Chapter 99 - Chapter 99 Give the Shen Family a Hard Time

"Are we being too worried? The Gengjin Mine is deep under the lake. I think it is very hidden and should not be discovered by the Shen family." Zhao Keru asked cautiously.

Zhao Sheng shook his head and explained: "Uncle Ru, we can't just wait and see. Once the Shen family takes root, the Shen family members may pass by the wild lake at any time. What if they discover the Gengjin mine?"

hehe!

Zhao Keru laughed awkwardly, "Perhaps by the time they discover it, the Gengjin mine will have already been mined out by us. As long as we destroy all the traces, no one will be able to tell where the Gengjin mine ever existed."

Zhao Keru is a cautious person. His family has suffered a lot of casualties recently, and he doesn't want to cause trouble because of a spiritual mine.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Sheng immediately retorted: "If it's done, it will definitely leave traces. No one can guarantee that the Shen family won't discover the secret of Yehu. If the Gengjin Mine is discovered by the Shen family, what do you think the first thing the Shen family will do?"

Zhao Jinjian raised his eyebrows upon hearing this and said in a cold voice, "Of course they are trying every possible way to destroy our Zhao family."

At this time, Zhao Xuanjing added: "The terrain of the Gengjin Mine is special. If someone has seen it before, they will definitely recognize it."

Seeing this, Zhao Keru could only helplessly say: "Then what do you say we should do?"

As soon as the words fell, the three of them said in unison: "He who strikes first is strong, and he who strikes last will suffer!"

After saying this, Zhao Sheng and the other two smiled at the same time when they saw that they were so in sync.

Flaming Ridge is an active volcano with a lava lake in a depression at the summit.

Due to the repeated eruptions of the volcano, countless lava caves that look like veins and blood vessels have appeared inside the mountain.

Because there are so many lava caves and they are interconnected, an extremely complex underground maze has formed inside Flame Ridge, and a group of fire salamanders have lived in this underground maze for generations.

Therefore, when the Shen family captured Flame Ridge, they were immediately attacked by this group of fire salamanders.

Now the Shen family encountered a huge problem.

The subterranean fire salamanders take advantage of the terrain to appear and disappear mysteriously in the maze, launching sneak attacks here and causing trouble there from time to time. The most hateful thing is that they can actually spit fire.

Imagine that you are walking in a cave tunnel where it is difficult to turn around, and suddenly a flame pours in from the cave entrance. The flame sprays directly from the cave entrance to the end of the cave. Only those children of the Shen family who were burned can truly understand the feeling of being worse than death.

In the past two months, the Shen family has been extremely anxious and worried.

In order to eliminate this group of fire salamanders, the Shen family tried every possible means.

Although many earth fire salamanders died, this group of monsters became more and more cunning and difficult to kill under the leadership of the second-level leader.

In the past two days, two members of the Shen family who were at the third level of Qi Refining died in succession, but they didn't even see the shadow of the Earth Fire Salamander.

Because of this, Shen Ao, the foundation-building master of the Shen family, had his hair turned white with worry.

In a large, cleaned lava cave, Shen Baiao sat opposite an old man with long eyebrows.

"Great Elder, the family has suffered heavy casualties recently. That second-level salamander is too cunning and has slipped away from us time and time again. Why don't we go to another place?" Shen Yangao said worriedly.

The Shen family's eldest elder stroked his eyebrows lightly and asked calmly, "Where do you want to change to?"

Upon hearing this, Shenyang Ao immediately became excited and said, "I think Rotten Peach Mountain, which is a few hundred miles away, is quite good. I secretly went there to take a look the day before yesterday. Rotten Peach Mountain has already been captured by the Zhao family. We should just drive them away."

The Great Elder raised his eyelids upon hearing this, his eyes gleaming with brilliance as he said in a deep voice, "Yang Ao, it's easy to drive away the Zhao family, but aren't you afraid of provoking the Dan Sheng Ge family?"

Shen Yangao said proudly, his wisdom in his hands: "I've already found out everything. The Zhao family is marrying the granddaughter of a Ge family Jindan master. And that Jindan master has hundreds of grandchildren. It's almost impossible for them to intervene on behalf of an ordinary grandchild. The world of immortal cultivation has always been a world of the jungle. If the Ge family intervenes in even this little matter, they will incur public wrath."

The Great Elder was not moved at all after hearing this.

He lowered his eyelids again and said slowly, "Yang Ao, you have a good idea, but our family has already sacrificed many lives for Flame Ridge. It is not wise to provoke another immortal cultivation family now.

Wait! Wait another six months. If you still haven't taken Flame Ridge by then, I will personally drive the Zhao family away. What do you think?

Although Shenyang Ao was unwilling, he did not dare to go against the wishes of the Great Elder, so he had to bow his head and said: "What the Great Elder said is right."

Shenyang Ao planned to take away Rotten Peach Mountain, but he didn't know that the Zhao family had already sneaked into Flame Ridge.

At this time, Zhao Xuanjing and Zhao Sheng quietly appeared in a narrow tunnel.

Bah!

The air in the tunnel was very turbid. As soon as Zhao Xuanjing came in, he smelled a strong stench of sulfuric acid and couldn't help spitting several times.

Zhao Sheng's face changed, and he subconsciously covered his nose. With his olfactory ability, he couldn't stand this harsh environment.

"Seventh Uncle, why would the Shen family be interested in such a shabby place?" Zhao Xuanjing squatted on the ground with a part of Xiao Jin's body wrapped around his legs, his face full of disgust.

The Golden Ring Earthworm prefers shade to sunlight and hates hot and dry environments like Flame Ridge the most, so only a small part of its body is exposed.

"So much nonsense, don't forget why we are here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Sheng quickly circulated his spiritual power and released a dust purification spell on himself. After filtering out most of the air, he felt better.

Zhao Xuanjing said with an innocent expression, "I haven't forgotten. We need to find out the nodes of the Flame Ridge's earth veins! We also need to draw a map of the underground maze. Then we'll find an opportunity to give the Shen family a hard time."

"Well, now let's split up. You go down, and I'll go up. By the way, do you have enough invisibility talismans and spirit-suppressing talismans on you?"

"That's enough. It didn't take much last time."

"Okay, be careful!"

The two said goodbye, Zhao Xuanjing grabbed Xiao Jin and left by escaping into the earth.

After Zhao Sheng skillfully cast the invisibility talisman and the spirit-suppressing talisman to hide his figure, he quickly walked through the tunnel.

Because of his spiritual sense, Zhao Sheng's exploration efficiency was extremely high. After running for half a day, he quickly mapped the location and direction of dozens of tunnels.

At this time, the Shen family was completely unaware of the two's shameful act of stealing their house. They were still busy fighting wits and courage with the fire salamander every day, and had almost no time to pay attention to the surrounding situation.

In this way, a month passed quickly.

That day, the sky was clear and the air was fresh, with a gentle breeze.

On the central hilltop of Rotten Peach Mountain, more than twenty stone and wood houses have been built with a stone cave as the center, and on the periphery there is a two-meter-high and one-meter-thick stone wall, with a halo of defensive formation flashing on the stone wall, protecting the entire building complex.

A micro-settlement has now begun to take shape.

At this time, in the stone house in the center of the settlement, except for Zhao Sheng, all other key figures of the Zhao family were seated.

Everyone had a solemn expression and was listening attentively to Zhao Xuanjing's explanation.
