After the group entered the stone house and sat down, a monk brought them tea. Nua Yun took the tea and smiled at the group, "The conditions here are limited. Junior Brothers, please have some tea." After the group expressed their thanks, they also took a sip of tea.
After putting down the teacup, Nua Yun looked at the others and said, "Junior Brothers, since you came here for the gophers, I won't waste your time. Actually, half a month later, when we were patrolling the mountain, we found several gophers' holes. You know how much damage the gophers can do to the crystal stone vein, so I immediately used the Rat Shooting Talismans here to attack the gophers. However, we didn't expect that the number of gophers would be so large. We used all the Rat Shooting Talismans here, but we still weren't able to kill all the gophers. Then we took a lot of Rat Shooting Talismans from the sect, and this time we saw the effect. A large number of gophers died, and there were no more gophers on the mountain. We thought that this matter was over, but we didn't expect that eight days ago, when we were patrolling the mountain, we found a large hole with a diameter of one meter. In this hole, we also found some gophers' hair. In other words, there must be a gophers' nest nearby. And in this nest, there are some powerful gophers that have already evolved. But after checking the surrounding thousand li, I still couldn't find any gophers. This made me feel very strange. At the same time, I didn't dare to look outside. Everyone should know that my main task is to protect the crystal stone mine, so I had no other choice but to ask the sect for help. Junior Brothers, I'll leave the gophers to you."
Nua Shi said, "Amitabha. Senior Brother Nua Yun, did you use the Rat Shooting Talisman on the Gophers? Even if you didn't use the Child Talisman, you should be able to use the Parent Talisman to find its hiding place, right?"
Nua Yun shook his head and said, "I'm ashamed to say this. Up until now, we've only seen the large earth mouse's hole, but we haven't seen the gophers. Since we haven't seen the gophers, we naturally can't use the rat shooting talisman."
Nua Shi was puzzled, "Did the Gophers not appear?"
Nua Yun's expression was ugly as he said, "No, they appeared, but we couldn't find them. This is what gives me a headache. The mine is too big. The Gophers seem to be able to find us, but we can't find them. In the past few days, we've found more than a dozen Gophers' holes, but we haven't seen any Gophers. This is what gives me a headache."
Na Shi's expression was somewhat dignified. He thought that this was a very simple task, but he didn't expect the Great Earth Rat to be so cunning. It was impossible for an inner disciple like Na Yun to not find the Great Earth Rat, but he couldn't find it. This could only mean that the Great Earth Rat was very cunning. Moreover, the Great Earth Rat must have its own unique path. Otherwise, it would have been eliminated by Na Yun.
Just as Nua Yun had said, the mine was too big. If the gophers found out that they were lying in ambush there, then they would run to another place. Then, it would not be easy to find him.
Most importantly, they couldn't find the Gophers' nest within a thousand miles. This was even more surprising. Could it be that the Gophers' nest was a thousand miles away? This was inconceivable.
Nua Shi thought for a moment, then he said, "Senior Brother Nua Yun, can we take a look at the Gophers' holes?"
Nua Yun nodded and said, "Alright, let's go. I'll take you there." The group didn't say anything as they stood up and followed Nua Yun outside.
Before long, they arrived at the mountainside of the mine. The mountain wasn't very high, it was only about a kilometer above sea level. With everyone's physique, climbing the mountain wasn't a problem. Therefore, it didn't take long for them to arrive at the mountainside. Then Nua Yun led the group to the east side of the mountain. Before long, a one-meter diameter hole appeared in front of them. The hole was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
Nua Yun opened his mouth and said, "This hole is only a dozen meters deep, but we've already dug up enough crystals. The Gophers seem to have eaten some crystals. This is just one hole. There are more than a dozen holes like this in the mine."
Zhao Hai and the others looked at the hole. The walls of the hole were very smooth and straight. If Zhao Hai and the others used their eyesight, they would be able to see the innermost part of the hole. There, they would be able to see crystals.
At the bottom of the hole, they could also see some grey hair. This grey hair was more than ten centimeters long and was shiny. It could be seen that this hair was grown on a well-nourished animal.
Zhao Hai stood up and looked around. Naturally, Nua Yun saw his actions. Nua Yun sighed and said, "There are no traces left in the surroundings. It's possible that the Gophers came here from underground."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Where are the Gophers' holes? Are there Gophers' holes at the foot of the mountain?"
Nua Yun nodded and said, "Yes, there are also gopher holes at the foot of the mountain, two of them. The others are halfway up the mountain. These gopher are strange, why do they have to go halfway up the mountain to dig holes?"
Zhao Hai didn't say anything. There were no traces left in the surroundings. Moreover, there were no energy fluctuations. It seems like the Gophers' innate talent was very good. They didn't leave any energy fluctuations behind.
At this time, Nua Shi and the others finished looking. However, they didn't find anything. This made their expressions turn ugly. The Gophers were very good at sneaking around. If they couldn't find the Gophers, then they wouldn't be able to follow them. Naturally, they wouldn't be able to find the Gophers' lair. This task wouldn't be easy to complete.
Nua Yun looked at everyone and said, "Junior Brothers, there's no need to be anxious. Let's go back and discuss it." The group had no other choice but to nod and follow Nua Yun back to the stone house.
After everyone sat down, Nua Yun looked at the group and sighed, "I've thought of all the methods I could think of, but I couldn't think of any good methods. Those rats seem to be able to detect us. When I'm on the mountain, they'll avoid us. But if we're not on the mountain, then they'll be even more unscrupulous. There's really no other way."
Nua Shi and the others didn't know what to do. Zhao Hai looked at Nua Yun and said, "Senior Brother Nua Yun, is there a forest nearby? Is there a place with a lot of trees? "
When Nua Yun heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "There isn't. There used to be some trees nearby. But in order to ensure the safety of the Zhao Mine, they were afraid of being ambushed. Therefore, the temple organized people to cut down the trees here. Because of this, there are no trees here, only some withered trees. There's nothing for the Gophers to hide."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "I don't have much contact with the Gophers. But I think that even if the Gophers have innate abilities, they still need to breathe when they're underground, right? Then, will there be air vents in their holes? "
Nua Yun nodded and said, "Of course. The Gophers' caves have vents. We relied on this to find the Gophers. But this time, I checked within a thousand li and didn't see any vents."
Zhao Hai looked at Nua Yun and said, "Senior Brother Nua, did you also check the withered trees? There are a lot of withered trees with empty hearts. There are even some living trees with empty hearts. And these places can become vents for the Gophers' caves. "
When Monk Yun heard this, he stared for a moment. Then his expression changed as he said, "Amitabha. I didn't think about this. I was too careless. I only paid attention to the ground and forgot about the trees. I'll go take a look immediately." Monk Yun nodded and said, "You're right.
Zhao Hai quickly said, "Senior Brother, there's no need to worry. What I said might not be right."
Nua Yun shook his head and said, "No, I was too careless. I'll go take a look. In any case, there aren't a lot of withered trees here." After he said that, Nua Yun immediately stood up and walked outside. After arriving outside, he waved his hand and a copper bowl appeared in front of him. Then the copper bowl grew bigger and Nua Yun jumped on top of it. Then the copper bowl flew away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Hai looked at Nua Yun's direction and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "What I said might not be right. Senior Brother Nua Yun is too anxious."
Nua Shi smiled and said, "This is normal. Senior Brother Nua Yun has been worried about this for a long time. He even asked for help from the sect. Naturally, he would be anxious. If we can find the Gophers this time, then Senior Brother Nua Yun would be very grateful to you."
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It would be good if we can find them. But if we can't, then wouldn't Senior Brother Nua Yun be even more disappointed? Senior Brother Nua Shi, I think we should make other preparations. "
Nua Shi smiled bitterly and said, "What can we do now? You should know about the characteristics of the gophers. If they really go underground, it would be impossible for us to find them. We can only hope that we can find their hole and use the Prime Talisman on them. This way, we can use the aura of the Prime Talisman to find the nest of the gophers and eliminate them in one fell swoop. But if we can't even find the gophers, then the Rat Shooting Talisman would be useless. If we can't find the gophers, then how can we eliminate them?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "There will always be a way." Just as he said this, a rumbling sound could be heard in the distance. It seems like people were fighting. Upon hearing this sound, Zhao Hai and the others couldn't help but stare. Then their expressions changed as they rushed towards the direction of the sound. And that direction was the direction that Nua Yun flew towards.
Everyone's speed was the fastest. It didn't take long before they saw Nua Yun standing in the sky about five li away from the mine. Below him was a cloud of dust. Everyone couldn't help but be happy.
Before long, everyone arrived below Nua Yun. At this time, Nua Yun also landed. His expression was ugly as he looked at the withered tree that he smashed.
