Chapter 146 Construction of the Underground Warehouse
Perhaps because she was in a good mood, Huo Ling was quite efficient in her work.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, a disciple of the Unloading Ridge Sect came to inform Cheng Feng.
They said three oxen were ready and asked Cheng Feng whether he wanted them alive or slaughtered for meat.
Cheng Feng instructed him to take the cow to the backyard of the shop at the train station, and he would go there to handle it.
After the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect left, Cheng Feng called out Xiao Man, who was sleeping on the ground, and took it out to the shop.
When Cheng Feng arrived at the backyard of the shop, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect were unloading the last cow from the truck.
Two large animals, each weighing over 1,500 kilograms, were already placed in the yard.
After the last one was placed in the courtyard, several disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect greeted Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng responded and then let them leave, leaving only one elite guard from the Unloading Ridge faction standing behind Cheng Feng.
"I remember your name is Wang Wu, right?"
Cheng Feng remembered this subordinate; his name sounded the same as Wang Wu's, and he also looked somewhat like a bandit.
"Yes, Chief, what are your orders?"
"Go find me a sturdy rope, a long one."
After Cheng Feng made the request, Wang Wu accepted the order and quickly ran into the warehouse, returning soon with a bundle of climbing ropes.
"Foreman, this is the strongest rope we have. Is it alright?"
Cheng Feng took the bundle of rope and said:
"Okay, after I go in, you guard the storeroom, just like before. Don't come in and disturb me unless it's something important."
"Subordinates take orders!"
After bowing respectfully, Wang Wu stepped aside and stopped bothering Cheng Feng.
With the ropes, Cheng Feng began to tie the hind legs of the three cows.
It wasn't that he wanted to experiment with some strange interest on the cows, but rather that he wanted to take them to the underground warehouse.
Cheng Feng planned to summon the Candle Dragon with these three oxen and then feed it to it personally.
Otherwise, if we just throw it into the imaginary space, what if Zhulong thinks it's beef falling from the sky?
How can we improve our brotherhood?
After stringing the three cows together, Cheng Feng pulled one end of the rope and walked into the warehouse.
Wang Wu was filled with emotion as he watched this scene. It took six or seven brothers to barely move this ox.
He took over the reins and dragged the three cows around like it was nothing.
Upon reaching the depths of the warehouse, Cheng Feng opened a hidden door and led the three cows into the underground space.
After this period of rapid development, the underground space has begun to resemble a treasure vault.
As soon as you enter, you can see two demon-suppressing beasts near the entrance.
These two stone guardian beast sculptures, each over two meters tall, were brought back by disciples of the Unloading Ridge sect.
Without Cheng Feng leading the way, they fully utilized their skills as the Unloading Ridge cultivators, passing through tombs where, apart from the tomb owners,
They even scraped off a lot of the murals on the walls.
Not to mention these exquisitely carved tomb guardian beasts.
Having a vehicle makes it much easier for them to transport large items.
After passing the two demon-suppressing beasts, a straight and wide road lies directly in front of Cheng Feng.
It leads to another tomb chamber a hundred meters away.
There are corresponding side chambers on both sides of the entrance and on both sides of the road center.
It contains valuable antiques, which are generally only purchased by discerning buyers.
Cheng Feng's destination was not these side chambers.
He walked along the avenue lined with gold and silver on both sides to the warehouse at the end.
Everything placed here must be personally approved by Cheng Feng before it can be sold; even the Palace Museum would be envious if they saw any of these items.
Compared to the other four small warehouses, this warehouse is much larger, but it contains the fewest items.
Cheng Feng opened his Ghost Eye and took out a jade pillow he had obtained from the Qinling Mountains, the one that the Unloading Ridge disciples had found on Coffin Mountain.
He placed it on a display shelf, then led the three cows forward.
Along the way, the cow's horns rubbed against the ground, making a rustling sound.
Upon reaching the innermost part of the warehouse, Cheng Feng saw a downward staircase.
With Xiaoman's help, Cheng Feng recently created a second storage space below.
This space is much more spacious, exceeding 300 meters in both length and width. It is also several tens of meters high.
When this second layer was first dug, it had seeped quite a bit of water, but recently, due to construction work, it has become even more contaminated.
The brothers of Xieling took the opportunity to purchase a lot of waterproof materials, which enabled them to complete the construction.
After walking down several dozen meters, Cheng Feng finally arrived at the second level of space.
This place looks much more luxurious than the first floor.
The ceiling, walls, and floor were all covered in concrete.
Furthermore, there are thirty stone pillars, each two meters in diameter, providing support, although they haven't been carved yet.
So it looks a bit like an unfinished house.
Cheng Feng came to this hall because it was large enough; after opening his ghost eyes,
A colossal dragon crawled out of the imaginary space.
"Brother Long, it's been a while. How are you adjusting to life there?"
The Candle Dragon is quite intelligent, so even though the space here is a bit cramped for it, it remained quiet and didn't make any sudden movements.
In response to Cheng Feng's question, Zhulong flicked its tongue with a hint of excitement and nodded its head, which was larger than a truck.
"You'll get used to it. These three cows were specially prepared for you. How about that, brother, am I generous enough?"
Cheng Feng pointed to the three beef cattle behind him and said to Zhulong with a smile.
With a hiss, the Candle Dragon swam over to Cheng Feng and nudged him with its head, forcing him to retreat.
After expressing its gratitude, it opened its huge mouth and swallowed the three cows one by one.
The Candle Dragon, having devoured three cows, was still somewhat unsatisfied, but this did not diminish its gratitude towards Cheng Feng.
Animals are not like humans; they don't have so many twists and turns. All it knew was that Cheng Feng had specially prepared flesh and blood for it.
In the past, it could only smell the blood on the sacred tree, but after the destruction of the Kingdom of Ku, it even had difficulty smelling fresh blood.
"This space is still a bit small for you, but don't worry, I will create a larger space for you in the future."
Cheng Feng patted Zhulong's head and made a promise.
At this moment, Xiaoman climbed out of Cheng Feng's pocket.
It perched on Cheng Feng's shoulder, raising its two tiny paws to look at the enormous creature before it.
Even though it's not even a tiny little thing compared to the Candle Dragon, it's no less imposing.
"It's a good opportunity for you two to get to know each other; you'll be family from now on."
Cheng Feng picked up Xiaoman and placed it on Tengshe's head.
Two creatures, one large and one small, of extreme sizes, sensed each other's presence.
They are remembering each other so that they can recognize each other no matter how much time has passed since they last met.
After communicating with both the adult and the child, Cheng Feng retrieved the Candle Dragon.
The space here is small, and even Zhulong would feel uncomfortable staying here for too long.
Then Cheng Feng and Xiao Man started a new round of construction. Cheng Feng planned to use the next floor to store special items.
Disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect often encounter burial items that are valuable but tainted with evil spirits.
They had all been thrown into the imaginary space by Cheng Feng.
However, Cheng Feng cannot be guaranteed to be present at all times, so having a temporary storage space is essential.
