Chapter 267 Chapter 267 Collapsed
Dagon already knows what to expect with the next hoe: There was only a hoe between him and the other end of the tunnel. Even though he knew, the moment he dug through it made him ecstatic. It was a huge sense of accomplishment, no less than winning an important battle.

"Finally dug through!"

Rock and dirt fell, burying Dagon's feet, but not covering his celebratory dance. This is what he learned from the miners around him. He can relax his feet, tamp the ground, and pray to the god Oli for peace. For the last feature, Dagon is convinced that it doesn't exist. Doing this dance step will not open or expand the spiritual realm channel, so God Oli will not be affected by it. It's just that the first two functions are important enough, and Dagon only needs to express happy emotions.

Hearing the voice here, a worker in the same tunnel came over, bent over. In the dark underground, Jiangu clansman's eyes sparkled, but this time there was something Dagon couldn't understand in the rays of light. "Don't make a fuss, just plug it up, before the person on the other side finds it."

"Ah? It's hard to dig through, what are you plugging up for?"

"Fool Oh!" The Jiangu clansman pointed to the front and said, "Did you see that pillar? It's diagonal, like a triangle. Yes, that means: the work is difficult, keep the current progress."

"It's difficult on the other side, isn't it the same when we dig through it?"

"It's not that the digging work is difficult, but that there is no work for us over there. We dig through this place, right? It’s finished? It will take three or five days at most, and then you have to settle the bill and go back? It’s hard to find work there. What do you eat and drink? Stay here, dig a little today, and dig a little tomorrow, otherwise you will have food, drink and money. Take it? Since you can dig through it at any time, the gentleman is not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry?"

Dagon stroked his beard, then scratched his head, he never thought that such a thing would happen. "I still don't think it's right. Dig a tunnel and connect the canine fortress, and the things over there can be transported. If the barbarians come, we can also retreat through the tunnel, isn't it safe?"

" Stupid! Others say that you only have stupid strength, but it is true. What kind of barbarians come and have a place to run? We have dug through this place, and we will leave immediately. There is no need for barbarians to come and run again! Think about it, right? Digging through here is a way of life for the gentlemen, and it will cut our way of making money. Hurry up and bury it, don't talk nonsense!"

Dagon grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, threw it into the hole, and then shook the head. "No, I refuse. It's very important to me to get this work done."

"Then you want to watch us go back and starve?"

"No." Dagon shook his head and said, "I can..."

A rock hit his head, and he dodged easily, just in shock. He could feel attacked, but he didn't expect to be attacked. Is this person crazy? Dagon looked at him, watched his lips move up and down, knew he was cursing and trying to convince himself, but he could only see, feel, but couldn't seem to hear what he was saying, his ears were filled with anger .

Dagon hits the rock with a punch, the earth move loosens the structure of the rock, and this fist smashes the surface of the rock. Blood dripped from his fingers, and the rubble fell to the ground, and his actions stunned Jiangu clansman across from him. Dagon gasped, holding back his anger, clenching his fists tightly, and said, "The tunnel is open, do you have any objections?"

"People won't like to hear this news. !" The Jiangu clansman stepped back and said, "You're an idiot, can't you listen to me? You can't go on like this, idiot!"

Seeing the man leave the tunnel, Dagon this To slowly calm down. He looked at the tunnel opened up behind him, the hole only the size of the mouth of a bowl made him realize a fact: different people have different interests, and different ideas together will only be a mess of loose sand. He thought about finishing the job, everyone could be safe and easy, but in the eyes of those people it meant unemployment and loss. What kind of short-sightedness is this!
Dagon shook his head, picked up the basket full of earth and was about to walk out, suddenly felt the tunnel shake. In the sense of the dragon, the walls of the tunnel began to collapse, and countless mud on the top of the head on the verge of collapse. collapse? ! Dagon was startled, this was a fatal thing. He heard a crisp sound, the sound of a wooden load-bearing column shattering. Thick and thick Earth Element energy squeezed towards him from all directions, and he only had a second or two to act.

Puppet mounts!
Dagon burst out with powerful mana, wrapping up the surrounding soil and covering him directly. The bear lizard-shaped puppet stood up and filled the hole from the bottom to the top, forming a mud pillar supported by mana. At this time, the collapse occurred.

Dagon tried to hold his breath. He tried to make the mount puppet form a slope to relieve most of the pressure, but he couldn't take it anymore. He only felt as if he had become shorter, a mouthful of blood spurted out, but instead of flying out, his face was covered. He can still feel pain in his skin, muscles and skeleton now, which means he is still alive, which is good news. But he knew that he wouldn't be able to hold on like this for long, and he had to save himself quickly.

The earth move was in full swing, and Dagon stepped back, targeting the tunnel he had dug earlier. Longgan told him that there was a hole there, there should not be all collapses, there would be precious air in it, or there would be a way out of the predicament. Earthmoving and puppet mounts constantly haul dirt and barely support the tunnel, allowing the Dagon to dig through the cavernous environment like a mud monster.

Unable to breathe, Dagon was dizzy and eyes blurred. He kept reminding himself that he couldn't stop, and then kept moving forward to survive. Fortunately, he was not far from the hole he had dug. Four minutes later, he finally dug a gap, and foul air poured in from the gap, and was greedily breathed into his lungs by Dagon.

"cough cough!" Dagon squeezed his eyes hard and slowed down. His lungs were tingling and his head was buzzing, but he still had a life left. Continuing to use the earth move and the puppet mount, Dagon widened the hole and slipped through.

He came to the other tunnel, part of a network of tunnels that stretched from Canine Fortress. The collapse had little impact here, only the two sets of columns closest to the connection were broken, but they were only skewed and not completely shattered. Dagon got out and stood on the ground again on his feet, checking his body with a lingering fear. Fortunately, his body is strong enough, and the injuries are concentrated on the skin. After that, he will definitely be bruised all over, and maybe even peel off a layer of skin, but as long as there are no fractures or visceral injuries, that's acceptable.

"Why did it collapse?" Dagon was puzzled. Because of the sense of dragon, if it is an earthquake, he can feel the vibration from the ground. This time there is no such vibration, it all starts with the column breaking. But those pillars are quite sturdy, Dagon everyday all passed by them, and Longgan didn't find any hidden dangers such as internal injury on them. Could it be... man-made?
Before anything else, Dagon is going out of here. He used the puppet mount to move forward quickly, followed the tunnel network to find the next entrance and exit, and then returned to the ground from a watchtower more than ten miles away. The mercenaries stationed there were taken aback by him, and when they asked what was going on, they were amazed at his good luck, saying that this was definitely the blessing of God Oli. It's just a human mercenary who was guilty of fake wine shaking his head, smirking hehe, and saying to Dagon:

"This is someone who wants to bury you and prevent you from talking nonsense. !"

"Don't talk nonsense without proof," Dagon said, "I have no enemies."

"I've seen this kind of thing, so...that's not to bury you. ." The man picked up two unburned firewoods from the ground and wobbled them together with his hands. "You said, is the pillar in your hole over there this shape?"

Dagon looked at it, then nodded.

"Usually this one is quite stable, but if you hit it from here, it will collapse. And it doesn't collapse immediately, about half a minute to one minute. If you chop it a few more times, it will collapse. This is... er, hiccup... the way to make work. The shorty at Canine Fortress also use this method to make sure that when they retreat, they let the tunnel collapse and not be used by the barbarians."

"You mean someone Harm me?"

At this time, someone stuffed half of the sausage in the drunk man's mouth, blocked it hard, and said to Dagon: "Okay, don't listen to this drunk man's nonsense. Just survive. Not bad, what else do you want? Listen to a word of advice, go back and shut up, take your money, and find another job. They are afraid of your revenge, so they will give you more money in private, if you pay more, it’s not a loss!”

Dagon snorted, he's got a lot of insight today. I bought a few extra thick clothes from these guards with a few Silver Coins on my body, and the extra money was a thank you to them. Dagon walked into the wind and snow, and after leaving their sight, the summon mounted a puppet and quickly returned to Chiling City.

Of the eight mines, only the one where Dagon was located collapsed, and only the direction where Dagon was located collapsed. This is definitely not a natural disaster. Dagon hides, avoids their sight, and uses only Dragon Sense to scout and observe their expressions and behavior. He saw the Jiangu clansman who told him to backfill the tunnel was fiercely slapped by the white haired old man and kicked to the ground.

"You bastard! It's okay to fill the tunnel, you call him out! Just say I have something to do with him, or whatever reason, he won't live down there anyway." The white-haired old man The dwarf kept punching and kicking, and said, "You can fill the tunnel. Even if he says he has dug through it, he has to continue digging if it collapses. This can...why did you kill him? You are too dark. , your heart is too bad, who would dare to go to the pit with you in the future? After this job is completed, stop doing it and find other things to do! Now get out of my way!"

Dagon is basically clear. He wiped a handful of it on his face, and the blood and mud were mixed together, looking particularly hideous. He touched his boots, took out the dagger inside and hid it behind his belt, and walked towards them.
