After several days of continuous excavation, the cave is now hundreds of meters deep and extends diagonally downward.
Because the cave is too deep and the air does not circulate, an air turbine was installed to blow fresh air into the cave.
In addition, these villagers were not professional excavators, so they inevitably made some mistakes during their work. There were also people with supernatural powers among them, but it did not cause much confusion. Moreover, the caves were excavated manually and mechanically, so even if they were non-professionals, the excavation work was carried out just fine.
Chen Mo was also digging together not far above their heads, always maintaining a synchronized forward distance.
Of course, since Chen Mo was digging and collecting the rocks, soil, etc. into the Qiankun bag, it was not buried. In addition, during the continuous excavation process, he also used talismans to strengthen the cave and there was no danger of collapse.
Because the cave is too long, the air is not very circulated. If you stay in it for a long time, you will have difficulty breathing, and the carbon dioxide concentration may even be too high, causing suffocation. He didn't have the means at Rhine, which had a mechanical turbine to exchange air with the outside world, but Chen Mo was a master at the foundation-building stage, so he simply held his breath and breathed internally. In this way, he didn't have to worry about running out of oxygen.
However, this kind of internal breathing cannot last too long. If it is too long, you will eventually suffocate without getting oxygen. It is also because his current strength is limited. If he reaches the Nascent Soul stage, there will be no such thing as suffocation. As long as he breathes internally, he can take as long as he wants.
Now, it doesn't matter if Chen Mo insists on internal breathing for a few days, so after digging for a while, he meditates and practices. After nightfall, go outside the cave and breathe some fresh air. Although you can persist, there is no need to stay in the cave all the time.
After digging to a certain depth, Chen Mo's spiritual consciousness was exhausted, and he finally came to a vast space. His spiritual consciousness swept through it, but it did not reach the boundary. The space inside was very large, definitely 800 to 900 meters wide. Diameter range, as for the depth, he did not detect the ground.
The entire space was silent and dark, as if it were a dark space that was different from today's society.
But Chen Mo felt that this space was full of spiritual energy, and when he explored it with his consciousness, he felt refreshed and very refreshed.
I didn't expect that there is such a large space area in Southwest Province, and I didn't expect it.
Could it be said that the place Rhine is looking for is this space?
So what does this space hold? Is there a treasure inside the space?
Also, in such a place without any light, how does the soul-inducing flower grow? He had heard from Vasily that Rhine came here to find the soul-attracting flower.
Chen Mo thought about it and decided to wait. His spiritual consciousness had not fully explored the entire space yet, so he should wait until Lain entered the space and follow him to take a look.
Rhine definitely wanted to enter this space, otherwise he would not have dug a few hundred meters of tunnel to enter here.
Of course, it is also because there is a huge reservoir on the opposite side of the mountain. It may be because of this reservoir that the original road was flooded, so Rhine dug a tunnel here and entered this underground space.
This also shows that Rhine may have a map of this underground space on hand, but it may be the original map long ago. The access road was flooded by modern infrastructure projects, so he found another way to dig underground tunnels to achieve his goal.
But Chen Mo was really speechless, why are good things always in such underground caves? Couldn't they be placed on the ground?
Throughout your province, due to topography and other reasons, there are many caves and underground spaces. If the spaces here are not there, then do we still have to wait for the Rhine to dig again?
Chen Mo was thinking as he used the jade sword to dig into the cave, hoping to get close to the cave. Now, he can't figure out what Rhine wants to do. He should still be the sixth child and hide in secret. Let's see what Rhine does next.
Although we say we are looking for the soul-inducing flower, until we see the real thing, everything is imaginary, so we are still waiting.
On the other side, the Rhine side is still under excavation. Because the incentive method used by Rhine is very effective, it only costs 10,000 yuan a day, but it mobilizes the enthusiasm of the excavators. They all find ways to get involved and work hard every day, hoping to stand out and get the reward of 10,000 yuan.
If the donkey doesn't work, then tie a bamboo pole to the donkey's head and hang a carrot on the bamboo pole. If the donkey wants to eat the carrot, it will move forward as hard as it can. As a result, he could never catch up with the carrots. In the end, he not only finished the work, but also ended up not getting the carrots.
Maybe a kind farmer sees pity for the donkey, so he throws one or half a carrot to it, while the bad guy will only take the carrot off and eat it himself, and will not give the donkey any food. This is not just working. No, there is still no benefit.
Now, what Rhine did is actually no different from actually hanging a carrot on a donkey.
It's just that carrots have been replaced by money, and most people in today's society are slaves to money. Otherwise, these guys wouldn't be digging tunnels so hard now.

"Boom!" When an electric pickaxe was drilling, it suddenly hit the ground and made a sound.
Naturally, the person operating the electric pick couldn't hear it, but he could feel that the electric pick in his hand was not under force. His body naturally took a step forward. After stabilizing his body, he immediately signaled everyone to stop operating, and then he He took out the electric pick and used a steel bar to explore it. When he saw that the rock was not very thick, he immediately used a hammer to hit the rock hard.
With the tapping, the small hole gradually became larger, and naturally the deep hole behind the rock wall was visible.
The situation here also caused Rhine's men who were supervising the work to immediately step forward to see what was going on.
"What's wrong? Hey, what is this?" he asked the villager who was finishing the round of the sledgehammer.
"Boss, when I hit the pickaxe, the rock suddenly opened up. There seems to be a hollow inside. I just wanted to take a look." The villager replied to his team member.
Naturally, the team members knew what they were looking for. They turned around excitedly and shouted to another team member, then asked him to call Rhine over. Then they turned around and lay down to take a look, but they couldn't see anything. , there was darkness in front of him.
He took out his flashlight, reached in and took a photo, and immediately saw a very large underground space. However, since the entrance to the cave is small, and you can't see too far, there are only rocks nearby, so you can't see anything.
However, he knew he might have discovered his purpose. Although Rhine didn't say what exactly he was going to do to find the soul-attracting flower, the team members probably knew where they were digging.
He retracted his head, turned to the villagers and said happily: "Quick, speed up and knock off all these rocks. Maybe we have dug to the right destination."
Then he patted the villager hard on the shoulder and said: "Speed up the speed and expand the hole until the whole person can pass through. I will give you an additional reward of 10,000 yuan at that time."
Ten thousand yuan! The villagers' eyes suddenly shone. If they expand the hole to allow people to pass through it, they will receive a reward of 10,000 yuan. What else is there to say? Let's pay!
The villagers shouted excitedly: "Boss, get out of the way, I'll start right away, just watch!"
As he said that, he waited for the person in front of him to get out of the way, then he started to pick up the sledgehammer and start hitting the rocks.
Eighty, eighty, eighty...
Every hammer in front of you is of high value, and it is simply a feeling of happiness.
At first, I was very resentful of these people who captured me and others to dig this cave. Now I don't have any resentment at all, but I am extremely happy.
As long as you give money, there is nothing difficult about digging a cave. Even if there is, the customer has to overcome the difficulty and dig directly.
If I had told you that I would be given money to dig a cave, there would be no need for these people to arrest people. As long as I shouted at the entrance of the village, they would actively come over.
As the villagers knocked, an underground space gradually emerged.
After hearing the report, Rhine immediately led the people to the cave. When he saw the villagers knocking on the enlarged cave entrance and the invisible dark space behind the cave entrance, he couldn't help but feel happy. Maybe he had found the target.
It's really not easy. These days, I feel a little on tenterhooks.
He is an elder-level big shot and a double S-level superpower, but he feels a little aggrieved when he comes here just for this underground space. Now, it is finally going to show its beautiful face, which is really exciting.
With the villagers' sledgehammer blows, the entire hole expanded to a size large enough for a person to pass through. Rhine stopped it, and then he personally went in to investigate with a bright flashlight.
The entire underground space is very wide, and the bright flashlight cannot illuminate a large area at all. The entire underground space is so dark that it is difficult to see clearly.
Since the entire space is probably more than a kilometer in diameter, they have no way of seeing clearly what is on the other side.
In addition, they dug out a cave that seemed to be almost at the top of this space. Because Rhine used a flashlight to see where he was, he could see the top of the rock, which was basically an arc shape, and downwards, there was a bottomless abyss, extremely dark.
As for both sides of the rock, they are all bare rocks, with no direction to draw force from.
However, this situation did not trouble Rhine and the others. They directly took the drone that had been prepared long ago, used the camera on it, and the loaded infrared equipment to start operating the drone to survey and map the dark cave. overall picture.
Soon, they got part of the data.
Sure enough, it was similar to what they had inferred. The cave they dug was located slightly below the top of the space. Opposite them, there was a passage about a thousand meters away.
In front of this passage, there is a stone passage dug along the cave wall. Along the cave wall, it spirals downwards in circles.
It seems that as long as you find a way to get to the other side, there will be a passage down to the bottom of this space.
