At this moment, a middle-aged monk with a majestic face was sitting cross-legged on a fairly flat rock in the cave, with his eyes slightly closed and spiritual energy surrounding him.
in vain.
Hearing the commotion outside the cave, he couldn't help but frown, and then slowly stopped the exercise, and the spiritual energy around him quickly dissipated.
He stood up with an unhappy look on his face. When he came outside the cave, he saw a noisy group and frowned even more.
The two monks guarding outside the cave quickly clasped their fists when they saw the majestic-looking middle-aged monk.
"Brother Ba... They wanted to break into your cave, but we two stopped them!"
Another guarding monk hurriedly said, "Brother Ba... their cultivation level is higher than ours... we can't get rid of them either!"
"Okay...you continue to stay here!" Wang Daba waved his hand and said when he saw the seven familiar mine heads in front of him.
"Song Laoer... What do you miners do to come to my place?"
"Wang Daba, we would like to ask, is your spirit stone ore still there?" Song Laoer cupped his fists and said.
"Yes...I just came to ask!"
"Yes, this matter is of great importance. Wang Daba, please don't hide it!"
···············
Wang Daba frowned, looking at the scene in front of him, he knew something must have happened.
otherwise.
Nor would all the miners from other mine tunnels come to him, so his attitude could not be tough, as he could not withstand the siege of the other seven monks.
"My Lingshi ore has always been there! What happened... Let's go to the cave to discuss it in detail!" Wang Daba said with some confusion. He knew that it must be related to the Lingshi ore, but he didn't know the specific details.
What happened is unknown.
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the cave.
"Let's go in and take a look!" Song Laoer said.
"Okay, let's go in and find out whether Wang Daba did it or not!"
"If he did it... we can't spare him!"
"Let's go together!"
The seven mine heads followed Wang Daba into the cave. They glanced around the cave and saw a pile of raw stone mines.
"His original ore of spirit stones is still there!"
"But the number is wrong!... Could it be that he is hiding it?"
"It's not impossible!"
········
Wang Daba saw them talking more and more outrageously, and shouted: "Okay, what happened? Why are they all staring at my raw ore of spiritual stones!
Song Laoer, tell me, why are you coming to my place?"
Song Laoer pondered for a while and said, "Wang Daba, have you stolen our raw spiritual stone ore? The other seven of us have been completely stolen, and not even a single raw spiritual stone ore is left.
You are the only one who has not lost the raw spiritual stone ore here, so you are the most suspicious!"
After hearing this, Wang Daba couldn't help being surprised, and then he felt secretly happy, but his face remained surprised.
But he knew that he must not pour this basin of dirty water on his head, otherwise, he would be in big trouble.
Then, he frowned and said, "These days, I have been practicing in the cave and have never taken a step outside the cave. No matter who you ask, this is the case!
Moreover, during this period of time, my cultivation has been in a breakthrough state and I have been practicing continuously. Now I have been promoted to the fifth level of Qi training, so I have absolutely no time to go out in the past few days.
Before you came, I had been strengthening the foundation.
What's more, all the raw spiritual stones from all of you have been stolen and are missing! Maybe someone hid them and pretended to have been stolen."
What he said was to expose their secrets. Although there may be some hidden secrets, it was just a small effort on his part, so why not do it!
None of his eyes and ears are exposed. When the time comes, they investigate each other, and their secrets will be lost a lot. By then, his eyes and ears will be the largest and the widest.
This is a conspiracy. Compared with Anzi's loss, the raw stone ore is the core wealth. I believe they will make a wise choice.
Hear the words.
Song Laoer and other seven mine heads were each thinking secretly, each with a different look on his face.
Some frowned, some looked determined, and some looked pity...
Not long after.
"Okay, let's go back and investigate first!"
"Yes, indeed!"
"Although it is unlikely, it is not impossible!"
"It's time to investigate more carefully!"
After a while, walking inside the cave was clean.
"Xiaoba, come in!" A majestic voice came from inside the cave.
After hearing this, the young man guarding the right side trotted into the cave.
"Brother Ba...what orders do you have?"
"From now on, send all the people out, especially the entrance and exit of the eighth mine tunnel, and watch it carefully.
When you see other mine monks entering, don't stop them, just watch them come into contact and talk with those people!
Also closely monitor the remaining seven mine heads who come into contact with the personnel in this mine tunnel!
·····Understand?"
The guard monk, Xiaoba, nodded and said, "Brother Ba... I promise to complete the mission!"
"You get down!"
"yes!"
After saying that, he trotted out and started arranging manpower.
Wang Daba looked at Xiaoba's back. He knew that at this moment, he absolutely could not go out and arrange manpower. He also had a more important task, which was to guard the Lingshi mine.
The rest of the seven sub-mine tunnels have been stolen, and he is now afraid that as soon as he goes out, all the raw spiritual stone mines will also be stolen.
Within half a day.
In each sub-mine tunnel, people come and go frequently and move frequently, but each mine head turns a blind eye and meets the miners in different mine tunnels from time to time.
For a while, it looked almost the same as before, but in fact, at this time, the mine tunnel was full of people.
From time to time, I would see miners wandering around, seemingly doing nothing.
As time goes by, the idle workers in various mine tunnels gradually disappear.
The mine heads in each mine channel analyzed the information given by Anzi, but found that no one met the conditions to steal the raw spiritual stone ore. At the same time, they cleaned up the exposed eyes and ears in other mine channels.
In this large-scale investigation, Wang Daba was the winner in the end. All his eyes and ears were not exposed and were still hidden in the dark.
The next day.
The remaining eight miners came to Wang Daba's cave, and now he is the only one who has not been stolen.
Wang Daba is in the cave, gathering all the ore heads in the Lingshi mine veins.
"How... should we find out who did it?" Wang Daba was also quite worried about this problem. He didn't want the raw spiritual stone ore he had stored to be remembered by others.
"Didn't find any useful information!"
"Same here!"
"It seems that everyone's situation is similar."
"Who has found valuable clues? Let's search together and reduce losses as much as possible!"
"Not bad!... If you have any clues, please tell me immediately and let's discuss it."
Seeing this, Song Laoer knew that they had no specific clues, and then thought for a moment and said.
"After my investigation, it was found that it was not any one of us who stole the raw spiritual stone this time, but someone else. I don't know which miner it is from the mine!"
"Song Laoer, if you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have something to say, say it quickly! Don't show off." A rather impatient mine manager said with an impatient look.
"If there is any solution to... let's discuss it!"
"Yes, everyone is more anxious now and will discuss the matter directly!"
"Not bad!...Song Laoer, what do you think?" Wang Daba agreed.
Song Laoer looked around and said calmly.
"First of all, we have to keep this news secret and don't let it spread. If we don't have enough raw spiritual stone ore handed over this month, it will cause panic among our subordinates.
Otherwise... it will arouse the vigilance of the little thief. The little thief has the highest cultivation level, which is the middle stage of Qi training, and will not be too strong. Otherwise, he will not steal, but rob.
The last step is to trouble Brother Wang!... The eight of us need to lie in wait here, waiting for the little thief to fall into the trap!
Based on the little thief's stealing method, the most likely possibility is earth escape. This spell is easy to learn but difficult to master!
If you have any thoughts on this, let’s discuss it with each other!”
"That's no problem. The little thief will definitely come again, and he must still be thinking about my raw spiritual stone ore." Wang Daba agreed. He also wanted to find the little thief who was thinking about him as soon as possible.
"Okay... let's arrange it in detail!"
"We must capture him alive...and retrieve our original spiritual stone mine!"
····················
Inside the cave, eight monks who were in the middle stage of Qi training began to set up their arrangements intensively. A large net had been opened, waiting for the little thief to fall into the trap.
