Chapter 510:

From the Pit Cave to the nearest fishman post, it was at least five or six kilometers away.

The eyesight of those fishmen cannot be good enough to detect any clues in the cave.

Unless there is a big commotion, it is impossible to discover what is going on here.

At any rate, he had personally transferred 29 Lion Skeleton Knights before.

So I gained experience and gained the confidence not to be discovered by shallow water fish people.

Sure enough, everyone followed Zong Shen's instructions and entered the cave in a long queue without attracting the fishman's attention.

Zong Shen and Baron Bezos personally served as the vanguard, leading their soldiers at the forefront.

The workers behind lit torches one after another, and the firelight illuminated the tunnel.

It also left a strong smell of smoke.

Baron Bezos was very careful along the way, keeping his eyes on the ground and around him.

Zong Shen felt very relaxed, after all, this was the third time he had entered it.

They did not go directly to the end of the walkway. Instead, after confirming the walkway, Baron Bezos asked the workers to dig on both sides.

Especially those with obvious traces of wooden beams.

The workers were divided into two groups, one group was responsible for digging, and the other group was responsible for transporting the soil away through rattan baskets.

There are twenty people in the excavation team and ten people in the transportation team.

The tunnel is about four to five meters wide and can accommodate two cavalrymen running side by side.

Zong Shen also took out two magic drilling machines.

Let his two sergeants Roddock be responsible for driving.

The driving difficulty of the magic machine is not high. As long as you know the functions of the push rods and buttons, you can quickly get started.

Zong Shen didn't spend much effort when he first learned.

That is to say, let the strategy module indicate the function of the corresponding putter for him.

Under his personal guidance, the two sergeants Rodock quickly mastered the driving skills.

With the addition of the magic drilling machine, the excavation progress has been greatly improved.

The laborer will first excavate a part, and then let the drilling machine advance slowly.

A team of fourth-level Avalon Strike Rangers occupied the nearby commanding heights.

Or on some tree crowns, or on rocks near the mountainside.

They will guard the vicinity of the ruins pit as sentinels.

The group of fourth-level Avalon strong swordsmen followed Baron Bezos.

When Zong Shen took out the magic drilling machine, the excavation progress in the passage was greatly improved.

Baron Bezos and he also led the soldiers under his command to move forward and came to the hall.

The place still looks peaceful, but Zong Shen has already cleaned up the place.

He deliberately walked behind and watched Baron Bezos holding a torch to search and check one by one.

…

Five or six hours later.

It was already dark outside.

The time also came to ten o'clock in the evening.

During this period, the workers only rested once and ate the dry food they brought with them.

These laborers were hired by Baron Bezos.

Because it is a long journey, the wages are very high, 5 dinars per person per day.

If the miscellaneous maid found out, she would have fainted in tears on the way.

During this time, the passages on both sides have been almost excavated.

Got about 62 rare knight lances and 26 knight swords.

In addition, there are plate armors worn by war horses, of which there are only 12 sets.

These are all the gains from the ruins on both sides.

Zong Shen was paying attention the whole time, and according to the agreement, the equipment would be divided equally between the two.

As for the cave hall where Baron Bezos had placed high hopes, he found nothing.

He asked the accompanying team of fourth-level strong swordsmen to put on shovels and dig for several hours.

Even he himself dug for a long time, but still had no harvest.

In those wooden houses filled with mud, only some remains and badly decayed armor were found.

During this period, Zong Shen also helped dig with a shovel for a while.

He naturally knew that this was useless behavior, but he still had to show off.

The excavation outside the passage came to an end, and workers and magic drilling machines came in one after another.

Get ready for a new round of excavations.

For Baron Bezos, this exploration of the ruins was incredibly smooth.

Two more [Magic Drilling Machines] were added, which increased the excavation efficiency several times.

However, he still frowned, looking dissatisfied.

After working for five or six hours in a row, he felt very tired. Moreover, he had been on an airship for a long time today, which made him physically and mentally exhausted.

This is especially true in a dark and cramped environment like a cave.

Baron Bezos took Zong Shen to the side and found the remains of a petrified cabin to sit down.

"Brother Zong..."

His voice was deeply tired and a little confused.

Zong Shen's condition was much better than him.

But staying in such an environment for a long time still made him a little inexplicably irritable.

This is not a big problem, just a little emotion.

Hearing Baron Bezos' call, he took off his helmet and turned his head.

Through the dim light of the surrounding torches, he could vaguely see the expression of Baron Bezos.

The shadows of the two men were reflected on the roof of the cave under the light of the fire, stretching very long.

Surrounded by the sound of shovels digging into the soil, there was also the "rumble" of the magic drilling machine.

"Sir, you can say whatever you want."

Zong Shen moved his arms and asked casually.

"This exploration operation went very smoothly."

"So far, we haven't even alerted the Lion Skeleton Knight."

"This situation makes me a little uneasy."

Baron Bezos said it truthfully, but it wasn't just these uneasy factors that made him unhappy.

In response, Zong Shen just spread his hands.

"When I came to investigate in the morning, I just met a lion and skeleton knight."

"We met in the tunnel and I ran out."

"Mr. Bezos, we must not take this lightly."

"Those lion skeleton knights must be deep in the cave."

"There are several dark passages here."

"After we dig further, we should alert those guys."

Zong Shen raised his hand and pointed to the dark passages in the distance.

These are part of the ruins and unexplored places.

Although he abducted 29 lion and skeleton knights by himself, according to his estimation, there must be many undead deep in the ruins.

For this reason, he had asked about the strategy before to understand the composition of the Lion Knights.

The knights of the Knights of the Lion are mainly composed of fifth-level knights, and there are also some sixth-level knights.

The number is about one-fifth of the total number of legions, that is, a brigade, about 1,200 people.

According to the proportion, Zong Shen speculated that there must be some fifth-level lion skeleton knights deep in the ruins.

There is even a high probability of a sixth-level lion and skeleton knight.

At least a few hundred people were left at this garrison back then.

Excluding those who died in the terminal explosion, the number of those who endured other hardships and became undead is somewhere between 60 and 100.

Because there are not only explosions in the final period, the armors of the resurrected lion skeleton knights are all in tatters, and their bones are covered with knife marks, which once again confirms his previous thoughts.

That is, epochs are made up of many tribulations, of which the explosion is only the most obvious factor.

For the above reasons, Zong Shencai was so sure that there must be more undead in the depths of the ruins.

If his guess is wrong, then he can only make another excuse.

Just say that those lion skeleton knights may have run away on their own.

Anyway, Baron Bezos is not sure about the situation here.

After thinking of countermeasures, Zong Shen became calmer.

What he said makes sense.

The current exploration progress has only reached about 50%.

Barely half the progress has been completed.

Baron Bezos could only nod, pinning his hopes on places yet to be excavated.

…

Excavation work continued into the early hours of the morning.

To ensure safety and basic rest.

Baron Bezos ordered the excavation to stop and for the workers to return to the surface along the tunnel.

Zong Shen also put away two magic energy drilling machines.

He and Baron Bezos will take their respective warriors to take charge of the aftermath.

Although there is no danger in the crypt, Baron Bezos cannot let everyone rest in the ruins, even if he arranges manpower to keep watch.

Once the Lion Skeleton Knight suddenly attacks, it will inevitably cause huge casualties.

Zong Shen naturally had no objection to this.

The eight or nine hours of excavation made the laborers very tired.

The corresponding traveling speed is much slower.

It took more than an hour for everyone to return to the top of the mountain from the ruins.

At midnight, strong winds roared across the top of the mountain.

Because of the altitude, there are no trees blocking the cliffs on the top of the mountain.

The wind can drive straight in here and sweep across.

The simple tents built before became a resting place for workers and soldiers from the city.

It was blown whistling in the strong wind.

Fortunately, the baggage boxes were piled up under those poles.

Baron Bezos's bed is also simple, but it is much better than others.

He made a bed out of four luggage boxes and covered it with several layers of soft fur.

This kind of bed is incomparable to a castle, but it is definitely better than sleeping on the floor.

Zong Shen and Vereesa slept next to Yingjiang.

Yingjiang's body, which was more than ten meters long, turned around and lay on its side. Its wings were folded, forming a small shelter.

Everyone just lay beside it.

Zong Shen was a little bolder and lay directly on its hind limbs.

It's like a lion's hind legs. Although it also has scales, it is much softer.

Just one night and that's it!

…

The next day, around seven in the morning.

Baron Bezos had already woken up.

Compared with Zong Shen, he cares more about the progress of the excavation of the ruins.

I wish I could dig up the entire ruins in one day.

Under his mobilization, all the workers and soldiers in the city also woke up.

The soldiers were pretty good, but the workers were very tired.

Digging is not an easy job.

Their physiques are also inferior to those of the warriors.

I had only rested for more than six hours in one night, and I was still somewhat sleepy.

The top of the cliff is literally yawning.

Seeing this situation, Baron Bezos also carried out temporary mobilization.

"Everyone listen up."

"Work hard today and try to get everything done tonight."

"As an incentive, as long as the excavation task is completed tonight, everyone will be paid a one-time salary of 20 dinars!"

"Even if it's yesterday, that's 25 dinars. In addition, when you return tomorrow, wages will be paid at 5 dinars/day, so here it's already 30 dinars!"

He decided to use wages as an incentive.

You can earn 30 dinars in two or three days, which is equivalent to nearly a month's income for these workers.

It is equivalent to one and a half months' salary of a handyman maid.

When Zong Shen came to Bosbon before, seven or eight people had a meal for less than 10 dinars.

From this we can see the significance of this money to ordinary Aboriginal people.

This trick worked really well, and the workers suddenly became energetic.

Everyone raised their shovels and cheered.

"Long live Lord Bezos!"

"Long live Lord Bezos!"

"Long live!"

…

The cheers woke Zong Shen up.

Vereesa and the others had woken up long ago, but they did not take the initiative to call Zong Shen.

Normally six hours of sleep is more than enough for him.

I'm a little bit sleepy today.

After stretching, Zong Shen touched his face and rubbed his eyes and soon woke up.

"Why are they so excited?"

Listening to the cheers, Zong Shen turned his head and asked with some doubts.

Alsia on the side is holding the staff with a smile on her face.

He relayed the cause and effect of the incident to Zong Shen.

"It turns out the salary is increased."

"I thought something was wrong."

"Vereesa, distribute food to everyone."

Zong Shen nodded and gave instructions to Vereesa.

This time when I went out to explore, the supplies and food were placed in Vereesa's storage compartment.

She also distributes it.

The food is very simple, a piece of hard bread and a piece of dried meat per person.

Everyone has a water bag ready.

This is their breakfast.

Even Zong Shen is no exception. He basically eats and lives with everyone.

Only occasionally would I open a small stove in the lord's small building.

It's not bad to be able to eat these without making a fire.

At the same time the workers stopped cheering.

Their dry food was provided by Baron Bezos.

It is a kind of potato that has been steamed in advance.

Some are like potatoes, but much larger.

Each one is the size of a small melon.

It has dark red thin skin.

After steaming once, it can be stored at room temperature for three to five days.

This thing will get harder and harder as it is stored for longer.

Just eat it with good teeth and some water.

It's not bad as dry food, at least it will keep you full.

But workers are not so particular about this.

As for Baron Bezos himself and the accompanying soldiers from the city, they had much better food.

They also had no fire, and each had an apple, a hard-boiled egg, relatively fresh white bread, and raspberry jam.

The contrast between this kind of food and that of workers is huge.

However, no one expressed dissatisfaction with this.

The indigenous people of this world are already hugely divided.

Workers have long been accustomed to class differences.

Employers like Bezos who are willing to provide solid food and extra salary are rare.

When the lower-class aborigines adapted to such a situation, everything became more acceptable.

During this period, Baron Bezos also came to see Zong Shen and asked if he wanted breakfast.

But by that time, Zong Shen and the others had already finished eating.

Like Vereesa and others, he didn't pay much attention to what he ate.

Everything has the ultimate goal of filling your stomach.

Pragmatism has almost become their habit.

This is also a style that Zong Shen himself has developed since his debut.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

After breakfast, it was already around 7:40 in the morning.

The workers organized themselves into teams again with shovels, water bags, and rattan baskets.

It was still Zong Shen and Baron Bezos who led their respective warriors to open the way ahead.

The laborers followed and formed a long line in the middle.

At the end, a team of fourth-level strike rangers are responsible for the rear.

Today's task is still to excavate the ruins.

These rangers are still responsible for maintaining tight security near the ruins.

Pay special attention to those shallow water fishmen.

Once they discover that the fishmen are moving towards the ruins, the rangers will immediately report to Baron Bezos.

Twelve level four rangers are also a considerable fighting force.

Zong Shen and Baron Bezos entered the cave passage first.

Compared with yesterday, the passage was excavated and widened a lot.

It is even possible to allow three or four carriages to move forward side by side.

The passages and crypt halls have been almost explored.

Baron Bezos is so obsessed with this that he even dug out many cabins that were filled with soil yesterday.

For Zong Shen, this is a useless effort.

But he didn't say much and just let Baron Bezos do whatever he wanted.

Anyway, he only put in some effort to support himself and contributed two magic excavators.

What should be earned has already been earned.

Next, distributing those ancient equipment left behind will be a sure profit.

Even if one person is half as good as Zong Shen, he still makes a lot of money.

Today's goal is simple and clear, that is, to excavate the remaining parts of the ruins.

Even Zong Shen had not had time to set foot in this part before.

According to the guide tips, there should be four or five valuable places.

Zong Shen hoped that these places would all be filled with ancient deacon equipment.

It's best not to have a treasure chest at all.

Although he also knew this was impossible.

The treasure chest is a source of embarrassment, and Baron Bezos will inevitably become suspicious if he cannot open it.

Zong Shen has already made up his mind, if they find the treasure chest.

Then just pretend to be dumbfounded, and then see if there is any chance that you can get it without being embarrassed and polite.

Baron Bezos stood there, waiting for the workers to enter one after another.

Torches were stuck in the corners or on the walls.

After discussion between the two, it was decided that six strong swordsmen under Baron Bezos and four Rodok sergeants under Zong Shen would form an exploration team and take the initiative to enter the dark passages that had not yet been opened.

Zong Shen had no objection to this.

Only after exploration by the warriors could they allow the laborers and magic drills to begin digging.

There are four passages of different widths here, corresponding to three directions.

There are two directly in front, and one at different locations on the left and right sides.

Baron Bezos decided and chose a passage near the right as the first exploration target!
