"Guard, the situation is not good, that thing exploded!"
When Zou Jing received the report from his subordinates, his heart sank and he asked in a low voice: "Is it serious?"
"The internal structure of the thing was damaged, but the outside looked intact."
"That's good!"
Zou Jing looked calm on the surface, but his heart was turbulent. Whether he could tear a hole from the demon clan depends on tonight.
"Remember, you must not tell others about this, just say that the thing needs repairing!"
"As you command!"
Zou Jing was planning his game. He was determined to win Blackwater City. He would capture Blackwater City, control Mengcheng, and push northward to win more monsters to join him. This was his first step plan.
Zhao Feng didn't know that his unilateral actions ultimately helped Zou Jing a lot.
In the Fairy City area, the nights in the rainy season are always unpredictable. The rain that was not heavy at first suddenly turned into a violent storm at the time of Youshi.
The Ma family and other demon tribes who had just returned to Jinshan Castle did not expect that someone was following them in the heavy rain all night.
Jinshan Fort is a fortress built by the hardliners of the demon clan who worship the demon king and spent decades building it here.
The ordinary people of Dayan Kingdom have not been here for twenty or thirty years. Most of the monsters living here are mine supervisors.
Most of the people mining here are the common people of the Yan Kingdom, and a few are half-demon and disabled demons. These ordinary people, demons, and half-demon are all captured by slave traders like Mars over many years.
Ji Antai and others often hunt wild beasts and monsters in the nearby area, so they are very familiar with the roads in this area.
In the heavy rain, in order to deceive others, Zhao Feng led Lu Su, Cai Yan, Luo Xin, and two other archers to clear the way in front.
Jiantai took the other brothers to deal with unexpected situations, while the bullock cart slowly followed behind.
The way to Jinshan Fort must go through a mountain forest with no obvious road. The cunning monsters have set many traps on the only way. Anyone who is not familiar with the narrow paths will definitely die if they enter them.
In the heavy rain, Zhao Feng and others came to a checkpoint built on a big tree.
The big tree is as thick as five or six people can hug each other. There are many such big trees in the deep mountains and old forests, and they can be seen everywhere.
The long-haired oxen pulled the oxcart and advanced slowly towards the checkpoint. Even in the heavy rain, the demon clan's keen sense of smell and hearing still noticed abnormalities.
"Go out and have a look!"
Inside the checkpoint, the demon sentry on guard stood on a thick tree branch and vaguely saw something approaching.
After a while, as the ox cart approached, I realized it was a strange ox cart.
"I don't know where the bullock cart came from!" said the sentry.
Suddenly, a long-haired ox not far from the big tree pulled the ox cart like crazy and hit the big tree. The sentry almost fell off in fright.
"What's going on?"
Inside the outpost, the sentries were alerted and all ran out to check the situation.
Zhao Feng made a gesture, and Luo Xin released a barrier, which blocked the sound in a nearby area of more than ten feet, and also blocked the rain from falling.
Cai Yan plucked the strings, and a burst of rapid sound exploded in the ears of the demon sentries. The shock caused severe pain in the brains of these demon sentries. They were temporarily deafened and blinded. Some demon sentries stepped on the air and fell directly from the tree.
"Do it!"
Several feather arrows combined with the darts fired by Zhao Feng hit all the demon sentries on the big tree. These demon sentries fell down unconsciously and had already been poisoned and died.
One of the sentries who fell from the big tree was pierced by a thorn in the neck and could not survive. The other was lucky and had only some scratches. Before he could recover, Zhao Feng rushed over and kicked him.
The head was crushed.
"Brother Zhao, don't you want to live?"
"No need, we will go underground later! The wind is blowing in the direction of Jinshan Fort now, I will set a fire for them!"
"Set fire?" Luo Xin looked confused.
Zhao Feng possesses a kind of flame that can burn all living things. This kind of flame cannot be extinguished by ordinary water.
Zhao Feng lit a fire, put away the oxcart, and took out a gadget that could mine minerals—a polyhedral metal tool.
This thing was discovered by him and Gan Xiaoxiao when they were digging the quarry passage when they discovered the Xuantian Illusion Realm. They have not been able to use it since then, but now it is put to use.
Zhao Feng only learned about the purpose and usage of these small tools after arriving at the Martial Arts Palace. One of these small tools can explore underground spaces.
The real way for the monster clan to enter Jinshan Fort is not through this dense and murderous jungle, but through the tunnel.
Zhao Feng found the tunnel dug by the demon clan, determined the direction, and opened a tunnel that allowed three people to pass side by side.
"Brother Luo, how about this method?"
Luo Xin looked at the fire that was getting stronger and stronger around him, and was secretly frightened: "Brother Zhao, let's go quickly, the fire will change direction at any time due to the wind!"
Zhao Feng led everyone into the tunnel, and when Ji Antai and his men arrived, they closed the tunnel so that no one could find their whereabouts.
Not long after Zhao Feng and others entered the underground, someone found their previous location.
"Captain, those people have lost their traces and don't know where they are going?"
"Idiot, get back!"
This mysterious man ended his conversation with his boss and disappeared into the rain, as if he had never appeared before.
Just as the mysterious man disappeared, the old man poked his head out from behind a nearby big tree: "Water escape, huh, these scum's methods are pretty good!"
On the other side, not long after Zhao Feng and others entered the tunnel, a team escorting slaves came towards them.
"Brother Ji, what should we do?" Zhao Feng deliberately asked Ji Antai's opinion.
"Brother Zhao, there is no way to go here. If you don't do anything, you can't stop. The only way is to fight through it, all the way to Jinshan Fort!"
"Okay, just what I want!"
This time, Luo Xin and Cai Yan cooperated and used auxiliary spells to harass the group of monsters escorting the slaves. These monsters found all the human slaves lying on the ground and were at a loss. Bows, arrows, darts, and fireballs flew towards them one by one.
Unable to escape, they were all killed.
In order to prevent the tunnel from being discovered, the demon clan set up an ambush at the entrance, which was heavily guarded. However, Zhao Feng was unconventional and came in from halfway, just avoiding the entrance. However, their location was not too far from the entrance.
The abnormal situation was quickly discovered by the demon guards.
"Brother Ji, watch out!"
Zhao Feng threw a thunder bomb in the direction of the entrance. He bought this from Fogg, and there are still two left.
The power of thunder bombs is far more powerful than the high-explosive grenades used by various countries before the earth changed.
A big explosion occurred at the entrance of this tunnel. Mud flew up into the air along with flames, leaving only a large pit filled with corpses.
On the other side of the tunnel, Zhao Feng and others also felt uncomfortable. A section of the tunnel was collapsed by the explosion. Fortunately, a few people ran fast, otherwise they would have been buried alive. They were all made gray and disgraced, and their ears were buzzing for a while.
I can't hear the sound clearly for a while.
"Damn, it's so powerful!" Zhao Feng muttered.
He had no experience in blasting, so he had no idea that the same bomb would have completely different effects depending on the size of the explosion space.
In the past, he used it in open areas outside and didn't think it was very powerful. This time, he detonated it in the tunnel and almost buried himself alive.
The explosion in the tunnel attracted the attention of the guards at the warehouse closest to them in the center of the tunnel. These monster guards came to check, but were quickly eliminated by Zhao Feng, Ji Antai and others.
In the tunnel, there are many monster guards left behind, but these guards never dreamed that outsiders would come in, and they were also powerful strangers.
This tunnel is just one of many tunnels, and it happens to be the main place where underground materials are stored.
"Wow, boss, we've made a fortune!"
Luo Xin and his brothers pushed open a warehouse door and almost went blind when they saw the things inside.
When Zhao Feng and Ji Antai came to the warehouse, they were all shocked. It turned out that the warehouse was full of gold and silver ingots. The number was estimated to be several hundred tons.
In the world of warriors, although gold and silver are not as precious as soul stones, they are also necessary materials for refining weapons, armor, and various items, and they are of higher value.
"Brother Zhao, if these things were before the earth's great changes, our brothers could have stayed in bed eating and drinking for dozens of lives!" Ji Antai was so happy that he said stupid things:
"If I could return to Earth, I would definitely marry dozens of wives and have hundreds of children! Live in a mansion and enjoy good food and drink!"
Luo Xin and other Ji Antai's brothers almost burst into laughter when they heard the boss's heroic words. They all pretended not to hear and began to divide the spoils. According to the previous agreement, they could take as much as they could, and the rest would belong to Zhao Feng.
.
Fortunately, in the past few days, Ji Antai and his brothers exchanged the demon soul wood they obtained from Zhao Feng and got several new storage rings.
According to their current carrying capacity, there is no problem in taking away the gold and silver from this warehouse. The problem is that there are still many warehouses ahead, and gold and silver are not necessities, so it is useless to take more.
So a few people combined and took away 10% of the gold and silver. Zhao Feng waved the rest, leaving only an empty warehouse.
After opening the second warehouse, there was still gold and silver. Ji Antai and the others took it away without any action, and it was all taken away by Zhao Feng. This was the case for the four warehouses in a row. Ji Antai and the other brothers began to be frightened by Zhao Feng's ability to carry items with him.
.
"Boss, how much can Brother Zhao carry? Isn't this too scary?"
"Mind your own business, that's what others do. Tell my brothers, don't just focus on getting rich, it's not safe here!"
"Boss, don't worry, the big guy won't be following you for a day or two!"
The fifth warehouse appeared soon, but this warehouse was located on the side of a completely underground intersection.
Several drunk demon guards were lying on the ground in twos and threes, or leaning on the side of the passage, sleeping, or talking drunkenly.
"Kill them all. Search and see if there are any maps or anything like that!"
Ji Antai gave an order, and Luo Xin and others quickly cut through the mess and killed the demon guards. After a search, they found nothing of note.
