The miners in the gold mine started working as usual. The soldiers and sergeants in the camp were supervising them and watching them transport baskets of things out of the mine. However, the bamboo baskets were no longer filled with food.
Then there is the ore containing gold, but there are piles of dead bones.
Deep in the mine, some bold soldiers are still patrolling here. It is not that they are brave, but that if they do not come down, they will be executed for disobeying military orders. What's more, their highest officer here, Governor Shank, has also come down personally.
Here, he has gone down to the deepest place, next to these mountains of bones and seas of bones, but now he is still living well in his 'little palace' made of gold, enjoying Wenxiang nephrite and those beautiful foods.
However, just because Warlord Shank is not dead does not mean that death will not continue here. People will still die here every day, and the circumstances of their deaths are still so bizarre, so disgusting and terrifying.
Several soldiers gathered together, each one smoking a cigarette, watching the bones being dug away one by one, and said, "It's really scary. With so many bones, there must be many evil spirits wandering here."
"Hey, hey, stop talking." The other two soldiers were trembling with fear and kept praying.
The smoking soldier blew out a smoke ring and mocked: "Prayers are useless. If God could really help you, there wouldn't be so many people dying in accidents in this world. You see, you were still with us last night."
The fat man who ate had also been praying for half the night, but this morning he was still dead."
"Can't the captain say something to comfort us?"
"Comfort?" The soldier smoked a cigarette and smiled disdainfully: "Comfort is only for the weak. I, Nilu Lieutenant, do not need comfort, and I will not comfort others."
The squad leader named Nilu Wei said to another soldier: "Brother, what, are you trembling with fear? Are you worried that death will fall on you at any time?"
Although this shorter soldier was really scared, he was still a soldier after all. When his superior said this, he immediately raised his chest and said bravely: "Who... who said that it's too cold here and I'm afraid of the cold."
"Really?" Nilu Wei smiled, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to him: "Smoke a cigarette, you won't be so cold after one puff."
At this time, the soldiers in the tunnel next to him hurriedly ran over: "Captain, captain!"
Nilu Wei immediately changed his leisurely expression: "What are you so worried about?"
"Looking for...looking for..." the soldier took a breath and said, "I found it, I found it."
"What did you find? Please tell me clearly." the short soldier asked.
The soldier said: "Captain, we found it, we found the cause of death."
"What did you say!" Nilu Wei and everyone were shocked.
The soldier said: "When the miners were digging along the bone wall just now, they dug out strange ores. Those stones would glow. At first we thought they were gems. When we were about to pick them up, we found that the miner who dug out the stones suddenly died suddenly.
, just like when others die.”
"How do you know it was caused by that stone? Maybe it's just a coincidence."
The soldier said: "Several miners have died. They were all people who wanted to dig those ores."
"Oh! Let's go and have a look." Nilu Wei took the lead and headed towards the mine under the jurisdiction of this soldier.
Where the strange stone was found, a lot of people had gathered around it. The miners stopped working, and the Groms hid aside in fear. The soldiers looked into the depths of the hole, but no one dared to go in.
"The captain is coming, the captain is coming." With shouts, the soldiers and miners moved out of the way.
"Is it really that scary?" Nilu Wei looked into the depths of the cave and saw a faint blue light coming from a side hole in the left wall of the mine. There was also a soldier's body lying upside down outside the cave.
Corpse.
"Seven people died, and three more died just when you left. Two of them were our brothers."
Nilu Wei frowned: "Get out of the way and let me pass."
"Captain, don't do it, you will die." The soldier said in horror.
"Really? Humph, I have experienced hundreds of battles. How can a stone kill me?" Nilu Wei pushed the soldier in front of him away and walked into the cave: "So many of our brothers died.
, I want to see what it is before I do it, no matter what it is!"
Directly opposite the main cave is the bone wall, and next to the bone wall is the side cave. Originally, they wanted to dig along the bone wall to see how long and big the bone wall was.
Niru Wei walked to the side cave entrance and looked in along the corpses of the soldiers at his feet. Sure enough, seven corpses lay scattered on the ground. Looking further in, he saw the glowing fatal corpse that the soldiers said
Ore, a kind of ice crystal like light blue crystal, is embedded in the rock formations of the cave wall.
It is impossible to say that Nilu Wei is not afraid at all. The facts are right in front of him. So many people have died, so he will be a little scared. But he is more angry in his heart. A single stone has made the entire mining area restless.
Even thinking about it makes me angry.
Walking around the corpses on the ground and coming to the ores, Nilu Wei stretched out his hand and pulled off a piece: "Is this it?" He stared at the ore in his hand for a long time, but nothing happened.
Still alive and well.
"It doesn't seem like anything." He pulled out two more pieces and held them in his hands. At this time, he found that these luminous crystal blocks were perfect, or very clean, which was very wrong. Because ordinary ores are dug from rock formations.
When it comes out, there will always be something else attached to it, but this is not the case with these crystal blocks. They don't have any other impurities on them.
Nilu Wei looked into the small holes where these crystal blocks were pulled out. There were no traces of such crystal blocks in these small holes. He thought for a while and thought to himself: "Is this not an ore, but something like
Are those bones buried here on purpose?"
Thinking of this, Nilu Wei tore off the clothes of a miner on the ground, wrapped the crystal block, and left the side cave.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing that the captain came back safely, the soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief: "Captain, what is that in your hand?"
"The ore you are talking about."
"What!" Everyone was so frightened that they quickly ran away.
Nilu Wei glanced at them and said: "What are you afraid of? I'm fine, am I not? I have taken out the ore in the cave. You continue to work, and I will report this matter to the governor."
"It's captain."
Watching Nilu Wei leave, the soldiers all showed admiration in their eyes.
Arriving at the governor's golden palace, Shank dismissed his concubine and asked, "Nilu Wei, what's the matter? I know you won't come to my palace without something important."
"Overseer." Nilu Wei said: "There is indeed something important. This was discovered in the mine. It may be related to the recent continuous deaths."
"What is it?" Shank got out of bed and walked over.
Nilu Wei opened his clothes and said, "Look, these are the crystal blocks." He told Shank the general process of the matter.
"Is it ore?" Shank picked up a piece and looked at it.
"I don't think so." Nilu Wei said: "This seems to have been artificially buried in the ground. I think there may be others along the bone wall."
Shank nodded, threw down the crystal block and said: "Why are you doing such a dangerous thing yourself? I have told you before that you are the person I trust most. There is no need to go into the mine. If anything happens, I will
It will be very sad.”
Nilu Wei said: "I am also a soldier under your command. The other team captains have gone down, but I won't go down. This is not good."
Shank said: "With your ability, you are far more than just a squad leader. Even like Brocken and Saxon, you are more than enough to be my deputy."
"I know that the military governor has always been very strict in running the army. If you want to be promoted, you must rely on your performance and merit. No one is exempt."
Shank sighed: "I've wronged you."
Nilu Wei said: "You are kind to me, let alone let me be a squad leader, even if you are an ordinary soldier, I have no complaints."
Shank smiled: "I helped you back then, and you have been following me loyally. With you by my side, I feel relieved. However, you should not go down the mine again before the danger is eliminated. This matter
I will handle the matter personally."
"What are you going to do?"
Shank said: "Of course we have to figure out what these are first. When Brocken came back, I heard him say that the king invited geological experts from neighboring countries to test the situation of Tubat volcano. I want to invite them over. They
