Chapter Twenty-Seven: Excavation

The region of the far east, the hinterland of the ice valley

At noon, Hanqi and Shui Lianggong led more than 90,000 soldiers and began to dig for treasures at the bottom of the huge valley. Seven Nights is assigned to a dark corner, and despite the intense restlessness in his heart, Seven Nights tries his best to suppress his fears. Then he pulled out the wood knife on his waist and pretended to be very serious and dug a cave in the rock wall. But Seven Nights pays more attention to any changes in the surrounding environment, and Seven Nights believes that this fear of himself is not groundless, and there must be a terrifying existence at the bottom of this valley that others can't perceive, but it may be perceptible for some special reasons.

Hanqi took the wolf guards and Liu Bingwei and Shui Lianggong to a low depression where there was a possibility of burying thousand-year-old treasures to dig deeper.

"Martial arts, dusk under the moon!" The wolf guard jumped, and the two swords danced diagonally in mid-air, and a yellow-level low-level sword technique was drawn, falling two intersecting dusk lines.

"Martial arts, phantom snake!" Liu Bingwei followed and rose into the air, pulled out the "Nine Curved Silver Snake Sword" on his waist, and with a wave of his arm, a yellow-level low-level sword technique stabbed out, forming a huge snake pattern and instantly blasting down.

The low depression of "Bang !!" was blown out of a pit several meters deep in an instant. Han Qi and Shui Lianggong hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation of the depression, although the spiritual power detection could not be used at the bottom of this valley, the spiritual power exercise could still be used.

"Hey, no, it seems that the digging is still not deep enough. Han Qi and Shui Lianggong glanced at each other and said. Immediately afterwards, Liu Bingwei and Wolf Bingwei used their skills to work for a while, and the depression had been excavated more than twenty meters deep, but there was still no trace of any treasure except for the dark rubble.

"Isn't there a thousand-year-old treasure here, or is the treasure buried in the deepest part?" said Mizurako, staring at the depression.

"Let me come!" Han Qi walked forward a little uncontrollably, and then a huge spiritual power was released from Han Qi's body and gathered in his right palm.

"Battle Soul Level Junior Triple..."Looking at the spiritual power aura released by the cold flag, Shui Lianggong muttered.

"Martial arts, Doomsday Ice Explosion!" The cold flag rose into the air, his right fist condensed the ice, and a yellow-level intermediate technique was struck, with a violent storm and cold oppression.

There was a loud !!bang, and the sandbag-sized ice fist smashed into the pit, and the pitch-black debris turned into black dust, flying all over the sky. When the black ash faded away, the original excavation of 20 meters instantly expanded to a depth of more than 30 meters. Han Qi, who had landed on his feet, immediately stepped forward to take a closer look at the bottom of the pit, but still did not find any treasures.

"Damn! Isn't this thousand-year-old treasure in this ice valley?" Han Qi cursed, the blow he had just hit was undoubtedly dozens of meters deep, and now it was more than thirty meters deep and there was nothing, even if it was a thousand years of dust, it couldn't be buried so deep.

"Brother Han, don't worry, this valley bottom is so big, maybe the treasure is buried somewhere else. Shui Lianggong glanced at the bottom of the pit and fixed his gaze on a wide area in front of him.

"Then let's go and have a look elsewhere...", as he spoke, Han Qi walked towards the open area in front of him, followed by Wolf Guard and Liu Guard. Seeing the three of them walking forward, Shui Lianggong finally glanced at the black stone dozens of meters thick in the pit, and there were all kinds of suspicions in his heart.

After a long distance forward, the four of them stopped. This place is beyond the scope of the army's excavation, but the huge valley bottom, if you want to dig all three feet, it is not a small project. And they obviously don't have that much time to spend here.

Coldflag scrutinized the chosen area, and it was not too different from the rest: debris of black rock, desolate vegetationless surface, and many palm-sized waterlogged depressions.

"Try it here!" Han Qi decided, and then concentrated his energy again, spread his legs, and when the aura was sufficient, he threw a punch.

"Martial arts, ice breaking!" The low-level fist technique of the Yellow Rank swept out with one punch, and a rocky area in front of him was instantly scraped off the surface debris and rocks, and it was cleaned up smoothly.

"Hahaha, Brother Han is really extraordinary, and the Huang-level martial arts skills have been exerted so much. Liang is really impressed..."Shui Lianggong praised when he saw the opportunity.

"Where, where, Brother Shui Liang praised it falsely. Han Mousu heard that Brother Shui Liang's martial arts are outstanding, I don't know if I can also let Han Mou see it?" Han Qi waved his hand and said with a smile, but after listening to Shui Lianggong's praise, his heart was still very comfortable.

"Okay, since Brother Han is so affordable, then Liang will no longer hide his clumsiness, and he will be ugly!" Shui Lianggong said slightly.

After the words fell, Shui Lianggong took a step forward steadily, his right hand was slowly raised, and an invisible spiritual power was quietly formed in the palm of his hand, and the stagnant water in the nearby waterhole was gradually extracted, and it was continuously compressed and rotated into a ball in his palm.

"Martial arts, if the water is three thousand!" whispered softly, and Shui Lianggong's palm was gently thrown into the air. The water balloon then took off, and burst out several water columns in mid-air, slamming down to the surface, like a drill bit, with a swift momentum, blowing up the hard rock layer and drilling into the formation, digging a huge pit more than 30 meters deep.

"It's worthy of the Yellow Rank Advanced Technique, the power is really amazing!" the wolf guard on the side couldn't help but sigh.

"But that's it, there's nothing to praise about it. Liu Bingwei beside him was dismissive.

"Haha~, Brother Shui Liang is really extraordinary, Han admires!" Han Qi praised him back and forth, but although he smiled warmly on the surface, he actually raised his vigilance against Shui Lianggong in his heart. Huang Rank Advanced Exercises, I didn't expect that the exercises that I didn't even have myself would be cultivated to this point by Shui Lianggong, this person's city is too deep, and I have to guard against it.

"Hehe~, seeing a smile and laughing, Brother Han's martial arts are also very good. Shui Lianggong said politely.

After a period of superficial praise, the two walked to the edge of the pit to check the bottom of the pit, but the situation was still disappointing: there was still nothing but black rock gravel. The search was fruitless, and the four of them fell into a depression.

"Brother Han, don't be disappointed, there is no place here, let's take a look elsewhere. Seeing this, Mizura Gong proposed again.

"It's okay, let's look elsewhere!" Han Qi is also very human, and after a short period of low spirits, he cheers up. This time I came here with a lot of hard work, but I couldn't just dig a few pits and give up. So, a group of four people continued to search for a wider outside world...

At this moment, Qiye was still pretending to be in place and digging the cave hard, although a quarter of an hour or so had passed, Qiye had not even dug 1 meter deep. And the soldiers around them were all making good progress, and some of them had already dug more than a person deep, but as for what to dig, no one really knew, and the soldiers were only ordered to find a precious ore, and to do it as a slave in the mines usually did.

Nanaya disagreed with this statement: he didn't think that any city lord would be willing to risk his life to go to an unknown place in order to cherish the ore, and even take his own army. Moreover, this time I did not bring a tool for digging mines, but a weapon. Secondly, judging from the situation of the two city lords doing it themselves, what they want to excavate must be of great value. No matter how rare the ore is, it is nothing more than to improve one's own spiritual power, and the mines mined by each city lord can basically meet their own needs.

Based on his own judgment, Qiye believed that what the two city lords dug was not as simple as cherishing ore. Paying such a big price along the way, that is to say, the value of what to be mined must be much greater than the lives of so many people. And as for what would make the two city lords, regardless of their own safety, get it at any cost? Seven Nights' little head really couldn't imagine: what could be more important than the lives of so many people?

Another fruitless thought, Nanaya shook his head, withdrew his thoughts, and began to pretend to work seriously again. Unconsciously, after an afternoon of hard digging. 90,000 soldiers searched every rock in a concentrated area at the bottom of the valley and found nothing.

After an afternoon of hard digging, Hanqi was a little tired, and Liu Bingwei also contributed a lot, as for Wolf Bingwei and Shui Lianggong, they seemed to be in good condition. The fruitless search made Hanqi even more disappointed.

"Brother Han, don't be anxious, it's just the beginning. According to our current material reserves, it can support at least half a month or so, so we still have a lot of time, and there are still large areas in front of us that have not been excavated, and I believe we will definitely find a thousand-year-old treasure. Seeing that Hanqi was a little discouraged, Shui Lianggong stepped forward and said with relief.

"Looks like that's the end of it. Han Qi crushed the black stone in his hand with hatred, and said helplessly.

In the blink of an eye, it was getting late, and the afterglow dragged away with a slender pace. Hanqi tidied up his clothes a little, brushed away the ashes, and began to prepare for the return journey with the other three.

Qiye also put down his work and gathered towards the gathering place of the crowd. The day passed without incident, and after a day of fear, I could finally relax.

However、At the moment。 The sky was getting late, and suddenly it quickly became dark, and suddenly the whole world was dark. The soldiers looked around in horror and stunned, and Nanaya, who had been relaxed, felt a chilling sense of fear coming over them, and this fear, even worse than before, made Nanaya seem to be about to suffocate.

Soon, there was a tremor on the calm surface. Then the shaking became more and more violent, and the gravel on the ground also trembled, as if there was a huge energy about to burst out from the depths of the earth.

"Boom, boom~" The sound of vibration like thunder rolling and crushing the sky came from the depths of the ground. The ground trembled violently, and the soldiers staggered or slumped on the ground, bewildered. Qiye's face was even pale, and his eyes were paralyzed to the ground in despair.

"What the hell is going on!?" Hanqi asked in a panic.

"It's, it seems that there is some kind of energy in the ground that is about to rush out!" Shui Lianggong was also sad at the moment, and faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Could it be, is it a thousand-year-old treasure about to be born?" Han Qi's face suddenly delighted. With such a big movement, it seems that there must be a huge treasure buried underground, and now this treasure is about to break through the ground, and it is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

"I don't know, but it's ominous!" Mizurashi didn't know if it was really a treasure, but his intuition felt that this movement was more like something terrible was about to come out.

"Withdraw!" Hearing what Shui Lianggong said, Han Qi's heart completely cooled down, if this movement is not a treasure, it must be a disaster. Just as he was giving the order to retreat, the voice fell.

The surface of the valley floor was torn to pieces in an instant under the impact of huge energy. Where the cracks in the ground cracked, clouds of burning black smoke erupted like a volcanic eruption. The black smoke carried out the hot magma of the Earth's core, which flew everywhere and exploded into flowers like firecrackers. The magma continued to tumble through the cracks in the ground, spewing thick black smoke, and the entire ice valley instantly turned into a hell on earth with ice and fire.
