Chapter 41: Digging the Mountain

Digging up a mountain is no small task.

Ouyang Yu and the three of them scattered a lot of gold, attracting hundreds of people to dig the mountain. But in the eyes of Ouyang Yu and the others, such progress is still too slow.

Especially on the second day when Qin Hao and the six people also joined the ranks of digging the mountain, a large number of boulders appeared in this small hill, which made the progress of digging the mountain even slower.

Zhao Zhuo left this small mountain village early in the morning.

There is no way, this mountain, there are not enough people, and it cannot be dug in a short time, but now it has become a stone mountain, and if you want to dig it, it will be even more difficult.

He had to find someone as soon as possible.

Zhao Zhuo left, and Ouyang Yu and Zhou Ting still stayed here to supervise. It's not that I'm worried that the people digging the mountain will be lazy, but I'm worried that as the hill continues to be dug up, the treasures below may appear at any time.

Qin Hao's six people, mixed in the crowd, opened the mountain unhurriedly.

It was close to evening, and Zhao Zhuo, who went out to look for someone, finally came back. And Zhao Zhuo didn't come back alone, but came back with at least five or six hundred people!

These people were all brought back by him to dig the mountain.

Under the temptation of a large amount of gold, ordinary mortals, unable to resist such a temptation, followed one after another.

"Senior brother, I didn't go to the big towns, but I hurried with all my strength today, and I went to many large villages to find the people who came back. There are more than 500 people who came back with me today, and by tomorrow, there will be more people coming, I estimate that there will be one or two thousand people, all of them are possible!"

Zhou Zhuo's face was tired, but his eyes flashed with excitement.

He didn't dare to go to the big towns that were often haunted by cultivators to find people, he really didn't want to reveal his identity because of this, and he lost the quota to go to the Ziwei Sect to participate in the competition.

So today, he was almost on the road with all his might, going to many villages of considerable size to find people.

Under the temptation of gold, more than 500 people came directly, and there were many people who could not come today, but they would also come tomorrow to participate in digging the mountain.

"Well done!"

Ouyang Yu was also full of joy.

With these 500 people alone, they have been able to greatly improve the process of digging the mountain. If thousands of people arrive tomorrow, it is very possible to dig up the mountain in a few days.

Sure enough, early the next morning, a large number of people rushed to the small village.

Originally, Zhao Zhuo had found more than ten villages, plus the people from these villages, and also informed some relatives and friends, so early this morning, there were nearly 1,500 people who came for gold!

Ouyang Yu saw so many people with a smile on his face.

He was not stingy, and in front of everyone, he took out a large pile of gold, which was so bright that it dazzled people's eyes and made the more than 1,000 people who rushed to it full of greed.

"Dig the mountain with all my might, and I'll give you one tael of gold a day! After digging up, one more person will give you ten taels of gold!"

Ouyang Yu said in high spirits.

This bit of gold is nothing to him at all, at most it is worth a few spirit stones. At this cost, digging up the mountain quickly is the best choice for him.

More than 2,000 people are digging mountains in full swing.

Even if there is a stone wall inside this mountain, it can't stop the crowd of people.

The hill is visibly shrinking.

Seeing this scene, Ouyang Yu and the three of them stood together with smiles on their faces.

"Senior brother, that outer disciple, said that the place where his ancestor fell, there were demon beasts guarding it, and it seemed to be his lair. We're almost done digging later, do you want to let these ordinary people out first?"

Zhao Zhuo suddenly thought of something and said in a low voice.

"No, according to the information I got from that outer disciple, the demon beast entrenched in the place where his ancestor fell is at most the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, although there may be more than one, but there is no need to disperse the crowd first. Just let them dig it down, the demon beast really came out, it doesn't matter if you attack a few ordinary people, it can also make us know more about the demon beast. We then took action to suppress the monsters, give a little more gold to the survivors, and nothing happened!"

Ouyang Yu said coldly.

He doesn't care about the life and death of these ordinary people.

Even, he had already planned to let these ordinary people dig up the mountain and attract the attention of the demon beasts inside, and when the time came, it was these ordinary people who attacked the demon beasts first, and they could make a safer move.

The three of them talked in a low voice.

And the ordinary people who were digging the mountain with enthusiasm didn't know at all that Ouyang Yu and the three of them had already planned to let them face the danger of the first wave of demon beast attacks.

"Be careful, I feel that under this mountain, the aura is getting stronger and stronger, I don't know if there is any danger, let's not be careless!"

Qin Hao felt that under the mountain, the aura of heaven and earth was getting stronger and stronger, and said in a deep voice to Uncle Xiao and the others beside him.

"Don't worry, we'll be careful. ”

Uncle Xiao nodded.

"Well, also, if there is really danger, let's not expose ourselves, if we can avoid it, try to avoid it, don't act recklessly, otherwise, we will be targeted by the three of them. ”

Qin Hao commanded again.

Their strength is not as good as Ouyang Yu's three people, so if there is really danger, they must not expose themselves first, they must hide it and not expose their cultivation.

As for the attack on ordinary people at that time, Qin Hao and the others can't care so much. If they really have to take care of it, they themselves may face great dangers.

Two days passed unconsciously.

The raised hill has gradually disappeared and become flat land in the past two days.

At this time, even ordinary people felt the abnormality under the mountain. Because under this mountain, the aura of heaven and earth is too strong, and at the same time, there is a smell of blood!

Even the soil underground was a faint red, very weird, as if it was dyed red by blood.

When many people see this situation, their hearts are beating drums and they want to retreat.

Fortunately, Ouyang Yu and the three of them were very generous, and after noticing that most ordinary people were retreating, they directly increased their daily remuneration by three times, which made everyone grit their teeth and continue to dig.

On the fourth day of digging, the hill was completely gone, and even this large area had sunken down.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a roar, and the smoke and dust billowed into the sky!

The exclamation sounded immediately, and one or two thousand people, all in a panic, looked at the source of the roar. That's the center of the hill that has been dug up!

"It's okay, it's collapsed here, there is no danger to people, it seems to be a dungeon down there!"

Near the middle, someone was shouting.

Just now, someone hollowed out the middle directly, revealing a huge underground palace below, and the person who dug this hole also fell, but there was no danger.

"Ahh

As soon as someone said that there was no danger, everyone was in surprise, thinking that the task of digging the mountain was completed and they could successfully get ten taels of gold, when a terrible and frightened scream came from the ground.

It was the man who dug the hole and fell into the dungeon screaming!
