C1477 Corpse of Mining Tunnel
When Zhang Rui heard Zhang Zhi's words, although he was slightly displeased, he knew that Zhang Zhi was speaking the truth. Thus, he didn't say much and instead chose to personally lead the group into the mine.
He was confident that with his level five divine abilities, even if there was a Li family member hidden in the mine, he would not only be unable to cause trouble, but would also die at his hands.
This was because he was certain that the Li family's two level six gods were already dead. The elder level figures of level five gods were all dead, and almost all of the level four gods had been killed as well.
"Follow Third Elder and enter the mine!" Accompanied by Zhang Zhi's low shout, the Zhang Family disciples who were guarding this area followed Zhang Zhi into the mine one after another. Zhang Zhi Yuan and Zhang Bo were among them.
Soon, their group arrived at the northwest region of the mine, where the mine had collapsed.
Countless rocks and soil were mixed together with the jade stone mine, blocking all of the tunnels … If not for the fact that the Zhang Family had roughly explored this mine vein previously, perhaps they would have been able to discover the existence of a mine tunnel from the soil and rocks on the surface of the ground.
The person at the very front closed his eyes for a moment, before snorting, "Dig this place up again."
"Alright." Zhang Zhi nodded his head lightly and gestured to the people behind him.
A moment later, dozens of labourers came forward and began to clean up the rocks and soil with special hoes. Compared to mining, clearing the tunnels looked tiring, but it was actually easier.
The mountain rocks and soil that fell down were very soft to them. They only needed to use a little bit of strength to dig them out, unlike when mining, they would need to use all their strength to dig up the mountain rocks to confirm if there were any jade ores.
"Ding ding dang dang …" Along with a series of crisp sounds, the tunnel was rapidly cleared up. Because of Zhang Rui's existence, none of the hard laborers here dared to slack off.
Roughly an hour later.
More than three tunnels had been reconnected, corresponding to different tunnels in the northwest direction of the mine.
A while later.
"Ah …" A miserable scream suddenly rang out in the middle of the reconnected tunnel.
The eyes of Zhang Rui, who was guarding this area, flashed and disappeared without a trace. He didn't even have to take half a breath to appear in the middle of the tunnel.
However, Zhang Rui did not mind. Instead, he coldly looked ahead of him. There was a person lying on the ground with a terrified expression on his face. He was not injured at all.
After staring coldly for a while, Zhang Rui suppressed his anger and asked, "What happened?"
"Die …" Dead, they were dead … "Dead, abnormal." The coolie looked into the depths and became increasingly terrified.
Zhang Rui frowned slightly, then suddenly attacked, "Break!"
After a split-second, a resplendent divine light appeared in his hands, and with a slight flash, he arrived at the depths of the passageway.
With a bang, the mountain rocks exploded, and soil flew into the air.
Under Zhang Rui's might, the passage in the middle was instantly cleared by over thirty meters.
whoosh whoosh whoosh … * Sounds of breaking wind came out, Zhang Zhi brought the other Zhang Family disciples and rushed to this tunnel.
After a brief observation, Zhang Zhi's pupils slightly constricted … At first glance, there were many corpses, at least twenty of them lying in disarray in the mine. Their faces were covered in blood and it was hard to determine their identity.
At the same time, Zhang Rui was also clearly seeing the fear on the face of a slightly more complete corpse. It was as if he had seen something terrifying before he died.
About half a breath later.
"Third Elder, there's something strange about their deaths."
After pausing for a moment, Zhang Zhi clenched his fists and continued, "Although these labourers are just trash, but after all, they still have their cultivation bases with them." After pausing for a moment, Zhang Zhi clenched his fists and continued, "Although these labourers are just trash, after all, they still have their cultivation bases with them.
"They didn't die because of the collapse of the mine.
Along with this mutter, Zhang Rui's face turned dark, "Look carefully, this tunnel has quite a lot of broken limbs and flesh pieces, and it should be caused by some kind of powerful attack. Also, there are twenty or so barely intact corpses, and if you look carefully, you can find that they must have suffered some kind of strong attack before they died …" If nothing unexpected happens, they will die before the mines even collapse! "0
Zhang Zhi instantly responded, "Just now, this disciple thought that the broken limbs on the ground were caused by the attacks of the elders, so this disciple has misunderstood … Could it be a remnant of the Li Family? "
"I don't think so. If it really is a remnant of the Li Family, there is no need to deal with these labourers. Even if they wanted to take action, they would have to deal with my Zhang Family disciples."
Zhang Rui immediately denied it and snorted coldly, "Keep digging!"
"Okay." The other hard laborers recovered in an instant and began to dig again while enduring the fear and disgust in their hearts.
Zhang Rui, on the other hand, didn't say anything else … He did not explain the previous attack.
From the looks of his attack, it seemed as if the mountain rocks and earth, along with the jadestone mine that was mixed within, had been shattered into pieces. However, only Zhang Rui knew the power of his attack.
The broken limbs and flesh here was something that had existed before.
As they dug, they realized that the corpse was not over. It was just the beginning!
As more and more tunnels were dug up, more and more corpses appeared … None of them were alive. They were all dead.
It was either his body being torn to shreds or he was in a miserable state with potholes all over.
However, because Zhang Rui was in charge, there was no longer any sign of fear on the faces of the labourers. They only buried their heads in cleaning up, hoping to finish it as soon as possible and leave as soon as possible.
As the number of corpses increased, Zhang Zhi's face became darker and darker.
The hard labourers had died a little too many times.
It had to be known that the Zhang Family was already short on manpower. With so many hard labourers dying this time, the speed at which the jade vein was being mined in the future would probably decrease by leaps and bounds!
A hard worker was not a normal person.
There are two categories of hard labourers in general.
The first type was the Zhang Family disciples who had made a mistake and were punished by the Zhang Family to come to the mines to mine, and only leave after a certain amount of time had passed.
The first type was, after offending Zhang Family, being captured by it, and then being sent to the mines to mine. This kind of person would never be able to leave the mines, the only exception was, if Zhang Family was in a good mood, perhaps they would be allowed to leave.
The last category was the people recruited by Zhang Family. These kind of people would pay with Zhang Family to mine here, so there were very few of these kinds of people.
With so many hard laborers dead, how could they be replenished? The Zhang Family s could not simply capture someone and send them to the mines in the wild, and if that was the case, it would incur the wrath of the masses. This was detrimental to the control of the Zhang Family s over Demon Sealing City.
Zhang Zhi was in charge of the mines here, and the output of the mines were related to the materials he could obtain from Zhang Family … After losing so many hard laborers, the supplies Zhang Zhi was able to obtain had definitely shrunk. It would be strange if he could be happy.
