"The terrain displayed on this meteorite iron plate is incomplete, and there should be other meteorite iron plates." A great nobleman thought for a moment and expressed his thoughts.

"A part of this treasure map requires finding all the treasure maps to know the exact location of the Emperor's tomb."

An Linyuan said seriously:

"The guard commander led the mercenaries to continue to siege the castle. It is best to capture it. If it cannot be captured, it will prevent the heavy natives from leaving the city to destroy our plan to find a large tomb, and it will also contribute to the Western Expedition Army."

"The nobles will continue to look for the meteorite iron cards according to the divided plots and gather all parts of the treasure map."

After the meeting, the nobles began to mobilize the livable areas west of the snow-capped mountains.

The demand for food and grass for millions of troops was extremely huge, and the military rations transported by snow-capped routes were limited. The food and grass needed to be solved on the spot. Soon, in the livable areas where food was already scarce, most of the creatures were eaten up by the army.

The army of the Eastern Empire in the Snow Mountains began to reduce personnel due to shortage of food.

In order to obtain food, the nobles divided up many troops to go to the sea ice field to capture monsters. The treasure hunt was greatly affected and the progress slowed down.

"The livable area in the west of Snow Mountain is too small, with only more than 10,000 square kilometers. The humans in the entire area are only the natives who occupy this castle in front of them." The guard commander of the vanguard unit sighed.

"This area was originally where my tribe and I lived, but unfortunately my tribe was gone when I was crossing the snow-capped mountains."

An Linyuan recalled what happened several years ago and fell into deep thought.

"Where are people from other places? Maybe they have encountered a big accident. Near the castle should be the most livable place for humans to live in the west of the snow mountain. The disciples of the Blue Fist School subdivided this area according to the heads of the people, and each disciple was responsible for digging three feet into the plots they divided to find clues."

Half a year later, a second large tomb was discovered 10 kilometers north of the castle, and hundreds of thousands of energy spirit stones and a second meteorite iron plate were unearthed.

A year later, a third large tomb was discovered 20 kilometers south of the castle, and millions of energy spirit stones and the third meteorite iron plate were unearthed.

The fourth Iron Iron Card was discovered in the seventh year of the trial mission.

In the big tent, when everyone spliced ​​4 meteorite iron cards together, the meteorite iron cards automatically fused into a whole piece, and the treasure trove appeared.

At this time, more than half of the first one million troops in the Western Expedition had been lost, and the remaining nearly 500,000 troops were exhausted.

"Do you apply to convene the second batch of million-dollar troops in the west to come to the west for defense replacement?"

An Linyuan asked the two guards and the nobles.

"We worked so hard and lost half of the troops. So we found the treasure-hiding place and did not agree to change defense." Everyone unanimously disagreed with convening a new army of Western Expeditions.

The natives in the castle did not take the initiative to attack. As long as the Western Expedition army did not attack the castle, the natives would all hug in the castle and refused to go to war.

"Then start digging out the treasure." An Linyuan handed over the task of digging out the treasure to the mercenary composed of disciples from the 8th genre group of the Imperial Academy.

"I have given you the right to excavate, it depends on your performance."

The 8th-genre group of Imperial Academy originally thought it would be hit by An Linyuan, but the excavation rights obtained first moved the elders for a while, and they all thought they were wrongly blamed the national teacher for being too stingy.

At this time, most of the army in the Western Expedition had turned into a large army of farming and hunting, busy with the food and grass of hundreds of thousands of troops.

All that can be freed up is mercenaries.

The guards assigned 20,000 mercenaries to the site of the Emperor's cemetery shown in the treasure map and began to excavate.

The soil and rocks on the surface are very deep. When they are dug until 100 meters deep, a layer of sand is exposed.

Due to the continuous operation for several months, hundreds of mercenaries were trapped in the sea of ​​sand and were engulfed by quicksand while struggling.

"Fastsand partition was found in the tomb of the Emperor!"

When An Linyuan heard the news from the site of the Emperor's tomb, he hurried to the scene. The two guards and commanders no longer cared about other matters and focused on supervising the excavation work at the Emperor's tomb.

"How to deal with quicksand?" An Linyuan asked everyone at the scene.

After a long time, someone came up with a solution: "You can use plank support and dig holes down. Dig a section, fix it, and block the quicksand around it."

An Linyuan and the two guard commanders agreed to this plan.

"The earth and stone on the surface are 100 meters thick, and this tomb of the Emperor is not simple. The treasures in the tomb must be extremely rich. The millions of troops in the Western Expedition have consumed huge material and financial resources, hoping to get rewards."

As the wooden boards lay down layer by layer in the quicksand, the Emperor's tomb seemed to be bottomless, and the big holes were stretching out every day. One day, the surrounding wooden board could not withstand the pressure of the quicksand and collapsed.

Dozens of mercenaries dug in the cave were engulfed by quicksand. The entire cave was completely destroyed.

"How to save the mercenaries in the collapsed hole?" An Linyuan asked.

"It's too late to save it. It's hard to clean the quicksand. The original work pit was 100 meters deep underground. Even if we could clean up the quicksand, the people buried in the quicksand would have been killed."

"Only by digging the hole again, the wooden board must be laid thick enough this time."

An Linyuan no longer cared about these trivial matters and handed them over to the two guards to deal with them.

The new quicksand pit started working, and this time the wooden board was made of barrels to ensure that it would not be buried by quicksand again.

Almost 100 meters were dug in the quicksand, and news came from the pit that it could not be dug.

"I encountered a layer of sand and stone. I encountered a large stone in the pit, so I couldn't dig it."

"This tomb of the Emperor is really difficult to deal with." said a commander.

"The more difficult it is, the more treasures there are in the tomb." Another commander responded.

"Try to dig from the surroundings and find a place to continue digging down." The new order was conveyed.

"Dig a few more holes around this pit. When a pit encounters a large stone in such a pit, the pit next to it can continue to dig down. It is impossible for all pits to encounter large stones."

Finally, the pit was winding and continued to extend downward. One day, the thick barrel shape could not withstand the pressure of the boulders and was broken by the pressure, and quicksand surged into the pit. Hundreds of mercenaries in the depths of the pit were flooded by quicksand again.

The new pit has been replaced with a place and continue to be re-excavated.

After several attempts, a pit finally penetrated the sand and stone layer and hit the iron and stone layer.

The iron and stone layer is laid with huge rocks, and the melted iron water is poured into the gap between the huge rocks, resulting in the regular iron and stone layer becoming a whole.

"It is impossible to drag out a huge rock," said a guard commander.

"Die a hole. Make a hole in the huge rock." Another guard commander came up with his idea.

The site of the Emperor's tomb was completely led by two guards, and the excavation work was in charge.
Chapter completed!
