Li Du just guessed casually, but he didn't expect that he might have guessed correctly.

There may be a snake nest around the mine cave. Mim told him that when they were digging the mine cave, they found a poisonous snake after digging a distance. Because they were not careful, a miner was bitten by a poisonous snake.

"Fortunately, we rescued us in time and serum was prepared in the mine, otherwise the situation would be very bad." Mim said, "Continue digging later, and we encountered more and more snakes..."

After discovering a large number of snakes, the miners became resistant to the mine and did not want to continue digging. They all had families, wives and children, and were worried about accidents.

No trace of the gem veins was found in this mine, so Mim also decided to backfilling the mine cave and not digging it. So the mine cave became what Li Du and the others saw, and only dug half of it and stopped working.

After the introduction, Mim asked carefully: "This kind of thing is very common in all mines. I'm not cheating you, right? I didn't maliciously conceal negative information, right?"

Li Du cleaned up Brache and they took it as a warning. Mim believed that he did not have Brache's energy and could not beat Li Du, so he did not dare to provoke him.

Hearing the fear in his words, Li Du laughed: "Oh, of course this doesn't count. I just asked you to find out the situation at that time. Now we have encountered many snakes and poisonous snakes."

Mim persuaded, "Listen to me, man, let's forget about this mine, it's normal to have one or two snakes. So many snakes? Obviously, there is a snake nest."

There are a large number of underground snake nests in Australia. If you dig a hole and find multiple snakes or find snake paths, people often think of snake nests and then give up and continue digging.

Li Du couldn't give up. This mine cave was a vein leading to a black opal, which contained at least several million gems.

He had to thank these venomers, who were blocking Mim and the miners, otherwise they could have discovered the gem veins.

It is not difficult to drive away the snake group. Just sprinkle strong snake-removing powder. If you really don’t have luggage, you can use cement to seal the mine hole and see where these snakes emerge.

He was a little confused. When he checked the mine before, he didn't see a snake. Why did the group of snakes appear as soon as it was dug?

Controlling the little flying insects back into the mine, he carefully checked the surrounding situation, and then gradually made a guess.

The group of snakes do not live in or near mines, so he did not see them when he used the flying insects to check them before. These snakes appeared after digging the mine.

After they appear, try to gather at the end of the mine, as if something is attracting them.

All Li Du could think of was that the black opal was attracting them. These snakes might have wanted to get close before, but the mine was blocked, and there were solid rock formations near the mine veins, and there were no holes and gaps to get them close.

There are holes and gaps around the mine cave. After digging and backfilling the ore, they may go back to the mine along the gap.

If his guess is true, it is that as some miners say, snakes have a relationship with the black opal vein.

But this point is unrealistic. This speculation has long been around. People have conducted experiments and have not discovered the connection between snakes and black opals. In other words, they have not found that snakes are interested in black opals.

With a confused look, Li Du had to continue working.

Brother Wolf went to the town to buy two large buckets of snake-driving powder. He first sprinkled some around the cabin of the house, then put on glasses and masks, and entered the mine and sprinkled some.

If possible, Li Du doesn't want to use this thing, the snake-repelling powder is strongly irritating. Ah Miao, Ah Ah, noodle and Ali don't like this thing.

Snake-removing powder is very effective. As this thing is sprinkled in, the group of snakes in the mine begins to evacuate and squirm away along the gaps around the mine.

They used snake-removing powder twice to disperse all the snakes in the mine so that Li Du and the others could continue to work.

Working is even more difficult now. The mine cave is covered with dust, so they cannot use exhaust fans, otherwise the snake powder will fly around and will be covered in their bodies.

Originally, the mine was humid and stuffy, and it was a torture to stay underneath when you couldn't use an exhaust fan.

Fortunately, Brother Wolf and Godzilla are both hard-working people, and they are also obedient. They have no complaints and continue to do it while wearing masks.

When the mine is dug, the next step is to go deeper. This time, you have to use crushers and other tools.

Because of adding snake-removing powder, digging this mine is more difficult than opening a new mine at Mine No. 115, mainly because people suffer from it.

This is why miners give up when they find a group of snakes in the mine. Using snake-removing powder can certainly drive away the group of snakes, but it is too tormenting.

Because Li Du had a definite goal, he could endure these tortures. If he didn't know if there were gems ahead, he wouldn't be able to hold on.

The sharp edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.

What the ancestors left behind really made sense. After some torture, they finally entered the mining area and dug out the ore containing the black opal.

Li Du gave Godzilla and Wolf Brother bonuses, and each gave him 100,000 yuan.

After getting the money, the two of them didn't feel disgusted with suffering. It started raining in late May, and they still had to continue working.

Among the few subordinates, Li Du liked the two of them the most. They both have a personality of "Word as a national hero, I will repay him with a national hero."

Li Du gave them money, but would not fatten their appetite, but would only win their gratitude and love. The two would work harder to repay him.

However, the autumn rain continued, and for safety, Li Du still suspended mining work.

Brother Wolf put forward his opinion: "There are gaps between the underground ore, and the rainwater will flow in. In this way, the snake powder will be washed away by the rainwater soon, and the snake group will come back then."

Li Du shook his head and said, "When the weather gets better, we sprinkle snake-driving powder again and we must not continue to do it anymore. Brother, you also see that water seeps into the mine, so the mine is dangerous."

Although the geology around Lightning Ridge is relatively good, mostly solid rock formations, and it is not easy to collapse mine caves, but this is just not easy to happen, not not impossible.

The autumn rain fell for two consecutive days, and the next night suddenly turned into a heavy rain.

On the morning of the third day, Li Du went to catch crayfish in the rain and came back to make a big pot of spicy crayfish with beer to prepare for a refreshing meal.

Just as the crayfish were out of the pot, the pot suddenly trembled, and then a muffled sound came in: "Boom!"

Ah Miao, who was lying on the ground, jumped up at the same time and looked at the West with a panic look.

Li Du subconsciously joked: "This thunder is so loud, the pot is so shocked that it jumped up. I thought it was the crayfish that was alive."

Brother Wolf said with a serious expression: "No, boss, a mine has collapsed!"
