Chapter 140: Catching the grass to startle the snake

After Shi Hao revealed his identity, he started walking around.

Because the spirit stone is of great importance, anyone entering or leaving the mining area needs to be strictly searched to ensure that no one leaves with the spirit stone, and Shi Hao is no exception.

After hundreds of years of excavation, this mining area has already become riddled with holes. If you can dig the whole area out of the ground, you will find it looks like a hornet's nest.

He was walking in the mine tunnel and rubbed his hand on the wall of the cave. This place was excavated hundreds of years ago and is full of history.

After walking for a long time, the digging marks gradually became new. After walking for a while, you could see a miner swaying sweat, waving a **** and a hoe.

Shi Hao's passing did not disturb them in the slightest. These people were extremely numb, as if they had lost their souls.

However, these people do not deserve sympathy.

The people here are all repeat offenders sent by the three major countries, and all of them have committed heinous crimes.

Maybe some people here have been wronged, but they are definitely a minority.

Shi Hao came to the end, but he didn't find anything. He took another fork in the road, but he still didn't find anything.

Before and after, several waves of people have come to investigate, so it is basically impossible for a miner to quietly bring out the spirit stone.

——It is possible to bring one or two pieces, but to the extent that the Baiyun Sect can offer a bounty of 100 spiritual stones, that is definitely an astonishing amount.

According to Shi Hao's guess, there are two possibilities.

First, some people are digging from other places and stealing mines.

However, the decrease in the output of spirit stones in the mining area is not because the number of mined stones is less, but suddenly there is a lot less in the process from digging out to transporting out. So, if this is stolen ore, it means that there is a secret channel connecting, from other Exit to leave.

Shi Hao was looking for such a secret passage, but the mining area is so large, as long as the entrance of the secret passage is covered up, it is extremely difficult to find.

Second, someone has a space spiritual tool.

It's easy to do with a space spirit tool, you can bring out a lot of spirit stones at one time, and you're not afraid of being discovered.

Which possibility is it?

Shi Hao first looked for possible dark passages in the mine. When the day was over, he returned to the entrance of the mine and searched the miners with the supervisors.

His focus is to find out whether there is a space spiritual tool.

Unfortunately, no one owns it.

Then, there is only one possibility left.

——There are secret passages in the mining area.

But as I said before, the mine tunnels are as complicated as a hornet's nest. If they are strung together, it may take hundreds or even thousands of miles. So, how difficult is it to find the secret tunnels?

Moreover, even if the oil lamp is lit in the mine, the brightness is only barely visible, but it is another matter to see clearly.

The point is, the secret path is only Shi Hao's guess, what if there is no such thing?

After two days of searching, Shi Hao decided to change his mind.

He was looking outside.

If it is robbery, there must be an exit outside.

Shi Hao began to look for it again. This nameless mountain is very large, some places are bare, and some places are overgrown with trees, and the terrain is very complicated.

"Who is it, stop!" When Shi Hao was walking, he was suddenly stopped by someone.

In the distance, there is a camp with the banner of the White Cloud Sect.

This was set up by the White Cloud Sect to guard it, so that no one would dig holes nearby and steal ore.

Obviously, Shi Hao is not the only one who can think of stealing.

There is more than one camp like this, and people are sent to patrol the mountains every day, so it is basically impossible to steal mining.

Shi Hao took out his identity token and said, "I am a disciple of the White Cloud Sect."

The two guards immediately stunned, and hurriedly greeted them. After carefully checking the identity token, they suddenly became respectful and saluted, "I have seen your lord!"

Shi Hao nodded. He put away his identity token and said, "I'm here to investigate the theft of the spirit stone. Did you find anything unusual?"

"No!" Both of them shook their heads.

Shi Hao moved in his heart and said, "I'm going to see your camp."

"This—" The two were hesitant, and one of them immediately said, "Rong Xiao go and report to Master Chu."

"Master Chu?" Shi Hao's eyes tightened.

"Mr. Chu Lingkong, Chu, is the person in charge here." The two explained.

"Okay, let's go." Shi Hao nodded.

One went to report, the other accompanied Shi Hao, and he didn't know whether he was afraid of Shi Hao's boredom, or to monitor him and prevent him from running around.

But after a while, I saw a middle-aged man striding over, with a slender figure and a dignified air of his own.

"I'm Chu Lingkong." The man nodded towards Shi Hao, "You want to enter the camp?"

"good."

"Why?" Chu Lingkong didn't say yes or no, but instead asked, "This is not a mining area, and it has nothing to do with your investigation."

Shi Hao smiled: "It doesn't matter, I will decide for myself."

Chu Lingkong showed a stern look: "Don't tell me, are you suspecting that I am guarding myself and stealing?"

"If you don't have a ghost in your heart, it's okay for me to check, right?" Shi Hao said lightly.

"Whether there are ghosts or not, will you let anyone come into your house for a walk?" Chu Lingkong immediately retorted.

"Okay, then I'll go back and report that you are obstructing my investigation." Shi Hao said casually, then turned around.

"Slow!" Chu Lingkong changed his mind instead, "Since you have to investigate it, come in~www.wuxiaspot.com~."

Shi Hao put his hands behind his back and walked towards the camp.

Chu Lingkong accompanied him, but did not speak.

Shi Hao turned around in the camp, but he seemed to be just casually watching.

Finally, they came to a huge tent.

"This is a warehouse that stores food and drinking water for everyone in the camp." Chu Lingkong made an introduction.

Shi Hao nodded and was about to lift the curtain and enter.

"There's nothing to see." Chu Lingkong stopped him.

"It's okay to have a look." Shi Hao insisted.

"Okay." Chu Lingkong withdrew his hand.

It's very big inside, but most of the places are full, and it looks very messy.

Shi Hao glanced over, then walked over and carried the box.

One, two, three, and soon, Shi Hao removed a third of the box.

"It's almost there." When Shi Hao wanted to continue, Chu Lingkong reached out and stopped him.

Shi Hao glanced at him and said, "Okay."

He turned and walked out.

Chu Lingkong saw him off, and when Shi Hao left, he sneered.

Shi Hao didn't go away, but hid nearby, lying on a big rock, watching the sunset appear in the sky, then it turned dark, and then the bright moon rose and the stars were shining.

He didn't know if there was a problem with Chu Lingkong. Before, he deliberately stunned the snake. If there was a ghost in Chu Lingkong, there would definitely be some action.

So, he is here to monitor.

In the middle of the night, a figure quietly left the camp.

Sure enough!

A sneer appeared at the corner of Shi Hao's mouth.
