Chapter 178 The City Lord Conspires to Lay a Trap
"Members of Liesha Treasure Hunting Team, today is an important day, our treasure hunting team is going out of the city to mine.
If you dig ore and send it to Dahuang Supermarket to sell, you can earn the first amount of money that meets the size of the treasure hunting team since the formation of the treasure hunting team.
At that time, everyone's bags can be filled, and I hope that everyone will unite and work hard, and unite into a whole like the previous gladiatorial groups. "
Meng Tiansha came down from upstairs, carrying a package as big as a person, and spoke loudly.
After speaking, he pushed open the door of the building and walked to the street first.
Qing Youcai greeted everyone immediately: "All follow, the carriage is outside the city, keep up, don't fall behind."
Zheng Qiu walked among the crowd, looking back and forth at the team.
Coming out like this is similar to the previous duel competitions, but this time everyone has a smile on their faces, and their eyes are shining with excitement and desire.
They quickly came to the city wall. Compared with the tall city wall, the gate of the Great Desolation and Lonely City was pitifully small. The gate was only one foot wide and less than half a foot high. It was narrow and short.
The size is just enough to accommodate a carriage, and it is difficult for people and carriages to walk side by side.
It is said that this is for the convenience of the commander to guard and control the entry and exit of personnel.
When passing through the city gate, Zheng Qiu looked up at the top of the city gate. There was a huge gate half a foot or two feet thick hanging from the top. The gate was still made of iron. break through.
The person who guards the city gate checks everyone's identity and releases them only after confirming that they are correct.
This is the first time for Zheng Qiu to walk out of the deserted and lonely city. When he raised his eyes, everything in his sight was wilderness, not a single blade of grass grew.
On the wilderness beside the city, there are countless simple sheds, large or small, which are temporary residences for practitioners outside the wilderness.
In the distance, bare rocky peaks stand one after another, lifeless, and the wind mixed with yellow sand blows, making people unable to open their eyes.
Outside the city gate, there was a long line of carriages with empty carriages, which could not be seen from a distance. A dozen or so coachmen ran around to appease the restless horses.
Seeing so many carriages, Zheng Qiu couldn't help being speechless: "That's too many!"
Meng Tiansha called a few grooms, ordered them to set off, and then told everyone to disperse to every position in the convoy so that they could take care of the carriage.
Creaking and creaking, the horses, driven by the grooms, pulled the wooden cart forward.
Zheng Qiu sat in the cart, watching the tall city walls gradually shrink and recede, and the sheds on both sides kept moving back.
Occasionally, some practitioners came out of the shed and raised their necks to look in the direction of the convoy. After seeing the empty truck body, they hid in the shed again and started their own business.
In the study of the city lord's palace, Lin Zou hurried in and reported the situation to Lin Minghao.
"City Master, the Liesha Treasure Hunting Team has left the city, and Zheng Qiu is also inside."
Lin Minghao put down the book in hand and asked, "How long has the treasure hunting team been away?"
"Less than half an hour before I came here, they walked out of the temporary living area outside the city."
"Is there any change in Ming Zong?"
Lin Zou replied without hesitation: "No, Ming Zong is still the same as usual, but he should know that the treasure hunting team is going out of the city."
Lin Minghao knocked on the table and thought for a moment, then said: "It's too early to lead Ming Zong out now,
When the Liesha team arrived at the location of the Red Grape Mine, they led Ming Zong out. "
He stood up, took a large roll of paper from the bookshelf, and spread it on the table. It was a topographic map of hundreds of peaks around the Great Desolation and Lonely City.
Looking at the topographic map, he asked Lin Zou: "Where is the Red Grape Mine that the Liesha team is going to?"
Lin Zou walked to the table, stretched out his finger and pointed: "Here."
Looking at the location that Lin Zou had clicked, Lin Minghao folded his hands and rested his chin in thought.
He murmured: "This location... With Ming Zong's cautious temper, he will definitely inquire about the direction of the Liesha team, and the general direction will not go wrong, so we have to lead to the southeast, um..."
Lin Zou raised his finger again and clicked on the terrain map: "City Master, we can intercept this place halfway."
Lin Minghao shook his head and vetoed this suggestion: "No, Ming Zong is a god after all, even if I do it myself, it's impossible for him to be unable to make every move.
Fighting will definitely destroy the scenery here, leaving a lot of fighting traces, which will be discovered by Liesha team who returned the same way. "
He leaned against the table and carefully studied the trend of mountains and rivers on the topographic map. After a while, he drew circles with his fingers.
"This location is good, a low-lying quicksand land, just in the southeast direction."
Lin Zou looked over his head and couldn't help praising: "It really is a good place, the quicksand can easily erase the traces of fighting, and it doesn't coincide with the direction of the Liesha team.
There is also a Duantou Canyon next to it, even if Ming Zong ran into it, he would be caught in a urn. "
But soon Lin Zou showed embarrassment: "Master, Ming is not stupid, I'm afraid he won't go into this quicksand easily."
"Just lead Ming Zong to the quicksand area, and I'll let Granny Tang arrange the traps behind."
Zheng Qiu sat in the cart, admiring the surrounding scenery, time passed slowly, and it had been half a day since the treasure hunting team left the deserted city.
The curiosity at the beginning gradually faded away, and similar rocky mountains and sandy fields reappeared, making people drowsy.
He sat upright with his legs crossed, ready to exercise his energy to strengthen his strength. This kind of boring time is best passed by practicing.
Before he could calm down and reflect on himself, the sound of the wheels creaking and turning disappeared, and the carriage stopped.
There is a situation!
He hurriedly stood up and looked forward on tiptoe. The convoy would not stop for no reason, there must be a problem ahead.
Several team members from behind caught up and greeted Zheng Qiu: "Don't stay here, let's go up and have a look together."
Hearing this, Zheng Qiu jumped out of the carriage and followed everyone forward.
At the front of the convoy, the team members formed a human wall, chattering like they were talking about something.
Zheng Qiu squeezed to the inside and found that Meng Tiansha was pulling a carriage back, and Qing Youcai squatted beside him, poking the sandy ground with a long sword.
"What's the matter?" He turned his head and asked the team members beside him.
The team member replied: "The rock under the road seems to have collapsed, turning this place into quicksand. The old man Qing is trying to see how big the quicksand is."
Qing Youcai probed inch by inch, the long sword completely sank into the ground with each stroke, until the tip of the sword hit the stone foundation under the yellow sand until it was two feet away.
"The stone foundation below has collapsed by two feet, and its width is four feet. The carriage has to go around."
As Qing Youcai said, he looked around, then pointed to the small rock hill by the side of the road and said, "Use all your abilities to shovel this rock hill, and then bypass the quicksand pit after smoothing it out."
If you have money, you will be very excited, and there will be some entertainment on the boring road.
"How about we compete to see who can shovel rocks faster?"
"Okay, here's the lottery, the loser has to give money to the winner."
"They all came out to mine, and some of them brought money."
"Then sing, and the loser sings."
"Hahaha, that's good, I've wanted to hear your voices for a long time."
