Zhou Tong's few words directly pointed out the main point, convincing the old miner. Then, looking at his adorable adjutant, Lord Zeng let out a long sigh and followed the others towards the mine.
The old miner brought everyone to the foot of the mine. This place was a cemetery, and it looked like it had been here for some time.
"Master, I've already brought the place. The mine is dangerous, so you should consider it carefully!”
"Some time ago, after the Japanese soldiers left, they deliberately used bombs to blow up the entrance. There must be some dangers that ordinary people don't know about.”
"It's fine, Eighth Master. You can calculate our luck today.”
"Wu Ming Xin Lu, avoid digging, avoid building graves, avoid going out. However, if our Little Second Master goes, then naturally, it will be a lucky star.”
"Old Master, let me tell you, our Second Young Master is the reincarnation of Tao Tie, one of the four ancient ferocious beasts. No matter how ferocious he is, he can't be compared to the Second Young Master.”
"With the Second Young Master by our side, no matter what we encounter, we will be able to turn misfortune into fortune.”
Lord Eight's words made Lord Zeng come to a sudden realization. It turned out that Zhou Tong had a Taotie Life Providence. Although Lord Zeng himself did not believe in this, he was still clear about the rumors and statements in this regard.
Taotie, one of the four ancient ferocious beasts, was destined to be a great calamity. However, such a person would always turn the situation around no matter what they encountered.
However, following such a person was not without risk. That was, the probability of death was very high for the first cooperation.
For example, even if he entered the Hundred Year Acupoint, there was a risk of his corpse rising. If he encountered it, he would either die or lose a layer of skin.
"What a great Eighth Master. I said that every time I had something to ask of you, I would always shirk. In the end, when I said that the second master would follow, you agreed so readily.”
Master Eight chuckled and said to Deputy Zhang,"
"Hehe, adjutant, do you dare to go down? Look at your tender skin. Don't be killed by the second young master!”
"Kill me? "I don't have any other abilities, but I can run faster than Lord Myna. If I really encounter any danger, you'll definitely be the first to suffer.”
"You."
"Alright, Lord Myna, adjutant, stop fooling around. I'll go down and scout the way. If there's no problem, I'll come back and call you.”
With that said, Zhou Tong followed the old miner's instructions and arrived at a new grave. He moved the tombstone away and entered. Although the cave was a sealed space and pitch black, Zhou Tong had night vision and could see that the scene in the cave was no different from the outside world.
"This old miner is quite reliable. This hole should have been dug recently. The soil is wet, and we can see traces of excavation.”
Zhou Tong touched the soil on the bandit cave and sniffed it, then came to a conclusion. As he went deeper, Zhou Tong arrived at a tomb that was sealed by an iron fence.
"Lord Zeng, Lord Ba, come down. There is a path, but it is blocked by iron fences.”
There was only one catacomb path behind the tombstones. Zhou Tong naturally did not need to go back to find them, so he simply called for them to come down from the fence.
After a series of footsteps, Adjutant Zhang pushed the old miner down.
"Adjutant, why did you bring the old man down?”
"I asked him to bring us here. We're new here and aren't familiar with this place. Old Master should have been here a few times and can help us avoid some detours.”
"Hmm, that's fine. Old Master, you can go with this fortune-teller. If you really encounter anything, the fortune-teller can protect you for a while.”
"Don't, second master, let the old man follow the adjutant. The adjutant knows martial arts and is much safer than following me.”
"Give the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella to the adjutant?"
Before Zhou Tong entered the tomb, he had given the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella to Lord Eight. On one hand, he didn't know if there would be any danger in the mine, so giving the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella to Lord Eight would ensure his safety.
On the other hand, he needed Master Eight to protect the old miner and prevent any accidents from happening to him.
"Don't, Old Master. Just follow me. With this treasure in hand, if anything happens, leave your safety to me.”
"Blackie, thank you, Lord Myna. I'll leave the little old man's safety to you.”
Zhou Tong had taken advantage of the moment Lord Zeng and the others had descended to dismantle the fence in front of them, so the road ahead was very clear.
The party continued to advance, with Zhou Tong leading the way, Lord Zeng assisting from behind, Lord Myna and the little old man standing side by side, and the adjutant bringing up the rear.
If they really encountered any mishaps, Zhou Tong would hold them off at the front, while Lord Zeng and the adjutant would each carry one and run.
They walked through a low-lying area, passed through a long tomb path, and finally arrived in front of an iron fence.
Behind the iron fence was a statue of an unknown object. It looked extremely sinister and terrifying. In front of the statue was a moldy sacrifice that had probably not been replaced for a while.
"Master Eight, come and take a look. Do you recognize this thing?”
Master Eight walked to the fence and looked at the oil lamp carefully. He said,
"This thing looks a little like the statue of the Heavenly Mother in Xuan Guan Dao.”
"This Heavenly Venerate Mother is the most powerful god in Xuan Guan Dao. Since she's here, there must be a treasure under the mine.”
"A precious treasure paired with an evil object. It seems that there must be something extraordinary buried under this mine tunnel.”
"Evil creature? It seemed that the journey would become more and more interesting.”
The group was attracted by Lord Myna's words. Apart from Zhou Tong, no one else noticed that the little old man had taken advantage of this moment to leave.
"Oh no, Lord Zeng, that old man ran away. Should we capture him?”
"No need, we've already been brought here, so let's go. Second Young Master, is there a way to get through this door?”
Zhou Tong arrived in front of the door, his two hands like two pliers, gripping the steel bars on both sides, forcefully swinging them back and forth.
Clang! The sound of metal clashing against metal came from the iron fence, and it became louder and louder.
"Second Young Master, the fence has been sealed.”
Adjutant Zhang hadn't even finished speaking when he heard a clang. Zhou Tong had actually pulled down the entire fence.
He threw the iron fence aside and turned around to ask Adjutant Zhang,"
Deputy Zhang, did you just call me?"
"Hehe, I was asking if you need help. I didn't expect the second young master to be so strong. He can even easily destroy this kind of steel bar.”
"Fortunately, the climate in Hunan is humid. This kind of fence is not plated with anti-rust metals. It may not look like anything on the outside, but in fact, the inside has long been rotten.”
"No matter how rusty it is, it's still steel. Who can break steel bars with their hands?”
Zhou Tong looked at the adjutant muttering, but his voice was too soft to be heard clearly.
"Adjutant, what did you say?"
"Ha... Hah... He didn't say anything! Lord Zeng, since the fence has been broken, let's go in and see what's going on!”
The group walked out of the fence and came to the intersection of the mine roads. The ore was originally transported here, then loaded and transported outside.
The facilities here were very comprehensive. Zhou Tong found a generator in a corner, and after a simple adjustment, he discovered that it was still functional.
For a moment, the sound of a generator buzzing could be heard in the mine. The miner's lamps that were originally wrapped around the mine road also lit up.
The scene inside the mine clearly appeared in front of everyone. Most of the mines that could have led to the depths of the mine had collapsed due to the explosion.
If he swallowed it, there was no way out.
"Lord Zeng, the mine inside has been sealed. What should we do next?”
The one organizing the operation this time was Lord Zeng. Zhou Tong had come to help, so he naturally had to ask for Lord Zeng's opinion at the crucial location.
Someone had to make the decision to advance or retreat, and the person who made the decision was Lord Zeng.
"The fence has been sealed, and a bomb was placed to blow up the mine. There must be an unspeakable secret here.”
"The mine has been blocked. Everyone walked along this mine tunnel to see if there was a new way out.”
"This matter concerns the safety of the people of Sand City. Even if you have to dig the mine flat, you have to find clues for me.”
As expected of Sand City's Defense Officer, he was particular about results. It seemed that he would not leave until he found something.
Zhou Tong's vision was not affected by the darkness, and he followed the tracks used to transport the ore to the depths of the tunnel.
Deep in the mine was a living area for Japanese people. There were two bowls on both sides of the aisle.
"Eighth Master, come over and take a look at this bowl.”
"Let me take a look. Interesting, if I'm not wrong.”
"Of these two bowls, one is filled with well water, and the other is filled with river water. As the saying goes, well water does not interfere with river water.”
"My guess is that this tunnel should be used by both the dead and the living.”
Zhou Tong pinched his chin and pondered for a moment before saying,
"Interesting. Lord Myna, go and call Lord Zeng over. Tell him that you found a clue.”
