Marvel Superheroes in China

Where there is war, there is death.

Almost every day, people are dying in Dawn City.

People seem to have become accustomed to these things.

Inside Lu Acai's room.

There were about six or seven first-class masters, including Chen Baima, gathered here, creating a slightly oppressive atmosphere.

"It's been three days already, and there's still no news from Qin Wu and the others. Could something have happened to them?"

Chen Baima frowned, looking worried.

Upon hearing this, the older, white-haired grandmaster's eyes flashed with sadness, and he sighed, "South Moon City is not as simple as we imagine. Even if Qin Wu and the others are geniuses among geniuses, they will find it difficult to withstand the attack of a million people from another plane. They are most likely gone."

Lu Acai frowned, glanced at the white-haired grandmaster, and said in a deep voice, "Old Jiang, I don't think so. You all saw it back then. Qin Wu survived being killed by a grandmaster and was chased for thousands of miles by a Gang Jin expert. That's enough to prove Qin Wu's ability to protect himself. Besides, Leng Ruxiang is with him this time. If they are discovered, will Nan Yue City remain silent?"

After a pause, Lu Acai continued, "Qin Wu is known for his cleverness. If he didn't want to, who could keep him here? I've been investigating the situation in Nanyue City these past few days and haven't found anything unusual. Qin Wu should be safe right now. If..."

Lu Acai didn't say anything more, but his expression suddenly changed. He narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. A murderous aura slowly lingered in the room, causing everyone's expression to change and looking at Lu Acai with surprise.

Chapter 292: Digging a Hole (3)

In the inn of Nanyue City.

Qin Wu lay down under the bed, lifted the stone floorboards, and used his mental energy to probe them slightly.

"Hmm? There really are roots underground!"

Qin Wu's pupils contracted slightly, and he chuckled to himself.

After calculating the distance, this inn is only about a mile or two away from the big tree, while the inner city is at least several dozen miles away.

Qin Wu got up, looked at the big tree outside the window, a hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes, and he smacked his lips twice.

"We dare not act rashly. Who knows if this old monster has become sentient? If we react and anger it, we won't even know how we died."

Turning his head to look in the direction of Leng Ruxiang and the others outside the city, Qin Wu gave a wry smile: "If I can't get back, you two are pretty much done for. Good luck to you both."

Qin Wu narrowed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath.

"Open the system store."

Soon, the Exchange Shop appeared in Qin Wu's mind.

Check your points.

Qin Wu muttered, "530,000... After killing a few patrol teams from different planes, the amount given is still too little. There are still tens of millions to go before I can exchange for the Overlord Spear. I need to work harder."

What do you need to dig a hole? A shovel, of course!

Open the toolbar, then go to Daily Life.

Various household tools, such as military shovels, spades, axes, etc., are displayed in front of you.

Qin Wu's face lit up with joy, and he thought to himself, "They even have military shovels. They can be used as tools or weapons. Not bad. And the price isn't too high either. Four hundred and fifty thousand is just enough."

After confirming, Qin Wu exchanged for the military shovel.

Immediately afterwards, a black military shovel appeared in Qin Wu's hand, weighing about thirty pounds, 70 centimeters long and 40 centimeters wide, just the right size. With Qin Wu's current arm strength, thirty pounds was really very light.

Having gathered his tools, Qin Wu rubbed his hands together in the inn, ready to fight. Suddenly, his expression hardened, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he growled, "Let's go!"

Qin Wu was able to completely conceal his aura, appearing as if he were a dead object.

Lifeless, inanimate objects, like stones, how could they possibly be noticed or discovered?

Of course, this method is not foolproof. Even if a grandmaster were present, it might not be able to fool them. However, Qin Wu has not tried it and does not know what the situation would be.

At this point, Qin Wu could only trust the cultivation method provided by the system, hoping that anything produced by the system would be of the highest quality.

After placing the bed board in place, blocking the door, and hanging a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door, I returned to the place I had just been.

"Sand! Sand! Sand!"

Qin Wu's expression changed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he began to act.

With both hands gripping the shovel handles, a slight exertion caused the military shovel to make a rustling sound as it touched the muddy ground.

Qin Wu moved with incredible speed, constantly scooping soil from the ground into the air with his shovel. The floor inside the room quickly changed color as thick layers of soil were continuously piled on top of it.

Qin Wu's forehead was covered in a thick layer of sweat, and his face was slightly pale.

It wasn't that I was tired, but rather that I was afraid and nervous.

As Qin Wu dug, he thought to himself, "I'm probably the only human digging a hole right under the noses of the otherworldly beings."

After digging for a while, Qin Wu transported the soil back to the surface before continuing to dig.

"Roots?"

With one shovelful, the roots of a large tree were indeed hidden in the dark soil.

Qin Wu stopped what he was doing, not daring to act rashly. He frowned slightly, looking at the crystal-clear blue roots, and began to speculate in his mind.

·· ··Requesting flowers·· ··

"Are these things unattended? I almost snapped them in two with one shovel just now..."

Fortunately, these things were like inanimate objects; no matter how much noise Qin Wu made, these roots didn't budge.

After confirming that he was safe, Qin Wu dared to continue digging. However, this time Qin Wu was smarter. He first dug with his hands, and only used a shovel if he felt there were no roots.

At this moment, the inn room was completely empty. Apart from the messy furniture, the most eye-catching thing was the deep pit on the ground, which was about one person deep.

.. .. .......

Inside the large pit, soil continued to fly out and land on the ground. The soil on the ground was already ankle-deep, and the hole Qin Wu had dug was five or six meters deep.

Seeing Qin Wu hunched over, constantly waving his military shovel and striking the black soil again and again, he looked just like a farmer working in the fields.

Humans might not even notice the ants moving beneath their feet. At this moment, in order to dig his hole efficiently and quickly, Qin Wu tried to make himself appear even smaller than the ants. This was partly to avoid being noticed by the tree demon, and partly to prevent the warriors from the other planes on the ground from discovering him. After all, one can only deal damage if one is alive.

"Fortune favors the bold. Now that I'm operating under the nose of someone at the Nascent Soul stage, I can brag to Chen Baima..."

And this blue tree spirit must be at least a high-grade Grandmaster, right? Maybe even a Nascent Soul stage demon, an incredibly powerful being.

I'm practically moving around right under its feet, isn't that exciting enough?

……knife.

Chapter 293: Entering the Lair (4)

They dug and dug, but instead of finding water as Qin Wu had imagined, all they found was dense roots and soil.

By this time, Qin Wu had dug dozens of meters deep into the ground, and he was already covered in mud. He was wearing black clothes, and now his face was covered in mud, making him look rather comical. If Qin Wu closed his eyes and mouth, he might not have been discovered.

After digging another ten meters or so, Qin Wu suddenly felt the spiritual energy around him explode.

Qin Wu abruptly stopped, his pupils contracted, his face lit up with joy, and he exclaimed:

"arrive?!"

He hurriedly put away his military shovel, buried his head like a groundhog, rolled up his sleeves, and began digging with his bare hands.

After digging for a while, they indeed found a relatively hard rock.

Qin Wu was overjoyed, his eyes almost curving into crescents. A hint of delight flashed in his eyes, and he grinned, revealing a row of large white front teeth.

"It's right down there, the spirit stone mine isn't deep!"

They didn't even bother to carry the soil up, just piled it aside and began to slowly explore the spirit stone mine.

As they continued forward, Qin Wu's expression gradually changed.

"No wonder I said no one would dare to steal it!"

Currently, some hollow areas have appeared below Qin Wu's body.

These areas are not particularly exaggerated. The most important thing is that these areas are surrounded by layers of the tree spirit's blue roots, which are woven into a large, incredibly strong net that completely covers the entire mine.

They may seem quiet and still at other times, but once threatened, these seemingly still roots instantly transform into deadly weapons, piercing the thief's body without hesitation.

"With this natural protective net, the warriors of Nanyue City no longer need to send heavy troops to guard it. Who would be foolish enough to come here to steal spirit stones? Ten lives wouldn't be enough for him to die."

But Qin Wu is an exception.

As Qin Wu continued forward, the scenery before him began to brighten.

Some spirit stones with many impurities in the soil emitted a faint light, with pale green and blue light illuminating the surrounding environment.

Qin Wu took a breath, his eyes changing slightly as he glanced at the spirit stones around him. Although their purity wasn't high, their quantity was astonishing. They were everywhere, like fireflies in a summer field at night, densely packed together!

The entire mountain range, all of it!

Qin Wu shook his head, his eyes becoming indifferent. These spirit stones were not enough to arouse Qin Wu's interest. What he cared more about was the spirit stone mine deep underground, which was the treasure that would allow him to make his fortune.

The further Qin Wu went, the more cautious he became, even slowing down his movements.

Qin Wu's eyes kept changing, which meant that they were getting closer and closer to the inner city, and the spiritual energy was becoming more and more abundant. Taking a breath made him feel like he was going to heaven. After two breaths, Qin Wu felt that he could go a week without eating or drinking, and he could also cultivate to the next level.

A glint of greed flashed in Qin Wu's eyes. He licked his dry lips and suddenly laughed, "If I could cultivate in a place with such abundant spiritual energy, I would definitely become a Grandmaster in less than five years."
