each other, and the treasures placed in them were innumerable, and when the city was broken, the lord of the city hid most of the treasures in these three buildings, and when he returned one day, it was the day when he took the treasures and took control of the city.
But since they left, there has been no news for many years, and this place has not been discovered by outsiders because of its remote location, and has become a rare pearl in this land, and it has only been inadvertently excavated today, so there are not enough people, and I am afraid that after the news spreads, it will be fought for by other forces, so if anyone is willing to enter these three halls, the treasures taken out promise to be divided equally.
And this set of rhetoric obviously moved many people's hearts, they even planned to take risks and give it a try, but more people were able to stay sober, their own strength was there, if it was so easy to take, it would not be their turn to make a move, and Ling Feng and the others knew that they didn't believe the Xie family's statement at all, they would definitely not be willing to give a piece of the pie to others with such a great benefit, even if they wanted to find collaborators, it would not be their turn, and now they are very likely to feel that the rabble is alone, not only can they act as cannon fodder, but it is better to clean up。
Seeing this clearly, most people will naturally not be stupid to be unloaded and killed, and let the good deeds continue to agitate, but they will always remain indifferent, and over time, no one will propose to break into the palace.
After a few moments, the team came to a clearing less than a hundred meters from the palace, which by this time had become a huge cargo dumping point, and a large number of mined ore was randomly piled on the ground to form a hill taller than a man, and more ore was scattered around the hill.
Except for a small amount of dark golden gravel that cannot be named, most of these ores are crystal magic ores of various sizes and containing impurities, and the pure aura emanating from the ores makes people feel refreshed.
The three of them walked back and forth between these hills and a cave in front of them, constantly tilting the ore in the basket, and then Ling Feng and the rest of the team followed the Xie family to the vicinity of the cave entrance.
"Squeak, squeak..."The entrance of the cave is about ten meters square, and there are constantly hanging baskets rising from below from the black hole full of ore, and the rope makes a creaking sound, as if it will break at any time because of overload.
"Okay, I'm not here to watch the show, hurry down, take the basket under your back, someone is waiting behind, don't bother!" a small servant urged behind him.
While many people watched and picked up the rope, the little guy seemed to remember something and added, "There is still a day when you can't dig five baskets, and there is no pay." After saying that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched for a while, it seemed that this job was not easy, this sun sun three poles, I don't know if today's task can be completed, one by one skillfully tied a rope around the waist, jumped into the bottomless darkness.
Ling Feng poked his head down, but he had no choice but to follow the example of the others, hanging the rope around his waist and sliding down towards the bottom of the cave.
It was pitch black all around, except for the sound of clanging and clattering.
For a stick of incense, only the endless darkness and the clearer and clearer sound echoed in his ears, until his feet touched the hard stone, Ling Feng's heart finally fell to the ground, in his own world, he had never played extreme sports such as bungee jumping and rock climbing, this time it was good, and he tasted it all at once.
The bottom of the cave was already bright, and the surrounding rock walls were full of torches, illuminating everything red, and now in addition to Ling Feng, there were also fellow travelers who had stepped down before, and a few people fell above their heads from time to time, they were all standing in place and not moving, it seemed that they should be waiting here for their own people.
"Knock, knock, knock..."At the end of the round pit that connected him was a straight passageway, and out of it came a man, he was bent over, his face covered by a gray cloak that made it impossible to see his face, and the loose sleeves of his robe were dragged to the ground, completely enveloping the whole person.
"You're new here, come in with me. An old, unmistakable voice came from under the cloak.
Everyone suddenly felt that their bodies were not like themselves, and naturally followed the cloaked figure step by step into the passage.
The passage is not wide, just enough to accommodate an adult to walk through, after a few forks, and a few hundred meters forward, what appears in front of you is an underground ore vein that is being excavated, it should have just started excavation, so this cave is not big, it can only accommodate more than a dozen people working at the same time, Ling Feng and several other people who looked thin and old stayed here, and the cloaked man left here with the rest of the people, including Dong Rui.
Ling Feng looked at the people around him who were buried in mining, and then looked at the few people around him, and sighed in his heart, these people can be described as old, weak, sick and disabled, they have no combat effectiveness at all, how to conspire together to escape the plan, originally thinking that if Dong Rui is around, at least there is a relatively trusted person who can give advice, and he doesn't believe that Dong Rui's partner was captured, he won't go to the rescue, even if he doesn't go, his partner will come to look for him, and then he can go out together.
Moreover, Ling Feng could clearly feel the fluctuations of magic from Dong Rui, if it was really what he guessed, then there must be a good chance of succeeding in escaping.
But now that I'm left here alone, it's futile to say anything.
Thinking of this, Ling Feng simply threw the mining pickaxe in his hand to the ground and sat on the ground, and began to cultivate......
