Two more days have passed since I took care of Yan last time.
On this plain, after multiple collisions and fixed-point detection, and after driving away a large number of monsters that came after hearing the news, I discovered about a dozen large or small holes about a hundred meters below the surface.
I recorded each location with a pen, and after estimating the depth, I found that the positions of these cavities looked like they were built along the inner wall of a large pit.
Speaking of which, the location where this once magical building was built is really unconventional.
Now that the approximate location is known, let’s start digging!
After replacing the magic core with a brand new magic core, I began to use the magic converted from the magic core to start digging crazily.
After using "vacuum blasting" to shake the soil and rocks into powder, I then used "gravity space" magic to adjust the gravity of this small area to zero. After that, I only needed to gently blow with wind magic, and I successfully moved downwards.
The excavation was carried out to a depth of almost five meters.
According to this efficiency, the twelve cavities distributed about a hundred meters below the surface can be easily explored in twelve days, even if one is explored per day.
The premise is that Yan doesn't come to cause trouble.
"Actually, I really don't want to be like this." I stood in front of Yan with the rope. "You do it or do I?"
Just when Yan poked his head out of the deep vertical pit I dug and looked down, he was sprayed by the dust I blew out. Yan lost his balance and fell directly from the entrance of the hole.
If I hadn't reacted in time, it would have been easy for me to dig a nearly eighty-meter-deep pit and fall to death a fox girl with at least a third-level strength.
"No, I promise not to cause any trouble to you for a while." Yan looked at me pitifully, his eyes sparkling with water.
Do fox creatures always resort to being cute to escape when they make mistakes? Do you think I will be fooled?
"Do you believe what you say?" I looked at Yan expressionlessly.
"I don't believe it!" Yan said firmly after lowering his head and thinking for a while.
"..."
"..."
"It's really boring. Let's go find a place to sleep." After looking at each other speechlessly for a moment, I said helplessly to Yan. "It only takes one meal at most to dig out this place. I'll call you then, okay?"
"Okay." Yan said with waning interest, and the ears on the top of his head drooped feebly.
Let me go, can the ears of the fox orcs still be like this?
After sending Yan up, I continued the great work of digging holes.
Well, I miscalculated. The deeper you dig, the harder it will be.
Not only will the range of gravity space magic begin to increase, but blowing out the dug soil will also require a lot of magic power.
I don't care about wasting my own magic power, but the wasted magic core in the magic core makes me heartbroken.
If I don't find what I'm looking for, I'll turn the land over!
But there seems to be nothing you can do except vent your anger, right?
No, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. Get to work quickly!
After digging down for more than ten meters again, the soil formed by the accumulation of dust disappeared, and soil that seemed to have been burned into crystals appeared on the ground.
Who would be so bored as to burn the ground? Has it been hit by an asteroid?
"Fire!" I raised my head and shouted at the hole above my head.
"Qin Xin, have you dug it through?" Yan's head immediately appeared at the entrance of the cave and shouted to me.
"Not yet, you come down first." I waved to Yan.
"It's so high, I can't get down!" Yan shouted to me, clasping his hands together like a trumpet.
"I'll catch you with magic below and jump right down!" I waved my hand, and an earthy yellow gravity space magic halo appeared under my feet.
"You have to catch me!" After saying that, Yan jumped directly from the entrance of the cave about ninety meters high.
When Yan fell within the magic range of gravity space, I used the breeze technique to slow down the speed of Yan's fall.
While Yan was yelling and waving his hands randomly in the air, Yan's body slowly landed.
"Wow, is this magic?" Yan said excitedly as he floated above me in an environment without gravity.
"Stop playing and get to work!" After I threw a few shovels and pickaxes from my own space, I snapped my fingers, and the gravity space magic halo disappeared.
"Ah!" After the gravity-free environment disappeared, Yan, who was pulled down by gravity, let out an exclamation and fell to the ground.
"About this position, dig down diagonally and slowly." I threw a shovel next to Yan, who was still lying on the ground with his tail twitching, and then said.
"Can't you just use magic to dig down? Why do you need this?" He got up, shook the dust off his body, picked up the shovel and said.
"I thought there was a rock layer below, but I didn't expect the geology to be so bad that using magic would cause it to collapse." I covered my mouth and nose to block the dust shaken off Yan's body.
This guy is actually a canine, not a human, right?
Is it really possible for humans to shake off all the dust from their bodies just by shaking their bodies?
"It's so hard." Yan, who was holding the shovel, shoveled the crystallized soil and said with some surprise.
This crystallized soil is hard and brittle, and Yan's shovel only dug out a few broken pieces of crystallized soil.
"I'll dig, you dig out the soil, do you understand?" Holding the shovel with both hands, and wrapping up the fighting spirit, I shoveled hard and dug out a large piece of soil.
I broke up the hard crystallized soil and dug it down one at a time, and constantly used steel materials taken from the space to support it to prevent the loose crystallized soil from collapsing.
Yan was right behind me, constantly moving the soil I dug out.
After almost an hour, we finally reached the edge of the hole.
"This is it." I wiped the sweat from my forehead, tapped the crystallized soil layer with a shovel, and after listening to the echo, I confirmed. "Let's go out first and take a breather."
"Can't we just dig through it?" Yan looked at me puzzled. "There's obviously only a little bit left."
"Look carefully at the geological layers above." I pointed to the top. "Such soil has absolutely no possibility of breathing. If you enter a space that has been buried underground for thousands of years, you don't want to live!"
After going out to rest for a while and having dinner, I used wind magic to compress a large ball of air. After putting on the wind magic isolation layer, Yan and I came to the newly excavated passage.
"One last time, never leave me within three arms lengths, and don't touch anything at will, got it?" I said to Yan with a cautious look.
"I know, I know, you've said it several times!" Yan said impatiently.
"It's good to know. Don't cause trouble for me again." I nodded.
A small hole was opened in the wind magic wall wrapped around the compressed air mass. As the hole appeared, the compressed air inside "hissed" outward.
With a wave of his hand, the shovel broke through the last layer of crystallized soil.
As the hole continued to expand, under the weak light of wind magic, a hole about twenty meters in diameter appeared in front.
Strange, why is there no gas exchange?
The perception fed back by the wind magic barrier made me frown.
"Qin Xin, why don't you leave?" After saying that, Yan planned to bypass me and walk forward.
"Come back." As soon as Yan took a step forward, I grabbed his tail and dragged him back, pressing him against the tunnel wall.
"What are you doing? Don't you know you can't touch the fox clan's tail!" Yan shouted at me angrily.
"Shut up, have you forgotten what I just told you?" I said without looking back while studying this almost absolutely round and opaque spherical surface.
It seems to be a kind of magic barrier that I have never seen before. It feels very strange.
I randomly picked up a small stone and threw it forward.
As the stone contacts the surface of the opaque sphere, it changes continuously at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then turns into a pile of dust and falls on the ground.
"If you had just hit it directly, you would probably end up like it." Pointing to the pile of ashes on the ground, I said to Yan.
Yan did not reply, but folded his arms in fear.
Even so, how to break this kind of magical barrier that has never been seen before?
Based on my knowledge of magic, the only way to break the magic barrier is to crack it violently.
But what should you do if you accidentally damage something inside by brute force cracking?
Just when I was worried, Yan next to me raised a large rock and hit it on the black wall of the ball.
"You're crazy!" I was so frightened that I quickly dragged Yan back. (To be continued.)
