Chapter 564: Densely packed gold eggs

Amidst everyone's chatter and laughter, each person had dug a narrow pit the width of a shovel head and half a shovel-length deep.

Then everyone turned around and followed the winding path they had come by, leaving this place and returning to the shore.

After returning to the shore, everyone worked together to build simple defensive fortifications; in fact, it was just filling hemp bags with ore powder and then stacking the bags in front of everyone.

The reason they had to build defensive fortifications this time was because this was a targeted explosion; to throw the grenades more accurately, everyone was very close to those pits.

And to prevent flying shrapnel and blown-up stones from hurting people, they had to do this.

After everything was ready, everyone opened the safety pins on the grenades, aimed at the narrow pits they had dug, and threw the grenades out one after another.

Of course, even at such a close distance, wanting to throw a grenade into a designated pit wasn't a simple thing.

Fortunately, the six people including Wu Dong and Zhang Shuya had all undergone professional throwing training, and although the four including Feng Chengmin and Wang An were from a grassroots background, they were also quite accurate when it came to throwing grenades.

So, except for the only two or three grenades that no one knew who hadn't managed to throw into the pits, the rest were all thrown into the pits.

Of course, this was normal.

After a series of loud bangs, the water level in the small lake started to drop at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It had to be said that when it came to digging pits, grenades were still more professional.

As time passed, the water in the small lake soon became very shallow.

Accurately speaking, the small lake had actually disappeared, leaving only a stream of water passing through this crater.

And after the water flowed away, the former center of the lake was revealed before everyone's eyes.

In this center of the lake, there was still a layer of water that couldn't flow away, and through that very thin water surface, everyone could clearly see the things under the water.

It had to be said that this visual effect could definitely attract people's eyeballs firmly.

So, except for Wang An, Mu Xueli, and Wang Li who had no reaction, the 7 people including Feng Chengmin, upon seeing this scene, immediately had red eyes and rapid breathing.

And these seven people all subconsciously lifted a foot, fortunately, they all held back and didn't step out.

At this very moment, it was estimated that even if a "Daoist monk" who only talked about "yuan" and not money saw this, they might throw the prayer beads in their hands directly and shout loudly: "Amitabha, the more money a monk has, the better; it's all mine!"

To be honest, if that "Daoist monk" really did this, it wouldn't be surprising.

It was mainly because this scene was too damn spectacular; it definitely wasn't something ordinary mortals could bear.

One could see that in the center of the entire lake, an area of about three or four square meters was filled with "gold eggs" like pebbles.

How many pieces there were, it was definitely impossible to count; the main thing was that the quantity was too large, densely packed with "gold eggs."

The size and shape of the gold eggs were also all similar to the piece the broken-tailed fox had dug out for Wang An, the piece of gold embedded with a bullet.

From this, it could be seen that the piece of gold in Wang An's hand should have come from here; accurately speaking, it was transferred away before entering this lake.

Because this lake gave people the feeling of having an entrance but no exit.

It was just that the person who transferred the gold was discovered, and in desperation, they hid the gold, which was finally discovered by the broken-tailed fox, benefiting Wang An.

Wang An noticed the feet everyone lifted and immediately joked with everyone with a smile: "Hey, hey, hey, what are you all doing? Don't you want your lives? Ha-ha-ha."

Wang An's shout immediately made everyone feel a bit ashamed, so everyone looked at Wang An in unison and glared at him fiercely.

And when Mu Xueli and Wang Li saw this performance from everyone, they also subconsciously laughed, but these two were smart and lowered their heads in time, not being noticed by everyone.

In fact, the reason Wang An and the three could be so calm was nothing more than because the three of them had each harvested a large amount of gold bricks and gold bars in the Stone Mountain back then.

After Wang An endured everyone's unfriendly little glances, he didn't care, but suddenly became very serious and said to everyone:

"Let's throw the grenades more densely this time; I feel there must be quite a few landmines near these gold eggs."

Wu Dong nodded upon hearing this:

"Yeah, just keep one grenade per person for self-defense, and throw all the rest over."

Wang Shuai also immediately said: "The gold is right in front of us; let's pick the sure ones."

After Wang Shuai finished speaking, others also echoed a few words, and everyone returned to the defensive fortifications again.

After being ready again, the grenades in everyone's hands were thrown over one after another.

Following that was one explosion sound after another.

One had to admit that the person who designed this gold-hiding method was definitely a truly ruthless character.

Because in this place, not only were there many landmines on the shore, but in the lake that had no water, there were also landmines.

And when everyone was throwing grenades, they discovered that in many places, there wasn't just one landmine, but two or even three buried together.

The most awesome thing was that after many landmines were hit by grenades, they didn't explode immediately but exploded a few seconds later, damn it.

And the most awesome thing was that some landmines had already been blown out but didn't explode, damn it! They just sat there calmly watching everyone, as if mocking everyone's incompetence.

The reason for saying the landmines were sitting there was because the landmines in front of everyone looked very much like the Type 59 iron-shell mines imitated from the old Russians.

Of course, from the appearance, one could clearly see that these few unexploded landmines were made privately.

And from the previous landmine explosion range, one could also see, because the explosion range of these landmines was at most about 4 meters, and at least only 2 meters.

While the regular imitated ones from back then could have an explosion range of over 7 meters.

However, whether it was privately made landmines or regular imitated landmines, as long as it was a landmine, no one would underestimate them.

Because no matter how small their power was, they could easily send a person away directly.

To say it without any exaggeration, at this time, the more grenades everyone threw, the more frightened they became, and the worse their complexions became.

It was mainly because these landmines were buried too densely, and they were buried in a variety of strange and bizarre ways, which was truly damn scary.
