In the west direction of the Wang Estuary, dozens of holes had appeared on the mountain wall. Each hole was four meters high and four meters wide.
From Jiangbei to the Wang Estuary, they had to go around the eastern side. Therefore, few people could discover the cave entrance on the west side.
At this time, the hole that was originally dozens of meters above the ground was basically filled up, but there were still soldiers pouring soil out of the hole.
Inside these caves, there was a thick tree trunk every dozen meters as a support. After walking for a few hundred meters, what appeared in front of them was a huge space lit up by torches. It was tens of meters tall and had a circumference of several hundred meters. Towering stone pillars stood in the space. If one looked closely, they would see tiny holes on the pillars. Countless tiny insects crawled up and down the pillars, making light but concentrated sounds.
If someone with trypophobia saw this scene, they would probably have a heart attack.
In this space, there were countless wooden racks, soldiers coming and going, as well as many strange creatures that were six to seven meters long, covered in plate armor and hard shells. They had mouse-like heads and long tails.
Some of them surrounded the pillar and licked it from time to time, swallowing a large number of bugs on the pillar into their stomachs. Some of them were digging at the edge of the space or on the shelves. Whether it was soil or rocks, they were like tofu under their sharp claws.
In the middle of the space, there was a wooden platform next to the thickest pillar. An old man dressed in embroidered robes sat cross-legged on it, watching everything. Beside him sat a man wearing a bird feather cape and a feathered crown.
"Mister Qiu, it should be about time, right?" The old man in embroidered robe calculated the space of the cave and asked the man with the feathered crown beside him.
"It's almost time." The feathered crowned man called Mister Qiu let out a few strange sounds, and the dozen or so people in the cave who were dressed like him shouted at the same time, and they all struck the gongs in their hands.
Following the sound of the whip, the digging exotic beasts stopped and gathered near the stone pillars, licking the worms on them.
"This world is truly amazing." The man in embroidered robes sighed as he looked at the strange beasts and the huge stone pillars in the cave.
This strange beast was called Chou Yu. It was good at digging holes and was one of the beast soldiers of the Six Doors. On the other hand, the worms could eat soil and pull out stones to form such a stone pillar. The combination of these two could produce miraculous results.
However, this Chou Yu fed on these worms.
Therefore, he found it very amazing.
Hearing the admiration of the man in embroidered robes, Mister Qiu smiled contentedly.
It was indeed worthy of him to be praised by a Spirit Wheel expert. For hundreds of years, the Chou family had trained Chou Yu in the Six Doors. It could be said that Chou Yu was a part of his family. When others praised Chou Yu, they naturally praised him as well.
"When the time comes to break the pillars, we'll start from the six pillars in the north, from east to west, right?" The man in embroidered robes asked again.
"That's right. As long as we cut off the twelve pillars in the north according to this order, the north side of the cave will gradually collapse. At the same time, the cliffs above will collapse and cut off their escape route. After that, the entire cave will collapse. Even a portion of the mountain peak at the top will collapse. Naturally, those people will not be able to escape, "Mister Chou said.
"This Heavenly Zhong Pillar is the most important. It doesn't matter if the northern pillar is broken, but we must wait for everyone to leave before letting the death warriors break the Heavenly Zhong Pillar. Otherwise, all of you will be buried here. "
"Understood." The man in embroidered robes remembered all of Mister Qiu's words. After all, it was a matter of life and death, so he couldn't be careless.
Looking up, he saw that at the top of the pillar in the middle, countless insects were climbing up to the top of the cave, piling up stones to form a "stone net", connecting all the pillars together. At the same time, it was also strengthening the cave.
"My task is completed. We should go back." After Mister Qiu finished speaking, he stood up from the wooden platform and shouted a few times to the surrounding people.
His clansmen immediately opened the boxes one by one and rang the bells with their hands.
The insects on the stone pillars climbed down from the stone pillars and burrowed into the boxes.
However, they only drilled half of the way in before the boxes were full.
These days, the number of worms multiplied more than double.
The Chou Yu took this opportunity to eat heartily. Their long tongues rolled on the ground and a black worm entered their mouths.
…
At this moment, halfway up the mountain, not only were the empress, Ren Baqian, and Li Fu present, but even Xi Wanya, Zong Shen, Qing Ping, Gong Zheng, Qingyun Sword, Zuo Cheng, and a group of winged cavalry warriors and experts from the Rearguard Commandery were all gathered there.
No one wanted to miss the most powerful expert in the world making a move.
Li Fu sternly said, "I was born as a blacksmith and am not good at fighting. However, I have something to say. "
Everyone listened attentively when they heard what he said. Even the empress wouldn't ignore the advice of the most powerful expert in the world.
"Everything in the world has a spirit. Humans have a spirit, swords have a spirit, sabers have a spirit, mountains, and trees have a spirit. Since there is a spirit, there is life and death. Just like how humans have vital points like the heart and head, everything in the world also has a vital point. Once you find this vital point, you can kill it. I call it a dead point.
Everyone knows the vital points of humans and animals, but it's difficult for ordinary people to find the dead points of other things.
As I said before, mountains, rivers, and trees all have a spirit. This mountain has a spirit, so it naturally has a dead point. "
Li Fu's aura rose slightly when he said this. Although it wasn't much better than before, it made people feel like he was different.
His body seemed to have grown taller. The aura of an expert was also emitted from his body.
If he was just an ordinary old man before, everyone could now feel that the person in front of them was the most powerful expert in the world.
"As long as you find the dead point, you can cause more damage. You don't even need to spend too much effort to kill it." After Li Fu finished speaking, the crow's leg on the short rod in his hand struck the ground at lightning speed.
With this strike, everyone became alert and heard a dull rumbling sound coming from the belly of the mountain.
Everyone felt their feet begin to shake, and huge cracks began to appear on the ground!
Everyone was shocked. He was indeed the most powerful expert in the world. This strike could actually shake a mountain with a radius of several kilometers. This was simply not something that a human could do.
Everyone looked at Li Fu with admiration.
At this moment, the ground shook even more violently, and everyone even felt as if they were sinking.
