Lin Feng saw that the people coming and going from the cave entrance were ordinary people, most of them young adults in their twenties and thirties.
Could it be that these people wanted to capture so many people to dig holes just for the sake of energy fluctuations in the caves? Lin Feng thought to himself.
Lin Feng felt that the energy fluctuations in the cave were very weak, and even he, a level 7 cultivator, could only just detect it. If the cave was dug because of this energy fluctuation, then it means that there must be advanced cultivators on this mountain. Thinking of this, Lin Feng was secretly on guard.
When I arrived at the cave entrance, I found some tools piled on one side of the cave entrance. Lin Feng had never seen one before, but looking at these tools, they should look like electric picks.
Picking up one of the "electric picks", Lin Feng walked into the cave.
The space inside the cave is not small. There is a table placed in the empty cave, and a man in his fifties sits behind the table.
"You're new here, let me talk to you here."
The person behind the table saw Lin Feng coming in, looked at him, and said.
After hearing what the man said, Lin Feng walked over. It just so happened that he wanted to find out how the caves here were dug.
"Everyone has a hole here, and they drill in one direction. They have to drill at least ten meters every day. Otherwise, there will be no food."
Before Lin Feng could ask, the other party said a word and then ignored Lin Feng.
Looking inside, sure enough, there are thirty or forty small holes in the cave. From time to time, someone pushes a cart filled with stones and walks out of the small holes, and then pushes it out of the cave.
It turned out that one person was responsible for one piece. Seeing this, Lin Feng understood the procedure of digging a hole.
Feeling the weak energy fluctuations in the cave, Lin Feng found that the energy wave cave in the northwest seemed to be stronger. So Lin Feng didn't say anything and just walked over with the pickaxe.
After studying the electric pick in his hand, Lin Feng discovered how to use it. This is something similar to Lin Feng's wall-digging tool in his previous life, except that it stores electricity wirelessly. It can be used for nearly a day on a single charge, which is much more advanced than what he had in his previous life.
After simply mastering how to use it, Lin Feng came to the place where he felt the energy fluctuations were slightly stronger before, and dug into the rock in front of him.
At first, Lin Feng didn't know how to use the electric pick, and was splashed by broken stones. But after getting familiar with it for a while, Lin Feng mastered how to use this tool.
This tool was much more efficient than Lin Feng's previous life. In less than an hour, Lin Feng dug a small hole more than one meter deep.
After digging one meter deeper, Lin Feng felt that the energy was slightly stronger. But it was just such a trace that if Lin Feng wasn't in the cave, he wouldn't be able to feel it at all.
Next, Lin Feng focused entirely on the work of digging holes. With this energy fluctuation, Lin Feng felt that there was definitely something in the mountain. Otherwise, there would not be such energy fluctuations.
And now Lin Feng guessed that the reason why this place had to grab people to dig holes was related to this energy fluctuation. But digging holes is a dangerous thing. Taking this into consideration, people here went outside to find people to dig holes. When the secrets in the mountain are discovered, it will be the time for these people to die. With such tight layers of guards outside, it would never be that easy for ordinary people here to escape.
But Lin Feng didn't know what secrets there were in this mountain, and could only find the answer as he continued to advance.
After cartloads of gravel were transported out, the small hole dug by Lin Feng gradually became deeper.
After digging three to four meters deep, Lin Feng poured energy into the electric pick in his hand. With the blessing of energy, Lin Feng's digging speed suddenly increased greatly. However, Lin Feng still carefully controlled the energy on the electric pickaxe to avoid being discovered by the level 3 cultivator known as Liu Ye outside.
As for the gravel produced by digging the hole, Lin Feng received them in a corner of the supermarket. To the outside world, the speed of transporting out a load of gravel is still maintained in about an hour. This way, you won't draw attention to yourself.
As Lin Feng continued to advance, he felt the energy fluctuations getting stronger and stronger. Lin Feng, on the other hand, is getting more and more excited. Exploring unknown secrets can always arouse people's expectations.
Lin Feng didn't know how long he had been digging when he suddenly heard a ringing sound. It was probably time to eat, so Lin Feng reluctantly picked up the pickaxe in his hand and walked out of the cave. If you don't go out at this time, it will probably arouse suspicion among people outside the cave.
Sure enough, after hearing the bell, other diggers also walked out of their small holes, and more than thirty people gathered outside the cave.
Lin Feng looked around and found that they were all young adults in their twenties and thirties. And none of them were in good spirits. They were obviously very tired after digging holes all day.
Dinner was served at the entrance of the cave. Each person was given a small piece of cake and a so-called soup that seemed to be no different from water. Although this kind of food will not starve people to death, it is impossible to eat enough.
Since there was no doomsday watch showing the time, Lin Feng estimated that it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening. After a day of digging, Lin Feng's small hole had been dug to a depth of nearly forty meters. However, in order to cover up his small hole, Lin Feng had blocked the entrance of the hole with a big stone ten meters away. In this way, when others came to see it, they would only find that the small hole dug by Lin Feng was only ten meters deep.
After eating, everyone was led out of the cave by the previous mouse and walked towards a simple wooden house at the back.
Entering the supplies, Lin Feng found that it was a room composed of several bungalows. There was nothing inside except a few long, wide wooden boards. A thin layer of straw mats was spread on the wooden planks, which was obviously where everyone slept.
Lin Feng didn't care about such an environment. But the smell here is really unpleasant. The stench of everyone's sweat after a day's work permeated the cabin, making it nauseating.
However, the curiosity about the energy fluctuations in the cave still made Lin Feng stay here. Fortunately, after a day of hard work, no one had the energy to fight for a place, so they just found a place to lie down.
Lin Feng found a place near the door. Because it was cold at night, no one wanted to be here, but it didn't matter to Lin Feng.
After a while, bursts of snoring sounded in the wooden house. Everyone was tired after a long day and soon fell asleep. Lin Feng tossed and turned, still thinking about the energy fluctuations in the cave.
At this time, Lin Feng heard voices outside, so he stood up and walked outside.
