At this time.
In the mountains.
The Luo Yang Shovel had already dug more than ten meters deep into the ground.
After Zhang Chen brought up the soil and mud from underground.
The leading grave robber used two fingers to pick up the dirt and took a closer look.
He smelled it with his nose.
He smiled and said, "This soil smells rotten, it's dark in color, and the soil is very dense. There must be a big tomb below!"
Hearing this, the other three grave robbers couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
One of them immediately said, "It seems that what that guy said is true. If we dig out the golden knife now, we will be rich!"
Zhang Chen listened and felt a little strange.
Moreover, at this moment, these four people didn't look like members of the Wu family at all.
Perhaps there was a change in the situation.
He secretly glanced at Old Li.
But he found that Old Li still had a smiling face.
Hearing them say this, he couldn't help but chime in, "Four gentlemen, my apprentice and I helped dig the tomb. If we go down, can we also get a few gold coins?"
“Humph, didn't we give you money?”
One of the grave robbers frowned. "Twenty silver dollars, enough for you to eat and drink for half a year!"
Old Li looked regretful.
But when he looked at Zhang Chen, his eyes rolled.
In these wild mountains.
It was also the second watch of the night.
Even though there were lanterns to illuminate.
It was also difficult for others to discover Old Li's gaze.
But Zhang Chen could see clearly.
The Zi Ji Mo Tong was particularly powerful at night.
Old Li knew this, so he was fearless.
Zhang Chen understood his gaze.
It was a sign that he would leave if things went wrong.
However...
These four were not good people.
If they wanted to leave, they would inevitably be stained with blood.
Furthermore.
These four acted strangely in every way.
This tomb...
It was probably not a Blood Corpse tomb.
Then what were they doing?
No matter what they were doing.
There was no way he would go down the tomb.
“Boom boom boom!”
His heartbeat was rapid.
Zhang Chen was extremely nervous.
This was the first time he had encountered such a dangerous situation.
“Stop looking and help!”
The leading grave robber shouted, took over, measured the tunnel, and began to dig out the soil.
After the tunnel was widened, he said to Old Li, "You go down!"
"Me?"
Old Li frowned.
At this moment, the widened tunnel was only about one meter deep.
It wasn't a big problem to go down and dig.
But once they went underground, things would become complicated.
“After you are done, the ten silver dollars will be yours. Don't argue!”
The grave robber reached into his clothes.
Old Li sighed and had no choice but to go down.
After jumping down.
He used the cyclone shovel to dig the ground.
The excavated mud was piled up to the side.
Then the grave robber above lowered the earth rat.
This earth rat was actually a special rope.
The middle part was a cloth bag for carrying soil, made of oxhide, very strong.
The mouth of the bag for carrying soil was a live buckle.
When loading, the live buckle was released, and the bag mouth became larger.
After it was full, it was locked to prevent soil from spilling out in the middle.
Both ends had ropes.
One end was inside and one end was outside, allowing for easy entry and exit.
They dug for three trips.
There was a lot of soil piled up beside it.
The tunnel was also dug another meter deep.
Old Li was old and frail after all.
He was unable to work at this time.
Zhang Chen took his place and went underground.
Entering the tunnel, he felt the surrounding space was narrow and oppressive.
But the surrounding soil was still normal.
In his opinion, it was no different from ordinary soil.
Was there really a tomb down there?
It was probably not the case.
After more than ten trips.
The tunnel had reached a depth of seven or eight meters.
Zhang Chen climbed out of the tunnel.
“Four gentlemen, I'm exhausted. I want to drink some water!”
Zhang Chen was sweating profusely, and he spoke.
“No, time is pressing!”
The leading grave robber said coldly.
When Old Li heard this, he immediately became anxious and said, “Four gentlemen, my apprentice is young and strong, but he has been digging for so long and has sweated so much. He can always drink some water, right?”
“I said no, keep going!”
The grave robber said coldly.
The other three also had no intention of digging the tunnel.
They were all staring intently.
Zhang Chen frowned.
He glanced at Old Li, but saw that his eyes were also fierce.
Zhang Chen immediately knew that they were about to make a move.
If they waited until they had dug through the tunnel before making their move.
It would be too late then.
However...
Even now, these four had not let down their guard.
Two of them still had their hands on their pistols.
“Since you are tired, let your master dig!”
The leading grave robber said.
Zhang Chen immediately stood up and said, "My master is old, I'll do it. I can handle it!"
The grave robber smiled. "You're a filial apprentice!"
Then, he let Zhang Chen go over.
When he got to the entrance of the tunnel, Zhang Chen leaned down and was about to go down.
He suddenly made a "huh" sound.
But he immediately stopped.
He pretended to be nonchalant.
These grave robbers were all cunning and greedy by nature.
They were digging tombs to steal treasures.
From their initial interaction, he could also guess that this master and apprentice were not law-abiding individuals.
It was likely that they had been down in tombs before.
At this moment, they all reacted upon hearing this.
“Boy, what did you see?”
The leading grave robber asked.
“Nothing!”
Zhang Chen replied.
“Don't lie to me, tell me!”
The grave robber was already showing his fierce side.
Zhang Chen was helpless and had to say, “It seems like it's golden, buried in the soil. I can't see clearly!”
Upon hearing this, the four grave robbers immediately lit up.
However, being seasoned veterans, they still didn't believe it.
They just told him, “Go, dig it up and see!”
Zhang Chen thought to himself that these guys were indeed cautious.
He could only nod, and he went down again.
After a while, he climbed back up to the entrance of the tunnel, wrapping the thing in his clothes.
He was about to come out.
The four grave robbers all gathered at the entrance of the tunnel.
Their eyes all had greed in them.
At this moment, Old Li quietly moved to the side of two of them.
He had already filled his stomach with kerosene.
“Throw it to me!”
The leading grave robber shouted.
The other three heard this. Throw it to you?
They were somewhat dissatisfied in their hearts.
But thinking that there was still something to be gained.
They were not in a hurry.
They were just curious to see what was inside.
If it was gold coins, gold ingots, or the like.
It would mean that there were many good things in the tomb below.
They would be rich from this one time.
“Okay!”
Zhang Chen replied, exerting force with his hand, using his hidden weapon skills.
With a "whoosh," he threw the thing wrapped in clothes.
Because of his skill, the object moved extremely fast.
The four of them didn't react in time, and the big package flew up into the air, soaring three or four meters high.
They couldn't help but look up.
At this moment, Zhang Chen in the tunnel kicked off the ground.
He used his Ghost Shadow Phantom Steps and "whooshed" out of the tunnel.
He swung his arms, and two iron nails shot out through the air.
The two who were closest were immediately pierced in the head by the iron nails and died on the spot.
