Chapter 498 What does this lead to? (5000 words)

Several people took out their shovels and started digging into the ground.

Then they immediately discovered something unusual about this land.

This is indeed no ordinary land.

Ordinary land can be excavated very quickly with the advanced tools in their hands.

But the land here...

Digging is just like the earth on the earth, it must be dug shovel by shovel.

The last time this happened, it seemed...

When digging down into a prison in the underworld?

The ground here is very hard, making digging extremely difficult.

"We won't dig out anything weird, right?" Zeng Tao asked as he lifted the shoveled soil aside, "Is it dangerous below the ground? Aren't those mutated vines and the like all coming from the ground?

Was it drilled out from below?”

The explorers did not spread the word about the underground world. Although survivors all over the world knew that there was a list of underground world exploration activities, their understanding of the words "underground world" was still based on their previous experiences.

I've been through underground mazes, dungeons and the like.

Therefore, Zeng Tao's knowledge of underground dangers only rested on the vines emerging from dangerous areas.

"There are definitely more dangers underground, little Taozi." Lou Fei'er shoveled the shovel into the ground with all her strength and pressed down hard, but the soil was not dug out. "Why is this thing so hard?"

Jin Yue couldn't dig it with her hands, so she raised her leg and stepped hard before digging out a piece of hard soil.

Xu Xin didn't feel any resistance. After all, he was holding a purple-level steel shovel, but the others were holding blue-level steel shovels, so it was naturally much harder than him.

"You're too weak!" Zeng Tao glanced at them proudly, "I'm just digging at will!"

"You two are responsible for taking a look at the surrounding situation." Seeing that Lou Fei'er and Jin Yue were of no use here, Xu Xin said, "See if the situation is the same as here."

"I see."

"okay."

The two put away the shovels in their hands and began to explore the surroundings.

"Hey!" Coco also ran over after Lou Feier.

"Is that a high-end tool in your hand?" Zeng Tao glanced at the different styles of tools in Xu Xin's hand and said, "Your power should not be greater than the two of them, right?"

"...My strength is still greater."

He takes alchemical potions every day.

Although they are definitely not as good as Zeng Tao and Ma Hongwei, whose strength type is mutated, there is still no problem when compared with Lou Fei'er and the others.

Of course, the leg strength is definitely not comparable to Jin Yue.

"Is the tool you have in your hand a high-end tool?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Let me use it. Your efficiency is low enough. Just let me dig it." Zeng Tao stretched out her little hand to Xu Xin, "You can rest."

...that's fine too.

He handed the purple-grade steel shovel to Zeng Tao.

Then he discovered that Zeng Tao was right.

She was able to dig faster with a purple-grade steel shovel alone than the previous four people.

The solid ground was dug up as easily as tofu under her hands, with earth and stone chips flying everywhere.

Soon, the depth of the pit under Zeng Tao's feet reached her waist.

...Do you actually have to dig so deep?

"It's easy to dig below." Zeng Tao threw a shovelful of soil out of the pit, "The soil below is very soft, and..."

"Xu Xin, there's something going on here, come over here!"

At this time, Lou Fei'er's voice came from a place not far away, forty or fifty meters away.

Any situation?

"You keep digging, I'll go over and take a look." Xu Xin said immediately, and then asked, "What did you just say?"

"Hmm..." Zeng Tao murmured in confusion, then shook her head, "It must be my imagination."

"...Speak clearly and avoid any misunderstandings." Xu Xin frowned.

"Oh, it's just... I just had the feeling of wanting to dig down, as if something was attracting me down there." Zeng Tao raised his head and explained, "But now that feeling is gone."

...what is attracting?

Xu Xin's pupils shrank slightly.

He didn't feel that way.

The difference between Zeng Tao and myself is that she has mutated. Something that can attract mutated creatures is not a good thing.

"Xu Xin? Come here quickly!" Lou Feier was still calling Xu Xin over there.

"Hey!" Coco's voice even came out, "Hey!"

"...I'll go over there for a while. You're not allowed to dig any more until I come back."

"Huh? Why?" Zeng Tao was a little confused.

"We'll talk about it when I get back."

Xu Xin ran in the direction of Lou Fei'er. Coco asked him to come over, indicating that he had indeed made a big discovery.

As soon as he passed by, he saw Lou Fei'er squatting next to a tree and looking at something.

"Hey!" Seeing Xu Xin coming, Coco immediately ran over, climbed on his shoulder, and then pointed her little paws at the bottom of the tree, "Hey!"

"Come on, come on, this seems to be the message Qin Fu left for us!" Lou Feier also stood up immediately.

The message Qin Fu left?

Xu Xin was immediately startled and walked up in two steps.

On the ground, on the soil next to the roots of the tree, there were several distorted words left.

The characters look very abstract, as if they were the traces left by a child who just learned to write.

But it is indeed Chinese characters.

[Go quickly, don’t get close to here]

Those are the words.

this……

"...How do you know this is the message left by Qin Fu?" Xu Xin was speechless, "Is Qin Fu's handwriting so ugly?"

"Look here again!" Lou Fei'er grabbed Xu Xin's arm and walked a few meters to the other side, then pointed to the root of another tree and said, "There's one over here too."

Xu Xin squatted down and looked at the words written under the tree house.

Same, those same words.

[Go quickly, don’t get close to here]

The font is also distorted and strange, as if...

People who have never studied Chinese will draw the same characters according to their appearance.

"There are some over here too!"

Lou Fei'er took Xu Xin to the foot of several trees. There were writings like this below.

It can be said that most of the trees in this area are like this.

"Although these characters are a bit ugly, they are all Chinese characters." Lou Feier expressed her thoughts, "The Chinese characters must be written by us survivors, right? Moreover, these characters are all written under the tree, you

Have you forgotten Qin Fu’s ability? Isn’t his ability related to plants?”

"this……"

Xu Xin thought for a moment.

What Lou Feier said makes sense.

What he was certain of was that Qin Fu never left these handwritings for them before he disappeared.

Because at that time, he had been talking to himself.

He suddenly disappeared during the call, and his location was not shown on the map. In other words, it was impossible for him to have time to do such a thing.

But, if it's really like what Lou Fei'er said, he...

Let trees do this kind of thing?
