Ling Feng had already figured out what these guys were thinking, especially the thoughts of the young master Liu in front.
Therefore, he wasn't surprised by the man's decision at all.
He walked forward without a word!
Seeing this, Zhou Jin's eyes widened slightly, but then without any hesitation, he followed Ling Feng forward!
As long as Ling Feng was there, Zhou Jin had nothing to fear!
Young Master Liu, seeing this scene, frowned slightly.
This person was very brave!
Was it recklessness?
Or was it the so-called courage born of skill?
From the current perspective, the latter seemed more likely.
This naturally made Young Master Liu feel a little uneasy. If Ling Feng was truly a professional, wouldn't he find the things inside faster than them?
Thinking of this, Young Master Liu said in a deep voice to the sword cultivator beside him, "Keep a close eye!"
The sword cultivator was stunned for a moment, then nodded, his expression chilling as he followed behind the group!
The people around also rushed forward to follow.
Of course, Young Master Liu was now surrounded in the middle. Someone was clearing the way in front, and someone had to cover the rear!
Only those in the middle could truly feel what it was like to be safe.
Young Master Liu and the Master Hu beside him were clearly the most distinguished among these people, which was why they were being protected in the very center. Even if something happened, others would die first!
But the people around were clearly not that terrified, although they were more vigilant!
How many times had they gone out without some casualties?
It might not be their turn to die, and if they died, so be it. But if they survived and got out, it would be luxury hotels and beautiful models, much better than working in the mines!
This was the so-called people die for wealth, birds die for food!
"Tian Zun, ahead..."
"No need to ask, just follow!"
Zhou Jin was interrupted by Ling Feng's words just as he was about to speak!
Indeed, the space ahead seemed to be gradually expanding, but the ground had a soft feeling, making the sensation of stepping on it very strange.
It didn't feel like a pile of fallen leaves, but rather like stepping on something...
Like the touch of human flesh!
"Tai Sui, Young Master Liu, it's Tai Sui!"
Suddenly, the sword cultivator's voice came from behind.
Hearing this, Young Master Liu quickly leaned forward.
Zhou Jin also turned his head, and saw the sword cultivator behind him squatting on the ground, quickly digging with one hand. It was clear that he had found something.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that beneath the fallen leaves on the ground, there were lumps like fleshy balls.
Tai Sui is a type of fungus.
It has miraculous effects.
Its medicinal value is very high, and of course, its monetary value is also considerable.
The appearance of so much Tai Sui here, almost piled on top of each other, was truly dreamlike!
"How many years has this thing been growing here!"
Young Master Liu exclaimed, and was about to wave for people to start digging.
Master Hu beside him, holding his divination plate, suddenly said in a deep voice, "Don't move it yet, clear away all the fallen leaves!"
Young Master Liu was slightly stunned, but then he still gave instructions to the people around him, telling them to do as Master Hu said!
Ling Feng and Zhou Jin seemed to have been ignored.
The space inside the tree hollow was very large. Ling Feng and Zhou Jin stood at the side, and their feet touched the real ground, indicating that the Tai Sui had not completely overgrown the area.
Zhou Jin's eyes were shining!
He clearly wanted to cut off a piece to study.
Ling Feng, however, glanced at Master Hu again.
This person was likely a feng shui master, or perhaps a professional tomb raider. Feng shui knowledge was merely a compulsory course for him!
However, this person did have some skill. Merely by using known feng shui techniques, he had determined that there was something wrong with these Tai Sui!
As all the surrounding fallen leaves were cleared away, everyone looked at the piled-up Tai Sui under their feet, their eyes dazzled.
Although many people didn't know the value of this thing, judging by the reactions of Young Master Liu and the others, they could almost be certain that what they were stepping on was not just a fungus like a large mushroom.
But rather, it was spread-out gold!
All gold!
How much money was this!
At this moment, everyone was waiting for Master Hu's actions. Master Hu walked around with his divination plate, muttering to himself.
He held a cleaver in his hand.
Every time he stopped, he would make some marks on the Tai Sui on the ground.
It was as if he was marking something.
After everything was done, he began to draw circles around the marks, each circle being about eighty centimeters square, which seemed quite large!
Young Master Liu and the others, although they didn't know what this person was doing, did not urge him.
Clearly, Master Hu had very high prestige among the crowd!
"Alright, the Tai Sui I have marked cannot be dug. The Tai Sui in other areas can be excavated, but be careful. Touch the ground lightly. It's about thirty centimeters thick!"
Master Hu put away his cleaver and ordered everyone around him.
Young Master Liu also waved his hand, and the crowd began to excavate.
Ling Feng and Zhou Jin, like the three people in the middle, became idle.
The sword cultivator glanced at Ling Feng and snorted coldly, "Hmph, since there's profit to be made, are you two just standing here foolishly? Don't you know to go and help?"
At these words, Young Master Liu and Master Hu also turned their gaze to Ling Feng and the two of them.
Ling Feng was completely indifferent to this, not even blinking.
On the contrary, Zhou Jin beside him couldn't stand the sword cultivator's attitude and snorted, "Hmph, when did it become your turn to order us around?"
"What did you say? Are you looking for death?"
The sword cultivator's eyes widened, and the flying sword above his head once again floated up.
Young Master Liu and Master Hu both wore expressions of amusement, staring at Ling Feng and the two of them. Clearly, they wanted to see how Ling Feng and the two would react when the sword cultivator attacked again, and they didn't intervene!
Zhou Jin was even more enraged.
But this time, Ling Feng did not let Zhou Jin speak. He stopped Zhou Jin with his hand, then looked at Master Hu and said, "If you let us dig, aren't you afraid I'll damage this place?"
As he spoke, Ling Feng's toes, like a hoe, directly pierced into a circle that Master Hu had previously marked!
This made Master Hu's entire body tense up: "Don't!"
Hearing Master Hu's exclamation, Young Master Liu immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
The sword cultivator's eyes also widened: "Kid, don't mess around, pull your foot out!"
"Then shut your stinking mouth."
Ling Feng glanced at the sword cultivator dismissively, spitting out a sentence with disdain, his words carrying an unparalleled dominance!
The sword cultivator's eyes widened, and the flying sword above his head once again spewed sword energy, clearly ready to attack at any moment.
Young Master Liu, quick-witted, immediately stopped him.
Then he said to Ling Feng with a fake smile, "Heh heh, sir, let's talk nicely. We are all in the same line of work, why make things difficult?"
Ling Feng, however, glanced at Young Master Liu dismissively, "Same line of work? Are you worthy?"
