Chapter 134: Excavating the Giant Boulder

  No rush to execute the task, after all, Wu Yeru had just completed one and needed a rest at this time. Besides, the task time was also for a month, and he had enough time to complete the task, so after Wu Yeru exchanged the task scroll, he directly took advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet fully bright and headed towards the Wu family manor outside Qing Shui Town.

  These days, Wu Ye Yu naturally couldn't bring the two hundred or so children under his command with him wherever he went. If he did, everyone would have noticed something was amiss. So during this period of time, all of them could only be gathered by Wu Ye Yu in a relatively spacious forest area at the foot of a pillar that held up the sky to train. Fortunately, although it wasn't particularly flat, the place was big enough and usually no one went there on ordinary days, which was sufficient for his subordinates' daily practice when he wasn't around.

  After arriving at the foot of the small hill, Wu Ye Yu did not enter the manor, but instead rushed to their training ground. At this time in the morning, those children must have already been there practicing.

  As expected, when Wu Yeru arrived at the nearby place, he had already heard the training voices of those subordinates, and his mouth corners curved unconsciously, then walked towards that direction with his hands behind his back.

  They passed through a sparse forest, and the crowd was now jumping back and forth on the rocks, their foot movements were abrupt and strange, sometimes standing on tiptoes, sometimes stretching straight knees, but they were extremely agile, obviously practicing basic footwork, and in between, there was already a bit of the essence of footwork, Wu Yeru looked at it and felt very satisfied, it seemed that these children had not been lazy in the past few days when he was not around.

  "Ah! Young master! You're back~!" Little Peach's voice came at this time, and then she quickly jumped down from a steep cliff, her movements extremely agile, no longer the clumsy girl she used to be. Because of Little Peach's loud voice, it naturally attracted everyone's attention, and upon seeing Wu Ye Yu again, they all jumped up and came over, standing in front of him after a moment. Jelina and Lina were also among them.

  Wu Yeru was also very curious, why every time it was always Xiaotao who discovered herself first, but at this moment it was obviously not the time to ask this question. She smiled slightly at everyone and then let them disperse to continue practicing.

  "Hey! Aren't we going into your space today either? I still think the environment there is a bit better, not only are there cute little sisters, but also so many delicious fruits." The three Xiaotao were obviously more relaxed than others, and at this time they didn't rush to practice, instead they gathered around and sent Jelina as their representative to ask.

  Wu Ye Yu smiled and pinched Jelina's slightly red ears, then quickly withdrew before she could react. He immediately said: "Don't worry, I'll be at home for the next few days, so you'll have plenty of time to practice in the space later. But first, I need to find a secret spot for everyone. We can't always run so far ahead and enter the space, hehehe... You three should hurry up and practice too." After finishing speaking, his feet touched the ground and he disappeared into the forest.

  "Ah~!" Wu Yeru, who had already run a good distance away, only heard Jelina's scream at this time. "Tsk~! The previous ones I saw all said that the ears of the spirits can only be touched by the most intimate people, I don't know if this rule applies in this world too."

  Wu Yeru was now humming a tune while continuously circling around the Pillar of Heaven.

  This strange mountain peak, to be honest, except for being a bit taller and thicker, is simply like a giant stone pillar that has been forcibly inserted into the small mountain. The surface of the stone pillar is relatively smooth, of course, with some small particles that are unavoidable. The radius of the stone pillar is actually over 100 meters, straight up into the clouds, then gradually becoming thinner, and the peak is estimated to be about 10-20 meters in width.

  The weather is good, you can see the top, although there is no specific quantity, but it's definitely over a thousand meters. As for the part that sinks into the small mountain below, I don't know how long it is for now. However, according to Wu Zongyue, when he bought this place, he asked the local people of Qingshui Town, and they all said that this peak has been standing for at least thousands of years, but I don't know if it's true or not.

  "If that's the case, then this thing's sturdiness is definitely not a problem, and its area is also big enough, just right to use as a hidden base." Wu Yeyu tapped his fingers on the stone pillar, starting to ponder.

  Wu Ye Yu searched for a moment, and finally chose a very secluded stone heap to start hollowing out. This section of the mountain had many rocks, with large and small stones stacked up, and there were already many rock crevices present. Choosing this place to excavate, the entrance was not easy to discover, and if some proper cover-up work was done afterwards, it should be possible to avoid the attention of most people.

  Wu Ye Yu has now enabled many system permissions, so when absorbing energy, the speed is much faster. If fully deployed, a cubic meter of material can be absorbed in less than half a second. Adding Wu Ye Yu's previous experience with excavation and digging, it took just over half an hour for him to complete the excavation of the upper and lower layers of the giant stone space while holding the mini map and continuously absorbing energy.

  The two-story giant stone space is connected by a central spiral staircase, with each floor being about four meters high and an area of about one hundred square meters. If it were any larger, Wu Ye Yu was afraid that the stones would not be able to support the weight from above, so he didn't continue expanding it.

  Several lanterns were casually placed here, and the giant stone space at this time was not bright enough, but it could barely illuminate the entire appearance of this place. The surface of the stones excavated by Wu Ye Yu was very smooth and neat, although a bit simple, but if used as a training place in the future, it would be sufficient.

  "Hahaha~" Wu Yeyu had spent a lot of effort, and finally completed this training ground. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, but the result was a series of eerie echoes that sent shivers down his spine. The sound was desolate, terrifying, yet bold and majestic, giving him quite a fright.

  "Damn, in a cave of this scale, echo elimination work should be done, it's troublesome..." No way, Wu Ye Yu finally had to spend some more time, and the surrounding walls were covered with another layer of four-meter-high long-haired carpet, and many small circular holes were also made on the inner wall. Finally, the echo problem was temporarily solved.

  It had been over an hour since he arrived here, and the sun had already risen. Wu Ye Yu walked out of the stone cave, his eyes narrowing slightly as he stretched his body and headed towards where everyone was training.

  "With this secret base, I won't have to lead the crowd on a long run so early in the morning. When the time comes, I'll just bring them here and then enter the space."

  Wu Ye Yu hummed a little tune while thinking with a sense of accomplishment.

  ……

  Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Wu Ye Yu didn't stay at home for long, leaving the Wu family mansion to complete his mission. This time, the target horse thief was thousands of miles away, so Wu Ye Yu couldn't just run there stupidly by himself. He had to go to Linbo City first and take a civilian war kite to reach a nearby town. Although the horse thieves' hideout was far from Linbo City, it still belonged to Linbo City's jurisdiction when calculated accurately.

  And so, the neighboring town also belongs to the sphere of influence of Linbo City. However, due to the long distance, a warbler gathering point was set up in the town, which saved Wu Yeyu a lot of time going back and forth.

  Recently I've been in a bad state, so I feel a bit sorry for the book friends who are reading this book. However, I'm still shamelessly asking for votes...asking for collection, asking for recommendations!!!!!
